All About Consumption.

Consumption is not disease Of the
lungs, but of the system, showing itself
in the lungs. If you fully comprehend
this you are ready for the common sense
treatment. Avoiding all local treatment,
by inhalation, all the panaceas, includ-
ing whisky and cod-liver oil fashionable
to-day, exploded to-morrcw), employ
those natural methods about which wise
doctors have never differed. /. Walk
in all kinds of weather, two or three
times q day. If too weak for this, begin
with the saddle. 2. Hang by the. hands
in rings suspended from the ceiling, six
feet above the floor, swing backward and
forward, sideways and in circle. The
effect upon the walls of the chest is
very remarkable. The writer has known
such swinging to reduce the pulse sensi-
bly, in week. In such exercise con-
tinue until slightly faGgued. 3. Wash
the entire skin with tepid water and
good natural soap every morning on re-
turning from the first walk, and rub the
skin to redness every night on going
to bed, with sharp hair gloves. 4. Sleep
much, retiring before nine, adding q
mp in the middle of the day. Never
forget that good ventilation during the
hours of sleep is vital in every case OF
diseased lungs. 8. Eat for breakfast and
dinner oat meal, crackers, wheat, mutt
ton, plain bread, potatoes. Use no pas
try or other trash. Eat no supper. o.
Cultivate jovial people. Laughter is the
most precious Of all possible exercises
for chronic affectionss

Lots Of Pine Logs.

The Midland (Mich.) Independent
thus describes jam in the Tittabawassee
river: Can our readers outside the
limits of the lumber region realize what
it is to see river, from twenty to forty
five rods across, filed, rammed, jammed
full of pine logs for sixty miles2 Yes,
if they have a mind to travel up this way
just now and view the Tittabawassee,
filled in just that way, with a heavy
double and triple jam of noble pine logs,
from Saginaw to above Edenville, a
distance of about sixty miles by the
course the stream pursues. Just en-
deavor to imagine the stupendous thing,
and then consider whether or not any
work was done in the "dim old aisles"
of the lumber forests during that cold
winter. Sixty miles of logs Sixty
miles of logs, and probably, on an aver
age, four million feet of lumber to the
mile, so the lumbermen inform us, or
approximately, $50, 900, 600 feet of pine
lumber in the whole jam! Can you take
all that inf No, not yet. Well, let us
figure little further: -Four logs to the
thousand feet is about fair average;
then in each log would reside two hun
dred and fifty feet of lumber, or to make
25O, 900, 900 feet of lumber, it would re-
quire one million logs! Can you COM
prehend that figuref One million pieces.
Probably sixteen feet is about the aver
age length of these logs-it will not at
least widely vary from that-and then
the distance those million pieces would
extend il placed end to end in one con-
tinuous line would be 16, 900, 600 feet or
little above 5000 miles, tine distance
across the American continent from New
York to San Francisco. II sawed 80 Il a.
all the waste would be worked up, this
would make almost sufficient amount
of inch lumber to build a sidewalk two
feet wide completely around the globe.

The Dainty Maiden.

Hast thou seen the dainty maiden
AS she swiftly passes by?
Yes, indeed her hair is golden,
Clesrest azure in her eye.
Fits she swiftly as the swallow
Toward the nest Yhere it doth bide;
Goldon hair queen doth crown her
All, would she were my bride!
Thou art mine my dainty maiden,
Delicate and mannerly;
Yet all, yet, thou lackest something
Eyes Of blue, what can it be2
Delicate thou art in kissing
AS the swallow water nips;
M'lch too. delicate and dainty,
kissing with such pointed lips.
From the German of Goethe.

he led her to the fire she burst into n
flood of tears.
"I'm frightened" she said. "Some
one followed me all the way. I heard
them"
"You've no business to be out alone
at night" said old Fairjohn, bluntly.
"And what's the matterl'
She looked up ut him piteously.
" 1 thought there would be letter, "
said she. 81 dreamt there was one.
thought Charlie came to me and said:
Go to the office once more. / have
written, 1 have written And thought
l saw letter with red SEAL"
" So did I" muttered old Fairjohn to
himself.
And he went to the box where the let
ters were kept and brought them to her
in his hand.
"Look for YOURSELF" he said. "And
now, Mrs. Lester, I'm an old man. Take
my advice. Remember what your duty
will be after tomorrow. Remember not
to go crazy.
"Ten years have gone since your hus-
band left this place. If he's alive he's
a rascal, and you are free of him by law ;
but we all know that every man on board
the Sphynx was drowned. So be good
wife to Job Roper and forget this folly.
Ill take you homo again this time.
Don't come again.
She made no answer, but only tossed
the letters over in her lap, and said:
I" seemed to know it had a red Sc al. !"
And as she spoke, old Fairjohn, glanc-
ing at the door, saw dark shadow there,
saw it grow darker; saw it enter, and
starting up on his defense, if need be,
recognized Job Roper.
He was very pale, and took no notice
Of Fairjohn, but crossing the store, stood
beside Jessie Lester.
he said. "You'd rather have found a
letter from him than not, though to-
morrow is our wedding day."
She looked up into his face with a
piteous glance:
81 never lied to you," said she.
"You know that"
He grew winter still.
81 told you man would lose his soul
for such love as mine," said he.
"Did you think those were idle words 2"
Then he plunged his hand into his
bosom, and the next instant letter, with
red seal, lay in Jessie's lap.
"!'ve made you happy, and now I'll
CO." he said. "Fairjohn, I stole that
letter month ago, off the counter
yonder. I knew who wrote it at a
glance" and then the door closed be-
hind him and he was gone.
But Jessie had torn open the letter
and looked after him.
And these were the words she read,
old Fairjohn reading over her shoulder:
"ABoARD THR SILVER STAR.-Jessie,
darling, 1 don't know what makes me
believe that shall find you mine still,
after all these years, but something
does.
Five Of us were cast Oh desert
island when the Sphynx went down.
The two yet alive were taken off it yester-
day in skins, with our boards to our
knees. We must go to England first
then home. Jessie, Jessie, if do not
find you as I left you shall go mad.
Your husband, CHARLES LESTER"
And SO Jessie's letter had come at last.
And as John Fairjohn looked into her
face he saw how angels looked in Para
disc.
And Job. Job was found drowned
the next morning. Jessie never knew it,
perhaps, for she and her boy were on
their way to New York to meet the Silver
Star when it made port.

sor, not long since, an anecdote. of Samuel
Phillips, .Jr. (which I do not remember TO have
seen in PRINT / speak of the Sam. Phillips
who foung Phillips Academy at Andover.
Mass, apion ..ho was Lieut. Governor Of the
State att lbs time of his death-lSO2. He en-
tered harvard College at the age of sixteen,
and though remarkably studious, he yet had
the spirit Of mischief in him, combined with
independence and pride of station. For ore or
two of his first offences be was privately eau
toned; but at length be was openly reprimanded
and punished upon which in high dudgeon, he
left college and went home, expressing the
determination never to go back.
His father wa a thoughtful, right-minded man,
who did his work of life without much'speaking.
He heard his sons story, but gave no opinion
at the time. On the following morning, as the
family were arising from the breakfast-table,
he asked his wife,
"Have you enough of your homespun tow.
cloth TO make Sam. a frock and trousers2"
The good woman, with much wonder. replied
that she had. The father then turned to
his son with
"Sam, put on your hat, and come with
me-"
They started out, and had nearly crossed
the Common in the dil ection Of a smiths
shop, when Samuel asked,-
"Father, what are you going to do 2"
II am going to bind you as an apprentice
to that blacksmith, my son. If you will not
study you must work. If you do not choose
TO accept the education l have offered, you
shall, at least, have an honest trade"
This opened the youths eyes. He said he
would return to college and do bis best and
he kept his word. He returned, confessed
his error, was fully reinstated, and bis subse
quent career was a noble one.

A BEGGAR.

A man named James Blanchard, pro-
nrietor of cottages and land ut Headley,
near Alton, Hants, has been charged be-
lore the Aldershot magistrates with beg
cling. Mr.. Superintendent Stephenson
informed their worships that this was a
most extraordinary case. Prisoner had
been seen by a constable begging from
house to house. When taken to the police
station, half a sovereign in gold, IS. Sd. In
conpers. and some silver, was found on
him, also several pieces Of bread bits OF
cigars, and a handbook, showing that ne
had nearly 12L. in the Aldershot Post-Office
Savings Bank. He is worth some hun
dreds of pounds, land and houses. He
would charge him with obtaining his lIvell-
hood by dishonest means, and under these
circumstances he (Mr. Stephenson asked
their worships to deal with the prisoner
as vigorously as the law would allow
them. Since 1867 he (the prlsoner) has
been seven times convicted OF larceny IN
Hants and Surrey, and charged with other
offences. He was only released from
eighteen months Imprisonment last Janu-
ary, and was then under two years police
surveillance. He was o dangerous and
worthless character. On the day he was
apprehended, his handbook showed that
he had lodged Is. in the savings bank.
The superintendent's statement was 1ully
confirmed by evidence, and the bench
sentenced the prisoner to undergo imprl--
sonment with hard labour for a period OF
10 montbs and ordered the witnesses
expenses to be apportioned from the sum
found in his possession when taken into
custody.

A rather good story comes from a Town
a the Pleasant Creek district, and, fortu-
nately, its truth is vouched for. A num-
Der of the residents were on a kind OF
fishing picnic, and the weather being IN
tensely hot they met with but Indifferent
success in angling. The ladies soon stroll
ed off by themselves and went down the
creek. This was only intended to mIslead
heir lords and masters and prevent them
rom following, as they really intended
s'aving a quiet battle. They made a cir
nit, therefore, passed the camp unno-
ticed, and after going some distance up
the stream they found a quiet nook, and
were soon padding about, delighted.
They were nicely sheltered, as the bank
on one side was steep and precipltous'
Meanwhile, the gentlemen OF the party
also grew tired of angling, and one OF
them suggested a battle. owe can easily
avoid the ladies, as they went down the
river. I know a nice shady waterhole,
with a steep bank. We can undress
under some trees not far off, take a short
run to the bank, and jump in" They
did so. One after another they arrived at
the cliff, and sprang off, coming down like
so many thunderbolts in the midst OF their
better halves, who cannot to this day
recollect how they got out OF the Difficult

The money market to-day was quiet
and inactive. There was little animation
exhibited in money circles and nothing
doing aside from the local checking and
depositing. Currency continues in good
supply, with collections fair and money
comparatively easy. The discount mar
ket is steady and unchanged, first
class paper ruling at SOLO y cent. y
annum; on the streets the rate is 2@3 D
cent. y month for short loans. Brokers
are paying llSl@l3A for gold, with light
transactions. Exchange is in light sup
ply, with a light demand at the following
rates: On New York and Eastern points
buying at par and selling at icpremium;
New Orleans, tc discount buying and
selling at par. Police and fire scrip is in
demand and appreciating. One or two
brokers came into the market yesterday.
The Mechanics and Traders Bank is
offering 90c, and is unable to get all it
wishes at that figure. The merchants
are still receiving the scrip for goods at
its face value. County and State war
rants are quiet and unchanged. There
is little movement in city warrants or
bonds. Other securities Of every de-
scription remain dull and nominally IN
changed.
