"I have heard of persons whose hair •was whitened thr «igh excessive Hear, Obut as I never *iw mv*)f any one so Gaffeoted Iain disposed to be credulous* on the sublet."

Tue ubovo remark waa made to I)r. Maytiard a-» we aat tbo pta*z* of his pretty II* discussing the different itctM of terror on dissimilar tPtnpfra mentn. Without replying to me, the doctor turned hb» wite and said: "He len, will you please relate to my old friend the incident within your own ox. periencef It is the m»t convincing argument I can advance."

I looked at Mrs. May nurd In surprise. I had observed that h« hair, which was luxuri intand drowsed voiy becomingly, was puiely colorless, but as she was a youuk woman, and also a very pretty on*', I *ohuf-#d that it was powdered U» heighten tins brilliancy of her fine dark ey»*s.

Hut 1 foil no fear, for we never btd heard of burglars or an^ sort of desporadoew in our quite village, then irottMsiinirof a few scattered houses.

I heard the doctor's* rapid footstep on the grave!, ijuleljened by the urgent tonesoi the ini**erfg«'r, wb awaited him and after the s-harp nit'h1 of the carriaue wheels had becomo but an eeho, I seat ed myself by the p.irlor astral and soon became absorbed in the book I had been reading be'ore being disturbed by the summons. Hut after a time my interost aureiimhfMt to drowsiness, audi thought of rotiriuir, wliou the clock in the doctor's study adjoining the parlor struck twelve so I determined to wait a few moments more, ioellng tliat he would N? home now very soon.

'Madame,' he said sternly, clasping my wrist with bis long sinewy fingers, with agripof steel, 'you behave line a child.

On this bo laid mo. and holding me down with one hand with the strength of a manac, he brought forth from some bid len recess in his gown several long letther straps, with which he secured me to' theta()le with tbe skill of an expert. It was but the work of a moment to unl ose my robe and baro my bos-»m. T.ion, aftercarelullv examining uty left breast, he said:

Madam", your husband has made a mistake. I tind no necessity for my intended operation.'

At this I nave along drawn sigh of relief, and prepared to rise. "'But,' ho coutinuod,'I have made tbe discovery that your heart is an large as that of all ox! I will remove it so that vou ty for yourself, roduco it to its natural sis* by a cur.om process of my own, unknowh to the medicai si ienco, and of which I am tbe sole discoverer, aud then replace it again.'

'O, sir, give me an anaesthetic, that I may not feel the pain,' I pleaded. indeed I indeed, mtdaine, I would comply with your wish were you not the wife of a physician—of a skillful sur«eon. 1 wish you to note with what ease I perforin this fUcult operation, so that you may tell your husband of the great savant who*e servioes he secured, fortunately in season/

washing and soup-eating. In various places in the New Testament the "holy KWi*" and the "kiss ol charity" are mentioned therefore, when these brethren and sisters niett at church they ah^ke hands and kiss. When a brother comes mtochnrch he shakes hands aud kisses all the brethren, a sister ditto the sisters. I confess it nearly upset my dignity to see these gray bearded pld fellows come in and kiss ono another^ with a sounding smack, all around. I dare say one could get used to it though. Tbe brethren kiss the brethren, and the sisters kiss the sisters. I

But they never kis?i across. lu the matter of greeting qolored brethren with the holy kiss the church rules say that inasmuch as some white members bave a weakness against kissing dored folks.it is "considered advisable" that the *jolored brethren put up with that weakness for the present, ami excuse the holy kiss until such tune as the white brethren beco«ue s-tronger in the iaith.

Tiio German Baptist take their children to church, babies and «ll, in ancient pioneer fashion. There were people in the little meeting hou-e from seventy years to six months old. The old Dtinker women have tbe peaoeablost, prettiest faces I ever saw on any old lady The faces of the women from the oldest to the youngest, are all so fair and sweet looking. Th«re sat a venerable grandmother with snowy hair and calm, fair face. Beside her a beautiful young mother with her baby, tbe cunniugust little bright eyed Dunker baby, a perfect picture of the Madonna and. child. And, if you'll believe mo, even" that Dunkor i«by wore on its face'the Dunker look ofineflable calm and peace

You won't bo surprised that the Dunker sisters' faces look lairaud unwrinkled and sweet tempered, when I tell vou how they dress. Their dress-up church costume is a plain calico dress and cape, and a gray calico- sun-bonnet The men dress is of the very plainest cut too. Only think of it. friends. Suppose we could one and all suddenly cut away everything cumbrous aud uncomfortable from our dress and from our lives, and have no more, overskirts, bustles, rallies, tight boots, tight dresses, tight coats, tight heads 6r corn doctors no psarl powder, false hair, false smiles or lalse hearts, no worry aud heartache and scheming to dres* as HI as this woman or that one, aud tv»« wiokstl envy or Rpite in our ..cMUxewe can't do it suddenly to throw all this rubbish aside forever, and be simply natural and co&ifojrtable. The very thought of it makes a woman's heart ache to fly away aud be a Dunker sister too.

It must bo s»t. "*ieth!ng in tlie peaceful, simple lives oi these women which makes them so (. 'evantto look at. It appears to me I neve 'saw so many silk dresses together in n. life as I saw in a Cincinnati congregate last Sunday, and yet, among all these o'egant ladies, I tailed to see orto face a\ sGrene and fair and pure as thi faces many ol tho Dunker sisters that Suno in tbe rude little churcb.

5 \THAT OMDRtSLLA. [l*»troltKi*«Prw».l A dozen or more men stood at theoast"i*n entrance of the City Hall yesterday when It began to rain, and along came an individual with an umbrella over his bead. As he reached the top step one of tbe men advanced and said "Ab! I've l.een waiting for you. I knew you had It and it's all right."

The man surrendered the umbrella in a hesitating manner, and his sheepish 100k showed very plainly that ho was not the lawful ownerof it. As he passed into the ball another of tho crowd stepped out and said:

That's my umbrella, and I can prove it. It has a 'J' cut In tho handle." So It had. aud after some parleying it was handed over. The new owner was smiling verv blandly as tbe crown an plauded, wHen a man. turned avenua toeacapo a watting. A.« Boon ai be saw the umbrella be callod out:

RENCONTRES WITH THE INSANE. A lad 7 was one evening sitting in her drawing room alone, when the only.oil) er Inmate of the house, a brother, who for a time had been betraying a tendency to unsoundness of tuind, entered with a carving kniieinhishand.and shotting the door, came tip to her and said, "Margaret. and odd ioea li ta occured to me. I wish to paint the head of John the Baptist, and I think yours ttiicht make an excellent study for it. So, if vou please, I will cutoff your head." The lady looked at her brother's eye, aud seeing in it no token of a jest, concluded that he meant to do as he said. There was an open windo .,- a- a bal iony by her side, with a street in front but a moment satisfied her that safety did not lie tlia", way. So putting on a emilinjr countenance, she said, That is a strange idea, George but would it not be a pity to spoil this pretty new lace tippet I bave got? I'll just step to my room to put it off, and be with you again in half a minute.''' Without giving him time to 0 nsider, she stepped lightly across the floor and passed out. In another moment she was sale in ber own room, whence she easily gavo the aUrm, aud tbe madman WAS secured.

Tbe story of the-gentleman commanded by some insane persons to jump from the top of a tower in their asylum, and who escaped by telling them" he would ratber jump from the bot'om to the top, and ran down stairs as if to execute his intention, is well known butthc follow ing anecdote of a similar situation will bo news to most readers: A gentleman accompanying a party to inspect an asylum, chanced to bo "left behind in the kitchen with a number of the inmates who acted as cooks and scullions to the estab ishmi.ni.

So he said, "Very well, gentle men, I am sure I should make good broth, if you do not spoil It by boiling my clothes with it." "Take off your clothes," they cried out and he began to take off his things very slowly, crying out loudly the whole "while: "Now, gentlemen", my coat is off—I will soon

HOW TO UREA TffK PROPERLY. (Boehsoter Union.] Moat people ureatbo properly often more by accident or instinct than by design, but, on tbe other hand, hundreds of thousands do not breathe properly, whila many thousands at this present moment are suffering from iqore •r less severe affections of the lungs or throat owing to a .tiulty mode of respiration—in other words, because tbey oifttihe through the nioutb instead of through the nostrils. Tbe mouth has u-» o* functions to perform in connection with gating, drinking and speaking and the noatrils have theirs, name'v, smelling and brea'hing. In summer time the error ef respiring through the •uouth is not so evident as in the winter season, when It is undoubtedly fraught with danger to the person wbo •'ommits the mistake. If any one breathes through tbe natural channels of the nostrils, the air, passing over the tuueuous membrane lining tbe various chambers of tbe nose, become* warmed to the temperature of the !ody before reaching tha lungs, but if be takes tbe air between the lips and in the moutb the cold air comes in contact with tbe lelleato lining membrane of the throat «nd lungs, and gives rise to a local chill eqnently ending in inflammation. \Iany persons, without knowing tbe reason why they aro benefitted, wear spirators"over "their nv nth in winter if they happen to go out of doors. By doim this tbey diminish the amount of air which enters betweeu the lips, and virtually compel themselves to breathe through the nostrils. But tbey could attain just tbe same result by keeping tbe lips closed, a babit which is easily acquired, and conduces to the proper and natural way of breathing. Wo believe that if people would only adopt this simple habit—in other words, if thev would take for their rulo in breathing, "Shut your mouth!" there would be an intense diminution in tbe two classes of diseases, namely: those ifthe lungs and throat, which count many thousands of victims in this country in the course of a single year.
