Inconsistencies.

There are conditions in which home.
sickness assn mes tho form of the disease
known as nostalgia. Many opportu-
mites for observation nave enabled
pathologists and other scientific men to
trace the causes and effects of this dis
ease but its seat has been sought for
in vain. Some fatal examinations hive
been credited to the disorder, but we
incline to the opinion that it never
killed any one directly, only through
diseases superinduced by the depres-
sion OF spirits which is occasioned.
The French medical academy thought
the subject worthy of prize essay,
which, when produced, threw much
useful light upon it. The French,
Swiss and Italians are among the ma
tions most subject to the affection, and
that will account for the comparatively
small emigration of those people, The
Germans are less liable to home sick
ness while the English are free from
it in the superlative degree-hence the
cosmopolitan character Of these people,
and their presence and conquests in ev-
aery uarter of the habitalbe globe. The
disease was very marked among the
French troops during the late war, not
only impairing their efficiency as SOL
diers, but actually killing them out
right by the pining for home and famil-
lar scenes. The italian army is hardly
less distinguished by the malady than
the French. The phrenologist would
cut this Gordian knot with the greatest
ease by referring the whole trouble to
the organ of inhabitiveness. Ma
tions may MS reasonably be expected to

tovarious nations-in the same manner as
we are forced to accredit them with faoul-

An Armenian Bride.

Oliver Harper writes from Constanti-

She was covered with o most curious

which reached to her feet. Through

to offend another he says Pretty Ar

The women dress like Europeans in
general. The women, after had twice
made the circuit of the veil, lifted it in
front and separated the long strings OF
tinsel, till could see that the bride
was dressed in white silk, brocaded with
silver and pearls. and that around her
waists was o wide belt containing for
tune Id precious stones. Her cheeks
were painted deep crimson, laid on iii
he elrt shape, and another heart was ar

thick though coarse, was braided full OF
little jingling coins. The outlines of
her form were. as usual, totally hidden
by the olumsy-made clothes. Iadmired
her to her hearts content, and even
went 80 far as to take mp fold of her

Down South,

Southern towns there are in existence
that are untouched by the hand of to-
day as though they were buried deeper
than Pompeii of old. They are buried
to all modern interests and purposes.
Not a breath of air breathed by live,
active men and women ever reaches
them not ripple of the great wave
called progress ever touches their
shores they have few books, and any
thing they see in the newspapers be-
yond the market. the crops and their
side in politics has no meaning for
them Yet they have gentlemen and
gentlewomen in their midst, full of a
quaint. old-fashioned dignity, and sur
rounded by an aroma of good breeding
not unlike in quality to the odor of
dried rose leaves they have few
young men and girls growing up in
their mothers footsteps, young people
lacking the full measure of what soci.
ETY. to-day reckon as thoroughbred, as
sured bean or belle; but often their
youths are honest and simple hearted
even at twenty-five. and the girls, why,
they grow up, and bud and blossom in
to modest, sweet beauty, have their
day of triumph and conquest, and set
tie down to be the wife of some country
squire, and mother of children, whom
they will train to grow up exactly as
they were trained.
