RECREATION AND RENovATIoN.--The boz
dy is recruited by change in the form oc
its exercise the mind is renovated by sleep,
by profound rest; hence the best way of
re-invigorating the whole man, whether of
the laborer or the literdteur, is not to go to
the springs or some country house, and
lounge, and loiter, and eat, and doze away
the tardy hours, but to secure employment
which will bring into requisition those mus
cles of the body which have, in measure,
been lying dormant, and to keep up that
exercise in the open air, day after day, to an
extent that the body shall be so fstigued
that deep sleep comes within FIVE minutes
after the head has reached the pillow. This
gives natural rest to the brain, which, for
the whole day following, will thrill The
whole body with the electrical influences
which it distributes through it by means of
the nervous system and if this process is
repeated day by day, it will not be q week
before new spring will be added to the
step, new fire will sparkle in the. eye,
new energy will be infused into the mental
faculties, and the whole physical man will
be rejuvenated, while heart and soul will
respond to the general invigoration.
Official documents show
| that seventeen families who married cousins
were idiots twelve others were scrofulous
or puny; another was a dwarf another was
deaf; so that more than onehalf were de-
formed. Surely they cannot be wise who in
marrying cousins deliberately run such fear
full risks. The very sight of deformed
child is living torture to any mothers
heart, and only the grave of one of them
can end it.
SLEEPING Rooms should always face the
south, so as to secure all that is possible o
the drying, life-giving and purifying influ
ences of the suns rays. In modern Rome
this is perfectly understood by the citizens
and just double is asked for ROOM or
parlor or lodging-pa which faces the sun
that is asked for one of a Northern expo
sure, into which suns ray never enters.-

NATURES WORSHIP.


The following is perhaps the most beautiful of 1
arious songs sung by the ''gentle guest" introduc
y Whittier into his "Tent on the Beach:
The harp of Natures advent strung
Has never ceased to play; ... .
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died AWAY.
And prayer is made, and praise is given,
By all things near and far
The ocean looketh up to heaven,
And mirrors every star. ...... .
Its waves are kneeling on the strand,
As kneels the human knee.
Their white locks bowing to the sand,
The priesthood Of the sea
They pour their glittering treasures forth,
Their gifts of pearl they bring,
And all the listening hills of earth
Take up the song they sing.
The green Garth sends her incense up
From many mountain shrine ....
From folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her sacred wine.
The mists above the morning rills
Rise white as wings of prayer
The altar curtains of the hills
Are sunsets purple air. sf . r..
The winds with hymns of praise are loud,
Or low with sobs of pain,
The thunder-organ of the cloud,
The dropping tears of rain. .
With dropping head and branches crossed
The twilight forest grieves,
Or speaks with tongues Of Pentecost
From all its sunlit leaves ..
The blue sky is the temples arch,
Its transept earth and air.
The music of its starr march ....s .
The chorus of prayer.
So Nature keeps tho reverent frame
With which her years began,
And all her signs and voices shame

SALT LAKE CITY.-A correspondent writ
ing of Salt Lake City says: "This singular
town covers an area of about nine square
miles-that is, three miles each way. 1t is
one of the most beautifully laid out cities in
the world. The streets are very wide, with
water running through nearly every one of
them. Every block is sorrounded with
beautiful shade trees, and almost every
house has its neat little orchard of apple,
peach, apricot and cherry trees. In fact the
whole nine squares is almost one continuous
orchard"

Several hundred English sparrows have

in destroying insects and grubs.

RIDE AsTRIDE.-In Solano county, last
week, Miss Mary Marthwood, aged fifteen,
was killed near Rio Vista, by falling from the
horse on which she was riding. While her
animal was running at full speed she fell,
her skirts hanging to the saddle, dragging
her for the distance Of half mile, and hor.
ribly mangling her body. After announcing
that fact the San Jose Mercury adds:
If she had been dressed in a suitable riding
habit, and had been seated upon her horse in
the only safe manner in which a horse can
be ridden-that is, astride-no such accident
could have occurred. A young lady from
this city was thrown from horse, last week
and barely escaped with her life. Accidents
of this kind are alarmingly frequent. 1t is
well that ladies who practice horseback rid
ing are usually furnished with gentle horses,
or they would meet with far more accidents
than they now do. There is death in the
side saddle, sure, for every woman who fol-
lows the present dangerous fashion of riding
sidewise. 1t is only a question of time they
are all bound to break their necks in the end
If ladies would enjoy the healthful pleasure
of horseback riding, safe from such danger
Gus accidents as that noted above, they
should wear the modest and beautiful Turk
ish riding dress, and ride astride
