Control of Our Health.

1T is safe, however, to regard all pain
and sickness as the result and the
necessary result of violence done to the
physical organism by the violation of
law. To deny this is to deny Creator,
and that he has established laws, ordain-
ed relations, and dependencies, assigned
limits and decreed the unvarying condi-
tions of cause and effect. 1t is blank in
fidelity, gross impiety, to charge the
legitimate results of our own acts, our
reckless physical sins, our utter disregard
of Gods laws, the laws which control
this wonderful mechanism of the human
body, upon the good Father, with no re-
gard to His established conditions of
health and longevity, referring the varied
forms of human suffering to ''mysterioats
dispensations of divine Providence !"
Indeed there is no more of ''mystery," :"
connected with ordinary forms of dis
ease, or the natural causes of them, than
in the event of the more usual forms of
violent death The suicide no more GER
tainly does violence to his nature than he
who more tardily secures the same result
by career of dissipation. The inebriate
is no more responsible for self destruc-
ton, is no more certainly the direct cause
of his degradation than the man who by
course of epicurean indulgence legit-
imately produces the same result. He
who abridges human life by overtaxing
the body or the mind, who recklessly
tramples on the laws of his being, etc., is
as certainly proetsetsS1y suicid as he who
employs the more usual weapons. He
who takes his own life is suicide, the
particular means employed being mat

Building VS.. Being Built.

THE Christian Union publishes a con
versation which occurred between an old
gentleman who used the verb is building
and young lady who said being built, in
which the lady is quite ungallantly van
quished. Suppose the young lady had
been the interrogation, the conversation
might have been somewhat as follows:
Young Lady.-Are there any houses
being built this summer in the village?
Gentleman.-No. But there is an ele-
giant house building on State street of
brown stone.
Young Lady.-For whom is it build
ing9
Gentleman (promptly).-It's building
for Mr. Smith, the banker
Young Lady.-It's very kind in the
house to be building for Mr.. Smith. Is
Mr. Smith wealthy
Gentleman-Yes, the richest man in
town. He pays the master-builder ten
thousand dollars, and the workmen get
four dollars day -
Young Lady.-0h, l seel Mr.. Smith
paws the contractor, the mechanics do the
work, and the house is building. Is it
building anything else for him?
Gentleman (dscidedly).-No! the house
barn is building. CThe gentleman's SER
want enters and says, DINNER is eating,
sir.0
Young Lady.-And dinner is eating.
Does dinner eat often? Does dinner eat
meat or vegetables? Does dinner drink
coffee or tea? Does dinner eat break
fast -
Gentleman.-We will adjourn to the
dinner table -
Young Lady, hope the horses have
been fed
Gentleman.-Yesi the oats have been
given to them, and the oats are eating
Young Lady.-So the horses are eating
and the oats are eating, and the dinner is
eating, and the folks are eatingl

Root Up the Weeds.

Two boys, John and Will, were en-
ployed by gentleman to keep the paths
of his garden weeded. John contente1
himself with taking off the top of the
weeds. He soon cried, 81 have cleared
my path;" and, having swept away the
leaves, he went off to play.
Will was much longer at work, for he
stopped to take all the weeds up by the
roots, and he was well tired when he ewent
home.
But the rain came down in the night
and all the next day, and, when the boys
master went few days after to look at
the two paths, Johns wanted wedding as
much as at first, while Willie's was clear
and only needed few turns of the roller
to make it quite neat. So John was sent
back to do his work properly, and very
tired he would have been had not Will
good naturedly helped him to finish his
task.
Only thorough work is worth doing.
Faults only half uprooted will appear
again and again. and we shall almost de-
spair of curing them Willyou remember
this:- NJ Y Observer.

A Wicked FIy.

THE gentle editor of an exchange
makes the aaende honorable in the follow
ing elaborate style: "There is a fly in
our office, one particular, aggressive fly,
distinguished from his brethren by per
tinacity and untiring energy that, if
properly directed, are enough to make
him President Other flies we can dis
pose of by whisking paper at them, or
putting them out of the window. But
this fly we can't manage. We don't like
to kill flies. There is something so con-
fiding about them that it seems like a
breach of hospitality to kill them. That
fly tumbles into our inkstand, crawls out
and dries his little feet by walking over
our paper as we write The compositor
has hard work to decipher our manu-
script sometimes. And, in this connec-
tion, we would make slight correction.
In the number of our paper we called the
Hon. Mr.. IAN unprincipled dema-
gogue,' we should have said "a ahigh-toned
patriot 1t was all the fault of that fly.
The brother of the Hon. Mr.. = came
into our Office this morning with new
and substantial looking cane and re.
minded us of the misprint.

Stammering.

STAMlrERING is due to unbalanced ac-
ton of the muscles concerned IN articu-
lation This is why many persons who
stutter badly in speaking can sing with
out difficulty Singing, compared with
speaking, is as walking compared to run
ming. Some persons whose muscular
systems are not equally developed, as in
the case of many sedentary females, can
walk very well, but cannot run without
staggering. The athlete can run with the
same grace and symmetry of motion that
he can walk In singing, the motions of
the articulating muscles are slow, delib-
crate and measured. In speaking they
are rapid, and if all do not contract in
harmony, some will be thrown into spas
modic action. And this is stammering.
In some cases the tongue, and in other
cases the lips act spasmodically, produc-
ing the varieties of stammeriDg known
as lingual and labial. 1t is very easy to
understand that, if these defects
are not corrected in childhood, they
become, by long habit, very inveter-
ate in adult life. Yet nearly all cases are
durable by judicious training. But
months of patient and perseyering effort
are usually required.
The remedial plan consists essentially
in ascertaining what words or letters oc-
casion spasmodic action, and practicing
on them by pronouncing very slowly and
distinctly. as in singing, until the habit
of spasmodic action is overcome. The
patient must, on no account, utter sound
hurriedly, nor until the mind has, by
deliberate exercise Of will-power, got con-
troll of the muscles. A good elocutionist
may be of great service to the patient;
but he must study the peculiarities of
each case, and not undertake to manage
all cases by routine.-Scieace of Heath.

Poetry.
EVERY DAY.
BY ELIZABETH AKERs ALLEN.

BY ELIZABETH AKERs ALLEN.
On, triling tasks so often done,
Yet ever to be done anew!
Oh, cares which come with every sun,
Morn after morn, the iong years through!
We shrink beneath their paltry sway
The irksome calls of every day.
The restless sense of wasted power,
THE tireeome round of little things,
Are hard to bear, as hour by hour
Its tedious iteration brings;
Who shall evade or who delay
The small demands OF every day
The boulder in the torrents course
By tide and tempest lashed in vain,
Obeys the wave-whirled pebbles force,
And yields its substance grain by grain;
So crumble strongest lives away
Benath the wear of every day.
Who finds the lion In hisl air,
Who tracks the tiger for his life,
May wound them ere they are aware,
Or conquer them in desperate strife
Yet pOwerless he to seattle or slay
The vexing gnats Of every day.
he steady STRAIN that never stops
Is Dlightier than the fiercest shock;
The constant fall of water-drops
Will groove the adamantine rock:
We feel our noblest powers decay,
In feeble wars with every day.
We rise to meet heavy blow
Our souls a sudden bravery fills
But we endure not always SO
The drop drop of little ills;
We still depIore and still obey
The hard behests of every day.
The heart which boldly faces death
Upon the battlefield, and dares
Cannon and bayonet, faints beneath
The needle-points of frets and cares;
The stOutest spirits they dismay-
The tiny stings of every day.
And even saints of holy fame,
Whose souls by faith have overcome
Who wore amid the cruel fame
The moulten crown of martyrdom,
Bore not without complaint alway
The petty pains of every day.
All, more than martyrs aureole,
And more than hero's heart OF fire,
We need the humble strength of soul
Which daily tolls and ills require;
Sweet Patiencei grant us. If you may,
An added grace for every dayl

"What did she saw"

"Not much-not very much" answered
our old romancer, but removing his hat,
he showed us triangular space upon his
head, such as might have been made by
hot smoothing iron, and with not hair
upon Its surface. We thought Fanny
was reyenged.

OUR THEIR IN HEA YEN.

Our Father in Heaven:
We kneel as we say.
Thy name be all hallowed
BY night or by day;
And to Thy bright kingdom
That we may all come,
Let Thy will, as in heaven,
On this earth be done.
o, give to us children
The bread which we need,
For which we ask daily,
AS humbly we plead.
And a= true forgiveness
To others we show,
o, Father in heaven,
Thy pardon bestOwl
From each days temptation,
From evil and wrong.
Lord, keep Us and guard us
Through all our life long;
For Thine is the power,
The glory and might,
That can shield US and guide us
By day or by night.

THE curious phenomenon of regulation
can be exhibited by placing block of ice
on a netting of fine wile. The ice will be
melted by the wire, and, passing down
through it. will become frozen in mass
again below the wire. A simple wire can,
in a similar manner, be drawn slowly
through block of ice, which unites again
behind the wire, finally showing no sign Of
having been cut ut all.
