EXPOSURE TO NIGHT AIR.-From the
time when the sun withdraws his light in
the evening until he scatters the fogs and
mists of night with his morning beams,
the air is in condition much less congo.
nial to health than the day. Light itself
is an invigoratiug element, and darkness
has depressing effect upon the body as
well as the mind. Moreover, from the
hour when the dew begins to fall or rise
we know not which-until the east is
frightened and warmed by the returning
rays, the atmosphere contains smaller
proportion of oxygen, or vital air, than
when the sun shines.

LIFE INCIDENT.

| once knew a yer, great in his profes-
sion and great as a man. He would pause
on his way to the court house, where life and
death, through Gods permission, hung upon
his words, To speak a word of comfort or
counsel and give needed dollar to an indi-
gent beggar by the wayside, be would turn
from crowded court house where hearts
aad laughed and wept at his bidding. and
went his steps homeward to romp and play
with his children. Such man knew once.
1t was worth all of life to have known him.
This man died ere the full meridian of life
shone upon his honored head, and continued
to know his widow. In course of years she
married again, and raised up childien by
TINS marriage. 1t seemed to be quite point
with her to assure them that she loved their
ather full as well as the first husband.
thought detected that this was as much to
persuade herself as them and felt curious
to know the truth; 50 upon an occasion after
she was done uttering these assurances |
turned quickly to her and said:
suppose an angel were to appear now
before you, and say, "Wil you have your
first husband back?" what would be your
answer %
In an instant the tears gnshed from her
eyes. her voice trembled. and with arms out
stretched to heaven. she exclaimed
Il would say, oh, give him to me give.
give him to me J" The next instant her
hands fell beside her. her head dropped
back, and, pale as death, she murmured,
1T was cruel. Susanw
This was after she had been married
twenty-three years TO the second husband.
and grey hairs crowned her brow with their
pure glory; and ! give it to show how long
such a man as have described lives in the
hearts of those left behind. in una bated love
and honor. Oh, that earth possessed more
such.

ANYBODY can soil the reputation of any
individual, however pure and chaste, by
utterlng suspicion that his er emes will
bt lieve and his friends never hear of A
puff of the idle wind can take a million of
the seeds of a thistle, and do work of
mischief which the busbandman must la
Dor long to undo, the particles being too
fine to be seen, and too light to be stopped
Such are the seeds of SANDER, so easily
sown, SO difficult TO be gathered up, and
yet so pernicious in their fruits. The slan-
derer knows that many wind will catch
up the plague, and become poisoned by his
inslnuations, without ever seeking the an
tldote. No reputation can refute sncer,
nor any human skill prevent mischief.

SENSIBLE PLAN FOR DUELs.-Dr. Do
remns, of New York City, has prepared a
plan by which the duel can be made per.
fectly fair to both parties, and at the same
time, yield pleasurablc diversion to the
hostile principals for number of minutes.
His plan is that, instead of meeting with
pistols and surgeon some raw morning, in
lonely field, the injured parties simply
repair to a comfortable room, with two
ounces OF corrosive sublimate, pack of
cards and stomach pump. All being
ready, each man swallows an ounce of the
poison, then they sit dswn and play "sev.
en-up' for the stomach pump The win
ner is saved, the loser gracefully yields his
breath, both are satisfied, all is fair and
the public morals are preserved.

HEoLA AND ETNA.-It is long way
from Hecla, in frozen Iceland, to Etna, in
sunny Sicily. Yet scientific men tell US
that there is little doubt that these two
volcanoes are connected by tunnel or
natural subterranean passage OF communi-
cation. There are good reasons fer this
belief The great internal earth-pulse
beats simultaneously in each. Etna is
never disquieted but Hecla sympathizes,
and Hecla never shows symptoms of erup-
tion without some throbbings in Etna.
Ancient and gigantic twins are they, stand
ing for ages widely separated, but holding
mysterious communication through an un-
explained labyrinth, fiery artery, through
which their hot blood flows and mingles

The Arr of rnII.inr

Talking is an art, susceptible Of improve
ment and elaboration, like any other art
and capable of being seriously impaired by
neglect; like any vocation which, after being
learned may be forgotten. 1t is a mistake to
imagine that all good takers are born with the
endowment; some. indeed, possess it as native
talent, but many others acquire it by long, care
full and painful effort. As a general thing, per-
sons with wide mouths and thin tongues are able
to express their ideas with ease, and to converse
and speak with envied Auency, while those with
narrow mouths and thick tongues stammer
through conversation with labor to themselves,
and little satisfaction to those who listen 10
them But even this latter class may by atten-
ton and effort overcome the infirmities Of their
organs Of speech, and learn TO express themselves
easily and gracefully. The faculty of fluent and
graceful expression is a most charming and en-
viable one, and where it does not exist as a nat
ural gift, is worth the years Of attention and
labor that the acquisition costs 1t requires, in
the first place, deliberation-and this Is why 90
few cultivate it in the midst Of the hurry and
haste Of business pursuits. The words should be
selected with care and with taste. and pronounced
with distinctness and precision Of utteranee. At
frst, this will produce an appearances Of aFeeta-
ton and stiffness; but after little practice, it
will become an easy and faciIe habit; the very
effort to select choice and apt words viii cause
them to flow spontaneously to the tongue, and
The clear, distinct pronunciation Of them will
become an easy task, for the organs Of speech
