The First Sign Of failing health, whether in the form of Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a sense of General TTeariness ami Loss of Appetite, should suggest the use o f Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. . This prepanation is most effective for giving tone and strength to the enfeebled S3’stem, promoting the digestion .and .assimihation of food, restor ing the nervous forces to their normal condition, and for purifying, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.

He Suggests a Judicious Use of • Younger Brother—Sad Music Beoom* mended—Avoid X.anghing a t H is Bunny Stories—Other Flans. B oston , Feb. ST, 1887. M b . N ve - I have enjoyed all your writings in Ihe Globe ever so much, and noticing that you have given a great deal of advice free, I thought that possibly you would teU me the best method of getting rid of an impertinent young man, Kme. Tours truly, r with him; whether he is a poor conversationalist or too fluent in that line; whether the first tw o joints of his finger a nd thumb are yellow with cigar ette stains, or w h a t his leading character istics are. Possibly he has fatty degener ation o f the thinker. However, you say he is young man a few hours. Yott can excuse yourself while you ostensibly put on your other dress, and i f you delay long enough you can cause the young m an a great deal of intense suffering. You can take the right kind of a younger brother, w ith in flammatory hair and w h ite eyes and warts on liis thumbs and season cracks in the backs of his hands, and if you properly “sick” the hoy on his prey and fasten the door securely you can come back in an. hour and do anything you w a n t to w ith that young man. I know this to be true, for I have been the young man myself. I have also been the boy. OTHEB INDIGNITIES. I have known a young man who in fested a house that w a y to he eradicated, by means of very sad music. They do n o t die in the house. Anotherr g at his f plan would be to avoid laugh- idotes. Y^ait till he ment. That Is the time to refrain from twinkling. 'Wait till he gets to the nnb of the joke, as it were, and pricks up his ears to listen for a w ild burst of silvery laughter. That is the time to hang on to your silvery laughter. It w ill give him a pained expression of cotmtenance, and yon WO! see him soon after look at his watch. W hen he completes his story, suddenly w ake up and ask him if that is aU. Pew men can endure this for over two weeks. Of course there are other and m ore radical methods of accomplishing the re sult y ou wish, hut these are the ones more common in the best society. I naturally- supposed that you wanted the methods used in the best society, or you w o u ld have gone elsewhere Instead of coming Should you finally w ish to he more se vere, however, yoii can invite a young girl to be present during the young man’s stay. I would suggest that this young girl be a fluent talker on the subject of clothes. If you both keep the talk going pretty w ell while the young man looks a t the album or gazes with a fixed stare through a stereoscope that hasn’t any pic tures iu it, you w ill soon have his pachy- dermic pelt on the fence. &. BABE POSSIBILITV. ■ B u t there is a bare possibility that this young m an is in love w ith you, a nd would thjjjLk.it.humorous even if you were to fill him full of fine shot. In that case I do not k n ow w h at you ought to do. Love i s a strange missive. It goes where it i s not sent and it refuses to go where it is n you could get him away by him self, it would be w ell enough, perhaps, to ask him if he loves you. That’s the way I ■would do. The quicker a matter of that kind is disposed of the better. A sk him in a m a n ly way if such is the case, and i f he really does love you, and has reason to believe that you were paying attention t o him all this time, you cannot in honor de sert h im now. Do fiothe discouraged. Let me know how you get on with the suggestions I have made above and I am confident we ■will succeed. Have you ever tried wearing a large, tall hat -with a stuffed b luejay in it to the- theatre and sitting in the seat just in. front of him.’ Try it i t y o u hare not done so alreadj’, and if yorr do not get rid of him, as weU as a great number of law abiding citizens, -write me and I w ill sug gest something e?-- CONTROL OF THE EYES. Iting That Is Particularly ary in the City of New Xori Tlie greatest secret of enjoying existence in IXfW York is that one must be absolutely the master of his own eyes. Hungry Joe, the arch confidence operator, used to say that ho could distinguish a stranger by his hat or shoes. The idea that these betray men is so deep rooted that many strangers always buy Kew York hats and shoes as soon as they ar rive, while others who exi>ect to come often to town order these wearables from city shops. But you can get eon-ect hats and shoes in any lai-ge city, and off styles in the Bowery. But wba trolhis ej society cany the thing too far. They go about foi-ever looking over every one’s head, or else staring with a dead and live glassy look, insulting alike to whomsoever they glance at and to their own intelligence. This they think “the grand air” and their adrairei-s dub it aiistocratic. A ward politician the other day said to me that the leaderrt-- of political facti( lead e tain political faction was “gittiug’nstocratic.” I asked him how he was showing this. “Ob,” said the heeler, “he has a tired look, and he don’t seem to see you ’less he wants.” But by eye control I mean the seeing of everything without being seen to do so. This necessity is bred by the horde of street bandits that prey upon every man out of doors. Their number is legion and their ways are the ways of brigands. If a man lets his eyes fall on a boy who utters a peculiar street cry he is apt to have from two to six newsboys leap for him like so many human catapults. As ho steps from a hotel, theatre, depot or club, if he allows his eyes to wander an instant he wiU be at once surrounded and hemmed in b y cabmen, by violence. may not b( rid of the fellow f o r , a block. ; eye for an Instant on a group of well dressed men (who may be interested in a “quiet game’L or on a boisterous drunkard or a vol uble crank, may prove to have very annoy ing results.

N ew York Stoves In Germany. German stoves, by the way, are of a large, cumbrous size, resemble a furnace in shape, but are anything else in reality. One can never catch a glimpse of flame, and from their nature, if heated in the morning, begin dra-wlng in the afternoon. Their merit lies in the f a ct that they pre serve a room at a uniform temperature, \(W ing It to become hot. The w ithout allo-wing i favorite attitude is to lean up against them, to ascertain whether it is heated or not, as there is no possible danger of scorching. The w hite color of the porce lain is iu stx-iking contrast t o the dark iron cast o f ours, and, looking something Uke a n old fashioned cupboard, a stranger would n ever recognize a stove In one until the fact is mentioned.

A Myth Traceable to the Traditions of BarDarlsm—Freedom and Social Equal ity Among the Colored Feople o t the Capital. I and muttered some gibber cpuld not understand and made some queer motions with his hands. Among a certain grade of negroes in Washington, particularly those who drifted there after the war from the extreme south, there prevails a supersti tion that is as ominous for them as the death tick used to be for the ignorant peasants of England. It is that there rushes through the Street at midnight a supernatural being, formed like a man, ha-ving long, hook like fingers and a poisonous breath, and that whenever he tums-aud breathes -upon a house where a child lies sick the child is doomed to death before another night. It is not ominous to one to hear the night doctor, as this being of superstition is called, and always after the death of a child the negroes get together and ask who of them heard the night doctor pass by. Some one is sure to assert that he or she heard the low, moaning, rushing sound made by the night doctor’s quick flight. But it is regarded as a surely fatal sign if any one sees the night doctor. THE NIGHT DOCTOB COMING. Sometimes at midnight darkies who are on the street -will suddenly turn their faces to a wall and stand with their hands over their eyes for some moments. They have fancied that they have heard the night doctor coming, and they believe that if thei Pompeiian amphitheatre, and it is sup posed that-when it is all excavated hack to Pompeii a c ity g ate -will be found at its commencement. It is also not improbable that near the city it vwill ‘ ' oming, laved with lava, like tl mbs on the -western speedily follow. These people are singularly reluctant, too, to speak to any one but those of their o-wn superstition about the night doctor, and if they are tempted to say any thing they speak -with undoubted manifesta tion of terror. I once heai-d an old colored man who was head -waiter at one of the hotels say that he knew that a man of whom I in quired would not recover from his sickness because the night before he was taken he had seen the night doctor go flying through the streets. The man did die in a day or two, and had been dying for a year -with consumption, but no reasoning could persuade these colored people that he was inevitably doomed before he had the vision of the night doctor. But victims of this creature are children, ex- L adult sets his eyes on it, and no death i ues\ which had evidently surmounted ;ath. On the road itself ioh was 1 ire indicated by the passage of night doctor. The myth seems to be traceable to tradition brought by the ances tors of these people from ■ \ ‘ The Washington r esting opportunities freedom and I altogether enc thrifty, or at least to rely upon daily work for support. Laziness does not prevail among them to the extent that it does further south. There are more opportunities for making and saving money in Washington for these people than anywhere else in the country, although the negro population is one-third that of the city, and no city in the Dnited States has a larger colored population. They are very tenacious of their civil rights, especially in public, on the horse cars, in the theatres and at the Capitol. They are very anxious to o-wu; homes, and they are divided into social sets with as much rigor, if not by stricter lines, than the white people of the city. The coal black negro despises the mulatto, while the mulatto is disposed to snub the pure blooded African. But they are all clannish, and are most abject imitators of the white political equality, and it is not icouraging for those who looked seen the slight depressions or ruts causi by the wheels of passing vehicles. The tombs are erected on a straight line on either side, and where one is set rather back it has a low stone balustrade, which keeps the line and extends beyond the tomb,- probably inclosing a space pur chased for subsequent tombs, and then gain built forward on Thus this little portion excavated street has a neat and sym metrical appearance. The first tomb e abject imitators of the wl people, even in the fiaatter of social etiquette, aud a re slaves to supei-stitions as much as they ever were upon the plantations, though many of them strive to conceal this trait. niTTLE ORIGINALITY. ; little o-vidence of originality many of them have re educations. The oneration can read , f course, some ei- eptions to this rule, but these exceptions prove it.

Ji people do not wish to be divorced all the laws and courts be tween here and tophet couldn’t sepa rate them. Divorce is not a disease, but, only, ai the worst, a symptom of preceding disease, or perhaps more truly a desperate clutch at a remedy for a desperate disease. This author urges more serious consideration be fore entering into marriage relations, and the remembrance that two people who are married have their individual livea to lead none the less because of ihe new relation, and mutual conces sion must be made or disaster in some form will be the result. That all in telligent people nowadays know that body, more powerfully constituted than another with which it is closely associated, often absorbs so.to speak the other’s vitality, leaving it listless, pale, steadily wasting away, and that a like process, mental and moral, is not infrequent, a strong masterful will taking the color out of another individ uality, and all this without necessary reference to the difference of sex, which when added to the other preponder ance, makes the result more disastrous. All this voice a profound truth, and this author hints vaguely at the neces sity for more complete, judicious, and common sense instructions of the young on themes which are connected with the general subject of marriage. It is doubtless true that the scope of current education is not practical a o u g h in th is direction, but th e chief difficulty seems tc be that young peo ple are not led enough to apply the knowledge their education brings them to the practical aims of life, marriage mg others, and perhaps most im portant of all. The fact is we hear no end of sniveling drivel talked on the “frightful facility of divorce” in our time, and men and women are franti cally engaged in trying to erect bar riers against it—barriers which, like continually rising dam against an ac cumulating stream, will serve only to make the final inevitable disaster mere terrible. The simple truth is that the fault lies not in easy divorce, but in the fatal facility of marriage in our society. W ith US anybody may marry— practi cally —and they do it all the time, with out thought or calculation or reflection of any kind about relative .fitness, phyaieal, mental, moral, social, or any' other, without any thought of duties to each other or the world, without the faintest thought for the future in any way—with Jess exhibition of prudence or care than any one of them would show in forming a six months’ partner ship in the business of selling tape or peanuts. People may preach and pray and snivel and growl about it as much as they please, but all in vain, for it is logical and philosophical social ne cessity which no power on earth can escape that, while men and women re main what they are, if marriage re mains as easy of commission as it is, divorce must be correspondingly easy, worse disaster will follow.
