The Ideal.

Il the one that's never sung;
That lies at the heart ef singer
Too grand for mortal tongue.
And sometimes in the silence
Between the day and night,
He fsncies that its measures
Bid farewell TO the light.
A picture that is fairer
Than all that have q part
Among the masterpieces
In the marble halls OF art,
L. the enc that haunts the painter
In all his golden dreams
And to the painter only.
A real picture seems.
The. noblest. grandest poem
Lies not in blue and gold
Among the treasured volumes
That rosewood bookshelves hold;
But in bright, glowing visions,
II comes to the poets brain,
And when he tries to grasp it
ne upds his effort vain.
Afairy hand from dreamland
Beckons us here and there,
And when we strive to clasp il,
1t vanishes int air.
And thus our fair ideal
Floats away just before,
And We with longing spirits
Reach for it evermore.

The Question of Food.

Fish as food, for all classes, weight
for weight, has very nearly as much
solid nutriment as butchers meat,
game or poultry; which. containing q
substance called iodine, which is not
found in land animals, it has tendency
to correct a scrofulous and consumptive
habit. Fishermen, who naturally live
largely on fish, are especially strong,
healthy and prolific. In no class are
there found larger families, handsomcr
women, and greater exemptions from
human maladies. To what extent
these results follow fish diet is yet q
matter OF conjecture. But iodine is the
universal remedy up to this time for
scrofulus diseases. Meats contain the
most nitrogen; the heterogeneous por.
tions of our food make flesh, and 20 to
supply the wear and tear, and wastes
of the body; these are ultimately
passed from the system in urine. If
more heterogeneous food is eaten than is
needed to supply these wastes, nature
converts it more rapidly into living
tissues, which are, with corresponding
rapidly, broken down and converted
into urine. This is when the food is
digested; but when 30 much is
eaten that it cannot be digested, nature
takes alarm, as it were. and endeavors
to remedy the trouble in one of three
ways. The stomach rebels and casts it
off in disgust by vomiting; it is worked
out of the system by an attack of diar.
rh9a, or the human beast is made 80
uncomfortable generally that he can't
be still; if he goes to bed, he losses
aud tumbles half the night; if he don t
go to bed, he is taken with the tidgets
and can't be easy in one position for
half minute at time, so that in one
way and another, he is compelled to do
an amount of muscular effort neccs.
sary to work off the surplus; and as a
further punishment, his appetite is
more or less destroyed for several meals
afterward. Little or no nitrogen is
poured off with the perspiration, breath
