It was two days after Aunt Prescilla’s fuperal, agd Sue and I were sitting together by the kitchen fire, with that hush over our spirits still which follows a death and a burial. Al the afternoon we had been busy in getting the house to rights, not meddling yet with the things which had been Zers, and- were now ours, but by dint of open windows, sunshine, and furniture dusted -and rearranged, trying to restore to the rooms that familiar look which they had lost during these weeks of anxiety and trouble. A'few days more, and wé must face a future wl}iiqh was full of terrors. Meanwhile, custom as well'as inclination:accorded a brief respite in which to think of herswho was gone, and of each other, witfx the clinging fondness of those whose lives, never before parted, were about to separate. : : ‘Sue sat on a low stool, her head against the chimney jamb. It was the chimney of AuntPrescilla’s youth; she never would alter it—one of the wide old-fashioned kind, with pothooks, and blazing logs, and a bakeoven at one side. The soot-blackened bricks and faint red glow! made a background for my sister’s head, with its great twist of fair hair, and’ lillylike slender throat. Sue is very pret--Iy, prettier than anybody I ever saw. I recollected a picture as I looked. at. her—a picture of Cinderella sitting in just such an attitude by the chimneyside. She was equally picturesque at that moment; so far as looks go, equally worthy of a prinee; but, alas! no fairy godmother was likely to emerge from the appleroom for her benefit. Aunt Pris,, who in a smad way had enacted that part toward us,was gone, and her big rocking-chair, which we had no heart to sit in, swung empty in its accustomed place, type of a like emptiness which we were conscious of in other things, and would feel for a long time to come. e :

Neither of us spoke for a while. We were tired and spiritless, and John Slade was coming presently to talk bvelzithings in general, so wesaved our words. : 3

Dr. Slade—John—was Sue’s lover. Their poor little engagement had been formed two years, How many years it was likely to last nobody could guess; but they held on to it bravely, and ‘Were content to wait. Pretty soon, as we sat waiting, his step sounded without on the gravel, and with a little tap—courteous but unnecessary, for the door was never locked—he entered, gave Sue a gentle kiss, me another, and sat down between us in aunty’s rocking-chair. It wasa comfort to have him do that. The house seemed less forlorn at once.

“Well, children, how has the day gone?” he asked. “Pretty well,” replied Sue. “We have been busy, and aretired to-night I think. I’'m glad you are come, John, dear. We were gettiug lonely and dismal, Cree and 1.” : 2

Lucretia is my name; but' Aunt Prescilla and Sue always called me “Cree.”

John adjusted a stick on the embers, and with one daring poke sent a tongue of bright flame upward before he answered. Then he took Sue’s hand in his broad palm, and patting it gently said, “Now let’s talk over matters. We ought to decide what we are todo, we three.” o :

That “three” was very comforting to me, but John always is a comfort. He was “made 80,” Aunt Pris. said. And he certainly carries out the purpose of his ereation.

~ “Did your aunt leave any will ?” he went on.

“Only this;” and broyght from between the leaves of the -big Bible, where we had found it, a half sheet of note paper, on which dear aunty had stated, in her own simple form, that she left all she had to be equally divided between her nieces, Susan and Lucretia Pendexter, Squire Packard’s name and Sarah Brackett’s, our old washer-woman, were written below as witnesses, ‘ : “Very well,” said John. “That’s good in law, I faney; or if not, you are the nearest relations, and it’s yours, anyway. What property did your aunt own besides this house ?” : 4

*“She had an annuity of two hundred and fifty a year, and fifty dollars more from some turnpike stock. That’s all, except the house and furniture, and there is a mortgage- of three hundred dollars on that. And Squire Packard holds it. The annuity stops now, doesn’t i ?” John looked as though he wanted to whistle, but refrained. = = ' “Your aunt was a clever manager,”he said—*a capital manager. She made a very little go g great way,didn’t she? 1 don’t know any one else who ‘could live so nicely on three hundred. a year, with mortgage interest taken out. You have always seemed cozy ‘and comfortable.” i e - “We always have been. But, we had the. garden, you know, and the cow; that gave us two-thirds of our living. Aunty was a wonderful housekeeper: though, - Isn’tit a great deal ﬁeh'eapeé“ to feed women than men? She always sald go” - o S , “I suppose it is. Men are carnivorous. A diet of tea and.vegtabies., don’t suit them very well; they are apt :'togumblo;ifot something more solid. Well, my dear girls, our summing *lr isn’t very satisfactory. Even i b ;};&@ ww:ﬁme,woﬁiﬁn‘s Aive on fifty dollars 4 year.” ~_“No. And I've been thinking what, 1 might 1 W‘ﬁj‘” et school, pere ’WK gl ’f@g@ﬁ@ Divete et anithlas tho Loant ad “{;**r,,ﬁ:%fw : '"V:‘,) ,aa* Axi‘;gfm't bt i oiss ?5 e ~P~“’l:" fﬁ:{« .ym ‘- .av.,4~\'- v"’ e gt ot daßionte estideaan il b oy

A thousand dollars, now! Any rich man would consider it a mere bagatelle in his expenses; but if I could command the sum, it would make us three happy for life.” - “How do you mean? What would you do with a thousand: dollars if you had it, John ?” ;

“I’ll tell you. Langworthy is going to s(()ell his practice.” = : 1o e h I”; z 4

“It is a large practice, for the country, you know. - It brings him in six or eight hundred a year—sometimes ~more. He has a splendid chance to go into partnership .with his brother out Wwest somewhere, and he’ll sell for a ®housand.” \ ; - “But, John, some people like you a great deal better than they do Dr. Langworthy.” P ~_“Yes, some people do. But the ques“tion is, will they like me better than the other man who buys Dr. Lang- - worthy out? . If I were that man, I should command both practices. It is -a chance, don’t you see. But a new 'man coming in has his chance to cut 'me out.” |, “I see. 'What can be done?” “Nothing,” with a rueful laugh. “That’s the worst of it. I can only keep on- and hope for ti%\g;st. But it is. hard, when with this~miserable tßousand dollars I could double my chances and make a nice home for you two. Sue darling, don’t cry.” She had laid her cheek down on his arm, but she wasn’t ¢rying, only looking sadly into the fire. | - “If we sold everything, all this which aunty left us—the home, every thing, couldn’t we get the thousand dollars ?” I asked desperately. : : John shook his head. “I couldn’t let you do that, Cree, in any casé.— You’ll want. your share some day for yourself; it musn’t go into buying a practice for me. But; apart from that, houses sell so badly now that this wouldn’t realize much over the value of the mortgage at a forced sale. And the ‘furniture, though worth a good deal to keep,would go for nothing atan auction. That plan wouldn’t do at all for any of us.” “Still, there’s no harm in thinking about it, and seeing what we have,and what it’s worth,” I urged,loath to give up any ghost of a chance. “We may do that, mayn’st we John ?”

-“Of course, That is a thing you must do sooner or later. Look over the house, and make a list carefully, a?l we’ll consult and fix on appropriate values. Don’t bein a hurry about it, though, Next week is time enough, and'l know you need rest.”

“Rest is the very thing 1 don’t need and can’t take,” I cried, impetuously. “Something to fill up the long days and keep us from thinking and getting blue is what we want. “We’ll make the list to-morrow, John.” ¢« . . A little more talk and he rose to his festtogo, . 7

“Did you stop at -the post-office, John ?” :

“Y’es, Sue. There was nothing for you.’ “Not even the Intelligencer?’ asked Sue, languidly. “I forgot to tell you. There has been a great fire in New York, and the Intelligencer is burned out. Abner brought the news over; it was telegraphed to the junction. They say the buil,din’% is a total loss, so I suppose there wont be any publication for a while—some days, at least.” , . “Poor aunty! how sorry she would be!” sighed Sue. “Aunty took the paper ever since it began, forty-five years ago.. She never missed a number.— There it all 18, up gtairs—stacks and stacks of it, She was so proud of her file. It’s no use at all now, I suppose, is it, John ?” : :

“The ragman will give a penny a pound for it,” I suggested; “and that’s gotpebhing” oo E | . “We'll weigh the lot one of these days, and see what we can 'realize,” remarked John. “Good-night, children,” i

It was a ghostly task which’ we set out to do next day. The past itself, the faint, fragmentary past, seems to be wrapped up and inclosed in those bundles of time-worn articles with which elderly people encumber their store-rooms and closet shelves.- Some air of antiquity exhales as you open them, and, mingling with our modern air, produces an iquression half laughable, half sad. Aunt Pmscilla had been a born collector. She loved old things because they were old, apart from use or value, and instinct and principle combined had kept her from ever throwing away anything in her life. Had she been richer, her garret would indeed have proved a mine of treasures for the bric-a-brac hunters. No tin peddler would have laid eyes on her andirons; her claw-legged tables would have held their place, her -Spode and Worcester wares sat undissurbed upon their upper shelf, century in and out. - But Aunt Prescilla had no claw-legged tables, no brasses or old china. Instead, we found vast stores. of odds and ends—bits of byegone dresses, rolls of faded chinz, b Ders yellow with ge, pamphiets which o mgxmh d ever_ read or would read, old books, coverless or with pages tomWQﬂn ty iron,screws ‘without head, and nails without points, ‘The furniture, though neat and whole, 3 *‘H .’ ‘ﬁﬁ‘ﬁr '%?;& ~} ( ,gc , Do »?‘“*%m“*"%*“%* S § e thels mhacs or tha ain ee S Mﬁ?

the huge newgpaper heap which I had appraised at a penny a pound—these seemed the only suitable things; and we looked comi ally and grimly into each other’s faccs as we set them all - “I wish it were possible to eat Intelligencers,” said 1, - - “They say newspapers make excellent counterpanes,” said Sue—“warmer than blankets” = . _ “Yes, and ‘theysay’ that atea-spoon-ful of Sﬁ\tf:big’s Extract gives as much nourishment as ever so much roast beef,” retoi\ted I. “But it seemed to me, when I'tried it, that except for a taste in my ‘mouth as if I had swallowed an old shoe.. I shouldn’t have klx_;own «that I had eaten. anything at a .1, ey

John came as usual in the evening. “Here’s enterprise!” he called out as he came in. o

- “What is enterprise ?” : *“The Intelligencer! Behold it,large as life, and looking just as usual, only forty-eight hours after the fire! That’s what I call pluck.”

“Isn’t it?” eried Sueladmiringly, as she drew the paper from the wrapper, and held it to the blaze that she might see the familiar page. Meanwhile I took from my pocket cur melancholy little list.

“You were right. John. Sue and I have searched the house over to-day, and this is all there is of any value—the furniture; a little silver, and those wretched Intelligencers.” :

I was interrupted by a startled cry. Sue was gazing at the newspaper in her hand with large, dilated eyes. Her cheeks had flushed pink. “What? What is the matter ?” both of us cried in a breath. .

. “Just read this! Oh, John, I don’t believe it! Read.” :

- Sue thrust the paper into-his hand, and he read: 2

. “s,ooo.—The office file of our paper having been destroyed by fire on the evening of the 13th inst., we offer the above price for a complete and perfect set of the Intelligeicer from its number, March 4, 1830, to present date.— Any person able to supply a set as stated will please communicate with the publisher. P.O. Box 2351, New York,”

“A thousand dollars! Oh, Sue!' oh, John! what a piece of good fortune! Dear aunty—think of her file turning out such a treasure! It.is too wonderful to be true. I feel as though it were a dream;” and I danced up and down the floor. = ST

But John and Sué were equally excited. ¢

“Only,” premised the former, “we mustn’t forget that some one else may have a file of the paper, and get ahead of us.” .

This wet blanket of a suggestion kept me awake all night. My thoughts kept lying to New York, antieipating the letter which we had written, and John posted overnight for the early stage. If it should get lost in the mails! When morning came, I was too weary and too fidgety to employ myself in any way. But about noon John walked in, with comfort in his eyes.' et

“Why, John, how funny to see you here at this hour! Why do you look 80?7 You haven’t héard yet; you can’t, for the letter is only about half-way there.” .

“But I have heard! I got ahead of theletter—drove over to the junction, telegraphed, paid for the answer, and here it is.” :

Oh, Blessed John! This was the tellignitie e e e

“Send file at once. Check ready to your order. P. HALLIDAY.” How we cried and laughed and kissed each other! How much that message meant! To John and Sue, the satisfaction of their love, life spent together, the fruition of deferred hopes; to me, the lifting of a heavy weight, home, security, the shelter of my sister’s wing, the added riches of a brother who was brotherly in every deed. All this for a thousand dollars! Oh, how much money can do sometimes! and at other times, how little! We had grown somewhat calmer, though Sue still 'kept her sweet wet face hidden' on John’s shoulder, and quivered and sobbed now and then, when I turned emotion into a new channel by seizing a tumbler of water and proposing this toast, “To the memory of the late S. F. Morse.” A

John seized another, and added, “the Intelligencer—may it rise like a pheenix from its ashes!” I leave you to guessif we did not drink this heartily,—Harper’s Bazar.

See what the Clergy say:

Rev R.H. Craig, Princeton, N. J. says: TLast summer when I was in Canada, I caught a bad cold in my throat. It became so bad ‘that often in the middle of my sermon my throat and tongue would become so dry I could hardly speak.

MISS WING’S THANKSGIVING.

Miss Wing’s kitchen was prim and clean as’ broom, soap and soft water could make it; and Miss Wing sat in it, rigid and warlike, before the blackest of stoves, her feet planted firmly on a square of rag carpet, B ; . There was never an atom of dust, or even a skimmer or tin spoon out of place in the kitchen; for, in all the wide world, there was no one or thing that dared to enter without special permission, excepting a few stray sunbeams, and even they crept in and shimmered on‘the geraniums in the window as if they hardly dared. It was Thanksgiving eve, and the faint odorof cranberry tartsand pumpkin pies crep; out from the pantry, and gave a sort of festal fragrance to the room, which might have lead a stranger to believe that Miss Wing meant to celebrate, and had been preparing for guests. It would have been difficult for her to tell ycu fer whom, however, as all her nearest relations lay up on the hillside, and, driven by her own stern will, “lovers and friends had departed fiar from her.” 3 i _The only person living who was at all connected with her was a poor, country minister, with a John Regers sort of a family, whose life was a constant struggle to cover the body and satisfy the hunger of the ten healthy, growing children. We cannot wonder that he sometimes thought of Cousin Selina’s age and nice little forture, that “would go to some one.” - Neither can we wonder that, in a f{it of desperation, he wrote and asked her to take his oldest daughter for the winter.

- “Let the girl come,” said Miss Wing. “I'll make her useful.” So u:eful, indeed, that Milly Thorne never went to bed at night without seeing ropes of dried apples that she had strung, and acres of tallow candles she had dipped, swimming before her tired eyes. But all things have an end, and patient little Milly ‘Thorne, worn out with hard work, and despairing of ever finding in Miss Wing that proverbial soft spot which is in every one’s heart, packed her little sachel and went back over the hills to the crowded house, the tired mother and the many children, where there was dearth of everything but love. So Miss Wing threw away a golden opportunity of erowning her old age with love and happi: ness. ! :

I think it must have been from force of habit that she had cooked her most golden pumpkin and stuffed her fattest pullet for'asolitary Thanksgiving€east. For it was very certain she would bid no one to share it with her, and still more certain that no one would come unbidden. For she seét her face like flint against visits from grown-up people, and with every child in the village she was at open war. The meeker ones among them would run if they saw her coming, and not even the brav: est dare ask her for a flower, while the lawless and ungoverned ones invented ways to torment her, .

One little colored boy, especially, whom the children.called -Caterpillar, was the plague of her existence. His chief amusement was to perch himself upon her white gate post, his rags fluttering in the wind,~the battered crown of an old straw hat clinging to his woolly head, and, playing an imaginary banjo, sing to an admiting dusky audience collected on the sidewalk : *Ten little darkies stannin’ in aline.” At first Miss Wing affected a calm indifference which she was far from feeling. But when it grew to be a regular entertainment it was more than she could endure, So.one ‘day, when Caterpillar had just commenced his second gtanza— ’ s inn St *‘Nine little darkies sitting on the gate, One ob ’em tumbled off an’ dar was only eight—" she made an unexpected assault upon him with a broomstick, tumbled him over on the sidewalk and summarily dispersedhisaudience. Nothing daunted, however, Caterpillar picked himself up, shook the hostile dust from his garments, and, retreating to a distance, sang: :

Ole Mam Wing, Ugly ole ting; Crack you ober de skull boys, Jusl coz you wanter sing,

This act of Miss Wing’s was taken as an open declaration of war, and peace and quietness were over for her, The most mysterious things happened to her garden. Tomatoes, that hung ripe and red upon their stems at night, vanished before morning. -The onion-bed looked as if an army had marched through it. Melons and green eorn walked away together, and the grape vines hung their heads as if mourning the treasures of which they were despoiled.

' But those were not the greatest annoyances. KEvery night her door-bell rang, moved by some mysterious power. IL wasof no use to wait in the hall, open the door suddenly and drive out. There was never anything to be captured but a dirty piece of cord. One never-to-be-forgotten morning Miss Wing rose from her couch, prepared her solitary breakfast, and called the cat to get hers. For the first time in eight years Tabby failed to answer. She opened the wood-house door in fear and trembling. ‘There, suspended from a beam by one of Miss Wing’s own apron-strings, was poor Tabby, stone dead, : » Pinned in the string was a dirty scrap of paper, on which was written: “Caterpilers compelmunts.” - e For the first time in a year Miss Wing sat down in a low chair, threw her: apron over her head, and wept. Willingly now would she have held: out the white flag if it would only bring back poor puss. o - Strange to say, from that very day there was a cessation of hostilities. Whether it was because they were exhausted and needed rest to think of something new, or whether there was ' really nothing left for them to do, Miss - Wing could not tell. As days passed on and no fresh mischier was done, she gradually gave up looking for it, ‘and possessed her soul in ;%&igtneas,; ~And now as she sat grim and solitary by her kitehen fire, except for a vague feeling of bitterness as she looked at Tabby's empty corner, she had almost. forgotten Caterpillar, It was quiet a shock to her m%thmmwh 5 et doonbll was vaog with » iolens, PR os T o R ~ ¢That imp is a%ghuiw’hm again,” | 333 exclaimed.

“He mos’ gone, miss. He done got gallopin’ consumption” -~ === “Pity he hadn’t gatoped off somewhere before he killed my cat. I'd like to trounce him,” said she. . The man looked at her a moment, and then said solemnly: “Missy, dat chile done got somefin bn he mind. He axes fur youde whole bressed time; and, ifjyou’s a Christian woman, you’ll go dar. Good night, Missy.” - Miss Wing shut the door, and sat down again with her knitting. But somehow the room was not as pleasant as before. The fire didn’t burn as clearly, and her chair seemed very uncomfortable. = She couldn’t compose her mind. ' Several ‘very uncomfortable verses of scripture would force themselves upon her.. In the little church over the way she could hear them practicing their anthems for the morrow. Clearly and distinetly out on the frosty air their voices rang. Over and over she heard them sing:

: Peace on earth, good-will tomen. . ~ - She knew very well that she felt neither peace nor good-will. . “I wish they’d stop their noise,” she said, as she fidgeted from her chair to the window and back again to the stove. Still they sang on, louder and clearer, stirring Miss Wing up in an unaccountable manner. Her better nature was: having a terrible struggle with the other, and, being much smaller, was in great danger of defeat. =~ = - At last she started from her chair, snatched her hood and blanket shawl, and started towards the-door. Little better nature had conquered. Miss Wing-hardly knew herself asshe stepped oat into the frosty night. It was many years since she had visited the sick or gone olt upon an errand of mercy. Such ¢harity as she had given bad been like throwing a bone to a dog. When she reached the tumble-down house where Caterpillar’s mother lived and knocked at the door, she heard a shrill voice pipeup. - e “Dar she am, mamma; mos’ know dat’s her.” There was a hurrying over the floor, and a noise as if stray articles were being hastily shuffled into their places. Then the door opened and Miss Wing walked in. - G “Bless us and save us!” said she. Bolstered-up on a narrow ‘cot was a -pitiful little heap of skin'and bones, all that was left of the misehievous Caterpillar, He smiled feebly when he saw Miss Wing, and held out a skinny little hand.: oo s o e e

“Mos’ awful sorry done kill your cat. "Pears like I couldn’t die ’out I tole you.” e St i

“Never mind the cat. I s’pose her time had come. Whay ails you, any how? -Be yowhungry? . i .o He shook his head. : b “Nebber any morg,” he said; “ got past dat.” .. - Gl : N There was a tugging at Miss Selina’s rusty old heart strings, and a suspicious moisture about her spectacles; 80, to hide these unaccustomed emotions, she turned fiercely to the motherand demanded: s ne

“ Hain’t you got no better bed nor pillow for that sick child?” = = ~ The woman began a long story which>Miss Wing cut short by marching out of the'door. .. ..~ - ; “There, she’s mad!” exclaimed shesw

“Nebber.mind, mammy,” sighed Caterpillar, turning wearily on his pillow, “I feels betfer.” G e

But Miss Wing was far from being angry as she hurried down the street, and so Caterpillar’s mother soon dig~ covered, as the door opened again, an%*i a man carrying a soft, single bed entered, closely followed by Miss Wing;herself Leavily laden. ; LRy “ 81t down and take that ch#d in_ your lap,” said she in a peremptory manner. T e So.tl

The woman meekly obeyed, and seated herself, with the wondering boy in her arms. I don’t think Milly Thorne would have believed her eyes if she could have seen her cousin Selina then. She flew around her room with marvelous : celerity,: beating up the bed, spreading over lavender: scented sheets and Boft blankets, and finishing off with a plump pillow, and a white spread quilted by her own ‘'hands. - Caterpillar’s delight was unbounded when, after being clad in a flannel” night-gown, he was placed in the soft, fragrant -bed. SDo ey “Like oranges, bub?” asked Miss Wing, ¢s she plunged her hand into her pockes. = Now Caterpillar and oranges had long been strangers, so his eyes glistened with pleasure when a huge yellow one came tumbling on his bed. : : i

“May as well have this, too; ’tain’t no use to me,” said she, tossing a tinted picture card on the bed. Then, turning to the mother, she said : “Them sheets and things is to make the child comfortable as. long as' he lives; you’ll findjgood vittles in the basket.” And out she bounced, leaving Caterpillar and his motlier in- a’ confused state of gratitudeand bewilderment. The angel of merey had touched Miss Wing's stony heart, and taught her the infinite. pleasure of giving.— And as some streams, when releagsed from the icy fetfers that have bound } them, rush on with terrible force,overwhelming and submerging, so Miss - Wing, suddenly set free from life-long bondage, yearned to do more for some ‘oneelse. So she sent a telegram early next morning, which dropped like a bomb-shell into the little parsonage at ‘Hopewell. N “Bring all the children to dinner; I'll pay the expenses.” =~ N There had been a great deal of com- } motion in that little house before, but never anything equal to that which: followed the receipt of this telegram. Milly’ heart mi:gavez' her as she washed ,fa‘oe‘: and tied on hoodsand tippets, for she felt that nothing less than a. miracle could change cousin Selina. But after a grand slegh-ride-they found her ready to receive them,dress‘ed in her best black silk and snowy apron—the.grim look in her face very much softened. =~ . .

Rl " i Means by Which It May Be Averted. Ncw Haven Register. M At the meeting of the Board of - Health last evening, Health-Officer Lindsley, in accordance with the suggestions of the Board abt a previous meeting, submitted the following paper. It will be printed in phamplet form for general circulation: |

“Diphtheria is both: a contagious and an infectious disease; it is, moreover; pre-eminently one of the class of filth diseases,~- that is, it occurs most frequently and in the most malignant: and fatal form where dampness and dirt do most prevail. The means of protection, therefore, obviously lie in. avoidance of exposure to its presence and in the most scrupulous atténtion to cleanliness. Absolute isolation of the sick, the most rigid purity of surroundings, aided by disinfection when required, would probably exterminate the disease. The: veteran sanitarian, Dr. E. M. Snow, of Providence, says that where there is abundan&:unlight, dryness, cleanness and pure air, diphtheria cannot prevail. The same conditions will protect almost as effectually from most other dangerous diseases. Such being the truth, neither individuals ner. communities can afford to ignore the fact that they are in a great degree responsible for their ' own health. s

“When a case occurs in any family, the siek person .should be placed in a room apart firom the other inmates of ° the house, and should be nursed as far as possible by one person only. The. sick chamiber should be well warmed, well aired, and expesed to sunlight; its furniture should be such as can be cleaned without injury, and all super- - fluous things as window and table drapery, woolen carpets, and the like should be removed. The family should not mingle with other people. Visitors should be warned of the presence of a contagious disease, and children should not be admitted to the house.

. “All clothing removed from the patient should be at once placed in boiling water; instead of handkerchiets, soft- pieces of linen or cotton cloth should be used and immediately burned. Disinfectants should be placed in all the vessels which receive the expectoration or other discharges from the patient. Disinfectants should al--80 be freely used in the sick room.— Those which destroy bad odors without causing others are best, such as solutions of nitrate of lead and chlo-ride-ofzine. - oL

“The sick person should not mingle with others until fully recovered, and in cases of scarlet fever until all roughness of the skin, due to-the disease, - has disappeared, because the exfoliated skin is especially infectious. “The disinfection of the sick room should be thorough, The wallsshouldbe dry-rubbed and the clothes used burned without shaking, the ceiling should be scraped and lime-washed.— The floor and wood work should be - washed with soap and water. The clothing or bedding used by the patient or nurse should be purified by boiling for at least one hour, and should always be cleaned by: them- . selves; and under no circumstances: ! should they be sent to a laundry. In case. of death, the body should be placed as early as practicablein the coffin, with disinfectants, and the coffin tightly closed. B ‘ “Children eertainly, and in_ most cases adults, should not attend a funeral from a house in which a death from diphtheria or scarlet fever has occurred. But with suitable precau-. tions it is not necessary that the burial should be strictly private, provided that the corpse be not in any way exposedy oot B

“Becauseé children are especially liable to take and to spread these diseases,. and because schools afford a free opportunity for this, every child from any family in which a case of either of these diseases has occurred should be excluded from school, and be re-admitted not sooner than one month from the beginning of the disease, except upon the certiﬁcab?wof zis)ome competent physician that it 'will esafe.. o T b s

| . “All the above preeautions concern the dangers of contagion. - But the continued prevalence of these diseases in any community is probable evidence of insanitary surroundings and of sources of sickness partially or wholly preventable. The most exemplary housewife, whose home is the very model of neatness and order, may ‘have all her efforts defeated in a sani- | tary sense by a defective sink-trap, or; a leaky drain-pipe, or an overflowing cess-pool, or an undrained eellar, or even by a heap of decaying garbagein her neighbor’s yard. . . ‘- “Therefore, look well to the surroundings. = Abolish filth, remove .dampness and all sources of foul air, especially from living and sleeping rooms. Disinfect thoroughly all sus--pected places in yards and neglected corners. : “The following disinfectant is both ‘very: cheap and efficient: Take of copperas (sulphate of iron) five pounds | and dissolve in three gallons of water.” el e True Merit Will Win, - s A few years since the pl"gprietors of Dr. Morris’ Syrup of Tar, Wild Cherry ‘and Horehound introduced it here.
