Who asks? Nature; in other words, the law of our being, the instinct of self-preservation, wisely and benevoleutly implanted im every living thing, whether animal, worm, or weed Yielding to this appetite is the preservation of all lite and health, below man; he alone exceeds it, and. in consequence, sickens and dies thereby, long before his prime, in count- a hearseraregs © fact is not recognized as generally as it ought to be, that a proper attention to the “asking’’ of nature not only maintainshealth, ‘ut isone of the safest, surest, and most per- manent methods of curing disease It is eating without an appetite which, in many instances, isthe last pound which break. the camel’s back ; nature had taken away the appetite, andelosed the house for necessary repairs, but, in spite of her, we “forced down some food,” and days, and weeks, and months ofilluess followed, if not cholera, cramp chol ic, or sudden death. _ In disease, there are few who cannot recall instances where a persou was supposed to be in adying condition, andin the deliriam of fever, or otherwise, had arisen and gone tothe pail or pitcher, and drenk an enormous quantity of water, or had gone to the pantry, and eaten largely of some sual food, and forthwith began to recover.

Nature is like a perfect house-keeper; she knows better what is want- ing in her house than anybody else oan tell her. The body in disease craves that kind of food which contains the element it most needs This is one of the most important facts in bu- men hygiene; and yet we do not recollect to have ever seen it embodied ino many words. We have done <9, to render it practical : to make it remembered, we state 2 fact of re- cent occurences. Some three years ago a daughter of James Damon, of Chesterfield, fell down a flight of stairs, bringing on an illness from which it was feared she would not recover. She did, however, recover, except the loss of bearing and sight Her appetite, for some weeks, called for nothing but raisins and candy, and since last fall, nothing but apples were eaten A few weeks ago she commenced cating maple buds; since which time she has nearly regain- ed her fermer health and activity, and her sight and hearing are restored. We all, perhaps, have observed the cats and other animals, when apparently ill, go out and crop a particular grass or weed. In ap- plying theso faets, let ux remember to indulge this ‘asking for’’ of Nature, in sickness especially, in moderation; feeling oar way along by gradually increasing amounts; thus keeping on the safe side. We made this one of our earliest and most indexible rules of practice.’* nt on this mis- d up. the representa- ct the unlooked- of emigration, its waves west- ntinuance of the as allaying and ly successful in was that Parker how?

Think of the strong mea slumbering well at midnight, and now and then tossing in their rest, as » vision of groat- ness or of glory dazzles their never-slecpiag souls. Think of the maidens in the heart of eget city sleeping so quietly and well. and dreaming dreams of love and happiness that can never be realized.
