Self-Care While Nursing the Sick.

The following. from the Christian Union. is
sensible advice, and, likely to be needed by nom
professional muses., who often forget them
care:
To those who are called npon to nurse the
sick through long and severe illness it is of
the utmost Importance, not only to themselves.
but to their patient, that their own health
should be preserved and their own strength
maintained not only throughout the critical
stage, but during the period of convalescence.
oftentimes so tediOusly prolonged To all such we
submit the following simple precautions to aid
them In preserving their own health while mr.
sing the sick:
If the malady Of the patient be such as TO
cause any marked odor of the breath or notice
able eXhalations from the skin, take care ALWAYS
to SIT on that side of the bed or sick person
which is opposite to or away from the direction
which the ef1uvia takes toward the windows or
draught of fireplace. Sit so that their breath.
etc, is carried away from you. Do not sit too
close to them, or take their breath If you can
avoid it.
To keep ones own strength in a case OF pro-
longed care and particularly If obliged to sit up
all night for many nights in succession. great
benefit will be derived from taking warm bath
early in the morning, and putting on fresh nm
dergarments every second morning; or, if the
disease be particularly infectious in its nature
it is best to change the Undertaking every
morning. 1t will be found that the warm bath.
followed by brisk rubbing OF the whole BODY
with coarse Turkish towel or flesh brush, will
refresh the wearied body almost as much as
and strength by small doses of quinine, two to
| five grains three times day, and nourishing
diet. with perhaps little wine and water occa-
sionally

Work Of the Glaciers.

Riding through the country we sometimes see
IN the fields and pastures immense masses of
rock, with no other stones in the vicinity. and
perhaps wonder where these bOulders came
from. Science has solved the mystery. Ages
ago great glaciers from the northern fee fields
covered the eastern part of the continent. and
rs they slowly melted and moved oceanwarSi
they bore in their course great masses Of rock,
which finally settled upon the ground by the Ice
melting around them. The following extract
gives some idea of the work of the glaciers:
In North America, and especially throughout
tile northern states, the bOulders are numerous.
often of great size, and indicating transits of
Eany miles Over the eastern. middle and
northwestern states. bOulders that have emf
grated from distant points to the northward.
occur in such abundance that they NAV almost
anywhere be found. if the inquirer will only eX-
anime the country he passes over. Upon Mt.
karahdln. in the MoOsehead region of Maine
stones can be seen. lying over 4 900 feet above
the sea, fossiliferous in their nature and
coming from northern sites; while to-
ward Mt Desert masses, some forty to
Efty feet in height. are sprinkled every
where. and. as In the case of the Dedham granite
distributed TO the south. invariably show north
ern origin In Berkshire county Massachu-
sets. these travelled rocks lie I'm long align
Elents, passing over the LenOx Hills, and ex-
ttuOlus direction
for fifteen or twenty miles. and have been
hlched from the Canaan and Richmond hills
across the line in New York being of chloritc
slate. with angular specimens or limestone in
termixed. Some GRANTEES from Vermont on
the west OF the Green mountains have been
Hfted over these barriers and transferred TO the
southern margins OF Massachusetts; while in
Vermont, boulder weighing over 400 tons.
en5t known as the Green Mountain Giant. has
been drifted from the Green Mountains easterly
across the valley OF the Deerfe.d river and
painted go feet above that stream. In Michi-
gan. near the MenOmOnee river a field upon the
northern slope of mountain is densely covered
with eoulders. so that mile can be traversed
without once touching the ground. Again.

BL,NKEFs AND BEARING RE1Ns
A EaOrse's Opinion of Them.

'Blinkers are dangerous things i'm the night:
we horses can see much better In the dark than
men can, and many an accident would never
have happened if horses might have had the full
use of their eyes Some years ago. remember
there was hearse with two horses returning
one dark night. and Just by Farmer Sparrow's
house, where the pond is close to the road. the
wheels went too near the edge, and the hearse
was overturned into tine water: both the horses
We're drowned and the driver hardly escaped.
OF course after this accident a stout white rail
was put up that might be easily seen, but if
those horses had not been partly blinded, they
would of themselves have kept farther from the
edge, and no accident would have happened.
When our masters carriage was overturned.
before you came here, it was said. that if the

The COqHet,e's Tears.

From the COurier-JO2aradL
RfvuletS from violet eyes
Tremole down glowing cheek;
Showers are they from summer skies
vending through heathered creek.
Weep, o maid; l from the pain
Lightly laden pleasure gain.
How I'd soothe your grief, If great!
But know the pearls but prance
Like outriderS TO the state
Or your smiling, rOguSh glance.
Weep, o maid; Ter there appears
Sweetest Sadness in your tears.
Were / not as coy as you
/ would deem the weeping sad,
Coax you as / sometimes 90,
Kiss you till we both were glad:
But I'll lose kiss to-day,
watch you weep and waste away.
All, your hands now hide laugh
Which your voice too we'll betrays;
Come, then, mingled wine Well Quaff
From the cup-iike lips you raise.
There, ma.d-1h, now you cry
There, then, therei and so do /!

THE EGelweiss.

Far up on sternest Alpine crests,
Where winds OF tempest blow,
1hey say that, all unfearing, rests
flower upon the Snow.
tiny flower, pale ami sweet,
That blooms DER breath OF ice;
And glad are they, on any day,
Who lind the EitlweISS.
All! far on heights OF SorrOws cold,
Where tears are dropping slow.
Some hearts have found, and, finding, told
How fair flower may grow.
With petals pale, but perfume rare,
1t garIandS days or ice;
AND blessed are they VINO, weeping, pray,
And lind Faiths EdelWeisS.
