ECONOMY IN UIsSiSTE;NCE.

There is an immense amount OF rot
being written and emptied upon pub
lie credulity relative to economy in
living. All sorts of people, professors
in colleges, cooks in hotels and restau-
rants, wifes and mothers, old maids
and young maids, have been descant-
ing in the public prints on economy in
living expenditures and how small
quantity Of food people can subsist on
without starving to death.
Circumstances have everything to do
with the way people subsist, be they
rich or poor. Everyone that has a
taste and appetite wants the best and
all that their incomes will procure.
Those who can afford to live sumpt-
uously, who can indulge in every good
thing the market affords, are going to
live accordingly. They will not de-
prive themselves of a single luxury or
dainty if money can buy it, and when
sitting at their bountifully-supplied ta-
BILE they never consider to what extent
their digestive machinery is to be tax
ed, what ills may follow Or what kind
of meals other people have.
And 80 it is with class of people
who live chiefly from hand to mouth.
They eat and drink what their money
will buy, and whatever their means
will secure them they indulge in, re-
gardless of demands in other direc-
tions. They are not to be blamed.
Good eating is one of the greatest en-
joyments Of life, and those who refuse
it are usually victims of some physi-
cal affiiction or vitiated tastes.
Some of those writers Oh domestic
economy would have people live on
the merest morsels and save from 50 to
100 per cent. of their incomes. Why
should people so stint themselves if
they can obtain good food and plenty
of it? We venture the assertion that
there is not one OF these writer's but
that fares sumptuously every day
lives, perhaps on the fat Of the land.
The fact is that while tastes and in
clinations and incomes may differ, peo-
pie generally know the good things of
life when they see them, an | are quite
apt to indulge in them to the extent
that their means will command

REFLECTIONS OF
A BACHELOR.

No man is fit to be lover till after
he has quit believing in love.
A woman is always extra polite to
man just before she wants to ask
favor of him.
Half the things Il woman suffer most
over not knowing would make her
nearly as miserable to know them.
After woman gets so she believes
in woman suffrage she quits sitting
down on the floor to put her stockings
on.
When man wants roast beef for
dinner and his wife wants roast NUT
ton they generally end by compromis-
ing on mutton.
No man will ever admit to woman
that any other man she knows near as
much about politics as he does him

able was that OF the measured tread of
feet rs the column proceeded down the
slope towards the bridge. It was i'm
possible, whilst travcrsing the place of
his death, not to think kindly and af-
fectionately of my poor young friend;
his body, | wei! knew, was not among
the number which were bleaching in
the rains and dews of heayen-it had
been carefully committed to the earth
beside that Of brother officer | did
not, therefore, look around under the
idea of seeing it; but 1 did look
around for the spot where he fell, and
| was grieved and disappointed that l
could not distinguish it. The lapse of
few moments, however, was sufficient
to draw off my attention to other,
though hardly less painful subjects.
We were hardly in the village; and
halt being commanded, an opportunity
was afforded of enquiring into the con-
dition Of the wounded. l failed not
to avail myself of it; but whilst the
men were busy picking up their KNAPP
sacks which in the heat of action they
had cast away, 1 stepped to the hospi-
tai and paid hasty visit to the poor
fellows who occupied it. 1t was NOR
tifying reflection, that. in spite of our
success, the total absence of all means
of conveyance, laid us under the me-
cessity of leaving many of them be-
hind nor could the non-commissioned
officers and private soldiers conceal
their chagrin on the occasion One of
these. a sergeant of my own company,
who had received ball through both
thighs, actually shed tears as he wish
ed me farewell, regretting that he had
not shared the fate of Mr. Williams. 1t
was in vain that l reminded him that
he was not singular; that Colonel
Thornton, Colonel Wood, and Major
Brown, besides others Of less note,
were doomed to be his companions in
captivity neither that consideration,
nor the assurances OF speedy eX
change, at all served to make him sat-
isfied with his destiny. Yet no appre
tensions could be more unfounded
than those of that man; for however
unlike civilized nations they may be
in other respects, in the humanity of
their conduct towards such English
soldiers as fell into their hands, the
Americans can be surpassed by no
people whatever. To this the wound
ed whom we were compelled to aban-
don tonight bore, after their release,
ample testimony; and they told a tale
which hundreds besides have corrob-
Grated.

EASE AND DISEASE.
A SHORT LESSON ON THE MEANING OF A
FAMILIAR WORD.

Disease is the opposite of case.
Webster defines disease as "lack of
ease, uneasiness, trouble, vexation, dis
quiet, It is condition due to some
arrangement of the physical organism.
A vast majority of the "dis-ease" from
which people suffer is due to impure
blood. Disease of this kind is cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilla which purifies,
enriches and vitalizes the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures scrofula,
salf rheum, pimples and all eruptions.
1t tones the stomach and creates
good appetite, and it gives vigor and
vitality to the whole body. 1t reverses
the condition Of things, giving health,
comfort and cease in place of "disease."
