A ABACKwooDsMAN's s MIsTAKE.-When
the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada
was completed, in 1860, many of the
farmers had never seen or heard OF a
railway but it soon became known that
passengers could travel by it, and even
cattle.
A backwoodsman, who was indebted
to country merchant, was pushed by
the latter for payment Of the amount
due, and the only means of iqui-
dating the debt was by taking fat OK
to the Quebec market. For this pur-
pose he tied his OK to the back of his
cart, and drove to the railway station, a
distance Of nine miles.
On surveying the train, and seeing an
iron railing around the platform Of the
hind car, he concluded that that was the
place 70 tie his OK, which be accordingly
did, taking q place in second-class car
himself, forward.
Presently the train began to move of
slowly. The speed increased quicker
and quicker it went. The poor man be-
came very anxious, the speed still in
creasing, until large drops Of sweat be-
came visible on his brow. By this time
the conductor had reached his car to
collect the tickets. Nearly out Of
breath, the man ran to him, exclaim-
ing
"Mr. Conductor, my OF will never
be able to keep up at this pace; it is
not possible"
"Y Your OK | Keep up to this pace |
What do you mean? I don't under
stand you. Have you oxen on board p
"Not on board, Of course. 1 tied
him to the railing of the hind car"
"You tied your OK to the railing Of the
hind car. Who told you TO do soP"
"No one but that is the way we al
ways do in the country"
OF course the conductor could not
stop his train before reaching the next
station, when, needless TO say, on look
ing for the OK, they found attached to
the rope pair Of horns, with q small
portion of the neck.

Imagination and Disease.

There is much more in this than many
people suppose; at least, the unobserv-
ing and unrehecting do not understand
how much influence and effect the will
and the imagination has over the health
and vigor of body and mind. A man of
strong resolution can bring on or resist
disease or unhappy feelings by the very
power of his will and mental actions.
The following is to the point:
DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF.
The Journal Of Health says: "To re-
gain or recover health, persons should
be relieved from all anxiety concerning
diseases The mind has power over the
body. For person to think he has a
disease, will often produce that disease.
This we see effected when the mind is
intensely concentrated upon the dis
ease of another. 1t is found in the hos
pitals that physicians and surgeons who
make a specially of a certain disease,
are liable to die of it themselves; and
the mental power is so great that some
times people die of diseases which they
only have in imagination. We have
seen person sea-sick, in anticipation OF
voyage, before reaching the vessel.
We have known a person to die of can
Ger in the stomach when he had no can
Ger or any other mortal disease. A man,
blindfolded and slightly pricked in the
arm, has tainted and died from believ-
ing that he was bleeding to death.
Therefore, persons in health, and de-
string to continue 80, should at all
times be cheerful and happy; and those
who are sick should have their atten-
ton drawn as much as possible from
themselves. 1t is by their faith men are
saved, and also by their faith that they
die. If man wills not to die, he can
live in spite of disease; and if he has
little or no attachment to life, he will
slip away as easily as a child falls
asleep. Men live by their souls, and
not by their bodies. Their bodies have
no life of themselves; they are only re-
sources of hfe-tenements of their souls.
The will has much to do in continuing
the physical occupancy, or giving it
up"
