Point for Teachers.

ANY one who has had the opportunity
of seeing the manuscript which mas
been offered 10 periodical or publish
ing house of any kind. will remember
that a large number of these manu-
scripts were chiefly declined because
of their sentimentality. The curious
thing aboutit is, that the sentimentaiity
is not confined to t,.e writings of sick
persons and young children, but it Is
found in the sketches, stories or essays
Of adults in good bodily health, of peo-
pie who. are not without practice In
composition" of persons whose duty
it is to teach others, and especially the
young, how to write. We should De
pleased to base these Icsgilory observa-
tions upon a collection of papers con-
tributed by the Professors of Rhetoric,
of English Literaturr, and the like, In
our seminaries and colleges. Such a
collection, if we mistake not, would
have vast deal of sentimentality
sugared through it. 1t would have a
great deal of that kind of gush, more
or less stately and grammatical, which 1t
is of some consequen-e that young peo-
pie should be tsr -. TO avoid, both IN
their private and their printed commu-
nications. After reading what Charles
Francis Adams so forcibly said in his
Amherst address, on what should be
taught in the higher institutions of
learning, we wish that someone should
make an equally impressive harangue
on this pre- q, rOint OF teaching teach
ers not to teach sentimental writing.

Conditions of Insanity.


NJ. Meyer, of Hamburg, asserts that
all mental diseases fall into two great
classes. In one of these, the mental
action exhibits state of the intellect
below the normal intelligence. and here
there is evident weakness or confusion
of mind; this diseased condition is idO-
pathic-comes from the brain-and if,
in case of any patient of IS class. there
appears state of excitement. this ex-
citement indicates at once fever. In
patients of the second class, DR.. Meyer
says the mental strength is not below
the normal standard. but the intellect
ual activity is wrong in direction; the
insanity in a case of this class is SYM
pathetic or reflected, that is, it does
not arise from a diseased brain, but the
cause is to be sought in some other
organ and part of the body-the organs
of generation, the digestive organs, &c.

OYSTER SoUP FOR INvALIDs.-Procure
the largest oysters; remove half dozen
from the can, one at time, TO plate.
Insert fork into the solid flesh, and
with sharp knife make a slit up and
down and across the abdominal cavity ;
slip the point of the knife under the
dark mass thus thus exposed and thor
oughly remove it, being as nice about it
as you would i'll dressing any other
fish, for the abdominal foulness of one
is as unsuited TO the weak stomach as
the other. Put into stew pans; pour out
proper share of liquor, a pint of water
and half gill OF cream add salt; pepper
if there be no fever; teaspoonful of
lemon juice, or two of pure cider vim
egar. Bring just to the boil and pour
into a dish. Break in cracker or nicely
toasted thin slice of light bread. a little
fresh butter makes it richer.

COUGHING IN CHURCH.-The attend
ants Of churches where coughing is liza
BILE to be followed by critical remarks
from the minister should know that
coughing is not such necessity as many
imagine. 1t aItakes of the nature of a
habit. There is no need for coughing at
every little irritation in the throat. You
will be surprised on making an effort to
suppress your cough to see how little
coughing you can get along with. Were
a man to stand threatening you with a
club or pistol and Offering TO blow your
brains out at the first cough you would
find that the will power is most eiiica-
cious in suppressiDg these bronchial in
suTrections. A French surgeon used to
say whenever he entered the wards of
the hospital, ''The first patient vino
coughs will be deprived of food to-day"

A SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CISDERs IN
IHE EYE.-Persons travelling by rail-
way, are subject to continued annoy
ance from the flying cinders. On get
ting into the eyes they are not only
painful for the moment, but are often
the cause of long suffering, that ends
in total loss OF sight. a very simple
and effective cure is within the reach
of every one, and would prevent much
suffering and expense, were it more
generally known. Ii is simply one or
two grains OF flaxseed. These may be
placed in the eye without injury or pain
TO that delicate organ, and shortly they
begin to swell and dissolve glutinous
substance that covers the ball of the
eye, enveloping any foreign substance
that may be in it. The irritation or
cutting of the membrane is thus pre-
vented, and the annoyance may soon
be washed out. a dozen of these grains
slowed away in the vest pocket may
prove, in an emergency, worth their
number in gold.
