CLOTHING THE NEcK.-The good
sense of the following is apparent,
and it comes to us from high author
ity:
"The clothing about the neck
should be very moderate in quantity.
and worn so loose as to prevent the
slightest compression. The great
errors frequently committed in cloth
ing this part of the body, consist in
wearing such an amount as to over
heat and wesken the throat, and thus
render it easily susceptible to cold,
or in wearing it so tight as to retard
the circulation of the blood to and
from the head. Great care should
be exercised upon this point, as the
arteries and veins leading from the
heart to the brain are situated so
near the surface in the neck that a
slight compression there serves to
check the flow of the blood.
Many cases Of congestion of the
brain and headache are partially or
wholly caused by too tight collars and
cravats.

He was informed by the administrator
of their deceased clients estate that
the account was correct, but, as the
spirits were obtained to sell by retail
over the counter. and the traffic was
not legitimate, they would refuse to
pay the bill! Mr.. Pollock at once in
stituted suit for payment. and the iury
found for defendant! This is a samnle
of what 'wbisky men" may expect in
the present state of public opinion, and
the consequence is that very little

The Lapland Church Awakener.

Even in Lapland the sermons are
sometimes dull, and listeners are occa-
sionally sleepy, but the Laps have way
of getting around the difficulty which
may be recommended even among us to
all whom it may concern. IL Lapland,,
it appears, the preacher is armed with
a large baton, and with this he beats a
sort OF hermeneutical tattoo upon me
pulpit whenever he catches any OF HI:
CONGREGATION in the act of noddirg.
But, lest some slumbering delinquent
should fail to attract the attention OF
the preacher, the sexton is uti ICED as
co-worker in the gospel. and keeps HIM
self awake by meandering about the
church, WELDING long stick, mitigated
bv a cushion at one end. With this
stick he diligently pokes sleepers in the
ribs, ana goads on their faculties to The
sad duty OF attention. Thus the Laps
have an arrangement for punching the
congregation when they get sleepy
They do not seem TO have devised any
method for punching the preacher whoi

Moving the Stove.

A reader who is recently married
writes us asking which end OF a stove is
the liehtcst. A stove is very decciving,
and one has to become well acquainted
with new one to find its points of adj
vantage. Our friend should not be too
hasty in taking hold of stove. A stove
that is to be moved should be visited in
the still watches of the night before,
and carefully examined by the light of
n good lamp. The very end we thought
the lightest may prove the heaviest I'm
fact is extremely likely to-, or it may
be that tie lightcst end is the most diff
iicult to,ytt hold of a3d hang on to. 1t
is very distressing undertaking to car

nails, with cold bloOdcd man ca lily
holding the other end, and a nervous
woman, with Il dust-pan i'll one hand
and broom in the other, bringing up
the rear and gett n the broom between
your legs. In gong mp stairs 1t is best
to be at the lower end OF the stove.
Going backward up a stairway with a
stove in your hands requires a dclicacy
of perception which very few people
possess, and Whlcn can ohly conic "lt'i
wears of conscientious practice. II you
are below, you have the adva' tage of
missing much that must be painful to Il
sensitive nature. The position you nre
in brings your face pretty close 10 Inc

expected to see what is going on when

responsibility and thought in the mat

Aud though, like peasant, barbarously clad,
Each wore the nameless noble in his face;

One night in autumn sat they round the fire,
In the rude cabin bOuutiful Of home;
Mild by the reverence due from child 10 s,re,
Bold in the manhood unto mast'ry come
Working their tasks DER huntsman'S forest gear,
Loos'nng the bow and sharpening the spear.

Staring unconscious at the blazing wood,

Atlol, the bearded, with his bow had done,
Alfred, the nimble, laid his spear aside,
Edric the fairest, tirng of his fun,
Left the old hound to slumber on his hide;
Yet was their sire like one whose features seem
Shaded by sleep, and all their light dream.
Bold in the favor of the eldest born,
Athol. for both his younger brothers, spoke:
"Father, the fox IL prOwng in the corn,
And hear the nght-owl hoOtng from the oak;
Let us to couch" But Swcyn had raised his head,
And thus unwilling what la passd, he said
