The Influence of Mind Upon the Body

THAT mind pervades the whole animal
organism seems proven from its great
influence in bodily disease. Irregularity
of action in the heart, and even real dis
ease, may be induced By constant notice
of it's pulsations. The person who talks
continually of being nervous will aggra-
vate and increase irritability of the nerv-
Gus sy stem. Everyone knows how chill
dren are often frightened by ghost stories
and other such tales, so that eeplessness
is caused and nervous disorders fastened
upon the Ii tie sufferer. Many instances
have occurred where not only children
but even adults have been frightened SO
that death resulted.
a story has been related how class
of me dical students, incredulous of men
tai power in inducing disease, expert
mented upon healthy, robust young
farmer of their acquaintance. a half
dozen or so of budding Esculapians sta
toned themselves at short intervals al, ng
the road the farmer would pass in going
to market.
The first experimenter called out,
"Gopd morning, John, bright day
how's hay to-day? But V u are not look
ing well! What's the matter? Head
ache?"
mo" replies John. Never felt bet
ter in my life; all hum about my not
looking we'll"

THE NARROW HOME.

A NARROW home, but very still it seemeth;
silent home, no stir or tumult here.
Who wins that pillow of no sorrow dreameth,
No whirling echoes jar his sealed ear.
The tired hand lies very calm and quiet,
The weary foot no more hard paths viii
tread,
The great world may reyolve in clash and
riot
To its loud summons leaps nor heart nor
head,
The violets bloom above the tranquil sleeper,
The morning dews fall gently on the grass;
Amid the daisies kneels the lonely weeper,
He knows not when her lingering footsteps
pass.
The autumn winds sigh softly DER his slum-
Der,
The winter piles the snow-drifts DER his
rest;
He does not care the flying years to number,
The narrow home contents its silent guest.
No batied hope can haunt, no doubt per-
plexes,
No parted love the deep repose can chafe,
No petty care can irk, no trouble vexes,
From misconstruction his hushed heart is
safe.
Freed from the WEAKNESS of worldly fretting,
From pain and failure, bootless toll and
strife,
From the dull wretchedness of vain regret
ting,
He lies, whose course has passed away
from life.
A narrow home, and far beyond it lieth
The land whereof no mortal lips can tell;
We strain our sad eyes as the spirit fieth,
Our fancy loves on heavens bright hills to
dwell.
God shuts the door, no angel lip uncloses,
They whom Christ raised no word Of guild
ance said:
Only the Cross speaks where our dust re-
poses:
Trust Him who calls unto His rest our
dead"

Strictest attention the little cats pay,
Dandy and Wrinkle and Kitty-kin GRAY.
Very small boy in row;
This is the teacher, you know;
Teacher from choice;
Very big voice,
Rolling out splendidly, so:
do do do do"
Breathless with rapture the little cats look
At fly who is travelling over the book.
Now the tune jumps very low,
So do the cats in a row;
Rather dull thing
Learning to sing;
Time is exceedingly slow:
"Mew miow ow."
Of course school is out when they all rul
away,
Dandy and Wrinkle and Kitty-kin Gray.
Little Corporal.

the boat, when grandmother held them
tightly in her arms, covering them with
tears and kisses as they rowed quickly
home
And such supper, and such nice
bed, and such happy family, you never
saw before !-Churchman.
