DRINKING WATER.--Drinking wine is a
habit so is drinking spirits, ale, cider, coffee
and water. The last is thought a necessity
but to drink much is habit. Some people
drink little, not because their constitutions re-
quire less than others it is their habit
These people never perspire so much as those
who drink more. The more that is drank,
the more water passes away, or the system
would suffer. AS it is, the strain effects
1t. The skin, the kidneys, bowels, lungs, are all
drawn upon. The result is, as may be natur-
ally expected, exhaustion. For this reason
the man who drinks much water, particularly
during the summer and in the hottest wealth
er, is less able to endure fatigue. The water
is of no benefit to him-that is the excess
1t must pass away and this requires an effort
of the system, which is the sweating process.
Had he not the excess of water, he would not
have perspired so it would not have been
there for the system to expel. BY the habit
of drinking so much false thirst is created.
We should drink only what is needed. The
habit of drinking more win soon be overcome.
and the person will feel much stronger, and
more capable of bearing fatigue. In winter
little fluid is needed, beyond what our food
furnishes !; in summer, some more, but not
much.--Country Gentleman.

THE AIR WE BREATHE.

Much attention is now being paid to the
characteristics Of the atmosphere in various
localities and under diverse circumstances
Analyses show that air in open and exposed
localities varies in the amount of oxygen which
/ it contains from 20.4 to 21.0 per cent. The
most favorable localities, as on the heaths Of
Scotland, show the former, while it is neces-
sary to 90 underground into mine to find the
latter. Well ventilated mines show about TO-

AMERICAN IRISH and AMERICAN
GERMANS. atft

The question before us is, how, under these
America increase relatively to each other. 1t
is undoubtedly an almost universal opinion
throughout the Eastern States, an opinion,
moreover, which extends in considerable de-
gree over the entire country, that the Irish ex-
hibit much the higher degree of fecundity.---
There may be persons whose opportunities
for observation have been such as to persuade
them Of the contrary there may be commu-
mites where the opposite view prevails /; but
the general belief is quite clearly what has
been expressed.
1t is easy to explain this belief. The Irish
immigration was the first to reach us. Tie
accounts so frequently repeated, in connect
ion with the Famine, Of the prodigious in
crease Of this people, have combined with the
observations made by our own citizens in con-
trasting the increase in the families of these
foreigners with the rate prevailing among the
native population, to give this opinion almost
the currency and authenticity of proverb.-
An opinion thus generally dihused is not
soon or easily displaced from the popular
mind. The Germans came later; they went
largely to other portions of the country,
where the rate of increase in the native popu-
lation was more rapid than in the commune
ties to which the Irish tended, where conse-
quently, the contrast between native and for
eign habits has been less striking, and where,
moreover, speculations on the laws of popu-
lation were not much INDUCED in. Hence it
is that the belief first formed in respect to
this matter has so generally held its place,
and that it is so common to speak of the in
crease of our Irish citizens as transcending
that of any other portion of our population.
1t is the object of this paper to show that the
belief is mistaken one that the Irish among
us as they have placed themselves and as they
are occupying themselves, are not contribut-
ing to the general increase Of the population
in degree exceeding that of the American
Germans on the contrary, that while, in the
absence of direct or positive proof, abso-
Lutte assurance cannot be reached, the proba-
bilities incline, and incline strongly to the
greater fecundity of the latter clement
scri6ner's Monthly.

The Memphis Presbyterian tells the follow
ing good story travelling in a buggy
alone not long ago, in going to one of his ap-
pointments one of our good brethren in the
Prcsbytery Of Memphis overlook a tramp
with his carpet bag in his hand. The roads
were muddy, and he was just at the time
about entering muddy bottom. With the
polteness for which he is noted, he asked the
pedestrian ian entire strangely il he would
not take seat in the buggy until, at least,
they had crossed the mud and mire. The in
vitation was readily accepted, and the CONVEX
sation for a time was free and easy, about
things ordinary and general. Presently,
however, the good brother, with q view to
stranger if he was ready to die. Not know
ing the character of the person who had invi-
ted him to seat with him, and misapprehen-
ding his meaning, and suspecting foul play,
he waited not to reply, but sprang from the
buggy Immediately and ran for life through
slush and water. The cleric brother, wishing
to assure the stranger that he meant no harm,
called to him at the top of his voice to stop.
But this only fastened his speed, and like
scared hare he ran until beyond hearing and
sight In his hasty fight he left his carpet
sack, which our brother now has in his pos
session, being the richer for his faithfulness
by the addition of a coarse shirt, pair of
threadbare trousers and u little backer' -
