THE SUNSHINE OF SICKNESS.

Severe illness is great teacher. 1t

stay is often prolonged, as if it were
not an unsolicited visitor. At first we

not one of numerous things can 90 on
well without us. But this original i'm
preston soon wears away. We perceive
that the great machinery of the world
moves steadily on without our help, and
even without SO much as noting our alb

steadily diminishes, until, after awhile,
we wonder at the intensity of the inter

we have come to regard as of very little
The days seem longer, because we have
attained acalm, patiept, reflective mood;
but they also have become pleasanter.
Pain, if we suffer it, we have become ac-
customed to; and maybe we feel new
veneration for science on account of the
relief which medical knowledge has af-
forded us. If the morning lowers, we
contine our thoughts within doors, where
all is cheerful. 1t is the sunshine which,
on bright afternoon, streams into the
windows of the still sick chamber, which
awakens the greatest flood of reflections

Doc RESURRECTED By TRANSIT SION
OF BLooD.-Thc Buffalo Express SAYS !:
The other day a delicate and difficult
surgical operation was performed at
the medical college, in illustration of
the theory of the TRANSMISSION of blood
The operation took place under the
direction of Prof Mason, teacher of
physiology, and was witnessed by the
entire faculty, the students and a
large number of other persons Two
dogs were secured, one a little larger
than the other. They were both placed
under the influence of ether and rendered
insensible. One end of thin rubber
tube, filled with bicarbonate of soda, to
keep the blood from coagulating, was then
inserted into the carotid artery of dog
No. ], the larger one, and the other end
into the jugular vein of dog No. >. The
tube was securely fastened, 80 that there
was no danger of its slipping. A vein
WAS then opened in tho latter and all the
blood drawn off until respiration ceased,
and the dog was to all intents and pr!-
poses dead. by the aid of an air-pump
artificial respiration WAS kept up in the
body and the blood turned on through
the tube from dog No. ]. In few min
utes, after about four ounces of blood had
been transferred into the carcass of the
dog, he began to bIeathe. His respira-
lions gradually returned and in short
time were nearly as strong as before the
operation.

EXITING SNlILS IN PARIS.

Lucy II. Hooper in Pbiladelphia Telegraph.
Large baskets filled with snails are now
to be seen in the windows of the fruit
erers and the green grocers. The edible
snails of France appear to be OF pecu-
liar species. They have all shells of Il
pale gray hue, and vary in size from that
OLA small English walnut down to that
of Il filbert. The best and most recherche
qualities come from the wine growing
districts that produce the Bordeaux
wines. Horrible Shiny little beasts that
they are, how can any civilized being
pretend to eat such nasty creatures An
American gentleman, whom | met lately
at a dinner party. gave me an amusing
account of the sufierings to which his
pOliteness toward a snail-eating party
once exposed him. He was on visit to
French family residing in the country
near Bordeaux. His host was in antici-
pation of visit from some friends who
were extremely fond of snails, and he
wished to prepare for them treat in adj
vance. So large number of snails were
procured, and were plentifully supplied
with fresh vine leaves, while buckets of
cold water were thrown over them every
day to keep them in clean and healthful
condition. At last the appointed day, as
we'll as the expected guests, arrived, the
dinner hour came, and finally the dish of
the occasion was brought in, an immense
tureen full of snails in their shells. al
did not dare to refuse to take sOme," said
my informant, knowing how very sem
sitive the provincial French are respect
ing any slight offered to their manners
and customs, etc. / took few snails on
my plate and looked round at my fellow
guests to sec how they were going to dis
pose of the creatures. Each person was
provided with a small, one pronged steel
instrument like nut-pick, wherewith
they adroitly drew the animals whole out
of their shells and then popped them into
their mouths. / initiated the example set
me, and got the snail well out of its shell
and into my mouth without any trouble.
But once got the horrid creature on
my tongue, found that it would be i'm
possible for me 10 swallow it. My whole
nature seemed to rise up in revolt against
the Shiny, sickening, unnatural morsel,
and was forced to conceal it in my
napkin" {. What did it taste like?'' ]
queried. " have not the faintest idea"
was the answer. 60 I was so sckcned and
disgusted that all l could think of was
how to get the creature out of my mouth
rs quickly as possible"

FRENCH ATHEISTS.

There is an etching of Goya which has
more than once frightened me in my
hours of doubt 1t is that where he rep
resents dead man raising the stone OF
his grave to write on the wall of the
cemetery: NADIA! NADIA! Nothing-a
word more terrible than that of Dante
over the door of hell. Nothing in death
Annihilation under the grave-stone, a
door which closes and opens no more, a
soul extinguished in the darkness of the
tomb. Is not this word of Goya's dead
man the last conclusion of atheism
Nothing beyond the grave-neither soul
nor light nor God. But have not all
these whom you have lost also raised the
cover of their graves to say to you that
they have found God, and that they are
waiting for you? The soul is the radi-
ance of God, said Christian philosopher.
But the atheist concludes that the soul
does not exist, because there is no God.
Do you know what atheists are? They
are free-thinkers, all the more free be-
cause they never think at all. To have
liberal profession, they profess atheism.
Some of them have acquired the art of
free-thinking, as others Learn dancing and
never find fiddles, or learn the art of
loving and never find a sweetheart, or
learn the art of government and never
get portfolio. They initiate Dcscartes
in sponging away everything and putting
nothing in its place. Descartes said,
think, therefore I am. These gentlemen
would have trouble in proving their ex-
istence by this process. Formerly athe-
ism was the privilege of few philoso
pliers who had misread Epicurus; but of
late it has taken possession of those who
do not read at all. They are told that
God is a creation of men to frighten
children. After 50 many revolutions
against the kings of this world, it seemed
necessary to make an end of the kingdom
of heaven. Unfortunately, all these athe-
lists, who have summarily dethroned and
buried the Deity. still believe in him.
Therein lies their punishment, and the
thrown into the infinite grain of dust
which he has endowed with his intelli-
gence. He has said: "Let there be light"
and light was. But never since the
world was made have there been seen
men so determined to deny the light
now. Formerly the Titans rcvolted
against the gods, now it is the dwarfs.
1t would be farcical, if it were not 50
