NEVER SNuB A CLILD.-That was what
our minister said in his sermon few
weeks ago, and if those four words made
Us much impression on the rest of the con-
gregation rs they did on us, that sermon
will prove of more real practical value
than most that are preached, and the chill
dren of generations yet unborn will have
rood reason to rise up and call the preach.

report of that sermon, or even Il synopsis

GROwING OLD.-Yes, we are all grow
ing old, thsngh unconsciously, and the
current of life flows on as smoothly as
ever; indeed the fuller the current, the
more noiseless the flow. And months and
years are, after all, so very much alike
that they pass without special observation,
and we begin to get old before we think Of
it. And when we sit down TO simple sum
in arithmetic-the subtraction of the wear of
our birth from the current year-we are
astonshed at the answer, and are so
doubtful of its correctness that we 90 over
it Il second time, but always with the same
result. Children grow up around us, but
we get used to that, and seldom stop TO
compute their ages and realize the swift
flight of years. In fact, our children never
get old TO us. The wife who has stood
lovingly and faithfully at our side 50 long
never changes and is always The fair
Young bride of the old and happy days.
And so with husband-to the wife.
Though his hair might have grown gray
in some way which we do not understand,
and his firm step may seem little less
elastic or firm than it was, the husband
does not seem to have changed much after
all. He is to Us, the same strong, manly
one, whom we loved so mnch, and to
whom we coniided so much just Il little
while AGO. To he sure, the few friends OF
our youth that remain are al gray headed,
but we de not think much of that, for We
all seem to be using the same fashionable
hair.dye. There is nothing in that to
attract special attention. Some one-he
may have been Il phiosopher-has said
that if we doubt whether we are really
growing old we should look in the face OF
an old friend whom we have not seen for
twenty years. The preacher tried that II
few days ago. He did more; he looked
in the face of II friend whom he had not
seen for nearly forty years. What his
thought of him was he does not know
They were both too polite TO express their
thoughts. He knows that he kept wonder,
ing. and wonders yet, what ha' happened
to his friend that lie should look 50 very

SUNNY RooMs.-Light is one of the
most active agencies in enlivening and
beaulifying II home. We all know the
value of sunlight as IL health giving agent
to the physical constitution; and it is not
less 50 to our moral and spiritual natures.
We are more active under its influence

Let Us take the arcst, choicest and sun

and body are built up and removed. And
let us there have a bay window, no matter
how plain in structure, through which the
good twin-angels of nature sunlight and
pure air-can freely pass. Dark rooms
bring depression of spirits, imparting a
sense Of confinement, of isolation, of pow
eressness, which is chilling to energy and
vigor; but in light rooms is good cheer
Even in II gloomy house, where walls and
furniture are dingy and brown, we have

wide the window, hang brackets on either

A careful selection of animals of superb
or merit is essential to Improvement in
any breed and close and constant atten-
ton to the same process is absolutely nee
essary to prevent deterioration after u
breed has been formed. The breeder
whose admiration for particular pedi-
gree, or family, or breed, leads him to use
all the individuals of his favorite race for
breeding purposes, without regard to
merit in the individuals, is treading upon
dangerous ground; for, notwithstanding
the truthfulness of the doctrine that the
general characteristics of the race are
more likely to be transmitted than indivd-
ual peculiarities, it must always he borne
in mind that these peculiaritics are also
, transmitted with greater or less degree
Of certainty; and that us we carefully
select the best for the purpose of etl'ecting
improvement we must also with equal
care reject the poorer specimens, to pre-,
vent retrogression. Lire Stocb Journal.

AN EMPRESS EXrRAvAGANCE.-
Empress Josephine was allowed by Napo-
leon 100000 year for personal expenses,
and S24, 900 for aims giving Her success
sor, the archduchess, received only $72, 900
for these purposes. The pretext for this
difference was that Josephine had II great
many calls upon her purse from her poor
relations. There is no doubt. we are told,
that she gave great deal away, but as
her presents were never taken from her
own effects but always freshly purchased.
the practical outcome of her benelicence
was vast accumulation of debts. These
Napoleon would pay once year, never in
full, however, us he desired to keep his
wife in continual dependence. Josephine
it seems, would never tolerate ANYTHING
like order or etiquette in her private apart
ments. After she became empress Nnpo-
leon insisted that she should have no
personal dealings with shopkeepers, but
he was forced to yield upon this point
Her private rooms were always fall of
shawl merchants, silk MERGERS, mantua
makers, haberdashers, jewellers and por-
trait painters She had II mania for having
her portrait taken, and gave the pictures
TO anybody who wanted them, relatives,
friends, chambermaids, even shopkeepers.
The latter were always bringing her dia-
monds, trinkets, shawls, stutfs, and gew-
gaws of every kind she bought everything
never asking the price. and half the time
forgetting what she had purchased. From
the outset she gave her ladies in waiting
to understand that they need not meddle
with her wardrobe; everything connected
with that department was transacted in
private by her and her maids. of whom
there were six or eight. She rose ut nine
O'Clock, her toilet was Il very prolonged
performance, one part of it being some
what mysterious and involving divers
operations for the preservation and i'm
provement of her complexion. When this
work of art was finished she had her hair
dressed and her person wrapped in long
wrapper, lavishly trimmed with lace. We
are informed that her chemises and petit
coats were also elaborately trimmed.
Nine. de Remusat deems it pertinent to
add the further detail that Josephine
changed her chemises and all her linen
thrice - day, and wore none but new
stockings. After her hair was done, they
brought her huge baskets containing
quantities of gowns, bonnets and shawls.
OF India shawls she had as many ms three
or four hundred-she made gowns Of them,
or bed coverings, or cushions for her dog.
She always wore one in the morning,
draping it about her shoulders with a
grace peculiar 10 herself. Bonaparte, who
thought shawls hid her figure too much,
would now and then tear them off and

Cool CouRAGE.-A writer who has

WHoopING CoUGH.-Fungod growth,
the cause of whooping cough was the
subject of lecture delivered in New York
by Henry A. Mott before the academy of
sciences. This disease, which is so preva-
lent in cities, deserves careful study.
remarked the lecturer. In cities in this
country the disease was mostly prevalent
in Charlestown; then followed Philadel-
phia, New York and Baltimore. Much
diversity of opinion existed rs TO its causes.
Some regarded it us bronchial inhamma-
ton, while Others held that it was disease
off specific character; and that the bronch-
cal Inflammation was only II concomitant.
The remedies prescribed were as numerous
as the opinions about the disease. Patients
were given purgatives, ,emetics, ,astringents,
expectorants, narcotics. tonics, etc. DR..
Letzerich first discovered, by aid of the
microscope. the existence Of fnngi in
various forms in the expectorated mucus !;
and subsequent investigation proved that
this fungoid growth WIS the direct cause
of the whoopng cough. lie showed that
if the expectorated mucus is whooped up
during the first catarrhal stage of the
disease there will be seen. besides por-
ton of the phlegm. small elliplically shap-
ed, brownish red. fungous spores, some of
which have partially germinated and
brought into existence mycelium. The
lecturer showed an illustration of the
fungus in its various stages of development
spores, mycelium filaments, and other
forms. The spores in whoopng cough
differ in appearance from those in diphthe-
ria, and the growth of mycelium and
thread fungus is very rapid, while the
expeotorated mucous becomes thick, and

in drying, is CLASSY, although tenacious.
DR.. Hamilton, the lecturer said, was oi
the opinion that the spores were received
by the individual in the saliva, which
attached itself to the under side of the
tongue, where the mucus membrane is
thinest and softest. Here they germinate
and spread to the larnvx and pharnyx,
where the whooping cough is established
Elevation or Jumps are often seen under
the tongue before the whooping, but
catarrhal symptoms are quite prominent
then. There is also discharge from the
nose, sutfused eyes, headache, some fever
and great lassitude. Quinine is considered
the best remedy for the disease. 1t arrests
the alcoholic fermentation caused by the
fungi, prevents their development, and
generally acts as poison to them. The
best way of taking qunine for whooping
cough is by placing it in the form OF
powder upon the tongue, and letting it
dissolve there. The doses are from two to
five grains for children, and three to five
grains for adults.
