EXPLANATION OF BLUsHEs. An emo
tion-sometimes pleasurable, sometimes
painfull-takes possession of the mind,
and thereupon hot flush is felt, the
skin grows hot, and according to the in
tensity Of the emotion these changes are
confined to the cheek only, or extend to
the roots of the hair or all over
What is the cause of these changes /?
The blood is red and hot fluid the
skin reddens and grows hot because its
vessels suddenly contain an increased
quantity of this red hot fluid and its
vessels contain more because its small ar
teries suddenly dilate, the natural mod
crate contraction of their muscles being
superseded by state of relaxation
On the other hand, in many people ex-
treme terror causes the blood to grow
cold, and the face to appear pale and
pinched. Under these circu instances the
supply of blood to the skin is greatly di.
minished in consequence of an excessive
stimulation of the nerves of the small
arteries, which cause them to contract,
and so cut off the supply of blood.

WHY THE Color OF BLOOD CHANGES.
The cause of the change of color in
oiood-darkening when exposed to car
bonlc acid, AID Frightening when under
the influence OF oxygen-is not as yet
thoroughly understood. 1t is thought,
however, that the red corpusclea contain
ed In the blood are rendered fatter by
oxygen gas, while they are distended by
the action of carboDic acid. 1t is not
improbable that nuder the former cir
cumstances they may reflect the light
more strongly, and thus give a more
distinct coloration to the blood; while
under the latter, they may transmit more
light and so allow the blooa to grow dar-
ker and duller. Both of these theories
have able advocates.

The Assassination of the Stewards
BY T. s. VERDI, A. NJ, NJ. d.
AT the breaking out of the war we
find Mr.. Seward in the Cabinet, and al
his sons, William, Frederick, and Angus
tus, in the service of their country.
Frederick, man Of letters, was select.
ed by his father as his coadjutor in the
Department of State, with the position
of assistant secretary.
Augustus already held a commission
as paymaster in the regular Army. He
is graduate at West Point.
William left very lucrative business,
young wife and baby, and, as Colonel
of the Ninth New York Artillary, came
to brave the hardships of soldier. AT
the battle of Monocacy he distinguished
himself and was wounded, for which he
was raised to the rank of brigadier gen.
eral.
After the Colonel was wounded, the
hasty retreat of the national forces he
was left on the field. The rebels rush
ing wildly in pursuit, did not discover
that under simple blue blouse was an
officer of SO much importance. He
played "possum," as they say in the
Army, waited for them to get out OF
of sight, then caught stray mule,
mounted it, and came in the lines at
Washington. The simple and uncon-
spicuous uniform saved him, as it saved
many of our officers in campaigns. Had
it been otherwise, he would have been
discovered, and probably would have
ended his life IN the murderous South
ern prisons.
Colonel Seward-afterwar general
remained in service during the entire
war, resigned only on June 1, 1865.
In November, 1864, Frederick Seward
was in New York on official business.
On descending the stairs at the Astor
House, he fell and broke his right arm
at the elbow. He was consequently con-
fined to his house for several weeks, and
threatened with stiff arm for the rest
of his life. He, however. recovered the
perfect use of it, and resumed the duties
of his Office.
On the 9th of April. 1865, the Secre-
tary and Frederick Seward rode out to
pay an official visit to one of the foreign
ministers. As the carriage stopped in
front of the house the driver descended
from his box to open the carriage door
from some reason or other, probably
from an unconscious pull at the reins,
the horses started, dragging the driver.
They soon became unmanageable, and
few off at frightful speed. Doth Mr..
Seward and Frederick, seeing the dan
ger, jumped from the carriage. Freder-
ick was unhurt, but Mr.. Seward could
not rise; people rushed to his assistance,
and found that he was seriously injured,
the blood streaming from his mouth, and
bis right arm lying powerless at his side.
He was Immediately picked up and car
ried to his house, not block distant.
| found him in his bed, his face fright
fully bruised, his lower jaw completely
fractured, also, near the shoulder. He
was in great pain, and it was with diff
Guilty that he could be relieved. His
condition, considering his age, was peril
Gus in the extreme. Suffusion soon took
place, his right eye closed, and the right
side of his face became blue from the
confusion. His lower jaw was hanging
down and being fractured on both sides.

The DrOuth in June.

BY J. HAZARD HARTZELL.
The sun shot forth his fiery rays,
On restless seaand burning sand;
No showers swept through our heated days.
To cheer and beautify the land.
The earth was parched; the springs were dry
And withered were the grass and corn
The moon hung shining in the sky,
An empty sickle till the morn.
The roads were filled with dust and heat;
The streams all weakened in their flow;
And dews refused to touch the feet
OF hocks that fed in fields below.
The piow was followed in the field
The hoe was buried in the soil
But thirsty burrows could not yield
Their hidden wealth to earnest toll.
The farmer scanned his fields so bare.
And sighed that mercy was no more
Whilst famine whined, he thought in air.
And erouched around the opened door.
A storm cloud swept the sky's blue rim,
And spread aoove the burning plain;
The thunder rolled with fearful din.
And earth drank in the gladdening rain.

TIT FOR Tara lady with poodle
dog entered the moking car on west
ern train the other day, and when the
conductor endeavored to persuade her to
go into another car, she refused, saying
her presence would deter tn occu, ANS
from smoking. A gentleman, however,
took out cigar, and began to smoke,
When she wrenched it from his mouth,
exelaming " If there is any thing de-
test it is tobacco smoke The passen-
gers who had witnessed the affair were
convulsed with laughter, but the offend
ing smoker suppressed whatever emotions
may have been struggling for expression
in words or action, and maintained
throughout the same imrerturbable
gravity which had characterized him
from the first. Calmly rising from his
seat, he opened the window nearest him,
fastened it up and reaching over the seat
back, took the woman's poodle and threw
him out of the window and as far beyond
as possible, at the same time saying, "If
here is anything do hate it's a poodle
dog !"

No SABBATH.-In prize essay ON
the Sabbath, written by journeman
printer in Scotland, which for singular
power of language and beauty of ex-
preston has never been surpassed, there
occurs the following passage. Read it,
and then reflect for a while what 4
dreary and desolate page would this life
present if the Sabbath we're blotted out
from our calculation.
Yoke-fellow think how the abstrae.
tion Of the Sabbath would hopelessly
enslave the working classes with whom
we are identified. Think of the labor
going on In one monotonous and eternal
cycle, limbs forever on the rack, the fin.
gers forever on the strain, the brow for
ever sweating, the feet forever plodding,
the brain forever throbbing, the shoul.
ders forever dropping. the loiEs forever
aching, the restless mind forever schem.
ing.
Think of the beauty it would efface,
the merry-heartedness it would extin.
guish, of the giant strength it would
tame, OF the resources of nature it would
crush, of the sickness it would breed. of
the projects it would wreck, of the groans
it would extort, of the lives it would
immediate. and of the cherries graves il
would prematurely dig? See them toll
ing and moiling, sweating and fretting,
grinding and hewing, weaving and spin
ming, sirewing and gathering, moving
and reaping, razing and building, dig
ging and planting. striving and strug.
gling-in the garden and in the field, in
the granery and in the barn, in the fac
tory and in the mill, in the warehouse
and in the shop. on the mountain and in
the ditch, on the roadside and in the
wood, in the city and in the country. Oh
the sea and on the shore, in the day of
brightness and of gloom. What a pic
ture would the world present if we had
no Sabbath.

Intemperance.

There's a serpent that men cherish.
Heeding not that it may sting.
Thinking not their lives may perish
With one breath of this foul thing.
You may see its bright eyes cleaning.
See its form within the glass.
Think you that il looks enchanting2
Pause. and look. then quickly pass.
Stay not; for the demon tempter
May soon charm you with its eyes.
Heed it not. as low it whispers
OF the joy that it supplies.
Pass on quickly. do not linger.
Lest thou yield to its foul spell.
Lest thou know the fatal meaning
Of its power, alas too well.
Dost thou know this dread enchanter2
Look within the glowing wine.
Behold the death blows it is dealing
And fear lest such fate be thine.
