This trespasser did not c intent it elf with the public "nighwav, bnt invaflel the private houses without the slightest compunction. It roared down the kitchen chimneys, rushed tbro.ieh the public rooms, and even forced Knit into the chambers of the sick, making them shiver in their beds. It was so utterly destitute of good breeding, or the slightest sense of honor, that not a corner escaped its scrutiny ; and having no respect for persons, it burst into the Pogtsnsnte! parlor, driving the smoke impertinently into the eyes of his wife, on purpose to make her sneeze. The former august personage stood with his back to the tire, appearing to be in perfect luxury of mind, body and estate. The flame blazed In steady defiance of the powers cf the air, shedding a ruddy glow on the carpet, curtains and carefully polished mahogany also on the features of an old man standing behind the table who returned the Postmaster's smile unenviously. although it was rare he did not know cold, hu ne'er .and dl?omfort. 44 You must see, Tom," urged the former, " that the offer is a capital one for ytm. The child will be boarded, clothed ard educated in a very different way from what she now is. You have not the means to provide for her. I do not understand how you can hesitate for a moment." " Thank you humbly, sir," said the old man. and in truth the reverence and humility of his manner enuM not have been greater to the Queen herself. " Thank you very humbly." But the tone expressed something besides deference. The argument was clear and unanswerable, yet he was not con- ! vinced. He turned in dull perplexity to the Postmistress "Remember," she said, kindly guessing his thought, 44 it will not be parting from the child ; you shall come as often as you like to see her every day if you fancy. And what a pleasure it will be to watch her growing up, so well cared lor and happy " Persuasion had more power than reasoning; yet neither was strong enough to convince him. There remained some hidden objection, which words would not, or c uld not, reveal. His helpless silence roile d the Postmaster's impatience. St," said I he old man at length, " I'll speak to Dot." " Suppose," suggested the Postmistress, "we leave the matter for the present. Think of it to-night, and let us know tomorrow. There is no need to hurry yourself in deciding " Tomassented graeefullj, and with a profound obeisance left the room. Once out in the open air the wind met him face to face, and shook and buffeted him until he thought he had never known how threadbare and scanty his coat really was. He wa feiirn to draw it closely around him, to prevent the blast penetrating to his very heart, thereby proving itseif to i be net merely unscrupulous, but unfeeling. . Tli 1 struggle with the nnseen enemy was desperate, but not so fierce or violent as the conflict within, in the heat of vhich the chills of the outer world were forgotten. Fortune had not bestowed upon Tom a brilliant career, nor were his circumstances the most enviable. To beggary was added neglect and ill-usage, to these were united the suffering of bodily de frmity ; and the sum total of miiery produced rose to a fearful amount, now he contrived to scramble from boyhood to manhood, heaven knows if, indeed, a crea ure may be dignified by the name of man, who can only be so called m the sense of his being a few degrees higher than the beasts of the field, and many lower than the an eels. Yet this poor soul was not wi'hout his ambition. Hia hight -t aim had been to attain the rank of cobbler; he could conceive no greater happiness ; and his desire was fulfilled. In th service of a harh, parsimonious mastor, in a dark bck room, he cobbled, and was content ; but hst was doomed to lose even this gratification. His eyesight gralually failed, and he was compelled to give up work. He yielded not only without a murmur, but with cheerfulness, bein.' accustomed to receive thankfully, but to ask nothing. A few mall shopkeepers, out of compassion, employed him on errands, anl by this means he picked up a liftHhood. In such circumstances it is diflB -ult to conceive any room for happiness any loop-hole through which hope, comfort, or joy could enter The cripple seemed to have no heritage in the delights of a beautiful world. Yet to the very lowest there is always a heaven at hand. One bitter night he waa returning home. Aa he passed under an archway he saw a child seited upon a step, her eyes closer, her face and hands blue with cold. He b'-nt over her. For the first time in his life he recognized a link between himself and a fellow -creature. She was also cold, poor and lonely. They were equnlly miserable. Seized by a sudden impune he lifted her in his arms and carried her t h rough the streets to his wretched garret. Then taking off his coat he wrapped her in it, and c-mmenced rubbing the iry hands and feet. After some time the child openei her eyes, and from that mcment the strong bond between them waa sealed fj rever. She never left him. He soon lavished upon her all the devotion of an undying nature. In return, the poor little heathen, who had never entered a church iu her life, thought nothing on earth so worh:pful as Tom, and adored no other Deity. A new life had dawned upon them both, a great mine of wealth had been opened. They were no longer poor, lonely, desolate. Call it infatuation, or what you will, it was a wonderful power which could thus transform want into plenty, cold into warmth, comfortleasness into luxury one ot those few inexplicable pothers which combat and conquer Death.

VOLUME XV. It can now be understood what was the old man' despair when the Postmistress serf f-r him and proposed to adopt the child. She had taken a fancv to the little thing, and having learnt the destitute condition in which the two lived, never doubted her charitable offer would be ac rented. The old man could not. reJMce. He could only realize the one miserable fact she must go. He hastened home verv deiected. and when in sight of the bouse, 'thought it had never looked so noor. The roof was broken in several places and slates wanting. The window, in wh'ch a faint lisrht glimmered, was patched with paper, the walls were dis colored with the damp, and the door was low. As he groped bis way up the rickety stairs, he s'ghed involuntarily : Oh, Dot, Dot, I'd like to take all the warmth ind shine out of that nouse De fore I ever tell of it to vou f On entering he peered thronirh the darkness for the one object which made the room litrht to him. The child knelt close to he fire, sewing some coarse par ment. Tier gentle, qu'et face, with the short brown hair brushed smoothly off it, possessed all the thought, power and pur pose of womanhood. Her eyes sparkled with pie ire on seeing the old man, but she greeted him with a comic pretence of ansrer. "I was hoping," she said, with dignity, "it wasn't vou I thought you'd have staved outside a'l night rather than come in "and look me in the fsce. Perhap you've forgotten what I told you yesterdv " Tom hunr his head with a happy consciousness of gnilt. and could not restrain a chuckle of enjoyment. " No,'' he said, meeklv ; " I remember. It was not to be late aeain." "Tbe very words," replied Dot, sternly. " And vet here vou are. What did you think I'd do ? Weren't you frightened of ; me r ' ' No," sa;d the other, submissively. I " Well. I wonder you weren't," she continued, with cruel determination ; " I've been thinking, and have settled what to do. First, I hit upon no fire, but that's too common to be any punishment at all. And then I said no sapper, but that wasn't hard enough. So now I have itdry bread, and nothing to eat with it. I've put the beer, butter and bacon into the press." " At thi3, unable to keep up her part any longer, she looked at him, and they both laughed gaily. The fact was, the three last-mentioned articles were dainties never 6een in poor Tom's cupboard from year's end to year's end. Enough was truly a feast to them, and one of very rare occurrence. This grand stretch of imagination fully supplied the absence of tkese luxuries. Tom was enchanted. " I don't wrvider ," continued she. grawly, 41 you think the supper bare. 15ut my mind's made up, and however much you beg, I'm not going to give in." There was no doubt the table was bare. The assortment of giass and china was anything but magnificent. It consisted of one cracked jng, one tumbler, two saucers, and a clumsy pocket-knife, rather the worse for wear. Nor was the palate tempted by much variety. In solids they had the ehoice between two things bread or nothing and in liquids, wafcer or nothing. The old man's face clouded. All his former misery returned, and his mirths was gone. Dot observed the change. "I see," she said, quietly, "you're discontented, and I'm glad. It's well you should feel uncomfortable for a little just what I want." They seated themselves, but he could not take a mouthful. His eyes were fixed on the child with a long devouring gaze. She, indeed, was his sustenance and refreshment. How could he live without her? " Dot," he whispered, with a sudden effort, "don't everything look poor? Wouldn't the floor be warmer to tread if it had a carpet? and the room feel leis cold if the grate held all the coals it could hold? and wouldn't a curtain at the window help to keep out the wind? Say, don't you feel it poor?" She opened her eyes in silent astonishment and looked around ner. After a few minutes' scrutiny, " I should say," ehe replied, "there am't no doubt you're the f-leasantest thing in the room to look at." And in truth that was not saying much. "Tell me," repealed Tom, anxiously, "is it poor, very poor?" The child not'ded assent. " Ah I" he aighed, "I knew it ;" then added, gently, "How would you like to be always warm and well fed to have everything soft underfoot, and no wind to keep you awake at night ? Could you fancy it for a moment ?" She shook her head. No, she could not. "Shut your eyes," aaid the old man, tremblingly, " and try. I skall describe it to you a well as I can." She obeyed, and he laid the picture before her in as bright colors as he could muster. When complete, he disclosed the Postmistress' kind proposal. "My darling," he ialtered, when he had scrupulously aatistied his conscience, "you did'nt guess I was bringing such good news with me, did you ? Can you believe you have only one more night to spend in .his poor place only one more night to be miserable." Dot was silent for some time. "Strange," she said, musingly, but there she paused. "Child," said ;ae old man, "I'll go with you to the dooi to-morrow, but I'll not go in. I couldn't bear that. I couldn't stand seeing your face when you learn for the first time what a poor little beggar you've been all these years, unbeknown to you. I'll wait outside, and you'll come down and say good-bye before I go altogether. Don't put on any finery they'll give to you. I'm far too wretched a creature not to lite that frock beat. I'll not keep you a minute. Do you understand ?" Dot nodded. It was difficult to guet a what was phasing through her mind. " Now," said he, tenderly, "go to bed. The time will pass quicker aleepmg than any other way." She obeyed ; but before lying down, drew near the old man and threw her arms round him without a word. It was impossible to discover what lay hehiud those sober bro n eyes. Tom stationed himeelt beside her till she fell asleep. The fire died out, but the moonlight streaming through the email window shone upon his motionless form in the small place. Xijjht passed, and th gray dawn appeared, jet he never Moved, nor closed hi- eyes. He could not bring himself to leave her. V hen she awoke, his face waa the first sight that greeted her " I)t ar, he said, cheerily, " only a few hours now Aren t you very happy F" The'r rCATty morning meal, consisting of the remains of last night's supper, waa taken in ftilence. When finished, Dot put on her shawl and arranged hr shabby, threadbare garment to the best advantage. Tom watched her without a word. The two then descended the stair into the street. Suddenly he turned, and, pointing to the house, whispered to her : " Don't it seem impossible, now, you could have be?n happy in auch a place? and strange that you d dn't know you were miserable there till laat night?" When they reached the Postmaster's house she left him. He followed her eagerly with his eyes till the door waa closed. " I shouldn't wonder," he muttered, aa he paced up and down, " if she were to forget me after all ; it would be only natural, wouldn't it?" and he appealed to him self as to a second person. Receiving no

reply, he continued : " It would be very wrong if she didn't like what's warm bet ter than what's cold, and what's beautiful better than what's ugly ! Very bad taste ! I couldn't grudge it to her, could I V" By this time he was again in front of the house. He stopped involuntarily, and closing his eyes, stretched out his hands toward it, saying : " God bles little Dot, always." When be looked up she stood by his side, and the door was shut. TJe bent over her with infinite tendernfss. " My darling," he said, "I'll not keep yon. Say one good bve, and then go." But the child had slipped her hand into his. " Just a little way up the street," she said. " No, really !" exclaimed he, delighted. They reached the corner, and he turned. " A few s'eps further," persisted she. " No, really !" repeated the other, astonished. 11 1 want," she said, as they drew near the house, "just, to go up and give a lat look ; do you mind ?" They mounted the stair and he lingered at the door. " Why should you ?" he urged, sorrowfully. "Wouldn't it be better to say good-bye here ?" She pushed gently past him and entered. "Yes," said he, asdly watching her face: " you did'nt know till now how wretched it was, did you?" Dot turned to him and hung her head without speakine. There was evidently something she wished but was ashamed to say. " Dad," she whisperd at length, "there's no help for it. I was born a miserable beirear, and I must remain ao, please I'll stay." He pointed silently to the few ashes in the grate and the broken loaf on the table. She understood. " No," she pleaded, gently, M I haven't forgotten, but I'd rather be cold and hungryand stay." Receiving uo answer, she knelt bedde his chair and put her arms around him. " Are you disappointed ? Are you sor ry? she exclaimed, anxiously. The old man took the small face m hi9 two hands without a word. " I see," she said, " vou couldn't believe it of nie, could you ? and you're very vexed." 44 Child," said Tom, slowly, "did I show how I hated the place, and grudged your going?" Dot hung her head. "No," she anawred, sorrowfully; "It waan t you, nor nobody but my own mean bergarly self." 4 I hen you choose to remain here ? "Yes," she whispered, looking very much ashamed. " I don't wonder you can't believe it." A light gleamed over the worn, pinched features of the old man. For the sake of this moment, &11 the past years of accumulated miseries were as nothing. "Oh, Dot !" he murmured, tremblingly. "Oh, Dot, Dot !" But he could say no more. The Postmistress greeted the child on her reappearance with a smile. "So it'a you," she said, kindly ; " I thought you'd be back soon, but you needn't have run yourself out of breath." "Please, ma'am," said Dot, becoming incoherent in her eagerness, "and thank you all the same, 1 .t I've been thinking I shouldn't like Dad to call when I'm not within reach to hear him, and may be he might feel the room a little strange without me, after being accustomed to see me in it ; so thank you, ma'am, all the same, and I'd rather not." "Not come? ' repeated the other, surprised. " Do you really mean it?" 41 You see,"" said the child, her face flushing, " I couldn't feel warm with him cold, nor satisfied v. ith him hungry ; and I know he'll lie awake at nights not because of the wind, but for thinking of me. Besides, he al w a)' s fancies his victuals less poor when I'm by. So you won't be angry, or ask me to stay ? for I'd rathyr not" The Postmistress did not reply. To judge from the expression of her face, the silenee was not ominous. When shespoke her tone was deferential in its gentleness. 44 Since you cannot stay with we," she said, 41 1 have one favor to ask ; will you allow me sometimes to go and see you ?" Dot dropped a profound courtesy. 44 Ma'am," she said, promptly, "me and Dad will be proud." And thus the matter ended. Cassell M'iyazine m A Dog Mory. Commodore Scuduer, of the United States N:ivy, had a uouble-nnged pointer dog of which be bragged a good deal, and for which he would have refused a larger sum than was ever offered for a dog ttnce the creation of the world. But he is dead now not Commodore Scudder, but the dog. Like the famous hound Gelert, he died a martyr to his high sense of honor. The Commodore told me the story : "I went out hunting partridges one day," he said, "and took the dog along. We hadn't much luck at first, but after awhile Buster that was the dog's name stood aud pointed at a covey Off the finest birds I ever saw in all my born days. They were Mi'iatting down in the low grass, a dozen yards off, in plain sight, and I determined to fire at thuu as they lay. I lifted my gun, tork deliberate aim, and wouM have killed a dozen at least; but before I could pull the trigger a courier dashed up with a dispatch which he said required immediate attention. 44 1 reserved my fire and read the dispatch. It whs au order from the Navy Department to proceed, without a moment's delay, to Philadelphia, to take command of a squadron which was about to sail to the Mediteranean.

PLYMOUTH, INDIANA,

The Planet Mars. From a work recently issued by R. A Proctor, F. R A. S. of England, entitled 'Other Worlds Besides Our Own," we reproduce maps of the two hemispheres of the planet as seen through a good tele scope. The maps have already appeared m print, and the credit of the observa tions on which they ave based is due to Mr. Dawes, not to Mr. Proctor. They siio-v the distribution of land and water on the surface ot the planet. We giv reference letters to the earlh names oi the more important continents and ses. We have no means of knowing how they are n' mated the inhabitants of the planet The shaded portions of the diagram represent the land ; the white apots shoy the relative distribution of the water. Tho upper part of each diagram represents the north, and the breaks ia the bounding circles ahow the poaitiona of the poles. Each pole is surrounded by a patch of ice, marking the middle of the polar rtgions. Tue following are the references : A. Dewei Continent. li. Dawes Orean. C. Casclai l,nnd. '. DiiSJBbrc Sea. R. I),-La Km-Sea. F. 1'ontHTia Land. H. H;r-chol Sir W.) Continent. J. MsrsMl Hea K. Kepler Laud. L. Lockvet LuML M. Hadhv coafJaeati N. TyehoS:a. P. Phillipe Lead. K. Sei'ctii Continent. A comparison of the above diagrams with a hemisphere map of our world, will show several important differences. On the earth the iand lies in compact, though irregular, masses, and the tides of the ocean have free course except where thty pass between islands, or through channels which separate islands from the main land. The surface of Mars is marked by numerous seas of the bottle-neck form, and these run between continents and lengthy peninsulas; only one well defined is'and being visible, and that is probably a volcano. Oil Mars the land and water are nearly equal, while on the earth the waters cover nearly three fourths of the entire surface. The Hnd ot Mars ia of a ruddy color, and it. is the reflection of the solar rays from this which gives the red appearance of the planet. The water is of a greenish hue (as seen through the telescope), and the latter fact indicates a condition similar to the waters of the earth, which are blue or green according to t&e tlistance from the shore. The ap parent hue of the waters is undoubtedly modified somewhat by the passage of the rays of light through the Martial atmosphere before they pass through "the ethereal void'' to impinge on the aerial envelope whif h surrounds our earth. Mars presents a very large extent of coast line as compared with the earth, and it is apparent from the diagram that it iapoaaible to travf I by land to almost every part of his lanu surface without resort to naviga tion. The phenomena of tides as witnessed on the earth are but faiutly reproduced on Mars, and for the reason that he has no attendant satelite. With us the attraction cf the innoB is to that of the sun as 51 to 20. Hence the inagnititude of our tides bein represented by 7, that due to the sun wouid be represented by 2. The greater distance of Mars wi 1 cause the height of the tidal wave in the larger oceans to be small, not exceeding 3 or 4 inches. The rush ot water through the narrow inlets will, be somewhat greater, though slightjust enough to keep up a moderate ciiculation iu the waters. With such a land contour on our earth the greater tides would cause rapid changes in the plan of the continents; in Mara we have no apparent element ol mutability in this direction. The permanence of auch an ou'line aa ia presented by Mars would be practioally impossible were he attended by a moon of considerable weight. Here we have one among numerous examples of " tho eternal StneM of things" to their surrounding conditions. In thia lesser tidal flow, we have also an absence of the forces which have pro duced sudi great changes in the earth's surface, in cutting channels through what was once an isthmus, and the separating an island from the main land. But, inasmuch as Mars exhihits a greater propensity tor channel forming tuan is indicated iu the case of our earth, we can but conclude that the original volcanic action which elevated the land masses above his mean surface, operated largely in lines of force, wheieaa the upheavala of the earth were often effected in points, as Is attested by our own numerouaislandic formations. And, strangely enough, theae elevating forces appear to have operated in the polar regions nearly parallel to the plane of the equator, while in the equatorial regions these lines of upheavsl are more uearly perpendicular to the direction of rotation on the axis. This irregularity of formation is undoubtedly due to the great eccentricity of the orbit of Mars ; the more important ruptures in the once thin crust occurring near the time of the perihelion. Th' ice patches at the poles of Mars, which have been observed to increase and decrease regularly as each pole is alternately turned away from the aun or towards him, are almost conclusive evidence of the existence of an atmosphere -tmil r to that of the earth, In which the processes of evaporation and rainfall, melting and thawing, are perpetually going on, aa in the case of the earth. Hut the amount of solar heat and solar evaporation must be much more variable thau with us, owing to the great ecct ntricity of the orbit of the planet. Thia will also give rise to much greater diffeteuces of extreme and average temperature in t'e two hemispheres than wiih us, and fience give a possibility of far wider tange, and much greater differences in the modes of existence than are known on the earth. From this we may infer that bn number of classes and species of vegetables and animls is much greater, while the uumber of individuals Of each order ia much smaller on the surface of Mara than on that of the earth, and it is very probable

that the majority are monennial having an existence limited to one vear of Mars life. It is also noteworthy that the rposit;on of the ice formations Indicate th'd: tb poles of Mars are the regions of greatest cold, which is not Voc case on the ear hf surface, the point of minimum temptature in our Northern Hemisphere lyine ten or twelve derrers from the pole toward the American Continent, whilour mnenetie poles show an equally wide departure from the poles of rotation. It is already known that the position of the maenetic pole is dedur ible from a study of the lunar motion, and it is highly probable that the position of the points of leat temperature will yet be traced to the same cause. Mars being unattended by a moon, there is, in his case, no apparent cause for difference in the average locality of the several poles of rotation, matrnetism, and temperature. Chicago Inbune. Merry Plays, High Life, or the Uolv Club. One room must be emptied of the company. and five or six gentb-men must volunteer to belonsr to the Ufflv Club, and must practice making ur faces (or possibly rie up some comic msks) until thev ic(inire countenances which it will be difficult to pas without a smile. These stand near the entrance of the' vacant room. Now announce to the company that vou have a rcom devoted exclufdvolv to the aristocracy, and those who wih to rise 'n life, ard who have a sufficiently dignified deportment, nay enter ; but they must be introduced to the members of the Udv Club at the door. The company now try their fortune one by one, and none but thos who ran bow successively to the members of the club, and wish each a stately 14 good evenine," without smiling or lauffhing, can be admitted. Those who pass the ordeal must be in troduced to others who mav have already paed into the room, bv sore1 fictitious title of nobility, as "The Marquis of Hardecrahble," Lady Porringer," "The Duke of Terra del Fuetfo,1 etc, etc. Dutch Concert. In this the company are formed into an orchestra, or band, in which each one ehw3es an instrument, and some one is leader. When the con cert commences, ail play with spirit, imi tating the motions of plaing, but not makmg any sound. The leader now goes around to the different players, and as he stops in front of one, he suddenly begins to imitate the iistrumest which that one plays; and that player mud as suddenly cease imitating his own instrument, and imitate that which the leader has been performing on. The members of the company are severally playing on tbe drum, fife, accordeon, jewsharp, triangle, trumpet, bugle, cornet, banjo, guitar, trombone, violoncello, double bass, obe, clarionet, cymbals, tambourine, haud-orgm, bag-pipe, bones, horn, piano, melodeon, harp, church-bell, and gong. Mr C, the leader plays the violin. He walks about ousily, then suddenly faces the guitar player, and begins to imitate that instrument. Miss D , who is playing the guitar, suddenly b gins to play the violin. The leader now walks about awhile, playing the quit ir, when he suddeidy begins to play the dram The drnmm r suddenly shifts to the piitar. The leader presently begins to play the tromhone, when the trombone player be gins to play the drum ; and so on. Any one who does not forthwith change instruments when the leader changes, must be counted out of the game ; and the game continue8 until the leader is left nearly alone, or the company are tired.

One of t lie sacred promises to those wl 0 are to inherit the better life is: "That the sun should not light upon them, nor any heat " To the inhabit. u Is ot tbe "dry and thirsty land," it is w!l remarked by an au' boron sunstroke, this promise was full f meaning. Thhi Iis ease, or rather accident, has undoubtedly been recognized in some form from the earliest periods of history. The suffer inifs of armies in tropiod climat s, or during the hot. season in higher latitudes, is frequently due to the effects of heat. Laborers exposed to the steady action of the sun's rays in summer, and so situated or clothed aa to interrupt free perspiration, or by their habits raising the tern persture of the blood, are liable to sunstroke. It follows that so called sunstroke may occur without exposure to the sun. and such is the case quite frequently. All the conditions may be present in the shade, and even when the person is in a slate of rest. Though not strictly correct, sunstroke may, for practical purposes, be defined to be an affection of the nervous system, due to overheated blood. The term over heated must be taken in a relative, and not literal sense ; for if the nervous sys tern is in good condition, and the lunc tions of the body Otherwise well perform ed, the temperature of the 1)1ok1 may be very much increased, without daneerous or even injurious results Hut if the in dividual is greatly fatigued, or poorly nourished, or weakened by disease, so that the nervous system is depressed Of enfeebled, the effect of the sudden elevation of the temperature of the volune: of the Mood may prove most disastrous. This result is produced, not by overstimulation, but by actual d-pression, for thw is the recognized effect of over In at -d blotd upon the nervous centres. What ever other and more subtle causes may be operating upon the individual, this one will he most apparent, and, if avoided, will save the exposed person from an attack. By far the larger number of victims of sunstroke are the intemperate; they air predisposed by an induced deprension of the nervous system, due to poor nutrition, and by superheated blood from the ose of stimulants. They olten fall dead in summer from the effects of heat, T while sitting quietly la the aha ie. Among laborer and soldiers, the intemperate are the subjects of sunstioke. The a. d ami inün are liable to be prostrated by heat, due to the rise of temperature of the blood, excited by the heated external sir. Feeble children, alto, often sink from pnre exhaustion, due to the depression of beat. The premonitory symptoms are heat, dindness, great thirst, soiiusioa ol theyes, followed by faiiitiutf, or insensibili ty, like an attack of apoplexy. Aa sunstroke depends noon several oonditiona, ot rar ting In ten i'v, so its at tack may be slight or great, according In theae conditions. In iome tseos, it is but a transient fainting, or, perhaps, only a feeling of slight depression, lasting for several day--, w hde in the severer forms, death follows quickly, as though there had been a veritable roup it oftil, or hi r ke ot the sun. In the management of this disease, prevention is eminently important. It h an affection which can always bo prevented

by proper precautions, and the preventive measures can be practiced by everyone. The one prime object must be to" keep cool, and, above ab, to keep the head, the seat of the great nervous centre, cool. It will not do to cool the extremities simply, for thus the blood is driven in upon the b-'iin an-' lungs, an 1 fatal mischief may thus be created. The whole body should be kept in as nearlv the normal tempera ture as possible. This m:iv be don" by dressing in light loose clothintr, which allow' the cooling proa ss of perspiration to go on unchecked The Chinese fan their shaven heads, and so, if we create a cur rent of air around us, we reduce temperature. We should avoid all stimulating draughts which excite the circulation, and for the same reason v rv active exercise becomes dangerous. The feeble and exhausted should be placed in airy rooms and be gently fanned. The laborer should rest during; the heat of the dav, and drink cooling fluids, and when at work frequent ly bathe tne head, neck, and hands in cool wf( r. When the attack coins on, the sufferer should be taken to a shade, a mustardplaster should be applied, and over his bare h; ad. neck, and chest, c d i water should be dashed. This is all that can BHteiv oe clone witnoui medical advice. Utuith mal Home. F ICTS AMI FIGURES. Gat.veston has 30,000 does. Anna Dickinson is worth $18,000 a year.

And so the Candle came to the poor people a widow with three children, in a little, low Studded room, right over opposite the rich bouse. "G.kI biess the good lady for what shegave !" said Use another; 44 it is a splendid caudle ii can burn till tar into the night.'' And the Candle was lighted. 4 Pugh! it said. 44 That waa a horrid snatch she lighted me with. ' ne hard ly offers such a thing as that to a waxlighl, over at tue rich house."

Then the smallest ot the children in the poor house came she was a little girl and put her arms round her brother and sister's Becks; she had something verjimportant to tell, and must whisper it. " We're going to have this evening just think of it we're going to have tins evening warm potatoes f and her face beam ed with happiness. The Candle shone right at her, and saw a pleasure, a happiness, as great as was in the rich house, where the little girl raid, 44 We arc going to have a ki 1 this evening, and 1 shall wear s me great red bows." 44 Is it such a great thing to get warm potatoes! thought the Candle "Well, her: is jut the stme j y among the li tie things!" and it siieoeed at that that la, it sputtered and more tlnn that no tallow-can.de could do.
