It is not oft we fold our weary hands; Unmindful of the working world’s de mands, Let’s welcome peace, our seldom guest; A cold, gray wall by care caressed, Forbidding before us grimly stands. When smiling Hope breathes forth her sweet commands, The barrier at her glad behest Will, like a bad dream, fade away, And golden sunbeams flood the whole Pathway of gloom.' Yes, it is best— We cannot climb the wall to-day. Then let us rest, dear, patient soul, I pray thee, pray thee, let us rest, —lone L. Jones, in (rood Housekeeping. •kstob ut ths Man Who Gar* Bl.

Then glancing up, If heaven might look sweet Upon his sorrow, one bright star he spied. But as he gazed his hungry eyes grew dim, And the star seemed so many worlds from him. Heart sick, he turned; and in the pool beside, Lo! the same star was shining at his feet. —MacMillan’s Magazine. OVERWORKING THE BRAIN. Brain Worker» Should Have a Large serve of Energy Ke* Exhaustion. Our article is suggested by one in The Lancet on “The Wear and Tear of Lon. don Life,” ami we shall appropriate seine of ita thong/ ts Braiy work, even in its highest fo ins, involves purely physical acta as truly as does that of the muscles of the stomach. “Excessive thought means crebral hyperannia as inevitably as excels in the use of a gastric stimu­ lant means active congestion of the mucous membranes of the stomach, and just as habitual use of too irritating food and drink may induce passive congestion in the intervals, or the sequel of active congestion of the gastric organ, so may too |x;i-sistcnt and excessive brain work tend to the production of a chronic en­ largement of the vessels of the enceph- i” (the brain), “with whatever the al fact in vol vet» or entails.” •ifect similarity of law governs the lopinent oi disorders of brain and .y. Now, as seine have inherited a *ak muscular system, and others a fpeblu digestion, so still others, perhaps in some respects brilliant, have a con­ genital inability for considerable or prolonged brain work, and are almost sure to Is? injured by a continued t train. Tiie times demand in this coun- * try, even more than in England, that . bruin workers should have a large re­ serve of energy, and a capacity for pro­ ducing force almost indefinitely to meet the demands of exceptional exigencies. Ju our country many enter the professions who are naturally equal to routine work, but are wholly unequal to the strains of comj)etition and to the multiplied and varied demands which so characterize our times. They constantly and peril­ ously strike the limits of their congenital capacity. It is equally so in mercantile life. Not a few, who are equal to a small business, find out that they are not equal to a large one only after both physical and financial failure. It is only less so in many other forms of business. Thou­ sands attempt more than they are equal to, the continual pressure of which re Sults in nervous exhaustion. Somewhat akin to these are teachers in our common schools. The early stages of every pro fession and business make peculiar de­ mands on the nervous force. And yet thousands enter the teaching profession who do not intend to. remain in it. The) stay just 1 »ng enough to overwork, ami to be injr red, in many cases for life. So. also, our political system constant l\ brings forward new men who must tit themselves for new and difficult duties at an immense cost to the brain. The physical condition of some of our public men is simply a prominent illustration of this fact.—Youth’s Companion. Summer Drink* for the Country. A little cider vinegar, sugar and a n- don a new jam. or a new soda water, in New York a new brand of tobacco to smoke or to chew. The comparison is not to the disadvantoge of the French­ man. Another thing to be noticed is that the press is called upon to do public work more often here than in England or even in America. If there is a great catastrophe the newspapers not only open a subscription; they are also ex­ pected to organize an entertainment, a performance, or a fete of some kind. And the political newspapers combine in groups as nominating conventions. There was an election here in Paris the first or second Sunday in May, and M. Gautier, the successful competitor, was an­ nounced as the candidate of the radical­ socialist press.—Cor.

If you but try a week of the treatment I suggest, I feel convinced you will once more feel a pleasure in life, and an in­ terest in all your surroundings. But acidity often leads to rheumatism, and on this subject I hope to have more to say another day.
