God (fare Ibe ancients a list of tha animals that they might cat ami a list of animals that they might not eat. These people lived in a hot climate, and certain forms of animal food corrupted their blood and Uai>o.sed them to scrofulous disorders, iepraved their appetites and betneaned their souls A rasa'e food, when he has the means and opportunity of selecting it, auggssts . his moral nature. Tno reason the wild In* llaa is as cruel as the liou is because he has food that gives (lira the blood of the Bon. A missionary among the Indians says that by changing bis style of food to eorretpoud with theirs his temperament was entirely changed.

In L»viftens, God struck this meat off the table ; of His people, and placed before them a bill of fare at ones healthful, nutrielous and generous. * But, higher than this physical reason, there was a spiritual reason why God chose certain form i of food for the ancients. Moil gave a peculiar diet to His people,not only because He wanted them to bc ibttrdgui hed from the surrounding nations, but because certain birds and animals, by reason of their habits, hare always been suggestive of moral qualities.

Tlie owl is the melancholy bird of night. It hatches out whole broods of superstitions. It is doleful and hideous. When IPsiug*, irsings through it* nose.

Yon may be prosperous until yon can fall for half a million dollars instead of haring the disgrace of failing for oaly ten thousand dollars, as some unenterprising people do. It is unite a reward to be able for ten or twenty years to be called one of the solid men of Brooklyn or Boston; and then, to make your fortune last as long as possible, we will give yon a splendid funeral, and you shall have twenty -flvj carriages following yon, with somebody in the most of them, and your coflla shall have silver handles on the sides, and we will mourn for you iu splendid pocket handkerchiefs bound with crape, and with bombasine tw-uty full yards long, trailing half across the parlor so that all the v impaiiv tnay stand ujtonJt^jtnd we will write our letters for -six months ou paper edged with black. But, ray friends, your worldly fortuues will not Iasi. 1 will buy out now all that yon will be worth In worldly estate seventy-five years from now. I have the money In my pocket with which to do It. Here it ist Two cents! It is a large sum to offer for all yon will possess at the end of seventyfive years. Choose the world, if you want to, but, if uot, thru-choose Heaven. That estate lies partly on Ibis side of the river, but mostly ou the other, it is ever accumulating. The prospect of it makes one independent of earthly misfortunes; so that Hagers, the martyr, slept so soundly the night before his burning, they violently shook him in order to get him awake in time for the ex-cutiou; and Paul exults at the thonghtof the “joy unshakable and full of glory.” Oh. choose earth or Heaven! Make up your mind whether you will, walk iu earthly joy, or fly with If evenly expectations. Be not a bat, fit neither to walk nor fly. having’ just enough rtf Heaven to spoil the world, and to much of the world as to spoil Heaven. Christ says that your present condition nauseates Him to positive sick- I ness. “Because thou art neither cold nor hpt, 1 will spew thee out c*f my month!” In the ruins of Pomp-il there was found a petrified woman, w ho, ill-leal of trying to fly front the destroyed city, had spent her time In gathering up her jewels. tSlie saved neither her life nor her jewels, j There are multitnlas making the same mistake.

Timers is tome difference among good men n* to the uanle of this creeping thlag which God pronounced Unclean, but I shall tak • the opinion which seems best suited to my purpose. The chameleon is a reptile, chiefly known by its changeablennas of color, taking the color of the thlugnext to it, somtitU* brown, sometimes gray, but always the color of its surroundings, a type of that class of Chrlttians who are now one thiug ih religious faith, and now another, Just to suit circumstances, always taking their Color.of religious belief from the mau they are talking to. They go to one place, and are first-rate Unitarians. "Jesus was a good man, bnt nothing more.” They go to Princeton, and they are Trinitarians, almost willing to die for the divinity of Jesus. Among the Uaiversalists they refuse the idea rof future punishineut; and going among those of opposite belief, announce that there ts a hell with a gusto that makes you think they are glad of it lirtve out that unclean chameleon from yoar.aoul.

ROMANCE IN STORES. Why Cupid I* N«l Very Popular with llry. Ilwil< U( rrhnuta. One of themoat uhvreleome customers in many of the large dry-foods stores is (,'upitl. This, howerer. Is only true in the eyes of the employer when the little god tungles up the hearts of some of the youug women employed with those >f some of the young men. In all other ca ses Cupid is one of themoat able allies the retail dry-goods man has In his business. An old merchant in this particular line of trjwle spent acme time several evenings ago explaining to a party of friends why this was so. “One of the worst things we have to contend with in our business, as far as our unmarried male end female' employes are concerned,'* he slid, “is love. When a young lady, say in the hosiery department, fails in love with a nice young man in the dress-goods department, or any other department for that matter, there is trouble ahead for the employers. If the young man should happen to return the young lady’s affection the trouble is doubled. How docs this make any difference to us! Well, in nino cases out of ten the tender passion until* its victims for work in the same dry -goods store. This is especially so in the case of the young ladies. Once they gel in love with a young man at another counter thoir mind, instead of being st their own counters, are continually at the young men's counter. The result of this Is that the love-smitten maid is absent-minded and inattentive to busi- ( Bess. I have seen many a bright young clerk who was very raluuble to us become utterly worthless behind her counter simp v because she got to thinking more of a good-looking young man at some other counter than she' did of our busiuesi. ‘•It’s theaame way with the young men, too. When they get too far gone there is eraly one thing left fer ns to do, and that is to discharge them and fill their places. I confess t always reirrot to take this step, and I never do it unless in self-defense. But when the trouhlo reaches a certain , stage there is no alternative Of course we go about it in a roundabout way, and never give the resli cause for dispensing with their services. We explain that business is dull, or something of that sort, and never let on that tlie little passion they nurse so tenderly hat sacriflep-1 their positions in the *tore.’’--.Y. 1". rimes.
