orders to their men, instead of giving them

greater variety Of fancy uniforms IN the
Prussian than any other army in Europe
The cavalry have the greatest wealth OF dress!
and a cavalry officer is a sight for gods aud
men. The "cuirassiers, rather useless body

quite full Of splendor. The soldiers wear
metal helmet and breastplate, and gray tunlC
and trowsers, tasteiully embroidered. All
the cavalry is well mounted and the artillery
has abundance Of good, active, and plenty Of
spare horses. The provision and baggage
trains are so organized that they are alway'
close to the marching column. The suffers

4 KISS AT THE pooR.

We were standing In tho doorway
My little wife and J.

Fell down so silently
A small white hand upon my arm.
What could ask Tor more,
Than the kindly glance OF loving eyes,
A. sho kissed me at the door
] know she loves with Nh her heart
The ono who stands hesidoi
And the years have been so Joyous
Since hrst called her bride
Nu'vu had so much Of happiness
Since we met in years before.
But the happicst tlmo ufall was
When she Kissed me at the door.
Who cares for wealth of land or gold,
For mmo, or matchlcss power
10 docs not give tho happiness
OF just ono little hour,
With one who loves mo o. hor life
She says she loves me more
And thought She did this morning,
When sho kwcd me nt The door.
Attimes DO sooms that an the world,
With all lta wealth OF GOLD,
T. very small and poor indeed
Compared with what hold
And when The clouds hang grim and dark,
only think the more
OF one who waltz the coming step
To kiss mc at the door.
n .ho lives iill age shall scatter
The frost upon her head,
know she'll i0ve me just the same
AZ the morning We we're wvd
But II the angels call her
And she goes 90 heaven before,
/ shall know her when ] meet her,
For she'll kiss me at the door.

Mental Taxation a Cause or Dys-
pepsia.

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, disappointed afec-
tons, and the loss, or the treachery, of
friends, will frequently cause dyspepsia /;
too close, and too active intellectual labor
is also a frequent cause. Editors, authors,
and literary persons often engender dys-
pepsia in this way. es.rs
Much brain labor requires much blood
at the brain, and am ever-working intollect
uses up so much of both blood and nervous
force that there is not enough remaining
to do the work of digestion.
, 4 On the other hand, deranged digestion
Is sometimes produced by too little exer-
ciseiof the brain Persons are frequently
met with who have been in active bust
ness life, and, having accumulated enough
to satisfy their ambition, have retired from
business. Now although the brains and
bodies retire from active life, yet the poor
stomachs very often have their tasks in
creased. IF a man has been for a long
time accustomed TO eating heartily and
working hard, either with body or brain,
he had. better not relax his working habits
without at the same time having a cor
responding relaxation in his habits Of eat
ing. He who will not work neither shall
he eat" is not only Bible injunction, but
a law of Che human constitution, the DISC
bedience of which Is often attended with
such derangements of digestion, and
other bodily infirmities, as to render either
property or life of but little Yalue.-Dr

The hand of the shadow went through

Hunger and THIRST.

The want of solid food is indicated by
the sensation of hunger, and that of
liquids by thirst; hunger is referred to the
stomach, thirst to the upper part of the
throat; but the conditions Of these parts
depend on the wants of the system. The
sensation of hunger is probably dependent
on the turgid condition of the capillary
vessels of the stomach, preparatory to the
secretion of the gastric juice, excited by
the sympathetic nerves, and communicated
to the nervous centres; when food is in
troduced, the fluid is secreted, the capil-
laries are relieved of their blood, and the
immediate cause of the nervous depression
is removed. AZ
1t is well known that hunger is tempo
rarily relieved by the introduction into the
stomach of indigestible substances; earth,
clay, and other articles are swallowed by
savages and travellers when hungry, with
the effect of removing, for time, the SEN
sation of hunger; but, as the wants of the
system are not thus satisfied, the local re-
lief soon passes away, and food is demand
ed more imperatively than at first.
The sensation of hunger may not be
noticed, if the mind or body be actively
engaged the student who takes light
supper may labor n great part of the night
without feeling hungry but when he lays
his aching head upon his pillow, to rest,
his empty stomach warns him of the
necessity of food, and refreshing sleep is
out of the question till this is taken.
Thirst, more than hunger, is connected
with the state of the general system; for it
is Immediately relieved by the introduc-
ton of fluid into the stomach, from which
it is very quickly absorbed by the veins in
cholera, where the fluid excretions are un-
naturally increased, the demand for liquids
is extreme, and may be satisfied by injec-
ton into the veins instead of introduction
into the stomach

MISCELLANEOUS.
COOPERATIVE CHRISTMAS
PARTY.

Mr.. HUBERT JoBsoN, B.A-, the Curate,
who was popularity supposed to be up to
anything, from writing an article in the
Quarterly up to Senate languages, to 'do-
ing" an acting charade for the Young
Ladies Journal, was surrounded by faith
ful rosebud garden Of girls" as the
Laureate calls them. Mr.. Jobson, B.A.,
of Trinity, was third wrangler of his year,
and equally high in classics. He might
have gone in for something of value as q
grinder or tutor; but he had set up his
tabernacle in Bloomsbury, and siaved, like
the very opposite of slave, round about
ST. Giles and the courts adjacent. Jobson
was high, but not dry, and not too high
for so earnest man. He preached in his
surplice, and sported his hood and its rab
bit-skin trimming in church, but out of
church wore q c0ssock in his friends
houses, and when about his work was
called priest. What sort of priest the
poor people thought him, it is difficult
to say. Suffice it that he was good to
them, worked harder than any working
man for rather less than the pay, and
withai looked as lively and jovial party as
any one of the "lounging classes" or young
merchants whom he met in the neighbor-
ing squares Mr.. Jobson was popular
with rich and poor; he mixed easily, meant
what he said, and had a sunshiny sort of
goodness which is very attractive. But as
quietly let him remain where he was, do
ing what good he could which, on the
whole, was the best thing Fortune could
do.

A FafthfuT Horse.

MANY years ago there lived on the banks
of the Brandywine, in the State Of Penn
sylvania, an old Quaker gentleman, who
possessed an old and faithful servant. This
servant was a horse his name was Char
ley. Now Charley had trotted before the
family chaise for many long year, to the
village post-off1ce, to the Sabbath day meet
ing, and upon all kinds of erTands. Old
Charley was ever ready to be "hitched
up" Not one trick had he shown, nor had
he once proved unfaithfnl, and grandfather
always rode him upon such errands or
business as he might have about the farm
The river divided the farm, and IL was nee
there was bridge mile and q half from
the house, but there was good ford just
down by the bank which was always used
when the water was not high One day In
the spring time grandfather had 20 60 over
the river, but the freshet had come, the
banks were overhowed, and the ice In great
cakes and fields was coming down with
rush. 80 he mounted old Charley, and set
off by the way of the bridge Arriving
safely on the other side. he spent some time
in the business which had brought him
over, and it was nearly sundown when
he got ready TO go home. He looked
up toward the bridge, said It was
long three miles around. and
that he believed he would try the
IOrQ. " OlQ O1drley C1tu bWihis AO o.iN
as he rode down to the bank OF the
stream, "and it is but a short way over"
Charley looked reluctant, but after con-
siderable urging he entered the stream In
a moment he was striking out bravely for
the opposite shore, but in another moment
a great cake of ice came pounding along,
overwhelming both man and horse. They
both rose, but granfather bad lost his seatj
but as he was swept along by the powerful
current, he caught the dropping branch Of
a large sycamore tree, and was safe from
immediate danger. The nderless horse
pursued his journey toward the house, and
soon reached the shore. Here, appearing
to miss his familiar friend, he looked
around, and, as it seems, discovered his mas
ter clinging to the branch of the tree imme-
diately and without hesitation, he turned
around and SWAN boldly for the tree, and
beneath he stopped and permitted my
grandfather to get on his back, and then,
quite exhausted, started at once
for home. Phe whole scene had been
witnessed by the family, and they got
ready with boats and went TO meet the
nearly exhausted horse; he was caught by
the bride When near the shore and the
old gentleman relieved from bis perllous
position.
