Surely these four by the force of public
opinion could force France to forego her
thirst for vengeance, and sacrifice her vim
dictivepess for the common good. The
truth is no nation in Europe trusts it's
neighbor, and notwithstanding their pacific
professions, each distrusts the other. Mu-
tual understandings for the preservation OF
the peace can never amount to anything
till the public mind and the public con-
science be educated up to the criminality
of offensive war under any pretext.
Whesher this can be done, OF how it can
be done, we do not see. But this we know,
that if standing armies and navies were
cut down eighty per cent, men would be
richer, nations would be richer, millions of
b imam lives saved from life of Incidence
and death of violence, public debts ez-
tinguished and public morality improved.
If Count Moltke can show us how this may
be done he will gain more glory and more
gratitude than by having shown US how
France and Austria were to be conquered.

Sedentary Hahits.

A man may be healthy without being
strong but all health tends, more or less,
toward strength, and all disease is weak
ness. Now, any one may see in nature
that thinges grow big simply by growing;
this growth is q constant and habitual ex,
ercise OF vital or vegetable force, and
whatever checks or diminishes the action
of this force-say harsh winds or frost
will stop the growth and stunt the Produc-
ton. Let the student therefore bear In
mind, that sitting on q chair, leaning over
desk, porting over book, cannot possl0iy
be the way to mako his body grow. The
blood can be made to flow, and the mus
cles to play freely, only by exercise, and II
that exercise is not taken, nature Will not
be Knocked. Every young student ought
to make q sacred resolution, to move about
in the open air at least two hours every
day. If he does not do this, cold feet, the
clogging of the wheel of the internal parts
of the 1eshy frame, and various shades Of
stomachic and cerebral discomfit will not
fail in due season to inform him, that he
has been SHINING against nature, and IT he
does not mend his courses, as bad boy,
never, like some soft hearted human mas
ters, over merciful in her treatment. But
why should student indulge so much in
the lazy and unhealthy habit of sitting A
man may think as we'll standing as sitting,
often not little better; and as fer read
ing, In THESE Gays, Wnen Cno mOSt WelRuVy
books may be had cheaply in the lghtest
form, there is no necessity why a person
should be bending his back, and doubling
his chest, merely because he happens to
have book in his hand. A man may read
a play or poem far more naturally and
effectively while walking up and down the
room than when sitting sleepily in chair.
Sitting, in fact, is slovenly habit, and
ough. not to be INDUCED. But when a
man does sit, or must sit, let him at all
events sit erect, with his back to the light,
and full free projection of the breast.
Also, when studying languages, or reading
fne passages of poetry, let him read as
much as possible aloud; a practice recon,
mended by Clemens of Alexandria, and
which will have the double effect of
strengthening that most important vital
element, the lungs, and training the ear to
the perception of vocal distinction, SO
stupidity neglected in many of our public
schools. There is, in fact, no necessary
connection, in most cases, between the
knowledge which student is anxious to
acquire and the sedentary habits which
students are apt to cultivates-Professor
Blake, on " Self Culture"

A NOVEL LAW QUEsTIoN.-A novel law
question has arisen in Iowa. The Missis-
sippi river until recently has annually
frozen over solid between Prairie du Chen
and McGregor. The ice has furnished a
winter highway from one side to the other
during several months in the year, enabling
the people to dispense with bridges and
ferries. Recently the Milwaukee and St.
Paul railroad has built a pile bridge across
the river, the effect of which, it is asserted,
has been, by creating eddies and changing
the current, to wholly prevent the forma-
ton of ice 30 that the stream below the
structure remains permanently open. The
river, it is claimed, is a public highway at
all seasons, as much one way as another,
and the use of the ice bridge is right of
which tho public cannot be Invested BY any
authority. 1t is assumed that suits for
damages would lie, and that the railroad
bridge is liable to be indicted and ordered
removed as a nuisance and obstruction to
trade and intercourse between States,

Hundreds of men have no time to get &C
quainted with their children. They see in
q general way that they are clean and
wholesome looking, they pay the quarterly
school bills, and they grudge no expense
in the matter of shoes and overcoats. They
dimly remember that they once courted
their wives, and said tender things in
pleasant parlors, where'the cheerful gas
light shed its glow, or on moonlight even
ings under the rustling leaves" The time
for that has gone by, and they would feel
as bashful as schoolboy reciting piece,
were they to essay compliment now to
the lady at the other end of the table. They
have forgotten that home has it's inalIen-
able rights, and among them, first and
chiefest, the right to their personal pre-
sence. Nothing rests man or woman who
has been busy about one set of things,
better than total change of employment
or feeling. A nap on the lounge is all
very we'll, but after a half hour Of it, if
the most tired man will shake off dull
sleep, and have a romp with the children,
or game of bo-peep with the baby, he
will be rested much more thoroughly than
if he browse away the whole evening, as
too many business men do.-RedrtH and

An American Girls Forlhardiness.
st. Louis Republican,

She has climbed to the crest of the Jung
frau. Other brave girls have done some-
thing of the same daring kind before with
other lower mountains of tho Swit1er
grouping, notably Miss Walker, an Eng
lish girl but OCT own heroine-Miss Bre-
WORT, q New Yorker-did the Matterhorn
and all other horns on the way upward
to the heavens, and did them in mid
winter.
All kinds of men have tried to solve the
problem of the Jungfrau ("youpg lady")
and many have done it by tumbling into
the eternal SHOWS. Books, very charming
to read in slippers and dressing gown, and
finely illustrated, have been published, de-
ecribing how and when to do the Jung
frau, and what and who to do it with. It
is mild form of lunacy which supports
few inns. or insane asylums, at the pretty
little village of Chamouni, where you
meet with swarm of guides who don't lie
bit like truth, but who rob on with q
continental grace and audacity far beyond
the power of description or appreciation.
But it is something to 60 Cbamouni and
look up at the Matterhorn and the Jung
frau, even if yon dou't go up. 1t is not

of the heart, and it is all very we'll for peo-
pie who have neither the heads nor the
hearts to shrug their shoulders and cry

Vesuvius. declared with q yawn that there
was nothing in it, and SO also there may
be nothing in sitting on a big boulder on
the summit of the Jungfrau. and looking
at the icy fretwork on Gods footstool.
There must be something in it, or men
would not be so continually going up and
coming down, looking death in the face at
every step, with nothing between them and
eternity but an alpine stock, q rope and
guide at the other end of it.
We don't know that anything could pre-
vail on Us to 60 balf a mile up towards the
Matterhorn, but we want an American girl
to have full credit for her courage. 1t is
not the fact Of being pulled up to the top
of Mont Blanc that we care for, but it is
We admire and want others to admire. 1t
ia the fashion to say that our girls are ex
otics and that they can't stand exposure.
Nonsense When the occasion demands,

ing, do just what any other girl can do
She may be little shaky on her pins at
first along pedestrian distances, and may
not be quite 30 clear as to take straight
line across stiff country, on a thorough

The Liberal Christian, speaking of La
Marmora's Revelations of the War of
1866" says: "a more unhaudsome figure
could no man cut than Bismarck in these
Revelations which do not admit of any
doubt as to their authenticity. The effect
upon q German must be to make Bismarck
seem miserable traitor. Either he was
that in 1866, or a miserable liar. Neither
alternative is pleasant, but one or the other
must be chosen"

OF the thirty-five hundred new books
published in England last year, there were
two thirds as many works on science and
art as works of fiction. When it is con-
sidered how much more restricted in num-
Der the readers of science are than those of
novels, it is good sign that works of the
former class should make 90 good o show.

A GOOD FARM Of so acres, situated
~ on the south side of Kanawha river,
about halt a mile from its mouth. There
is q good house OH the farm, near the
landing, which is one of the best har-
bors or coal boat landings on the Kama
wha. The farm is well watered and well
timbered, but is especially valuable for
its rich coal veins which have been very
little worked, and for a vein of pOtter's
clay found there. There is, too, a small
orchard neal the river on this farm.
Also; a farm of 143 acres on the Ohio
river, II miles from Gallipolis. 1t has,
good landing, is rich in coal and iron,
and offers a good situation for a wood or
coal yard.
The reason for wishing to sell these
farms is that the brother of age to profit

from home, and the sisters do not wish
the care of them.
