When 60 to the country to visit my re-
lations, writes N. Quad, the spare bed rises
up before my imagination days before start,
and shiver as remember how cold and
grave-like the sheets are. put off the visit
rs long az possible solely On account Of that
spare bed. l don't like to tell them that /
had rather sleep on picket fence than enter
that spare room and creep into that spare
bed, and so they know nothing of my suf-
ferings.
The spare bed is always as near mile and
II half from the rest Of the beds as it can be
put. 1t is either up stairs at the head of the
hall, or off the parlor. The parlor curtains
have not been raised for weeks everything
is as prim as an old maids bonnet, and the
bed is as square and true as if it mad been
made up to u carpenters rule.
No matter whether it be summer or winter
the bed is like ice, and it sinks down in II
way to make one shiver. The sheets are Slip
perry clean, the pillow ps rustic like shrouds,
and one dare not stretch his legs down Tor
fear of kicking against Il tombstone.
One sinks down until lie is lost in the h0l-
low, and foot by foot the prim bed posts van
ish from sight. He is worn out and sleepy,
hut he knows that the rest of the family are
so far away that no one could hear him if he
was to shout for an hour, and this makes him
nervous. He wonders if any one ever died
in that room. and straightway he sees faces
Of dead persons, hears strange noises, and
presently feels chill galloping up and down
his hack.
Did any one ever pass comfortable night
In spare t+,d? M matter how many Quilts
and spreads covered bim lie cOnld not get
warm, and if he accidentally fell asleep it
was tn wake with start under the impress
sion that dead man was pulling his nose.
1t will he davs and weeks before he recovprs
fr"m the impression and ", he must suffer
in silence. because the spare he'd wac assign
I'd him In token Of esteem and affection.

Drinking Water.

DR. Hall is opposed to the immoderate
drinking of water. He says:
The longer one puts off drinking water in
the morning, especially in the summer, the
less be will require during the day; it much
is drank during the forenoon the thirst often
increases, and Il very unpleasant fu1lness is
observed in addition to metallic taste in the
mouth.
The less man drinks the better for him,
beyon moderate amount. The more wa
ter man drinks the more strength he has to
expend in getting rid of it, for all the fluid
taken into the system must be carried out
and as there is but little nourishment in wa
ter, tea, coffee, beer and the like, more
strength is expended in carrying them out of
the system than they impart to it. The more
man drinks the more he must perspire,
either by lungs or through the skin the more
he perspires the more carbon is taken from
the system; but this carbon is necessary for
the less strength lie has.
Drinking water largely diminishes the
strength in two ways. and yet many are un-
der the impression that the more water swal
lowed the mere thoroughly is the system
''washed out" Thus, the less we drink at
meals. the better for u.s. If the amount were
limited to single cup of hot tea or hot milk
and water at each meal, an Unreasonable
good would result to all. Many persons have
fallen into the practice Of drinking several
glasses of cold water, or several cups of hot
tea or coffee, at meals, out Of mere habit; all
such will be greatly benefited by breaking it
up at once; it may be very we'll to drink
little at each meal, and, perhaps, it will be
found that in all cases it is much better to
take single cup OF hot tea at each meal than
g glass of cold water, however pure

From New York Sun Of April 10Th.
Yesterday afternoon the mate of the bark
Mendoza, Frederick Adams, ruddy of face
and broad Of shoulder, sat in the cabin of bis
vessel, cigar in his mouth and the log of
the Mendoza before him. Everything was
neat and shipshape above and below, and the
vessel showed no signs of four months
voyage.
I'VE left Batavia, on the Island of Java,
on the 23d Of last December" said the mate.
Nv hen we started, Captain Parry and one
seaman were sick with Java fever, q sort of
bilious fever, with chills. On the 7th of jan
uary the second mate, John Wolfe, and the
steward were taken down with the same dis
ease; On the 18TH another seaman was prOe-
trated They were all very sick tor weeks.
written: Captain not expected to recover.
On the 30th of january was attacked with
the fever, making the fifth man sick, out of
our little crew of ten. l had been the only
one able to navigate the vessel, and after my
attack had to continue my work. The fever
used up II man very quick. The Captain and
second mate were unable to move; perfect
skeletons. l used to crawl out of the cabin
on my hands and knees to get the sun, and
then crawl to the ships chronometer to get
the time, and then | worked out our petition.
You could smell the fever in any part of the
ship. On the 18th of February the second
mate died, and we buried him in the sea that
afternoon; it was too hot to keep the body.

medical aid, though it would take US 300 miles
ont of our course. We reached there ON the
10Th Of February, and soon DR.. Fowler. the
hospital surgeon, was on board He knows
all about Java fever, for nearly every vessel
from the island touches at st. Helena with
sick men. He helped US all, and on the 9Th
we started for New York. We had q rough
passage, crossing the equator on the 22d of
March. We were within 500 miles of New
York for sixteen days, baffled by west winds
and big seas that swept the decks. I've seen
some hard voyages continued the mate, but
this last was the toughest. It's bad enough
to 60 to sea, but to be sick throughout voy-
age with Java fever, which will shake the
life out of you, is too much ~

SAINT PATRICk.S DAY, 1878.

MEMEEE OF TEE y. ". N. r.
Far from our happy homes, On distant shores;
Far from that lse where ocean loudly roars;
Far from the echoes Of Hiberna's race
Greeting Saint Patrick's memory in fond embrace,
In this wierd land where space asserts her away:
We. handful, celebrate the day.
Stands there man. though isolated here,
Whose arteries throb not with pulsation freeE,
When the swift tide OF memory sadly sweet,
Recalls each spolsive jest, each manly feat,
Each pageant lay With banners waxing free
Bright eyes we dream of but no longer see:
The proud parad of Erin's gallant youth,
Fearless in conscious loyalty and truth,
The midnight revelry in crowded hall,
The impassioned clasp we now would fain recall,
And all conspicuous in its ,erdure bright,
The immortal Shamrock, Empress Of the night:
All! twould be hard indeed to Danish quite
From offspring true born of that Island bright
Those feelings nameless, passionate, intense,
Deep in their pathos, in their hope immense
Tha cen in hardship, misery, or death
Leap to his heart in some prophetic breath;
Nerving his SOUL his energines inspire,
As mystic strain from Erin's magic Tyre
Tradition whispers, history yet repeats
Hibernias glory, counts q nations feats
Of war, Of enterprise of brilliant SKILL
OF aught that ere aWakes generous THRILL
And midst the shadowy past the foremost hoet
Points to Hibernia's race, their pride and boast.
Her Grattans Sheridans whose tongues of might
Enhanced a senate in lhe silent night,
Her Floods her Burks, whose words as whirlwnds
swept
And roueed mems energies that erst had slept
Her Welingtons whose valor, neer surpaf sed,
Immortal lustre on our nation cast;
Whose dauntless skill the scourge of Europe bound
Aud fame hard earned though seldom equalled found
Where can we find in this dull sordid age,
Where crafty politics are all the rage,
Heaven born bard in melody superb,
Moore, whose wondrous genius naught could curb,
Whose heart seemed moulded in ETHEREAL hre,
Entrancing nations with his magic Tyre,
Whose symphonies, once heard, will ever dwell
Like The far echoes of a wedding bell.
But, sons of Er a.. vain 'twOuld be to speak
OF genius, worth, were not ourselves TO seek
Example, prec, pt craven deep and ,ruc
For Us a broad imperehable clue
To various paths Of honor, lame, renown,
Success must ever earnest efforts crown.
ne il our task to prove to all around,
Foeman. or friends, our principles are sound,
Justice to fairly deal. with crest erect,
For nothing fearing by no folly cn,cked
Of Er,n's heroes past away we're proud,
Let us uphold the name OF Fort Mcleod.

Frame together four light sticks, measuring
exactly foot square inside, and with this in
hand walk into the field and select spot of
fair average yield, and lower the frame square
over as many heads as it will inclose, and
shell out the heads thus enclosed carefully,
and weigh the grain. It is fair to presume
that the production will be the 43, 560th part
of an acres produce. To prove ii go through
the field and make ten or twenty similar caL
cula,ions, and estirate by the mean of the
whole number of results. 1t will enable a
farmer to make closer calculation of what
a field will produce than he can by guessing.
