REART 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 1t is too much the habit,
when persons suddenly fall down dead,
to report the heart as the cause this
silences all inquiry and investigation,
and saves tho trouble and inconven-
fence of a post monem. A truer report
would have a tendency to save many
lives. II is through report of dis
ease Of the heart that many an opium
eater is let off into the grave, which
covers at once his folly and his crime /;
the brandy drinker, too, quietly slides
around the corner thus, and is heard
of no more in short, this report of
disease of the heart is the mantle Of
charity which the polite coroner and
sympathetic physician throw around
the graves Of generous people, At q
scientific congress at Strasburg it was
reported that of sixty-six persons who
had suddenly died, an immediate and
faithful post mortem showed that only
two persons had any heart affection
whatever-onc sudden death only in
thirty.three, from diseases Of the heart.
Nine out of sixty die of apoplexy--one
out of every seven while forty.six-
more than two out of three-died Of
lung affection, half of them congestion
Of the lungs, that is, the lungs were so
full Of blood they could not work I;
there was not room enough for air to
get in to support lite 1t is then of
considerable practical interest to know
some of the common everyday causes
of this congestion of the lungs, dis.
ease which, the figures above being
true, kills three times as many per.
sons at short warning as apoplexy
and heart disease together. Cold feet,
tight shoes, light clothing, costive
bowels, sitting still until chilled thro'
after having been warmed up by labor
or long, hasty walk going too sud.
denly from a close, heated room, as q
lounger or listener, or speaker, while
the body is weakened by continual ap.
plication, or abstinence, or heated by
long address these are the frigbtful
causes of sudden death in the form Of
congestion of tho lungs; but which,
being falsely reported as disease Of
the heart, and regarded as an inevita-
bic event, throw people of their guard
instead of pointing them to their true
causes, all of which are avoidable and
very easily so, as q general rule, when
the mind has once been intelligently
drawn to the subject-HalPs Journal

About month ago rather good.

her but her broker, and he never told
it, SO far as is known, but it was said
that she was spinster or widow,
and held some menial situation in one
Of the public charitable institutions Of
the city. She brought down to the
street with her five hundred dollars
and bought one hundred shares Of
Northern Pacific common at 43. II

for few minutes on single day
Two or three days after she bought it
she got alarmed and was on the point
OF selling at a hundred dollars loss, but
somo gentlemen who deal with the
same broker and who pitied her, per

there was a rally, and she could have
sold at a small profit. The same
gentlemen and her broker also advised
her TO realize and take the money
home and keep it there, but hope had
taken the place of dependency and
she said she would have n bigger
profit and would not sell. In on hour

THE NILLERSVILLg NORMAL SCHOOL
TROUBLE.

We have received pamphlet Of 80
pages, containing a.full history Of the
Millersville Normal School trouble, in
which the aggrieved students, seventy
one in number, justly vindicate them.
selves from the misrepresentation OF
the faculty and the press. It's evident
from the written testimony produced
in this pamphlet that the students had
cause for pursuing tho course they did,
and that the principal and faculty went
beyond the bounds Of reason in their
attempt to suppress the trouble in tho
outstart. Theproceedings throughout
show that their actions were based
upon a selfish and arbitrary idea, in
stead of liberal principle. Hence their
successive explanations seem TO be
characterized by the most convicting
contradictions, rendering their side OF
the question weak, and giving the din
subordinates" every opportunity tor
convincing an intelligent public Of tho
fact that their side was deserving at
least of a hearing. The case is ono OF
some magnitude, involving some i'm
portant principles of order, and estab'
lisbinga precedent heretofore unknown
in the history Of the Normal schools OF
the State. II is apparent from tho
facts in the case that students and fac
ulty, under the vigorous pressure Of
excitement acted very imprudently.
The students allege in their explana.
ton of the case, that Prof. Brooks and
faculty were not satisfied with their
peaceable withdrawal from the school,
but subsequently, expelled them for
one year, and have, in addition to this,
been endeavoring 10 keep them from
gaining admittanco TO other schools in
the State, and from getting employment
as teachers in tho public schools. The
"boys" produce undeniable evidence TO
show that they have been pursued
in this vindiotivc manner BY tho Mill
orsyillo authorities since the trouble
in June last. Their statements alone
are severe reflections upon the honor
and dignity of the members OF the fac
ulty. and must necessarily subject them
10 severe criticism. The report Ia
scholarly in every particular, and Is
signed by all the so-called bclligerent
students, scventy.ope In number, and
certainly contains convincing array
oil facts.

ladies and gentlemen having the neccs.

A SUNFLOWER.

Earth hides her secrets deep
Down where the small seed lies,
Hid from the air aud skies
Where drst II sank to sleep,
To grow, to blossom, and to die
All, who shall know her hidden alchemy
Quick stlrs the inner strife,
Strong grow the powers Of life,
Forth from oarth's N other breast,
From her dark homes Of rest,
Forth as m essence rare,
Eager 10 meet the air,
Growth's hero being seen
Here, 10 this tenderest green.
Down by the light above,
Upward the life must movej
Touched by the outward life
kindles anew the strife,
Light seeks the dark's domain,
Draws thence with quiekening pain
New store Of substance rare,
Back through each tingling vein
Thrusts the new life again
Beauty unfoldS in air.
So grows earth's changeling child,
By light and air beguiled
Out OF her dreAmless rest
Safe In the mother breast.
Impulses come to her,
New hopes with a name
Touch every leaf, and stir
Colorless sap to fame;
Quick through her pulses run
Loves hidden mystic powers,
She wakes In golden flowers
Trembling to greet the sun.
What means this being new,
Sweet pain she never knew
Down In the quiet earth
Ere hope had come to birth
Golden he shines above,
Love wakes, and born Of love
All her sweet powers unfold,
In rays Of burning gold.
Life then means naught but this
Trembling to wait his kiss,
Wake to emotion
There where he glows she turns
A u her gold flowers and burns
With her devotion.
All, but when the day Is done
Kin z Of her world and lover
Low droops The faithful head
Where the brown earth Is spread
Waiting once more to cover
Dead hopes and blossoms over,
Earth born to earth must pass
Spirits Of leaf and grass
Touched by the sun and air
Break into colors rare,
Blossom in love and flowers,
Theirs are the golden fruits
Earth clings around the roots.
She whispers through the hours,
al will en.old sgain
Life's being love and pain.
Back TO the mother breast
Fall as the falling dew,
Once more to pass anew
Into the dreamless rest"

The Democrats would like TO be rid OF
