The Flesh Brush.

Though cleanliness is next to godli-
ness" it may be injudicious to wash the
body in cold water at all times, espe-
cially for the aged, very young and the
very weak. A cold bath is never judi
cious, always injudicious, when not fol-
lowed by sensation of comfort and
pleasure. On the contrary, no weather
is too cold for the judicious use Of the
flesh brush, one not harsh enough to
produce irritation of the surface. In
the morning its use will quicken the sur.
face circulation, increase the warmth,
sending the blood to the extremities.
while at night, on retiring, soothing
effect is produced quieting the nerves,
and favoring good nights sleep, a
matter of vast Importance, especially to
the nervous and delicate.

Or like the gourd which Jonah had,
Even such is man, whose thread is spun,
Drawn out and out, and so is done.

Or like the tale that's new begun,
Or like the bird that's here to-day,
Or like the pearled dew in May,
Or like the singing of the swami
Even such is man who lives by breath,
Is here, now there, in Life and death.
The grass withers, the tale is ended.
The bird is flown, the dews assembled,
The hour is short, the span not long,
The swans near death-man's life is done.
Like the bubble in the brook,
Or like glass, or like look,
Or like the shuttle in a weaver's hand,
Or like the writing on the sand.
Or like thought, or like dream,
Or like gliding of the stream,
Even such is man. who lives by breath,
Is here, now there, in life or death.
The bubbles out, the look forgot,
The shuttle's flung, the writings blot,
The thought is past, the dream is gone,
The waters glide-man's life is done.
Like an arrow from the bow,
Or like swift course of water Aow,
Or like that time 'twixt food and ebb,

Is always subject unto fate.
