Mr.. EpIroR:-I've just been read

to be married, in pleasant parlor in

the dinner was already in course of
preparation, and cake and wine to

The occasion was too impressive for
the principal characters to smile, but
a half suppressed giggle ran through
the audience, and even to this day |

Sounds at Night.

Every one has noticed how many
singular sounds are heard at night
noises apparently unexplainable, and
consequently mysterious. Many a
ghost story has sprung from an un-
accountable noise; many a person
terrified beyound measure by an un-
expected sound at midniget. Sir
David Brewster gives an excellent ac-
count of a mysterious night-sound
which would have frightened many
persons, but which proved innocently
harmless when tested by steady OBJ
server. A gentleman heard a strange
sound every night, soon after getting
into bed; his wife heard it also, but
not at the time when she retired, a
little earlier than he. No probable
cause could be assigned, and the eff
feet upon the imagination became
rather unpleasant. He found, some
time afterward, that the sound came
from q wardrobe which stood near the
head of his bed. He almost always
opened and closed this wardrobe
when undressing, but as the door was
little tight he could not quite close
it. The door, possibly effected by
gradual changes of temperature,
forced itself open with sort of dull
sound which was over in an instant.
From the lady not being in the habit
Of using that wardrobe, the mystery
became associated with her husband
only. Had they given way to imag-
ination, and never investigated the
affair, another haunted house would
have been added to the long row al
ready standing.

Breathing Through the Nose.

There are various reasons for con-
sidering the nose the natural outlet
of the lungs, and hence various adj
vantages are to be derived from
breathing through the nose.
ID. The internal nose is studded
with hairs, which in some degree at
least prevent the ingress of noxious
matters in the air we breathe. Dust
is strained out; and it is confidently
asserted, by persons who have tested
the matter, that miasmas are prevent
cd from entering the blood if one
breathes only through the nose.
Some persons have lived in malari-
Gus districts, slept on the banks OF
malarious rivers, ETC., for years, and
vet have escaped all the forms of fe
yer which usually followed a resi-
dence in the country, who have as
cribed their exemption solely to the
settled habit of breathing only
through the nose.
Sd. BY breathing through the
nose, little, if any, air passes into the
lungs until it has come in contact
with the membranes of the nose,
which are supposed to possess some
power of neutralizing malarious and
contagious poisons.
4th. BY drawing our breath only
through the nose, the air is warmed
by contact with the membranes be-
fore it reaches the lungs, and so in
famations and congestions OF those
organs are avoided.
Per contra, the habit, so common,
of breathing through the mouth has
many disadvantages. In this way a
great volume of air is taken in, load
ed with dust, malarious or contagious
impurities, ETC., of which we are ut
terly unconscious until the blood has
been poisoned, and serious, perhaps
fatal, disease has been inaugurated.
The cold air, being taken in in great
volume and with great rapidity, chills
the lungs, whereas, if breathed
through the nose, it would be warmed
before reaching the lungs.
The habit of breathing through
the mouth is caused largely by weak.
ness of the respiratory muscles, and
one excellent method of strengthen
ing those muscles is to breathe
through the nose.
1t is certainly as wise a plan as
sucking air through silver tube, so
often recommended. Then breathe
through the nose, as Nature indicates,
if you would have good health.-Sci-
entifc american.

love and pity, not in anger, did sh'
speak to him.
"Come home, Edward; they'll hur
you, my poor love; come home Will
me-"
Mad as he was-filled with the de
mons of drink, to the exclusion o.
the soul God had given him--the
soft, sweet voice, the fond touch oi
the white fingers awakened some
memory of the past in the mans
breast.
"Go you home, girl" he whispered
"Pll kill them. Don't fret. I'll kill
'em, and
"Come home, darling" she whis-
pered again; and he stopped and
gave her a kiss. At that the boys
yelled derisively, and flung more
mud and stones at them. One threw
a stone--a heavy stone, sharp point
ed and jagged. Whether he even
attempted to strike the man is doubt
full, but the missil few fiercely
through the air, and crushed against
the golden head of the devoted wife.
A stream of blood gushed from the
white temple and poured down upon
her bosom. Only with a quivering
shudder of pain she felt for the face
of the man who had sworn to love
and cherish her, and had broken that
VOW so utterly while hers had been
so truly kept.
"Good-by, Edward" she whisper
ed; 81 can't see you now-kiss me!
Oh, he good to baby! Be good to
babyw and no word more.
The crowd was hushed to silence.
The culprits skunk away in terror.
A sobered man bent over the dead
woman, whose hands had dropped
away from his breast; and the love,
and truth, and tenderness of the
heart were all manifest to him in that
terrible moment-manifest in vain,
for repentance could not restore her
to life, nor blot out the love which had
crushed her heart through all those
weary days of her married life.
"What is the matter here?" cried a
voice, as a portly man forced his way
through the crowd. "a woman
hurt?'
"a woman killed." said a police
man, "and that brute is the cause of
ALL"
The gentleman bent forward, and
started back with cry of anguish.
at is Ruth" he said. "My Ruth"
and fell back into the policeman IS
arms in death-like swoon.
forgiveness and repentance had
come alike too late for poor Ruth
Holly. Her father could give her
nothing but grave.
The child, born amidst want and
penury, nourished by a half starved
mother, pined away and died in the
luxurious home to which grandfather
bore it; and now rs the old man sits
alone in his splendid mansion, he
sometimes hears II strange, wild cry
in the street outside, through which
drunken creature reels and stag
gers, bowling ever and anon, "Ruth,
Ruth, RuthT'
1t is Edward Holly, who, ever in
his drunken madness, searches for
his murdered wife. 1t is the painful,
horrible, heart-breaking wreck OF
the once splendid beautiful man OF
talent, who had only one fault.

ONLY ONE FAULT;
Or. The Drunkard'S Wife.

You may see it in Kensal Green
Cemetery. A splendid tombstone,
with a woman's name upon it. Not
Ruth Holly-though that is the
name under which you shall know
her-but a prouder name, and one
you may have heard. Flowers grow
about her tomb, and the turf lies
softly over it. Yea would scarcely
guess her life and its sad end as you
stand there. Rather would you fancy
that love and tenderness surrounded
one over whom such costly pile of
sculptured marble rears itself, from
her birth to her death.
1t is story such as l seldom
write-this life of hers-one that
cannot be ended by happy reunions
and the sweet sounds of marriage
bells; but there are too many such
stories in the world to be quietly
passed over, if happily there be any
warming in them. The lives of others
are, if we read them rightly, the hest
sermons ever preached; and this one
of Ruth Holly'sis one only too true.
Yet it began very sweetly, like some
old pastoral poem.
She loved and was beloved again,
and the man she loved had only one
fault. He was young, he was brave,
he was witty, he was handsome, he
was generous; his lore was devotion,
7 his friendship no lukewarm thing OF
words; he had great talent and great
power. His eloquence has thrilled
many an audience worth the thrill
ing. What he wrote touched the soul
to the very quick. He was an anna
teur painter and musician, and every
where was loved and honored, and
admired. He had only one fault in
the world-he drank too much wine
at times. When he did so he turned
so said convivial friends, into very
demigod. 1t was wrong; but not so
bad as might have been, and he
would sow his wild oats some day
they said, loving him as his friends
all loved him; and so Ruth thought
Sweet, loving, beautiful Ruth, .te
whom he had plighted his troth, and
wooed in verse and song, and with
his most eloquent eyes, long before
he put his passion into words; but
so did not think Ruth Martins ia
ther. This one fault of Edward
Holly's overshadowed his virtues in
his eyes; and he refused him his
daughters hand, giving him the
reason why, plainly and not kindly

THE powerful philosopher of the
Danbury News occasionally digs up
great moral truth. For instance,
he has learned that sick bed is 4
good place for observation. We learn
some things there which we could not
very well acquire elsewhere. Ore of
them is that two women whispering
in the next room can be plainly heard,
while you might lay there and yell at
the top of your voice without max
ing either or even both of them to-
gether hear you. We don't pretend
to understand this, but we know it
is so.

How they Smoke in Germany.
letter from Jane Swisshelm.l

LeLJcf lTOil odilc OWISSuOihi'J
The habit of smoking appears to
be unusual among German men, and
was told that it would be impossi-
BILE for me to live or travel in Ger
many on account of the illness which
tobacco-smoke always causes me; but
/ have found that, in all the smoke,
there is 30 little tobacco that it gives
me no inconvenience. From the
color l Judge that their cigars and
smoking weed are made of paper
stepped in weak solution of tobac-
co; and this is no doubt the reason
they feel no injurious consequences
from its use. Those who quote the
German habit of smoking to prove
that the use of tobacco in this way
is not unhealthful reason from false
premises. The Germans smoke, and
smoke by the hour; but they do not
smoke tobacco.
