The Afghans.

The Afghans are tall, OF large and
well-knit frames, muscular and hardy.
Their strong, heavy features and dark
skins give them fierce oppression of
countenance their black eyes" their
lids tinged with antimony to add force,
beauty, and dazzling brilliancy to
them ARE full of fire, so that their
swift, bold, and flaming glance is very
impressive. They wear their hair shay
ed from the forehead to the top of the
head, the rest falling 10 thick black
masses to the shoulders. The dress Of
the people is of cotton, or of cloth called
borek, made of camel's hair, and is worn
in two long and very full robes, the ma.
terial used by the wealthy classes being
of silk or cashmere blue OF white tur-
bans and slippers complete the costume,
The garments of the young chiefs are
often quite gay with gold lace or gold
thread embroidery. This ornamentatior
is done by the women in the harems
who are very skillful with the needle.
Comte de Gobineau in his Romancet
of the East" thus describes young
Afghan chief, whose name was Moshen
meaning beautiful: ellis complexion
was richly tawny, like the skin of frui
ripened by the sun. His black lock-
curle9 in wealth of ringlets round tn,
compact folds of his blue turban STRIPED
with red; sweeping and rather lont
silken mustache caressed the delicate
outline of his upper lip, which wa
cleanly cut, mobile, proud, and breath
ing of passion. His eyes, tender ant
deep, flashed readily. He was tall
strong, slender, broad-shouldered, ant
straightforward. No one would eve
dream of asking his race ; it was eviden
that the purest Afghan blood flowed il
his veins"
The beauty of young Afghans is FIRE
quently spoken of by Eastern writers
but it would seem from the very natur
of things as though this glowing de
scription must be overdrawn iustas tn
handsome, pensive young Uncas @
our well-beloved Indian romancel
James Fenimore Cooper, can hardly b
recognized in the modern Modoc. Still
abundant testimony claims dark an
hardy beauty for the Afghan in hi
prime. e.-Harper's Magazine.

Keep the Dwellings Dry.

A warm and dry atmosphere is not
unwholesome, but when cloudy or rainy
weather brings sultry air which damp
ems everything around us, the atmo-
sphere may be loaded with the germs of
disease, and fire is needed to destroy
them. The walls, the ceiling and the
floors of apartments should never be al
lowed to become damp. Sometimes,
when the warmth of the air is oppres-
sive, fire is more necessary to preserve
health than it is at another season to
protect us from the cold of winter; and
the rooms of dwelling should never be
left without the means of warming and
drying. Investigations have shown that
many of the most fatal diseases are
caused by the germs of vegetable and
animal life, and that humid atmosphere
is most favorable for their propagation.
1t is, therefore, neglecting to avail our
selves of the great discoveries of the
age, and failing to protect ourselves
from scourges which SO fearfully sffiict
families, when we ignore the dangers
which surround us. Apartments exposed
to the full action of the sun may be less
comfortable in hot weather than those
from which the suns rays are excluded
but they are more wholesome, and wher
contagious diseases prevail in closely
built cities it is found that the inmates
of houses on that side of the street OK
posed to the sun are less liable to b,
attacked, while the greatest number o
sick are always found where there i
the least exposure to the rays Of tn

The lungs of the human body are
more subject to disease than any other
vital organ. Coming directly in contact
every momel with the poisons floating
in the atmosphere, it is not at all Won
derful that the delicate tissues should
more often than any other organ be the
seat of disease. 1t is source of graft
ication that modern science and inves-
tigation have proved that the greatest
number of lung diseases are curable.
In years past nothing has been more
common than to hear medical men say:
"Oh, he has disease of the lungs; can
do nothing" P0st.naorteno examina-
tions upon large scale have developed
the fact that pulmonary phthisis is COM
mon in many cases where it is classed as
something else. Numerous cases are re-
corded where the +, ~snt has died OF
other disease, and the lungs have re-
vealed the old cicatrix perfectly healed
and the surrounding tissues restored to
health.
Instances are known where even an
entire lobe of the lung has been render
ed useless, and the balance of the organ
continued to do double work, and this
with small inconvenience. In series
of examinations made at the hospital OF
Edinburgh, it was found that the lungs
of at least one-third of those who died
over forty years of age showed signs OF
former, disease. A series of experiments
at the hospital at Paris, of persons dying
over sixty years of age, developed the
same facts. That consumption is hered-
itary, no medical man doubts; that, by
judicial treatment and obeying wise
laws it can be cured, hardly admits of
question. People who have lung
trouble should not get in the habit OF
believing themselves doomed in conse-
quence of it. Such impression often
goes far toward retarding the work Of
cure. Outdoor exercise, pure air,
wholesome food, dry and warm clothing,
ample protection to the chest and to the
feet, and the weak-lunged people have
lived, and will often live, to the allotted
years of mans life. .-CMcGgo Inter-

The Village.


On high hill the buildings stand;
Roofs, here and there, the sides invade;
Domed naples stretch At either hand,
Sleeping the walks in pleasant shade.
Iwo-storied, white, in yards Of green,
The modest wood-frAmed dwellings rise;
Here, shrubbery with its partial screen;
There, trees through which each fabric prizes.
Yon long, piazzed, brosd-benched front
The well-known lower tavern shows;
Where gossip-groups are nightly wont
In crescent-shspe around to close.
Next stands the neat, red cornerstone,
Dangling with shapes Of tin and brass,
With glistcning delf and hardware DER;
Cloths on the shelves and rows Of glass.
Next, lifts the tinman's glittering shop,
One keen, shrill, ianghng, jumbled din
Lasting till evenings shadows drop,
For morn again to usher in.
Near, the shoemakers crouching shed;
Elbows are squared there, soles are beat;
Avis pierce and glides the wsxen thread:
While leathern scentsithe comers greet.
The limb-coiled tailor works beside;
The needle darts in busy use;
Garments hang around in new-made pride;
Glitters the shears and sulks the goose.
Next, stands the builders dingy hut;
Shavings lie deep; the plane shears true;
Reign jar Of saw and adz's cut,
With split Of board and creak of screw.
The lame old saddler, perched on high,
The curved, tapped seats of leather shapes
His hands on rein and bride ply;
His walls, the bright black harness drapes,
The letter-post where crowds attend,
When the red coach the mailbag brings,
Stands at the broad streets graceful bend,
Where the up-tavern's sgnboard swings.
The smithy next what roaring fires
What ringing blows! what strength Of limb
What!rows of horse-shoes, wagon-tires
What sweep of sledge, what figures grim
And on its knoll the village church,
With spire and bell and sloping roof
The parsonage requiring search
So far amid the leaves aloof.
Broad fields of grass and grain extend
At either hand, whence rural sounds;
Crow low and bleat and below, blend
With those amid the village-bounds
Oh, many stately street I've seen!
And many front of sculptured art
Yet memory keeps this village green
Within the landscape of my heart

How to Get Married Cheaply.

Yesterday forenoon, while Detroit
justice of the peace sat warming his
feet by the stove, and his nose by
cigar, stranger entered and presently
inquir ed:
"Judge, how much will you charge
me to read over about fifteen lines OF
printed matter from book I bave2"
"Why, can't you read them ?" replied
his honor.
81 can, but l want to hear how the
lines sound when read aloud. I'll give
you quarter to read them to me-"
GAN right" replied the justice; 81
can't earn two shillings any quicker"
A woman opened the door at that
moment, and the stranger put down the
book on the desk, clasped her hand, and
said:
"Begin at the pencil-mark there, and
read slowly"
His honor's chin dropped exactly
eighteen inches by dry measure as he
saw that the reading matter was the
usual form Of marriage, but he didn't
back down from hiazKQSa. II was the
alaas II d is8 ever attended,, !, and
he iidn't hall enjoy the caaeklea Of
bride and groom as they went out.--

A QUIET HOUSE.

"DGar mel sighed Mr.. Turmoyle,
as burst of shrill, childish laughter
sounded from the nursery down the hall
stairs and into the sitting room where
he was making out some accounts. 81

Amt it most bedtime, TillieP"
"They are probably undressing, "
Mrs. Turmoyle replied, quietly. "I'll
go and see if they are ready for bed."
"Do keep them quiet until they are. J"
There was an interval of profound
silence, and in about half an hour the
mother returned.
"They are asleep now," she said.
"Tom had dressed the kitten in Bessie's
dolls Clothes"
The accounts finished, Mr.. Turmoyle
leaned back i'll his chair.

with those children, Tillie," he said, "I

evening, ard you would not have known

"Perhaps they were all abed."

form was brawny and powerful, his arms
and legs being wonderfully hard and
finely developed. He spoke English
slowly and with much caution, as if it
would offend his pride TO make a gram
matical or idiomatic error. He related
his journey some years before to Bour-
bon island, south of Mauritius and east
of Madagascar, when he visited, iroOg-
nitO, friend, French merchant named
Adolph LIE Roy, who was also consular
agent for Italy. Through him he pro-
cured many articles Of European manu-
facture for his palaces. He expressed
himself eager to converse in French;
that he understood better than English.
"When his mobiles entered the royal
tent at the call Of a peculiar drum, they
knelt on one knee, with bowed head and
uplifted arms. In recognition of this
the king raised his face upward, and up
lifted one arm. His action was in ado
ration of the sun-theirs in homage to
their chief. Then highly-seasoned un-
cooked meat, hard sweet crackers, and
wayumba we're served. This modest
lunch was speedily disposed of, and the
mobiles summarily dismissed. Then an
official conversation ensued between
Cetywayo and Tsifani's nephew. 1t was
brief, and ended bluntly, whatever was
the nature of it. Then the chief drew
aside the rich curtain which divided the
tent into compartments, and, pointing
to a massive casket of gold, invited
Tsifani's nephew, Yatsinif, to remove a
little slab at one end of it. He did so,
and the immense vessel of gold was
found to be filled with every variety Of
precious stones. He was then, with a
princely wave OF the arm, requested to
help himself But, with chivalrous
self-denial, Yatsinif did not avail him
self to any great extent of the opportu-
nifty afforded him. Raising little pur-
pie pebble from the dazzling mass, lie
showed it to Cetywayo, bowed, and
dropped the purple gem into his
bosom. Whatever errand Tsifani's
nephew went on. was evidently unsuc
cessful; but Cetywayo's display of his
jewelry and his offer to Yatsinif were
suggestions of his power, wealth, liber-
ality and friendship - characteristics
with which he desired the young mans
uncle to invest him.
cat that time, in 1870" the gentle
man concluded, "Cetywayo was pow.
erful and popular chief, and it is per.
fectly true that his army is well-drilled
and well-supplied with the munitions ol
modern warfare"
