Variety in

1t is the idea of many that any one
can learn to farm. But as there are so
many branches Of farming any one Of
which require years OF steady and close
application to master by the best minds,
it is deemed advisable for all farmers to
avoid undertaking too many things.
There are some vegetables, grains and
fruits which have been raised SO long
and are so well understood, that their
production does not require so much
study, and can be used probably, in
making up q variety on the farm. And
yet these simplest things require active
minds, aud close attention to business
to produce probably, and great care
and thought to sell to advantage.
But there are many things, which re-
| quire the undivided attention and study
0f the most active minds. 1t will not
often prove a success, if any man at.
.empts to carry on two or more ofthcin

Alcohol. and the Heart.Beats

As a rule it will do we'll to let the pro,
cess Of life in our bodies COON without
noticing it, for doubtless it wonld make
us very nervous to have the internal ma.
chinery in motion before u eyes. But
to prevent people from abusing that del
icate machinery, it often becomes neces-
sary to show it; and if Il person addicted
to wrong indulgence is made nervous
by the sight, it may save him from being
something far worse.
DIR. N. b. Richardson. of London, the
noted physician, sayswhe was recently
able to conv-ysa considerable amount oil
conviction to an intelligent scholar by a
simple experiment. The scholar was
singing the praises efthe "Ruddy Bump
err" and saying, he could MOI get through
the day, without it, when DR.. Richard
son said to him,E
Evil you be good enough to feel my
pulse as l stand here?"
He did 80. l said. Count it careful
ly; what does it say?" o
Your pulse says seventy. four"
l then sat down in a chair and asked
him to count it again. He dld SO, and
said, Your pulse has gone down to
seventy"
I then lay down on the lounge, and
Sald,-
"Will you take it again?"
HE replied, "Why its only sixty
four; what an extraordinary thing"
I then said, when you lie down al
night, that is the way nature gives your
your heart rest. You know nothing
about it. but that beating organ is resting
to that extent, and when you reckon IL
up, it is a great deal of rest,
because in lying down the heart
is doing ten strokes less
a minute. Multiply that by sixty and it
is six hundred; multiply it by eight
hours, and within a traction it is five
thousand strokes different; and as the
heart is throwing six ounces OF blood al
| every stroke, it makes q difference OF
thirty thousand ounce OF lifting during
the night.
"WhenI lie down at night without
any alcohol, that is the rest my heart
gets. But when you take your wine OF
grog you do not allow that rest, for the
influence of alcohol is to increase the
number o fstrokee, and instead ofgettina
this rest you put on something like 6f-
teen thousand extra strokes, and the re.
suit is you rise Up very seedy and unfit
for the nextday's work till you have tax
en- a little more OF the ruddy bumper
which you say is the soul of a man be-,
