bly, acts feebly, considerable time after the
function OF respiration is suspended. By its
muscular force arterial blood is driven onwardly
to the head faster than the veins bring it back,
and consequently the mind is plunged, as it were,
into profound sleep; for loss of consciousness
results from sudden appoplexy induced by an
extra accumulation of blood in the delicate tex
ture of the brain.
When the pulsatons of the heart stop, then
the tension on the muscles relax; and, if no ef-
forts at resuscitaton are made, vital heat dimin-
ishes gradually, and the change is an expansion
of compressed gasses in the cavities of the body,
due to the first processes of chemical decomposi-
tion. II the body, however, is recovered imme-

are quiescent, it is possible to re-establsh the
movement of the lungs by artificial inflammation

The trial is not always successful, but so en-
couraging that the prospect demands the utmost
perseverance.
With the revived action of the heart, the mo-
ment the lungs begin to take in oxygen from the
air forced upon them, life begins to return. Sc
it is admitted by physiological philosophers thai
the soul is won bach, if it had gone, in the ac
of restoration; or else it is morally certain it:

may be interrupted, and reimprisoned in tbs

supposed to be foreign to female nature
The fallacy is founded and sustained by wo-
men themselves, who, during the effected pc

this pernicious nonsense is conscientously car

how she gnawed it, how she clawed it, when

Il Nice Girl.

Though that class of girls is by no means
extinct, still they are not SO numerous as
might be wished. There is nothing half SC
sweet in life, half so delightful or so loveable
as a nice girl. Net pretty, or dashing girl
but q nice girl. One of those lovely, likely
good hearted, sweet faced, amiable, neat, natty
domestic creatures, met within the sphere OF
"home," diffusing around the influence of hel
goodness, like the essence of sweet bowers.
A nice girl is not the languishing beauty
drawing on the sofa, and discussing the last
novel or opera, or the giraffeing like creature
sweeping majestically through the drawing
room. The nice girl may not even play or
dance well, and knows nothing about using her
eyes, or coquetting with fan. She never
languishes, she is too active. She is not given
to sensitive novels, she is too busy. In the
opera she is not in front to show her shoulders
she sits quiet and unobstrusive at the back oi
the box, most likely. In fact it's not often we
discover her. Home is her place.
Who rises betimes and superintends the
morning meal? Who makes the toast and tea,
and buttons the boys shirts, and waters the
flowers, and feeds the chickens, and brightens
up the parlor, and sitting room. Is it the Ian
guisher or the giraffe, or the "elegante ?"
Not bit of it; it's the nice young girl.
Her maiden toilet is made in the shortest
possible time, yet how charmingly done and
how elegant her neat dress and collar
Breakfast over down TO the Kitchen to see
about dinner, and all day long she is up and
down, always cheerful and lighthearted. She
never ceases to be active and useful until the
cay is gone, when she will polka with the
boys, or read, or sing old songs and play old
tunes to her father and mother for hours to-
gether. She is perfect treasure, is nice girl
When sickness comes it is she who attends
with unwearying patience in the sick cham.
Der. There is no risk, no fatigue that she will
not undergo; no sacrifice that she will moi
make. She is all love, all devotion. l have
often thought it would be happiness to be i'll tc
be watched by such loving eyes, and tended
by such tair hands.
One of the most strongly marked character
istics of ga nice grip is tidiness and simplicity
of dress. She is invariably associated in my
mind with high frock, plain collar, and the
neatest of neck ribbons, bound with the most
modest little brooch in the world. never
knew "nice girl" who displayed profession
of rings and bracelets, and who wore low dres.
ses or splendid bonnet.
l say again, there is nothing in the world
half so intrinsicaly good as "nice girl."-
She is the sweetest flower in the path Of life
There are others far more stately, far more
gorgeous, but these we merely admire as we &C
by. 1t is where the daisy grows that we like tc
rest.

UNTO THEE.

When all the world seems nothing worth,
And hope and pleasure fade and flee;
When all is doubt upon the earth,
And all is darkness on the sea,
Where should come, but unto Thee,
God who keepest meY
This burning soul, so long repressed,
That longs to pour itself, and weep,
And on some kind, supporting breast
To sigh and sob itself to sleep
Where should bring, but unto Thee,
God who nearest me?
These lettering bonds of toll and care,
Which make the striving spirit faint;
This load that seems too much to bear:
This trembling gush of deep complaint
Where should l bring, but unto Thee,
o God who pitiest me
This heart that mourns its death above,
That aches with hungry emptiness,
That these poor husks of earthly love
Have failed to satisfy or bless
Where should bring, but unto Thee,
o God Who lowest me
Friend above all other friendal
O love beyond all other loves1
Thy peace into life descends
My heart beats calmly as doves,
When all my woes bring to Thee,
0 Godl who healest me.

YHB HISTOHI' or THE PR.ICH.

Tho peach is supposed TO be a native of
Persia, and its botanical name refers to
that origin. 1t is known to have flourished
in both Persia and China at very early
period, and was highly valued in both
countries. 1t has often been found grow
ing spontaneously in Asiatc Turkey. 1t
IN mentioned by Pliny and several other
classical writer's, and many anecdotes are
related of the veneration and even supersti-
ton with which it was regarded by the
Asiatics. There is no doubt but 1t was one
of the "trees of the garden" which God
planted in Eden, and which were to nour-
ish and cheer our first parents in their pris-
tine purity and happiness. 1t is not men
toned in the Bible, but its congener, the
almond, is mention ed several times, and
as early as the days of Jacob. And we
find, when he was preparing his present
for the Governor of Egypt, he commanded
his sons to take "myrrh, nuts and dimOnds'
as gift, showing the esteem in which it
was then held. Again, in the directions
for making the golden candlesticks, among
the ornaments the myrtle and almond are
mentioned as of the chief.
The peach, like civilization itself, trav-
elled from the centre westward into Eu-
rope and we find II mentioned in Roman
his tory in the reign of the Emperor Clau-
dius. 1t was highly valued by the patrl-
CLANS of Rome. and was cultivated by them
as one of their choicest luxuries. II is still

ally, about the middle of the sixteenth CEN
fury, and has been cultivated there MS an
exotic ever since. Her cool, moist climate.
however, prevents It's general cultivation,
and II is only grown on walls or under
glass, and the fruit is seldom seen except
on the tables of the arstocracy.
Even in France, where the climate is
much milder, 1t is not always reared with
out protection, and the fruit has never
gone into general use, but is q delicacy
confined TO the wealthy alone, the cultiva-
ton being confined principally to gardens.
In China it is extensively cultivated in
the gardens of the rich, and has attained
an extraordinary size. But of their man
ner of propagation and culture but little is
known, owing to the exclusive policy
heretofore pursued by that ancient empire.
Now, since its amelioration, among the
many other benefits hoped for, a more acu-
rate and complete knowledge of the peach
is one. The Chinese are great gardeners,
and much affect the curious in horticulture
as i'll other arts, and we may expect to
learn much that is interesting, If not use
full. We know already that they produce
peaches of very large size, and two, at least,
of rare shape,-the Chinese Flat, and
Crooked Peach. With this beginning, we
will not be surprised at still more curious
developments. The curiosity, ingenuity
and enterprise of our country will soon
discover whatever may be known.
1t is to our credit that the United States
is the only country in the world that, Ell
Their in ancient or modern times, has pro-
duced peaches in sufficient quantities to
allow them to become common mark eta
bic commodity; so cheap that the poor as
well as the rich may rcgale themselves and
their families with one of the most whole
some and delicious of fruits at a very small
expense, and with every prospect that they
will still be more abundant and cheap.
