RRAIN WORRY.

u Many Of us pray1to be delivered from sud-
den death, and why do we worry ourselves
into it ? II we dc, can We help il? To most of
us it is not givea to choose our lives, to avoid
the rough places, to gently shoulder to one
side disagreeable facts. We must climb over
the rocks though they hurt us sore. and the
difficulties, however they annoy, must be met
with brain fret aud wear until they are con
'quered or we have passed them: They are as
real, living annoying as any tangible acheor
pain could be 40 ,hruisipg and irritating as
the peas ia the shoes Of the pilgrims of old.
Nervous health is one thing, and moral
health and purely physical health is quite
another and different thing CALM and steady
mental york is conducive to long life; but
nervous, emotion, mental work that is con-
slant urging, and, at the same time, is an TN
Ringing OF the even tenor Of the mind, eats
away the brain faster than any mental labor,
no matter how hard, that is systematic. AS
men do not really die Of heart disease as Of
ten as supposed, but of apoplexy, or congss-
ton of the lungs, SO they do not die of brain
work, but of brain worry. Scott died of it !;

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA,

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, \
OFFICE AUDITOR OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS,
RICHMOND. VA, Nov. IT,. 1878. }
Rev. Wm. FL. Rnfaer, Dear sir 81 have
carefully examined the question you submit
ted some days ago in regard to the compensa-
ton Of township assessors for extending upon
their books the county and district school
tax, as required by law: that is, whether it
shall be paid by the state or county and will,
with pleasure, give you my views upon the
subject as briefly as eau.
FIRST. lam positively certain that the charge
for performing this service is not legitimate
one against the Commonwealth. Indeed, so
sure am | Of the correctness Of his opinion,
that can never consent to pay for any such
service out of the state Treasury
Second.,I am equally clear that the charge
is proper one against the country, for, first
il is exclusively u county matter, and, second,
being county matter. the compensation to
the assessor is provided for by our revenue
laws Thus, the compensation of assessors
for extending county and township levles
shall be determined by the board of superv-
sors Of each county, and be paid out Of the
county treasury See Revenue Laws, page
81, section II, at the end. It is true that
this provision is not found in the general law
rslating to our public free school. Indeed,
there is no provision in that act which pre-
scribes the mode Of compensatiog these Off
GERS. So that. if the genera. provision which
I have quoted does aot apply, there is, | sub
NIT, DO law which makes any provision for
them. Bot I think it perfectly clear that
the provision is applicable the levy by the
supervisors of a county for school tax is as
much county levy as levy for building
bridge, and as the latter is beyond all doubt
governed BY tas section | have quoted. it is
difficult to see why the former should not
be.
Third A further reason why the charge
for making the extension referred to should
be paid by the country, and not by the State,
arises from the fact that the fftyeighth Sec
ton Of the act approved March &c, 1872, re-
quires the assessor to extend the levy for
school tax upon'such of their books as are re-
turned to the treasurer of the county; it is not
required to be extended upon the books re-
turned to this Office You will please note
the words have underscored. [ think this
section places the matter beyond all eontro'
versy. For the amount Of compensation
could never be ascertaned at this Office in
the absence of the amount of work done, as
shown by the extensions aforesaid, which as
| have already stated, are not required to be
made upon the books returned TO this DEPART
ment; the compensation being commission
of two aud one-half per centum upon the a
mount assessed
For these reasons am very clearly Of o.
pinion that the assessors should be paid by
the counties for the work done by them in ex=
tending the school tax.
am very truly yours,
VIM. Il. TAYLOR,

A curious phenomenon has recently occur
red in Ireland-tbe bursting Of the bog Of
Dunmore-concerning which Mr.. w. La Peer
Trench, after visiting the locality, writes the
following to the London Times;
DUNMoRE, October, 1873.
On the LIST instant the farmer occupying
the farm on Gorrable stream nearest the bog
was digging his potatoes, when he suddenly
observed brogn mass approaching him.--
He left the spade in the ground and went for
the peighbols. On his return the mas had
half covered his potato-feld and completely
hidden his field of corn, with the exception Of
few shock which happened to be situated
upou knoll or rising ground, and where
thew still remaip and island in the middle Of
a scene Of desolation.
This was but the commencement. Since
then the bog has continued to advance in a
rolling mass down the valley toward the vii
lage Of Dunmore. burying on its way three
farm houses, and covering nearly two hun
dred acres Of arabic, aod pasture land, in
soue places to depth Of six feet Tho I'M
fortunate occupants Of these three farms
have been turned by this melancholy visita-
ton Of Providence, tarmless and homeless
with their families on the world. s
At Dunmore a small bridge has been re.
moved near the junction Of the Carrabel
stream with the Dpnmore river to afford re-
lief to the lanas 10 the valley, and the bog
laden torreot is being discharged into the
river. The worst may be said to be over,
but the dischargipg powers Of the river will
be materially affected by this influx Of solid
matter. The source of this disaster qresen-
ted a wonderful appearance. The subsistence
4 at the dscharging point cannot be less than
thirty-five feet The extent Of the bog af-

To lay down any general rules is impossl-
BILE, because constitutions vary infolteiy.-
One man requires twice as much sleep as an
other; one man can do work before break
fast, when another fnds it better to sit up at
night, and so on.s A few practical rules will
be learned by practice. The Lancet, Tor ex--
ample, in a sensible paper on, the subject, re-
marks upon tie importance for men who
work at night Of having a white, powerful,
aud steady light concentrated upon their pa
per; Aickeripg and, ditfused light being one
of the most serious causes Of brain irritation
Good food, with moderate supply of stimu-
lants, and final pipe before turning into
bed, is comfortable Recommendation Of the
same authority; while, of course, excess aof
tobacco and alcohol is a constant cause of the
incapaoity for sleep which is often attributed
to oyerwork. The rule is, in short, that a
man should take care that he gets good sleep
aud Keeps his digestion in order A little
unprejudiced observation of his own symp-
tons will teach man Of ordinary sense how
to keep himself in health; aud, by judi
cious arrangements Of his time and habits, he
will find that he can do as much work with
perfect impunity as will serve him,i he so
pleases, with an admirable excuse for COM
mitting suicide and become text for lead
ing articles It is not overwork that should
be denounced, but the bad habits for which
work is made to serve as an excuse
Eat too much drink too much, smoke too
much, and do everything in hurry and at
the wrong time, and five hours day may
send you to an early grave Show little
common sense, and, without injuring your
health, you may be as voluminous an author
as Voltaire, or do as much legal or Official
work as the most industrious minister or bar
ristes Of the day, and see your children
children, and laugh at the degeneracy of the
rising generation in the twentieth century,
