ANIMAL INSTINCT instinct of ami
mails is sometimes really surprising. There
was once in possession of farmer in Clon-
NAL goose that, by accident was left with
out mate or offspring, male or female. Now
it CHANGED that the good wife had number
of ducks eggs under hen, which In time
were incubated, and Of course the ducklings
took to water, seeing which, the motherly
old hen was in sad pucker-her maternity
urging her to follow the brood, and her sci
fishness to remain on dry land. In the
meantime, up sailed the goose with clack
and clatter; which interpreted, meant, Let
me take care of them. She swan up and
down with the youngsters, and when they
uesried of their Aquatic excursion. recon-
mitted them to the guardianship of the
hen In the morning, down came the
ducks, there was the goose, and the hen
was in great Illustration. On this occasion
we don't know if the goose invited the hen
to friendly sail, but it is fact. being near
the shore the hen jumped upon her back,
and In company up and down conveying the
feathered fiotllla. Day after day the hen. on
board the goose. might be in perfect
content and good humor. Numbers of
people came to witness this extraordinary
occurrence, which happened day after day
until the Juvenile eIcur.ionists arrived at
age of discretion, and, fully posted in mar
infine matters, no longer needed the services
of goose, and her pilots, instructors" etc.

Neuralgia.

The certain cure of neuralgia is found in
| judici Gus eating and exercise and not only
so, permanent cure cannot be effected in
any other way, while these are alway. eff
cient. In neuralgia the blood is always too
thick. impure, and in excess; and a. diet
and exercise combine to remedy these con-
ditions, some rules in relation to them are
desirable. These viii be adapted to seden-
tary persons, who live indoor generally, as
women, students, book keepers and the ike.
1t is rather better to eat thrice a day,
morning, noon and night; that is, as soon
| after sunrise as practicable for breakfast :;
dinner about | clock supper before sun
down. Eat nothing whatever between meals.
Breakfast, a single cup of coffee or tea.
some cold bread or butter, with a dish of
berries or stewed fruit in summer time, and
nothing else in winter, meat, fish or poul-
try, or, in their stead, couple of soft boiled
eggs.
Dinner, the same as breakfast, adding on
ly vegetables and some fruit, raw or steued.
as dessert, and nothing else. A different
kind of vegetable may be taken every other
day for variety; the kind of meat may be
changed at each meal.
Supper should be made of cold bread and
butter, and cup of warm drink of some
kind. and nothing else.
The object in the specification above made
is to discourage variety at meals, because it
is this which tempts all to eat too much.
Persons at times have felt at the table that
they had eaten enough. but on seeing very
inviting dish unexpectedly brought in,
good neal has been eaten of this last variety.
The general and hurtful error is that too
great variety is spread on our tables, not
only occasioning trouble of preparation and
great loss, but also positive injury in the
temptation of the appetite. The reader
may try it upon himself ON any two days. A
dinner of one kind of vegetables, one kind
of meat and bread at dinner the next day,
let great variety be presented he will eat
double the amount at this repast, with this
remarkable difference an hour after the
first meal, he viii be entirely comfortable.
will feel as if he had eaten quite enough; an
hour after the latter, there will be decided
discomfort, a fuiness, a feeling as if some
kind of relief were desirable, aud in too
many cases resort to the decanter, with the
vain hope of ri1dance in some say. 1t
cannot be denied that the first steps toward
intemperate habits have been taken in using
liquors to remove the unpleasant con.equen-
ees of evereating. A very great aid toward
overcoming habit of too hearty eating will
be found in sitting down to a table with only
three varieties of food.

since colored lad entered drug store in

full of fish hooks and angle worms and
demanded Setter powder" as he had
been advised that it would give relief. Ac-
cordingly the Seidlitz powders were dissolv-

before him. with instructions to pour one
into the other and drink while effervescing.
But the sable youth did nothing of the sort.
Instead of following the directions. he
hastily drank off the contents of one glass
and Immediately swallowed the other. The
effect may be imagined, but not described.
The efferrescence which should have taken
place in the glass before it was drank, took
place in the besildered darkey's stomach,
sending forth streams of the frothy liquid
from his mouth, nose, eyes and ears. As
soon as the poor fellow could recover breath
he cried out in frightened tones: my

TIE DESERTED HOMESTEAD.

The garden gate, with rusty hinge,
Swings creaking in the idle wind
and weeds CHOKE up the graveled walk
That erst with pink and box we're lined
ana thi-tles flourish everywhere,
Ana Eriers thrive where roses blew,
nj Opiate poppies 10 axe the air
Seem drousy where the lilies grew
The porch where loving hands had trained
tn. prairie bush, whose blossoms red
Freighted the air with pleasant scents.
Is fallen, and the bush is dsAd
Wide ya~n the windows and the doors,
Ths chimney totters Oh the roof.
The moss and ivy softly now
Weave over all warp and woof.
Untouched the fruitful trees decay,
Uncared for dies the climbing vine
No hand to pluck the mellow fruit
No hand to press the purple vine
and where the household inmates came
To quaff the water clear and cool,
Nau sht row remains Of bubbling springs
save Shiny stones and brackish pool.
Here, undisturbei. the swallows come,
and robins, with their ruddy breasts;
And here the droning wasp and bee
With cunning skill eontrive:.their nests.
The spider trails lis fragile web
Athuart the heavy oaken beams;
And constantly the death watch ticks
Within the wainscot's rusty seams.
snd those whose voices echoed here,
Whose feet had pressed the garden walk
Wbe shall of their long absence tell
Or who their uandsrings can mark
Their voices may be hushed for aye,
And fee; that respite never knew
From weary waIks il life's long day,
May have heavens gates passed through.

Rapidity of Thought in Dreaming.

A very remarkable circumstance, and an
important point Of analogy is, says DIR. Fable.
Winaow, to be found in the extreme rapid
ity with which the mental operations are
performed, or rather with which the material
changes on which his ideas depend, are ex-
cited il the hemispherical ganglia 1t would
appear as if a whole series of acts, that
would really occupy long lapse of time,
pass ideally through the mind in one in
| stant. We have in dreams no perception Of
the lapse OF time-a strange property of
mind; for if such be also its property when
entered into the eternal disembodied state,
time will appear to US eternity. The rela-
tons Of space as well as of time are also an
initiated, SO that while almost an eternity
is compressed into moment, infinite space
is traversed more swiftly than by real tho t.
There are numerous illustrations of thi.
principle on record. A gentleman dreamed
that he had enlisted as soldier, Joined his
regiment, deserted, was apprehended, car
ried back, tried, condemned to be shot, and
at last led out for execution. After the
usual preparations, gun was fired he a

a Cane NAV Incident.

Not many days ago there was a rather
loud woman down here, says the Cape
May FaUe. rich and vulgar. suooping
around with her daughter and putting on
more airs than you could grind out of hand
organ! One man, who was disgusted at
the aristocratic pretensions of the couple,
thought he would have little fun at their
expense. So one day he pointed out good
looking fellow who wa. passing the hotel,
and mentioned to the woman, in a sort of
careless. off hand way, that the good looking
fellow wa. lord, who had just arrived in
the country, and was stopping for awhile at
Cape May. This woman, you understand,
wanted an introduction, so that she could
set her daughter at work to rope in thi.
scion of noble house. The stranger was
presented the next evening in the parlor,
and this designing being of a mamma began
to gush right over him. She kept on exclaim-
ing how much she had always admired the
English nobility, and how much she longed
to see them in their own beautiful homes
and then she asked this man if he did no.
sometimes long for his island home, and
hate the society of the vulgar Americans,
and sigh for his high born companionsl At
last the man turned around and said she
must have made mistake he didn't care
red cent for aristocracy he had no island
home. for he came from Germany; and he
had no high born companions. unless some
OF his friends were born in a garret. So
this woman rose right up and pranced out
to the fellow who introduced her to the aris-
tocrat, and she says:
See here | thought you said that man
was lord?''
SO he is,'' was the reply; 'he is the
land lord of the Dutch hotel round the cor
ner there Nice man, isn't he -
Perhaps that woman won't souse that
man under, and hold him there, the next
time she catches him bathing in the surf
