ENGLISH FARM LABoRERs.-Let Ameri-
cans take new pride IL their country as
the asylum of the nations, while they read
these outlines of farm laborer's life in
the west of England. The statement is
from paper read before the British
Scientific Association, by clergyman
personally familiar with the facts of which
he wrote:
Nowhere has the Improvement of the
agricultural laborer kept pace with that
of the land owner, the farmer and the
land itself. In the west of England the
condition of the laborer is very little i'm
proved, and in some respects is worse than
it used to be. Wages are low fuel and
provisions are dear education has become
a necessary of life for a family the poor
rate is SO administered as to quench every
feeling of independence. In the west of
England an agricultural laborer had, till
lately only rs or IS. q week, and now on
ly IS. or 9s. (about 50 in gold) Unless
he is horsekeeper or sheperd he has
to pay out Of this Is. to Is Cd, or more a
week for house rent, and provide food,
clothing, medical attendance, fuel, and
every other necessary for himself, wife
and family Potato ground he pays high
rent for, and fuel he seldom gets, except
at the cost Of as many hours ef hard work
in getting it as its full value He has
three pints or two quarts of cider day,
and has a portion of his wages often paid
in quit, which, when corn is dear, is an
advantage, but other wise loss to him.
He is often not allowed to keep pig or
poultry, for fear of stealing food for them
from his master. He works nominally ten
or ten and a-half hours q day, with an
hour and a-half deducted for meals He
is almost always, however, in reality kept
a much longer time than this, and is sell

by bread and cheese in harvest time.

Plea for Early Rising.

Early rising has often been extolled,
and extolled in vain. fer people think
that an hours additional sleep is very
comfortable, and can make very little diff
ference after all. But an hour gained or
wasted every day makes q great difference
in the length of our lives, which we may
see by very simple calculation.
First, we will say that the average OF
mankind spend sixteen hours out Of every
twenty four awal-eand Employed, and eight
in bed. Now each year having 800 days,
if diligent person abstracts from sleep
one hour daily, he lengthens his year 800
hours, or twenty-three days of sixteen
hours each, the lenght of a making day
which is what we call a day in these cal
culations.
We will take period of forty years,
aud see how it may be decreased or added
to by sloth or energy. A person sleeping
eight hours day has his full average OF
800 days in the year, and may therefore
be said to enjoy complete his forty years.
Let him take nine hours sleep, and his
year has but 842 days, so that he lives on
ly thirty-seven and p half years; with ten
hours in bed he has $40 days, and his life
is thirty FIVE years.
la like manner If the sleep is limited to
seven hours, cur year has 388 days, and in
stead Of forty, we live forty two and halt
years and If six hours is our allowance OF
slunlber, we have All days in the year,
and live forty-fve years. By this we see,
that in forty years,tw hours daily occasion
either a loss or gain of five years.
How much might be done in this spacel
What woald we not give at the close of
life for another lease Olive yearsl And
how bitter the reflection would be at such
time, if we reflected at ALL that we have
willfully given up this portion of our ex'
,istence merely that we might lie a little
longer in bed in the morning ofa ~!

WASTE OF TIME.

There are only about THRsE-FIFrHs Of the ca
|. ses of chronic disease that admit of POSITIVE
AND RADICAL CURE. One-half Of the incurabes
can be, under favorable circumstances, much
benefited, and the other half only palliated.-
am willing to treat any case and do what
can for it, but it SO happens that . very large
number Of those patients whose complaints can
not be wholly eradicated do not wish to under>
go treatment. Now as my time at each point
visit is all needed in examining and treating the
DURABLE cases it would be . waste of time for
me to bestow my attention upon those whom
cannot cure.
/ To avoid this, and save the patient all unne-
cessary trouble and expense, ali are required to
write to me and await my answer before calling
on me at any of the places l visit. Each per.
son 50 doing must answer the following guess
tons: What is your height. weight and age?-
How long have you been sick? Are you OF
temperate habits? What do physicians call
your disease? Are your bowels usually costive
or otherwise? Is your complaint hereditary
that is, have any other members of your family
so far back as you can trace been afflicted in
the same manner as you? Has emaciation Gloss
of fesh) been gradually going on since you be-
came aware of your present complaint? What
is the condition Of your mind? Are your
thoughts and emotions generally of dreary
nature the contrary? Have you pains of any
kInus II 81, give Cue1I IOCBtiOO, CQ2foCtef, ana
degree of intensity rs nearly As you can and
the length Of time you have had them.
