why Life is so Short.

DIR. Hitchcock, says the Boston Her.
aid, who is believed to be the professor
of atheletics at Amherst College, an
swers the question, why we live no
longer, by showing that we are conSum-
ing our energies as people at such
rate that the physical and mental work
which used to be distributed through 70
wears is now substantially accomplished
at 40. Mems heads are prematurely
bankrupt; their stomachs are worn out;
their hearts, kidneys and muscles are
overworked; and then as if to put a
climax upon the present plan, he says:
eff the use of tobacco increases during
the present as it has during the past
twenty-five years, we shall not only
know of sudden deaths from heart and
brain injuries consequent upon it, but
we shall see in the Anglo-Saxton race,
men emasculated and sorely deficient
in muscular strength. A lack of con-
troll over our bodily and mental func-
tions is one reason why we live 40 in
stead of 10 years." This is plain Ian
guage, but it comes to the point. DIR.
Hitchcock says of our youth who are
allowed to follow their impulses, and
are but partially checked in their appe-
tites before manhood or even youth
comes on, that "the tender and grow
ing organs are so debased and abused
that dysentery, diphtheria or fever IS
forced in and life is forced out before
the natural limit of life." Again, he
alludes to the use of tobacco by youth
to the extent "that all at once an arte-
riale in the brain substance breaks open
and life is given up in the teens rather
than in the scores" The records of
our public schools can be searched to
show that the examining and overpres-
sure are making terrible mischief among
young girls at the age when they are
least able to bear the strain. The pri-
vate remarks of long-settled clergyman
in this city, that he had buried too
many girls from one of our schools ever
to send his daughter there, makes one
open his eyes. In every direction we are
making life shortly our vices, by oul
careless use of physical force, by oul
pushing habits, by wrong methods IN
our public schools, by the attempt tc
get double portion of satisfaction ou
of life as it is dealt out to us. Boys anc
girls are yielded up to death simply be
cause in the homes of the people there
is no one to teach and compel the younl
to use the forces of life moderately.

The merits of this machine have placed it in the
front rank of the list of Sewing Machines of the
present day. No machine on the market can claim
the advantages possessed by the Royal st. John.
1t is constantly becoming more popular and more
extensively used. You need only examine the
machine and the work it does to convince you that
my position in reference to the merits of the Royal
st. John is we'll taken. tits so exceedingly simple
in construction that there is very little friction or
wear in any of its parts and the few parts that are
subjected to wear areprovided with adjustable steel
collars, by means of which any lost motion can be
taken up by the simple turn of screw, thus the
machine can be kept perfectly tight and free from
noise. The Royal st. John runs exceedingly light,
makes very little noise. The etenson is simple and
perfect and is adapted to all classes of work. 1t
makes no difference whether the wheel of the ma
chine is run forvard or backward the feed always
works the goods from the operator and sews just
the same without breaking cotton or needle. Every
lady is requested to examine this grand machine
before buying any other. Send for circular. have

Take Things as They Come.

Some days are bright and sunny,
And some are bleak with rain,
Some lives are crowned with pleasure,
And some are filled with pain.
For some the world is rosy,
For others sad and glum;
But all who'd know contentment
Should take things as they come.
You know Dame Fortunes tickle
And oft withdraws her smile,
And things to suit our fancy
Won't fashion all the while.
The best of puddings only
Has here and there plum
Then look upon the bright side,
And take things as they come.
'Tis not by care and worry,
'Tis not by fume and fret,
That great things we accomplish
And wreaths victorious get.
1t is by watching, waiting,
And bravely working from
The morn till night, and taking
Life's trials as they come.
Depend this world is sunny,
If we the sun would see;
Then take things as they're going,
And not as they should be.
We ever may be happy,
And joy will hope and hum
Around us, if we only
viii take things as they come.
