An old person has feeble circulation in
the feet and legs Nothing contributes
more to relieve the difficulty 10 breathing,
and the chronic cough and other troubles
about the head and chest, 50 common among
old people, than keeping the feet and legs
warm.
Mr. S, bank officer, had been sitting
in the bank nearly fifty years. He came
for some advice about short breath, wheel
ing aud cough.
=" Your feet aud legs are very cold"
Yes but how did you know il ?"
by these troubles about your throat
and Gngs There is congestion too much
blood there. If the legs and feet were
warm, if they had their share of blood
this congestion about the upper parts would
cease, and this short breath, Wheeling and
cough would be relieved at once"
"iIow shall | make my legs and feet
warm? wear as much clothing about
my lower extremities as | ever did, aud
yet they are like icicles."
81 will tell you secret An old man
with low vitality must have two, three OF
or four times as much dress about the leg,
and feet as a young mai with high vitality
Now, you must put on two pairs of thick,
knit woolen drawers, very thick stockings,
and broad, strong shoes. Your legs will
be warm enough, perhaps. If not, then
put on pair Of wash-leather drawers over
the knit wooden ones. With thick pants
over these you will probably be warm. In
some cases even this will not keep the
limbs warm. But they must be kept warm.
So you must add, aud keep adding till they
are warm. This is the way you do with
your body why not the same with your
legs2 You will thereby save your throat,
lungs and head from many common troub-

with. The man was absent from home, aud
his wife refused to lend the wagon.
You are perfectly right, madam" said
the driver, -" but must have it, shall
take it, and settle with your husband for it
when he returns
He took it, and brought it back in good
order. When he came to settle for it, the
man met him full Of anger and thunderou,
with rage. After some expostulations he
said:
l have come to settle with you for the
wagon"
Well, you shall" said the man
what shall pay you for the use Of it
an hour or two ?"
You shall pay me $50"

Attentions to old People.

One cold winter morning, when tn,
sleet froze as it fell, rendering the walking
dangerous even to the young and strong
my attention was drawn towards man
whose age and inirmity made it almost i'm
possible for him to get along, We were
both walking in the same direction, but he
was upon the opposite side of the street
| watched him with anxiety fearing every
moment that be would miss his footing.
Presently beautiful young girl, richly
dressed, came down the street. Just a.
she was about to pass the old man, he slip,
ped, and would have fallen il she had moi
stretched forth her hand to save him. She
stopped few moments to talk with him
then taking his arm, turned out Of her way
and led him home. What contrast they
presented The young girl in her elegant
attire, and the aged man in his worn-out
garments. 1t was a beautiful picture, al
eloquent sermon upon the respect which
the young owe to the aged.
afterwards found that the old gentle
man had once held high position, hui
through no fault Of his own had lost tn,
whole of bis property, aud was ther
very poor and almost blind. How be mus
have priced the kidd attention Of the young
girl, now that he was forsaken by the
friends of bis more prosperous days.
Perhaps we all need to be reminded Of
the Bible Injunction; "Thou shalt rise VI
before the hoary head, aud honor the face
Of the old man. Selected
