Constructive PEoPLEl-A hundred times

prise that the wet weather in which have In

ireely than on pleasant days. OF course, | tell
them, if the body is we'll protected, the more
Moist the air, the more grateful to the lungs
There is no possible weather which can excuse
<he consumptiye for keeping in doors. Give
him sufficient clothing, protect his feet care
aully, and he may go cut freely ia RAIN sIeet,
snow, and wind. Ignorance OF tins TACT has

ed to avoid the night ARP Do those who offer
that advice forget that there is no other air at
night but night air. Certainly We cannot
breathe day air during the night Do they
mean that We should shut ourselves up In air
tight rooms, and breathe over and over again
through half the twenty four hours, the at
mosphere we have already poisoned? We
have only the choice between night pure air,
and night air poisoned with! the exhalations
from our skins and lungs, perhaps from lungs

RIVAL PROSECUTING SoC1ETIEs.-We are
sometimes permitted to sec the ignominious
termination of unrighteous designs TO perpet-
nate great wrongs The instance adduced in
the proceedings below may be considered a
case in point, as developed lately in an Eng
lish court:
In the suit of Brownjohn VS.. Gale, before
Vice Chancellor James, for the administration
of the estate of the late William Hollins, n
question was raised as to the disposal of a
legacy of G5O0 which he had given to the Irish
Society of London for giving Scriptural in
Btruction to the native Irish through the me-
dunn of their own language. In 1853 (after
the date of Mr.. Hollins's wild that society be-
came amalgamated with the Society of Irish
Missions to Catholics, and the latter society
claimed the legacy. Counsel for the Irish So
ciety of Dublin insisted that there was no ex-
isting society which fully answered the de-
scription in the will, and that if the Irish So
eiety of Dublin was not entitled to the legacy,
it should be administered under scheme to
be, scttled by the Court. Counsel for the next
of kin cantended that the legacy had lapsed.
The vice chancellor held that the legacy lapsed
in consequence of the so-called amalgamation
of the society indicated by the testator with
another society whose objects were totally diff
ferent. by that amalgamation the Irish So
ciety of London was in fact eXtinguished.
The money in question, therefore, fell into the
residuary estate.

A gentleman in Cincinnati while i'll at n
hotel, sent for physician. The latter, fearing
that the patient might die, refused to prescribe
until the landlord expressed his Willingness to
become responsible for the doctors fee Ill case
the disease should result fatally. The patient
recovered, but refused to pay the doctors bill.
The doctor brought suit against the landlord;
but verdict was returned in the latter's favor,
on the ground that he could not be held re-
sponsible as the patient had not died.
