Overworked Brains. - Dc William A. Hammond, says the /-j&eicsoxdCoiiricr, has written an arti -'?*Ncte upon "Brain overwork and some of ^'its 1 cons?quences,' which is made especiall y inter?s ti ng by the stories of patients wno have come nader lus owo treatment,. The first effect of an ex ri^f?v&toctf tteTttfai?. Dr. Ham aiptfd'Saysy ts generally ' wakefulness. II f&jBSYyp nude ry laud w by this should *^4e-tisseuse when we' bear in mind how sleep isiprod need. Exact observations have shown that sleep is caused by the ^r%$ff?^*Taemr+ -flowing ont of the ^vessels of the, braiu tn to those of other parts o? the bjody? Of coarse anything that ^ prevents the diminution of tho qut?6Try of blood io tb??irain pr?teurs ** 'sfeojk' Every time an individual thinks* *^J*?J?bc only fur the hundredth part of a ^H?lp?d. etory-ttmehis emotions are cx r r cifet^ ?he vessels cf the brain enlarge - ?and the*quantity of blood they contain is increased. -Normally, as soon as the thought nas passed and the emotion has faded away, too vessels contract, and When sleep is coming on they diminish j \ l?t?i inor? in calibre. But if a person 'J?-Jifia-ks-too mach, and especially it' he is >' a&xious about some important matter, ? .* . there w no opportunity for the vessels to 1 -become rede ced in size. They must j ** '^remain-f??? of blood in order that the r^^brajalinay dotte wprk required". Thc - 4?^?&a is thus" kept up too long, and /".?ovet?taa?ly, like all over-distended | ,",'*l1p0(K?;,th'cy-:l?e* their elasticity, and . theo a return to their normal dimen? sions is no longer possible. ? "'""Bj far the most influential factor in * 'causing wakefulness is. according to j Br. Hammond, ew^ional excitement, ? .. and of all the emotions most powerful in j ..this"direction anxiety comes first, j ^There is more or less anxiety attendant j vtfep?t aff business operations, but those \ nwho are engaged ?u stock speculations j QM?jp?ti^?tDr. Hammond to be most liable "*^toU?4?&fiied with anxiety. He thinks ffi&t nornven Che certainty of disaster so effectually wears away the brain as j the'uncertainty which exists with toe j ' great mass of transactions relating to J stocks. The 'operator/ after having perhaps passed an almost sleepless night, goes 4down town,' in the morn* j ing, -knowing .that bc must obtain i 'y$?0Q.Q00 or $300,000 by 3 o'clock to ' keep up his margin or make his balance good at the bank, and not knowing ~ where the money is to come from. Probably he gets it, but the same thing ls repeated day after day, tilt eventual* -T ly his whole nervous system breaks Howu^4* ?T he " does not get it, ruin s".comes; but like most Americans be - knows how to adapt himself to the in-j : evitable, and so after the first pang is j . ' over he manages to start again or goes I into some entirely different business, I ' ? and the intercurrent rest which is forced j i upon Mm is the best medicine he can j ' take for restoring his exhausted bra io. ! i ?': Politicians suffer in a like manner] ' ?for politics require for its successful -^prosecution Jx>tb intellectual and emo Mionat 'activity. Br. Hammond cites easvof an eminent Massachusetts i fl statesqam, who-from an humble station ! . had risen to the dignity of the Vice? 'President of the United States, and who daring thc war in the Sooth carried his mental .exertion to a point that bas 1 rarely ever been reached, and io whom 1 , the most powerful emotions were coo-1 stan'tly. at work ; who never knew a moment during the day that he could call his own, and who passed the great? er part of the night in Cabinet councils or committee meetings upon whose :: actions the fate of the nation depended. He was a man of powerful build, free ??j from vices, temperate in bis li', .og, and of most equable temperament. So strong was be in all the attributes of vitality, that Dr Hammond says if be .had when peace came resigned his pub? lic position, and made the tour of the rv world, or even spent six mouths on the ? Western, plains, he would now have ^been alive and receiving thc honors he had so worthily carried. But he acted , differently, and it was again shown in ? him that though the brain be strong " and capable of enduring a terrible amount of ill-usage, there is a limit to its powers of endurance. He had suf? fered from wakefulness and other symp , toms of cerebal disorder for several . months, and the Sunday before he died went to consult Dr. Hammond for the . second or third time. The doctor found his brain intensely congested and his whole nervous system unstrung, and in? sisted that he should not go to Washing? ton'that evening, as be iutended, but should first have two or three nights of sound sleep. He promised to follow this advice, but in a few hours after? ward he seat a note to the doctor, from his hotel, saying that as thc business tbat called bim to the Capitol was very important, and as he was feeling so * ts?cb better than in the morning, he had changed bis mind and would leave for Washington in an hour. He weut and attended to bis work, but it was the last he ever did, for shortly afterward he suddenly passed into a state of stupor, and io a few hours he was dead in the capitol ia which bc had planted the seeds of his disease. Nothing is so instructive as example, and Dr. Hammond cities other cases that have come under his personal ob? servations. Bot the lesson be seeks to teach ts well illustrated io the example given, above. The brain must have rest. Permanent injury is in evitably and invariably thc result if mental ex? ertion is carried too far. Most people have seen the India-rubber bands which are used for the purpose of keeping packages together. If the package is somewhat large and the baud ts kept arouud it for a lung time, the baud, when removed, does not return to its original size. It is exactly thc same with the blood-vessels of the brain. A condition of congestion is thus produced which is fraught with danger to thoFe who do not heed the first warnings. Wilmington Review. Sweet-Minded Women. So great is the influence of a sweet minded woman on those around her that it is almost boundless. It is to her that friends come in seasons of sickness and sorrow for help and com? fort. One soothing touch of her kindly hands works wonders in the feverish child ; a few words let fall from her lips in the ear of a sorrwing sister do much to raise the load of grief tliat is bowing its victim down to the dust in anguish. The husband comes home worn out with the pres j sure of business and feeling irritable with the world in general, but when he enters the cosy sitting-room and sees the blaze of the bright fire and meets his wife's smiling face, he suc? cumbs in a moment to the soothing influences, which actas the balm of] Gilead to his wounded spirit. We are all wearied with combating with the realities of life. The rough schoolboy flies in a rage from the taunts of his companions to find soi j ace in the mother's smile ; the little lone, full of grief with its own large I trouble, finds a haven of rest on its I mother's breast ; and so one may go on with instances of the influence a stveet-minded woman has in the so? cial life with which she is connected. Beauty is an insignificant power when compared with hers.-London Truth. - i- ? i -i - An Affecting Scene. We clip the following from the Evangelical Messenger. What a ter? rible revelation of son ow ! And what au eloquent lesson of warning ? No man sins unto himself alone. Others are affected by his oifenses. Tin's wife and these children aie not only widowed arid orphaned by the dread? ful crime of a husband and father, but through life the disgrace of his bloody deed and hangman's death will stain their otherwise fair names : A heart-breaking 6cene occurred several weeks ago, showing the bit? terness and cruelty of sin and the suf? ferings of helpless innocence with the guilty- John Thomas, convicted of murder, and sentenced to be hanged in April next, was on his way. to At? lanta jail, where he was to be confin? ed until tho date of execution. While waiting for the train at the railroad j station in Palmetto his wife sat by him, her head upon his breast, sob? bing violently. Iiis three little chil? dren were gathered at his knees, kiss? ing his hands and begging him not to j go. At length one of them noticed the steel manacles on his wrist, took hold of them, and, pulled them vigo? rously, said : "Papa, what have you these on for?" The child kept trying to pull them off, ignorant of the dreadful truth of why they were there. Failing to re? lease him, the child appealed piteous ly: "Papa, do please take off these ugly things; 1 don't like to see them on you. Take them off so you can lift me on your lap." By this time the other children join? ed in the appeal, and the crowd of pensons surrounding could not sup? press their tears. At length the train rolled up, the murderer was ta? ken from his weeping family, and was soon on his way to await his terrible doom. A certain Western clerg}'man de? nounced a saloon keeper whose whis? key, it was thought, took away a poor man's senses and put him in the way of death on the rail. The liquor seller responded with a vote ol thanks for the gratuitous advertising, accom? panying his note with a bottle of the stuff that supposably did the work. Thereupon the minister gave him a little more free advertising. The whiskey was sent to a chemist with the following returns as to analysis : Alcohol.25 per cent. Fasil oil (poison).10 per cent. Picrotoxine {deadly poison). 5 per cent Acetic ?cid (Vinegar).10 per cent. Coloring. 5 per cent. Aqua (water).45 per cent. Such an exhibit is the best sort of a temperance lecture.- 'Ehe Stan? dard. Miss Frances E. Willard announ? ces her retirement from the lecture field after ten years of continuous work. She will devote herself to the care of her aged mother and to literary work. A few outstanding engage? ments however, remain to be filled. "We need nothing now, in the country, to obtain entire emancipa? tion from the horrors of the liquor curse but a little fidelity on the part of the church to christian dut}'. Thc liquor traffic is the great obstacle in the .way of tiie progress of the gospel, and it seems to me thc church should help with all its might to remove it."

Chap?n may be men? tioned for their untiring* zeal in this good work, and men and women all over the State are becoming enthu? siastic in furthering the principles n total abstinence and prohibition. We soe the statement that in one week Mrs Chap?n added nearly twelve hundred names to the membership of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, besides doing much other good. It is conceded that the credit is due largely to Mrs. C. for the pro? hibition in Edgefield. It is high time for every lover of his race to awake to the importance of pushing the bat? tle until the victory is acheivcd. Christian Neighbor. According to Judge Noah Davis, there is an average of more than two murders in New York City weekly ; 67,000 persons are arrested annually for crime, and nine-tenths of the Climes committed are traceable di? rectly to grog-shops. No member of any Baptist church in Mexico either smokes or chews to? bacco, not because the churches for? bid it, but because the missionary zeal will hot allow them to use money for mere indulgence while the dif?u: sion of the gospel needs it so much !

"Gentlemen, I almost envj* yon thc posi- j tions yon till ; your experience <>f the world ; i your knowledge of business; tiie changing i sights you see, ??nd all that, you know.' This warmly expresse'! regret fell from the : lips of au elderly pleasure tourist, last ' August, and was addressed to a semicircle ol j commercial travelers seated on the porch of j the Lindell Hotel, St. Louis, Mo. 'Yes,' responded a New York representative j of the profession,'a drummer isn't without I his pleasures, luit he runs his risks, too- j risks outside the chances of railroad collisions i aud steamboat explosions.' 'What risks for instance?' 'This, for instance,' said .Mr. W. D. Frank- j lin, who was then traveling for an Kastern i house, and is known to merchants in ali : parts of the country : *The risk-which, in? deed, amounts almost to a certainty-of get- j ting the dyspepsia from perpetual change of i diet and water and from having no fixed ! hours for eating and sleeping.
