Dry Bathing.

Regular bathing, SO far as the people
OF this country are concerned, is GER
tainly habit of quite modern adoption.
The fathers and mothers, and grand
fathers and grandmothers, of those who
have reached middle life, seldom or
never bathed, except in the warm
months of summer. Their dwellings
afforded NO conveniences for the act, if
they felt the need of performing it. AS
general thing, the health was I'M
affected by this omission. Why was
this? Because of their occupations and
their methods of living. They were
active workers, they wore but a small
amount of clothing, they lived much in
the open air, and their dwellings were
without stove and furnace heat. If any
one In these days will exercise in the
open air, so that each day he will per-
spire moderately, and if he will wear
thin under-garments, or none at all,
and sleep in cold room, the functions
of the skin will suffer little or no i'm
pediment if water is withheld for
months. Indeed, bathing is not the
only way in which its healthful action
can be maintained by those living under
the conditions at present existing. Dry
friction over the whole surface of the
body, once day, or once in two days, is
often of more service than the applica-
ton of water.
If invalids and persons of low vitality
would use dry friction and DR.. Frank
Inns "air bath" every day for a consid-
cradle period, we are confident they
would often be greatly benefited. Clean
illness is next to goodness, no doubt,
and proper and judicious use of water
is to be commended; but human beings
are not amphibious. Nature indicates
that the functions of the skin should be
kept in order mainly by muscular exer-
else, by exciting natural perspiration by
labor; and delicious as is the bath, and
healthful, under proper regulations, it
is no substitute for that exercise of the
body without which all the functions
become ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Science.

Important Discovery at Jerusalem.

An important discovery has been
made at Jerusalem by Mr.. C. Schick.
Capt. Warren, while conducting the ex-
cavations made at Jerusalem by the
Palestine exploring fund, explored a
remarkable rock-hewn passage leading
southwark toward the temple area from
the subway at the Convent of the Sis
ters of Zion. Mr.. Schick has found
continuation of this passage, or rather
aqueduct, as it is now proved to be,
toward the north wall of the city,
little east of the Damascus gate. AT
this point the aqueduct has been cut in
solid rock, which lies in front of and
communicates with the well-known cav
erns it is, therefore, older than these,
and can hardly be assigned later date
than that of the Kings of Judah. Mr..
Schick was unable at the time to follow
up his discovery, but the Palestine ex-
ploration fund have taken the matter
in hand and hope to find the source
from which the water is derived. The
existence of the aqueduct lately dis
covered is a strong argument in favor
of the belief that the city of David oc-
cupied portion of Mount Moriah, and
it may possibly enable us to identify
the pool or some source near it as the
Upper Gihon, and Silvaur as Gihon in
the valley.

A Horse Drawing the Nations Upward.
From MI Ronnersa Na,r 1anrl I.oa....

FROM mr.. Bonner's New York Ledger.
One. of our religious contemporaries
recently inquired whether any man had
ever been drawn upward by horse
meaning, we suppose, to intimate that
the Almighty, in creating the horse and
making the race so numerous, had only
created SO many agents of the Evil One.
to draw men steadily downward.
There is certain horse in this CITY.
This horse carries his owner TO ride
every morning. This ride is seldom
scarcely ever-omitted. Sunshine or
storm, clear skies or rain, hail, sleet or
snow whatever the weather NAV be.
through summers heat or winters
cold, SO that there is not excessively
slippery footing, whenever the owner is
IN the city, the ride takes place. On
these short winter days, before the sun
appears above the horizon, the horse and
his rider may be seen afar out on the
road through Central Park.
What of it? A good deal of it.
The rider is an old man, if we reckon
his age by years; yet he is hale, healthy,
vigorous, full of animation, full of
energy, full of hope and confidence as a
youth.
And what is the secret of all this e?
The horseback ride in the morning.
This early ride and its health giving
influence enable the rider to perform a
great and unusual amount of mental
labor. He is lawyer, enjoying, we
suppose, the largest or at least the
most lucrative practice ever possessed
by any member of the legal profession
In the United States. AS author of the
Code of Procedure of this State, which
has been extensively adopted elsewhere,
he is well known throughout the civil
lied world.
But how about this horse drawing the
nations upward?
To late hour every night for years
past the distinguished gentleman of
whom we speak has been engaged upon
an international Code, which Will soon
be completed, and one great and prin.
cipal object of which is to abolish, or at
least to diminish wars, and make the
great principles of peace, which are an
essential part of Christianity, practical
and realized truth, and not a mere
theory, over the whole earth.
But for the morning rides this great
work would probably never have been
written.
The general adoption of this Inter
national Code will probably be the work
OF years yet to come, but its benign in.
fiuence will begin to be felt as soon as
it is published
The name of the author is David
Dudley Field. Is not the horse deserv-
ing of a name also? Has not he done
something to draw, not man only, but
the nations upward? When Mr.. Fields
| statue comes to be erected, we think ii
should be an equestrian one, and on

With the few dollars she had saved,
Kassy succeeded the next day in re-
deemiDg the little ring and her fathers
silver watch. Returning she threw the
silken cord round her fathers neck.
and fastening the ring tightly to it,
said: "There, father, is your talisman.
Call it your Band of Hope so that
when you are tempted it will remind
you of what you hope to be and what
we hope you'll be-"
My band of hope is my children"
he said, with grateful tears in his eyes :;

Dreamland Graves.

DR. ,amland lies close to every soul,
Its doors will ope at lightest words,
And thoughts fly in an out like birds,
And build their nests on every knoll.
Each flying thought will rear its brood.
Each dreamy hope will build its nest,
And cover with its plumy breast
Sweet singers who Cur sight elude.
But, oh the graves in dreamland found
The buried plans. the hopes so chilled:
The sealed-up tombs with fond hopes filled;
The turf heaped up on greenest mound!
Some dreams graves shine with soft sward bright
True love still watches DER its dead,
Spring roses blossom at the head.
And rainbow sunsets drop the light
Some dig their graves. and proud and chill
From youths dear dreams turn with a sneer
Gu never from them know how dear
" ere the soft hopes that time doth kill.
There tender mourners wonder long
And grieye for what they never had:
There glide the ghosts eft heroes glad,
There noiseless chants the poets song.
There hide the books that meier were writ,
There, buried in the dreamland mould.
Rust eats the marble statue cold,
That never sculptor's tools shall tit
There little graves of childish hope
Lie close to great sarcophagi,
Where giant plans must buried lie,
And neither more in dreamland grope.
Thus dreamland is so full of graves.
You scarce can find a spot to place
footstep, or your paths deface
Some allowed turf that memory Graves.
Oh cemetery of dead dreams
The vastest graveyard earth can show;
Your boundaries no man can know
Till heavens revealing glory streams.
We then shall reap what now we sow;
No longer wrapt in silence dumb,
Your resurrection then shall come
With Easter mornings golden glow.

How Life may be Heightened.

An article on this subject has recently
appeared in the London Times. sug-
gested by DR.. Fairs review of the causes
of death in England for the year 1869.
The inference that it draws is interest
ing to all communities, and especially
SO, we think, to the American people,
whose enterprise and energy are draw
ing so heavily upon the physical force
of the nation.
1t is asserted as quite possible that
the agencies at work against health,
strength and life may be counteracted,
and that these agencies are under our
power to a greater extent than we allow
ourselves to believe. All diseases are
more or less subject to human control,
for if not directly caused, they are yet
fastened, by mans ignorance, vice or
neglect. "We must all die at last"
says the Times, "but something more
than divine law of mortality is operat-
ing when out of half million deaths
less than twenty eight thousand can be
referred to old age or only about one
in eighteen"
The sanitary precautions of ventila-
ton, sewerage, proper food and cloth
ing are observed with us perhaps as
much as they are in England. But the
mind and body are here running q. ter
rible race, and are both over-exnited
and overtasked. The consequence is a
decided increase of disease of the brain
and nervous system among our male
population, leading to a general break
ing down at comparatively early age.
These diseases are clearly under human
control, and therefore preventable, for
it can not be regarded as a necessity to
live SO fast, nor is there any profit in it
if the penalty be shortened career.

Leaf after leaf spreads its blush to the air.
Kissed by the sun;

Loves guerdon won.
Leaf after leaf shrivels up from the heart.

None left to care.

Nay, the divine in it fingers there still,
