Don't Worry About Yourself.

To regain or recover health persons
should be relieved from all anxiety con-
cerning diseases. The mind has power
over the body. For q person TO think
that he has disease will often produce
that disease. This we see effected when
the mind 10 intensely concentrated upon
the disease OF another. 1t Is found In
tue hospital that surgeons and physi-
clans who make especially of certain
diseases are liable to die OF them them
selves; and the mental power is SO great
that sometimes people die OF diseases
which they only have in Imagination.
We have seen q person seasick in antici-
patton OF a voyage before reaching the
vessel. We nave known a person 10 die
OF cancer in the stomach when he had no
cancer or any other mortal disease. A
arm, has tainted aud died from believ-
ing that he was bleeding to death.
Therefore, well persons, to remain well,
should be cheerful and happy; and sick
persons should have their attention
drawn as much as possible from them
selves. 1t 10 by their taith men are
saved, and it 10 by their faith that men
die. II he wills not to die he can often
live in spite of disease; and If he has
little or no attachment to life he will slip
away as easily as child will fall asleep.
Men live by their souls, and not by their
bodies. Their bodies have no life ol
themselves, they are only resources Of
Of their souls. The will
has much TO do in continuing the phys
ical occupancy or giving it up.-Journal

Garibaldi's Vile.

The death Of the wife OF Garibaldi re.
wives the recollection Of his singular
matrIm0nialex experiences His first wife,
Aneta, the mother OF Menottt Ricci0tti,
and Teresa, was south American, who
accompanied him in all his campaigns,
and died in his arms during the retreat
from Rome In 1S49. After his exploits In
the Valtellins in 1859, the parents OF .
Signorina Raimondi, an Italian woman
OF beauty and rank, endeavored to show
their enthusiasm for Gafibaldi by urging
their daughter to marry him.. She could
not refuse but on their wedding day,
and just after the ceremony was over,
she threw herself upon his generosity
and told him she had lover. The
simple-minded old soldier was astounded
to find that the woman did not love him,
He promptly separated from her, and
they never met again. The woman who
has just died, and who was his wife only
by courtesy, was q peasant woman, who
took the utmost care Of him, aud whose
simple devotion has made his old age
peaceful and happy. She was The mother
Of several young children, and although
the nature Of her connection with the
General was universally known, she was
treated by all his visitors with the 70
respect which her fidelity deserved.

The Fallen Sister.

You may ransack the world for objects
OF compassion; you may scour the earth
in search for suffering humanity, on
which to exercise your philanthropy; /;
you may roam the hospitals and as y lums
Of this vast city, penetrate the dens and
caves OF all other profiigacy, lavish your
bounty upon a transatlantic famine, or
scatter the Bible broadcast throughout
the great moral wilderness Of heathen-
dom; but in all the million claims upon
your faith, upon your feelings as man
upon your benevolence as a Christian,
you Will never fulfill mission more con-
genial to His gospel; you will never
force tears into the eyes Of fsympathizing
angels, than when you can bring Mag
daena face TO face with her Redeemer,
and thrill her poor heart, even to break
ing, with the music Of the Divine voice
calling her by name-Mary.-Channing.

What II Costs.

The penalty which Germany pays even
for national unity is a vast standing
army. This she still imposes upon her
neig boring nations. How can truce
which converts every citiz IN into SOL
dier and every village Into an armed
camp be called peace? Europe is now
an armed camp. This is mainly because
Of the battle of Sedan. Germany has
l, ZOO, 900 men under arms, including her
army and navy. For these, although she
is economical beyond any other nation
in Europe, she pays $lO0, ,0O0, 700 a year.
Engiand's soldiers and sailors comprise
nearly half a million men, at yearly
cost OF $I24,00o,0O. Austria spends S5l,-
600, 900 year for an army OF $4,000 men,
although she has difficulty in paying ner
debts. We lind even little countries
like Belgium and Denmark with large
armies, costing millions OF dollars every
year. Spain, whose credit is u mockery

industry is paralyzed and her commerce
little more tnan u name-Spain, with
every impetus TO economy and retrench-
ment ana peace-muSt nave 27O,O0O men,
for which she pays over $30,OOO,0O0 u
year. France, with her army and navy,
mas 100000 men under arms, costing
$l35, 100000 per annum. Even Greece,
VINO can hOL suppress Iue prlgauus Iuat
lnfest her hills, must nave $4,000 men.
Italy, which would not send commits
sion to the Centennial Exhibition OF
Philadelphia for reasons OF economy,
can afford to keep several hundred thou
sands Of men under arms at cost of
nearly $50, ZOO, 900 per annum; while little
Holland, one Of tAe most Useful and
harmless countries in Europe, finds 100,-
900 men necessary Tor her independence.
Even Sweden, away, we should think,
from the sweep OF European ambition
and protected by her isolation, is COM
PEELED to keep 10000 men under arms.
Switzerland has $4,000, and Turkey Is
rapidly going to the devil with an army
OF 500, 900 men.
Altogether, therefore, Europe to-day
has over 9,00O,000 soldiers under arms,

SMALL WAISTS.

There is no doubt but that o "small
waist" is admired OF all men and all wo-
men. No matter how the psychologist
or the physicians may talk, women al.
ways have compressed their waists and
expanded their skirts, and they always
will, until public opinion pronounces for
the heavy figure. II has never infu-
enced fashionable woman yet to hear
that the Venus de Meaici has large
waist--she has been told 90 ever since
that fanltless image of female beauty
was disinterred. She merely shrugs her
shoulders and draws her laces tighter.
She knows very well that ii she went
to q ball with that figure OF Venus, no
man would ask her to dance. So import
ant a matter is 1t to have q small waist,
that 1t has become matter OF pride to
the Austrian people, and Is often men-
toned in. the court journals, that the
Empress OF Austria 10 celebrated tor
possessing waist which only measures
sixteen inches. This greater nobility
than ever the possession OF sixtee quar-
terings ON your shield, without which
you can not be admitted to the best So
oiety of Vienna. "Sixteen," therefore,
is magic number at Vienna. There are
many persons, to be sure, who have as
small a waist, but they have not the
height, and contour, and becoming full
ness which the Empress has.
Nor is the ssmall-waist fxrore" alone
confined to the women OF civilized lands,
so called. The small foot OF the Chinese
women is local popularity; the small
waist, or the striving for it, is universal.
Even grave Humboldt describes the beau,
ties OF Java as eating sort OF clay
called ampo, by which they become very
much reduced in size. 1t kills them
finally, but what Of that?
Undoubtedly there will always be fool
ish mothers who make their daughters
sleep in their corsets, and many foolish
women who will always draw their laces
