Heart Disease.

When an individual is reported to
have died of disease of the heart, we
are in the habit OF regarding it as an
inevitable event, as something which :
could not have been foreseen or pre-.
vented, and it is too much the habit,
when persons suddenly fail down dead.
to report the heart as the cause; this
silences all inquiry and investigation,
and saves the trouble and incouyen. +,
fence of post 'nortem. A trller report y
would have tendency to save many
lives. 1t is through report of disease d
of the heart that MANY an opium eater J.!
is let off into the grave, which cove3
at once bis folly and his crimes, tho
brandy drinker, too, quietly slides.
around the corner thus, and is heard Of =
no more; in short, this report of dis.
ease of the heart is the mantle of chat! 4

1t was reported that of sixty.six ,per.H

congestion of the lungs, that is, the
lungs were so full of blood they could {
not work; there was not room for air =
enough to get in to support life. II IS
then of considerable practical interest
to know some Of the common every.
day causes of this congestion of the
lung, a disease which. the figures above
being true, kills three times as many
persons at short warning Is apoplexy :,
and heart disease together. Cold feet,
tight shoes. light clothing, cbstive,

!righttul causes OF sudden death in the
form OF congestion Of the lungs; but
which, being falsely reported as disease
of the heart, and regarded as an inevl-
table event, throw people Oft their
guard, instead Of pointing them plain

avoidable; and very easily so. as a gen

Not far from Writ county IL III,
homo Of two young ladies, sisters
aged respectively eighteen and twenty
years. They were each receiving tn,
addresses Of lovers. who were brothers
and both couples we're engaged to b,
married. II was their intention &
celebrate double wedding about the
Faster, but now matters have chang
ed. A few days ago Jhe four wef,
sitting together in the girls home,
when the elder lady expressed dc
sire to attend a proiractdl meeting
then being held in a village near by.
She asked her lover to accompany her,
but he refused point blank, giving ~
reason that he was not a Christian.
The young lady insisted, but still he
refused. Finally she turned to his
brother. who, il seems, was a Chris
tian, and asked him to accompany
her. To the surprise Of all, he at
once consented, and they went TO the
meeting. The two who remained at
home were very indignant, the one at
the conduct Of her lover, the other at
the way his sweetheart had AGED. The
more they discussed il the more angry
they became. They discovered that
they--the ones at home-were both
Sinners while the two who had
gone were Christians. They talked
on, discovering little by little similari-
ties Of taste and habits, and finally re-
solved each TO break with the old love
and form new alliance. No sooner
resolved than the compact was ratified
by kiss, when by chance the others
entered. The gentleman at once told
his brother what they hal resolved TO
do. To his great surprise no sorrow
was shown, no anger was manifested,
and his wonder was increased when he
was informed that the other couple,
while on their walk home, had resolv.
ed N do the same thing, The court.
ing, therefore, now goes on as usual.

. Malachi Higgins is the tenant in
possession Of five acres Of the divided
farm. The house in which he lives
was built by his father when on his
marriage that portion Of land was al.
lotted to him. Ii was a cabin con-
sisting OF single room. The walls
are made Of TEN pered mud mixed
with straw, aud the water that oozes
from the rotten thatch makes Shiny
patters upon their whitewashed faces.
In this one room is a bedstead, raised
about eighteen inches from the mud
floor, on which a feather bed IL placed
over a thick layer of straw, and in
this bed sleeps every member Of the
family-Malachi Higgins, his wiie's
and the girls heads one way and the
boys at the other end of the bed. Be-
tore his father succeeded in procuring
bed the family adhered 10 the prim'
tive eustsm Of sleeping "stradogue.
At night, rushes and ferns being
spread upon the floor, the husband
and wife lay down in the middle,
the youngest girl next the mother,
the youngest boy next the father, and
so on in graduation of age until at the
extreme end were the strangers sleep
ing on the outside of their respective
sexes. The bedstead being raised 50
high of the ground affords comfort
able place where the pigs can sleep,
and in the winter the additional
warmth supplied by the animals is
welcome. The other end Of the apart
ment is large enough to accommodate
theass so Malachi. Higgins, sees no ne
cessiiy for erecting a shed for these

ers-on came near fainting, and other
retired, unable to longer watch the
fortunes of the poor wretch. Water

In eighteen minutes he stood upon tn,
