After Dinner Maps.

An excellent aid to digestion is the
comfortable nap after dinner. Many
persons, particularly the middle-agcd
and elderly, allow themselves this real
indulgence, and the custom if not car.
ried to excess, is by many medical men
considered beneficial rather than other
wise, as by keeping the body in Il state
of quietude digestion is promoted and
assisted. .- .:H a
In Southern countries the mid day
sleep is almost universally taken and
wonderfully refreshed the frame ener-
waited and weakened by the entense
heat. 1t is, however, RECOMMENDED that
such sleep is not indulged in to too
great length, rs persons invariable
find that such prolonged slumber in the
day time causes them to wake dull, ir-
ritable and unfreshed; while most have
experienced, on having been accident
ally reused up a few minutes after abso-
lutte forgetfulness, sensation of light
ness and renewed vigor, unattended
by peevishness, or the least desire to
sleep again. ..I
Medical men, in sanctioning the in.
dulgence, particularly advise that it be
taken in a reclining posture, but by ne
means lying horizontally, the stomach
in the latter position, pressing on the
intestines,a and causing the blood to BE-
impelled to the head. Corpulent per-
sons, and those who have y tendency
to apoplexy, should be particularly
mindful of this point.

How a Fellow Feels When
He is Full of Strychnine.

Mr.. Harris, the well known assayer,
who resides at the lower end of town
came near being poisoned to death re-
Gently through taking a dose of me di-
cine for rheumatism. The settings in
the. bottom of the vial settled his case.
The following communication from him
received the other day tells the story ;
Last night 1 felt a pain in my knee,
caused by rheumatism. got up at 10
O'Clock and took dose of rheumatism
medicine prescribed by DR.. Toland, of
San Francisco. There was only one
dose left, and not at the time thinking
of the settlement at the bottom of the
vial, L took it. Half an hour after, as
l was laying in bed with q candle in
hand reading. | was struck senseless
and speechless. The candle fell on the
bed and 1 could neither stir nor cry,
out for second. Luckily the shock
terminated in time to let me put ont
the light, or the house would have been
consumed. More and stronger cOnvul-
sions then followed, and from symp-
tome knew that had taken strych-
nine. My wife brought some sweet
oil, of which | took two doses. But
great God. what a torment. Convul-
sion followed from IL to II O'Clock,
when the death throes set in. felt the
earth give way, and called my wife
to me. My hands were crossed, but 1
could not move them, nor any part of
nv body. l babe them all good bye,
and swooned, My wife sent the child
rem for a doctor, and DR.. Kirby came
about u, and found me yet alive and
somewhat rational, as the oil had its eff
feet. From then until this morning
had spasms every five minutes. l
could not stir hand nor foot, t,and any at
tempt to turn my head brought con-
yulsion. To tell what l suffered is
impossible, and | had given up all
thought of life, but soon began to re-
cover, and now-ten a. m..,-l am able
to write you this that you may warn
persons using this medicine to beware
of overtoses or settlings.-Gold Hi'

NIGHT.


The tlriftinx moonlight shimmers through
White et0uds in biilowy, broken riffs;
1t sparkses softly On the dew,
Md glimmers on the ocean drifts.
The shadewy trees with ssseied cone,

The moonlight shines on hill and dale;
- Fiecks With light the darkened river,
Glimmers seftly, sweet and pale;
Fails on trees with dreamy CULVER
Tail monarch, OF the ancient wood,
That have for ages darkiy stood.
The light falls sad on marble vault,
And sad On graves on dewy green;
1t shadows xughs that is fault,
Bat liYttens virtues, rarely seen.
1t dances ON the Ocean-crest,
Where foaming waves stop not 10 rest.
And trees stand dark againft the sky,
And sw ay with every passing breeze;
The silver stars come out on high,
And twinkle frost -clearO'er the trees,
Dark silence reigus, in depth Profound;
One shiuide1s at It's break by sound.
O perfect night Of calm repose;
of wild, weird beauty, crescent lit.
o night OF flowers, OF dewy rose,
And lilies white, thy embelm ft.
Onight Of rest, brOoding dove.
May angels wings guard thee with love.

A Letter from Gen. Roberts,
q. S. A., to Mr.. Bonner, on
Horse Epidemic. /

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Oct. 23,.'72.
Mr.. BoNNER,-In the Spring of 1868,
a disease broke out among my cavalry
horses at Fort Sumner, New Mexico,
that appears to me identical with that
now raging among horses in our cities,
and in very few days became an epi-
demic.
At first it defied all treatment, and
the great majority of horses attacked
by it died. On examining the throats
of the dead horses, found the lining
membrane of the larynx highly in
famed and thickened, and thick mu-
Gus puss filling it, causing suffOcation.
[ ordered all horses, on the first APP
pearance of the disease, to be thorough
ly rubbed between the lower jaws and
along the larynX down the neck with
spirits of turpentine, causing a very
severe internal irritation and blister.
saved every horse thus treated, and
in a very few days entirely broke the
distemper and checked the epidemic.
l do not doubt that thousands of
horses where this epidemic prevails, can
be saved by adopting this treatment. 1t
acts more quickly as a counter-irritant
than any other remedy l know, and re-
lieves the fever of the membrane of the
larynx in a very few hours. Besides,
turpentine is always at hand, and can
be more readily applied than any other
counter-irritanU. 1t should be thor
oughly rubbed in through the hair to
the skin, for distance of some twelve
Or fifteen inches, under the jaws and
down the neck of the horse. Immediate
ly over the larynx. The remedy is Sc
we're, and makes the skin sore for sever
al weeks, and for an hour causes great
suffering to the horse. But it acts
promptly and effectively and in my
judgment it will De found thesbest, and
perhaps the only cure for this fatal NAL
ady, causing such suffering and loss
among horses throughout the country.
My love of horses. induces ME to address
you, and to ask you to. give to this CONF
munieation such place in-your paper as
to reach the public In the most prompt
and general way, and stay one Of the
greatest misfortunes, now threading all
communities, and destroying by thous-
ands the noblest animal created for the
service of man.

The Art of Speaking and Wri.
ting.

A musician is not accounted an artist
who, although thoroughly versed in
tile science of music, knows nothing
practically of the art. 1t matters very
little to the listening world how much
he knows, if he can neither play nor
sing. A man may talk or write very
intelligently of picture and sculpture
without the slightest practical skill in
either branch of performance. So
there are multitudes of men with we'll
stored minds. who live without .access
to the public simply they are not ac-
complished in the arts of expression
by penand tongue. These meu havebeen
trained for public life. They have ex-
peeted to obtain livelihood by public
service. All their education has been
shaped to this and, yet they lack just
that one thing which will enable them
to do it.
SloyenIy writer's and awkward and
unattractiye speakers are turned out of
our colleges every year, almost by thous-
ands, whose failure in public life is as
sured from the first, because they have
acquired no mastery of the arts of ex-
preston. Men of inferior knowledge
and inferior mental culture surpaSs
them in the strife for public favor and
influence, by address and skill.
There is quality in all good writing
writing thoroughly adapted to its pur-
pose which we call "readasleness-
1t is hard TO define it, because in dif-
ferent productions it depends on differ
ent elemen We fin arlyle re dable
through quality which is Carlyle's
own-which he neither borrowed nor
has the ability to lend. Emerson and
Lowell and Holmes are readable be-
cause of their individual flavor. There
are ten thousand educated men in
America who are fairly capable OF COM
pretending these writers, yet who
would render them all unreadable by
undertaking to clothe their thoughts
and fancies in their own forms oflangu-
age. When this strong individual na-
vor is lacking-an element that belongs
mainly to genius-art must be more
thoroughly cultivated. No man OF
moderate ability and education can
possible make himself acceptable as
writer without skill in the arts oil ex-
pression which can be won alone
through patient study and long prac-
tice.
The clergyman, conscious of Christian
purpose and OF thorough culture, and
earnestly believing that he understands
the message OF his Master, finds with
grief that he is not an accepted teacher.
Let him learn, if it be not too late, that
it is his mode of presenting truth that
makes him impotent. Water tastes bet
ter from cut glass than from pewter,
and people will 20 where they are sefs-
ed from crystal. The man who cannot
say well that which he has to say may
satisfy conclude that he has no call 10
the pulpit.
There is no editor of a newspaper OF
magazine who is not constantly return
ing manuscripts full Of usefui maeeriS.'
which he can not publish because II Is
NOT readable. OF course the editor
would not hurt the pride ofthe writers
and in his politeness he simply says
their productions are not available:
They think the editor stupid, and he IS
content, so long as they do not accuse
him of ill-nature.

The night before the day of the funer-

them and spoke family. When the hor-

ladies' umbrellas are now made with
a gilt ring on the fernle to fasten to the
waist belt.
Ladies are wearing regular dickies,
stand-up collars, and scarfs tied i'll a

One inch square is the largest admis-
sible center for lace handkerchief.
Ornamental, but hardly useful.
The ''Lucca" knots for the breast and

Precious stones are so well initiated
nowadays, that lady can appear
decked in all the wealth of Ormus and

An accompaniment to a full toilette
this winter is a chatelaine consisting of
beautifully mounted ivory tablets and
