HYgienic Value Of Mirth.

But, aside from all this, mirth has
an hyglenic value that can hardly be
overrated while our social life remains
what the slavery of vices and dogmas
has made it. JOY has been called the
sunshine Of the heart, yet the same sun
that calls forth the flowers Of plant il
also needed to expand its leaves and
ripen its fruits; and without the stimu-
lus Of exhilarating pastimes perfect
bodily health is as impossible as moral
and mental vigor And, as sure rs n
succession of uniform crops will ex-
haust the best soil, the daily repitition
of monotonous occupation will wear
out the best man. Body and mind re-
quire an occasional change of employ
ment, or else a liberal supply Of fer
tilizing recreatIons, and this require
ment is factor whose omission often
foils the arithmetic of our political
economists. TO the creatures of the
wilderness atfiiction comes generally
in the form of impending danger
famine or persistent persecution; and
under such circumstances the modiii-
cations of tho vital process seem to
operate against It's long continuance;
well-wishing nature sees her purpose
defeated, and the vital energy. flags,
the sap Of life runs to seed. On the
same principle an existence Of joyless
drudgery seems 10 drain the spring Of
health, even at an age when they can
draw upon the largest inner resources; !;
hope, too often baffled, at last with
draws her aid; the tongue may be at
tuned to canting hymns of consolation,
but the heart cannot be deceived, and
with its sinking pulse the strength Of
life ebbs away. Nine-tenths Of our
city children are literally starving for
lack of recreation; not the means Of
life, but its object, civilization has de-
frauded them Of; they feel a want
which bread eau only aggravate, for
only hunger helps them to forget the
misery of ennui. Their pallor is the
sallow hue of cellar plant; they
would be healthier if they were hap
pier. | would undertake TO cure a
sickly child with fun and rye bread
sooner than with tidbits and tedium. -

How Sixty-Three Lives We're Lost
and Many Homes Made DesOla.e.


A fearful storm swept over the Shet-
land Islands late on Wednesday night,
and continued to blow with great fury
till Thursday morning resulting in the
destruction of property and a loss of
life unprecedented in the North since
1882 On Wednesday the weather was
favorable for prosecuting fishing, and
boats from every station throughout
the islands put to sea, when the storm
burst with a suddenness that gave no
preliminary warning. The boats were
far at sea; those prosecuting herring
fishing had their nets set, and those at
od-fishing had lines set. The storm
prevented the fishermen from hauling
their lines or nets, and great loss of
fishing material was sustained. On
Thursday all the large-decked boat6
fishing from Lerwiel had arrived in
safety, but as day advanced and reports
came in from the inland stations il was
apparent that terrible calamity had
oyertaken large proportion Of the
inhabitants Of the islands. At Dun
rossness five boats were missing but
arrived late on Thursday night, to the
inexpressible joy of the wives and fam
lies of tne men.
The fleet at Scalloway and Walls,
which are all decked boats, weathered
the gale in safety, but suffered the loss
OF their material. 1t is In the north
Isles cfShetland that the most disas-
trous loss has occurred. Owing to the
difficulty of communication, and the
want of Telegraph facilities to some
places, it is impossible as yet to get
fun details, but the grave fears enter
tanned at first have been sadly confirm

A. M.-The subject of the removal of
the president from Washington at the

moreover, unanimously of the opinion
lhat at no time since his injury has the

Closing Exercises.
GOSHEN, july 4th, 1881

/
Mr.. Editor 1t was the pleasure of the
writer to attend the annual commencement
of the Andrew Small Academy on Thurs
day evening, the Both ult. The academy,
named after its generous founder, is situated
in the pleasant village of Jamestown. Rev.
Q. N. Campbell, the principal, is very popu-
lar as teacher with both students and
patrons.
The exercises consisted of Rotations, COM
positions, dialogues and music, both vocal
and instrumental. The interest in the school
was evinced by the large audience present
The spacious rooms were filled to overflow
ing, the halls and windows were also full,
all anxious to see and hear. The exhibit
ton was highly enjoyed by all present, re-
tlecting credit upon the principal and his
able corps of teachers and also upon the
scholars. The several compositions read
were evidences Of close study and attention,
"Ideal and Real Life" read by Wilson Of
futt; "Inhuence," read by Miss +. Mulican;
"Lites Seasons" read by Miss Linda Young,
were compositions of high order, showing
close thought and attention. Miss Wnder,
the accomplished music teacher of the school,
won golden opinions from an appreciative
audience, rs did Mr.. John Campbell, Misses
Campbell, Young, Windsor, Master L. Will
liams and others who rendered some very
fine instrumental solos and duets, while the
members of the vocal class, Misses Grace
Claggett, Hughes and Campbell, Misses Null
lican and West held the large throng SPELL
bound with their sweet songs. "Warrens
Address," acclaimed by Master Geo. Peter
was highly enjoyed and elected loud APP
plause, many predicting brilliant future
for the youthful orator. The program from
its commencement to its close was well rem
dered and reflects great credit upon both
instructors and pupils. The valedictory de-
livered by Mr.. Lee Claggett was listened to
with attention by all present and gave evil
dence of close study and careful research.
AT the close of the exhibition the students
presented the principal with a beautifully
bound Bible. One of the students in neat
and appropriate manner made the presen-
| tation address. The principal in his reply
seemed much affected by this mark Of APP
probation.
Prizes We're awarded to Messrs. Lee Clag-
gett, Wilson Offutt and John Campbell,
members of the graduating class Prizes
for composition to George w. Devecmoor,
Misses Katie Peter, Eva Peter, Florence
Mullcan and others Silver medal for SPELL
ing was awarded to Miss Mamie Campbell
certificates to John Campbell, Lee Claggett,
Katie Peter, Eva Peter, Florence Mullcan
Oracle Claggett, Eva Windsor and others.
The academy is in tlourishing condition,
having sixty students, an able corps of teach
ers, and as it educates both sexes it furnishes
great advantages to the people of the vicinity.
The Andrew Small Academy stands as II fit
monument to perpetuate the name and fame
of its generous founder. JOSEPH.

quarter more Coffee from same amount of

touch the sides or bottom of the pot, hence

whatever, as the sack acts as perfect clarifer.
