FIFTEEN FOLLIES.

1st. To think that the more man eats
the fatter and stronger he will become.
End. To believe that the more hours
children study at school the faster they
learn.
3rd. To conclude that if exercise is good
for the health, the more violent and ex.
hausting it is, the more good is done.
4th. To imagine that every hour taken
from sleep is an hour gained.
5th. To act on the presumption that the
smallest room in the house is large enough
to sleep in.
9Th. To argue that, whatever remedy
causes one to feel Immediately better, is
"good for" the system, without regard to
more ulterior effects. The ''soothing syrup
for example, does stop the cough of child
rem, and does arrest diarrhoea, only to
cause, little later, alarming convulsions,
or to more fatal Inflammation of the brain,
or water on the brain; at least, always
protracts the disease.
7th. The committal of an act which is
felt in itself to be prejudical, hoping that
somehow or other it may be done in your
case, with impunity.
9Th. To advise another to take remedy
which you have not tried on yourself, or
without making special inquiry whether all
the conditions are alike.
9th. To eat without on appetite, or con-
tinue to eat after it has been satisfied, mere
ly to crafty the taste.
10th. To- eat hearty supper for the
pleasure experienced during the brief time
it is passing down the throat, at the ex-
pense of whole night of disturbed sleep
and weary waking in the morning.
18th. To remove portion of the cloth
ing Immediately. after exercise, when the
most stupid drayman in New York knows
that if he does not put cover on his horse
the moment he ceases work in winter, he
will lose him in few days, by pneumonia.
18th. To contend that because the dirti-
est children in the street, or on the high
way, are hearty and healthy, therefore it is
healthy to be dirty; forgetting that contin-
uous daily exposure to the pure out door
air, in Joyous, unrestrained activities, is
such a powerful agency for health that
those who live thus are well in spite of rags
and filth.
18th. To presume to repeat, later in life,
without injury, the indiscretions, exposure
and intemperance, which in the flush Of
youth were practiced with impunity.
18th. TO believe that warm air is neces-
sarily more healthy than the confined air Of
close and crowded vehicles; the latter at
most can only cause fainting and nausea ;
while entering conveyance after walking
briskly, lowering window thus while still
exposed to draft will give cold infalli-
bly,, or attack of pleurisy or pneumonia,
which will cause weeks and months of suf-
fering, if not actual death within four
days.
18th. To "Remember the Sabbath day"
by working harder and later on Saturday
than on any other day of the week, with a
view to sleeping late next morning, and
staying at home all day to rest, conscience
being quieted by the plea of not "feeling
vel" ."-HaWs Journal Of Health.

LAMENT OF THE PETIT JURY.

BY DEEP SUFFERING.
I am sitting on the Jury, Mary,
Would I were by thy side.
This fine March morning, glad and bright,
AS when you were my bride.
The sheriff grabbed me on the street.
The clerk cried out my name;
I told them you were sick, Mary,
But they boxed me all the same.
The place is somewhat changed, Mary,
Since sat here before;
They've got some drapery DER the bench,
And q carpet on the floor.
But the lawyers bore me Just as much,
AS they howl, and whine and screech;
I still keep listenin' for the words
Which close the well-worn speech.
'Tis but step across the street,
To where they set a lunch;
The place where they are famed, Mary,
For making whiskey punch.
But the sheriff stands between, Mary,
And my steps he would arrest;
So I'll lay me, darling, down to sleep,
With my head upon my breast.
I'm very lonely now, Mary,
For they've sent us to our room;
We've talked the matter DER and DER,
But to no verdict come.
know what would do, Mary,
If they'd ask me to find
There's nothing LETT to.talk for now,
Since each has made his mind.
Yours was the good, brave heart, Mary,
That still kept hoping on,
When they had me on the jury list,
And my last excuse was gone.
There was comfort ever on your lip,
Though the judge pulled down his brow;
bless you, Mary, for that same,
Though you cannot hear me now.
I thank you for that patient care
That gave this piece of cake;
Now hunger's pains are gnawing here,
I'll eat it for your sake.
bless you for the little snack
That quelled the rising storm;
But, oh I'll thank you more, Mary,
Ifyou'll keep my dinner warm.
I'm biddin' you long farewell,
My Mary, kind and true;
I'm afraid we will hang, darling,
know we're goin' TO-;
For stubborn jurors got view
That we all know is wrong;
But he'll not give up though We should hang
Here fifty times as long.
Oh, often, in some future day,
I'll sit and shut my eyes,
And my mind will travel back again
To all those lawyers lies;
And I'll think see the jury room,
Through which our voices rang,
And that stubborn fool who would not yield,
But made the jury hang.
