SPRING DISEASES.


| Reader have you mite, one solitay atom,
Of common sense? If you have, be persua-
ded to made healthful use Of it and com.
mence on the instant. As soon as spriug
begins to set in, almost everybody has more
or less feeling of lassitude; there is less
buoyanoy, less of an appetite, less disposi-
ton to exercise some are 50 indisposed that
they have to keep in the house, and num-
bers take to their beds. All this is vour
own fault; it's because you have cot no
sense, not particle; or, ifyou have, you do
not make use Of it. You can readily under
stand that now, as the weather is warmer.
you do not require as much fire ia the
house and may be you arc wondering wby
the servants will persist in making the
house hotter now than in the depth of win

as IN mid-winter, and they have not the
sense to know this, or at least they do not
care to think The human body is house

heat must be maintained at the same fem
Is
ninety-six degrees. The stomach Is, in a
sense, the furnacs; the food put into it the
fuel; the lungs set it on fire. Why, then,
do you eat in warm weather as much as in
cold weather? On spring day, when
scarcely any fire is needed in the house, you
cram as much fuel into your stomach as in
the depth Of winter You see now that
you have not as much sense as Biddy; she
is only trying to burn up your house, you
are trying to burn yourself up with fever.
A baby not three months old has too much
sense to poke its little finger into the candle
twice. yet you are poking your whole glut-
tonous hulk, head foremost, every day into
the furnace, and yet actually don't know
what hurts you. You don't think; or, if
you do, they are such diluted, milk and wa

Iu adult life all the food we eat serves two
purposes; it sustains and keeps warm For
the latter object meats, oils, buffers, gra-
vies, and sweets are used; hence, in warm
weather, comparatively small amount of
these things should be eaten; but in their
place take breads, fruits, vegetables, melons,
and berries. Natures instincts call loudly
for the acids Of berries aud fruits, and for
the earliest tender vegetables, the greens"
and the salads of our gardeners. II is be-
cause they have no heating qualities; they
are rather cooling in their nature. They
who spend much of their time indoors,
would enjoy an exemption from a great

A STONE BOWL FuIL OF corn
REMARKABLE DISCOVERY,

There has been ono emotion in Paris dur
ing the last few days, created BY the sudder
temperance 10 the world of Paris Of th,
Yleomte de -, one Of the quondan
tavorites, who had left the city in the great
est condemnation aud disgrace some sever
years ago, and who returned bronzed anG
hardened, both in mind and person, to re-
sumo the place among his friends which not
they but he declared he had forfeited by hi.
own imprudence and folly.
by the kindness Of a relative he was ena-
bled to steam away for New Grenada, where
he had been able to obtain a situation as
clerk to the engineer just then employed in
the construction Of line Of railway through
the country.
In this position be fulfilled his small du-
ties with the most perfect exacitude for
more than three years, and at the end Of
that time, the railway being terminated, was
ordered to another duty in another part Of
the country. The way was over the steep
est mountains. He had already gut through
the greater part Of his journey when, one
day, overcome by the heat, he laid himself
down by the side of a running stream, which
refreshed him both by sight and sound aud
foll TO mu>iug on the hard fate which had
tornhim from his relatives and friends to
wander thus lonely exile in foreign land,
wher his attention was suddenly called from
these high fights to circumstance which
vas taking place immediately beneath his
eye, and which had escaped him while gaz-
ing On the heavens.
The phenomenon was this: Close to
where his head was lying amid the grass and
foweH, the running water formed an eddy,
which after turning in tiny whirlpool, pro-
ceedcd to fall into a narrow aperture, whence.
on examination, he beheld no issue. His
curiosity was aroused, and he raised him
self up to gaze down into the hollow, the
sides of which he found to consist of two
blocks of stone, so worn down and polished
by the continued rush of the current that he
could see TO the very bottom The sight
he there beheld made him stagger and fall
back, almost without consciousness on the
grass In that single hollow had filtered
for centuries the gold SAND carried by the
current from the bed ofthe river some miles
higher up, where gold washing had been
carried on for many generations.
There lay before him one glttering pile
of the precious ore, cleaning at the bottom
ofthe limpid water, and demanding only a
strong hand and resoIute will, both of which
he possessed, to draw it to the surface.
Needless to say, he retraced his steps to the
place whence he had departed, and soon
returned, bringing back men and maehin-
cry, and, as he says, when telling the wond-
rous tale, you may believe me if you
choose, but in less than three weeks l had
become the richest man in the whole repub-
lie. - What bears out the assertion is the
purchase he has just made Of one of the
mansions at TIE Barrere de I rEtoile, and the
splendid style in which he has mounted bis

A SWEET HOME.


There are some people who are not con-
tent to let us eat our bugs and worms and
dirt in peace. They worried at us with tri.
chime horrors until we gave up much Of
our pork-Wbich was a good thing. Now
they have leveled their compound micro
scopes at the brown sugar barrel and are
driving US, With their pictures of crigqly
crabs, into the use of white sugar-which
real economy ought have led US to long ago.
In brief, their story is that all raw, or brown
sugar, is infested with minute insects some
times large enough to be seen By the naked
eye--whieh live on the foreign albuminous
matter in the sugar As many as I00, 600
have been found ina single pound. They
are lively, rapid, ersb-like fellows, and first
cousins, ifnot nearer relatives, of the insect
which burrows under the skin, and produces
the disease known in humble life as the
itch. That these are never found in re.
fined sugar is due to the fact that the very
process of refining removes them as well as
the aihnminnns i,aar.,,-it;es on rghiah fhAu
feed. That tie sugar reiners may have in
terested themselves in throwing light on
this subject is quite probable, but the facts
seem to be undoubtedly as stated. Two
comforts present themselves: the first, that
twill no mere hurt us to eat several millions
more Of the sacqri saccltart than the several
millions We have already eaten, and, secondly
that white sugar is probably cheaper dollar
for dollar and sweetness for sweetness, than
the populous brown sugar.

BETTER THAN A CONSTABLE.

A French paper gives US the following
dog story, which will fully match anything
we have lately met With
NO dogs admitted, sir, said the porter
70 gay ~eoonblago, as young man aud
his dog appeared at the entrance
You must leave him behind if you go
in. F."
Very well, said the young man stay
about here, Prince, till come back
BY and by the young man wished to
refer to his watch, when behold the chain
had been snapped in two and the valuable
time piece was gone. He considered the
case a moment and then sudden thought
flashed through his mind So stepping out
he whispered the fact to the porter, and
gained permission to take his dog in for a
minute or two.
Look here, Prince, said he, you
knowing dog, my watch is stolen" and he
showed him the empty pocket and the cut
chain "Do you understand, old fellow
Where sir, is the thief? You find it my
good doggie, and I'll give you famous
treat You understand, do you ?"
Prince wagged his tail, and gave his
master a very knowing and cute look, and
then the two stole quickly into the place.
Quickly the dumb detective glided around
among the people, smelling away at this
one S coat and that ones chain, until at last
he set his teeth firmly into the coat-skirt Of
a genteel-looking man, and could not be
shaken off,
The yeung man quickly made known the
case to the bystanders, who had gathered
around him, and had the thief's pockets
duly searched. Six other watches were
found on him which he had gathered up in
the course Of the morning, and which the
frightened owners we're glad to get their
hands on.
Prince selected out his masters property
in twinkle, as that was all he cared for,
and gave it to him joyfully. Itwould have
taken a very keen policeman to do the work
so neatly and so quickly, and all agreed that
he merited as good dinner as = dog could
have. A good beef bone and a bowl oi
milk, however, abundantly satisfied all his
wants, and then he was just as ready to dc
the sanae favor oyer again.

now LONG WE MIGHT LIVE.

Professor Faraday adopts Floursh's ply
siological theory that the natural age of a
man is one hundred years The duration
of the life he believes to be measured by the
time of growth. When once the bones and
eiphysis arc united the body grows no more
and at twenty years, this union is effected
in man. In the camel it takes place at
eight; in the horse at five; in the rabbit at
one. The natural termination Of life is five
removes from these several points. Man
being twenty years in growing, lives FIVE
times twenty years, that is, one hundred;
the camel is eight years in growing, and
lives Eve times eight years, that Is to say
forty years; the horse is five years in grow
ing, and he lives twenty-five years; and so
with other animals The man who does
not die of sickness lives everywhere from
eighty to one hundred years. Providence
has given to man century of life, but he
does not attain to it because he inherits dis
ease, eats unwholesome food, gives license
to passions, and permits vexations to disturb
his healthy equipoise. He does not die; he
kills himself.
The learned professor also divides life into
equal halves, growth and decline, and halves
into infancy, youth, viriliy, and age. In
fancy extends to the twentieth year; you'll
to the fftieth, because it is during thi
period the tissues become irmi virility from
fifty to seventy-fvc, during which the organ
ism remains complete, and at seventy-hv
old age commences, to last longer or shor
ter time, as the dimunition Of reserved for
| ces IS hastened or retarded.

TIE AMERICAN FACE.

Dr. Bellows writes the Literal Christian,
from Florence, as follows:
"Mr. Powers, the sculptor, says the
American face is distinguished from the
English by the little distance between the
brows and ;he eyes, the openness of the nos.
trils, and the thinness of the yisage IL is
still more marked, | think, by a mongrel
quality, in which all nationaities contribute
their portion. The greatest hope of Amer
lea is its mixed breed of humanity, and what
now makes the irreeularity of the American
face is predestined to make the versatility
and universality Of the American character.
Already, spite of continental seclusion,
America is the most cosmopolitan country
on the globe Provincial or local as man
ners or habits may be, idea, aud sympathie,
in America are worldwide, And there j.
nowhere city in which so many people
nave the complete world under their eyes
and in their hearts and served up in the
morning press with their breakfast, as New
York ~

MIXED MOTIVES.

The power of mans conduct depend.
upon the number Of motives which it has to
push it. When train Of cars is stuck in
the snow, they first put one engine behind,
and it pushes, and butts, and butts and
pushes, and the train creeps slowly along a
little way, and stops. They send for another
engine, and put that behind and with the
two they draw back to gain some impetus,
aud then plunge into the drift, and the train
stops again They send for the third engine
and put that behind; and now there are
three great motive forces, and they plunge
in, and up springs the snow on every side,
and the train moves as though it were going
to overcome the obstruction; but It's speed
decreases at every revolution of the wheels,
and it soon stops They want one more en-
CINE; and now, with the four, they will
shove the train through with power that
is irresistible
Well, here is line of conduct; and the
more motives you put against it, the more
forcble it will be. A mans action will be
powerful in proportion to the number Of
faculties that are inspired to urge him for
ward. Mixed motives, therefore, are de-
sirable.-You say, Il performed a good
deed to day, but it does not seem to have
proceeded from single motive; | think
can distinctly trace, as having had to do
with that deed, six different motives "
Which was the leading one "Well, |
think benevolence was the strongest" Then
what was next ? ''Nel, 1 think conscience
was the next. And what was there then
well, to speak the truth, | think pride,
and some sense of what was becoming and
proper, came next. And what then
"Well, | am sure that fell into the weak
ness of thinking that people would know it.
and praise me; and | think that adulterated
my other motives. Adulterated them
It did not do any such thing. 1t co opera
ted with them. If benevolence was first
uhat was nt motive, ana then you nigh
'put as many behind it as you pleased. Onl,
let that motive which leads all the rest, ant
gives direction to them, be high and divine
and then behind it put every motive yor
can, and you will not adulterato it. Ever.
one you add is an adjuvant, un Ter sucl
circumstances. But if it is self hness tha
| leads, then you may well suspect all you
motives; for with such leadrr, they will al
be serving wrong end; but it will be be
cause the leading one is not right. Let th
mind go right end first, and then the NOR
motives you have, the better. And tn
great trouble with persons in life is not tha
they have mixed motives, but they hav
too few motives; for such is the nature o
things that, in proportion as you so towar'
things low and gross, the fewer motives ca
be brought to bear on conduct; while i
proportion as you 20 toward that which
high aud pure, the more motives can b
made to cooperate in that direction. 1t
not then mixed motives that ought to trou

Till earth returns to earth
So live, that men shall mark the time
