WHAT WE EAT.

It is some years ago since the public attention
was called to the wonderful and disgusting things
which the microscope displayed in our drinking
water. It was said that every form Of :hideous
reptiles of the most monstrous shapes and incon-
ceivabe activity, but all invisible to the naked eye
were swallowed at every draught Of cold water a
thirsty person used Ofcourse all kinds of filter
ers were called into requisition until by degrees the
microscope and its nasty discoveries were neglect
ed or forgotten.
Having raised sensation about what we drank,
these scientific Paul Prys have turned their atten-
ton to what we eat, and now very cooly announce
some startling discoveries in the vegetable line.
Vegetables, say these sauants, are composed of
fifteen elements subdivided into two groups; first
the organic elements consisting of carbon, oxygen,
hydrogen and nitrogen; secondly the mineral ele-
ments which are derived from the crust Of the
earth. These are potassium, phosphorus, sodium,
chloride, calcium, iron, magnesium, maganese, sill
icum, aluminium and sulphur. It must be news
to most of our readers to learn what mess IF
mineral they swallow every time they partake Of
the homely Virginia dish of bacon and green's or
beef and cabbage. 1t is enough to make man
dyspeptc to think that all his life time he has been
living on iron, sulphur, phosphorus, sodium, and
half dozen other mineral Gums, in the shape of
vegetables, and yet he knew nothing about it.
Well the march of intellect is wonderful and
every day we are getting wiser but whether this
scientific wisdom adds one iota to human happi-
ness may be questioned. What advantage is it
to poor fellow to know what his beef and cabbage
are composed Of, when he can do no better and
must eat it or fast It may disgust him to know
that his beef has sry per cent of water, and that
his cabbage contains fifteen mineral elements, some
of them poisonous, but what of that it is 'root
hog or die" with him. How true what the poet
says: .-'
Where Ignorance is bliss, s.-
... ,Tis folly TO be wise. .

ORIENTAL LEaEND.-'E Every man." an eastern
legend says, 'has two angels, one upon his right
shoulder and one upon his left."' When he does
anything good, the angel on the right shoulder
writes it down and seals it, because what is once
well done is done for ever. When he does evil,
the angel upon his left shoulder writes it down,
but does not seal it. he waits until midnight.
IF before that time the man bows down his head
and exclaims, s'Gracious Allah I have sinned-
forgive me |" the angel rubs it out; but if not, at
midnight he seals il, and the angel upon the right
shoulder weeps" -. -,.

SOME PRACTICAL FACTS.

We believe there is but one opinion about the
value of advertising among those who have given
it ANYTHING of a Tia zaniua,aal AA.t-->-s-sc
those who have made good use of it is enthusiasts
ticaly in its favor. Not few Of the largest for
tunes in the country have been made by it We
mean not simply the Moaats, Brandreths, Jaynes,
brakes, Ayres, Boomers, Spaldings, Wards, Hem
holds, and those who are most prominently known
as extensive advertisers. But in almost every city
and large town in the land there Is some merchant
who has won wealth by constant and skilfnl ad-
vertising. We have yet to hear of single man
who has advertised largely who considers the In
vestment poor one. There is but one voice. and
it is always and ever on the side of advertising.
Thus far, it is true, it has been too much in the
hands Of quacks and charlotans, leading respecta-
bic men to avoid it. lest they should seem to place
themselves in the same category. And great
many shrink from advertising Lest it may seem to
imply lack of business, and go amount to con-
fession Of weakness. But those who have used it
are the successful men of the country Princely
fortunes are made, as if by magic, by the persis-
tent and judicious use Of this wonderful agency.
1t is strange that with so many instances of sue
cess secured by advertising, there should be found
any business man willing to leave it all to others.
In England and France everybody advertises,
the most conservative and oldest houses as well as
the young and progressive. There it isnotconid-
cred an evidence Of weakness for any man to pub
lish his business. The result is three times the
amount Of advertising that there is in this country
and consequent wealth and prosperity. But with
US there is no such universal custom But if they
would employ this means for increasing their busi-
ness, itmight be doubled and trebled Meanwhile,
the few who do advertise reap magnificent rewards.
We defy any reader to point to an instance where
man has lost money by skilful advertising. Its
the magic wand that can coin riches by the short
est route. It has never been known to fail. There
are thousands and tens of thousands of instances
where it has achieved triumphant success. He
who does not use it is not the shrewdest business

"He says So" said jamie, hiding her head upon
her mothers knee
"You're not going to marry jamie ?" said John,
clapping Dunbar on the shoulder.
eff she will let me, will" replied Dunbar
"Give me your hand, Percy; you are going to
get jewel of wife, if she is my sister, and /
would rather you would have her than any man
know. think you are the only man living can
manage JAMIE" said he, rather dubious about ia
MES patience, under restraint.
'sI am not afraid to have her manage me, at all
events" said Percy laughing
There was good deal of surprise, and some
quiet congratulaton, when Mrs. Carter said,
'But, Mr.. Dunbar, you are not going to take
jamie awayp'
Dunbar smiled.
"Why, Percy, it's worse than highway robbery, "
said John. "Coming here, and with malice pre-
pense, not only winning her, but whisking her off
in that way"
"You are not in earnest, Dunbar?" said MI.
Carter.
Dunbar nodded.
"And jamie is willing ?" asked Mr.. Carter.
"Ask her," replied Dunbar.
''Will you go with him, daughter?" saiI Mr..
Carter, laying his hand fondly on her head.
jamie looked up, then around the room, till her
eyes fell upon Dunbar; she met for moment the
grave tenderness Of bis eyes, then looking up at
her father said,
"God helping me, to the worlds end, papa"
Mr.. Carter's eyes filed with tears as he read the
holy trust; Dunbar's cleaned, but he did not
speak.
"And what has become of my household Ruth 2''
asked Mr.. Carter.
sShe did not know she would meet her Boaz, Z"
said jamie, with her usual readiness.
''But really, Mr.. Dunbar, this is so sudden as
to appear unadvised. Leave her with US month
or two, and then you may claim her, said Mrs.
Carter.
''Must I, Janie7" he asked.
She smiled, but did not speak
"I'n be bound you two have been plotting all
morning, and have your plans all cut and dried"
said John.
Dupbar then told them he had engaged his pas
sage; that there was some property in England
requiring his attention at particular date, and he
would be able to reach the place, only by taking
passage in the steamer. After attending to these
claims, he would then proceed to the East, and re-
turn at some indefinite time.
They were all persuaded that it was better for
him to go as he intended, though they were 10th
to part from jamie so suddenly.
swell, Percy, you've made the worse appear
the better reason, for once in your life, said John.
'But we were great fools to listen to you, for if
you could coax that sprite," said he, pointing to

Hints to Houke Ruiiders.

Many of our readers are doubtless making
arrangements for the erection of houses the
coming season, and to such we throw out a
few practical hints that it will be well for
the n TO consider.
/. Build with the intention of making a
permanent home for yourself and your chill
dren after you. Do not build house for
rome one else to occupy, therefore have it
fitted to your own wants
:. Having decided to build, first consider
what rooms you want, and then carefully es-
innate your means for providing them.
3. Build thorough. Commence at the bot
tom with good foundation or cellar wall, as
this 10 matter OF the first importance. 1t
will be cheaper in the end, and give far more
satisfaction to build OF good Substantial ma
terals, and ia thorough manner, than to
build Of cheap stuff by the Job.
!. The number of rooms each enc must
decide for himself-some will want more.
and some less. But see to it--and if you
feel yourself unified for the task, consult
one experienced in building-that they are
rel drrdnged The rooms most in use
kitchen, hving-room, etc--should have pre-
cedence over those used only occasionally.
5. So arrange the rooms fhat tn. cellar
and chamber can both be reached from the
kitcheu-even il you have, what every one
should have, stair in the front entry We
have seen houses in which the only entrance
to the cellar from indoors was under the
front stairs, twenty or thirty, lset from the
kitchen. =
9. BY all means, make provision for en-
tering the cellar from out doors, feFthe pur
pose Of carrying out and removing potatoes,
vegetables, barrels, etc.
:. If possible, the partitions Of the first
story should be directly under those Of the
upper story, for the purpose OF securing sol
iduess and hrmness to the entire structure.
3. Keep the house we'll painted-lnside as
well as out
.. We would, in all cases, advise the
erection oftwo story houses. The extra ex-
pense over that of an ordinary story and a
half house is very trifling and the better ac>
commodatlons of the second story, especially
II, as IS generally the case, they are used
as sleeping rooms, will more than compen-
safe for the additional expense
10. do not forget, says Mr.. Thomas in
his Rural IDdirs, that the associations
connected with home have most important
bearing ON the character, and those associa-
tons should therefore be such as TO inspire
domestic feeling and taste for the graceful
and beautiful; and young people especially,
impression of this kind should be strongly
made aud carefully cherished, by mparting
something OF grace and lovliness 10 their
homes. where the social sympathles may ex-
clude all attraction for the, bitterness and
strite. the danger and dissipation OF turbu-
lent and immoral world.

HAD DONE ENoUGH.-A Revolution
airy soldier was running for Congress, and
his opponent was young man who had
"nsver been to the wars" and it was the
custom of the old Revolutionary to tell of
the hardships he had endured Said he:
"Fellow citizens, have fought and bled
for my country. Ihelped to whip the
British and the Indians. l have slept
on the field of battle with no other cover.
ing than the canopy of Heaven. I have
walked over the frozen ground till every
footstep was marked with blood" Just
about this time one of the sovereigns, who
had become greatly interested in his tale
of suffering walked up in front of the
speaker, wiped his eyes with the extrem-
ity This coat tail, and interrupted him
with: "Did you say you had fout the
British and the Injins?" ayes, sir."-
"Did you say you had slept on the ground
while serving your country, without any
kiverN III did" "Did you say your feet
covered the ground you walked over with
bloodl" eyes" replied the speaker ex-
ultingly. "Well, then," said the fearful
sovereign, as he gave a sign of tender e.
motion, II guess I'll vote for 'ther Teller,
for I'll be blamed if you amt done e.
nough for your country"

Bishop Burnet, once preaching before
Charles H., was much warmed by his
subject, and uttering a religious truth in
a very earnest manner, with great yehe-
mence, struck his fist upon the desk, and
cried out in a loud voice, "Who dare de-
ny this" "Faith," observed the King,
in key not quite SO loud as the preach
er, "nobody that is within the reach of
that great fist of yours"
