The London MIX Journal says, on
the authority of Dr. Benjamin Clarke,
that in the East Indies warm milk IS
used to a great extent as specific fof
diarrhRa. A pint every four hours
viii check the most violent dlarrnoea,
stomach-aehe, incipient cholera and
dysentery. The milk should never
be boiled, but only heated sufficiently
to be agreeably warm, not too hot TO
drink. Milk which has been boiled
is unfit for use. The writer gives
several instances to show the value OF
this substance in arresting this disease,
among which Is the following:
:. 1t has never failed in curing IN SIX
or twelve hours, and have tried 1t,
should think, fifty times. l have also
given il to a dying man who had been
subject TO dysentery eight months,
latterly accompanied by one continual
diarrhaa. and il acted on him like
charm. In two days his diarrhRa
was gone, in three weeks he became
hale, fat man, and now nothing that
may hereafter occur will ever shake
his faith in hot milk. A writer also
communicates to the Medical Times
ind GAZETTE a statement of the value
of milk in tWenty-six cases OF ty-
phoid fever, in every one of which
its great value was apparent. 1t checks
diarrhaea, and nourishes and cools the
body. People suffering from disease
require food quite as much as those IN
health, and much more so in certain
diseases where there is rapid waste Of
system. Frequently all ordinary food
in certain diseases is rejected by the
stomach, and even loathed by the pa
tient, but nature, ever benefcent, has
furnished food that in all diseases Is
beneficial-in some directly curative.
Such a food is milk. The writer IN
the journal last qoted, DR.. Alexander
Yale, after giving particular obserVa-
tions upon the points above mention
ed, viz Its action in checking diar-
rhGa, its nourishing properties, and
it's action in cooling the body, says
sWe believe that milk nourishes IN
fever, promotes in sleep, wards of
delirium, soothes the intestines, and,
in fine, is the sine qua non in typhoid
fever" We have also lately tested
the value of milk in scarlet fever, and
! learn that it is now recommended by
the medical faculty in all cases of this
often very distressing children's dis
ease Give all the milk the patient
viii take, even during the period OF
! the greatest fever; it keeps up the
strength of the patient, acts well upon
the stomach, and is in every way a
blessed thing in this sickness.

RUsTICUs IN URBE.

"A dusty, sun-browned stranger
stalked into one of the principal ho-
tells early on last evening, laid a big
black Valise, which had perhaps made
quite smart appearance in its youth,
carefully beside him, and with hand
to public writing,
scrawled with great exertion the name
of Lorenzo Smith upon the register.
HsWilI you have some supper. Mr..
Smith ?" asked the clerk.
" Well, no, / guess not" returned
the rustic gentleman. E'The folks at
home put up good bit of grub, and
thar's enough left in this yer carpet
bag for supper, l reckon"
The clerk smiled, and the country
man and his corpulent carpet-ba
were shown to their room. Country
was somewhat dazed at its magnifi-
cence, but he was hungry, and placing
the satchel on the comfortable, he
drew forth large chunk of boiled
ham, numerous pieces of cold chicken,
several enormous doughnuts, and a
dozen hard boiled eggs. He was
about to absorb the meagre repast in
to his half-starved system, when his
eye caught sight of the "Rules for
Guests" tackled upon the door. He
got up and read them aloud. He
came to the last one, and read "Meals
in rooms charged extra" He read it
again, this time slowly. "Wall, I'll
be concerned u he calculated, and
turning to the table, in an instant he
had removed the ham, doughnuts,
and all into the omniverous carpet
sack, and in another instant he was
down in the Office, where he accosted
the clerk with, 81 see, stranger, yer
sign up there in my room says meals
in rooms charged extra"
"Yes,,, said the clerk, who, reeog-
nized the customer of few minutes
ago, and could scarcely repress his RI
sibles, zone dollar extra" "Wall, I'll
be concarned p yawned the verdant,
"I guess the expenses of hot meal
won't be. much more" And beckon-
ing TO a bell-boy, he called out, ''Hyar
boy, show me the way to the kitchen. !"
and moment later he was in the
hands of the Chicago Times.

AN ELOQUENT PASSAGE.

Stand, o Mani upon the hill top
in the stiffness of the evening hour
and gaze not with joyous, but with
contented eyes, upon the beautiful
world around theei See where, broad
est and stillest, the wave expands to
the fullest smile of the setting sun
and the willow that trembles on the
breeze-and the oak that stands firm
in the storm are reflected back, peace
fol both, from the clear glass of the
tidesi See where, begirt by the gold
of the harvests, and backed by the
pomp of thousand groves-the roof
of the town bank, noiselessly, in the
calm glow of the sky. Not a sound
from those abodes floats in discord to
thine ear-only from the church tow
er, soaring high above the rest, per-
haps, family heard through the still
ness, sWells the note of the holy bell,
Along the mead low skins the swal-
loW-on the wave, the silver circlet,
breaking into spray, show the sport of
the fish. See the earth, how serene,
though all eloquent of activity and
life! See the heavens, how benign,
though dark clouds by yon mountain
blend the purple with the gold !
Gaze contented, for God Is around
thee-not joyous, for Evil is the shad-
ow of Good! Let thy soul pierce
through the veil of the senses, and thy
sight plunge deeper than the surface
which gives delight to thine eye. Be-
low the glass of that river the pike
darts OH his prey; the circle in the
wave, the soft plash among the reeds
are but signs of Destroyer and vic
tim. In the ivy round the oak by the
margin, the owl hungers for the night
which shall give its beak and its tai
ons living food for its young and the
spray of the willow trembles with the
wing of the redbreast whose bright
eyes see the worm ON the sod. Canst
thou count, . Mani all the cares-an
the sins-that those noiseIess roof
tops conceal? With every curl of
that smoke to the sky a human
thought scars as dark, human hope
melts as briefly. And the bell from
the church-tower that to thy ear gives
but music, perhaps knells for the dead.
The swallow but chases the moth, and
the cloud that deepens the glory of
the heaven and the shadows on the |
earth, nurses but the thunder that |
shall rend the grove and the storm I
that shall devastate the harvest. Not |
with fear, not with doubt, recognize, |
0 Mortal, the presence of evil in the |
world. Hush thy heart in the hum
bleness of awe, that its mirror may /
reflect as .serenely the shadows as the
light. Vainly for its moral dost thou
gaze on the landscape, if thy soul put
no check on the dull delight of thy
senses. Two wings only raise thee to
The summit of truth-Where the cher
lb shall comfort the sorrow, where
he seraph shall enlighten the Joy
Dark as ebon spreads the one wing,
white as snow CLEANS the other
as thy reason when it de-
cends into the deep-exulting thy
aith, it springs to the day star.

PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR FISH
ERMEN
on Mr. Beeeher,s ChrIstian Unioll.l ]

From Mr.. Beecher's Christian Uni0i.l
1. Find out if there is any fish in
the river to which you are going; if
so. get some one who knows the wa
ter to show you where the fish lie,
and when he shows them to you, do
not show yourself to them.
2. Don't imagine, if the fish does
not dart away that he has not seen
you; on the contrary, he is very like
ly deyotirg his whole attention to
you, and preparing TO start the mo-
ment danger is Imminent.
g. If you are fishing with fly,
and you pass it three times over him,
and he refuses it, you need not wait
any longer; he has seen your line OF
invitation, and does not intend to
come.
4 If you are above a fish when
you hook him, get below him as soon
as you can for if you pull him one
instant against the stream, and he is a
heavy fish, he will break his hold.
). Never throw long line when a
short one will answer.
6. Never mind what is said about
"laying your fish until he is tired )"
put him in pour basket as soon as you
can.
Z. Remember that everything de-
pends upon the way you begin your
acquaintance. If you can prevail on
a fish to go down the stream a little
way with you, you will afterwards
have no difficulty in persuading him
to let you have the pleasure of seeing
him to dinner.
To these excellent maxims | beg
leave to add one of Mr.. Stoddart's es-
pecially intended for bachelors, young
or old: "Never fall in love with a
woman by the water side; there are
situations in which every woman
looks an angel.
