THE RUTs OF LIFE.

Halls journal of Health, recomnteud-
ing the variety in life which rests and
recreates soul and pody, says, in rele renee
to ruts:
"Get out of them il you wish to live
long; If you wish TO avoid the lunatic
asylum II you wish to avoid suicide or
miser's death. Men and women must
have recreation; must have amusement;
must have diversion. II is wholesome for
the mind to break away from its daily vo-
cation or employment every night. The
man who goes from his counting house or
his workshopat the close of the day. and
does not leave IL behind him, but sits Mt
the family table in moodness, brooding
over past occurrences, weighing probable
lies. casting conieclurcs, laying plans, and
when the meal is over, SITS thinking,
thinking, thinking, by the hour, and goes
to bed TO toss, and tumble aud worry, can
not live long.
"In the island of Cuba, the wagon roads
lead over the hills made of limestone; the
wheels have run IN the same track for gen
orations, and have so worn into the solid
stone that the hubs scrape the surface, and
there is no getting out of the rut until the
bottom of the hill is reached. $ in the
lives of many, the mind, under the inilu-
ence of worldly care, gets to run In par
ticular track; in other cases, the occupations

THE SENSATIONS OF \ POISONED MAN.
A man in Harrisburg recently attempted
to commit suicide by taking a grain o f
strychnine. The skill of his physician
having saved his life, he narrates his ex-

says:

WoMAN SUFFRAGE IN WYoMINa has

and no one will be surprised to hear GOV.
Campbell speak of the experiment so
highly as in the following extract from bis
message vctoing the lqgislativcac of repeal /:
In this territory women have manifested

to public affairs a clearness of understand

considering their their exclusion hitherto
from practical participation in political az

greatest admiration, and above all praise.
The conscience of women in all things is
moro discriminating and sensitive than
that Of men; their sense oi Justice not COM
promising or time-scrNing, but pre- and

or sentimental, merely, but springinp rom

love of order, have been made by the en-
fIauchiScmcnt of women to contribute to
