A Secret for Woman,

Many woman who, before marriage.
made it their study 10 please the eyes of the
men they wished to marry, lose their fec,
ton after marrlase by careiossness in dgeas
Men are fastidlous in this matter. Even
those who are careless in regard to their own
appearance take delight in seeing their
wives neat in their attire. They miss those
coquettish garments, the neatly dressed hair,
and all the thousand tasty and fanpifgl 1t;
tie articles 9th which young women adorn
themselves, more than they would be willing
to allow. The neatness and order which
charmed them too often give place to a slo
venly morning gown. frowsy hair, slipshod
and unlaced shoes, and the like. Men rea-
son that they should have tee same desire
to please tbs meu they have chosen after
marriage as we'll as before it, The last new
song loses its charm coming from the lips
Of slatterp The poetry goes out of lite
at glance, and the household loses its
brightness. The wife who on account of
household cares neglects her personal ap.
pearance, commits grave mistake, which
too afteu bears bitter fruit, and they e
their husbands leave their eoeiety for that
Of others without really knowing the cause
and m 7st men are too proud to tell them -
Let women always give the same care -
thei7 dress after marriage which they gave
it before, and not rush from the room to
''dress ups only when there is prospect Of
company" Let them consider that that
which gives them charm in the eyes of their
friends has q like effect upon husband
and they will not have so many pressing
business calls in the city, in the evening
but will have the same delight in their soci.

Death by the Nerves.

When a man is wounded in battle, even
slightly he is likely to be knocked PROSTATE,
which is in fact. the first intimation he gets
that something has happened. 1t is not the
force of the blow nor the wound that brings
him to the ground, for he may presently
get up and walk away, or fight again, if he
be very determined but it is the shock up
on the nervous system. A similar shock
may come through any accident just as the
case would be through stroke of lightning
Sometimes it may be so violent that death
will overtake the victim beyond recall by
reaction, while there is no sufficient injury
to the tissues organs, or loss of blood, to
cause fatal result in a family, where the
young man had only no disease of any tbs.
sue that could cause alarm. and no one
could have predicted the result. Nothing
could be said of it, but that some violent
shock fell upon an enfeebled nervous sys-
tenn, and took life away before the trouble,
what it was, could pronounce itself by dis
organizing any part of the body. Civilian
ton and its intense activities bring great
strain on the nervous powers; physicians
have to bear this in mind and direct their
councils accordingly. What is desirable is
to discover some remedy which will act
promptly as a counter-shock. In cases Of
certain kind, as in lightning strokes,
dashes Of cold water, suddenly given by tive
paiFul, sometimes avail. Perhaps, when
the nervous force is better understood, it
may come within control as decisive as
that over galvanic currents in cablo, which
are charged at will. Meanwhile there should
be sufficient knowledge disseminated among
the people to enable them to exercise eau
ton in avoiding whatev is destructive Of
vitality.

Poetry.
Be MercifuI. Oh, God!

When life is bright as rosy morn,
And tuneful as the song of birds,
And every thought has fairy form,
Our lips are taught 10 frame the WORDS,
Be merciful OBJ, God
When sorrow folds her sable wings
Over the poor, frail human heart,
We weep and pray, yet kneeing ask
Although the blow leaves bitter smart,
Be mercifui, Oh, God
When Sin stalks by with reckoning hand,
And men that ever lures us on,
We look above, and trembling ask,
The while we SILVER meath his frown,
Be mercifnl, Oh, God
But when despair has wrung the soul,
When life to us no joy affords,
When hearts we've cherished have grow
cold,
With bitter laugh we scorn the words,
Be merciful, Oh, God

seasonable, the silk revives and renews, but
the tassel does not recover. Then for want

pollen from the replantcd corn is then ready
to supply the silk, and the filling if com
