A New Idea For Lovers.

At wedding, recently celebrated,
were present some twenty-five young
persons, all of them in a condition
which, for various reasons, they gen.
orally concurred in regarding as unde-
slrable-the "unengaged." One of the
gentlemen of the party suspected the
prevalence among them offeelings that
might easily be exchanged for others
infinitely more fixed and agreeable
He accordingly proposed the choosing
OF a president, person worthy of all
confidence, whose duty it should be to
receive from each individual a folded
paper inscribed with the name of the.
person handing it in, and also with the.
name OF another person of the other
sex whom the first would be willing to.
marry. The President, in addition to,
the restraints of his own sense of hon
or, was to be put under a solemn.
pledge of eternal secrecy. All refusing
to accede to the proposition were for
the time to leave the room. Those
whose choice was reciprocal-that is.
whose papers contained the same two,
names-were to bepriyately informed;
while the selections of the others were
to remain undisclosed. The result
was that the trial was made; all shared
IN the excitement, and eleven couples
were found to be made happy-and
their several unions were afterward
consummated.

No Fears of Cholera

Surgeon General Hamilton, of the Marine
hospital at Washington, says that there is
as yet nothing to alarm the people of the
Unfsed States in the reports coming by ca.
bic OF the spread OF cholera. Despite
all that has been said about the
portability OF the epidemic reaching our
shores this year, he says there is not single
circumstance to render therisk greater than
twas last year. There is every indication
that this years outbreaks are to follow the
course OF those OF last year, the localities
suffering most severely being those which
have not taken the most ordinary precau.
;tions OF cleanliness and distinction. DR..
lHamiiton says Americas danger is mainly
from cholera in England or in Cuba. Ithas
fbeen his impression that if 1T comes to the
United States it would come byway OF Cuba,
and ior this reason the efforts ofthe service
have been directed mainly against contagion
in that direction.

Acute Bright's Disease.

Every particle of the body is con-
stantly passing from state of life to
that of death. This waste, if left to
accumulate in the system, would soon
fatally poison it. The kidneys are
among the chief organs for eliminating
it. The proper continuous action OF
the kidneys is fundamentally essential
to health. But they are subject to
many disorders, among which is in
Mammation. This inflammation NAV
affect only one of them, or only por-
fons of one. In Bright's disease both
are affected, and all the constituent
parts of each.
Bright's disease may be either acute
or chronic, the latter being much the
more fatal. The former may be very
mild, the inflammation being marked
only in certain capillaries, which, how
ever, become SO far changed that they
allow the escape of albumen and blood
corpuscles- AS general thing, this
form does not terminate fatally.
In graver forms, among the earliest
symptoms are a dropsical swelling OF
the face, particularly on the eyelids
and around the eyes, and then in the
lower limbs; feverishness; some pain
and tenderness over the kidneys; vorl-
iting. The dropsv tends to increase,
and to extend to the cavities oi
the abdomen and chest. Sometimes
it is very excessive, and causes
great difficulty of breathing. The urine
rs scanty, contains much albumen,
more.o less of red blood corpuscles,
considerable sediment, and hollow
coasts of the straight tubes of the
kidney.
AS the disease arrests the proper
functions of the kidney, the poisons
which accumulate in the blood give
rise to vomitings, impaired vision, or
even temporary blindness, and in some
cases to coma Qethargy) and convul-
sions. It may also give rise to bron-
chitis, pleurisy, pneum onial 3pericardi-
tbs inflammation Of the heart sack
and peritonitis.
The disease often proves fatal where
these complications occur If the pa
tient is notcut off by bloodpoisoning,
or. by some of these complicating dis.
seases, he is likely to recover, and
that, too, within month or two at
the longest-the dropsy rapidly disap-
pearing, the fever symptoms ceasing
and the appetite returning, though
the albumen and the casts may CON
tinue for some time longer. The re-
covery is generally. complete;
Acute Bright disease is often due to
various other diseases, especially to
scarlet fever ~ * - - 49,
The physician must treat this dis
ease, but during convalescence the
patient must bevesy careful in regard
to diet, exercise and exposure to
cold.-Youth's s. Companion.

Willie's Birthday.

Willie's birthday is the same day as
George Washington's, and Willie.
thought it was rather hard that folks,
should make such a fuss about Wash,
ington, and have grand supper at
the hall, with lots of flowers and good
things to eat, while they never noticed
him at ALL
Mamma laughed when he told her
about it, and said he might have a
party too; but when he asked herwho
he should invite, she told him to ask
any one he wished, only not make too
much noise. They should have supper
at six in the great kitchen, and they
might play in the kitchen chamber.
Off he ran to ask his playmates, but
they were all going to the cove ON a.
grand slelghride, and couldn't stop.
He was going home with very sad
face, wnen he spied little Sam Jenkins,
the boot-black, shivering and stamping
his feet to keep warm.
Willie thought of verse in the Bible
ABOUT making a feast for the lameand
blind, and before he hardly knew " nat
ne was DUNG, he stepped up and invit-
ed Sam to his tea-party, and told him
to bring Joe and Jim too.
Before he got home he was almost.
sorry. What would they know about
playing games or having a good tine2
All they knew was to black boots.
But then, they would like the supper
they didn't look as if they had a great
deal to eat, anyhow.
When he told mamma about his
fresh trouble, she laid her hand on his
head and Said
MAY you always be as thoughtful
of the poor, my boy"
That made him feel better about it,
and when the three boys came ti1nldly
to the back door he met them With
real delight, and led them up to the
great warm kitchen chamber, where he
soon learned that bootblacks can en-
JOY boyish games as we'll as any other
boys, and supper time came before
they knew it.
How their eyes opened at the sight
OF the daintily spread table with it's
load of good things, and how they ate2
1t did Willie's heart good to see them.
Somehow Mrs. Smith and Mrs,
Brown heard ofWillie's tea party, and
JltsC dts tHe DOyS were gong nome bney
each came in with good warm suit OF
clothes which their own boys had out
grown, and Willies mamma found
another in the garnet that was too
small for him, but just right for joe
Then three pairs of boots came from
somewhere-just little worn, perhaps,
but whole and thick yet, and in each
boot was a warm wollen stocking wait,
ing for cold little foot. On a chair
near by lay three pairs OF home knit
mittens, and three thick caps that
were nice if they were a little faded
| How those three boys stared, ;rnd
when they realized their good fortune
how they clapped their hands and
cheered for Joy!
AS Willie's mother tucked hinr into
his little bed that night, he said, with
a happy sigh:
at is more blessed to give than to
receive, mamma, and guess my birth
day is better than Washingtou's after
al."-Youth's Companion.
