Disagreeable Things.

1t is q great pity that we can't get
along in the world without running
against disagreeable things, or rather,
have disagreeable things run against us.
Strange that we can't live our little
short life without being called upon to
do things from which we shrink. But
however great the pity, and however
strange it may be, every now and then
a most disagreeable thing will challenge
our action, and we must either dodge it
or do it.
Now, friend, take this advice, if you
have disagreeable thing to do. In the
first place, don't do it by proxy; but do
it yourself. Face the responsibility
face the possible disagreeableness of the
experience; meet the necessity boldly;
be as brave for yourself as you would
have any one else be. Again: Not on
" do it yourself, but do it promptly:
don't put it off. In the delay you viii
be beset more and more with the tempta-
ton not to do it at all. So suffer this
counsel, that when you have disagree
able thing to do, do it at once and do it
yourself : Golden Rule.

to the butcher or baker was fumigated;
thieves wandered through the deserted
shops and dwellings, and sometimes
died there. Fearful tales were told of
nurses who smothered and robbed their
patients; CT deeds of horror that were
never punished; of the infected who ran
shrieking through the streets, and fell
dead; of homes where all had died to-
esther. August, September, passed on,
with ever-growing horrors; in Novem-
Der, the colder weather seemed TO check
the disease, and many who came back
too hastily were infected and died. AT
last, in December, the great deliver
ance came; the pestilence had ceased.
A wild. fearful joy spread over the
afflicted city its people came back once
more to the desolate scene, maddened
with strange exhilaration. Those who
survived were crazed with the joy of
living. Once more the great city was
thronged with the rich, busy, gay; the
Court and Kihg came back; rigid law
was passed to punish Dissenters; the
revels and crimes of Whitehall began
again; but nothing was done by Court
or King to prevent the return of that
awful scourge that had so recently
passed away. A mightier power in
tervened. A new calamity seemed to
prevent recurrence of the old. The
great fire in London soon followed,
swept over the tainted ground, con-
sumed churches and church-yards-St.
Paul's and Ste. Mary's-shops, ware
houses, palaces, novels, cleansed many
a narrow close, purified many scene OF
horror The city was rebuilt with wider
streets, better buildings. Perhaps its
citizens had learned neatness and pro-
priety; but it is certain that the plague
never came again, and that by the Ia
bors of modern science the vast capital
has been made one of the healthiest and
most fortunate of cities.
Let ms study the science of health.
Let us have sanitary party, league
for sanitary improvement. The plaques
that desolated the world in the Middle
Ages were the result in great part of ig-
norance; they have been nearly driven
| back to their Eastern source. The pest
! that ravaged London still haunts the
Levant; the cholera is seldom absent
| from HindOstan. The Black Death, il
we are indolent, may come again. Hap
PLY the laws of health have been taught
in the family, the school. Education
has baflled disease in all civilized coun-
tries, and checked at least its fiercesi
forms But in our New World cities we
have sometimes forgotten the lessons Of
the past. We have trusted too much tC
our pure skies, limpid streams, brilliant
suns or biting frost. The laws of health
disobeyed in New Orleans have made ii
the scene of constantly recurring dis.
ease. From New Orleans the pest i:
conveyed to the neglected towns anC
villages of the North. Who can tel
how fast it may spread in the future
what new scenes it may visit? Let Us a
least elect Mayors and Aldermen in oul
cities who will study and enforce the
laws of public health, who have suffi
cient intelligence to avert calamity
whose ignorance will not bring upon u;
at least pest equal to that of London il
1865, or New Orleans or Vicksburg.-
