MENTAL RECREATION. Mental diversion,
mental exhileraton, mental release from the
cares and business and worries of life, are
not only essential to healthful thought and
healthtul condition of the mind but they
materially promote bodily vgor and physical
well being. Amusements should more
largely enter into American family life than
they now do; it is the absence of it to too
great an extent which leads to many social
evils, to many habits and practices which
ruin the health and the morals of our sons
and our daughters in a great many cases.
If boys and girls, from fifteen and upwards,
do not find amusements at home, especially
during the long Winter evenings, they sigh
for places where eyhileration can be found;
the sons for the street.-the daughters for the
dance, for the theatre, for Wis ting those of
their associates whose home are more lively.
Young people en- not be expected to have
books and newspapers always in their hands,
or set demurely by the family fireside by
The hour, in hemmnig and stitching and
knitting.
Games and pastimes should be more freely
introduced into our families; there should be
more off hand visiting, of informal calls,
where one neighbor can drop into another
nelghhor's house after dark, and spend an
hour ortwo in unresirained, social intercourse,
without form or ceremony for two or three
nights in the week; thus giving air, exercise
and recreation.

LOVERS LEAP,

Come all you gallant Auburnites,
pray you all draw near,
And as young fancy takes her flight
She courts a spot that's dear.
There is fond remembered place
Adown hill that S steep,
And often there sweet maidens grace
They call it ''lovers' leap"
No prettier place could e'er be found
In Spring with verdure decked--
The wild flowers blossom all around,
There hopes are built and wrecked;
And as | look, my wand ring eye
Will rest on Pilot peak,
And then my bosom heaves sigh
To gaze on Lovers Leap.
The wild birds sing their carols low
Der this DEAR cherished spot;
All Nature seems i'll pleasant glow,
And worldly cares forgot;
The winding rlll rolls rippling by,
The rocks with spray to deck,
Anon my bosom heaves a sigh
To gaze on Lovers Leap.
Old Worldly Wisdo1n,you go laugh
Beneath your college dome.
Remember that woman's frown
Can shake monarch throne.
Come nearer then, my futt'ring dove
Thou God of day, go sleep!
Give me one hour with my true love
Way down at Lovers Leap.

THE ftSINX DAY.

The day is cold, and dark and dreary;
1t rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moulderng wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall
And the day is dark and dreary
Ny life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
1t rams, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the Wondering Past
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast
And the days are dark and dreary.

Behind the cloud is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of ALL
Into each life some rain must fall.
Some days must be dark and dreary.

following sensible remarks upon an i'm.
portant subject:
Study out of school hours is once
more receiving little attention, but not
half SO much as it deserves. We protest
against the practice as injurious to both

growth. We do not want 10 see or hear
of precocious children; we want no such
hot house pressure; and if, perchance,
some boy or girl has an inclination TO
oyerwork, let it be checked instead of
encouraged. This precocity seldom
reaches mature life; the lamp burns
brightly for while, but soon exhausts
itself. II parents and teachers would be
content with reasonable progress in
studies-would think that a child's body
is OF some Importance rs well as the
mind; would realize The power in the old

ways, that he would like 10 bo his friend
When the season for muzzling came,
Sothern put n muzzle upon jack and took
him out for Il walk. Somewhere near
Union Square he met Florence, and as
the twain stood in conversation Florence
noticed that whenever Jack applied his
nose to that Of another dog, the latter
bowling down the street, leaving tho
terrier very much aston:shed. Florence
could not understand it,and finally asked.
"Ned, what is the matter with Jack,

"Oh, nothing said Sothern. except
that before | started out fixed a couple
of cambric needles in his muzzle so that
they stick out about an inch beyond the

Well. the result was that Jack was
afraid to 90 near any other brute of his

Take a strong rope, and fasten il 10

rope attach stick three feet long, con.

inches above the head. Let n person

three feet apart, and swing very mod
erately at lirst-perhaps only bear the

dead, and then he married r second one.
Two months alterward The first wife ap-

q report OF her death to be circulated to
get rid OF her husband, but on hearing of
his speedy marriage she couldn't stand it,
and SO came back to plague him. The
second wife then instituted q suit Tor di-
vorce, pending which the first wife died.
Supposing the second wife had got her
decree OF divorce, ho married third
wife. But the lawyer of the second vile.

cree in the case, and on the unfortunate
husbands third marriage. wife number
two discontinued her suit, and claimed
the luckless creature tor her own. This
dsheartened him, and he attempted 10
run away. But proceedings were insti
