Sunny Rooms.

Those who build houses, do so for the
income they may yield. They are not
especially interested in the welfare of
those who may inhabit them. As a
matter of observation we must insist
that shaded houses are unhealthy, that
every dwelling in which the
young and growing live should have
sunlight pouring into some of its rooms
during every hour of the day. The inn
portance of admitting the sunny rays in
dwellings can not be too highly esti-
mated. These rays promote health and
strength. We are apt to feel that good
health depends on pure air more than
on the influence of the sun. They both
have so great an influence on life and
growth that they should be allowed to
fill every room occupied by animals or
plants. Light may be SO direct and
brilliant as to be injurious to the eyes,
then let its penetrating rays be softened,
but let them enter in such a way as to
do good and no harm.
Much has been said in recent times
about the value of a sun bath. No
doubt it does produce and retain a
healthy condition of the body. 1t costs
nothing but the means of exposing the
nude body to the sunny rays in such
way as to exclude prying eyes. A few
a20u DBISOuSs We nave huOTns VIM
built a small room upon the top of their
dwelling in such a way as to admit
freely the sunny rays but exclude all
eyes but His who lives in the space far
above. These men lived to see their
ninetieth year and more. They did not
hesitate to proclaim the great influence
of sunlight upon health and life. Others
will find, if they search, that sunlight is
worth more than gold-and pure water.
fresh air, proper food well digested and
sunny house, always dry, viii secure
health and strength. Any one who has
eyes and uses them may see that those
who live in the open air and under the
sunny rays are healthier and stronger
than those whose days are chiefly spent
in the shade. The feeble should seek
the sunny rays; many become feeble by
excluding from their homes the life
giving sun. They do all they can to
exclude the source of all strength and
health. Let all pale, weakly women
court the sunny rays, and become robust
and strong.-C II AtIen, NJ d., n

The Vale Of Years.

Very young people are ant to regard
person who has passed her first youth
as already meandering through the vale
of years, where the flowers are no lOnger
blooming, nor the fields green, and
where the faded autumn leaves rustic
mourn ully beneath the tread. There
Is no joy, no happiness, or beauty, in
their eyes, within this valley, which is,
ter all, only a suburb of that other
where the dense shadows take CHASTITY
shapes. As they grow older, they make
the astonishing discovery that the path
is not SO full of thorns as they supposed,
nor so steep. 1t was Mrs. Somerville
who wished che could persuade young
people that to be old is not as terrible
as they think" Life has revealed to
the old a thousand pleasures it has hid
den from the young pleasures that
grow by the common roadside, to
which they are blind; pleasures which
it has not entered into the heart of the
young o understand. -
Youth is crude, and has no perspec-
tive, but the vale OF years opens charm
| ing vistas in the past, where the night
| ingale sings, and the rose blossoms,
| and stars scintillate. The youth is full
of impotence and enthusiasms, eager
to test himself, to grasp at happiness;
age dwells in the land of the lotus
eater, where neither the pain of
failure nor the gladness of sue
| cess penetrates; where vanity and
| heart-burning are out of fashion;
where ships have come in with rich
cargoes, or have long b en- given mp;
where to-day is fairer than tom rrow,
| and expectation and suspense are out
of date. The old have found out long
since what the world held for them OF
| good or i'll, and have made the best OF
| it. The Able Morellet, we are told,
was so in love with old age he de-
clared that IF the gods were to permit
| him TO return to earth in whatever shape
| he might choose, he should perhaps
make the whimsical choi g of return
| ing as an old man" Old age is some
thing more than infirmity, ''gout and
| rheumati- M" it is another standpoint
we SEE the world and its happenings
perhaps, with the impartial eyes of 8
| dWeller in another star.
1.-THE souls dark cottage. battered and de
| cayed.
| Let's in new light through chinkS that Time
| has made"
The vexatious troubles of youth anC
middle life seem trihing to the old, seer
by this illumination, and affect then
no m re painfully than pleasant mel
ody in the minor key. In truth th'
vale of years is not so dolOrous a place
as it is painted; the shadows close abou
those who linger there so gently ant
imperceptibly that they are hardly
aware of the darkening.- HARPER

Once upon time a village editor
awoke to find burglar searching in his
chamber for his gold and bonds, and,
drawing his trusty pistol from beneath
his pillow, he took steady aim at the in
truder's head. Looking around and be-
coming painfully aware of his peril, the
burglar pleadingly said:
Spare me, for l have made a mis-
take in the house. ] have found moth
ing but an old out-of-date railrOad-pass.
Let me depart in peace"
''Not So" answere the editor, hold,
ing his aim like a skilled marksman,
for this is Almighty dull week for To-
calsn
But pause moment and reflect. -
returned the burglar. Your paper is
not issued till Friday. Your hated ri
val, the Weekly BungstarteT, will go t.
press tomorrow evening, and would
have at least two columns of my death
and the COrOner's inquest. It would
be fully two days ahead of you"
''True enough" said the editor with
a sigh, as ne lowered his pistol and re
placed it under his pillow" You are
too early in the week for an item for
me, and l therefore spare you. You
will find the plumbers house, for which
you evidently mistook the humble
home, next door but one. "-Niddie-
