NURSING NERVES.
How to Control Temper and Preserve
Presence of Mind.

HOW TO COnIrOl 1empGr ana Preserve
Presence of Mind.
A term of less than half year as
attendant in an insane asylum teaches
a person how to control temper, apply
tact and preserve presence of mind to
such an extent as to give that person
great command over one whose nervous
system is broken down, although the
sanity be unimpaired, and whose con-
dition requires perhaps more care, and
certainly induces about as much suffer-
ing as any other. Among the first
things to be learned by one who has
the care of such a person is the cult
walton Of cheerfulness, of never looking
on the dark side of any thing, and OF
always being able to explain untoward
incidents in fortunate way. No mat
ter how irritating the sufferer may be,
it is always to be remembered that he
is a sufferer, one as painfully diseased
as if the disease were in a specific spot,
and, like fever and rash and fractures,
visible in its effects to the naked eye
Thorough neatness is another requi-
site in the nurse, the sense of smell
being more acute than ever with the
nervous, and the eye also being pleased
with cleanliness and order; and mean
while every motion of the nurse should
be as gentle and as noiseless as a cats
AeetIare among china. Absolute firm
lsSs combined with gentleness is al
Vays desirable, for the patient must
yield where it is necessary; but the
nurse, if possible, must act as if she,
and not the patient, were yielding,
although in matters not vital to safety
the idiosyncrasies, the fancies and dis
likes. of the patient are to be regarded.
Interest in the patient and sincere
piety are excellently soothing to sick
nerves; yet one must use discretion
about it, and not go so far in the ex-
preston of pity as to arouse the pa
TENTS self-pity perceptibly. The suf-
ferer, too, should always be encouraged
to expect favorable turn to illness
and a definite recovery, for the ex-
pectation aids the cure. Always hope
and never fear should be taught. So
powerful is the will that, by holding it
in play, it can even make death easier
than it otherwise might be, although
death seldom terminates nervous dis
ease. The sufferer should always be
entertained as pleasantly as possible in
any way that is not exciting, but never
should be treated to recitals of any
thing sad, the bright side of the world
being always kept in view, since dark
ness comes only too often and too
surely to the WORKOUT nerves, and the
duty of every one brought into contact
with them is to give at least no occa-
sion for gloom. 1t is, indeed, less ex-
hausting to nurse a bad case of typhoid
fever than a case of disordered nerves;
the exertion is scarcely more, and it is
over in a fixed time; but the exertiou
necessary in nursing nerves is ever
lasting and all the time, since it is
often the work of years. -Harper'S
Bazar.

y A RUSSIAN ROMANCE.


Lovers " 18th Heavy Tongues.
It was early morning in the pretty
little village of Werchobistritzkiol; and
Solovitch was but an hour high in the
glowing heavens; the dew was still
sparkling on the grass. Early as it
was, the villagers were astir. Michael
vonovitch Pandalenrikio, the village
baker, had taken down his wooden
shutters. and had given morning greet
ing to Nicholisk1izovitch Disukskikis-
koff, the grocer across the street, who
was sweeping the pavement in front OF
his little shop.
Simeonskiovitch, the butcher, and
Mandalzizziokoffski,t the milkman, were
merrily joking with old Dietwosmikis-
kafto Mediariovitch, the cobbler, be-
fore his little shop.
The door of vine-clad little cottage
opened suddenly, and a maiden clad in
white appeared and walked toward the
thick, dark, cool forest back of the viii
lage. She was electromagnetic Less
chneiffovitch, daughter OF the wealth
lest man in the village. By her side
gamboled her little white dog Fido-
velovitch. He ran barking from her
side in mad pursuit Of a golden butter
fly; returning, he jumped up before
his mistress. soiling her pretty white
gown with his wet and dirty paws.
"Down, Fidovelovitchr she said
chidingly: ''down, sir, you-ah, is it
thou, Dimitredistovelokoff Nicholaso-
novel Observation-Disclosures"
at is /. Alexievonanagdra Less
chneiffovitch, said the young man;
for it was young man who had come
evidently from the forest. .,
why art thou sad, my Dimitredis-
tovelokoffP" asked the maiden, noting
his gloomy face. '''
"Ah, electromagnetic, if could
only know that | was indeed ting
Dimitredistovelokotf," he replied sad
ly.
"What meanest thou, DimmyP" she
said tenderly.
.sHa! dost thou not know? Thy
father hast not told theeP Last night
I spoke to him about our marriage
He spurned me, and said thou vert to
wed old Observation-Disclosures, the
rich vineyard owner"
"Simoenovkolokoffs gasped
the maiden: 81 marry him? Never!
| would sooner wed with old Zokoso-
kesolsoff, the one-legged serf!'
"My darling!' cried Nicholasonoval
Volenkitkiskiovonovitch, clasping her
70 his breast: ''Comel Let us fly! My
little yacht, the white-winged Delo-
vonoskifidiuk, lies there on the
bosom of the Observation-Disclosures
Lake; let us fly to Szastoserskaiaototf,
or to beautiful Komorovogetzki, on the

"My Dimitredistovelokoff Nichclaso-

cried, sinking YEARLY into his arms,

ONLY THE BRAVE.

There once was a maid of sixteen,
Who in love had as yet never been,
Neither tinker nor tailor, cG9

Author, artist and actor,

THAT the fortunate man she would wed
Must be brave as a lion,
So she could rely on -
His courage as we'll as his head.
All soldiers she loolS'd on with scorn,
Even those who in battle were torn,
For she said they were proud

And she thought him SO brave
