DRINKING ICE WATER.

There is no more doubt that drinking ice wa
ter arrests digestion than there is that refrig-
orator would arrest perspiration. 1t drives
from the stomach its natural heat, suspends the
flow Of gastric juice, and shocks and weakens
the delicate organs with which it comes in con-
tact. An able writer on human diseases says.
"Habitual ice water drinkers are usually very
habby about the region of the stomach. They
complain that the food lies heavy on the pa
tient organ. They taste their dinner for hours
after it is bolted. They cultivate the use Of
stimulants to aid digestion. If they are intelli-
gent they read upon food and wha, the physo-
ogist has to say about it-how long it takes cab
bage and pork and beef and potatoes and other
meats and esculents to go through the process
Of assimilation. They roar at new bread, hot
cakes, fried meat, imagining these to have been
the cause of their maladies. But the ice water
goes down all the same, and finally friends are
called in to take a farewell look at one whom a
mysterious Providence has called to a cline
where, as far as is known, ice water is not used.
The number of immortal beings who go hence,
TO return no more, on account Of an injudicious
use of ice water, can hardly be estimated.-Bai.

Patience.

Were there no night We could not read the
The heavens would turn into binding
glare;
Freedom is best seen through the prison bars,
And rough seas make the haven passing
fair.
We connot measure joys but by their loss;
When blessings fade away, we see them

Our richest clusters grow around the cross,
And in the nighttime angles sing to men.
The seed must first lie buried deep in earth,
Before the lily opens to the sky;
So eight is sown," and gladness has its
birth
In the dark deeps where we can only cry.
Life out of death" is heavens unwrltten

Nay, it is written in myriad forms;
The victor's palm grows on the fields Of war,
And strength and beauty are the fruit of
Come then, my soul, be brave to do and bear:
Thy life is bruised that it may be more
sweet
The cross will soon be left, the crown Well
Nay, we will cast it at our savior's feet.
And up among the glories never told,
Sweeter than music of the marriage bell,
Our hands will strike the vibrant harps of

cd my uncle, afterwards, with many
apologies to the expert. .-34* ~:
" I suspected the trick from the first,
although it was very good specimen of
it.. The letters were too innocent, and
had too little point in them. But they
were done with admirable skill. The
grammer was complete; and the little
dots or marks which bunglers use to
guide them in writing the words which
are to be read were entirely absent. The
way in which the deception i, effected is
this: The correspondents, before COM
mencing, take sheet OF paper and cut
holes in it, which, of course in the two
half sheets, exactly cores pond. They
each took one half sheet, and when a let
ter is to be written, the writer so az
ranges the words that those intended to
be read shall appear in the holes when
the half-sheet is placed over the paper,
which is of the same size. When his
correspondent receives the letter, he
places his half-sheet over it, and reads
off the words, as you did. The difficulty,
which was so we'll conquered in this case,
is to make the sense run fuently, and to
prevent any visible break in the writing.
Without the half-sheet with the holes in
it, no one can have the; slightest clue to
the real meaning.
MY suspicious, once aroused, were
confirmed by the inquiries which I made.
The whole story about the sister
was a fabrication. The letters did
come from Jersey, the answers
went to Fleet Street, to the charge
of very notorious foreign agents. But if
our friend had not been fool enough to
leave his half-sheet in his desk, we might
have CROPPED in vain for the mystery"
Beaumont disappeared that night, and
was never heard Of again at the Admir-
atty, and his inquiries in Jersey. He had
madesan attempt to get admittance to
his room, but was scared by the sounds
he heard, and contriveo to escape to
France. The lady who acted the sister,
and who visited the Admiralty, partly to
put the authorities off their guard, and
probably also to interchange the key to
the cipher, was a Partisan celebrity who
both before and afterwards was renowne d
for her daring in political intrigue.

Fruit 81 Home

Few people seem to understand the
full value and health measure Of fruit up
on the table at home-especially where
they can be gathered fresh from the
home grounds. But as we advance il,
knowledge OF horticulture, so we shall &C
forward in our understanding of hygicnic
properties of small fruits at our hand
You commence with strawbcrri; s-they
| continue about a month. You pick, per-
haps, from six to twelve quarts a day
You have them on your table as . desert
if you please, at noe n, and your tea table
is loaded with them at evening, and you
want little else but bread and butter
Your family consumes, in one way or an
other, about eight quarts a day, and
while they last, no medicine for bodily
ailments are required, as quart Of straw
berries daily will generally dispel all
ordinary diseases no: settle permanently
in the system. After Strawberries aspber-
ries come and continue about three weeks
then we have blackberries, where the
climate is net too cold to have cultivate !!
varieties; then the culrant ri pens, which
remains until the early grapes mature;
and taking the season through, any fam
lily with half an acre of land in garden,
can grow small fruits that make country
life delightful, and at the same time
hundreds of dollars can be saved in the
supply Of table.

t. :Antipodes.

Night fills our earthly hemisphere,
And golden planets round and clear,
Like myriad watch-tires hung on high,
Burn in the hollow vault Of sky.
And, gazing up at them, I seem
To live within world OF dream,
AS though my life had strangely grown
One with the unknowable and unknown.
Then, turning to the earth, l see
Vague waves of mountain-land and lea,
And forest solitudes that loom
Through depths of overshadowing gloom.
And yonder. when pale moonlight falls
Down dusky avenues and walls,
A million hearts together beat
Some wild and fierce, some low and sweet.
All! this is night, supreme, profound,
And calm as waters underground,
When sleep with tender beauty bowers
Hearts heavy with the weight of hours.
Yet, while muse, my thoughts are borne
Through spacious labyrinths of morn
To ancient continents over seas
PeOpled with our antipodes:
And in this vision behold
Broad, luminous lands laid fold On fold,
And heights that lift their peaks of snow
Above green meadoW-Ways below;
I see gay, stately cities, where
Day breathes upon the languid air,
And intermingled domes and spires
That CLEAN afar like purple fires.
Above me drops the misty blue
VI sky, where no star glimmers through,
While the calm, Summer sunlight filings
Bloom over all the face Of things:
Thus day in radiant splcndor thr1ves,
When night lies soft on sleeping lives;
And the round earth forever seems
Two worlds like two inimitable dreams.

DR.. Jarvis would pay cash on delivery

the butt of constant ridicule, Of course,
and could hear illusions to owl-heads at
all times and in all quarters. After few
days, the doctor concluded, as a kind OF
quietus, to buy off his merciless fellow
officers, to give them supper, which he
provided for them in magnificent style.
One OF the courses was soup, and a very
good soup. Unable to repress an allu-
