That is the only proposal of mar i,
riage | ever heard made in my life
except my own, which | ought to
have said | made two nights earlier,
after my uncle had gone to bed, and
while Ada and | were seated on Lot
400.
It is, as said, three months since
the sale took place. And on the
Sunday following the bans Of mar
rage were published in the parish
church between Thomas Enoch,
widower, and Francis Bellamy, spins
ter, both of this parish" And within
ten minutes of the close of the morn
ing service they had been pronounced
a couple of silly old fools by half the
congregation: sentence which |, for
one, don't at all confirm, and which
indeed most of those who pronounced
it retracted again before the day was
out.
[ believe Hopkins and his bride
had some serious thought of alleging
just cause and impediment why these
two should not be Joined together in
holy matrimony At any rate, they
being in church quite incredulous of
the rumor they had heard) were OBJ
served to rise, In their seats when the
names were read out; but whether it
were that establishment tookfrom them
the power of speech, or be it as it
might, they sat down again, and, so
far as audible protest went, remained
forever silent.
And in consideration of their not
forbidding the union (at least | do be-
lieve they thought themselves at first
retained through fear,) and in order to
mollify them still further, these two
good old souls were given to under
stand that they could by 10 means be
allowed to occupy the house in Jack
sons Lane, but that the door. plate
must be brought back to Broad Street,
and they themselves must follow it
with all convenient speed.
There is no more to be told. The
wedding took place about a month
afterwards. Ada was bridesmaid and
| was best man, and all was done very
quietly. But l have not often seen
weddings that gave greater promise of
happiness.
Miss Bellamy's great old house.
Myrtle House, is empty, and an army
of painters and paper hangers are get
ting it ready for its new tenants. It
is not yet quite settled when we shall
go into it, as Ada seems to have an
immense number of preparations to
make of which / can in no way see
the necessity.
But when we get into it, if we sue
coed in making it as happy house as
the one in Broad Street, and in max
ing ourselves as happy couple as the
old turtle doves who coo there, we
shall be well content. My uncle is at
least ten years younger than he was
three months ago, and Mrs. Enoch
walks without her cane even when
she has not her husband to lean upon.

Health in Spring.

Spring may have its peculiar diseases,
but well regulated diet, air and exercise
will be of intellectually more service in
guarding against maladies and keeping the
body healthy than drawing away your
hearts blood or swallowing nauseous nos
trums
Engage in some employment that will be
useful to the world. This will keep the
mind occupied and in a calm State.
Eat at regular times, plentifully, of plain,
nutritious food, and take nothing between
meals, except water when thirsty. Espec-
tally, eat nothing after an early tea time.
If after these, the bowels seem inactive,
regulate them by small doses of aperient
medicine-but very sparingly; Fasting, by
emitting a meal for several days, might be
better.
Do not take too much exercise before
breakfast, but rather take the breakfast
earlier.
After dinner rest awhile.
Do not eat until the appetite Graves no
more Too much of any sort of food, but
particularly of meat, prevents the natural
action of the system and induces disease
Guard against sudden changes of the
weather. That is, do not remain still in Il
cold wind when the skin is moist with per-
SEPARATION. At such times the pores are open
and there is danger that they may De sud-
denly contracted, not to be- easily opened
again. This is what is called taking cold"
The pores of the skin are closed so that the
heat and insensible perspiration" cannot
escape, and raging fever" is often the
result.
Battle the whole surface ofthe body once
a week, and rub 1t Justify.

Minnesota for Invallds.

A gentleman who has been cured Of con-
sumption by residence in Minnesota, writes
as follows to the Cincinnati Commercial
Minnesota, all the year round, is one
vast hospital All her cities and towns,
and many of her farm houses, are crowded
with those fleeing from the approach of
the dread destroyer. Of course, among so
many, large number cannot recover.
This is the last straw at which they clutch,
and it is vain. They come too late. They
die here as they would have died at home,
as socn or sooner. Others come early in
the summer, and remain two or three
months. They are greatly benefited.
They think themselves well, and return to
their homes in September, the wOrstmonth
in the year. They plunge again into the
cares and pursuits,-an immunity from
which has been great part of the medi-
cine Their old enemy returns with great
er violence, and thus they soon yield to its
power.
Others still remain here. They transfer
hither tier business and their families,
tear out the million fibres that bind them
to the homes and associations of youth,
and plant themselves with their INTEREST," in
this young and thrifty empire. They, if
any, are the ones who succeed in gaining
q perfect cure. That they do succeed is
written all over the length and breadth of
the land in the experience OF half the mil
lion households Ask any man you meet
in Minnesota what induced him to come
here One-half, at least, will tell you it
member of his family. Did he succeed
Almost invariably, yea! Why? Because
he came in time. Because he came to stay,
bringing all his cares with him, leaving
none behind him to ache or pine for
Where the treasure Is there will the
heart be ALSO" and where the heart is
there nrsfst the body be if it would regain
wasted strength.
SO your correspondent decidedly con-
firms all reasonable reports as to the
healthfulness of the climate, and to its spe-
cifc, beneficial effects in lung diseases. The
winter climate is as essentially necessary to
complete restoration as the summer eli
mate, even more so, for it is the warm
"open" thawing, changeable winters of
Ohio and Illinois that break down consti-
buttons and render recovery from disease
difficult.
Here the Weather is dry, clear, and cold,
imparting vigor with every inhaled breath
of its bracing air. And therein lies the
scientific explanation of the leading virtues
of Minnesota air. The moisture, in lower
ATTITUDES, falls in copiousrains, on tenacious
soil, which holds it on the surface to be va
ported by the Suns heat, and made to rise
again, filling the air with miasmatic exha-
lation, the operation continually repeating
itself through the entire year.
Here that moisture is literally frozen out
of the atmosphere in winter, and falls in
deep SHOWS, which in spring rapidly melt
and sink into the crumbling soil, to reap
pear through all the summer in thousand
gushing springs These fill shining lakes
and dancing rivers, but give no poisons to
the air, now dry. and pure, and thin, but
rich with the DEMONSTRATING oxygen, which
all breathing creatures must feed upon or
die.
