Nurses.

1t is almost better for q sick person to
be without nurse at all, than to have a
fussy fidgity one in the room, who gives
the poor invalid the feeling of living in
the midst of small whirlwind. That
it proceeds from the nervousness and
anxiety of affection is no comfort, and
indeed is often only an aggravation,for
the fresh worry that the poor nurse Is
sure TO throw herself into, is check
upon the expression of measiness or
additional illness, which is often relief.
Real affection, united with common
sense, will produce the steady, calm de-
mcanor which is such rest and COM
fort to those who have to struggle with
the nervousness and irritability incl
dental to severe illness. Want of pres
ence of mind in sick-room is product
i've of worse evils than mere distress to
the invalid. The fussy, easily agitated
nurse will be quite overwhelmed by the
sight ofsa fainting fit, or the bursting
afresh of vein after bleeding; she VIII
forget the simplest remedies, or be too
nervous aud too faint to apply them
properly; she is always in danger OF
mistaking medicines, and sometimes
giyes a lotion internally, and carefully
rubs ON tonic or soothing draught.
1t is no exaggeration to say that far
more suffering, even loss of life, has
been caused by want of composure and
presence of mind in a sick-room, than
by negligence, whether wilful or unde-
signed.

Why Women are Weak.

When we consider what an intricate
system of defiance to all known physi-
illogical laws woman's dress has be-
come; the tender age at which this de-
fiance begins, and the relentless pres
sure of it upon the formative and the
recuperative energies of the constitu-
ton; the murderous thinness and seam
tiness of her underdress; the effect 0f
the absence of tlannels, and the custom
of barring the neck and arms, upon the
sensitive tissues Of the lungs and heart !;
the check to all even circulation of the
blood and healthy condition of the skin
inflicted by the imperfect and compress
ed covering of her feet and hands !;
the unhealthy heat of the head, conse-
quent ON the manner in which custem
requires her to collect her hair into a
wad of padding at the base of the brain !;
the clasp of a rack of steel and whale
bone about all the vital organs of the
body; the straight-jacket snap with
which the seams of her dress meet
about her shoulders, arms and chest;
the result inevitable upon making the
hips the pivot upon which her heavy
clothing is hung, and the fulcrum upon
which all the motion of her body must
swing in walking-if, indeed we apply
that term to the infantine toddle with
which women are driven to get about
the world; above all, the unreasonable
and cruel custom which compels her to
drop heavy skirts about her lower limbs
and feet, thus endangering her life on
all occasions, her health on any but Il
dry summer day and her self-rliiance
forever; when we consider the extent
to which the common occupations of 4
woman deprive her of the open air, of
exercise, of change of scene, of ac-
quaintance with the world; of the eX-
tent to which they are adapted to pro-
duce all the varieties of sedentary dis
ease; when we consider the unlimited
luhuCuCC VI tllO iiiiiu upoii bhC DOuN ,Vt
happiness upon health, and the BROOD
ing morbidness and acute suffering
which the lives of women so largely in
ducetin them-shall we find it matter
of surprise that women as race are
diseased and feeble, and are bestowing
upon the world future legacy of dis
eased and feeble children? Shall we
wrap this ruined creature away in 4
shawl to die, and say, with sorrowful
assurance: Behold woman as God
made her?'
Woman'as God made herl As man
and the devil and her own cowardice
have made her! God never made such
women rs are cradling the next genera
ton in this land to-day. Side by side
with female illiteracy,' female feeble
ness is running race among us. Neg
lected brains and tortured bodies are
working their own way upon our actu-
al and possible mothers. Thoughtful
physicians are perplexed and alarmed.
We are beautiful, useful and elevated
order of animals; the world has done
the right thing by us; it has stalled and
fed us; it has petted and praised us
who can complain?

ooh, the loneliness of her little cot
tage that night! The clouds gathered
thick without, and were heaped up thick
within. The rain without might beat
against the pane, and the winds might
fiercely blow, but together, they could
not make the dreariness of her room
more desolate. The struggle was long.
The furnace through which she passed
was heated sevenfold, but she came forth
doubly purified.

with much interest; the photograph
she gazed at long and earnestly, and
she liked it.

Fred, is our last meeting on earth. Shall
we meet aboye?'
He could say nothing. His emotion
was. too great. He regarded her almost
with awe. Her words afterwards spo-
ken, though full of awe, yet were mark
ed with such genuine unselfishness, with
such noble resolve and devotion to the
Master, who now held all her heart,
that she seemed more than human. That
last parting! Few, indeed, have been
sadder. One last kiss, one last pressure,
and they separated, to traverse their
now diverging paths.
Long did Edith sit by the open door,
needing not the deepening darkness
and the increasing cold. Twice, now,
had her loving nature, when eongeni-
al soul seemed attached to her own,
been plunged into an abyss of disap-
pointment and sorrow, from which she
was rescued only after much weeping,
many vigils, and agonizlng prayers.
Twice had she loved, and twice was her
love rejected. But the good God had a
work, and this was means of prepara-
ton. Her love was meant for Himself,
and He must have it. Two sorrows
were needed. Two great trials of the
Good Mans sympathy, and of His con-
scious loving presence, were needed, be-
fore she could give Him all. None less
than He was worthy of her. Patiently
in His work she labors, waiting until
that day, the payday of her trust,
when He shall take her to Himself. The
Lord loveth whom He chasteneth.
Not little of her noble spirit she left
with Fred. He is happy now. With
his wife he reads the letter of Edith,
written in her foreign home, and little
Edith listens with wide-open eyes, her
infantile admiration not less than that of
her parents. When they meet again
hereafter, it will be as brother and sis

DEAR SIR -s'a1@a = 3aiGa1
You make two preparations Which, it
appears to me, are worthy of a more
general acceptance thru they have had

matte Elixir of Citrete Of Caffeine
The former have been used in my own
case-torpor of the Liver-and in my
family with a marked success, and l
believe them superior in all hillary de-
engagements to any pills now made.
The Caffeine is the only remedy that
has, in my experience, proved enectual
for nervous headaches. It never fails,
and the relief it affords is delicious !:
for not only does the pain cease. but
pleasant exhilaration supervenes, and
is converted to pleasure. A

RICH WITHOUT MoNRy.-Many a
man is rich without. money. Thou
sands OF Blcn with nothing in their
pocket, are rich. A man, born with a
good sound constitution, a good s. ON
ach, a good heart, and good limbs, and
a pretty good head-piece, is RICH
Good bones are better than gold /;
tough muscles better than silver; and
nerves that flash fire and carry energy
to every function, are better than
houses or land. 1t is better than a
landed estate to have the right kind
of father and mother. Good breeds
and bad breeds exist among men as
really as among herds and horses.
Education may do much to check evil
tendencies or to develop good ones;
but it is greater thing to inherit tho
right proportion of faculties to start
with. The man is rich who has good
ldisposition-who is naturally kind,
patient, cheerful, hopeful and who has
favor of wit and fun in his compost
ton. The hardest thing to get on Will,
i'll tllis life is mans own self. A
cross, selfish fclIow-a Responding and
complaining fellow--a9 timid and care
burdeDed man--these are all born de-
formed on the inside. Their feet do
not limp, but their thoughts do.

SINGULAR AFFECTION OF THE GIR.FFr
The Turf, Field and Farm SAYS: s.The
giraffe in Barnum's menagerie shows
wonderful affection for It's keeper. n
win allow no other man to handle il,
and 1t grows nervous and uneasy when-
ever the young man is away from its
side. The keeper even has to sleep i'm
the cage with the giraffe. 1t is hand
some cage, and i'm one end of it tie
young man has his bunk. When the
giraffe is lying down, its head nestles
close to the face of its keeper, and thu
the two slumber lovingly side by side.
The young man has had charge of It
only since it landed in this country
some six weeks ago. 1t is a male, three
years old, and as the female which
started with it was lost in the VOYAGE
across the Atlantic, the affection once
reserved for the dead mate seems to
have bean transferred to the man who
first received and caressed it ON the yes-
sells asriOal in New York. The giraffe
must naturally be of an affectionate dis
position, or it would scarcely have be-
come so fond of human being in so
short q time after leaving its. native
wilds."

Progress Of Louisiana Railroads

We clip the following interest
ing information from the New Ibe
ria Sugar Bowl, of 9th INST.
Work is not progressing as rap
idly on tho lower portion of the
road as we had hoped. We believe
that most of the track between here
and Brashear City is now ready to
receive the cross ties and iron, and
the temporary relaxation is caused
by the delay in the arrival of the
iron. We learn that ship recent.
ly left New York with a cargo Of
iron, and it is expected in Bcrwirk's
Bay abont the 10Th inst, as it will
come direct. AS soon as it arrives
ties and rails will be put down very
rapidly, and, we have no doubt the
cars will be running as far as New
Iberia long before the growing
crops have matured.
We observe that the railroad
wharf at Major Weightman's be.
tween Pattersonville and Centre
vile has been completed, so that
a locomotive can be landed, there
and run out to the main track by
the time the cargo arrives.
. We hear but little of the pro
gress of tn e work Of grading
through the. swamp back of Gov.
ernor Bakers, but we presume this
portion of the work is being pushed
with grea! energy.
We learn from Jeannerette that
the railroad company have deter
mined to build a substantial wagon
road across Grand Marias, immc.
diately in the rear of that village,
for the purpose of getting ont cross
ties from the swamp, about ten
miles further back. This will be
of vast benefit to Jeannerette, as it
will supplya want long needed-a
good road to the populous and
prosperous lie Piquant prairie.
A much larger number of men
are engaged atwork on the western
division of the road. Every day.
additional gangs of workinmen ar
rive on the steamers and go on
west to work. We learn that work
has lately been begun between here
and Vermillionyille, and that the
engineer corps are operating be-
tween there and the sabine.

How to Carve.

Although it is daily duty for men
and women to cup up meat fora family,
there are multitudes who do it neither
wise nor we'll. The following sugges-
tons from an agricultural paper on this
point may not be out of place to young
housekeepers: .-
To carve fowl, which should always
be laid with the breast uppermost, place
the fork in the breast and take off the
wings and legs without turning tho
fowl, then cut the merry thought: cut
slices from the breast; cut out the col
lar bone; cut off the side pisces, and
then cut the carcass in two. Divide the
joints in the legs Of turkey.
In cutting surloin, cut thin slices from
the side next to you Git must be on the
dish with the tendcrloin underneath

kinds.

Carve a fore quarter of lamb by scra-
rating the shoulder from the ribs and
then divide the ribs.
To carve a loin Of veal, begin at the
smaller end and separate the ribs,
Help each one to Il piece of kidneys aud

To carve fillet of veal, begin at the
top and help to the stutling with each
Slice. In q breast of veal, separate the
breast and brisket, and then cut ur,
asking which part is preferred.
In carving a pig it is customary to di-
vide it and take off the head before {
comes to the table, as to many persons
the head is revolving. Cut off the limbs
and divide the ribs. -r 7 -a-'4i-
