What Breaks Down Young Men.

1t is commonly received notion that
hard study is the unhealthful element OF
college life. But from tables of the NOR
tality of Harvard University, collected by
Professor Fierce from the last triennial
catalogue, it is clearly demonstrated that
the excess of deaths for the first ten years
after graduation is found in that portion
Of the class of inferior scholarship. Every
one who has seen the curricum knows that
where Eschylus and political economy
iniure one, late hours and rum punches
use up dozen, and the tive little fingers
are heavier than the loins of Euclid. Dis
sipation is sure destroyer, and every
Young man who follows it is as the early
flower exposed to untimely frost. Those
who have been inveigled into the path of
vice are named Legion. A few hours
sleep each night, high living and plenty of
.'smashes make war upon every function
of the body. The brains, the heart, the
lungs, the liver, the spine, the limbs, the
bones, the flesh, every part and faculty are
overtasked and weakened by the terrific
energy of passion loosened from restraint,
until, like a dilapidated mansion, the
"earthly house of this tabernacle falls
into ruinous decay. Fast young men,
right about.-Scientife american.

A PRAYER.-In the State of Ohio there
resided family, consisting of an old man
of the name of Reaver, and his three sons,
all of whom were hard "pets" who had
often laughed to scorne the advice and
entreaties of pious though very eccentric
minister, who resided in the same town.
1t happened one of the boys was bitten by
a rattlesnake and was expected to die,
when the minister was sent for in great
haste. On his arrival he found the young
man penitent and anxious to be prayed
with. The minister, calling on the family,
knelt down and prayed in this wise: go
Lord, we thank thee for rattlesnakes. We
thank thee because rattlesnake has bit
Jim. We pray thee send rattlesnake to
bite John: send one to bite Bill; and, o
Lord, send the biggest kind of rattle
snake to bite the old man, for nothing but
rattlesnakes will bring the Beaver family
to repentance"

My Mimi dear! to YOU:
oGn 1 contrariis-
The rule is old and true.
ne happiest of all lovers
was Ernst of Edelsheim.
ana why he was the happiest,
: III tell you in my rhyme.
one summer night he wandered
within lonely glade,
AId' crouched in moss and moonlight,
lie found sleeping maid.
The stars of midnight sifted
=, Above here sands of gold:
one seemed a slumbering statue.
30 falr and white and cold.
Far and white and cold she lay
Beneath the starry skies;
Rosy was her waking
Beneath the Ritter's ewes,
lie won her drowsy fancy,
lie bore her to his towers,
And swift with love and laughter
Flew mornings purpled hours.
But when thickening sunbeams
had drunk the cleaning dew,
A misty cloud of sorrow
swept Ger her eyes deep blue.
She hung upon the Ritter, S neck,
She wept with love and pain,
She showered her sweet warm kisses
Like fragrant summer rain.
" | am no Christian SOUL" she sobbed,
AS in his arms she lay;
" m half the day woman,
A serpent half the day
" And when from yonder bell-tower
Rings out the MONDAY chime,
Farewell! Farewell forever,
Sir Ernst of Edelsheim"'
"Ah! not farewell forever.'
The Ritter wildly cried,
81 will be saved or lost with thee,
My lovely Will Bride.''
Loud from the lordly bell-tower
Rang out the noon of day,
And from the bower of roses
A serpent slid away.
But when the midwatch moonlight
Was shimmering through the grove,
He clasped his bride thrice lowered
With beauty and with love.
The happiest of all lovers
Was Ernst of Edelsheim,-
His true love was serpent
Only half the time!

KEEP 1T TO YoURsELF.-1ou have trou-

Well, what of it, Keep it to yourself.

MEN OF FEW WoRDs.-Some men use
words as rifemen use bullets. They say
but little, The few words used go right
to the mark. They let you talk, and guide
with their hands and face, on and on, till
what you say can be answered in word
or two, and then they lance out sentence,
pierce the matter to the quick, and are
done. Your conversation falls into their
minds az a river into deep chasm, and is
lost from sight by its depth and darkness.
They will sometimes surprise you with a
few words that 60 to the mark like gun
shot, and then they are silent again, as il
they were reloading. Such men are safe
counsellGrs, and true friends where they
profess to be such. To them truth is more
valuable than gold, while pretensions is
too gauzy to deceive them. Words without
point to them, are like titles without merit,
only betraying the weakness of the blinded
dupes who are ever used as promoters of
other mems schemes.

IMPORTANCE OF READING.-No matter
how obscure the position in life of an in
dividual if he can read, he may at will put
himself in the best society the world has
ever seen. He may converse with all the
best writers in prose and poetry.-He may
learn how to live, how to avoid the errors
of his predecessors, and to secure blessings,
present and future, to himself. He may
reside in desert far away from the habi-
tations of man; In solitude, where no hui
man eye looks upon him with affection or
interest, where no human voice cheers him
with its animating tones-if he has books
to read, he can never be alone. He may
choose his company and the subject ofcon-
versation, and thus become contented and
happy, intelligent, wise, and good. He
thus elevates his rank in the world, and
becomes independent in the best sense of
the word, and first in Importance in the
department of school education.

The Paris Figaro gives the following
method of obtaining light instantaneously,
without the use of matches and without
danger of setting things on fire. Take an
oblong vial of the whitest and clearest
glass; put in it a piece of phosphosus about
the size of pea, upon which pour some
olive oil heated to the boiling point, filling
the vial about one third full, and then seal
the vial Theoretically. To use it remove
the cork and allow the air to enter the vial,
space in the bottle will then become lumin-
Gus, and the light obtained will be equal
to that of lamp. AS soon as the light
grows weak its power can be increased by
opening the vial and allowing a fresh sup
ply of air to enter. In winter it is some
times necessary to heat the vial between
the hands to increase the fiuidity of the oil.
Thus prepared the vial may be used for
six months. This continuance is now used
by the watchmen of Paris in all magazines
where explosive or infiammable materials
are stored.
-" You can read and write a little,I sup
pose?" asked an eminent educationalist
the other day, in the neighborhood of New
castle, England, of stalwart young col
lier. "Read an wroitev'-laughed the

To flatter people adroitly one must
always know three things: What they
really are, what they think they are, and
what they want other people to think they
are.

THE CITY HALL.

There was little in the way of interest
going on at the "Han" yesterday. In al
most all the departments business was dull.
The collection of taxes is proceeding slow
~. There is, however, q noticeable i'm
provement in appropriation certificates,
which occasions pleasant reflection to the
holders thereof. Heretofore they have been
engrossed by brokers, and. when paid, the
discount has been lost to the proper owners.
1t is understood that this evil will be cor
rected in future by their prompt payment.
The ordinance inaugurating the canine
war; creates no little excitement. The
street commissioner, however, is putting
forth every effort to have the carcasses
of the slain animals removed as soon as
possible. 1t will not be his fault if they re-
main on the street an hour after being
killed.
The canal along the bed of the old Car
rollton railroad is now nearly completed.
It affords an effectual drainage to the rear
part of the city above Toledano street.

A committee of three from each ward of

AN PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARLEY."-An
evening or two ago the writer attended .
genial family party to which few outside
friends were Hospitality welcomed. As the
hours grew apace the general hilarity OF a
social gathering seemed to disturb some
body in the neighborhood, and suddenly
the shrill whistle of policeman was heard
The members of the party who were not
posted were, as q matter of course, some
what alarmed, though feeling no conscious
ness of having in any way disturbed 1ne
propreties of life:
A quiet smile lurked on the lips OF tne
lady of the house, and from long expert
ence in the convolutions of our face, we De-
came satisfied there was no danger OF
visit to the police station on account OF tnas
particular whistle. Still, where did II come
from and what did it meant It was re-
peated, and was evidently from IN upper
apartment Of the house. N~s
An explanation came soon, from ono Of
the ladies, that it a was only Charley.
