The Health Almanac SAYS: New
Year is a good time to commence a
better life. Old persons should dis
continue all bad examples. Young
persons should have a health edu-
cation. Il is one of the things
needful for all. Young men should
abandon liquor and tobacco.
Young ladies should eschew eorsets
and high heeled CATERS. Doctors
should be prohibited from poison
ing persons because they are sick.
Rum-sellers shonld not be licensed
to sell ''alcohohc food" Graham
-four should be introduced into
every family. Farmers should cul-
tivate more wheat and apples and
no more pork and whisky
When sickness occurs do not
run after drugs, but battle, diet, rest,
sleep; give nature a chance; exercise
common sense. When you have a
severe cold, fast one day; take
a warm bath; drink plentifully of
cool water; have a good sleep, and
save your doctors bills. Cease to
do evil and learn to do well generally.
Then y. may live to some purpose,
the world viii be better because
you have lived in it, and each sue
ceeding New Year is happier than
the preceding.

Irish Bulls.

Miss Edgeworth, in her essay on
Irish bulls, says it has never yet
been decided what constitutes a
bull, but she gives Illustrations.
One is: when I first saw you, /
thought it was you, and now I see
it is your brother" Carleton, in
his address on Irish peasantry, says
that Miss Edgeworth wrote her es-
say on what does not and never did
exist: and he says that the source
of the error in reference to the
Irish bull arises from the fact that
their language is in a transition
state. A bull is a contradiction IN
terms; an assertion of something
which is denied in the very terms of
the assertion, or the denial Of some
thing which is asserted in the very
terms of the denial. Here are some
examples: met you this morning,
and you did not come; I'll meet
you to morrow morning, whether
you come or not. Oh, if I had
stayed in that climate until now, I
would have been dead two years
ago. Why, by the powers, / can
see no reason why women should
not become medical men if they
want to. During the Irish rebel
lion an Irish paper published this
item: A man named Pat was run
over by a passenger train and killed
on Wednesday. He was injured in
similar way two years ago. Then
there are blunders of omission and
commission in legislation, that have
their cause away back where men
vote heedlessly and carelessly, when
it is not sterling honesty and purity
of conscience that is sought in a
candidate, but a subserviency to
party ties.

Wakefuiness.

When persons who do not other
wise appear to be sick suffer from
Continued wakefulness, this is a sure
sign of mental exhaustion. When
any part of the body is specially ex-
erted, the blood flows in increased
quantity to that part. So when
there is any stress laid on the brain,
the head becomes sureharged with
blood, as is shown by the flushing
of the face. If this condition is
long continued, the blood-vessels
lose the power of contracting. Then
the brain remains in an excited
state, even when the mind has no
longer any desire to work, and it
cannot take its proper rest in sleep.
In order to enjoy refreshing sleep
it is necessary that the blood is not
concentrated in the head, but diff
fused eq ally th gh all parts of
the body. This is probably the rea-
son why the warm bath just before
going to bed is SO conductive to a
good nights repose. 1t is, however
the best way.not to allow the mind
to get excited near the hour of rest,
but to let it run down gradually,
like clock, in the evening.
There have. been some wonderful
cases of sleeplessness caused by
undue mental exertion. Boerhaave,
the Dutch philosopher, tells us that
at one time he was so absorbed in
particular study that he did not
close his eyes in sleep for six weeks.
This seems incredible.

TN Pay You for That.

A hen tired on a ducks foot. She
did not mean to do it, and it did not
hurt much. But the duck said !:
"Pll pay you for thatr' So the
duck flew at the hen; but as she did
so her wing struck an old goose,
who stood close by.
"Pll pay you for that!' cried the
goose, and she flew at the duck i;
but as she did so her foot tore the
fur of a cat, who was just then in
the yard.
'rl pay you for thatF' cried the
cat, and she few at the goose, but
as she did so, her tail brushed the
eye Of a sheep, who was near.
"rn pay you for thatr' cried the
sheep, and he ran at the cat; but, as
he did so, his foot hit the foot of a
dog, who lay in the sun.
"rr pay you for thatP' cried he,
and he ran at the sheep; but, as he
did so, his leg struck an old COW,
who stood at the gate.
cpl pay you for that!" cried she,
and she ran at the dog; but, as she
did so. her horn grazed the skin Of
a horse, who stood by tree.

Putfs of pills and patent plasters;
Now at the theateT in white cravat,
Claw hammer coat and hat;
Then to the prize-ring, where you write
Siekening details of a bloody fight
Back to the city, just in time
To report the sermon of some divine;
Steamboat collisions, sTnash-up of trains,
Election returns to bother your brains;
Agents dramatic, with long-winded story
To write up his star TO theatieal glory.
Deaths and marriages, murders, rows,
Balls and parties, minstrel shows,
Stock speculations, bubbles of air,
Tossed about by bull and bear;
Praising the limb in the dancers pose,
And next the calves in the cattle shows;
Pencil in hand at the racing course,
Taking the time of trotting horse;

And then ofa row in a college boat.

Scolding is a habit very easily
formed. 1t is astonishing how soon
one who indulges in it at all becomes
addicted to it and confirmed in it.
It is an unreasonable habit. Per-
sons who once get in the way of
scolding always find something to
scold about. If there were nothing
else they would fall a scolding at
the mere absence of anything to
scold at. It is an extremely dis
agreeable habit. The constant
rumbling of distant thunder, cater
wauling, or a hand-organ under
ones window would be less unpleas-
ant The habit is contagious. Once
introduced into family, it is pret-
ty certain, in a short time, to affect
all the members. If one of them
begins finding fault about some
thing or nothing, the others are apt
very soon to take it up, and a very
unnecessary bedlam created.

What Farmers Should do for
Their Sons.

If farmers would study their sons
tastes more, and would strive to
make them take an interest in
farming when they are twelve or
fourteen years old; first taking ag-
ricultural papers and by giving them
stock and land Of their own. A
calf, or colt or sheep given to a
twelve year old boy is one of the
best investments a farmer can make,
because it gives the child an idea of
ownership, and a plot of ground
where he can raise strawberries, mel
ons or anything ne pleases, attaches
his heart to the farm.
Teach your boys to plant, prune,
graft, bud and carry to market all
the fruits your farm can raise. at
the same time let them eat all they
desire of it, and you viii not hear
of them wanting to leave the old
homestead when they are of age.
You must satisfy the longings Of
the boys before you can force them
to accept the toll of farming.
Yon must show them the elements
of success in agriculture, and that
by care and attention it can be made
to nav well-auite as well as store
keeping and the like before you can
convince them that a farmers life
Is the most Independent and happi
est under the sun. You must en-
courage your boys By every means
in your power, to love the home
stead and think it the best an6
brightest spot upon the earth, ther
yon may have no fear Of their leav

on the cast of a die; and it be-
come us as people. to decide With
profound and mature deliberation
who shall be entrusted with the
serious and delicate responsibility.
1t is idle TO sit down and lament
our condition in simple inactivity;
it is puerile to attempt merely TO
postpone the evil day by make
shifts and temporary expedients.
It is unjust and futile TO eensure an
administration when their hands
have not been upheld by compe-
tent General Assembly. For u
term Of years our people have look
ed anxiously to the convention of
each new Legislature with confident
expectation that the problem was to
