Gilders are subject to mercurial af-
fections. They suffer from giddiness,
asthma, and very frequently from par
tial paralysis, which often induces pc
culiar kind of stammering. As might be
supposed, they frequently suffer from
unpleasant ulcers in the mouth, which
is true salvation.
Miners in the quicksilver mines suffer
from vertigo, palsy, and commissions,
and survive generally but few months.
Pottery-glaziers, who use lead largely,
suffer condition very similar to that
described above, with the addition of
dropsy, loss of teeth, and enlarged
spleen. Palsy of the limbs, especially
OF the arms, is common effect of the
poison from lead. Consumption is COM
mon among these workers.
Glass-blowers are the victims Of those
affections produced by the sudden vicis-
STUDIES of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
various infammations. Their eyes are
very weak, while they are generally thin
and delicate.
Stone-cutters inhale the sharp parti-
cles, which are apt to produce diseases
of the lungs.
lIOlH illt SdStS uls-
engaged and from excessive moisture.
They suffer very much from labored
breathing have wan, pallid visages, and
digest badly.
Filers are short-lived Whether the
metal be brass or iron, the fine sharp
particles make their way into the
lungs, where they develop disease,
sometimes asthma, sometimes consump-
ton.
Workers in wool and cotton breathe
close, unchanged atmosphere, while
their lungs are filled with the irritating
dust of the material upon which they
work.
All indoor occupations, with the pres
ent imperfect notions about ventilation,
are more or less mischievous. Outdoor
occupation-farming, gardening, and
other similar employments-at1ord, with
an intelligent comprehension of the food
question, the best opportunity for health
and long life. Driving a stage or ex-
press wagon, with frequent leaving for
the delivery of packages, travelling
through the country on foot as book
agent-these and similar employments
are perhaps not inferior to farming and
gardening

When Won have nothing more 10 sav

When you have nothing more to say
to woman who is crying, it is best to
go away. So Bertram went.
When he parted from Graham that
night he said By-the-bye, / have
something to give you, old fellow. "
And opening his pocket-book he pro-
duced the little undirected note, and
handed it over.
On the following morning Millicent
had another caller; an unexpected one
this time.
81 have got your note" said Graham,
seeing that she looked startled. what
may hope ?"
My note !"
Graham held it in his hand open. She
took it and read

hasty-once, she said, blushing over
neck and forehead "and if so, / am
sorry for any unjust expressions / may
have used.
She could not think what else to say
1t did well enough.
But" said AIillicent, after an hours
conversation, "you were very proud
yourself, you know, Harry, not to make
any appeal to the trustee people to ex-
plain. And though he did not think
so, he owned it; just as he would have
owned anything just then.
He did not go to Africa to shoot goril-
las; he stopped at home and married
the heiress. He is very fond of Ber-
tram but | do not think his wife likes
his friend so well as she processes. That
little scene was too humiliating.

The Arlington Estate.

Extract from a Washington letter
at is learned from an interview with
Mrs. Robt. E. Lee, that during her visit
here she did not ask to have the Airing
ton estate, now covered with soldiers
graves, restored to her, but that she
expects reasonable remuneration. She
says that Gen. Lee never owned an acre
of it. When Mrs. Lees father died, he
made in his will an obligation that all
the slaves belonging to the estate should
be set free after the expiration of five
years. The time of their manumission
came on in 1863, and right in the very
height of the war, Gen. Robt. +. Lee,
as the executor of the will, summoned
those slaves together at convenient
point within his lines, and gave them
their free papers and passes through
the Confederate lines to gowhither they
would. This fact has not been general
ly known"

Patrons of Husbandry in England.

A letter has recently been received by
Mr.. William Saunders, the founders of
the Oranges, from Edward Owen
Greening, the well-known labor re-
former and agitator of England. Mr.
Greening is the Secretary of an organi-
cation known as the Agricultural and
Horticultural Association, and asks full
and definite information regarding the
Order of the Patrons of Husbandry, or
Oranges, as they are commonly called,
of which order Mr.. Saunders was the
founder. Accompanying his letter was
copy of the constitution, manual, and
rules of the association, and copy of
the agricultural Economist, Il paper
published in its interest. From these
documents, it appears that the associa-
ton has membership of over 100, 600,
yet it has deem in operation only since
December, 1858. It's object III many
points appears similar to those of the
Patrons of Husbandry notably among
which is the supply of its members with
implements and machines of the best
manufacture and makers, and with I'M
adulterated seeds, manures, and fueling
stuffs at wholesale prices, on the CO.
operative plan, and for this purpose the
association has been duly incorporated
under the Companies act" of 1862,
which permits them to transact the
business of selling or buying through
their officials. The association COM
prises among its members many of the
large agriculturists and gentleman farm
ers, and is managed by Central Coun-
Gil, which is composed of the Rt. Hon.
William Cowper, NJ. p; Walter Morri-
son, NJ. p; Thomas Hughes, NJ. p;
James Beal, f. Vansittart Neale, Fred
erick Pennington, and Edward Owen
Greening-the officers being Rt. Hon.
William Cowper, Chairman Mr.. Pen
nington, Treasurer and Mr.. Greening,
Secretary.
The Council holds semi-annual meet
ings in July and December, and all
profits accruing from the business oper-
atoms are divided pro rata among the
local boards. Other objects of the
organization are stated to be the
general advancement and education OF
the agricultural laborers and producers.

PLAIN LANGUAGE.
by TRUTHFUL JANE.

Which wish TO repeat,
And my language Is plain,
That IN ways Of deceit,
Aud tricks that are vain,
The girl Of the period " ia lively,
Which the same would rise to explain.
Lily white was her name
And need not deny,
In regard TO the same.
what that name might imply,
But her cheeks are prOVokingly rosy,
And bewitchingly pencilod her eye.
Twas In Lent, week third,
With most penitent skies;
Which il might be inferred,
Lily White was likewise;
Yet she humbugged Johannes, my lover,
In way shall always despise.
Which we had small game,
Called by some hide and seek;
Twas Irritation. The same
She thought sinful and weak;
But she smiled as she ogled Johannes
With smile that was sanity and meek.
Yet the game it advanced,
In way detest,
And my sorrows enhanced,
At the state of Johns vest,
Which heayed like wave of the ocean,
When the same has a turbulent breast.
But the tricks that are played,
by that girl OF the r.,
And the progress she made
Was alarming to see,
"Till she twirled on her left hand fore finger
What Johannes had promised to me-"
Then looked up at John,
And he looked not at me,
And rose with groan,
And said, What do l see?
We are ruined by harmless Irritation
And 1 went for the girl of the p.
In the scene that ensued,
john amazed, did not speak;
For the floor was bestrewed,
In the height of my pique,
With the "cards" Lily White had been playing
III the game she thought "sinful and weak.
OF those " exquisite charms,"
laid bare in trice,
"Paddings," panniers," and forms,
OF most cunning device,
And there fell from her tresses so airy,
What is frequent in hair, rats and mice.
Which is why repeat,
And my language is plain,
That in ways of deceit,
And in tricks that are vain,
The "girl of the period is lively,
Which the same / am free 10 maintain.
