Simplicity in Living.

To live simply, and to master and con
troll our expenditures, is sore need these
hard times. The influences which sur
round US, the habits which we fall into
as second nature, all sway us in dan
gerous direction. Every family and every
class seem to have caught hold of the
skirts of the one above it, and to be des-
perately holding on to them. The best
thing they can do is to let go-the only
thing ineed which will give themselves
comfort, or make their lives useful and
happy. AS soon as they commence to
live regardless, perhaps double their in
come, they will find that they have means
of living happily.
This most needed refom is the one
which it is incumbent upon many Of us to
carry out the coming year. We cannot
sweep the whole street, but each one can
sweep the mud from his own doorstep.
If it is done regularly and quietly, others
will soon follow the good example, and
in this way many will be relieved of
heavy burdens and cares. Simple living!
To it even the great household question
of servants will yield, because we shall
not be SO sorely subjected to their ex-
actions, when we are not so dependent
upon their labors, but have found that we
possess hands and feet that can minister
to our needs.-Daisy Eyebrtght, in
C0tl,,t7.u Gentleman.

Too Much Sleep.
From the Golden Rule.

From the Golden Rule.
The effects Of too muci, sleep are not
less signal than those arising from its
privation. The whole nervous system
becomes blunted, 50 that the muscular
energy is enfeebled, and the sensations,
and moral and intellectual manifestations
are abtuned. All the bad effects of mac
ton 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 a 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. Generally they are the poorest
sleepers who remain longest in bed; i. e.,
they awaken less refreshed than if the
time of arising were earlier by an hour or
two While 1t 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 per-
mitted. Where the habit is for children
to lie in bed until or 9 in the morning,
the last two hours at least, do not bring
sound, dreamless sleep, where the hour
of retiring is s or r. NJ, but are spent
in "dozing" and, in fact, such excess can
not fail to ensure the harmful results de-
scribed by the authority quoted. What
is called "laziness" among children is, in
very many cases, disease, and, is largely
toned, that undermine the foundations of
health.

Gaslight and the Eyes.

An official report made to the Prussian
government by medical experts, on the
effect of gaslight in living, states some
facts of interest in that connection. Ac-
cording to the previous experiences of
occulists, no injurious effect of gaslight
upon the eyes of pupils has been observ-
ed, when it has been used properly, aud
especially where arrangements are pres
ent to protect the eyes from the direct in
fuence of the bright fame. In general,
says the report, shades and globes serve
for this purpose; the dark, totally
opaque, tin shades, are, however, very in
furious, and all complaints against the
use of gaslight are referable almost uni
versally to these improper contrivances-
for with these the eye stays in total dark
ness, but looks upon brightly illumina-
ted surface, so that a dazzling and over
irritation or super-excitement OF the eye
result, with all their attendant injurious
results. Globes Of milk glass are, how
ever, very suitable, as they diffuse the
light, and are safe for the eyes.

THE SHADOW KISS.

"Oh, I'd give the world for just one kiss
more than half pleadingly sigh
Then she roguishly metes me my answer:
And tell you, sir, once and for all,
You shall never kiss me till the wedding day.
Though you'd give twenty worlds, Mr. Saul!'
Twas my fiftieth time to beseech it,
And her fiftieth time to decline,
And try as would could coax nor steal
No kiss from this madame of NINE
So we sit in the cozy, bright parlor,
And she gossips of Lent and of ball.
While the light on the table behind us throws
Our shadows before on the wall
"Now, surely" once again ply her,
You could have no objection to this;
Look there on the wall two shadows there be-
Let my shadow your shadow kiss"
Very WELL" and we watch the performance
VI the protiles approaching eclipse;
IN q second lis dOne----Our shadows have met
Our shadows and likewise our lips.

endeavored to inform him of his loss bv
crying and bowling lamentably. The
merchant could not conceive what had
happened to the dog, and so continued his
course; but when the poor animal de-
spairing of attracting his attention. beoan
to bite the horses heels in order to frv
and stop it, he grew alarmed. and sun
posing he had gone mad, in CROSSING a
brook he looked to see if the dog would
drink. The faithful creature was, how
ever, too intent on his masters bust
ness; he bit and barked more than ever.
The merchant was Mortified He was sure
that the dog was mad. Much as he loved
and valued the creature, yet he could not
allow him to live in those Circumstances; SO
ne drew distol from his breast and fired
at the faithful servant. His aim was toe
sure; the poor dog fell wounded, and the
merchant spurred on his horse with a
heart full OF sorrow. Still, he never
thought OF the money; he only tried to
console himself by repairing: sThe dog
was mad But I had rather lost nv
money than my dog, all the same,' he
said to himself, and stretched out his hand
to gasp-his treasure. It was gone.
In that instant bis eyes opened, and
he knew that he had sacrificed his sagac-
| ious friend to his rashness and folly. In
stantly he turned his horse, and at full
gallop made his way to the place where
he had lunched. He passed with half
averted eyes the scene where the tragedy
was acted, and perceived the traces of
blood as he proceeded He was oppres-
sed, distracted. But in vain he looked

| At last he arrived at the spot where he had
left his bag of money, and cursed himself
in the madness of despair. The poor dog,
! unable to follow his dear but cruel mas
ter, had determined tie consecrate his
last moments to his service All bloody
as he was, he had crawled to the forgotten
bag, and lay there watching beside it
slowly dying. When he saw his master.
he tried to rise; but his strength was Como
he could only wag his tail in token of
gratifed recognition. The vital tide was
ebbing, and the caresses of his master
could not prolong his fate for even a few
minutes. He tried to lick the hand that
was now foudling him in the agonies of
regret, as if to seal forgiveness for the
deed that had deprived him of life He
then cast look of kindness on his be-
loved master, and closed his eyes on him
forever
We cannot conclude this anectode of a
noble dog without quoting these beauti
full lines from the Cleaner:
Of all the boosted conquests man has made
By food or field, the gcntle5t and the best
Is in the dog, the generous dog, displayed;
For, ali! what virtues glow within his breast!
Through life the same, through sunshine and
in storm;
At once his lords protector and his guide;
Shapes to his wishes, to bis wants conform:

sions given, and the time of starting fixed

"And now comes the strange part Of
my story. Whether the servants were up
in good time or not, the fire was always
lighted, the kettle boiling, and the break
fast ready at the appointed time! The
clothes which came from the wash were
found carefully sorted out and apportion-
ed to their respective owners-nonc could
tell by whom. If fire was required in
the nursery, it was kept up by invisible
hands. Nurse was a heavy sleeper; but
no matter-her deficiencies were supplied
by the obliging and indefatigable ghost.
Nurse used to find as bright fire in the
morning as she had left at night, the
turf basket replenished, and all as neat
and orderly as hand could make it. To
get out the breakfast things, my grand
mothers keys must have been taken from
her room, but by whom no one could tell.
"'Leave the key-basket in my room,
said visitor, the night before he left. Il
am light sleeper, and it the ghost comes
to get my breakfast, shall know it,
Coward daybreak he heard the keys
tinkle, and instantly threw dagger,
which he had hidden under his pillow, to
the spot whence the sound proceeded. In
the morning the dagger was found stuck
into the door, but no clew to the mystcr-
ious visitor could be found
eat last my grandmother determined
that the mystery should be solved, what
ever it might be, and she prepared to sit
up in her room all nj light, listening for the
faintest sound. For a long time all was
still; and my grandmother was begin
ming to fear that her long watch through
the winters night was only wasting hel
strength in vain, when at last, somewhere
in the small hours, she heard slight
thud upon the stairs. Instantly Selling hel
candle, she rushed out in time to see a
slender figure in white carrying a basket
OF turf on its arm. The fall Of a sod from
tuel-basket was the sound she had heard
My grandmother was brave woman, and
swiftly as the white figure fitted on
swiftly did she follow after, up stair-cases
and along passages, till, just as it reach
ed the nursery door, she overlook it, and
discovered her niece walking in her sleep
"It seems the poor girl was SO anxious
about the household arrangements thai
she used to rise in her sleep to accomplish
all that she knew ought to be done
How her zeal nearly cost her life, through
the foolish rashness Of a young visitor,

again permitted to sleep alone NJ,
grandmother took her to her own bed
and clasped in her loving arms, the poo,

THE RIVER OF LIFE.

The more we live, more brief appear
Our lifes succeeding stages
A day TO childhood seems year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone current of our youth
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along It's grassy borders.
But as the carcworn cheek grows wan,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
When Joys have lost their bloom and breath,
And life itself is vapid.
Why, as we near the fall Of Death,
Feel We its tide more rapid:
1t may be strange, yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding,
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?
Heaven gives us years of fadn" strength
IndemIifying hcetnc>s:
And those OF youth, Il seeming strength
Proportioncd to their length.

Let nothing make thee sad or frctful,
Or too regretful;
Be still
What God hath ordered must be right,
Then find in it thine own delight,
My will.
Why sho,llds't thou fill to-day with sorrow
About tomorrow,
My heart?
One watches all with care most true,
Doubt not that He will give thee. too,
Thy part.
Only be steadfast never wavcr,
Nor seek earth's favor;
But rest;
Thou knowest, what God wills must be
For all his creatures---so for thee
