have different opinion. But that the
American woman is weak in the back,
dyspeptic in the stomach, and nervous
to the verge of insanity, is q, fact which
almost every husband and father con-
fesses in the bitterness of his soul,
A leading article in woman paper
this week sets forth this fact more plain
ly than we would dare to do, Most
women are almost invalids, we are
told, and they are counseled to treat
themselves as if they were altogether so.
The ordinary New York woman begins
togo off while her children are babies.
She is advised that rest is what she
wants, Stay in bed, if the cook does
spoil and steal and the children aprons
do get dirty; don't quicken that laboring
heart and set those tired muscles culver
ing by jumping up to make things right.
Let your husband do it, if nurse is out,
Itwon't hurt him. A leading physl-
clan, whose practice is largely among
women" offers his advice: The gentlest
gymnastics for the chest; quiet drive,
or a swing, with an easy chair for seat;
eggs, beef tea, broiled meats and cream;
iron in small doses" With this pre-
scription, the ordinary woman, 1t IS
hoped, may bolster up her poor wreck
of a body while it shufiles its I'M
,hia Way through life. The lead

Calm. COOL and coIIeerea.

We can imagine every reader in a sup
pressed litter II he had been a witness to
the following, which actually occurred
some time since in a neighboring city:
A clergyman, after the usual preliminary
Sunday morning exercises, commenced
his discourse, when gentleman entered
the church and stood respectfully and
attentiVely listening inside the door. No
sooner had the preachers eye lighted on
the newcomer than, dropping the thread
of bic sermon, he said to himi
Come in, my friend, come In; we are
always glad TO see those here late who
cant come early.
Thus addressed, the unknown individ-
ual stepped forward, coOlly took his seat,
and then as coolly asked the preacher,
Would you oblige me with the textG
Certainly, was the reply and the
request having been complied With, the
sermon proceeded.-Hdrper's Drarer.
