GOODBYE, SWEET DAY.

Good bye, sweet cay, good-bye!
Ihave so loved thee, but cannot hold thee.
Departing like dream. the shadows fold
thee;
Slowly thy perfect beauty fades away;
Goodbye, sweet day!
Goodbye, sweet day, good-bye! :.
Dear were thy golden hours OF tranquil
splendor,
Sadly thou yieldest to the evening tender,
Who vert SO fair from thy first morning ray
Goodbye, sweet day!
Goodbye, sweet day, good-bye!
Thy glow and CHARM thy smiles and tones
and chances
Vanish at last, and solemn night advances
All, couldst thou yet little longer stay!
Goodbye, sweet day!
Goodbye, sweet day, good-bye!
All thy rich gifts my grateful heart RENE M.

The while watch thy sunsets dying en-

Die in the west beneath the twilight gray
Goodbye, sweet day!

General Considerations for Consump.
tiVeS.

conclude this brief survey of winter
quarters. In search for winter health
resort, what do we desire to avoid and
what do we desire to find? There are
three things which we desire to avoid,
especially when they are found COM
bined together, as in our winter climate,
and these three things are damp, cold
and variability. 1t is the combination
OF these three conditions which makes
the climate of England SO unsuitable
and even dangerous to many persons.
1t gives rise to the distressing catarrh
conditions which are so common, and
which often lead to graver disturb Dances
OF health. It is the cause of attacks of
acute and chronic rheumatism, of many
forms OF neuralgia, and not infrequent-
~ it is responsible for serious inflam-
nation of internal organs. This COM
bination of climatic conditions, neces-
sarily associated with clouded and
sunless sky, produces q further de-
pressing effect on the mind and spirits.
1t need scarcely be said that the more
sensitive the organization, the more
acutely will these unfavorable con-
ditions be felt. What we seek,
then, in winter climate, is the
opposite of these conditions, viz,
dryness, warmth and equability. But
it is always difficult to get all we want !;
besides, as matter of fact, while some
invalids require q combination of
warmth and moisture, others need
warmth and dryness, while others do
better in combination of cold and dry
air; but no one wants combination of
cold and damp, and all desire sun-heat,
q clear sky, and as much of it as posi-
BILE; and we shall find, as rule, the
value of q winter climate depends on
the number of clear and sunny days, or
the number of days and hours during
which an invalid can take exercise, or
be in the open air. The mere absolute
amount of rainfall seems of small i'm
portance, provided the nature and in
clination of the soil is such that the
water drains off rapidly from the
ground, and that there are long or fire.
quent intervals of clear, sunny skies. In
deed, as I have already pointed out,
heavy rains often have salubrious effect
in cooling and cleansing the atmos-
phere. It seems quite clear, too, that
diurnal variability of temperature, even
within wide limits, does not render q
climate unhealthy even to invalids, if it
is also dry climate, aud the invalid
learns to protect himself from the pos
sibility of sudden chill. Nor does hu-
nudity, when accompanied with moder-
ate warmth, seem to be necessarily un-
wholesome, especially in oceanic eli
mates. There are obviously many other
details demanding consideration, which
the limits of review article prevent
me from dwelling upon. One word,
however, with regard to the expense at
tending a change of winter quarters,
which proves such an obstacle to many
an invalid. Let me say to him, in the
words of DR.. johnson, "Sir, your health
is worth more than it can COST" and let
me remind him, in the words of an
other, whose name I cannot at this mo-
ment recall, that, IF life without money
is not much, money without life is
nothing at all."-J. BalTney Yeo, in
Fort,aightly Revieao. .

How He Made Economy Tremble.

Many years ago we knew mana
good-natured, harum-sca old sailor
who, though an inveterate smoker
and even more improvident than the
average of his class, was u great hand
to save in the expenditure of matches.
He would fill his pipe and then wait
for an hour until he saw some other
smoker preparing to light up, when he
would stand by to get a light himself,
and if the two pipes were sue
cessfully lighted with the one match
he would exultingly remark, II say,
matey, amt this maxim economy trem-
ble!" Then when Saturday night
came he would go on q spree, and spend
as much money in whisky as would
have kept him in matches for year

A little crib in mothers room,
A little face with baby bloom,
A little head with curly hair,
A little woody dog, q chair.
A little time for bumps and cries,
A little time to make mud pies,
A little doubling wonder when
A little pair of hands to clean.
A little ball, a top to spin,
A little "ulster" belled 10,
A little pair of pants, some string,
A little bit of every thing.
A little clustering, boisterous air,
4 little spirit of don't care"
A little tramping off to school,
A little shrug at woman's rule.
A little oder of cigar,
A little twilight talk with ma,
a little earnest study, then
A little counsel grave again.
A little talk about my girl,
A little soft mustache to twirl,
"A little tOle of jealous fear,
A little hope the way to clear.
A little knowledge of the world,
A little self-conceit down-hurled,
A little manly purpose new,
A little woman waiting true
A little wedding gay at dawns
A little pang the home to leave,
A little mother lone at dawn,
A little sigh-my boy h as gone

in former times, and this story is told of
an encounter of wits they once had. Mr..

Sunday, stopped at a peach-orchard, by
permission of the owner, and ate some
fruit. Rockmore rode by on the way to
his meeting, and bawled out: ssNeyer

E:rtcr:c Bad Eeais.

4 Correspondent Of the PaU Nal
G0-cfc, descanting on badness, cites
some eminent examples, as follows:
If one may judge from the exceptional
case of Elisha, badness seems to have
been considered Il disgrace among the
Jews in remote ages. still Il disgrace with
which il WIS not permitted to reproach
an honorable man. The punishment IN
iiictcd by divine interposiilon, and ut tho
express solicitation of the prophet upon
10 unfortunate children seems TO persons
in the present day-even. 1t may be odd
ed. to those who have lost their hair
rather severe. Lovers of analogies.
condolences and contrasts may he invited
to remark that the grease of the wild
beasts employed as instruments OF ven
geance against tho little ones who had
tamted the good old prophet with his
badness was in later centuries to he en-
ploycd as n capillary restorative. The
strength of Samson and the beauty OF
Absalom lay in their hair, and there is
significance, 10 doubt. in tho fact that
through their hair both of them came to
grief Among the Greeks. the two most
famous bald men were .i;schylus and
ULYSSES. The badness Of .Eschylus IL

aspect presented by her husbands era
mum. Badness. however, was no more
admired in those days than in our own
and when ULYSSES was restored TO youth,
stress is laid upon the fact that locks OF
the most luxuriant kind were given back
to him. Julius Cesar WAS notorious for
his badness, and the jokes made on this
subject by his soldiers on the occasion of
one of his triumphal entries into Rome
are only too well known. Nor need the
story he here repeated OF the pleasure he
took in wearing a wreath which covered
his dcnuded temples: and which, accord
ing To one Roman historian. was his chiei

ed, however, that the life-like bust oI

Personal 7s:uliarities


About forty years ago had ihd IN
my employ who had the habit when un-
expectclly spoken to OF prickinS up hls
ears in so decisive n manner ms to remind
one of the ears of Puss or of Trav when
suddenly called. Mario Louis, the
second wife of the great Napoleon. was
| in the habit Of amusing the ladies' N her
court at their private soirees by turning
her ears almost completely round, and III
a manner closing them up. She DID this
| bv a peculiar motion of the jaw. :nd she
is said to have prided herself on the e1-
plot not little.
| A man | know well wore an enormous
shock of raven hair. and would allow him
| self to be lifted by tho hair from tho
/ ground by any one strong enough to do
it. and to be swung to and fro ike

The faculty of sleeping at Will was one
Of the endewments of the fist Napoleon.

time almost to minute, he had resolved

| Among the muscular movements not
common, l have noticed several instances
of persons who could throw back the Tour
fingers of either hand until they stood
perpendicular to the back of tho hand
! and wrist Other instances ! have seen,
| though hui Il few, of persons who can
project the lower Joint of the tumb nj
most into the hollow Of the palm. In
neither of these persons is the ordinary
use or the symmetry of the hand at all
affected OF left-handcd people we have
all seen many, and they abound among
the working classes; but of the artihand-
ist, or both handed, that is, of persons
who could do everything with either
hand, as well with one rs the other, L
have known but one in the whole course
of my life. This was an orphan boy, who
had had no parental care, but had been
left almost to himself from infancy.
Quick, active. and sharp-witted, he had
taught himself many things tolerably
well, could draw fairly, could play the
fiddle and the flute, and wrote admirably
and with unrivalled rapility with either
hand
There arc many persons who, from
causes they can never explain, have re-
pugnance, almost amounting to horror
