Are you a Lady?



  The term lady is an abbreviation of the;
Saxon word " Leofday," which means bread-
giver. The "Lady of the manor," was accits-
tomed, once a week, to move among the poor
as an alms-giver, enriching their tables, and
bearing away their blessigns. She moved in
queenly beauty, and to her queenly robe clung
the children of the lowly, looking at her as if
their little eyes could never be satisfied with
seeing-
       Their little hearts could never utter,
    How iell they loved her bread and butter.
  But they loved her smiling face more. They
needed not that any tell them how priceless is
a smile. It was May-day with them whenev-
er she came among them with smiles and
bread, and always May-day with her, for the
smiling poor loved her, and crowned her queen
of all the year.
  Reader, are you a lady? Are you a queen
among the poor ? Do the children of the poor
put a crown on your head? Do they make
your hair gleam with gems, or is it burning
with diamonds that the fingers of the poor
never set there? Do the poor man's children
cling to your gown, and find a protecting
shadow in its folds?
  Are your jewels the grateful hearts of the
poor? If they are, then they will never lose
their lustre, but shine brighter and brighter,
the longer you wear them. I would rather
have one grateful tear from a famished child
I had fed, than all the jewells that glisten on
a queen's brow. I would rather carry light
and joy to one desolate home, than call the
kingdoms of the world my own.-National
Banner.

  ORIGIN OF QUARRaLS -The sweetest, the
most clinging affection, is often shaken by the
slightest breath of unkindness, as the delicate
rings and tendrils of the vine are agitated
by the faintest air that blows in summer. An
unkind word from one beloved often draws
blood from many a heart which would defy
the battle ax of hatred, or the keenest edge of
vindictive satire. Nay, the shade, the gloom
of the face familiar and dear, awakens grief
and pain. These are the little thorns which,
though men of a rougher form may make



their way through them without feeling much,
extremely incommode persons of a more re-
Sned turn in their journey through life, and
make the traveling irksome and unpleasant.

SCOLDING AND GOVERNING.-Some writer
says:-a I never knew a scolding person that
was able to govern a family. What makes
people scold? Because they cannot govern
themselves. How, then, can they govern oth-
ers? Those who govern well are generally
calm; they are prompt and resolute, but steady
and mild."

         HEALTH AND DISEASE.

         Distribution of Heat in Dress.
  Dr. Dio Lewis says, on this point:-"What-
ever the mate -ial used, the form and arrange-
ment of it should be such as to retain an
equal amount of heat over the whole body.-
Thus, and thus only, is a balanced circulation
ensured, and the system effectually braced
against either extreme of temperature, togeth-
er with its changes. As an equilibrium of
the vital fluid is essential, and it can be se-
cured only by an equal distribution of clo-
thing over the body-together, of course, with
its non-compression-it follows that the cut is
not of minor importance in the construction
of dress. Sufficient clothing may be worn to
secure warmth, yet the wearer actually suffer
from cold. Instance: A woman clad in win-
ter in twice the weight of material a man
wears, fails to experience anything like the
warmth he enjoys. He has a general equable
sense of comfort, while she, if warm at all, is
so only in spots and at intervals.. Such dis-
parity is plainly traceable to the difference in
the construction of their costumes.  This
equibalance in dress is essential to heat, too.
As a balanced circulation is due to the heal-
thy evenness of our sensations, it is in any
ease a prerequisite to temperaturial protec-
tion and bodily comfort. As to the second
part of protection, its indications are met in
securing the first. If the form is clad vith
due regard to heat and cold, it is, at the same
time, in the best manner secured against im-
proper exposures. I heard a reverend gentle-
man remark not long since that " women were
not dressed; their clothes were hung upon
them." We may safely leave it-in view of
the oft-recurring " scenes " on the street and
in the house, and the constantly-reiterated
charge little girls receive, to " be more care-
ful and not show themselves " and with an
impartial judgment to decide how much
ground in truth there is for this assertion."

  "Only a cold." Take care ! more than half
the more dreadful and fearful diseases were
at first only a cold. The catalouge is long and
sad. Beware.
