A Plea for Fresh Air. :

Professor Reclaim, the distinguished
German hygienist, has opened cru
SADIE against the horror of night air and
draughts, which is especially prevalent
among his countrymen. Sleeping
with open windows" he says, "is most
uniustiy deserted among the people, as
well us night air in general. But night
air is injurious only in swampy regions,
whereas on dry soil, in the mountains
and everywhere in The upper stories Of
a house. it is more salubrous than day
air" "Draughts," he adds, "are not
injurious unless we are in a glow. To
healthy persons it can not possibly do
as much harm as the stagnant air in a
close room. The fear of draughts is
quite grouudless though it affects most
people in a manner which is simply ii
diculous. ~. Y. POST

A REAL THANKSGIVING


Within a garrett cold and forlorn,
A group IS gathered, Thanksgiving morn.
Father and mother with children three
One but babe on the mothers knee. .
Haggard and pale Is the fathers face
Where lingering sickness has left its trace;
While the careworn look on the mother
brow
Tells of the sorrow upon her now.
Hungry and faint from the lack of food, Z
With scanty clothing, no coal nor WOOD q
A broken table, bare pine floor
What have they to be thankful for?
Thoughts like these to the parents come,
While sitting here in their cherries home.
The children, nestled upon the bed,
fragment of carpet over them spread,
Are blind to their parents mute despair;
And the little girl, with plying air,
Says: "What do poor children do, I wonder,
With no warm carpet to cuddle under;
F'No papa and mamma to give 'em bread,
And tuck EN- up when they go to bedY
Teardrops start from the fathers eyes;
Prayers from the mothers lips arise.
Footsteps fall on the creaking floor:
knock is heard on the chamber door.
A blur Good morning" their query brings,

While the sources darkey, with cheerful
grin.
Food and clothing brings quickly in.
Lord bless, you, ma'am! why, who'd a

And the squire paused, while 4 tear arose
And dropped unseen on his ruby nose
As the baby boy, with happy look,
a rosy apple from Sambo took;
And the children gathered, with hungry owes,
Round The platter of doughnuts ana pump

While the grateful mother could only say
''IIuly this is Thanksgiving-Gay!
