Good Living and Dyspepsia.

a GOOD LIVING is said to cause dys-
pepsia but the most healthy people I
have ever known have been among
those who lived well-who ate freely
several times day of the most nutri-
tious food. By some it is said that
tobacco, snuff, tea, coffee, butter, and
even bread caused this complaint: but
whoever will make inquiries on this
subject throughout the community
will find that this is seldom true. In
fact dyspepsia prevails, according to
my experience, altogether the most
among the temperate and careful
among those who are careful as regards
what they eat and drink, and the labor
they put upon the stomach, but eX-
ceedingly careless how much laborthey
put upon that more delicate organ,
the brain. Such people often eat moth
ing but by the advice of the doctor, or
some treatise on dyspepsia, or by
weight; nor drink anything that is not
certainly harmless; they chew every
mouthful until they are confident, on
mature reflection, that it cannot hurt
the stomach. Why, then, are they
dyspeptics? Because, with all their
carefulness, they pay no attention to
the excitement Of the brain. They
continue to write two or three SER
mons OF essays every week, besides
reading volume or two, with maya
zines, reviews, newspapers, etc., and
attending to much other business cal
culated to excite the mind. To me it
is not strange that such persons have
nervous and stomachic affections.
The constant excitement of the brain
sends an excess of blood to the head,
and therefore other organs are weak
ened, and morbid sensibility is pro-
duced, which renders the stomach liza

causes.-Dr. Holbrook's Liter Com

A Greek Wedding.

A CORRESPONDENT. of the London
Sto7adard says: q was fortunate
enough to be in Patras on the occasion
of a Greek wedding, which is an inter
.esting and peculiar ceremony. We'd
dings among the Greeks are for the
most part sOlemniZed in the evening
and at home, and from the nature of
the rite must be very trying on the
persons principally concerned. A small
table is placed in the center of the
room, on one side of which stand the
bride and bridegroom, each holding a
long lighted candle on the opposite
side of the officiating priests. Behind
the former the best man takes his
place; he has an important part to fill
in the ceremony and is ranked as a re-
lation from the time of the marriage.
The room is of course brilliantly light
ed, and the numerous guests throng
as closely as they can toward the CEN
ter in order to gain the better view.
Many prayers are chanted by the
priests and their assistants, unintelli-
gible even to the ears of a classical
scholar, with the exception of the
often repeated tKy''5e EleiSop,' which
forms SO prominent a part in almost
every Greek service. There is very
elaborate ritual-the signing bride and
bridegroom on the forehead three times
with the ring, the blessing two Wreaths
which are afterward placed on their
heads by the best man, and, at a later
part of the rite, interchanged over and
over again, the drinking of wine three
time from the same cup, the kissing
by both Of the Office book and of the
priests hand who has made them one,
and, finally, the strangest part Of the
ceremony, when the clergy, closely fol-
lowed by the bride and bridegroom
hand in hand, the best man, and the
nearest relatives of the newly married
couple, make the tour of the table
three times. This is said to be a relic
Of heather days, while the drinking of
wine from the same cup has been con-
tinued from the Jews.
s. When the ceremony, which lasts
three-quarters of an hour, is over and
the young couple have been duly
kissed and congratulated by their as
sembled friends, the festive part of the
evening begins. Servants appear on
the scene, carrying large trays heaped
with bonbons, sugar plums, and arti-
fetal fruit of different sorts. These
are presented to the guests, who are
expected to help themselves literally
and to take to their friends at home as
much as they care to carry. Cooling
drinks of various kinds are also
brought in never-ending supply, and
the evening ends, sometimes with a
ball, sometimes with the departure Of
bride and bridegroom for their own
home" aa ts@ Assays s-t@

Old Tools.

[ DO NOT believe in throwing away
old tools while they are good and can be
safely used. Iwould not lay aside an
old wagon simply because it was old
and out of style, or an old moving
machine, which ran easily and did the
work well, because some improve
ments had been secured for newer ma
chimes. [ believe in economy in the
use Of things already in hand as well
as in making purchases Of new ones.
But do not believe in the miscalled
economy which refuses to buy any
thing new just as long as the old can
possibly be used. When, through use
or'age, any tool, implement, machine,
or article OF any kind, becomes weak
and unsafe, it ought at once either to
be sent off for repairs or else de-
stroyed. Many farmers lay these an
tiquated implements aside, and only
use them in emergencies. But this is
Improbable and dangerous. A tool
that is not fit to be used, and that is
known to be unsafe, ought 3aeUer to be
used. Yet some men will go around
with old worn-out wagons, which they
know are not safe to use, will drive
spirited horses in rotten harnesses
which are tied together with cotton
strings, will use machines which

and be almost sure to seriously
injure them if they do fail, and do
many other reckless things, all because
they do not want to be to the trouble
and expense of getting articles that
are strong and safe. If the danger of
evil from this cause was wholly con-
fined to those who are responsible for
it, the case would certainly be bad

Little Children in English Brick

Mr.. BLENKINSOPF, Sub-InSpector of

enough, but it is made much worse
than this by the fact that parties who
are wholly innocent are obliged to
share the danger with those who are
guilty. My wagon was damaged and
my horse came very near being killed
by runaway team. The man who
owned the team knew that his horse
was liable to scare when papers were
blowing near it, yet he deliberately
tied and left it in front of building
against which some show company
had placed its advertising board COW
cred with loose and tiuttering papers.
And what made bad matter much
worse, he only tied the horse with a
small, rotten strap which was not fit
to use for anything, which would offer
no resistance to a horse that desired to
get away. Such cases are altogether too
common. But bad as they are, they
are not the worst which occur from
this prolific source of evils.

bed of friend who, by the breaking
of an old chain, has received a fatal
injury. Had good cnain been used
he could not have been hurt. But his
employer preferred to use the old
rather than buy new one, and the re-
suit of this false economy Will be the
death of a faithful and trusted man.
Such things are not simple accidents.
Some one is responsible for them
some one is greatly to blame. The in
cidents related above carry their own
moral. In the subject upon which |

Tho County Poor House.

The, Criminal Court grand jury, at
the request Of the Shelby County Quar-
terly Court, visited the Poor House on
the 9Th instant to investigate certain
charges made against those controlling
the institution by Hugh Mcconnell, an
inmate, who claimed that he was not well
fed and was badly treated. The grand
jury reported to the County Court to-day
as follows;
We, the grand jurors, visited the Poor
House on Saturday, the 9Th inst, and
made a thorough examination of the
premises and found the management all
that DR.. Duncan, the excellent Superin-
tendent, can make it with the means at
his command. The premises were neat
and clean and the inmates well fed, as
we can see from the amount of food
given each inmate. We found some dis.
contented parties there who complained,
and they would complain had they quar-
tiers atSthe Peabody Hotel. We do not
think the honorable County Court nor
the Taxpayers should pay the slightest
attention to reports coming from discon-
tented inmates. DR.. Duncan ia doing
ell he can, and he is the right man in
the right place. Brown bread was issued
one day on account of -four giving out,
but only for one meal. We examined a
sample Of it and found it good bread.
Punishment was inflicted on the inmate
Mcconnell, upon one occasion, for moi
complying with the regulations, which
punishment, we think, was just and
right. r. S. JONES,

of never becoming tiresome and one that

operas, but it is full Of bewitching little
melodies, and the musical construction

graceful and not unfrequently intricate

the music Of Lefty impressive, it is ex.

are solos, duets, and trio and quintette
also, which are fill of the characteristics
Of B,lfe's happiest vein, tender in theme,
