DEATH FROM EXcEssIvE HAPPINESs.-The
st. Joseph (Missouri) Herald of February
23d has the account cf late and truthful in
cident:
Very many who have frequented the
Courthouse during the present session ct the
Circuit Court must observed an elderly, quiet,
gentlemanly person about the place, exhibit
ing the model of newly patented hay press,
the State rights of which he was engaged in
selling. He did not make himself obnoxious
BY any offensive opportunities, but when a
party exhibited any interest in his machine
he took especial pains to show its operations,
and by pleasant demeanor made number
of sales. Since Friday last he had nos been
seen at the Courthouse, though nothing, of
course, was thought strange of it. About 10
o'clock yesterday morning. however, those
who remembered the man were started by a
rumor that he was dead.
The sipgularity in this case is that the man
died Of excitement induced by his unexpected
success in his vocation-the sale of rights of
his hay press-he having disposed of the
States of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska.
for which he had secured title of $50 acres of
land IN Nebraska, 100 acres of land in Kan
sas, and TWO valuable let's in Chicago. This
was tue SucceSSlul Closing up ul Wna6 WAS,
perhaps, laid out as a years work in the
course of three weeks; the final papers set
ting up the whole business were to have been
signed and delivered yesterday morning.
But on Sunday was taken sick. and
all that day and through the night suffered
from brain fever, which terminated in his
death at the hour named. 1t is fairly pre-
sumed the excitement consequently upon his
success in business induced his sickness, as
he was in perfect health on Saturday. and i,
being man of the most scrupulous temper
ance habits. congestion could not have ensued
from use of Intoxicating drinks. The
Judgment of all acquainted with the facts is
that the man died from the effects of extreme
satisfaction.

THE NEW MAr.aDY.
Peculiar Characterissic. OF she Relap.iwg
Fever.

While the Board of Health is bothering its
brains with discussion rs to how smallpox
was brought to this city, and ms to whether
quarantine is to be charged with the respon-
sihility of sending il here, q strange disease
is gaining foothold among the lower classes
of our population.
The disease is known as relapsing fever.
1t has hitherto been unknown in this coun-
try. and must have been imported to this
city by emigrants arriving from Landon, or
Liverpool, or some German port. 1t is said
to be 4 portable disease. aad one which, with
an adequate supply OF material to feed upon,
! spreads with remarkable facility. The first
case occurred early in December, since which
time nearly twenty cases have come to the
notice of the medical fraternity, and been
treated with success. Several Of the patients
were taken to Bellevue Hospital, and while
there the disease was communicated to the
Younger physicians in attendance. ..
Relapsing fever, though up to the present
time unknown in the United States. has fire.
que1tly ragged in epidemic form in Germany,
Russia and the Islands. Like typhus. it is
famine fever, occurring in times of great dis
tress, and attacking, in the first place. the
lower classes of communities. 1t ordinarily
begins with a severe chill, which is followed
by the usual phenomena fever. These phe-
nomena continue to increase until after three,
or four. or sometimes six days, at the expira-
tion of which copious perspirations terminate
the attack. The patient then remains free of
fever, though often feeble and ailing, till
about the fourteenth day, when a second
chill intervenes, followed by phenomena.
similar to those Of the first attack. Some
times second relapse occurs about the twen-
ty frs. day, and cases are recorded in which
three and even four relapses have been OBJ
served Though the symptoms, while the
fever is on. are violent, and the temperature
high, the disease is attended with compare.
lively little danger-the mortality commonly
not exceedingly four or Ave per cent.
Reiapsing fever spreads by centagion, like
other pestilences, and when it becomes epi.
dcmic. the cases are not confined to the poor
and needy. In Europe it has been known 10
extend to the upper classes of society. num-
bering its victims by thousands. Physicians,
well informed on the current medical litera-
ture of the day, notified, several months since.
that the disease had made its appearance in
London, and that numerous cases bad been
there received into the hospitals. 1t is be-
lieved that it was brought to New York from
that city. reaching here, of course, through
quarantine.

A New WAY OF STEALING CoAT.-At the
freman's bail. a few nights since, Central
Avenue merchant tailor was approached by a
man who said ''Want tn dance?'
lie answered that be did, and the man said:
..Well. here's my wife wants to dance ;
I amt much of u dancer, and | want part
mar for her."
The partner that was 70 he, said: swell,
let me put nv overcoat away"
"Oh. no." said the husband. ''I'll take
care Of it for you, at the same time introduc-
ing his "wife" to the merchant tailor.
So the merchant tailor of Central avenue
whirlpd gai.y away in the dance with 'that
wife," while the husband gaily slid off with
the nice overcoat and never has been seen

LUXURY OF EASY DREssEs. The following,
from L2us Of fL!fe, is especially commended
to the careful perusal of ladies who indulge in
tight lacing:
Very few ladies know how to appreciate an
easy, healthfCl dress. They think their
dresses are loose, when a man or boy ,ut in
to one as tight would gasp for breath. and
feel incapable of putting forth any effort to
break the bands. Ladies are so accustomed
to the tight fits of dressmakers that they
"fall all 10 pieces" when relieved of them
They associate the loose dress with the bed or
lounge. To be up, they must be stayed up,
and to recommend comfortable dress to them
is not TO meet conscious want of theirs.
1t is great pity. nune the less. Ii thev
could once know what a luxury tits to breathe
deep and full ut each respiration, to feel the
refreshment which the system takes in by
having the blood enlivened and sent bound
ing through the arteries and veins, to have
the aids to digestion which such process gives,
to have their own strong, elastic muscles
keep every organ in place and themselves
erect; If they could for while know this
blessed luxury. and then be sent back into
the old, still straight-lackets, they would
tune and fret and rave in very desperation if
they could not get rid of them.
AS 1t Is, they prefer to languish and suffer
dreadfuiiy, and die young, and leave all of
their friends and their husbands, and their
little children, and | do not see any other
way but to let them be sick and die till they
are satisfied. If only the sinner was the
suferer 1T would not be worth while to
make great ado about it. but the blighting
OF future innocent lives which must follow
renders the false habits of our women In the
highest degree criminal.

Love THE OLD.
BIT L. VIRGINIA SMITH.

/ love the old-to lean beside
The antique easy chair.
Aud pass my fingers softly o'er
A wreath OF silyered hair
To press my glowing lip upon
The farrowei brow, and gaze
Within the sunken eve. where dwells
The light of other days
To fold the pale and feeble hand
Tha, on my youthful head
Has lain so tenderly, the while
The evening prayer was said;
To nessie down clos" 10 the heart,
And marvel how il held
Such tones Of legendary lore,
The chronicles of Ed.
Oh youth. thou hast so much Of joy.
So much Of life and lore,
So many hcpes-age has but one,
The hope of bliss above.
To turn awhile from these away
To cheer the old. and bless
The wasted heart-springs with stream
0fgushing tenderness.
Thou treadest now path of bloom,
And thine exulting soul
Springs proudly on. as though il Knocked
AT Times unfelt control:
But they have marched weary way.
Upon a thorny road;
Then soothe the toil-woru spirits, ere
They pass away to God.
Yes. love the aged-bow before
The venerable form,
So soon to seek beyond the sky
A shelter from the storm.
Ay. love them, let thy silent heart
With reverence untold.
As pilgrims very near To Heaven
Regard and love the old.

INDIFFERENCE OF Az ILLINOIS BELtE.-Tl

INDIFFERENCE OF Az ILLINOIS BELLE.-The
Galena Gazette says:
young lady in the south part of this
county engaged herself to three different
lovers. The young men, on learning the SIT
uation Of affairs. had fierce quarrel about
it, which was kept up for several months.
Finally concluding that no good could result
from continuing the warfare, all three agreed
to meet the girl and request her to take her
choice. At the appointed time the meeting
was held, when the girl quietly informed
them that it was quarrel of their own in
which she was not particularly interested.
and that they must settle i, among themselves.
Whereupon they retired and agreed to settle
the difficulty by drawing lots. which was
done, and the winner married the girl last
week. The parties are respectfully connect
ed, and. by request Of one of them, We sup
press the names The bride declares that
she got the one that was her choice from the
first.

A Few MAxIMs FOR YoUNG GIRLs.-Never
make your appearance in the morning with
out having first bathed. ic only with sponge
and quart Of water. brushed and arranged
your hair, dressed yourself neatly and COM
pletely.
Keep your clothing. especially yonr under
clothing. in perfect order. Never let pins do
duty ms buttons, or strings take place of prop
er bands,
Examine every garment when it comes
from the wash, and, if necessary, mend it
with neatness and precision. Do not sow up
the holes in your stockings. as VIC nave seen
some careless, untdy girls do, but take in
broad margin around the hole, be 1t large or
small, with fine darning needle and darn
ing cotton. and cover the fracture with an
interlaced stitch so close Gs to be as strong
as the body of the stocking, and fine enough
to he ornamental.
Stockings mended in this way need dnrning
but very few times in the course of their
existence.
Never carry coarse embroidered or laced
handkereh:efs. Fine plain ones are much
more lady-like.
Avoid open-worked stockings and verv fan
CIV slippers. Fine plain white hose and black
kid slippers. with only strap or rosette in
front, are more becoming.
Train yourself to useful oceupction. Re-
member it is wicked to waste time, and moth
ing gives such an impression of vanity and
absolute Stiffness as habit of idling and
never having anything to do
If You are in your fathers house take
some department. of household labor upon
yourself, and a part of the sewing, and make
it your business to attend to it. Do not let
call from this idle girl. or a visit from that,
or an invitation from the other, interfere with
the performance of your duty.
Let your pleasure come in as recreation
NOT as tie business of your life.
If you can. cultivate'some at by which you
can gain an INDEPENDENT livelihood. Do it
whether there is necessity for it or not. DO
it quietly if you will. hut do it. There is no
telling when or under what circumstances
you may need it.-Demorest.

TESTING A MORMON GIRL.-The San Ber-
nardino Guardian tells the following story:
One of our worthy citizens having mar
ried young, blooming. buxom girl for bis
second helpmate she being withal strongly
imhued in the faith of the Latter Day Saints
must needs be very jealous in attempting
the conversion of her husband to her war Of
thinking, allowing no opportunity to pass
without expostulating on the danger in re-
naming outside the fold. until the good man
became wearied with the pious rasping. An
idea came to his relief. hv which he expected
to silence the battery. He at once put it in
to practice by announcing to his over jealous
wife that he was struck with conviction and
was going to become a Mormon. The Wits
was much rejoiced at the promising fruit H
her planning. "Well," says the husband,
81 am determined to be thorough Saint,
and will require at least six more wives.
This opened the eyes of the proselyting wife,
who could not see the necessity gilmore wives.
She finally came to the conclusion that, with
the LORDS help. they might continue on their
earthly pilgrimage together, and possibly
reach the desired haven of rest without hav-.
ing wives clinging to bis coat tail, Her faith
fell short in fulfilling tie text. "Seven wo-
men shall .cleaye to the skirts of one man,
