Advantages Of Crying.

A French physician is out in long dis
sertation on the advantages of grooming and
crying in general, and especially during
surgical operations. He contends that groan-
ing and crying are two grand operations by
which Nature allays anguish that those
patients who give way to their natural feel
ings more speedily recover from accidents
and operations than those who suppose it
unworthy man to betray such symptoms
of cowardice as either to groan or to cry.
He tells of man who reduced his pulse
from one hundred and twenty-six to sixty
in the course of few hours, by giving full
vent to his emotions. If people are at all
unhappy about anything, let them go in
their rooms and comfort themselves with a
loud boohoo and they will feel hundred
per cent. better afterward.
In accordance with the above, the crying
of children should not be too greatly dis
couraged. If it is systematically depressed
the result may be St. Vitus' dance, epileptic
fits, or some other disease Of the nervous
system What is natural is nearly always
useful and nothing can be more natural
than the crying Of children when anything
occurs to give them either physical Or men
tai pain.
Probably most persons have experienced
the effect Of tears'in relieving great sorrow.
1t is even curious how the feelings are al
layed by the free indulgence in groans and
signs Then let parents and friends show
more indulgence to noisy bursts Of grief
on the part Of children as well as of older
persons-and regard the eyes and the mouth
as safety-valves through which Nature dis
charges her surplus steam.

Live Cattle weighed by Measure

The only instrument necessary is a meas
ure with feet and inch marks upon it. The
girth is the circumference of the animal just
behind the shoulder blades. The length is
the distance from the shoulder blades. The
superficial feet are obtained by multiplying
the girth and length. The following table
contains the rule to ascertain the weight Of
the animal:
If less than one foot in girth, multiply
superficial feet by eight.
IF less than three and more than one null
tiply superficial feet by eleven.
If less than FIVE and more than three,
multiply superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than seven and more than five null
tiply superficial by twenty-five.
If less than nine and more than seven,
multiply superficial feet by thirty three.
If less than eleven and more than nine,
multiply superficial feet by forty-two.
Example: Suppose the girth of a bullock
to be six feet three inches; length five feet
six inches the superficial area will then be
thirty-four, and, in accordance with prece-
ding table, the weight will be seven hundred
and eighty-two pounds.
Example: Suppose pig to measure in
girth two feet, and length one foot and nine
inches. There would then be three nd-a-
half feet, which, multiplied by eleven, gives
thirty ight-and- half pounds as the weight
of the animal when dressed. In this way,
the weight of the four quarters can be SUBJ
stantially ascertained during life.

Is HE Rich MANY sigh is beaved,
many heart is broken, many life is rem
dered miserable, by the terrible infatuation
which parents often manifest in choosing
a life-companion for their daughters. How
is it possible for happiness to result from
the union of two principles SO Numerically
opposed to each other in every point, as
virtue is to vice? And yet, how often is
wealth considered better Recommendation
for young men than virtue. How often is
the first which is asked respecting the sutton
of daughter, this: Els he rich ?" Yes, he
abounds in wealth /; but does that afford any
evidence that he will make kind and efec-
tionate husband lis he rich ?" Yes. his
clothing is purple and fine linen, and he
fares sumptuously every day, but can you
infer from this that he is virtuous els he
rich p Yes, he has thousands floating on
every ocean but do not riches sometimes
stake to themselves wings and fly away ?"
And will you consent that your daughter
shall marry man who has nothing to re-
commend him but his wealth ? All, beware!
The gilded bait sometimes covers a bearded
hook Ask not, then, ''is he rich ?" but
sis he virtuous 2" Ask not if he has
wealth, but has he honor and do not sacri-
fee your daughters peace for money.

RICH WITHOUT MoNEY.-Many man is
rich without money. Thousand, Of men
with nothing in their pocket and thousands
without even pocket are rich. A man
born with good sound constitution, good
stomach, a good heart, and good limbs and
a pretty good head piece, is rich. Good
bones are better than gold, tough muscles
than silver, and nerves, that fash fire and
carry energy to every function, are better
than houses and land It is better than
landed estates to have had the right kind
Of father and mother. Good breeds and bad
breeds exist among men as really as among
herds and horses. Education may do much
to check evil tendencies, or to develop good
ones, but it is great thing toinherit the
right proportion of faculties to start with.
That man is rich who. has favor of wit
and fun in his composition. The hardest
thing to get along with in this world is a
mans own self. A cross, selfish fellow, a
responding and complaining fellow. timid
care burdened man-those are all born de-
formed on the inside. Their feet may not
limp, but their minds do A man Of for

gladly part with every dollar to obtain
