A GOOD MANS WISH.

I freely confess to you that would
rather, when am laid down In the
grave. some one In his manhood stand
over me and say "There lies one
who was q real friend to me and pri-
vately warned me of the dangers Of
the young. No one knew il, but he
aided me in the time of need. I owe
what 1 am to him." Or 1 would ratl1(
er have some widow, with choking
utterance, telling her children-"There
is your friend and mine. He visited
me in my affliction, and found you.
my son, employment, and you. my
daughter, q happy homo in virtuous
family" I say. would rather that
such person should stand at my grave,
than to have erected over 1t the most
beautiful sculptured monument of
Partisan or Italian marble. The hearts
broken utterance Of reflections of past
aud the tears of gratefal
memory shed upon the grave, are
more valuable, in my estimation than
the most costly cenotaph ever reared.

HUMAN SKIN.-Commonly received
notions about the human skin are be-
ing one by one dispelled. Not only
does 1t turn out that every pore may
be impermeabIy closed without much
injury to health, bu: a pestilent Vien-
nese physician, one DR.. E. Levy, has
proved that the human skin is abso-
lutely impenetrable to the chemical
constituents of mineral waters. The
action of the most opposite kind of
waters must therefore be one aud the
same, and what benefits there are de.
rivable at spas and bathing places
must be from the water imbibed
through the mouth, and through the
pores. This discovery will be very
unpopular at the watering places.

The effects of too much sleep are
not less signal than those arising from
fits privation. The whole nervous sys-
tenn becomes blunted, so that the mus
cular and moral and Intellectual man
iiestatfons are abtuned. All the bad
effects of inaction become developed !;
the functions are exerted with less
energy, the digestion is torpid, the
excretions are diminished, whilst, in
some instances. the secretion of fat
accumulates to an inordinate extent.
The memory is impaired, the powers
of Imagination are dormant, and the
mind falls into q kind of hebetude,
chiefly because the functions Of the
intellect are not sufficiently exerted,
when sleep is too prolonged and too
often repeated. To sleep much is not
necessarily to be good sleeper. Gen.
erally they are the poorest sleepers
who remsin longest in bed ]. g., they
awaken less refreshed than If the time
Of arising were EARLIER by an hour or
two. While it is true that children
and young people require more sleep
than their elders, yet it should be the
care of parents that over-indulgence
be not permitted. Where the habit is
for children to lie in bed until 8 or 9
in the morning, the last two hours at
least, do not bring sound, dreamless
sleep, where the hour of retiring is
or 9 p. M, but are spent in 'dozihg'
and, in fact, such excess cannot fail to
ensure the harmful results described
by the authority quoted. What is
called 1aziness' among children is, in
very many cases, disease, and is large.
" due to this, as well as other causes
mentioned, that undermine the foun.

Many people imagine that ocean
lvater 10 naturally salt, and will be sur
prised to know that the salt comes
from the rocks and is washed into the
sea.
The sea depends on the disintegra-
ton of rocks on land for its saltDess.
1t does not originate in oceans and
seas. Rains wash IL aud hold it in
solution as particles are liberated by
violence, decomposition and gradual
action Of many natural forces. All
streamlets and rivers, therefore, are
constantly transporting salt TO the sea.
If there is more than can be held in
sofution, then it accumulatcs in masses
ut very deep points, which, in the rev.
oluti0n to which matter is subject,
may again be q stratum of salt some
where remote from where the mass
was formed. Thus the salt mines of
Portlond, and the vast horizontal bed
of pure saltin Texas, a. well a. that
m0ontain Of rock salt in Domingo
was collected at the bottom of ancient
seas, which are now dry land remote
from water.
There are places in Africa where
the process Of disintegrstion of salt
from water is regularly going out, but
there is not water power enough 10
force It onward to the sea. Hence the
particles are spread abroad and mix

covered its distribution where there
is no water to dissolve in the ground

holding it in solution, an excellent ar
ticle for domestic purposes is produc-
ed. Salt pervades the earth.

The general belief is that the soil
obtains water from the air at night by
absorption and condensation TO such
an extent asto be of the utmost ag-
ricultural value and that in times OF
drought this moisture of the air invig-
CRATES and sustains plants which 9TH
erwise would perish. The observa-
tions of Prof. Stockbridgs show the
the soil, from May to November, both
at the surface and five inches deep, to
be warmer than air; it is hardly pos
sible that moisture on the surface in
the morning was deposited from the
air. A more reasonable conclusion is
that the vapor which rises from the
surface is condensed as it comes in
contact with the colder air. The
phenomenon of so-called 'dew-falP is
usually attributed to the supposed
fact that soil and plants are colder
than the air at night. and 50 con-
dense it's moisture in the form of
of dew The dew on the ice-pitch-
er il the common illustration to prove
the theory but, as we have seen, the
conditions in this case are the reverse
of those with soil and plant which
are both warmer than the air at night,
while the ice-pitcher is colder. Fur
tber Investigations were made in the
study of this question. A Tin
box, without top or bottom, was
filed with soil and placed in growing
grass; the. next morning the grass
was loaded with dew, but not q trace
appeared on the box, and the temper
ature of the soil was 66 deg, and of
air GO deg. This experiment was re-
peaied many times with the same re-
suits. Then q loose tin cover was
placed on the box; in the morning
the top of the cover was dry, but the
under side was 'thickly studded with
