Music rs Medicine.

The horse knows what he owes to
his bells. The factory girls have been
instinctively forced into Singing, finding
in it a solace and assistance in work
And music, the health-giver-what an
untrodden field is there! Have we neve;
noticed an invalid forget pain and weari-
ness under the stimulation of music
Have you never seen palo cheek flush
up, a dull eye sparkle, an alertness and
vigor take possession of the frame, and
animation succeed to apathy! What
does all this mean? 1t means truth
that We have not fully grasped, truth
pregnate with vast results to body and
mind. 1t means that music attacks the
nervous system directly, reaches and
rouses where physic and change of air
can neither reach nor rouse. Music will
some day become a powerful and ack-
nowledged therapeutic; and it is one
especially appropriate to this excited
age. Half our diseased-some physi-
clans say all our diseases-come from
disorder OF the nerves. How many ills
of the mind precede the ills of the body!
Boredom makes more patients than fe-
yer; want of interest and excitement,
stagnation Of the emotional life, or the
fatigue of overweight emotion lies at
the root of half the i'll health of odr
Young men and women. Can we doubt
the power of music to break up that
stagnation? Or, again, can we doubt
its power to soothe, to recreate an over.
strained emotional life, by bending the
bow the other way? There are modes
of exhausted feeling in which certain
kinds of music would act like poison,
just as the whip and spur, which encour
age the racer at first, tire him to death
at last. There are other kinds of music
which soothe, and, if l may use the word
lubricate the worn ways of the nervous
ceEters. You will ask what music is
good for that? We reply. judgement

labor Every one belonging to the laboring class
knows the Inconvenience of being obliged to
labor when the body, from debility, almost re-
fuses to perform its daily task. 1 never was a
believer in dosing with medicines; but having
heard the Veeefine spoken of so highly, was de-
termned to try it, and shall never regret that de-
termination. As a tonic (Which every one needs
some time) it surpasses anything ever heard Of
Ii invigorateS the whole system; il is q great
cleanser and purifier Of the blood. There are
many ofny acquaintance who have taken 1t, and
all unite in praise of its satisfactory effect
Especially among the aged class of people, it
imparts TO them the one thing most needful in old
age-nights of calm, sweet repOse, thereby
strengthening the mind as well as the body. One
aged lady, who has been suffering through life
with scrofula, and has become blind from its
effects, having tried many remedies with no ia
vOrable result, was induced by friends to try the
vegetine. After taking a few bottles, she obtain
ed such great relief that she expressed wish for
her sight, that she might be able to look upon the
man who had sent her such q blessing. Yours

That Hired Girl.

When she came to work for the family
on Congress street, the lady of the house
sat down and told her that agents, book
peddlers, hat-rack men, picture sellers,
ash men, rag men, and all that class Of
people, must be met at the front door
and coldly repulsed, and Sarah said she'd
repulsed 'em if she had to break every
broomstick in Detroit.
And she did. She threw the door
open wide, bluifed right up to 'em, and
when she got through, the checklist
agent was only too glad to leave. 1t got
SO after a while that peddlers marked
that house, and the door bell never
rang only for company.
The other day as the lady of the house
was enjoying nap, and Sarah was wip-
ing off the spoons, the bell rang. She
fastened to the door expecting to see a
lady, but her eyes encountered a slim
man, dressed in black and wearing a
white neck tie. He was the new minis
ter, and was going round to get acquain-
ted with the members of his flock; but
Sarah wasn't expected to know this.
"Ah-um-is Mrs.-ah-w

the gate.
"Beg pardon, but I'd like to see

to look over Sarah's head

FRIED PoTAroEs.-Peel good sized po-
tatoes, and slice them as evenly as pos
sible, drop them into ice-water. Have
kettle of lard, as for fried cakes, and
very hot. Put few at time into a
towel, shake them about to dry them,
and then drop into the hot lard. Stir
them occasionally and when of light
brown, take them out with skinner.
If properly done, they will not be at all
greasy, but crisp without, and mealy
within.
