DISEASE PRODUCED BY SLEEPING TOGETHER.
During the night says writer on hygienics,
there is considerable exhalation from our bodies,
and at the same time weabsorb large quantity
of the vapors Of the surrounding air. Two
healthy young children, sleeping together, will
give and receive healthy exhalations; but an
old, weak person near child will, in exchange
for health, only return weakness. A sic k
mother, near her daughter, communicates sickly
emanations to her; if the mother has cough of
long duration, the daughter will at some time
also cough and suffer by it !; if the mother has
pulmonary consumption, it will be ultimately
communicated to her child. 1t is known that
the bed of a consumptive is powerful and sure
source of contagion, we'll for men for wo-
men, and the more SO for young persons-
Parents and friends ought to oppose, as much
as in their power, the sleeping together of old
and young persons, and the sick of the healthy

WISDOM I'm LovE-MAKrMG.

81 know that men naturally shrink from the
attempt to obtain companions who are their su-
periors; but they will find that really Intelligent
women, who possess the most desirable qualities,
are uniformly modest, and hold their charms in
modest estimation. Wha. such women most
admire in men is, gallantry; Lot the gallantry
of courts and fops, but boldness, courage, devo-
tion, decision and refined civility. A mans
bearing wins ten superior women where his
fore woman with respect for himself and fear
lessness of her, his suit is half won. The rest
may safely be left to the parties most interested.
Therefore, never be afraid of woman. Women
are the most harmless and agreeable creatures
10 the world, to man who shows that he has
got mans soul in him. If you have not got
the spirit in you to come up to test like this,
you have not got that in you which most pleases
high-souled woman, and you will be obliged
to content yourself with the simple girl who, in
a quiet way is endeavoring to attract and fasten
you.
"But don't be in hurry about the matter
Don't get into feverish longing for marriage
1t is nit credtable to you. Especially don't i'm
agne that any disappointment in love which
takes place before you are twentyo one years old
will be of any material damage to you. The
truth is, that before man is twenty five years
old he does not know what he wants himself
So don't be in hurry. The more of man
you become, and the more manliuess you be-
come capable Of exhibiting in your association
with women, the better wife you will be able to
obtaiH and one years possession Of the heart
aud hand of really noble specimen of her sex
is worth nine hundred and ninety mine years
possession OF sweet creature with two ideas 10
her head, and nothing new to say about either
of them. Better fifty years of Europe than
cycle of Cathay.' So don't be in hurry, say
again. You don't want a wife now, and you
have not the slightest idea of the kind of wife
you will want by -and-by Go into female So
ciety if you can find that which will improve
you, but not otherwise. You can spend your
time better. Seek the society of good men -
That is often more accessible to you than the
other, and it is through that mostly that you
will find your way to good female society,"

THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE Won

THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD
A native of Australia, Mr. j. E. Evans, re-
Gently gave an exhibition of remarkable strength
at the Sea Hotel, in Chesterfield, England, to
establish his claims as the strongest man in the
world
He held ffty-six pound weight in various
positions, and increased the number until he
raised four ifty-six pound weights above his
head, holding them at arms length and at the
same time standing upon four tumbler glasses.
He also held the weights on the top of the glass;
and allowed glass of water to be placed upon
the top of the weights. He laid fiat upon the
floor and let ffty-six pound weight fall dis
tauce of about yard on his bare chest, aud the
weight rebounded as though it had come in con-
tact with piece of India rubber. A piece Of
stone, four inches thick, was next placed upon
hi. chest and Mr. Hinch, blacksmith, smashed
it with two blows into fragments. Mr. Hinch
and Mr. Turner then cut piece of twe-inch
iron in two across bis chest with the hammer
and chisel. The feats concluded by Professor
Hercules lying fat upon tie floor, and allowing
Mr. Hinch to strike him with all his strength,
with sixteen pound sledge hammer. The blow
was met by the Professor, and the hammer re-
bounded without leaving scratch upon his
body. ...rs .

MURDER AvENGED.-A New Orleans letter
in the Chicago Republic shows how murdered
man has been avenged:
1t may be remembered that few weeks ago
very brutal and outrageous murder was com
mitted 10 the town of Nachitoches, La, by three
prominent citizens of that place. The murder
ers were brothers, by the name of Jones. One
was judge, another was physician and the
third was planter. Their victim was Mr.
Stauffer, and the murder was committed partly
for political reasons aud partly to crafty per-
sonal hate. The planter Jones fed te Texas,
where be now is, but the other TWO brothers
were, with difficulty arrested, and the Jail at
Nacbitoehes being insecure, we're brought to
this city and imprisoned In the military Jail.
Last week DR.. Jones died in prison, and on Sat-
urday night Judge Jones, who had been at
tackled with cholera while in the jail, was re-
moved to the house of relative 10 this city,
but died before morning. The military authori-
ties 10 Texas have been directed to keep q
bright lookout for tie third assassin, and if he
is caught, the murdered man will be tolerably
we'll avenged.

FELT HAppY.-A clergyman in an
adjoining town, who is being blessed
witha revival of religion in bis church,
went one evening TO attend neigh
boring prayer meeting. Tho house
was full, and all present seemed deep
ly interested in the exercises AT the
close of the meeting he invited all
those who desired TO hold a personal
conversation with him, as TO the state
of their feelings, TO remain. Quito a
number did so, and among them a
"hardy son of toll" whom we will
call Mr.. b. The good Minister in his
round of conversation with each one,
came to him; and upon inquiring the
state of his feelings received the reply
that he "felt happy" "Ah, indeed" ,"
said the preacher, 81 am rcjoiced TO
hear you say so; may l inquire how
long you have enjoyed this happy
frame of mindY "Perhaps, mostly
since last week. said Mr.. b. "Well,
my friend" said the clergyman, "to
what particular event or circumstance,
or occasion, do you trace this happy
change in your feelings Z" "Well,

perhaps the news of the election ol
Mr.. English for Governor of the State
of Connecticut, was about the spot to
start from. "-Hdrtford Times.

INTEMPERANcE--The worst forms
of intemperance now prevalent are
not those that appear in low dens,
with sordid garments, and accompa-
niod with profane and obscene merri-
ment. They arc among men who
wear good clothes, in counting house
in public Offices, in Legislative bodies
and, it must be said, in the PULPIT.
They are in the boudoirs, and the gil
ded parlors, and the walks Of fashion
able society, where female excellence is
debauched by the terrible curse and
fascination of strongdrink. Drunkards
are made surely in the vicious prac-
tices of fashionable drinking; with
men the over-wrought brain, tho too
severe straining ofthe nervous system,
the cxcitements of business, and the
consequent languor of temporary re-
pose, demand the stimulants that lead
them TO ruin; while the pernicious
modes Of physical life enjoined by
fashionable life among women, lead
ing to debility and premature decay,
call for the use of tonics, which in
untold instances result in most misera
bic inebriation, butpartially concealed
by social position, and disguised from
common fame under the names of las
situde and protracted infrmity.

The New York World says that
prominent among Wilson's toadies
when he was in New Orleans, were
Sheridan's military Mayor Heath and
an ancien. nogro named Jordan. They
rode through tho streets together in a
barouche, Heath being on one side Of
Jordan and the Colonel on the other.
The last time the two Southern wor-
thics were seen on the streets togeth-
er, was when they turned out to escort
the Federal prisoners of Bull Run,
Heath as an active member of the
Confederate (homc) guards, and Jor-
dan as Captain of company Of color
cd Confederates. On that occasion
they conducted many of the comrades
of Wilson's colonelcy, and would have
had the satisfaction Of escorting Will
son had not the better part of valor
impelled him to forcgo that honor for
this safer civic display.
