TAKING TOLL

In the door of the mill stood Richard Lee;
White as an image of snow was he,
From his heavy boots to his bearded Tips,
From the crown Of his hat to his finger tips.
Now, slowly jogging along the street,
Drove Farmer Brown with his grist of wheat,
And with him Bessie as fresh as the spring,
And ripe as the fruits the fall months bring.
While the farmer drove about the town,
Young Lee ground the wheat and bolted it
down,
With many glance at the maiden fair,
Who sat by the door in the oaken chair.
And she stood by the whirling, rumbling
stones, g%
And watched the grain as it ebbed so still,
Till the farmer came, but the noise OF the mill
Drowned the sound OF his feet, and over the
hopper, @s-
4 good deal closer than he thought was
proper,
Two heads were bent; and then Richard Lee
Saw him standing there, he ,stammered: "I--
Thog-is," (then ne paused and shuffled his
feet,)
~ think there are weevils in your wheat!'
But the farmer smiled and said "WeN, Bess,
or two evils always choose the less"
And the maiden looked down confused and
meek;
With patch Of -four on one cheek! .r
Still the old man didn't take it i'll,
For he knew yonng Richard owned. the mill
But he 1nused as they slowly rode away:
"Welli Iye been to mill now many q day
Say forty odd years but, bless my soull
That chap beats all OF them taking toll"

How to Treat Nervousness.

First, remove the cause; restore the
tone Of heart, improve the blood. All in
furious habits must be given up; late
hours and intemperance in eating aban-
doned; smoking, if practiced, stopped,
This done, the patient is on the road to a
cure; for nature is very kind when she
has chance, though she is d1eadfully
cruel when abused.
The food is most important. It must
be abundant and wholesome too
much or too little. It should not be
sloppy, and soups had better be avoided
so long as solid food can be taken. Rise
from the table feeling you had enough,
but not oppressed with what you have
eaten. Many a man has lived to old age
by following this rule. The bread should
be stale, and no very heating food taken.
Eight hours sleep should be taken
every night if possible. This alone will
nearly cure. s'Early to bed and early to
rise" should be the motto. Sleep is the
salvation of the nervous system. When
there is strength, a cool bath short. AMI
quickly over, with much friction under
sheet, should be taken every morning,
and a reaction secured. Without a re-
action much harm results.
The exercise should be moderate and
pleasant. Riding, driving, rowing, light
physical labor, are all good. Those who
live in cities and cannot enjoy out-of-
door labor or riding, should adopt sys-
tematic habits of exercise. Some form Of
gymnastics will be very seryiceable. The
lifting cure, if rightly used, has great
value in the cure Of nervousness It
seems to be able to restore the lost equi-
librium of the SYSTEMS and bring the weak
parts Of the body up in strength to par
with the strong parts. The passive ex-
erclses OF the movement cure are also ex-
cellent, and any one may learn from
books how to apply it to himself, if he
viii. Breakfast early; dine at one or
two, and sup two hours before going to
bed; drink no tea. Take no narcotics to
make you sleep. A few raw oysters be-.
fore bedtime are worth all the narcotics
in the world, are easily digested, and
furnish material for restoring nervous
tissue and blood. If you wake up iii the
middle Of the night and cannot 80 to
sleep, eat slowly crust of bread; this
often helps nervous person to 90 to
sleep again. Avoid physic-it exhausts
the tone Of the system, which you ought
to restore. Above ali keep up a good
heart. -Hozbrook's 'sHygsene Of the Brain.

Ready Wit.

Of the late Louis A Cooley, who was q
ready -witted man, Colonel Forney relates
the following:
On one occasion, at an evening enter
tainment at Godey's house, two angry
disputants were facing each other, al
most ready to resort to blows, when Co.
dey picked up u huge carviugknife from
the suppor-table and handed it to the
most violent of the two. The latter un-
consciously received it, at the same time

Far up in the grand and lofty dome,
The master hand of artist had traced
A cartoon, which should never have been de.

The sun that stole through the turrent blinds
Had faded the colors and married the lines;
And dust like vail, gathered thick and fast,
And hid from the present the work OF the past.

And the priests who are wont to come and 20,
Ne'er dream, as they gaze on the wall so high,
OF the rare beauties that hidden lie.
But painter, one day, enwragped in thought,
On the dingy walls an outline caught,
And guessed that under the dust and mold
Lay the work Of some Of the artists old.
And when life had swept the dust away,
And freely let in the light Of day,
The magic brush in his skillful hand
Retouched with life the pictures grand,
And they flooded The chapel with radiance
bright,
Till it seemed almost like a holy light;
And the people delighted, laughed and wept,

So all around in this world Of ours
Are beautiful characters fairer than flowers,

Or hidden away under cold neglect, .
