REGULAR EATING.


Half Of all ordinary Diseases,
says DR.. Hall in his Journai Of
! Hcaih, would he banishcd from
civilized life, and dyspepsia be.
come almost 'unkInown, If every.
body would cat but thrice da,.
at regular times, and not al atom
between meals. the interval hrinr
not less than tivo hours, that being
the time required to diycs, II l'ulI
meal, and pass it out olthc stom-
nrh.
lfa person eats between meals,
the process Of digestion Of tho
food already in the stomach is ar.
rested, d,until the last which had been
eaton is brought into the condi-
ton Of the former meal; just as if
water is boiling and ico is put in,
the water ceases to boil until tho
ico has been melted and brought
to the boiling point, and then the
whole boiIs together.
But it is Il law Of nature that all
food begins to decay after expo.
suro to heat and moisture for a
certain time. If u meal is eaten,
and in two hours another, the
whole remains undigestod for sew
cn hours, before which timo tho
rottening process commences, and
tho man has his stomch full of
carbon-the very idea Of which is
horribly disgusting.
Az, then, all tho food in tho
stomach is in state of fcrmcntive
decay, it becomes unfit for tho
purpose Of nutrition aud for ma.
king good, pure blood. Small
wonder is it that dyspeptics havo
such variety of symptoms, and
achos, and complaints in every
part Of tho system, for thoro is
not one drop Of pure blood in tho
whole body; hence, tho nerves,
which feed upon this impure and
imperfect blood, arc not. properly
nourishcd, and, as a consequence,
become diseased. They "com-

ness, and no ono ever know Il Lys,

essentially disagrocable, fitful, frot.
ful and uncertain.
The stomach is made up OF a
number of muscles, all of which
arc brought in rcquisition in the
process Of digestion. But no mus
clio can work always. The busy
heart is in Il state Of perfect re
pose for ono third Of its time. The
cye can work twice in second
but this could not DO continued
five minutes. The hands and fcct
must havo rest, md so with the
muscles OF. tho stomach thoy on
ly can rest when there is no worl
for them to do-no food in tho
stomach to digest. Even at five
hours intorval, and eating thrice
q day, thoy arc kept constantly al
work from breakfast until tho last
meal is disposed of, usually ter
o'clock at night. But multitudes
cat heartily within an hour Of bod
time; thus whio tho other por
tions Of tho body arc at rcst, the
stomach is kept Iaboring unit
about daylight, and made to be
gin again at breakfast time. Nc
wonder is it that tho stomach is
worn out--has lost its power O.

ANCIENT BRICKS.

A correspondent to the Cleveland Leader
writing from Persia, says Coming from
Bagdad, which, in direct line, is forty -four
miles distant, are three immense mounds in
succession, which have the appearance of
natural hills. But close examination shows
that they are composed of bricks, AM are the
remains of large buildings. These are on
the east side of the Euphrates, and the larg-
est 10 about one hundred and fifty feet in
height. They are supposed to be an ancient
citadel that defended this part Of the town,
the royal palace and temple. How i'm.
mense must the original buildings have been,
when it 10 considered that these mounds
have been the storehouses from which for
twenty centuries bricks of the finest descrip-
tion have been taken to build the great cities
of Ctesiphon, Selucia and Bagdad. Frag.
ments of slsbaster vessels and images, fine
sarthen ware, marble, and great quantities of
ensmeled tiles, the glazing and coloring of
which are still surprisingly fresh, can yet be
found in these mounds. On the face of
every brick is stamped in cuneift cbarac-
ters the name and title Of Nebschadnezzar.
They are eli laid face downward. and the
cement in which they are imbedded is so
hard that they can only be detached with the
greatest difficulty.

We have recently observed in our eX-
changes gratifying indications ola revival
! of activity in various branches of manu-
featuring industry. The items come from
at least fourteen States of the Union, and
they relate to widely different interests,
like the iron business in its various branch
es, cotton manufacturing, wooden do,
furniture, engines, chemical works, car
works, boots and shoes, knitting machines,
| tools and guns. In many cases where
manufacturing has been entirely stopped
during the summer months it is now re-
| vived; in others partial time is changed
to full running time; in others still prep
arations are making for decided enlarge
ment of business-the general representa-
ton being that quicker sales and increased
demand are the order of the day. While
this revival is not remarkable, being
| hardly up to the general anticipation thus
I far, it gives every evidence of being
healthy, extensive and permanent. 1t has
begun gradually, as any sound movement
must necessarily have started, and its wide
diffusion through the country and through
different industries shows that it Is found
ed on the general condition of affairs rath-
er than upon any local or limited change
which would soon eXpend itself.
The causes of the Improvement are not
far to seek. The panic of a year ago Sc
riously curtailed production, so that the
old supplies have been reduced to an ex-
tent which has quickened prices in some
departments, or in others has SO reduced
wages and the general expenses of manu-
facture, that the latter can be resumed
with profit even at the old prices. 1t is
true, some commodities are still lower
than they have been for years, but where
these enter into the costs of living for the
masses they enable the latter to thrive
even on slightly reduced wages. We need
not say what a cheering consideration this
is in view of the approaching winter, of
which many have had dismal apprehen-
sions in consequence of the members sup
posed to be in danger of being out of en-
ployment. AS a revival of manufacturing
industry is generally IA signal OF business
activity in general. it may be hoped that q
few months will find all kinds OF labor in
fair demand, while the abundance of the
crops will greatly diminish the chances of
suffering for want of food. 1t is also wor-
thy of remark that some of the labor or
CARNATIONS which have heretofore stood
in their own light, as well as eXerted an
obstructive effect on the industry of the
country, now show some signs of having
learned wisdom from the bad effects of
their course, and will hereafter recognize
mans right to take such wages as him.
self and his family think best. 1t is to be
hoped that on both sides, and on all sides,
indeed, labor and capital will come to a
better understanding of their mutual inter-
ests, so that when prosperity comes again
it may exert its full beneficent influence in
all directions. boston Journal.
