DEATH INDOORS.

Multiudes Of persons have a great horror,
says HaEs journal Of Heath, Of going ont
Of doors for fear of taking cold; if it is lit
tie damp or a little windy, or q little cold,
they wait, and wait and wait; meanwhile,
weeks and even months pass away, and they
never, during the whole time, breathe a
single breath of pure air The reason is,
they become so enfeebled, that their consti-
tutions, have no power Of resistance; the
least thing In the world gives them a cold;
even going from one room to another, and
before they know itthev have a cold all the
time, and this is nothing more or less than
consumption; whereas, if an opposite prac-
tice had been followed Of going out for an
hour or two every day, regardless Of the
weather, so it is not actually falling rain, a
very different result would have taken place.
The truth is. the more a person is out OF
doors, the less easily does he take cold. 1t
is a widely known fact that persons who
camp out every night, or sleep under tree
The truth is, many OF our ailments, aud
those Of a most fatal form, are taken IN the
house. and not out Of doors; taken by re-
moving parts Of clothing too soon after com
ing into the house, or laying down on bed
or sofa when in a tired or exhausted eonGi
tion from having engaged too vigorously il
domestic employment. Many pic has cost
an industrious man hundred dollars. A
human life has many a time paid for an ap
pie dumping. When our wives get to work
thew become so interested in it tbas they
lind themselves in an utterly exhausted con
dition; their ambition to complete a thing
to do some work well, sustains them until i
is completed. The mental ana physical
condition Is one of exhaustion, when {
breath ofair will give a cold to settle in thC
Joints, to wake up next day with iufamma
tory rheumatism, or with feeling Of stiff
ness or soreness. as if they had been poun
ded in bag; or a sore throat to worry anC
trouble them for months; OF lung fever t
put them in the grave in less than week
Our wives should work By the day ifthey mus
work at all, and not by the job; It is NOR,
economical in the end to see how little worl
they can do in an hour instead OF how much
| Ii is slow, steady, continuous labor whiel
brings health and strength and good di
gestion. Fitful labor is ruinous to all.

THE WIFE.

1t needs no guilt to break a husband 5
heart The absence of content, the NUT
tering of spleen, the untidy dress and cheer
less home, the forbiding scowl and deserted
hearth-these and other nameless negects,
without a crime among them, have harrow
ed to the quick the hearts core of many a
man, and planted there, beyond the reach
Of cure, the germ Of dark despair. Oil
may woman, before the sight arrives, dwell
on the recollections of her youth, and, cher
ishing the dear idea of that tuneful time
awake and keep alive the promises she so
kindly gave.
And though she may be the injured, not
the iniuring one; the forgotten, not the for,
getful wife, a happy allusion to the peaceful
love, kindly welcome to a comfortable
home; kiss of peace to pardon all the past
and the hardest heart that was ever locked IN
the breast Of selfish man, will soften. to her
charms, aud bid her live, as she had hoped
her wears IN matcLless bliss, loved, loving
and content -the soother ofthe sorrowint
! the source of comfort and the spring Of Joy

As4ERIoAs, o4nr..

In our American life the natural depen-
dence Of woman upon circumstances is in
creased by variety Of causes Here wo-
man has. a peculiar delicacy Of physical
constitution that makes her especially SEN
sltlve to influence, even when in tOIerable
health, and renders it very difficult for her to
keep herself in fall health. Whether it Is
the climate, or our way Of living, or what
ever may be the cause, the fact is certain
that the American giri is a very delicate
plant: beautiful, indeed, in comparison with
Others, more eXgulsitely organized than
the English and German girl, and more self
relying than the Italian, yet not generally
strong in nerve and muscle, and too ready to
fade before her true midsummer has come.
The statistics given of American woman,
may be too partial, and too exclusively with
the dark side of the subject; yet the facts
stated cannot be questioned, and if there be
a brighter side the dark side must still be
recognized. We have heard persons who
might be expected to know what they say,
declare that they can hardly name a single
instance ofperfect health among the young
women Of their acquaintance, aud the
physicians whom we her speaking of the sub
iect not seldom lose their patience in setting
forth the miseries of feminine invalidism,
with its shattered nerves aud morbid circu-
latioBs
IF half of what is said is true, it Is one
half more than ought to be 50, and If our
mothers had not been better gifted with
maternal faculties than the candidates now
ready for the bridal ring, the present mum
ber Of the native American population could
be accounted for only By miracle, not by
natural descent.

The POETRY AND THE Prose-. .-LamaTt-
inc once wrote an invitation in verse to
Victor Hugo to visit him at his house.
The poetical epistle contained a minute ac-
count Of the mansion in which Lamartine
was the master Victor Hugo consented;
undertook the long journey, and reached the
dwelling of his brother poet. He looked
about. but in vain, for the 'embattled sum
mits, the 'bushy ivy and the ''stones
tinted by the hand Of time, of which be
had read What -he saw was an -ordipagzi
ivy, and painted dirty yellow As first he
thought the coachman had plundered. But
Lamartine appeared to welcome him, so that
there could be no mistake. On asking
where was the house which had been SC
beautifully described in the invitation,
Lamartine replied You see it before you:

bushy ivy made the walls damp and gave
me rheumatism, so l had it removed.
had the battlements pulled down, and the
house modernized its gray stones made me

THERE was dry old fellow out in JefTer-

on the member of Congress elect. The
family was at breakfast, and the old man
was not in decent trim to be invited to sit

get an invitation.

Power OF KINDNESS, "A poor woman
used to give an elephant, who often passed
her stall in the market, handful of greens
of which he was very fond. One day he
was-jn ? ~QTeat- fi1rN- and hgoke away from
ket-place. Every one fed, and in her haste
the market woman forgot her little child.
But the elephant, instead of tramphng it
to death, picked it up tenderly and laid it
on one side in place of safety. Do you
think she was sorry she gave him his hand
ful of greens as he went by? No. We
never lose by kind action, no matter to
whom it is done.

A STORY is told of New England city
clergyman who, one Monday last summer,
visited the market early in the morning.
While there his attention was called to some
very fine Strawberries. He wished very
much to purchase some, but it being very
early in the morning it occurred to him that
they must have been picked on Sunday, and
of course he could not purchase or use any
thing which had been procured under such
circumstances. "Mr. Smith, were these
berries picked on Sundays" MrSm with
sly twinkle in his eye, replied, No, Doc
tor they were picked this morning, but they
grow on Sunday.

SOMETIME 1t is a sweat song flowing to

heart, and ill the whole air with such ioy
and gladness as the birds do, when the sum-
mer morning comes out Of the darkness, and
the day is born on the mountains. We
nave al our possessions in the future, which
we call sometime. Beautiful and sweet
singing birds are there, only our hands sell.
dom grasp the one, or our ears hear, cx-
cept ia far of strains, the other. But. Oh.
reader be Of good cheer, for all the good
there is a golden 'sometfmel" Wien the
hills and Yallies of time are all passed, when
the wear and the fever, the disappointment
and the sorrow of life is over, then there is
the peace and the rest appointed of God.
Oh, homestead, over whose roof falls no
shadow Of even clouds, across whose thres-
hold the voice Of sorrow is never heard:
built upon the eternal hills, and standing
with thy spires and pinnaeles of celestial
beauty among the palm trees of the city on
high, those who love God shall rest under
thy shadows where there is no more sorrow
nor pain, nor the sound ofWeeping.

Dir. HALL gives this advice to ladies:-
Have a rocking chair in some large room at
the top Of the house all cozy quiet and clean
and in some of the old familiar tunes of the
village church Of your childhood, sing by
the hour, with an open mouth and loud
yOice-not penny whistle pitch-the
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs of
Watts and Wesley, of David and Moses, and
8 Deuteronomy add all of them;" sing away
and rock away, aud don't be afraid II your
neighbors do think you are a Methodist; for
if you are a live one, the angles won't be
ashamed Of you; bat while you are singing
think what the words mean and let your
heart 60 out in that meaning; think, too,
of the many who used to sing these same
songs with you, side By side in the same pew
but who can sing them no more now, for
their lips are still in death and their sweet
voices are hushed in the churchyard grave,
to be heard no more until you Join them in
the halIelujahs of the skies
