The Humane Society OF London has issued
the following advice to batbers
avoid bathing within two hours after a
meal, or when exhausted from any cause.
Avoid bathing when the body is cooling after
perspiratioD, but bsthe when the body is warm,
provided no time is lost 10 getting into the
water. Avoid chilling the body after having
been iD the water. Avoid remaining too long
in the water; leave the water Immediately, If
there is the slightest feeling of cbilliness.
Avoid bathing altogether if, after having been
short time in the water, there is a seuse Of
chilliness, with numbpess of the hands and
feet. The vigorous and strong may bathe ear
ly in the morning on an empty stomach; the
young and weak had better bathe three hours
after meal, after breakfast, being the best
time. Those subject to attacks of eiddiness
and faintness, and those who suffer from palpi-
tation and other diseases of the heart, should
not bathe without first consulting their medica
adviser.

THE DISADVANTAGES OF WEALTH

AAAI D1OAbf -op w LhLl Il.
The London Review takes philosophical
view OF the Inequality in rank which distin-
gulshes Eoglish Society, aud comes to the con-
cusion that there is really substantial equali-
ty, aud that each rack has many peculiar ad-
Vantages and disadvantages, 80 that it is diff
cult to say 10 which it is best to be born. 1t
thus shows some Of the disadvantages which
accompany the highest and most courted sta
tl0ns:
The position Of a nobleman with large land
ed estates and foe place, is the one that is
most envled, and is therefore most worth Goa
slderiog. lie seems to have got all for which
the rest OF the world is striving. He has every
luxury that can please the flesh. He looks out
OF magnificent rooms on a landscape that tells
everywhere OF the triumph of taste and the
conquest of man over nature. Wherever he
goes, men bow to him. Although he is as
stupid as pig, he is put 10 the chair at every
meeting, enthusiastically received, and cordi-
ally thanked. But the man himself does not
take quite SO bright view Of bis position as
might be expected. Habit takes off the edge
OF all enjoyment. Some persons have real
turn for the magnificent, and others have a
real turn for the snug. The nobeman 10 his
palace may have been born with the latter
taste, and may long for cottage. Property
wv, WY huSb Lut DlkuSI Iec-
lDgs which the face of natural loveiness ava
kens. The great proprietor, as he surveys the
harmonizing beauties of wood, lake and lawn, is
apt to be tormented by the thought that one
point in the horizon does not belong to him, or
that he is being cheated at every corner of his
DOMAIN, or that some neighboring proprietor
has far fiOer view to look upon.
'"Then wealth and station necessarily briag
surveillance. 1t is true that the sins and folies
OF uobemaa are so easily pardoned and even
endear bin to a large circle of admirers, that be
need not much mind the constraint; but still
the extreme publicity in which he necessarily
lives does impose corstraint, and the higher
the rank the greater the constraiDt is. TO be
watched by five servants is bad enough, but to
be watched by fifty is slow torture to q nerv.
Gus and medtative mind. Then, again, eX-
tent Of ownership takes away from the pleasure
ofownership quite as much as it adds The
nobleman seldom has the greatest of all the
pleasures of ownersbip--that of himself Great
ing something. He is obliged to work coutinu-
ally by deputy. He does not know the delight
with which poor man digs and trains bis little
border. There is more keen satisfaction in lay
ing out one of those odd little black plots that
back up suburban villa, than in gazing on the
labors of twenty gardeners at Chatworth or
Blenheim. All great undertakings require a
wooden and machine-like character which ex-
cludes the halting and ignorant intervention OF
an interloper, although he happen to be the
owner OF the machine"

The Rev. Mr.. Gray of the NJ. L.

one thing was there to make glad the
heart of every one who desires the well
fare of the churches and the upbuildlng
of society-that was warm and hearty
fraternal feeling. No one could have
told who belonged to the Church South
from those who belonged to the NJ. +.

A Queer Tale of Love.

The following love story comes to US
from Duluthe MINI. Two young msu
loved maiden fair, of that breezy para
disc. She smiled on both, and, as hap.
pened since the days of Helen, there was
bloody feud. They had conflicts con-
cerniug her until the thing was getting
too monotonous, when youth number one
suggested an adjustment of their differ
encc upon commercial basis. He offer
cd to take $l00 and forever thereafter
hold his peace. Number two scorued to
accept the proposition. The other offer
ed to give this amountior peaceable pos.
session, which was also refused with scorn.
Bids we're made until the amount Of $l6O
was offered by the signing swain Lumber
one; in the shape of his note at ninety
days, the party of the second part took,
aud two loving souls were united. But
when the note became due, and the
former lover demanded its liquidation.
The fond husband refused payment on the
plea of "no value received" and suit has
been brought to recover the amonnt.
The husband sets up the plea that the
girl was pot worth tinker's condemnation,
and for further answer states that if the
/ plaintiff will take the fair creature off his
hands he will gladly pay the note and
throw in his lovely bride, So the case
stands at this writing. t@ nf
