A Queer Robbery.

The Erangelist tells the story of q
man who, returning home rather late
at night while it was showing, felt
for his watch to see the time, but it
was gone. II flashed over him in an
Instant that only three minutes before
q man had passed him who rubbed
against him. 1t was but the work Of
a moment to give chase, and lifting
his umbrella he demanded his watch
or vengeance. The watch was hand
ed over by the terrified traveller, and
the good citizen went home in . very
complacentmood, congratulating him
self on his good luck and courage.
A, the breakfast table the next morn.
ing his wife read the story of the
robbing Of o man, only q few streets
away, of valuable gold wa:ch and
chain. 1t was q most daring affair,
the robber lifting an enormous club
and threatening all sorts of things.
THAT is singular" said the hus-
band, "for was robbed of my watch
near that place, and ran after the vii.
lain and recovered it."
Are you sure, dear ~
"Yes!n

Rapidity of Time.

Swiftly glide our years They fol-
low each other like the waves Of the
ocean. Memory calls up the persons
we once knew-the scenes in which
we once were actors. They appear
before the mind like the phantoms Of
q night vision. Behold, the boy, re-
joicing in the gayety Of bis soull The
wheels of Time cannot move too rap
idly for him. The light Of hope dances
in bis eyes; the smile of expectation
plays upon his lips. He looks forward
to long years of Joy to cone; his
spirit burns within him when he
hears of great men and mighty deeds;
he wants to be man; be longs TO
mount the bill of ambition, to tread
the path Of honor to hear the shout
of applause. Look at him again
He is now in the meridian of life;
care has stamped its wrinkles upon
his brow; disappointment has dim
med the lustre Of his eye; sorrow he's
thrown its gloom upon his counte-
nance. He looks back upon the wax
ing dreams of his youth, and sighs
for their futility. Each revolving
year seems to diminish something
from his stock Of happiness, and dis
covers that the seasons of youth,
when the pulse of anticipation beats
high, is the only season OF enjoyment.
Who is he Of aged loeks2 His form
is bent, and totters; his footsteps
move more rapidly towards the tomb.
He looks back upon the past; his
days appear to have been few ,; the
magnifcence Of the great is to him
vanity; the hilarity of youth, folly;
be considers how soon the gloom Of
death must overshadow the one and
disappoint the other. The world
presents little to attract and nothing
to delight him. A few years Of in
trinity, insnity aid pain must con-
sigh him to idiocy or the grave.
Yet this was the gay, the generous,
the high souled boy who beheld the
ascending path Of life strewn with
flowers without g thorn. Such is
human life but such cannot be the
ultimate destiuies of man.

A writer in the Sunday Afiernoon
discussing the increase Of intemper-
ance, and seeking about for . plausi-
ble theory to account for it, says:
As long as the American people
consume such quantities Of stimulat-
ing and highly-seasoued food ss they
do, they will want to imbibe stimu-
lating drinks. Stimulating TODD and
stimulating drinks necessarily go to-
gether. The one is the concomitant
on the other. Many man who sea
sons his dinner literally with the con-
tents of the castor excites in his sys-
tenn thirst for something stronger
than cold water. Not that cold wa
ter would not be the best thing with
which to extinguish the fire he has
kindIed within the vital domain by
the use of such hot, stimulating con-
diments, but that is too insipid- Hav-
ing partaken of such highly seasoned
food be Graves drink equally stimu-
Iating.
Inebriases the world over are great
consumers of flesh meat, and they
also make excessive use OF condl-
ments- Our attention was first d.
rected to this fact in visiting at ine-
briate asylums and sauitariums for
the cure of the incorporate, where
were congregated large numbers Of
them; and eating at tie same table
with them for days, and in one case
for several weeks, this feature was 50
striking and SO universal that il fore
ed itself upon our attention. And
no one, we think, in the same circum-
stances, could fail to notice it. We
have always observed that the in
mates of these institutions were, most
of them. hearty eaters, especially OF
apimal food. Beef, too, was prefer
red to mutton and other kinds, as be-
ing the most stimulating kind of ami
NAL food. And this was usually sea-
soned literally with mustard. Pep
per was used abundantly with almost
everything else.
At the New York State inebriate
asylum when DR.. Day was superin-
tendent, he felt compelled to Danish
Worcestershire sauce wholly from
he table, owing to the extravagant
use that was made Of it. And dur
ing the incumbency of DIR. Dodge,
bis successor, the cayenne was re-
moved from the castor for the same
reason.

A new use of the rod--one which
Solomon never dreamed offs said
to be common in Austria. Some old
fashioned people complain that the
rod has fallen into neglect, and that
the reiDs Of authority have passed
from the parents to the children.
For such grumblers Austria is a good
place to emigrate to, for whipping is
the regime even for whooping
cough.
Physicians pronounced this uncom-
Portable disease to be chiefly Of nery-
Gus origin and under the control Of
the will. They maintain, therefore,
that punishment is the best medicine,
for good whipping rouses the child
to q vigorous exercise Of viii which
suppresses the cough.
1t is certainly . curious theory, but
held with tenscity by the Austrian
physicians They may be popular
among children in their own country,
but they would be in danger of falling
victims to mob law here. Children
claim pity and petting when passing
through this disease, and the thought
of . whipping instead would lead to
revolts in the nursery. The Austrian
remedy may be scientific, butit Is not
likely to gain favor on this side Of the
water Youths Companion.

The sight in most persons begins
to fail from forty to fifty years Of age,
as is evidenced by an instructive pre-
ference for large print. Says the Sci
entifc american
Favor the failing sight as much as
possible Looking into bright FIRE,
especially coal fire, is very Injurious
to the eyes, as they are obliged to
make great exertion. Reading or
sewing by side light Injuries the
eyes, as both should be exposed to
an equal degree of light The reason
is, the sympathy between the eyes is
so great that if the pupil of one is d.
lated by being kept partially in the
shade, the one that is most exposed
cannot contract itself sufficiently for
protection, and will ultimately be in
jured. Those who wish to preserve
their sight should observe the follow
ing rules, and preserve their general
health by correct habit:
l. By sitting in such position as
will allow the light to fall obliquely
over the shoulder upon the page or
sewing.
2. BY not using the eyes for such
purposes by any artificial light.
8. By avoiding the special use Of
the eyes in the morning before break
fast.
4. By resting them for half min
ute or so while reading or sewing
or looking at small objects; by look
ing at things at a distance, or up to
the SKY, relief isammediately felt.
5. Never pick any collected matter
from the eyelashes or corners of the
eyes with the finger nails; rather
moisten it with the saliva and rub it
away with the ball of the finger.
6. Frequently pass the ball of the
finger over the closed eyelids towards
the nose this carries off On excess OF
water into the noee itself by means of
tAe little canal which leads into the
nostrils from each inner corner of the
eyes, this canal having tendency to
close up in consequence of the slight
inflammation which attends weakness
of the eyes.
I. Keep the feet always dry and
warm, 80 as to draw any excess of
blood from the other end Of the body.
s. Use eyeglasses at first carried in
the vest pocket attached to guard,
for they are instantly adjusted to the
eye with very little trouble, whereas,
if common spectacles are used such q
process is required to get them ready
that to save trouble the eyes are often
strained to answer purpose.
g. Wash the eyes abuudantly every
morning. If cold water s used let Il
be tapped against the closed eyes
with the fingers, not striking hard
against ibe balls of the ewes.
10. The moment the eys feel tired,
the very moment you are conscious
of an effort to read or sew, lay aside
the book or needle, and take q walk
of an hour, or employ yourself in some
active exercise not requiring the close
use of the eyes"

Condition of the English Peasant.

The London correspondent Of the
Tribune, in speaking of the condition of
the English peasant, says of him: 9" He
and his progeny do not exist. Poets
have sung and moralists sentimentally
descanted upon the British peasant but
strip him of his romance, and look at
him truthfully and soberly, and he
presents melancholy spectacle. He is
merely beast of burden; his condition
is little better than that of a serf, if
indeed it is as good. He grovels in
poverty and wretchedness-ofte with
an insuficiency of food. And scarcely
is he able to dream of any more elevated
state of existence, for the social forces
by which he is beset almost entirely pre-
clude him from breaking through the
bonds which hold him. He is drudge;
his life is life of drudgery; and, from
his cradle to his grave, it would be diff
cult to see where his existence could be
illumined by array of prosperity or hope.
At the lowest rung of the ladder of
labor, he is forced to remain in his thral-
dom, both Intellectual and social, which
the custom of ages has imposed upon his
class.
