VOLUME XIX?N0J3. r SUMMER. 41 BY ORPHEUS C. KERR. The fickle year is in its golden prime; , The world is dreaming in a hazy lustre, And round the altar of our summer time The blushing roses cluster. Upon the mountain dwells impassioned light, And in the valley sleeps a shade depressing, While fields of waving wealth enchant IIIU Dlgilt, The plowman rests beneath the way# side tree, The stream curls slowly round the hoofs of cattle, And o'er the meadow floats the droning bee, Fresn from his flowery battle. Soft through the southern meshes of the vine, I hear the birds unto each other calling, And in the casket of the eglantine The tropic dews are falling. Far in the distance rolls the sluggish sea, "With not enough of life in all its breathing To bid the sail from its rude bonds go free, And spurns its hempen wreathing. On ail thbie rests a halo and a hush, The .speii of poesy is on the blossom, And Nature's spirit slumbers in a Irish, Caon'iit from high heaven's bosom. Ti.e <1 future blend in one ttWfir.-! Tiie world's a dream, care a hidden murrs'.ur, WhooC-.ttars, however sadly he may Are uut ihe dews of summer. NED'S QUANDARY. Ned Clark stretched his graceful length lazily upon my otiioe lounge, nd assumed a serious expression of countenance. Ned was my wife's cousin?a goodlooking, wide-awake Vellow, possessed of considerable property and an insufferable amount of self-esteem, whi".h rendered him about as happy a mortal as ever existed. But this morning he looked serious. "1 tell you, Tom," he said at length, "I am in such .a pickle?a tantalizing quandary?' 44Well, what's up?" I asked, halfclosing my book. After two minutes of silence, I resumed my book and became absorbed in my study, when Ned ejaeulated. Those Girls!" His eyes were fixed upon the shelf nhovt; mv window, and mine followed 1 - V- / in that direction, but I saw nothing to ; to cull forth his exclamation. Returning to my book. I had reached the bottom of the page, when 1 was again startled by tho words, thia time in a louder tone, "Those girls!" "Where I cried, now fully aroused ; ' where arc they concealed?" "13o calm my friend," intcrrnyted Ked. "I was merely informing you i of the cause of my quandary. It is about those 2sorris girls, you see." "Well, what have they done?" I anked, laying down my book. "Anything that requires my assistance? Is it a breaeh-of-promise case ?" Ned looked at me in undisguised disgust. "You seo it stands like this," ho went on, at length. "1 got acquaint-1 ed with Chwa Xorris, the oldest girl, i last'summer, down at the seashore,! and I was really quite taken in with j her. She is~ a nne gin?was me belle of our sot. "I was just upon the point of pro posing, when she loft. But I thought j it was 110 matter. I just as well at- I tend to it alter I came to the city. So j I called the next day after my arri-! val. was shown into the parlor, and j tola Miss Xorris would be down im- j mediately. I "When tin door opened. I rose to greet my black eyed charmer, but in t tead, stood face to face with a nicelooking, grey-eyed girl that I had never seen before. ' Well, thanks to my knack of get-' * tin.r out of scrapes, 1 slipped out of that all right. " 'I beg pa-don!' I said. 1 But I .-up. r>??ed I wa-; to meet Miss Norris' Ah. yes; 1 see!' sh. said, making -i ca-x; instuHtly 'Your call was -an? my sifter Clara, I suppose. j: ?' f* ' ).11ot at h'-me thus wceic, and yo.i -?v:ll be obliged to let uio entertain vc-i2/ *' *UiiU'tirne wo went on swimf: :ilJd I never enjoyed a call t. r in my life.

Well, I called n^in that week, and that girl's voice irad her soft lovely hands haunted me. Then her sister came, and her eyes were darker and brighter thau ever; and Julia? that is tho other one's name?seemed rathei dim in her presence. Still, her voice and lief way of talking Clara couldn't compares, witn; ana i was iusfc tossed back and forth between the two. 'One day I would decide to settle the thing and take Clara; and then Julia Avoold begin to talk, and her hands would flutter in some pretty work, and I would leave the house deod in love with her. And, one day, she-said to me: " ' Do you know that Ellen is com jng home to-morrow ?' " 'Who i? Eilen ?' I asked. L " 'Why, don't you know ? She is our younger sister. She has been i away at Uncle John's for several months, but is coming home now.' "Well, site came. You've seen her.

And if I* fix my heart firmly i upon either of those, then, then, th?- ; first time I am out on the street, that i queenly Clara giides somewhere in : sight, and I'm gone again." \ rPoor fellow!" I said, gravely, i "I'm sorry for 3'ou. But why don't , }-ou make up 3*0ur mind once for all and propose to one of them, and have -1 it over with?" j "Ah! if they were not sitters, I f would!" Ned responded. "But, 3*au see, I'm afraid, If I should onco en ( gage myself to either one, I should always repent it when I saw the others, i Being sisters, you know, they w^>nld j for .ever be around, reminding a fel-' i low what might have been. But I've ] about made up my miud to take Ellen. s She is a perfect little fairy, and I t know I should bo happy with her. c Don't bo surprisod, if you aro called , upon to congratulate me next -time ( we meet." - t A day or two after, I saw Ned. \ "Well," I began, shall I congratulate you ?" [ "Oh, confound it, no!" growled t i Ned. "I have been there twice; but that conceited tViil Spencer was hang- \ ing round there both times. Ellen | looked daggers at him, and did every- t thing but ask him to go, for she-di- | vined the cause of my visit, I guess. ^ But ho stuck tighter than Spaulding's j glue. He is such a conceited jaean- j japes! No doubt ho thought she was delighted with his presence." t I did not see Ned for a week or two; | but when I did, I held out my card j nf invitation to Miss Ellen N orris's c wedding. ; "IIow's this?" said I, bent on teasing "Guess Will Spencer wasn't so ? very much mistaken, after all ?was r he?

Julia was the j, life of tho evening, with her conversation, her music, and her graceful s ways. I didn't wonder at Ned'* ] choice. I whispered as much to bim, c late in the evening. c He gavo me a beaming glance, IF "Gay?isn't she, Tom? But there ! c is somebody hanging about her all j the time, and I haven't had a chance i ^ to got a word with her. Now, j there's that black-whiskered profes- ^ eor boring her with his ologies. How weary she looks! H say, Tom, can't | you get mm on somcwuuiu, &o x ran talk to her?" But the professor was called away j by soiuo other person just then, and iSTed supplied the vacancy immediately I sauntered off to the library, after ; a moment, and sat down behind the ! high desk, lo look over an old volume. Presently I heard Ned's voice at the door. "Come in hero a moment," he said, ' where wc can fco alone. I want to speak with 3*011." I thought she hesitated, but she 1 camo wilh him, and, before 1 could j 1 make 1113* presence known, Ned had j begun.4ple had a perfect command of j | language, aud talked like a two-vol- j ume novel. j '-You must have long known, Miss j 1 Knvris."

"Light of my life, yes! What else could mv words imply? I love you ! 13e my wife!" Ned was getting eloquent, and ] felt very much like laughing: but it would have becu indiscreet, in my position, so I sat still till the play ended. "I am exceedingly surprised. I heard Miss Julia respond?''very raucli I surprised indeed 1 I had always sup! posed your caiJs were merely the calls j of a friend ; and if out of the three, i you looked upon one with tho eyes ; of love, I had supposed it to be my ' sister Clara-" "Yes, yes!

"It is unnecessary to prolong this interview. [lad I known your intentions, I should ?ot have granted it." "But you don't mean to say Foil surely can not refuse my <uit utterly! Ned cried, mournully.

It was too good a thing to keep I lad to tell Ned that I heard it all, the lext time 1 saw him. "You seo, Ned, I couldn't help hong there," I said. "And. after you iad got fairly afloat on your sea of iloquencc, 1 was not at all sorry to icar it. You did it up well, old boy; jut, really, I was surprised at the re)ly. I had grown to look upon Miss [ulia as a relative." "Oh, hang it!" cried Ned, chafing indor my raillery. "Why can't 3*011 eta follow bo? You'd no business isWning. anyhow! But I ain not lorry she answered tne as she did, tfter all." "No," I said ; 'you will never have injr regrets now, thinking what night have been. It helps you out >f your quandary nicely.

She's a woman to be iroud of]" "All right," said I. Glad you look ! t the tiling so logically. Ilolen and j shall welcome Clara, aad be glad of j ier as a relative and neighbor." Ned went to the Falls, and before I aw him again, with the Norm party j Ie wrote one glowing letter, soon ' ifler he arrived, giving an account >f Clara's royal charms, what a seniation she made, and how the fellows snvied him. ( T tttlll ?11 1\a Drtl I ln/1 linfni'a T tfd f i I >> 111 till VV A V k V/ X )ack!" he wrote. X introduced the subject as soon as vo met. "Well, Nod, when it is to lie?" "Oh, deuce take 3*011!" lie cried, hrowing himself on my lounge in his ild way. "You are always at a fclow?never giving him any peace " "But, Ned," said I grave]}", trying jot to laugh, "you wrote that it vould all be settled before you came jack. What more natural than that ! should ask vou when it was to JO?' "Well, then, never!" snapped Ned. 'She went through all that long rignarolo that Julia did?'she never .bought of such a thing,' and so on? md the next day she was receiving .bo Congratulations of her friends 011 iccount of her engagement to a Bos.011 chap. Seems she has known him or a year or two. ' ! toll you what, Tom," be continued, in a reflective nanner, "there isn't much depend Mice to bo placed upon a woman's ictions.

Oh, well, women are queer creatures ?act ono thing, and mean another; but, I tell you, Tom, that little Brooklyn girl is trim!" Ned profited by Ins lesson, and is a much more agreeable fellow. I told him so ono day. "Ah, yes!" ho said. Knocked off a foot or so of my self-conceit. But it's growing again, for that little woman over in Brooklyn savs I'm the nicest follow walking. We are to be married Christinas, yon know. After all, Fate knew bust what was good for m$. Those Norris girls don't compare with this ono." Ned married his "little girl" over in Brooklyn, and they are as jolly a couple as I ever saw. She is willing to worship Ned, and he is willing to he worshipped. . And he is a very kind and affectionate hnsband as well, and never ia troubled with "quandaries." 0? What we Breathe. The Scientific American pays, we have all heard of the Black Hole at o Calcutta. It was a room eighteen In foot square. In this room ono hun- u dred and forty-six persons were con-: S 1 ri. 1._.J 1,?. ?.,,i I #. I nilUii. il I1UU UUt UI1U \VIIiUU\V, ciuu tv j that ft small one. Dr Dunglison, in ii j bis "Elements of Hygiene," says: Ii "In less than an hour, many of the F j prisoners were attacked with extreme j diilioulty of breathing; several were ": delirious, and ihc place was filled with g incoherent ravings, in which the cry d rfor water was predominant. This <? was handed to them by the sentinels, h but without the effect of allaying t( I their thirst. In less than four hours tl many were suffocated or died in vio- rI : lent delirium. In five hours the surI vivors, oxcept those at the grate, w j were frantic and outrageous. At tl length' most of them became insensi* b lile. Eleven hours after thoy were t! imprisoned, twenty-three only of th? il one hundred forty-six came out alive 1 ?and these were in highly putrid g fever." C There are many "black holes" like this used for sleeping rooms, says the j ir | London Uo-oprvitor, the difference be- v ! tween them and the one at Calcutta k is that they aro not crammed quite a so lull of human beings. In a word, fj then, we mav say a sleeping apart- t inent should bo large, lofty and airy. \ It is a poor economy for health to 1 have largo and spacious parlors, and h small, ill-ventilated bed-rooms. Fash- t ion, however, is a reigning deity in a this respect, and will, no doubt, con- li tinue to bear Sway notwithstanding c our protest against her dominion. c You will scarcely drink after anolh- li cr person from the same glass, j'et t you will breathe over and over tho n same air charged with the filth and e poison of a hundred human bodies f around you. You can not bear to ii touch a" dead body because it is sd i poisonous and polluting; but you can s take right into your lungs, and con- a seqnontly into your body, your system, those poisonous particles and a roxious exhalations which the bodies |j around you have refused, and which s have been cast into the atmosphere c j by their lungs, because the health of s their bodies required them to be t thrown off. a If the '-timorously nice creatures r who can scarcel}' set a foot on the n ground," who are .so delicate that t< ! - .1 ii 1?

More sickness is caused by vitiated air than can be named. Jt*is one of | v the prominent causes of scrofula, i 11 i which is but another namo for half! !! the diseases that attack the human '' body. It vitiates and destroys the v whole fountain of life?the blood. 0 In (ho sick room it often augments c the disease or renders it incurable. a If the physician comes in and opens a v window, the good nurse or the tender mother, or the kind wife, or the lov- v ing sister, will fly up and close it as v ' thounh the life of the siek were at r j stake. All this is well-meant kind- n ! ness. but real I v cruel. j If you would have health, breathe j1 J fresh air; throw open your windows | every morning, and often during the j i day ; leave off the mti tiers from the j * chin. For twenty years I was acens- * totned lo never going out without a 1 handlcerchief tied closely around the ? mouth, and for nearly that period k have left it off.

Let air into your bed-rooms; you can c not have too much of it, provided it- . does not blow directly upou you. 1 Many students are injured by vitia- ! ted air in their studies.

Many, also, are i * 'seriously injured by the manner of;' I heating their studies. All close stoves ' j should b*e avoided. The good, old! fashioned, open, largo chimney, with f i a fire place sufficiently capaeions to!'
