Don't Eat Too Muchs

In order that we may rightly compre-
hend the blessings of this life, it is abso-
lutely necessary that we should eat. II
there is not provided for US q rational suf-
ficiency of nutriment, we will soon become
fraternally acquainted with the inanimate
clod that is, to speak plainly, we shall
die. If we eat too much, should our days
be prolonged by frequent inspiration of
medicine, life will be to us burden, griev-
Gus and heavy to be borne.
On account of our edible iniquities do
the doctors and apothecaries greatly
thrive; for we love life, even should phys
icians be Of no value and medicines give NO
strength.
Over-much eating produces derange>
ment of the bowels, or " carnal interiors"
causing pain, sorrow and gloom. Then do
we send for doctor, to enliven us by de-
scribing our physical state. The doctor
prescribes and the apothecary mixes for
us "loathing and abomination." But even
by the nausea Of multitudinous COM
pounds VIC do not become wise. BY great
tribulatiOn, however, we are enabled to
perceive thel inestimable value of wisdom.
The wise man understands how large
quantity Of wood will suffice, and, profit.
ing by experience, he conducts himself &C.
cordingly. The foolish man eats too much.
This meat is as bitterness in his throat.
One of the problems of life is to de-
1ermino the qualities, quantities and times
of eating. Beyond doubt correct solu-
tion of this problem would bring health to
the nations. Should all carefully and dill
gently study this problem, the profess
ional employment Of physicians would be
greatly lessened.-d H. H., in Hearth and

"Mr. DICKENS, on his homeward

fellow passengers an English sailor, q
smart, thorough built man-ofwar's man
from his hat to his shoes, who was on his
way home to see his friends, and who,
when he presented himself to take and
pay for his passage, had been advised to
work it instead and save the money-a
suggestion he secuted with scorn ineffable.

no sooner was he aboard than he slowed
his kit in the forcastle, arranged to mess
with the crew, and the very first time the
hands were turned up, he went aloft like Z
cat before any body. And all through the
passage there he was, first at the braces,
outermost on the yards, perpetually lend
ing hand everywhere, but always with
sober dignity in his manner, and sober
grin on his face, which plainly said, do
it as a gentleman. For my own pleasure,

WINNIE UNDER THE APPLE TREE
BY ELIZABETH AKERs ALLEN.

BY ELIZABETH AKERs ALLEN.
In home nest OF pcsce and Joy,
Bright ard pleasant as home can be,
Lives u merry and sweet faced boy
Under a broad old applc-trec;
Searching wide you will seldom meet
Child so blithsome and fair as he
How can he help being pretty and sweet,
Dwelling under an applc-treel
In the spring when the child goes out,
Glad as a bird that winters past,
Making his fower-beds ali about.
Liking best what he finished last;
Then the tree from each blossomy limb
Heaps its petals about his feet,
And like beni1On over him
Scatters its fragrances, sweet to sweet.
He has only to smile and win
Face more lovely was never kissed
Dear blue eyes and dimpled chin,
Curls that dance in golden mist;
Clrcled ever by tenderest care,
Taught and guided by loves decree,
How can he help being good and fair,
Dwelling under an apple.tree1
In the summer the dear old tree
Spreads above him it's cooling shade,
Keeping the heat from his cheek, while he,
Playing at toll with rake and spade,
Chasing the humming birds gleam and dart,
Wa ching the honey bees drink and dOze,
Gathers in BODY and soul and heart
Beauty and hea tn like an opening rose.
In the autumn, before the leaves
Lose their greenness the apples fall,
Roll on the roof, and bounce from the cave
Pie on the porch and rest on the wall;
Then he heaps on the grassy ground
Rosy pyramids brave to see;
How can he help being ruddy nnd sound,
Dwelling under an apple-tree!
in the winter, when winds are w,..d,
Then st{l1 fAithful. the Atur6Y frea
Keeps it's watch DER the darling child,
Telling him tales of the May to be;
Teaching him faith under stormy skies,
Bidding him trust when he cannot see;
How can be help being happy and wise,

the loss Of blood and the pain it gave me

the loss of blood and the pain it gave me
to move.
The wolves were once more bowling
around; and l could already hear them
tearing the flesh from the bones Of the
dead antelope The blood was still flow
ing from my arm, and had no means of
preventing it. felt that my time had in
deed come, and mentally raised a prayer
to heaven that it might come before [
should be dev0ureu alive by those horrid
wolves.
Soon they finished their repast, leaving
nothing but bones, and began to approach
the spot where lay. There were but few
of them, however, and these, having
feastcd upon the antelope, were not 80
feroc1ous as those of the night before
though still fvrocinus enough, l knew, to
devour me Instantly. | tndeavOred to
raise myself up once more as they came
very near; seeing signs of life, they drew
back little and seemed to hesitate. l
managed-though not without the most
acute pain-to crawl few feet and place
my back against the bank Of the stream,
where it was four or five feet in perpen-
dicular height; and, grasping my knife in
my right hand, I thus awaited their ap-
proach, determined to sell my life as dearly
as possible.
They began circling around me, occa'
sionally sitting down upon their launches
to watch me as cat would watch
wounded mouse, walking along on the
bank, directly over me, and looking down,
and swapping their teeth within few
inches Of my head, and l expected every
moment they would leap off upon me.
The sun had fully risen, when one moe
bold than the rest sprang upon the dead
panther and commenced tearing out the
flesh. I felt my blood curdle in my veins
as saw his horrid teeth setting into the
dead animal, knowing how soon was to
undergo the same operation.
The time had come. One of the largest
and most ferocious looking of the pack
could stand it no longer; and growing and
showing his chattering teeth In hOrrid
grin, he squatted with the intention of
springing upon me. made an attempt to
raise my knife to defend myself, and l
closed my eyes to meet my fate, when the
sharp crack of rifle rang out upon the
morning air, and the savage brute rolled
over in the agonies of death, while the rest
took to their heels. l was saved!
1t was one of my companions, John Ga
ver who arrived Just in time to save me
from horrible death. He, too, had been
out hunting the day before, and had camped
short distance below me. III his rough
way he dressed my wo1nds and was kind
ly cared for; but it was three weeks before
I could walk. My arm healed, but never
fully recovered the use Of it ; and its SCARED
appearance will always remind me OF
that terrible encounter with the Rocky
Mountain lion.
