Benefits of Sunshine.

Seclusion from sunshine is one
of the misfortunes of our civilized
life. The same cause which
makes the potato vines white and
sickly, when grown in the dark
cellars. operates to produce the
pale, sickly girls that are reared
in our parlors. Expose either to
the rays of the sun, and they be-
gin to show color, health and
strength.
One Of the ablest lawyers in
our country, victim of long and
hard brain labor, came to me a
year ago suffering from partial
paralysis. The right leg and hip
were reduced in size with constant
pain in the loins. He was obliged
in coming up stairs to lift mp the
left foot first, dragging the right
foot after it. Pale, feeble, miser.

directed him to lie down ur-
der large window and allow the
sun to shine on every part of his
body at first ten minutes a day,
increasing the time until he could
expose himself to the direct rays
OF the sun for q full hour. His
habits were not essentially altered
in any other particular. In six
months he came running up stairs
like a vigorous man of forty, and

A Cure for Every Drunkard.

A DIR. johnson gives a prescrip.
tion to cure every drunkard which
amounts to this:
/. Eat comfortable meals at
regular hours, rartaking especial.
ly of farinaceous food, vegetables
and fruits three times a day.
2. Exercise regularly, but SO
as not to induce fatigue.
3. Have regular and long sleep,
going 10 bed and rising at regular
hours, and take a sleep about
noon.
4. Keep the mind as much in.
terested and amused as possible
by harmless games sports, etc.
5. Take q warm bath daily about
II A.. NJ, if convenient.
6. Break up all old associa
tions.
Z. Keep away from old re-
sorts.
8; Quit chewing and smoking
tabacco, for this blunts the moral
sense and makes the imagination
dull. Liquor makes the ideal fac
ulty wild and unsettled while to-
bacco makes ii obtuoe.
8. Never forget that if you are
to be new man you must have
new ideas. and these must be such
as to make you discard the use of
alchohol in all it's forms. Do not
take it as a medicine any more
than as pervage, for it will rea-
waken the old desire in the one
case as readily as in the other.

THoUeHTLEssNEss.--Young man,
in the flush of early strength, stop
and think ere you take a down.
ward step. Many precious life
is wrecked through carelessness
alone. If you find yourself in
low company, do not sit careless
ly by till you are gradually but
surely drawn into the whirlpool
of inquity and shame, but think
of the consequences of such a
course. Rational thought will lead
yon to seek the society of your
superiors and you must improve
by the association. A benevolent
use of your example and iDfuen-
ce for the elevation of your infe-
Iiors is a noble thing; even the
most depraved are not beyond such
help. But the young man Of i'm.
pressible character must, at least,
think, and beware lest lie fall
himself victim. Think before
you touch the wine; see its effect
upon thousands, and that you are
no stronger than they were in
their youth. Think before you al.
low angry passions to overcome
yoar reason !; it is thus that mur
derers are made. Think before,
in dark hour of temptation, lest
you become a thief. Think we'll
ere lie or an oath passes your
lips /; for a man of pure speech
only can merit respect. All
think on things true and lovely,
and of good report, that there
may be better men and happier
women in the world.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

We must pause occasionally and take
a retrospective glance, ere we can re-
alize at what rapid rate we are ad-
vancing in population, improvements,
etc. One hundred and ten years ago,
there was not a single white man in
Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois.
What is now the most fourishing part
OF the United States was tn, a bowling
wilderness, with no denizens but the
Wild animals, or the scarcely less wild
and savage Indians. 1t was not until
l767 that Boone left his home in
North Carolina to become the first set
tier in Kentucky. Little did that
sturdy frontiersman think, as he stood
gazing upon the majestic Ohio, unruf-
fled by aueht but the canoe of the In
dian, that within century its banks
would be dotted by an almost continu>
Gus line of villages, and that upon It's
waters would be borne such host Of
commerce as is now to be seen there.
4 hundred years ago, Canada belonged
t1 France, and numbered but one and
one half million Of souls. The United
States at that time was the most loyal
portion of the British possessions, the
inhabitants little dreaming that in SO
short time so marked a change would
take place in the history of this coun-
try, and that Republic would be
established which wonld be the wonder
and admiration Of the world \ hun,
drcd years ago there were but four
newspapers in America. Steam engines
had not been imagined, and railroads
and telegraphs had not entered into the
remo;est conceptions of man. In the
East, Frederick the Great nf Prussia was
performing those great exploits which
have made him immortal in military
annals, and with his little monarchy
was sustaining singlchanded test with
Russia, Austria and France--the three
great European powers combined. a
hundred years ago, Napoleon was not
born, and Washington was modest col
onel in a Virginia regiment. ard the
