"CATCHING COLD. "-Dr.IE. Wentworth
says that as rule sneeze is the warning
nature gives that some part of the body is
exposed to a cooler temperature than the
other parts, and that the sneezer is ''catch-
ing cold" Next to the warning, what is
the use of the sneeze? 1t throws open
the pores of the whole body and induces a
gentle perspiration in word, it throws
off the cold. A child rarely sneezes more
than twice-persplration is readily induced
in youth; an old man, on the contrary,
sneezes half dozen to dozen times, with
loudly explosive ''catchogue'" 1t is har-
der to set him perspiring. When one is
sitting by an open window and finds him
self sneezing, nature tells him he is taking
cold. He should get up instantly, walk
about and take full tumbler of cold wa
ter to keep up the gentle perspiration that
the sneeze set in motion. If he does this
he will not be told an hour after that he
has "cold IN his head" or chest, OF
lungs.

HONOR and justice, reason and equity,
go great way in procuring prosperity to
those who use them; and, in case of failure,
they secure the best retreat and the most
honorable consolation.

Whoever sincerely endeavors to do all
the good he can, will probably do much
more than he imagines, OR will ever know
to the day of judgment, when the secrets
of all hearts shall be made manifest.

The Mistake Of Marrying Brains.

1t is very gratifying to woman, and to
man who is hard-headed, downright logi =
cal, and just touch cynical to the rest Of
the world, all gentleness, and considera-
ton, and sympathy when he is with her
alone; and if we suppose he has any OBJ
ject in advancing himself with her-in 9TH
er words, that he is slightly in love with
her-he will contrive to make still more
apparent to her the contrast between his
disregard for others and his Difference to
her. Such man may be very agreeable
aud charming, but that is no reason for
falling in love with him, much less for
marrying him. That in him which is de-
lightful may be had without any marriage
ceremony and, indeed, you will get more
of it from him as stranger than as hus-
band. A brilliant man is always less bril-
liant with his wife than with nybody else.
Why this is so must leave to philosophers
to explain. But such is the fact. In plain
words, you cannot marry mans wit, bril-
liancy or learning, for these belong to eY-
scholar are no more love attention than
from a blockhead. And if the blockhead
can pay his wife practical and tangible at
tention, in the shape Of a delightful and
commodious home, while the erudite per-
son can only wish he had the means where
with to confer one, the blockhead seems to
me to be the more desirable husband.

SWEET LOVE AND I.

SW Lii LUvE AMI l.
Sweet love and have strangers been
These many years.
So many years.
He came to me when life was green
And free from fears,
These present fears.
He came and for Il little space
My life was gladdened by his grace;
But soon he fed and joy gave place
70 grief and Tears.
20, Love come to me once again!"
My lone heart signs,
So sadly signs.
''Recall thy fearless nature, then,''
Sweet love replies,
Softly replies.
sThou canSt not! Then cannot be
The same that once was to thee.
There's no room in tifdheart for me,
When fears arise"

ADVANTAGES OF CRYING.-A French
physician is out III long dissertation on
the advantages of groaning and crying in
general, and especially during surgical OPP
erations. He contends that groaning and
crying are two grand operations by which
nature allays anguish that those patients
who give way to their natural feelings more
speedily recover from accidents and opera
lions than those who suppose it un worthy
man to betray such symptoms of coward
ice as either to groan or cry.
He tells of man who reduced his pulse
from one hundred and twenty-six to sixty
inlthe course of few hours by giving full
vent to his emotions. If people are at all
unhappy about anything, let them go into
their rooms and comfort themselver with
loud boo-hoo, and they will feel a hun
dred per cent. better afterward.
In accordance with the above, the cry
ing of children should not be too greatly
discouraged. If it is Systematically re-
pressed the results may be st. Vitus' dance,
epileptic fits, or some other diease of the
nervous system. What is natural is near
ly always useful, and nothing can be more
natural than the crying of children when
anything occurs to give them either physi-
cal or mental pain.

DRIED BEEF.-Heat milk and water

should be sliced as thin as possible, and
Immediately remove from the fire, as the
less it is cooked the better: if the beef is
very salt it will need freshening a little in
hot water before going into the gravy, but
if not, it will season it just right without
freshening.
