The Evils Nerves are Heir to.

The human body is Q complicated affair. First is the bony form of frame work, over this the muscular system, and overlying both, the nervous and intelligent one, and above all the brain, carefully protected by the skull, and far within us. From the brain go out little fine threads of nerves, communicating with all parts of the body; hence the mind may not be affected without inf1u- encing the body, or the body without affecting the mind. In the hands the nerves are many, also in the feet, pro- ducing sensitiveness. The nerves in the bottom of the feet connect with those of the spine, which makes improper care of the feet the occasion of many nervous headaches for these headaches try a foot-bath twice day, allowing the feet % remain in the water long enough to absorb the water needed, fifteen or twenty minutes. One hour of mental anxiety will derange the functions of the body more than 8 year of physical labor without worry. In one part ot the brain lie the nerves which control, through the will, the animal part of our natures, while in another place are the nerves controlling the digestive organs, the generative organs, etc.. Any trouble in either of these parts of the brain affects; of course, the organs 1t con- trols. -s'f ,
 The mind and body do not work inde. pendent of each other. A large propor- tion of the crimes committed come from diseased condition of the brain. All suicides gre committed through, insan ity, as we'll as many other murders Organic disease of the heart IS very rare, owing to the wise and peculiar dis. tribution of it's nerves. The left side o1 the body is more liable to disease than the right, owing to our being one handed people, and exercising one side more than the other. Teach children to, use both hands alike and to have per fectly developed bodies. Women who use their brains much and judlclously at the same time, are happier, healthier and live longer than those who allow household and other cares to absorb them-get away, now and then, from all vexations and troubles, find rest III picture-galleries, reading-rooms, and places of amusement.
 Ladies who are very nervous, with the palms of their hands and hollow of the feet hot, put the hands in the water tc cover the pulse, the feet in water, ano bathe the temples and head behind tho ears.

N0nnlnssing a Barber.

Persons who visit barber shops would give premium for barber who would notinsist upon them having their Chair out" or submitting to a " shampoo when they only wished to be shaved. A man who called at tonsorial establish ment succeeded in nonplussing most persistent knight of the razor. The barber insisted upon giving transient customer a 1" shampoo" and II. Q. ner- emntorily demanded why such a re- ouest was made. Then little colloquy ensued something like this u4 a-

ter? You look pale. Any deadly secre on your mind? Make me father con lessor, Nell, dol I'm afraid that i doesn't agree with you to take premi ums. I'll tell you what, Nell, if you'll marry me, and come up to the Hall tc live, I shall think I've drawn the first premium in the country"
 "Oh, Tom," gasped Nell, under he1 breath, "I don't know what to do ] must tell somebody I'm almost wild IT didn't take the premium for butter Somebody had exchanged cards with me. You see, I should never have found it out, but I stamped my butter with a strawberry and that which took the premium has my card attached to the box, but it's stamped with-well, no matter what; it's different, that's all. It isn't my butter"
 els that all ?" cried Tom. "You gave me such start l I thought you were going to tell me that your affec- tions were engaged to the deacon, or yon'd been changed in your, cradle P
 "Now don't laugh at me, Tom"
 "It's no laughing matter, I can assure you, when fellow offers his heart, and gets nothing back"
 ooh, Tom, what do you want more OAA6n NO SANOA yOu 61xodOyS
 You've given me the rag mat. and inch, and they'll want O NelL."
 "But what shall do about the but ter ?" ,~ --f -z
 "I'll tell the judges there has been a mistake made"
 "And then she'll know that she has been found out.
 "And she ought to know it."
 "But it'll hurt her i; she'll never be able to hold up her head again. And, don't you see, she has been punished already"
 "Yes, dare says she's heartily ashamed of herself. Perhaps you had better let it go, and give the money to the poorr'
 "But I do hate to take credit that doesn't belong to me-"
 However, Mrs. Wheating herself came to the rescue. She went into the town hall to taste the prize butter by means of which poor Amanda had lost her piano. .
 "Bless my eyes P said she, "that's my Mandy's butter, if was to die for it l There isn't anotherlot here stamped with sheaf of wheat, and I'd take an oath that Mandy's was, though I wasn't fetched up to hear swearing in my fathers house. I'll jest go and get Nell Eustis, and see if she'll own it. :" And of course Nell was only too glad to resign the troublesome honor of taking the premium ; and the judges were in formed, and it was finally re-announced that Amanda was the successful com petitor, and nobody dreamed how the mistake had come about.
 "They allus muddle and mix things so at them fairs," explained Mrs. Wheating.
 But when Amanda's father began to talk about the piano, Amanda hung fire she wouldn't hear to it-it cost too much, she hadn't any gift at music and so the matter dropped. But when Nell fulfilled her dream, and married Tom, and went to live at Brierly Hall, she gave Amanda her second hand piano that had cost Amanda so much.
 And, after all, Tom Brierly thinks that it was he who took the premium at the county fair. .'.
