MELANCHOLY Melancholy, or Low
ness of Spirits is. in many cases, not the
result of misfortunes or calamities but
rather Of imperfect health, or, in other
words. Of deficient nutrition In such
eases, the only remedy is to invigorate the
functions both of digestion and of assimil-
alton. Lowness of spirits is indicative,
more especially, Of deficient nutrition Of
the brain The brain, to preserve its nor

A Penitentiary Romance.

There is now in the State Penitentiary
at Fort Madison an aged couple who are
serving out term for the crime of incest
they being brother and sister. The story
is this: At the age of twelve years, the
male left his fathers house to seek his for
tune and no more return. He in time,
went West grew to manhood and married,
raised a family of children, and finally his
wife died. His sister grew to womanhood,
was married, and with her husband went
West and to Iowa. Her husband died,
and in time she received an offer of mar
riage from man who was widower. She
accepted the offer and they were married.
Her husband was wealthy, and after
time one of the sons wished to have the
father give him some property, but the
father refused to grant his demands. The
son one day while looking over the family
record of the stepmother, which had been
laid aside and forgotten, discovered that
there was kinship between the families,
and a further investigation proved that his
father and stepmother were own brother
and sister. To avenge himself of his faith
er's refusal to give him the bulk of his
property, he brought suit against them
both for incest. They were tried Iand con-
victed and sent to the penitentiary for one
year. They are both over sixty years of
age, and as innocent of intent to commit
crime as the newborn babe.

Dangerl Danger ~ Dangerl!!
BIZ EDWARD Aporr.

Four young men of Yonkers went out
into the field the other day, cunning. Pres
emily they came to board Enclosure, on
which was a sign with the above startling
words upon it. In addition the sign gave
notice that within the inclosure were several
cans of nitro-glycerine, perhaps the most
terribly destructive explosive agent now
known. And the purport of the whole
was to turn people out of the way See
how the young men mind the warning.
Two Of them, more cautious than their
companions, hid behind some trees at "a
little distance, to look on. The other two
went near, and--will the reader believe it
threw q stone OF two at the cans. The
explosion which followed blew them to at
oms, and badly, if not fatally hurt the
others. And now they know how it is
themselves.
This is sort of thing young men are
doing very often. They go into business,
and come face to face with temptations TO
speculations, fraud. The signal is Dangerl
danger danger But this only serves
to whet their curiosity, and they try their
hand with the same result that has over
whelmed SO many others. They go into
society. The wine-cup is handed them.
Danger Danger !! Danger is written
all over it. sit biteth like serpent and
stingeth like an adder" Nevertheless
they think it wont hurt them, and take it,
with the almost invariable result-ruin.
We are coming every day to the places
where these morally destructive agents
have been left in our way. We may won
der at the Providence which leaves them,
but we cannot be blind to the warnings
which accompany them. We meddle with
them at our peril. When will young men
and old learn wisdom, admit that caution
is better than temerity, and be willing to
be guided by the examples and experience
which the past affords?
There are things more deadly than nitro
glycerine.

Playing Indian.

A New York man is very much annoyed
because his two boys have read SO many
Indian stories that they have gone wild
with anxiety to play Indian, to go out ON
the prairies hunting for the real noble red
men. The man was taking nap, after
dinner in his easy chair, when he was walk
ened by an alarming noise and strange
sensation in his head. He jumped up sud
denly and found that one of his boys, dress
ed in red table-cloth, and with his nose
decorated with blue paint, was trying to
scalp his father with carving knife, while
the other boy, attired in a blanket shawl
and a rooster feather, hourished hatchet
and emitted war whoops from behind
thicket composed of two chairs and card
table. The man decided to put stop to
this kind of thing.
SO next day, while the boys were playing
with bows and arrows in the garden, he
dressed himself in Indian costume, and
jumped over the fence with wild, un-
earthly yell; for the purpose of frighten-
ing those children. The oldest boy, how
ever stood his ground, and drawing an
arrow to the head, in which was inserted
a tenpenny nail, he buried it in the chief
tain's leg before he took to fight. That
night the father walked up stairs ON a
crutch and fogged the family all around
before he sent them to bed. He is think
ing now of some other way TO effect cure
of the sanguinary disposition of his off
spring.

Peculiarltles of the Arabs.

No Arab is ever curious. Curiosity with
all Eastern nations is considered unmanly.
No Arab will stop in the street, or turn his
head to listen to the talking of bystanders.
No Arab will dance, play on an instrument,
or indulge in cards Or any game of chance,
since games of chance are forbidden by the
Koran. Never, moreover, invite an Arab
to take walk with you for pleasure
Although the Arabs are on occasion good
walkers, they have no notion of walking
for amusement. They only walk as
matter of business. Their temperance,
their constant outdoor habits, render all
outdoor exercise for exercises sake unne-
cessary they cannot, therefore, understand
the pleasure of walking for walking's sake
What Arabs like best is to sit still, and
when they see Europeans walking .up and
down in public place in Algeria they say,
Look look ! the Christians are going
mad ~ The Arab does not even mount on
horseback, except on matter of business
or for his public fetes and carousals. And
when you do walk, you should not walk
quickly, just as in speaking you should not
talk fast OF loud for the Koran tells you,
Endeavor to moderate the step, and to
speak in low tone, for the.most disagreea-
BILE of voices is the voice of the ass.''
Indeed, it was observed by famous
Arab, "Countless are the vices of men,
but one thing will redeem them all-pro-
priety of speech" again +; And "Of the
word which was not spoken, am the
slave, but silence is of gold" is motto of
Arabic origin.
A silent, grave people are the Arabs, and
a pale one too very much given, neverthe-
les, to highway robbery on large scale ;
but the Arabs tent is always open to you,
and you can get any amonnt of camel's
milk, or even roasted mutton, if he has it.
You will be treated as guest from God as
long as you are under his roof, after which
your happiness is in your own hands, which
means that your host who had fed you in
the evening may, at a decent distance
from his tent, rifle your saddle-bag in the
morning, and let the powder speak to you
if you object after which, Allah be merci-
full to you.

tBr If you should see a man digging a
snow drift with the expectation of finding

sow the seeds of dissipation in your youth,
and expect the fruits of age will be good
