NERVOUS HEADACHE, LIVER COMPLAINT, &C.
&c. The Brain being the most delicate and sensi-
affected by all our bodily ailments. headache is
often the first symptom of serious disease. If the
nervous system is affected, there is always trouble
at its source in the pericranum And it may be
here remarked that as the nervous fibre peryades
the entire frame, no part of the physical structure
can be affected without the nerves suffering sympa
thetically. Liver complaint of every type affects
the BRAIN Sometimes the effect is stupor, confu-
sion ofideas, hypochondrass; sometimes persistent
or periodical headache. In any case, the best rem
edy that can be taken is PLANTATION BITTERs.
In headache proceeding from indigestion or bilious
ness, or both, the stomachc and ambitious

is purely nervous-in other words, if it has origna-

WE once heard a story told Of two
men who started together one bright
morning for whole days journey.
They soon become separated. The
one reached his destination before the
sun had sunk behind the Western

table at the inn. His only trouble
was concern for his laggard compan
ion. He thought surely some evil
must have befallen him.
Long after dark his fellow-traveller
arrived. When asked the cause oi
his delay, he replied: ~ was obliged
to stop at every other house to whip
off the unmannerly dogs that barked
at me. Didn't they bark at you
also?n "Yes," replied the other,

England.

LONDON, May 1872 p. M.--The
Times of this morning denounces the
Erie railway ring of America as
worse than TIE Greek brigandage, as
1t entirely stops the outflow of Brit
ish capital to the United States. The
Times considers the whole Democrat
ic party of the United States reponsi-
bic for the acts OF New York State.
The Times this morning Is remark
ably bitter in an editorial on alleged
mismanagement of American civil
affairs, and asserts that the standard
of commercial morality Is lower in
the city of New York than any where
else i'm the world. That which here
In England would be deemed crimes,
is there regarded as muster pieces OF
financiering. It cautions the Ameri-
can people to purge themselves of
this reproach, though it will be task
equal in difficulty to the abolition of
slavery.

OXYGEN, Oxygen is a colorless
and transparent gas; without odor
or taste little heavier than air, its
specific gravity being l.1056.
A lighted taper lowered into a jar
of oxygen burns with surprising bril-
liancy. A glowing spark upon the
gen instantly and with slight ex-
plosion, kindles 1t into a vivid flame.
Experiments like these illustrate the
fact that bodies which burn in air,
will burn with greater vigor In oxy-
gen.
Again, let an iron wire or a steel
watch spring be tipped with bit OF
wood. Set fire to the wood and at
once plunge II into jar of oxygen I;
quickly the metal takes fire and
burns-the iron with q steady and
beautiful light, or the steel with a
multitude of star like sparks. Ex-
periments such as this illustrate the
fact that substances which do not

pidity In oxygen.

How Much 10 Eat.

The answer to the question how
much to eat, depends 80 largely on
the circumstances of age, sex, season,
latitude, and employment, that II
would be impracticable to name any
amount as applicable to the majority
OF any class of persons In fact, 1t Is
one of those questions which each
man should aim to answer for him
self, that answer being founded on his
own close observation and sound
Judgment. The following rules, how
ever, will perhaps meet all cases as to
general habits:
l. Eat at regular specified times,
and at no Others.
2. Hard workers, especially those
who are most of the time In the open
air, should eat as much as they want
at breakfast and dinner.
3. Those who are indoors most OF
the time, as women, literary men, and
students, should never eat full as
much as they want. This would be
a safe rule for all sick persons alsO.--

GRATITUDE.

Few persons know what powerful
agent of happiness lively sense of
gratitude is. 1t Is one of the most
profitable of all Investments, for 1t
Yields its dividends of peace and
contentment not only annually and
semi-annually, but daily and hourly.
We are so constituted that we must
jadge of things by comparison. We
cali one object large because it is
larger than another; we call one man
rich because he has larger possessions
than another. If we have an active
gratitude in our bosoms, or, If we
will cultivate it, we may find con-
slant cause for rejoicing In contrast
ing our own fortunes with the unfor-
tunate. We encounter, almost eve
ry day, a misery that we are stran-
gers to. We meet the halt, the
lame, the blind, the sick and the be-
reaved, at every turn of life's devious
pathway. 1t is impossible to envy
the lot of these; we ought to pity
them, and be ready to relieve their
destitution or solace their sorrow. In
doing this we shall discover how
much hunsuspected wretchedness there
Is in the world, and experience feel
ing of gratitude at the privileges of
our better lot, There are Others who
are better off than we are, who have
more wealth, more friends, and more
fayors. These are above us. But 1t
Is not their lot we should contem-
plate. Let us look down on the low
! ty beneath us, and not up, on the
lofty above us, and give our souls to
gratitude instead of envy. Ambition
Is a noble and proper passion, when
legitimately directed, but that ambl-
tion that seeks to scale one hight af-
ter another, that Is ever looking up
ward to new realms of eminence and
power, and that goes on adding con-
quest to conquest, without stopping
to be grateful for its successes, is an
insatiate covetousness which usually,
In the end, encounters n crushing
disappointment sent as a punishment
for Its thankless seltlshness. To as
cend safely and securely, one must
accustom himself To look back, not
with naughty, but with grateful feel
Iings upon the conquered stages be-
meath him, and remember that every
less successful toiler on the rugged
path of life is proof of heavens

stranger To gratitude can he really

QUARRELING. If anything in the
world will make man feel badly,
except pinching his fingers in the
crack of door, it is unquestionably
quarrel. No man ever fails to
think less of himself after 1t than be-
fore. 1t degrades him In the eyes of
Others, and what Is worse, blunts his
sensibilities on the one hand, and in
creases the power of passionate irri-
liability on the other. The truth Is,
the more peacefully and quietly we
get on, the better for our neighbors.
In nine cases out of ten, the better
course is, if man cheats you, cease
to deal with him; II he Is abusive,
quit his company, and II he ISLANDERS
you, take care to live so that nobody
will believe him. No matter who he
is, or how he misuses you, the wisest
way Is to let him alone; for there Is
nothing better than this cool, calm,
and quiet way of dealing with the
wrongs we meet with.

Department Of Young People.

Young men and boys rarely realize,
we fear, how much their success In
life depends upon their present de-
pertinent. Their conduct is more
generally observed than they are
ready to believe, and frequently dis
cussions take place among business
and influential men In regard to their
fitness for places for which young
men are wanted, of which they never
know.
We were made to think Of this the
other day, on hearing one of our best
business men, who will have no one
about him who Is not above suspic-
ion, point out a half dozen young
men i'm Reading whom he would
cheerfully and confidently recon-
mend for any position, however re-
sponsible, that any young man could
fill. They are young men whose gen.
eral conduct recommends them
They are never seen rOwdying on the
streets they are never seen hanging
about restaurants they are never
seen making themselves conspicuous
by boisterous behavior; they are
never seen "takin a state" with a
cigar In his mouth and hat cock cd to
one side of his head; they are never
heard shocking the sensibilities of de-
cent people by profane or indecent
language; In short they have none OF
the characteristics of the self indulg.
ing loafer or rowdy. They are the
pride Of their parents and honor ia
the community in which they live,
and destined to be the leadining men
of the country.
All young men should be ambitious
to have such regulations so that when
positions of trust are to be filled,
their friends can, with confidence, re-
commend them.
