lNDULGENCES.

God speaks to individuals and nations
with no uncertain voice. History has
painted in vivid colors the fate of all
previous nations who have surrendered
them selves to luxury and efeminacy.
Look at the homes of our ancestors, and
see the contrast which is presented.
Compare the stalwart young men and
healthy, rugged girls of fifty or one
hundred years ago, with the present,
sickly, dyspeptic race now in their plac-
es. The Scottish people still retain
their vigor, and their girls and matrons
frequently walk from twelve to twenty
miles per day. The inhabitants of Swe-
den and Norway are still as healthy as
their progenitors two hundred years ago.
They retain their primitive dress and
habits, and are not weakened by useless
luxuries. Life without health is of
comparatively little value, therefore
anything that tends to impair our good
health should be Stunned. AS people
we study per cents, the profits of for
eign markets, and the careful breeding
of stock. bnt are criminally negligent of
the hygiene. Our winters are extremely
cold and our summers hot, with a ten
dency to malaria diseases. consequently
those who have the charge of families
and clothing an absorbing study. Eu-
ropean nations which have the customs
of their fathers are the most rugged and
healthy people on earth, and they are
destined to be the progenitors of the fu.
ture population of the earth. Disinfect'
ing and refreshing with sunshine and
air are the agencies to preserve health
and happiness.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1879-01-13

"Now you Hamerican gents" said the
Master of Ceremonies at Halifax to a
party of American visitors, 'afore you
are introduced to is Hexelency an 'er
Royal 'Ighness there's a few rules to be
hobserved. Don't expectorate hon the
carpet has you're in the 'abit of doing at
'ome, you know, and don't keep your ats
an, as you Railways do in Hamerica.
And no revolvers nor bowie-nnives is
hallowed to be drawed in the presence of
is Hexelency an 'er Royal 'Ighness,
which is what you're ADDING of in Con-
gress continually. An you'll walk in
forwards, an you won't think of shaking
'ands with 'er Royal 'Ighness nor even
with is Hexcellency; nor hof course
you won't haddress i'm as old 'oss nor

your President, you know. You'll simply
bow an hassume a latitude of rever-
ence, SO far as you know 'ow, an then
retire backwards out of the royal pres
ence.-BoSton IraveUer."

Der was paid"
There is nothing like turning an op-
ponent's illustration so that it will tell
against him rather than for him, to con-
vince him of the weakness of his argu
ment. This is what poor brakeman
did who was injured in the discharge Of
duty at a railroad accident out West
His home was in the East, and the road
which he had served passed him to the
terminus of its line. The next did the
same, and also the next; but at last he
came to superintendent who hesitated
The poor fellow pleaded his case. He
was a railroad man. He had been hurt
at his post. He had been passed by all
the other roads. "All very WE'LL" said
the superintendent "but l can't see my
way clear to give you pass. If yol
were working for farmer, and you were
to get hurt In his employ, would you ex
pect another farmer to get out his team
and take you to the next town ?" No
sir, said the brakeman mot that ex
actly, but if he was hitched up and 60
ing my way, / should think he wa
mighty mean if he wouldn't give me
ride" He got the pass.

that two recent epistles were little
exacting. One lady, who had incurred
a debt of $1,000 without her husband S
knowledge, requested him to pay it for
her, as being a bachelor, he had no fam

Another impecunious female wrote for
$75, but in the postscript added kindly
that she would take $50. A new poem
