HIental Taxation Cause of Dyspepsia.

Mental anxiety and pecuniary embar-
rassments, such as loss of property by
fire, by failure in business, or by bad
debts, and also domestic troubles, dis
appointed affections, and the loss or
the treachery of friends, will frequently
cause dyspepsia; too close, and too
active intellectual labor is also fire.
quent cause. Editors, authors, and
literary persons often engender dyspep-
sia In this way.
Much brain labor requires much
blood at the brain, and an ever-working
intellect uses up so much of both blood
and nervous force that there is not
enough remaining to do the work of di-
gestion-
On the other hand, deranged digestion
is sometimes produced by two little eex-
ercise of the brain. Persons are tre-
quently met with who have been in act
i've business life, and, having accumu-

have retired from business. Now, al
though the brains and bodies retire from
active life, yet the poor stomachs very
often have their tasks increased.
If a man has been for long time ac-
customed to eatingheartily and working
hard, either with body or brain, he had
better not relax his working habits
without at the same time having cor
responding relaxation in his habits of
eating.
"He who will not work neither shall

but a law of the human constitution,

to render either property or life of but

The Lady of LYONS.

The credit of the authorship of this
play has recently been denied to Bull
wer. 1t is stated that the Minerva, a
literary journal published in New York
about fifty years ago, and edited by
James G. Brooks, contained a tale
written by Mrs Helen Maria Williams,
entitled "Perorou, or the Bellows
mender of Lyons" This tale coming
to the notice of Bulwer was dramatized
by him, the prominent points, charac-
ters and scenes being retained. Bull
wer, however, in the first
printed edition of the play adj
mits his obligation to. s'The Bellows
mender of Lyons" but does not mention
the name of the authoress. Helen
Maria Williams was an English author
ess, who was born in the north of Eng
land In 1852, and who died in Paris In
1927. She went to London at the age
of Is, and during the ensuing ten years
published several tales and poems,
which excited great attention. In 1870
she settled In Paris. and wrote two vol
umes of letters ON the state of France.
These letters defended the Girondists,
and on their downfall she was for some
time imprisoned, and her life was serl-
ously In danger. She subsequently
wrote books of travels, historical mar
ratives, and novels and tales. Bulwer
wrote sThe Lady of Lyons" about the
year 1886.

THE THREE LITTLE CHAIRS.

They sat by the bright wood nre,
The gray-haired dame and aged sire,
Dreaming Of days gone by;
The tear-drops fen ON each wrinkled cheek.
They both had thoughts they could not speak,
And each heart uttered a sigh
For their sad and fearful eyes deserted
Three little chairs placed side by side
Against the sitting-room wan;
Old-fashi0ned enough as there they stool,
Their seats of flag and their frames Of wood,
With their backs straight and tan
Then the sire shook his silvery head,
And with trembling voice he gently said:
Mother, these empty chairsi
They bring US such sad, sad thoughts tonight,
Wen put them forever out Of sight,
In the small dark room up stairs.n
But she answered: Father, no, not yet,
For look at them, and 1 forget
That the children are away:
The boys come back, and our Mary, too,
With her apron on, of checkered blue
And SIT here every day.
"Johnny stil whites a ships tan masts,
And Willie his leaden bullet casts,
While Mary her patchwork sews;
AT evening the three childish prayers
Go up to God from those little chairs,
So softly that no one knows.
"Johnny comes back from the biIlov deep,
Willie wakes from the battlefield sleep,
To say goodnight to me;
Mary's a wife and mother no more,
But a tired child whose playtime is DER,
And comes 10 rest at my knee
$50 let them stand there, though empty nov,
And every time when alone we bow
At the Fathers throne to pray,
Wen ask to meet the children above,
In our Saviour's home of rest and love,
Where no child goeth away"
