In uenee o Te perature on Health.

In the fall the difference between the tempera-
ture Of night and dag is greater than st any other
time Of the year. In the early autumn the quick
silver sometimes rises as high during the day as
in the most fervid summer weather, while at night
it often sinks to an almost wintry point. The hu-
man body not being made Of steel or India rub
Der, sensibly feels these tremendous changes. To
iortify the system against them, a genuine tonic is
required; and the public has long since discovered
that among this description Of medicines Hostel

A Miss-Fail.

Quite an interesting incident occur
red not two miles from thiscity, which,
we believe, has not as yet been chron-
icied. Any inquirer is very easily
satisfied of its truth by the blush that
his question of inquiry will paint up
on the faces of all the parties.
On q certain lot is situated a cosy
double cottage, the eastern part of
which is inhabited by q gay, newly
married couple, while the remaining
rooms are occupied by maiden lady
of middle age, whose weight is 200
pounds avOirdupois. Immediately
over the rooms below is q garnet, with
no floor, and separated from the fer
mer by nothing but a weak ceiling.
Our esteemed maiden lady appears to
have been for some time past the SUBJ
ject Of next door neighbors' gossip.
Now, it so happened that one evening
the aforesaid couple were entertaining
before the cheerful fire two friends,
q gentleman and lady. Our ever
watchful friend, hearing the chatter
and laughter in her neighbors' room,
became suspicious, and determined
that she:mnst. be:the object of this ill.,
timeds mirth. Led by over-anxious
curiosity, she assembled pair of lad
der-steps, and tripping noiselessly
over the wooden joist, she stood list
ening right over the room of the in
nocent prattlers. So far, very good.
But the monotony of one position
uecessitated change; and this, i'm its
turn, produced q slip, and down went
woman, ceiling and all, to the evident
discontinue Of various persons. The
cloud Of dust clearing away, there was
apiece of humanity suspended in mid
air by a robe de mutt, the extremeties
of which were attached to nails above,
while pair of pedal appendages were
dangling about in search OF terra
frma. OF course the shrieks of faint.
ing women and the bewilderment of
astonished men precluded all idea of

The Boston journal of Chemistry
calls attention to the different prepar-
ations sold by druggists for dressing
the hair. Ittells us that all of the
oils and greasy pomades with cup
honiOus names are manufactured from
lard oil and simple lard. Bears
grease is the most filthy of all animal
fats, and il is safe to say the genuine
stuff is but rarely or never sold by
druggists. Caster oil and cologue
spirits make a good and cheap dress
ing. The oil derived from the castor
bean possesses peculiar properties
which admirably adapt it for use on
the hair. The Journal concludes:
A cheap and very good dressing is
made by diss0iying four ounces of
perfectly pure, dense glycerine in
twelve ounces of rose water. ely
cerine evaporates only at high tenn
peratures, and therefore under its in
fiucnces the hair is retained in moist
condition for long time. AS class
the vegetable oils are better for the
hair than animal oils. They do not
become rancid and offensive so rapid
ly; and they are subject to different
and less Objectionable chemical
changes. Olive oil and that derived
from the Cocoanut have been largely
employed, but they. are inferior i'm
every respect to that from the castor
bean. -.
Do not use any oils whatever, is
the best advice. Those men and wo-
men having the finest and glossiest
suit of hair simply use soft water,
washing the head every few days
with pure CASTLE soap. But as we
do not expect every body to subscribe
to this formula. it is well to caution
the general public against the indis-
criminate use of preparations sold
for the hair. -4 .. @

BROTH OF FRAGMENTs.-Whe YOU
dress large dinner, you may make a
good broth or portable SOUP, at very
small cost, by taking care of all the
trimmings and parings of the meat,
game and poultry, you are going to
use; wash them well, and put them i'm
a stew pan, with as much cold water
as will cover them I; set your stew pan
on a hot fire; when it boils, take off
the scum, and set it on again to SIM
mcr gently; put in two carrots, two
turnips, large onion, three blades of
pounded mace, and head of celery :;
some mushroom parings will be an
addition. Let it continue TO simmer

A Chicago Times correspondent
writes from New y ork about funerals ::
"The present innovation is to lay the
body upon couch, dressed in its ac-
customed clothing, with pillow UNI
der the head. The position is usually
that of the right or left side, and the
hands are arranged in some natural
and easy position. If the dead is a
lady, handsome shawl is thrown
over the figure and, if a man, an AT
CHAN or silken quilt serves for a COW
eTing. Flowers are in the room; but
not i'm such Obtrusive abundance as to
make the OdOr OF these beautiful things
haunt you forever afterward. The
funera! is announced, and the friends
and acquaintance arc invited, through
the public prints, to be present and
take leave of the departed. No hearse
and no coffin affront the sight and
chill the blood with those traditional
sentiments which affrighted our child
ish years. AS many days aftcrward
as the condition of the remains will
permit, few of the nearest and dear
est are invited to assist in the sad GER.
emory of burial. Loving hands lift
and lower the casket, and tender ones
strew the Garth softly above it with
flowers, and perhaps some favored
wrappings of tie dead are added to
lie between the dust which usually
falls SO heavily and harshly upon that
other dust that is so dear. No strange
eyes witness this last sacred attention
to the departed, and no memory of a
thOughtless jar or heavy tread comes
back to embitter the remembrance CT
the sorrOwful event."

And the neighbor, besides the tie .


sascomsn0n humanitY with hisGfellow-
beings, may have other relations, which
make his case deserving particular 1t
tention, and vastly important for his
rescue from the effects of intoxicating
indulgence. He may have a family
each member of which is also neiyh.
Dor, and Affected by what takes place
when he and his companions meet in
a convivial mood. His parents may
yet lingcr this side the grave, and
need to be saved from the sorrow OF
teholding their son wrecked upon the
rock of intemperance; the wife may
be in his home, who has already en-
dured what speech cannot describe
children may be around the hearth
stone, who have been made to blush
at what they have witnessed, and who
dread to think of the shame possibly
in reserve. All these, as well as he,
are neighbors of the infatuated mans
acquaintance. And here the applica-
ton of the command, ''Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as myself" comes with
tremendous and unansweiable power.
Who, for his own conduct, would wish
his own parents, wife and children to
suffer shame and sorrow? The mat
ter now comes home. "As thyself."
Ifnothing will be done for the mans
sake, let something be done for his
family's sake. They are neighbors.
Somewhat, at least, as we love our
own, let them be loved. For their
sake, if not for his, let fathers and
husbands and sons when they meet,
be social, converse and be cheerful,
listen to the words of wisdom and
laugh at the witty saying; yet, let it
not be over the drinking cup, whether
it be the sparkling mixture, the ruby
wine, or the maddening spirits,

man in the mass attracts more atten-
ton than as the individual, the be-
holder may see enough to startle him
into anxiety as to the results, awaken
his sympathies at the suffering en-
dured, excite his tears in view of the
degradation reached, prompt the
question as to what can and ought to
be done for his fellow-beings, urge to

the ravages Of the destroyer. II
And the neighbor is an immortal
being. That we are all to live forever
is thought, which is not apt to in
trude upon our, attention amid the
busy scenes of life. Yet, when the
idea of our Immortality does so fasten
itself in the mind rs to make us pom
der its meaning; when we are I'M
pressively reminded, that our fellow
men are to live in the future as long
as ourselves; then we begin to see the
folly of much which is now passing
before us; we realize, that the appe-
titles may receive too much of our care
We ask how we and our companions
will be occupied, when this life no
more bewilders us; we inquire what
we have done in fitting ourselves for
an endless existence; and we, feel,
that it is the part of wisdom to help
our neighbors SO TO live here as to
enjoy their Immortality.
