FIFTEEN FOXLEES.

First--To think the more man cats
the fattcr and stronger he will become.
Sccond-To believe the moro hours
children study Mt school the faster they
learn.
Third-To conclude that if exercise is
healthful, the more violent or oXhausting
it is, the more good is done.
Fourth-To imagine that every hour
taken from sleep is an hour gained.
Finh-To act ON the presumption that
the smallest room in tho house is large
enough to sleep in.
SiXth-To argue that whatcvers rome
dy causes one to feel Immediately better
is good for" the system without regard
to nero ulteror effects. The soothing
syrup" for example, does not stop the
cough of children, arrests diarrhea, only
to cause little later, alarming convul-
sions, or moro fatal Inflammation on the
brain or water ON the brain or, at least
always protract the disease.
Seventh-To commit an act which is
felt in itself to be prejudicial, hoping that
it may be done in your case with impu-
nifty.
Eighth-To advise another to take Il
remedy which you have tried ON your
self without making special inquiry rs to
whether all the conditions are alike.
Ninth-To eat without an appetite, or
to continue to eat after it has been salts
fed, merely to crafty the taste.
Tenth-To eat hearty supper for the
pleasure experienced during the brief
timo it is passing down the throat, at the
expense of a whole night of disturbed
sleep, ana 4 weary waking in the morn
ing.
E}cycnth-To remove a portion of the
covering Immediately yuttercXcrcisc, when
the most stupid drayman in New York
know that if he does not put n cover on
his horse the moment he ceases work in
the Winter, he will lose him in few
days by pneumonia.
Twcl'th-To contend that because the
drticst children in the street, or high
way, are hearty and healthy, therefore
it is healthy to be dirty; forgetting that
continuous daily exposure to the pure
out door mir in Joyous, unre trained ne
tivtics is such II powerful agency for
health that those who live thus are well,
in spite of rags and filth.
Thirtccnth-To presume to repeat later
in life, without injury, the indiscrctions,
exposures and intcmpomncc which in the
flush Of youth were practiccd, with impu-
nifty.
Fourtcenth-To believe that warm air
is necessarily impure, or That pure, cold
air is necessarily more healthy than the
confined air Of n crowded vehicle; the lat
ter at most can only cause faiMing and
nausea, while entering conveyance af-
ter walking briskly, lowering window
thus while still exposed to the draft will
give n cold iniallibly, or an attack of
plcursy or pneumonia, which will cause
weeks and months Of suffering, if not act
ual death within four days.
Fiftccnth--TO remember the Sabbath
day" by working harder and later on
Saturday than any other day in the week,
with n view Of sleeping late next morn
ing, and staying at home all day TO rest
conscience being quoted by the plea Of
not feeling well.-UoH.

a PLAIN-SroKEN MINIsrER.-A Bnp-
tist minister at Harlan, New York, got
into trouble, the other day, by remark
ing Mt the funeral Of u member Of his
church: "This man was lazy Chris
tian," and upon the family objectng to
such language, made the matter worse,
the following Sunday, by saying: "There
is a family in the church who are my en-
cmics for the reason that | did not say
the soul Of the sot was in heaven" The
result Of which is that the ingenious
clergyman has been hauled before coun
ell for misdemcanor.

| EXTINGUIsuING A TRoUBADOUR.-
The other night rs q friend Of ours was
going home at a late hour, he heard in
the distance sweet strains of music, or at
first supposed to be music, but which
proved to be principally strains" and
other dismal sounds which seemed to
come from Il bosom rackcd with anguish,
or a stomach overloaded with green fruit.
| Softly our friend drew near, and at last
| discovered whence the sounds proceeded.
A youth, over whose upper lip the barber
could not have slipped the back of his
razor more than twice, stood leaning
against n gate post, with his eyes fixed on
a chamber window in the second story Of
house before him. In his hands he held
a guitar, upon which he picked with the
air of one who is not certain he is on the
right string, while from his parted lips
came the following song:
have loved the-ho Zulhn 10 hong;
Fo-hOr th-thy life was all so-hong.
Na-Wa-haS all a achc-hccriu! Siui lille,
|
Here the young man paused to spitpnd
fill up again with wind, and then struck
into the chorus:
Oh, Zu-hula, mouldor-hing Tu-hula,
Si-hilant is thy silVor So-hoHc,
Oh, Iu-hula, da- harling Il-hula,
Do-hcar departed hu-hula Iong ong-on.
The Singer here took a rest for few
minutes, looked anxiously down the
street to see that no policemen were in
sight, then throwing plaiutiyo sound in
his voice he sang:
when the mo-hoon is shi-h-ning DER tho
! la-lakc, Oh, the-hen IN thi-hink OF thoo-he-
| hi-inl Of thoe- hce-ce."
Here the front door was suddenly open
ed, and Il scpulchral voice cried, "Sick
him, Tigc ~ and out bounced dog about
the size OF flour barrel and with good
set Of natural teeth. The singer turned n
back somcrsault out Of the gate, and with
the dog uppng at his coat tail at every
jump, disappeared down toward the heart
OF the city. Our friend turned and left
the scene, but not until he had seen Il
middicagcd man in Il single garment,
with an abbreviated narrative, roll in the
hallway, convulscd with mirth, and say
ing, whenever he could stop long enough
to say anythng-"Oh the-hcn, Oh the
hen, I'll thinl, of thee"
Our friend had walked several blocks
from where the scene described occurred,
when he met the dog returning with a
wild expression in his eye, and IL pair OF
suSpenders and portion Of a coat tail in
his mouth. Such is life among the lowly
in that town, and we believe the course
of true love is more tumutuous there
than anywhere. We do indeed.

tho faculty Of seeing minute objects mng-
uiGcd 10 Il marvellous degree. His eyes
were diseased wacu be was young, nnd
he camo near 10 ing his sight, which.
however, he gradually recovered. 1t
was found, however, that the internal
structure OF the eye had becn changed,
the cornoa being greatly enlarged, tho
crystalline lens being divided into thre"
different parts, each part surrounded
with light blue circle; and in the ccn-
ter Of each appears the iris, diminished

ports Of the progress Of the work under
their charge were received, They were

NUMBER 81.
MUTELAgED CURRENCY.

just now very brisk and profitable
business is being carried on in n small
way, and is based upon the carclcssncss
of mankind. This is the collection of
mutilated currency, and national bank
notes of every denomination. A large
quantity of the material is constantly
floating about the money market, and
very large portion Of it goes to waste al
together.
The collectors, or spectators as
they term themselves, only require II
huge wallet, into which the mutilatcd
stamps and bills are stuffed promiscuous-
ly, without any attention or care MS to
whether they arc further mutilatcd or
not. The capital stock necessary to
successful prosecution of this business is
not necessarily great.
Tho prices for currency and bills varies.
An average price Of from sixty to seven
ty per cent is paid. In the case Of stamps
and bills being 50 mutlatcd to an extent
which renders their denomination almmt
unrccognizabc, the price is very low,
yet they are rs marketable rs tho others.
The mutihtcd currency thus collected
is sold at the sub treasury in WAN street,
where the discount on mutilatcd bills nv
cr0ge about ten per cent. Here it is kept
in quantities, aad then forwarded to
Washington whore, at the treasury bui!d-
ing, it is destroyed. Tho spcculator, in
n majority Of cases, buys dilnpidatcd eur
rcncy at about eighty cents and some
times for sevcuty-iive; this he disposcs
Of at the sub treasury for ninety, and as
this is about the average Of the business,
its lucrative results may be easily COM
putcd on the extent of ground covered by
the spccuator. The business is incrcas-
ing in this and ncighboring cities -
women, in many instances, having adopt
ed it, meeting with much success ".

A RATHER curious contribution To the
incidents of the late Boston lire has just
come to light. I'm one Of tho stores in
the burnt district, the porter with the
keys Of the safe was on hand and per-
ceivcd that the fire was rapidly APP
proaching. In his terror he rushed l"
and fro in the counting room, ana at f'sI
caught up the plated ice pitcher full OF
water. locked it in tho aao and departed
from the burning building in the proud
consciousness that he had accomplished
something to save his employers proper
ty. When, bowcvr, the safe was taken
from the ruins, it was found that tho
books were uninjurcd. The heat which,
would otherwise nave charrcd and de-
stroycd the books, only converted the
water into steam. At the last adviccs
steam safes are undtr advertisement rs
