REST AND A1R.-Dr. Hall says, the best
medicine in the world, more efficient in the
cure of diseases than all the potencies Of the
materia medica, are warmth, rest, cleanliness,
and pure air. Some persons make it virtue
to brave disease, "to keep up" as long as they
can move foot, or crook finger, and it
sometimes succeeds but in others, the powers
of life are thereby so completely exhausted
that the system cannot recuperate, and ty-
phoid fever sets in and carries the patient to
a premature grave. Whenever walking or
working is an effort warm bed and cool
room are the very first indispensables to
sure and speedy recovery, Instinct leads all
beasts and birds to quietude and rest the
very moment disease or wounds assail the
system.

ORIENTAL MAGN1FIcENcE.-The Shah of
Persia, now on visit to England was previ-
ously received in Russia with the greatest
pomp When he first met the officers sent to
receive him, he was most magni6cently at
tired. He wore tunic of black cloth cover
ed in front with rubies, emeralds and dia-
monds of extraordinary size. His breast was
decorated with the Russian eaglein diamonds,
and epaulettes covered with the same resplen-
dent jewels. On his presentation to the Gar,
he wore a uniform covered from head to foot
with precious stones, in value not less than
S5,000,000. At the military review, the reins
and shabraque of his steed, with the other
head dress and trappings of the animal, we're
literally covered with diamonds.

as- A man in Wilmington has had lizard
in his stomach for twelve years, and much to
his relief it came up few days ago and crawl
ed out Of his mouth. The man says the
lizard was very much surprised at his account
of the events which have occurred since he
went down. 1t had heard nothing of the war,
nor of the death of Napoleon, nor of any of
those things. 1t was annoyed at the mans
dyspeptic condition, and came up to see the
doctor about it. This mans story should be
received with caution.

LIFE IN THE MooN.-As the moons surface
is so nearly perpendicular to her orbit, she
cannot properly be said to have any change
of seasons. During nearly fifteen ofour days,
the sun pours down its rays, unmitigated by
any atmosphere to temper them. To this
long torrid day succeeds night Of equal
length and polar cold. How strange the lu-
mar appearance would be to us! The disc
of the sky seems sharp and distinct. The
sky is black and overspread with stars, even
at midday. There is no twilight, for thesun
bursts instantly into day, and after a fort
nights glare, as suddenly gives place to night;
no air to conduct sound, no clouds, no winds,
no rainbows, no blue sky, no gorgeous tinting
of the heavens at sunrise and sunset, no del.
icate shading, no soft blending of colors, but
only sharp outlines of sun and shade.-&eeps.

s9- The spirit of true religion breathes
gentleness and affability; it is social, kind,
and cheerful, far removed from that gloomy,
illiberal superstition and bigotry which
cloud the brow, sour the temper, defect the
spirit, and impress morosity on the manners.

Poor G1RLs.-The poorest girls in the
world are those who have never been brought
up to work. Rich parents have petted them,
they have been taught to despise labor, and to
depend upon others for living, and are per.
fectly hel lpless. If misfortune comes upon
their friends, as it often does, their case is
hopeless. The most forlorn and miserable
women on earth belong to this class. 1t be-
longs to parents to protect their daughters
from this deplorable condition. They do
them great wrong if they neglect it. Every
daughter should be taught to earn her own
living. The rich as we'll as the poor require
this training. The wheel of fortune rolls
swiftly round-the rich are very likely to be-
come poor and the poor rich. Skill to labor
is no disadvantage to the rich, and is indis-
pensable to the poor. Well-to-do parents
must educate their daughters to work; no re.
form is more imperative than this.

ECLIPSE AT THE TINE OF THE CRUC1F1x-
1oN.-It is curious coincidence that the moon
was eclipsed on the generally received date of
our Saviour's cruci6xion, A. D. 80, April 3.
The phenomenon, however, could have had
no influence on the miraculous darkness which
overshadowed Jerusalem, "from the, sixth to
the ninth hour" when "the sun was darken.
ed" Mr. Hind has found that the moon
chad merged from the earths dark shadow
quarter of an hour before she rose at Jerusa-
lem (636 p. N.Y. but the penumbra continued
upon her disc for an hour afterward." The
penumbra visible during lunar eclipse is ex.
ceedingly faint, being only the shadow of the
earth's dark shadow, and it can scarcely be
recognized by the naked eye. 1t certainly
could have added nothing to the awful solem-
nifty of the scene which had just taken place.

say" The area of the six Middle States-New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia-is 137 ,464
square miles; showing that the area of Cali
fornia is 51,517 square miles larger than this
section.
The entire area of the twelve States form
ing the New England and Middle States, is
205, ,S12 square miles, showing that California
contains an area almost as great as the twelve
States. Its 1855 square miles larger than
the whole of Great Britain, the latter being
11O,S46 square miles, 1t would make twenty
four States the size of the State Of Massachu-
setts, leaving 2,7S1 square miles the area Of
California would make one hundred and forty
five States as large as the State Of Rhode Is
land.
"What is the size of your farm? ?" said
hard-fsted New England farmer, who had be-
come rich on two hundred acres, to Califor-
nian who had gone home on visit. "About
$4,000 acres" was the reply. He told the
truth, but he lost his reputation for veracity,

PUNcTUAL1TY.-Of the various kinds of
business in which thousands of men are en-.
gagged, there are many who believe that the
trials, perplexities and vicissitudes of their
business are peculiarly trying and really more
serious than in any other pursuit. The road
along which every active business man travels
is a rough and rugged path. beset with "walt-
a-bit" thorns, and full of pitfalls, which can
only be avoided by watchful care and circum'
specton. Each has his own burdens to bear,
and each generally thinks he has more than
his share.
Much of the annoyance and Disappointment
incident to most kinds of ofcommercial business
might be avoided if people would only keep
their promises, and promptly meet their en-
gagements. The man who owes bill, says:
"Call the first of the month, and you shall
certainly have the money. have some COL
lections due then, and shall surely not disap.
point you." So it goes. A relies on the prom
ise of B, and B depends on c, and 80 on
through dozen cases.

for no man living in Rhode Island has yet
been able to conceive of single farm of such

MAKEUP OF THE BoDY.-Supposing your
age to be fifteen or thereabouts, | can figure
you to dot. You have 100 bones and 5O0
muscles your blood weighs 25 pounds; your
heart is five inches in diameter; it beats
10 times minute, 4,200 times per hour, 4Oo,-
300 per day, and 32,732,2OO per year. At
each beat a little over two ounces of blood is
thrown out of it; and each day it receives and
discharges about seven tons Of that wonderful
fluid Your lungs will contain gallon of
air, and you inhale $4,000 gallons per day.
The aggregate surface of the air cells of your
lungs, supposing them to be spread out, ex,
ceeds 10000 square inches. The weight OF
your brain is three pounds; when you are
man it will weigh eight ouces more Your
nerves exceed 100000 in number. Your
skin is composed of three layers, and varies
from one.fourth to one eighth Of an inch in
thickness. The area of your skin is about
1,7OO square inches, and you are subjected to
an atmospheric pressure of fifteen pounds to
the square inch. Each square inch of your
skin contains $500 sweating tubes OF per.
spiratory pores, each of which may be likened
to little drain.tile one-fourth Of an inch,
making an aggregate length of the entire sur
face of your body of POI, ,166 feet, tile ditch
for draining the body almost forty miles long.

A NOTED LAWSUIT SETrLED.-During the
war Geo M. Delaney Of Augusta, substitute
broker, was arrested on a charge Of defraudng
the government in some way connected with
soldiers bounties, taken to WASH ineton tried
by court-martial, and was sentenced to a fine
of $45 900 and ten years imprisonment in the
State Prison at Concord, N H. While IN
prison he made an agreement through his wife
with Col; d. Alden of Augusta to procure his
pardon, by paying him $1,000 Government
bonds to that amount were delivered by his
wife, she taking a receipt for them. Alden
made strong effort at considerable expense
to secure his pardon, but did not succeed until
a general order was issued for the release of
this class OF prisoners, under which Delaney
was discharged, after being in prison a little
over year. His wife then brought an action
of trover against Alden for the bonds, on the
ground that he did not effect the release of De-
laney and fully recovered the amount with in
terest, the court holding no equitable claim of
Alden could be allowed in that form of action.
Alden paid the money to Mrs. Delaney's coun-
sci Joseph Baker, esq, of Augusta. Delaney,
who had become alienated from his wife, sued
Baker for the money, alleging that it belonged
to him instead of his wife, This action has
been tried twice. involving several days, time
at each trial, but the jury disagreed, eleven OBJ
stinate inrymen standing out in favor of the
plaintiff in both instances. Wednesday
morning the case was to come to trial again,
but private settlement was finally effected
and the case disposed of.-Kennebcc Journal.

THE Ellsworth american does not share
the enthusiasm of lis Washington County con-
temporaries respecting the Shore Line Rail-
road enterprise. The directors Of the Com
pany are asking the towns on the line to sub
scribe eight per cent. of their valuation to the
enterprise with the idea that this sum will
complete 8 IL feet guage road The Ameri-
can thinks the sum will not prove sufficient
to complete the enterprise. 1t also says that
the fate of the Knox & Lincoln Railroad con
vlnces it that line from Bucksport to Calais
OF tne narrow gauge, operated independently
can never pay the interest on its bonds. 1t
believes the line must be operated by some
other road connecting with it which must
help to construct it, and it must be of the usu-
al gauge of the system of roads with which
it connects. 1t advises the directors not to
push the enterprise while railroad securities
are in so bad odor.
