A Harmless Reptile.

Nor only are toads harmless, they are
absolutely and directly useful to US, per
ambulating our fields and gardens at night,
and devouTing vast quantities of injurious
insects which could never be destroyed by
the hand of man. The mode in which
toad takes its prey is very curious. The
singularly beautiful eye of the toad is as
quick as it is bright, and if within the
range of its vision an insect or a grub
should happen to move, the toad is sure to
see il, and nearly certain to catch Il. First
the load holds It's head as high as possible,
so as to make sure of its prey, and then
crawls slowly toward it, pTeferring to get
under il if possible. When it is nearly
within reach, it gazes intently at the in
sect, its mouth being gradually brought
nearer and nearer. Something pink then
flashes from its mouth, and the insects
vanishes as if by magic.
The pink flash is the tongue of the toad,
which is formed in rather curious way.
The base of the tongue is fixed close TO
the front of the lower jaw, and is long and
tapering, the tip pointing down the throat
when it is at rest. When, however, it is
used for catching prey, it is thrown out
with a sort of flick, and the tip, which
is covered with glutinous secretion, ad
heres to the insect, and conveys it down
the toad's throat before the prey has had
time to make an effort for escape. When
the toad swallows its prey, it does it with
a mighty effort, during which the eyes al
most disappear, the size of the insect bav-
ing little to do with the vehemence Of the
demonstration. Sometimes when a large
beetle is swallowed it does struggle, but
too late, and for some time its struggles
may be seen through the thin and ribless
sides of its capturer; the toad sitting the
while in perfect compcsure, not in the
least affected by the Something's and kick
ings that are going on in its interior. 4
Indeed, the stomach of the toad seems
as devoid of feeling as if it were of iron.
Moreover, the toad not only cares nothing
for the scratchings and kickings of large
beetle, but is equally Indifferent to the
stings of wasps, bees and insects similarly
armed with venomous weapons, and will
eat them with marvellous appetite, as if
the sting acted as sort of gentle aid to
like cayenne pepper with Gu

How Long to StarTe.

A man will die for want Of air in five
minutes, for want of sleep in ten days, for
want of water in a week, for want of food
at varying intervals, dependent on consti-
tuition, habits of life, and the circumstances
of the occasion. Instances have been
given where persons have been said to
live many weeks without eating particle
of food but when opportunities have been
offered for fair investigation of the case,
it has been invariably found that weak
and wicked fraud has been at the bottom
of it.
On the 2Sth of August the captain of a
Boston whaler was wrecked. For eight
days he could not get drop of water or a
particle of food. On the day of the wreck
he weighed one hundred and ninety
pounds, and when rescued, he weighed
one hundred pounds. A teaspoonful of
brandy was given to each sailor, but be-
fore they could be taken on board the
vessel which saved them, they became un-
conscious, and remained so for two days,
but all eventually recovered Many per-
sons have been killed by eating too much
after having tasted for long time. The
safe plan of procedure, and that which
every reader should bear in mind, is to
feel the way along, as persons who are
travelling in the dark and fear precipice
ahead There can be no rule given, be-
cause there are so many modifying clrcnm-
stances. Give teaspoonful OF not GrlnK
at time, and, if there are no III effects,
repeat in five minutes, and the same
amount of soft food, boiled rice, softened
bread, or Cruel, for the stomach is itself as
weak as the sufferer in proportion, and
can only manage very small amount of
food.
Wading in water, or keeping the cloth
ing saturated with water, even if it is sea-
water, seAsibly abates the horrors of
thirst.-HaIPs Journal Of Hsdlth

brook so he did not try to be sly about it
but went boldly down through the gar
den and scross the pasture to the brook
bis mother saw him crossing the pasture
with the rod trailing after him, but, as he
often went there to drive the calves about,
she thought the rod was big whip he had
picked up.
The little chap seated himself on the
bank, baited his hook, and began to fish.
He sat a minute quite still, then jerked up
his line with the air of q veteran angler,
then dropped it again; and so on for half
an hour he sat patiently waiting for
nibble.
As he sat there, he had forgotten how
much pains he had taken to teach lamb
that was in the pasture TO butt; but the
lamb had not been so foTgetful, and when
he spied Tiny Tim sested there, moving
his hands, he thought it was "a dare" for
him to butt and butt he did, sending Tim
off the bank, plump into the brook
One squall as he went over the brink
splash, and he was down among the
fishesl
Old Obadiah Oliver happened to be fish
ing just few rods further up the stream,
and, hearing the splash, ran down and
pulled poor Tim out of the water. He was
as wet as a drowned rat
Tim lifted up his voice and wept; and,
to comfort him, the old man gave him
some fish he had caught, and set him over
the fence, and told him to run home and
dry his clothes.
Tim cried as loud as he could bawl, all
the Way home; for he thought he had
spoiled his clothes. OF course he had not,
but as his mamma had only that suit
made. nc ha,i either to put on his dress
again, or go to bIHd. He said he would go
to bed; so he went 70 stairs.
He kept so still that hey thought some
thing was going on, and u ora went 70 see.
She peeped through the cracA OF the aoor,
and saw Tim with a pair Of LSlelus OLD
trousers on, and his fathers coat.
The sight was too much for her, ana Sne
burst out laughing. Tim slammed thu
door, and no more was seen of him till
supper time, when he crept down in his
bed gown, % eat his bread and milk. He
could not be coaxed to put ON a dress
again, after the bliss of wearing trousers.

Exercise

EXERCISE can kill as well as cure. To be
take,, advantageously, it should be done
with iuoSment. Sometimes particular
mart Of the DHdy needs exercise, but the
whole body Is toe weak to give it; in such
case, only the part needing it should have
it. But there is one RUE which isappllca-
BILE to all, never go against the instincts.
Many persons have hurried themselves
into the grave by endeavoring to keep
up" when they ought to be in btd; ana
they do keep up" too, for so long tlme
that, when they do take to their beds, thar
strength is so completely exhausted, that
the system has no power to rise, and they
fall into a typhoid condition, and all is
lost. When anything serious is the mat
ter with domestic animals, they court
quietude and perfect rest. Sometimes we
feel indispOsed to exercise from sheer lazl-
ness; in all loose conditions of the bowels,
debility, an instructive desire to sit down
and stay there is universal; II most OF
such cases quietude is cure. But there IS
one safe rule for all under all circum-
stances: if every step you take is WITT an
effort, do not take another; go to bed; Il
you feel the better for walk, then walk
on; but stop short Of great fatigue.-DT.

4 Vermont Mans wonderful Clock.

Mr.. r. d. MUNsoN, an old resident Of
Williston, VT, has just completed won
derful musical calendar clock, which has
attracted visitors from far and near. 1t is
in every detail his hand-work, the old
farmer having spent his spare hours in
working upon it, for the past eight years.
He has produced an eight-day clock, whose
dial marks the second, minute, hour, day
of the week, day of the month, month of
the year; thermometer rests against its
pendulum, giving the state of Temperature;
the ball Of the pendulum contains
miniature time-piece, which derives its
motive power solely from its vibrations,
and keeps accurate time. There is also q
cylinder musical attachment, which may
be set to play any one of seven tunes at
the end Of each hour. In this last feature
it can so be adjusted-and such was the
intention of the maker-as to play "Old
Hundred" at the end of each hour on Sum
day, and "Old Folks at Home" "Swiss
Waltz" "Star Spangled Banner Hail
Columbia" yankee Doodle" and "Sweet
Home" respectively, on each successive
day in the week. The entire mechanism
is placed in black walnut case, which
measures ten feet high, twenty inches
wide and ten inches Geep. The case is
highly polished, and its front bears the in
scription in raised letters, "OuI Union for
ever -" .. s." Mr. MunsOn, who is So
years old and quite feeble, feels proud Of
what he has accomplished.

Avid the Blues.

The blues, low spirits, and depression
are one and the same thing, caused by
trouble of mind, or an unhealthy condi,
ii IN of the body; but, whether the cause
is in the mind or body, the effect is to eat
out all ioyOusness, to clothe everything in
the blackness and darkness of night. All
suicides are led to the last rash act By de-
preston of spirits; hence it becomes every
one to use all means possible TO break
away from so terrible q danger. Some
times we are sad without any known
cause; we cast our minds about US and en-
oeaYor TO ascertain some reason for the
dispirited condition of the heart; but the
search is in vain; in all such cases the
cause is physical; it belongs to the body I;
the blood is bad AID there is TOO much of
it; it oppresses the brain, and instant
measures should be taken to r6medy the
condition, or fatal apoplexy may engue.
The most available plan involving neither
medicine nor discomfort, except in the
formation of the resolution and the work
of dressing, preparatory towards carrying
it out, is to make visit to some JOYOUS,
ight-hearted friend, or take walk or ride
with some merry member of the fsmily;
but to sit down, and nope and think, is
but to conrt misery, and may be-death.-
