Now Let Us Laugh.

WE are solemn people. Never since
we were nation have we been anything
else. As people, we have never laughed
We have wept and fTOwned and scolded
and fought; but when did America ever
laugh? Never until now; never until a
great volcanic mountain, charged with
fiery elements to its throat, and heaving
in the Titanic throes of a labor whose
offspring was to revolutionize the nation,
and destroy great party, suddenly de-
livered itself of the ridiculous mus, Horace
Greeley, as a serious candidate for the
Presidency of the United Statcsi
May we not now laugh, as great and
good people should? May we not now
clothe ourselves with mirthfulness, as
with holiday garment? May we not
now deck ourselves with garlands and be
glad? Shall not the Third of May be to
us, henceforth, a day of national festivity,
whose patron saint shall be Momus him
self? Shall we miss our great opportun-
ity to shake off the fetters of American
soberness, and to make ourselves a merry
and happy people, like those who rejoice
amid the vineyards of the Old World?
Nothing has been forgotten to make
this political opera 5ontte complete. No
element of absurdity has been omitted.
The composition is beautifully harmOni-

burlesque of the Sage of Chappaqua,

ners and unpleasant speeches, with his
inteTminable political wObblings, with his
hopeless incapacities for dealing with
men and things with any practical COM
nonsense, with what he knows about
farming, and what he teaches about free
love-if it were only Greeley, p,ty ct sim
pie, that this Yes lvius of Cincinnati had
cast forth, even then might the people of
America laugh.
But it is ali this, and so much more.

What to Eat.

THIS term, in medicine, according to
some, comprehends the whole regimen
of life, with regard to air, meat, drink,
sleep, watching, motion, rest, the pas
sions and excretions. | restrict the term
to eating and drinking alone. The nat
ural constitution of the body of man is
such. that it can easily bear some changes
and Irregularities without much injury.
Had it been otherwise, we should be al
most constantly put out of order by very
slight cause. This advantage comes from
those wonderful communications of the
inward parts, whereby when one part is
affected another comes Immediately to
its relief. Thus, when the body is too
full, nature causes evacuation through
some of the outlets; and for this reason,
diseases from absolute inanition are gen.
orally more dangerous than from reple-
tion, unless the latter be excessive; be-
cause we can more expeditiously diminish
than increase the juices Of the body.
Upon the same account though temper
ance be beneficial to all men, the ancient
physicians advise persons in good health,
now and then, to eat and drink more
abundantly than usual. But of the two,
intemperance in drinking is safer
than in eating. If man be obliged
to fast, he ought to avoid all labor
ious work. From safety it is not proper
TO pass directly to sharp hunger, nor from
hunger to safety neither will it be safe
to indulge in absolute rest Immediately
after excessive labor, nor suddenly to fall
to hard work after long idleness. In a
word, all changes in the way Of living
should be made by degrees. The softer
and milder kinds of aliment are proper
for children, and for youth the stronger.
Old people ought to lessen the quantity
of their food, and increase that of their
drink but some allowance is to be made
for custom, especially in cold climates
like ours for as in these the appetite is
keener, so is the digestion better per-
formed. Milk pottage for breakfast is
far more wholesome than tea with bread
and butter and, if made after the fol
lowing manner, is In many respects pref
cradle to milk alone Let equal quanti-
ties of milk and water be boiled up with
little oatmeal, which will break the
viscidity of the milk, and be at the same
time more easily digested than the latter
in an undiluted state. Besides, oatmeal
is a much warmer nourishment than
wheaton flour and agrees better with weak
stomachs Guardian Of Health.

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMsELF.-
If railroad director were lashed to every
locomotive, there would be fewer railroad
accidents, and if doctors had to take their
own physic before administering it to
their patients, fewer people would be poi
soned. DR.. Joseph Walker, of California,
took this course when he first compound
ed the famous Vinegar Bitters which now
rank as an inestimable household remedy
in all parts of the United States. He
healed himself with this specific before he
offered it to the world. He introduced it
with a simple statement of the manner in
which he had discovered its vegetable in.
gradients and been cured, while wander
ing, sick and poor, among the California
tribes. He stated what the preparation
had done for himself, and few sufferers
from dyspepsia, biliousness, rheumatism,
lung diseases, and many other prevalent
disorders, believed him, tried the new re-
storative, and were more than satisfied
with the results. In this way the sale of
the Vinegar Bitters began, and we men
ton the fact as an evidence that in this
age of intelligence and inquiry, nothing
that is really valuable to mankind can
prove pecuniary failure, even though it
may lack the help of capital, and have to
fight its way against powerful opposing
interests. Within two or three months
after it's introduction, the article became
self-supporting, and it now yields mag
nificent annual revenue.

4 Chinese Dinner,

"THE first course" writes Laplace,
twas laid out in great number of sau-
GERS of painted porcelain, and consisted
of various relishes in a cold state, as
salted earth-worms prepared and dried,
but so cut up that l fortunately did not
know what they were until | had swal-
lowed them; salted or smoked fish or
ham, both of them cut into extremely
small slices; beside which, there was what
they called Japan leather, sort of dark
ish skin, hard and tough, with a strong,
and far from agreeable taste, which
seemed to have been macerated in water
for some time. All these et ceterds, in
clHding among the number liquor which
| recognized to be soy, made from a
Japan bean and long since adopted by
the wine drinkers of Europe to revive
their faded appetites or tastes, were used
as seasoning to a great number of stews
which were contained i'm bowls, and sue
ceeded each other uninterruptedly. All
the dishes, without exception, swan in
soup; on one figured pigeons egg cooked
i'm gravy, together with ducks and fowls
cut very small and immersed in a dark
cOlored sauce; on the other, little balls
made of sharks fins, eggs, prepared by
heat (of which both smell and taste
seemed to us equally repulsive(, immense
grubs, peculiar kind of sea-tish, crabs
and pounded shrimps."
The next page is devoted to complaints
and jests upon the two little ivory chop
sticks tipped with silver which are of
course very difficult for a European, ac-
customed as he is to fork and knife, to
use effectually. But the chop-sticks ap-
pear to me far more appropriate in
strument in the hands of lady than our
own dangerous weapons of feeding. The
association Of a gentle maiden with a
fork, to say nothing of a knife, is to my
mind an unnatural one. Knives and
forks should be left to the brawny fists of
the cooks assistants In the refined din
ingroom some milder instruments, or
none, should be employed.
The wine," continues Laplace, "cir-
lated freely, and the toasts followed each
other in rapid succession. The liquor
was taken hot. We drank il in
little gilt cups, having the shape of an
antique vase, with two handles of ex-
quisite workmanship and kept constantly
filled by attendants holding large silver
vessels like coileepots

Cheap Vegetables for Farmers.

FARMERS, as class, pay less attention to
the cultivation of vegetables than men in
other professions who have small gar
dens. We speak advisedly, knowing
from experience and observation that
farmers tables, as rule, are more poorly
supplied with fresh fruits and vegetables
than those of any other class ofour citizens.
Salt pork, ham and eggs, with an occas-
sional change of corn beef and cabbage,
are the usual diet among farmers. 1t is
true that pies, cakes, and the everlasting
sweetmeats (preseryes) are more or less
abundant among the well-to-do portion,
but good wholesome vegetables and fresh
fruits are rarities even among those who
pride themselves on their good table,
Living, as most country people do, on
coarse dry food the greater portion of the
year, ii is no wonder that they feel the
need Of some laxative "bitters" in the
spring, made up OF various species of
roots and herbs, with little whisky add
ed to give il "A pleasant favor and produce
an exhilarating effect.

any medicinal bitters" that the master
of the house may see tit to compound for

letter of introduction to student of

to put himself under the instruction of

SOME years ago, when mock-auctions
were so common in New York, a gentle
man entered one of these establishments,
and soon became interested in the efforts
of the assembled crowd to outbid each
other for the possession of the brass
watches and bogus iewelry offered for
sale. One person, an old countryman,
with long overcoat and a white hat,
was more anxious than any of the other
bidders TO obtain good bargain. Pity.
ing the ignorance of the poor old fellow,
gentleman stepped up ohm and in.
formed him of the character of the goods,
and of the manner in which the sale was
conducted, by means of confederates
employed TO bid up the goods. But, like
most person who hope to get much for
little, the old man refused to be advised,
and continued his bids. Our friend,
however, did not weary in well-doing,
and repeated several times his advice and
warning. AT last the old fellow seemed
to tire of his admonitions, and taking
him on one side, whispered to him
Young man, you might as well keep
| your mouth shut. I'm the proprietor OF
this place. The gentleman left the spot,
internally vowing that he would never
again interfere With the fleeing of a
countryman. an.-HeaTb and Home.
