When Do Men Die?

Medical experience proves that. in
chronic diseases. the greater number of
deaths occur just before dawn. This is
eminently true of brain diseases. and of
all those related cases where death results
from an exhaustion Of the vital power,
through overwork, excessive excitement.
or nervous prostration. 1t is at the hour
of Ave o'clock in the morning that the
life-force is at its lowest ebb, and succumbs
most readily to the assault of epilepsy. or
PARALYSIS, or of the fatal lethargy that
comes in those wildly beautiful picture
dreams, for which medical science has as
vet found no name, and of which it has
taken no sufficient cognisance: Nine
tenths of those who die in this way expire
in their sleep. In many such cases. if a
friend were at hand to waken the sleeper
when the attack comes on, or if he were
to be awakened by some accidental noise.
he might, by the use of few simple pre-.
cautions, prolong his life for many years
for the shock which proves so fatal to the
man wrapped in deep sleep, when the
system is passive and relaxed. would be
victoriously repelled were it armed with
all its waking energies. Men who d.
brain work, aud who are on the shady
side of forty, should be on their guarc
against this insidious enemy. They shoulc
beware of five o'clock AM, for it is I
perilous hour. Do you find yourself un
able to sleep. when you retire for to-
night, exhausted with your days work
Do you. in vain, turn from one side t.
the other? Does your brain persist ii
working when you would faiu have it rest
Do old saws, and scraps of rhyme, repea
themselves in your memory with weari
some iteration, defying your utmost effort
to silence them? Then, say to you
beware You will be sure to sleep a
last. It is only question Of time; for
sooner or later, nature will assert be
rights.

Changing Clothing-P Pneumonia.

The following from Halls Journal of
Health for March is timely and worthy Of
consideration by all: @
In the latitudes of New England and
New York, going westward. the month of
March is the most disagreeable of the
whole year, with its changing tempera-
ture, its slosh and mud. its cold, raw.
piercing, damp winds; aud although not
as cold as January and February, it is
more prolific of dangerous diseases, great
ly promoted by the hurry of the people
for lighter clothing; but it would be a
great deal better to wear the entire winter
suits through March. aud even to the mid
die of April; and even then, until the first
week 10 May, to make no change in the
outer clothing, nor any in the inner gar
ments, except to a less heavy woolen next
the skin; for it is only for the three hours
embracing one o'clock in the afternoon
that winter clothing is at all oppressive
while the very warmth Of MONDAY makes
the raw dampness of the morning and late
afternoons specially felt. "
All changes to lighter or cooler gar.
ment should be made at dressing in the
morning; and if in any. case the chsnge
leaves the body chilly. or if soon after i
is made the weather changes to be much
cooler, by all means promptly, without
half an hours delay, resume the full WIN
ter dress. The old. the young. the ID
valid, in short all persons OF feeble consti
tutions of small vitality, should be espe
cially careful to heed these suggestions
inattention to which gives rise to the yer.
frequent announcements in the morning
papers, in the early spring: Died sud
denly. yesterday. Of pneumo
uia. ."-often. the very friend whom "
had met in the street, or at church. with
in week. apparently as well and as bear
ty as ever before.

Nor CATCHING. "A lady school teacher
in Omaha, having an inordinate dread Of
small. pox. sent home little girl because
she said her mother was sick and had
marks on ber face. The next day the
girl presented herself at the school-house.
with her fingers in her mouth and her
little bonnet swinging by the strings and
said to the teacher: Miss, we've got
a little baby at our house : but mother
told me to tell you that 1t isn't catchin.
The teacher said that she was very glad,
and told her pupil to take her seat.

again; every lip was mute; her voice low.
faint, yet awfully distinct. She fixed her
sorrowful glance upon the wine-cup. f
''It is,evening now. The great white
moon is coming up, aud her beams fall
gently on his forehead. He moves not;
bis eyes are out of their sockets; dim are
the piercing glances. In-Eain his friend
hispers the name of father of sister no
soft hand and no gentle voice soothe him.
His head sinks back; one convulsive shud-
der; he is dead" asst'.'
A groan ran though the assembly,
So vivid was her description. SO unearth-
| ly her look. so inspired her manner. that
what she described seemed actually to
have taken place then and there. They
noticed. also, that the bridegroom had hid
his face. and was weeping.
Dead" she repeated again. her lips
quivering faster and faster. and her voice
more broken-.and there they scoop a
grave. and there. without-a shroud, they
lay him down in the damp. reeking earth,
the only son of proud father, the idoliz-
ed brother of fond sister; and he sleeps
to-day in that distant country, with no
stone to mark the spot. There he lies, my
fathers son. my own twin brother, VIC
tim of this deadly poison Father r she
exclaimed, turning suddenly, while the
tears rolled down her beautiful cheeks
''father shall I drink this poison now?"
/ The form of the old deacon was convul-
sed with agony. He raised not his head,
but in smothered voice be faltcred. "No,
my child, in Gods name no."
She lifted the glittering goblet. and
letting it fall suddenly to the floor, it was
shattered in pieces. Many fearful eye
watched the movement, and instantaneous
| ly every glass was transferred to the mar.
BILE table on which it had been prepared.
Then, as she looked at tie fragments Of
crystal. she turned to the company saying !:
"Let no friends hereafter. who love me,
tempt me to peril my soul for wine. or
any other poisonous venom. Not 6rmer
are the everlasting hills. than my resolve.
God bel lp me, never to touch or taste the
terrible poison And he, to whom have
given my hand-who watched over my
brothers dying from in that land of gold
will sustain me in this resolve. Will you
not my husband?" His glistening eyes,
his sad, sweet smile, was her answer The
deacon had left the room: t,st when be re-
turned end = =
dal guests. none co67d lan 10 - sdac he,
too, had determined to Danish the enemy
at once and forever from the princely
home.
Reader, this is no fiction Twas there
and heard the words, which | have pen
ned as near as I can recollect them. This
bride. her husband, and her brother who
died in the gold regions of California, were
schoolmates of mine Those who were
present at, that wedding of my associates.
never forgot the impression so solernnly
made, and all from this hour forsook the
social glass.
