FISH OUT OF WATER.

To be member of State Legislature,
particularly in a great State like New
York, is not at all times what fancy might
paint it. The present session has been a
lengthy one, and many farmers were elect
ed to it who had no conception of the tri-
ais and tribulations to which they would
be subjected. In place like Albany it
does not take long to make away with the
pittance Of pay, and many nave been
obliged to use this pay in meeting daily
bills, while their board bill for the session
is still unpaid. Such p;nching and fgur-
ing do not believe were ever before seen
in Albany. Members borrowed money
until there was no more to borrow, and

What to Eat.

This term in medicine, according to
some comprehends the whole regimen OF
life, with regard to air, meat, drink, sleep,
watching, motion rest, the passions, reten-
tions and excretiops. [ restrict the term
to eating and drinking alone. The natural
constitution of the body of man is such,
that 1t can easily bear some changes and
irregularities without much injury. Had
it been otherwise we should be almost
constantly put out of order by very slight
cause. This advantage comes from those
wonderful communications OF the inward
parts, whereby when one part is affected
another comes Immediately to its relief
Thus, when the body is too full, nature
causes evacuation through some OF the
outlets; and for this reason, diseases from
absolute inanitionIape generally more dam
gerous than from repletfjh, unless the lat
ter be excessive; because we can more ex-
peditiously diminish than increase the
juices of the body. Upon the same &C
count though temperance be beneficial to
all men, the ancient PHYSICIANS advise per-
sons in good health, now and then to eat
and drink more abundantly than usual.
But of the two, intemperancc in drinking
is safer than in eating. If man be
obliged to fast, he ought TO avoid all labor
ious work. From safety it is not proper
to pass directly into sharp hunger, nor
rom hunger to safety; neither will it be
safe to indulge in absolute rest Immediate
" after excessive labor, nor suddenly to
fall to hard work after long idleness. In a
word, all changes in the way of living
should be made by degrees. The softer
and milder kinds of aliment are proper for
children, and for youth the stronger. Old
PEOPLE ought to lesson the quantity of
their food, and increase that of their
drink; but some allowance is to be made
for,custom, especially in cold climates like
ours; for as in these the appetite is keener,
so is the digestion better performed. Milk
pottaee is far more wholesome than tea
with bread and butter: and, if made after
the following manner, is in many respects
preferable to milk alone: Let equal guam
titles of milk and water be boiled up with
a little oatmeal, which will break the vi
cidity of the milk, and be at the same
time more easily digested than the latter
in an undiluted state. Besides oatmeal is
a much warmer nourishment than wheaton
-four and agrees better with weak stom-
achs.

effects OF the eruption OF Vesuvius.
Flames are said to have burst from the
earth under the feet of the Inhabitants,
and two hundred persons lave been
burned by the lava. The town Of Tore

slvius, is threatened with the fate of
Pompeii The people are flying from
their homes in all directions, and the
authorities are making temporary pro-
vision for them-no light duty, as the
town of Tore de! Greco alone contained
some 1900 inhabitants. A telegram
from London announces the prevalence
of rumors that sixty tourists, who had
approached too near the volcano, had
been killed and wounded. The Bay of
Naples is covered with spectators and
the scene beggars description. 1t Is
worthy of remark that Tore del Greco
is built of the lava which buried the
greater part of the previous town in the
eruption of Jpnn, 1874.

In the Sand.

Alone I walked Oh the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand,
Istooped and wrote upon the sand
My name, the year, the day;
AS onward from the spot 1 passed,
One lingering look behind 1 cast,
wave came rolling high ana fast,
And washed my lines away.
And so methought twill quickly be
With every mark on earth Of me-
a wave OF dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where I have trod tbe sandy shore
OF time, and been, to be no more;
Of me, my day, the name 1 bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with him who counts the sands,
And holds the water N His hands,
know lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name,
or all this mortal part has wrought,
OF all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these feeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame.

office, thirty three in the library, and Us
engaged in counting notes. The librarian
is lady who deserves more than passing
notice, possessing ability of high order
and culture beyond the average man or
woman. She was appointed to this place,
formerly held by gentleman drawing a
salary of $4,000, and the salary was re-
duced to the limit of feminine require
ments, which it seems was then 81 200.
It rose, however, to 81 400 soon thereafter,
and again few days since toSl 800 The
assistant Librarian has entire charge of
the books and performs the duties OF two
desks formerly occupied by two gentlemen
receiving salaries respectively of Sl,4O0
and 81, 900 per year. This lady's ability
is recognized and appreciated by the chief
clerk and head of the division. She is a
relative of Justice Story, formerly OF the
Supreme Bench, and commands salary of
5000. The correspondence of the Secreta-
rvs office is all copied here by the ladies
of the bureau. 1t was formerly done by
gentlemen who received salaries of l.2OO
ST 400, and 81 600 for doing it. There
are five ladies in the Secretary's office
holding clerkShipS Of the first class with
salaries of 81 200 per annum. In the Bu-
reau of the Comptroller OF the Currency
there are twentv-eight ladies, including
one who receives 81, 200 per unnum. The
work done here is the same as dore by
gentlemen IN other bureaus. One lady
does the correspondence. Another is an
accountent Of acknowledged ability, and
is valued for accuracy and fidelity, and
there Is also a stenooraDher who writes for

done in ether bureaus by gentlemen with
salaries raging from 81, 900 to Sl,SG0 per

Above the Clouds.

Mr.. RO6t. y. Bell, an Assistant ODSeFFef
at the United States Signal station on the
summit Of Mount Washington, writes to
the Phi'adelphia Bulletin an account of
his everyday experiences above the clouds.
He was detailed to take the place of Will
liam Stevens, who died in mid-winter
with no friend near him save his solitary
companion, Sergeant Hearne. A party of
stalwart mountaneers climbed to the sum-
nit and took the body down for burial.
They placed it in box fitted to runners,
which was permitted to slide down the
mountain side, the men holding On to
ropes attached to the rear to regulate the
motion and direct the course. Mr.. Bell
says:
awe occupy the depot Of the Mountain
Railroad, in which we have two rooms
partitioned off (ten by twelve, securely
chained to the rocks, so that the wind
may not blow US away. One we use as
kitchen and dining room, and the other as
a parlor, bed and dressing room. We also
occupy the latter as our Office, in which
we keep our barometars and telegrapbic
instruments. the wire connecting with
Littleton, n. H., by which means we are
not wholly excluded from civilization, al
though must admit that visitors are very
few-not a single one since my glorious
ascent.
1--WE generally supply ourselves in Sep
tember with canned provisions sufficient
to last throughout the winter, reckoning
at the same time to give our visitors a
square meal when they come. Our time
we must occupy chiefly by reading and
studying, for our outdoor amusements
are very scarce. In case we do have the
pleasure of going outside to ramble amid
the snow and ice on the rocks, we are
obliged 10 take advantage of the same, and
exercise ourselves by hauling ice, frostwo1k
and snow, so that we may. procure the
water necessary for cooking and drinking
purposes, as the weather is very severe on
the summit, the thermometer since my ar
rival having been most of the time below
zero, and the wind at hurricane.
"I will give you small idea how we
felt, the thermometer standing at forty
nine degrees below zero, and the wind
raging at hundred and twenty miles per
hour. The cold weather which | have
reference to occurred on the 5th of March,
and the mode we adopted to keep ourselves
warm was to bring all the coats and over
coats into requisilion during the day,
with two large coal fires continually burn
ing. At night we took advantage Of our
little bed (which is not bad cne) /, with
covering enough to suffocate any man in or
dinary winter weather, and then | must
confess we suffered with the cold. 1t was
the cpldest time that my comrade and |
ever experienced. We do not mind dur
ing the day TIE thermometer standing at
ten below zero, if the wind does not blow
too hard, for then we can have little hol-
iday by going outside. But at night, un-
less the wind is blowing at least sixty
miles an hour, we cannot sleep well, for
we are too accustomed to hurricanes"
