Turn of Life"

Between the ages of forty and sixty a
man who has properly regulated himself
may be considered in the prime of life.
His matured strength of constitution rem
ders him almost i'm perviousao the attack
of disease, and experience has given
soundness to his judgment. His mind is
resolute, firm and equal; all his functions
in the highest order; he assumes mastery
ever business; builds up competence on
the foundation he has formed in early
manhood, and passes through period OF
life attended by many qualifications.
Having gone year or two past sixty, he
arrives at a standstill. But athwart this
is visduct called the 'sTurn of Life,''
which if crossed in safety leads to the
valley OF s'old age" round which the
river winds, and then beyond, without a
BOAT or causeway to effect its passage
The bridge is, however, constructed of
fragile materials, and it depends upon
how it is 1rodden, whether it bend or
break Goutappoplexy,are in the road to
wsylsy the traveller, and thrust him from
the pass; but let him grid up his loins
and provide himself with filter staff,
and he may trudge IN safety, with perfect
composure. To quit metaphor, 1.-THE Turn
OF Life is a turn either into prolonged
walk, or into the grave. The system
and powers having reached their utmost
expansion, now begin to either close like
flowers at sunset or break down at once.
One iniudicious stimulant, a single fatal
excitement, may force it beyond its
strength, whilst acareful supply of props
and the withdrawal of all that tends 10

and vigor until night has entirely set in

Diphtheria and It's Causes.

How many times my heart has ached
20 see delicate children with their lower
limbs exposed, not only in cool, but in
damp, chilly weather; nothing to protect
them but thin shoes, suitable only to the
very warmest weather. Should We Won
der that diphtheria carries off SO many
children? The wonder to me is the NOR
tality is not greater. ! consider that this
unsuitable manner Of clothing children
is the promoter of more cases of diphthe-
ria than all other causes combined, es-
pecially in this variable climate. II ap-
pears that parents pay no attention what
ever to the changes in the weather from
June to November; no matter how chilly
or cold the weather may be, the thin
stockings and absurdly-short dresses and
exposed neck and arms are to be met
with upon our streets anywhere. Itseems
to me that the attention ofparents should
be drawn to this great neglect on their part
to properly clothe their children accord
ing to the state Of the weather, no matter
what may be the season Of the year. 1t
would appear difficult to overlook this
subject Of clothing in our search after
causes for diphtheria. What physician
does not know that the blood recedes
from, Or shrinks, as it were, from cold
localities to seek a more congenial lati-
tudc? And where will it 60 to? Why.
it can only find shelter in some of the
organs, and then what is the result!
Congestion of one or more organs, unless
the person happens to be possessed of
sufficient vitality to bring about a re-
action in the circulation. Some people
have this and recover, while. perhaps, in
the meantime, many others, less favored
do suffer and die.

A Tramp Romance.

One of the Cinci7anaz; Commercials

down the piazza Of a farm-hou in War
ren county and listening to the sorrows
of woman whose love had unexpected.

prospecting diamond fields. See used
to live in Wilmington, Del, with her
father and her aunt, and she loved a
young man. Her father found out that
her lover was distantly related to bad
man who had been hanged for killing a
fellow and chopping up the body into
little bits; and he decided that his daugh-
ter mus. not marry a kinsman of so in
famous person. The young man was
turned away from the door and the young
woman nearly lost her reason. The
Delaware home was sold and the family
settled in Ohio, where they have been
living for several years. Last Friday
afternoon tramp-a very dirty tramp
stopped at the farmers house to beg a
meal, and tie farmers daughter went to
to the door. There was an instant
recognition; she fell into the arms IF the
tramp. 1t was her Wilmington lover. It

An Appropriate Hymn.

A student at one of the theological
seminaries in New England had written
with much care a sermon, and passed it
to the professor for criticism. After two
weeks he called on the professor and stat
ed that he left his manuscript with him
and had called for it, and would be glad
of any suggestions from him. 1t was re-
turned without aLy criticism or sugges-
tons. The student, well-pleased with his
own production, was intent on having the
opinion Of his teacher, and called again;
AMI referring to the sermon, asked what
hymns would be appropriate in connec-
ton with it. The professor replied,
"The most appropriate hymn can think
Of is, Now lay me down to Sleep"

The crowded Streets.

WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Let me move slowly through the street,
FILLED with an ever shifting train,
Amid the sounds Of steps that beat
The murmuring walks like autumn rain.
How fast the fitting figures come!
The mild, the fierce, the stony face
Some bright with thoughtless smiles, ant
some
Where secret tears have left their trace.
they pass to toll, to strife, to rest
10 balls IN which the feast is spread
10 chambers where the funeral guest
In silence sits beside the bed.
ana some to happy homes repair,
Where children pressing cheek to cheek,
With mute caresses shall declare
The tenderness they cannot speak,
And some who walk in calmness here,
Shall shudder as they reach the d cor
Where one who made their dwelling dear,
Its flower its light, is seen no more.
Youth, with pale cheek and tender frame,
And dreams OF greatness in thine eye,
Cost thou to build an early name,
Or early in the task to die?
Keen son of trade, with eager brow,
Who is now lutterine in thy snare,
Thy golden fortunes, tower they now,
Or melt the glittering spires in air!
Who of this crowd to night shall tread
The dance till daylight CLEANS agains
Who sorrow DER the untimely dead?
Who writhe in throes of mortal pain9
Some, famine struck, SHAH think how long
The cold, dark hour, how slow the light;
And some who flaunt amid the throng,
Shall hide in dens of shame tonight.
Each where his task or pleasure call,
They pass and heed each other not;
There is one who heeds, who holds them al
In His large love and boundless thought.
These struggling tides of life, that seem
In hayward aimless course to tend,
Are eddes of the NIL hty stream
That rolls to its appointed end.

At Sea.
BY J. T. TROWBRIDG

BY j. Il. TROWBR1DGE.
The night is made for cooling shade,
For silence and for sleep;
And when | was child, laid
My hands upon my heart and prayed,
And sank to sumbers deep;
Childlike as then, lie tonight,
And watch my lonely cabin light.
Each movement of the swaying lamp
Shows how the the vessel reels;
AS DER her deck the pillows tramp,
And al her tirnbers strain and cramp,
With every shock she feels,
1t starts and shudders, while it burns,
And in its hinged socket turns.
Now swinging slow, and slanting low,
1t almost level lies;
And yet | know, while to and fro
I watch the seeming pendule 90,
With restless fall and rise,
The steady shaft is still upright,
Posing its little globe Of light.
o hand Of God! O lamp of peace!
0 promise OF my soul!
Though weak and tossed, and ill at ease,
Amid the roar Of shifting seas,
The ships convulsive roll,
I own, with love and tender awe,
Yon pefect type of faith and law!
A heavy trust my spirit Gains,
My soul is filed with light:
The ocean sings his solemn pslams,
The wild winds chant I cross my palms,
Happy rs if, to night,
Under the cottage roof, again,
heard the soothing summer rain.

fields Of South Africa, and returning
found himself without friends, money or
home. So he joined the band whose name
IS legion, and had been doing Ohio.
Some Providence had led him to that
house. Long those two happy couple
f?rgeting everything in their happiness
but that they looked into each others
eyes sat and talked. After time the
old man came in. He recognized the
relative OF the man VIE had chopped up
a neighbor and had been hanged for it.
He fell upon the tramp and nearly killed
him. He ran for doctor, leaving the
daughter to nurse the tramp, and then,
overcome with excitement, went crazy.

Throwing the Shoe.

One OF the best-knoWn customs con-
nected with shoes is that of throwing
them after wedding party on their way
from church or elsewhere. 1t is, saw the
authors of Lancashire Folk lore, a relic
of Anglo-Saxon or Danish usages, along
with many other wedding usages of
ancient origin. The Ian cashire custom
is to throw an old shoe on leaving the
house to be married, as preventive of
future unhappiness, and an omen of good
luck and prosperity. In Norfolk it is
also the custom to throw the shoe after
the wedding party on proceeding to the
church. In Yorkshire, according to a
writer in Homes Table Book, in 1927,
was custom called "trashing," which
slgnified pelting people with old shoes
on their return from church on the we'd
ding-aay. "Trashins" has at first some
rGison d'etre, but as time went on this be-
came forgotten, and the custom was in
discriminatory practiced among the low
er orders. The Kentish custom is for
one OF the groomsmen to throw the shoe,
after which the bridesmaids run. she VINO
gets it believing that she will be married
first. She in turn throws it among the
men, the man who receives the blow be
ing also destined for marriage before the
Others. A custom not very dissimiar
used to prevail among the noble Ger
mans In the past. The bride on being
conducted to the bride-chamber used to
take Oft her shoe, and throw it among
those who were near, every one striving
to catch It, and the successful one accept
ing it as an omen of his or her early and
happy marriage. There is an old rhyme
still extant which gives an early date 10
this custom OF throwing shoes at we'd
dings:

This custom has Of late been generally
revived, and is now as popular at fashion
able London weddings as among our more
superstitious country folks. A writer in
an old number OF Notes and Queries sug-
gests that it was a synbol Of renuncia-
ton Of dominion and authority over the
bride by her father or guardian; and the
receipt of the shoe by the bridegroom,
even if accidental, an omen that that
authority was transferred to h1m.-Azl
