Words of Wisdom.

Have a good conscience and thou shall have joy. The glory of a good man is the testimony of a good conscience, z. He who can at all times sacrifice pleasure to duty approached snblimlty. A good conscience is able to bear very much, and is very cheerful in adversity. A man’s own good breeding Is the best security against other people’s ill manners. Thank God! oar troubles come like rain, chiefly sideways; there is always shelter. A bold fight against misfortune will often enable a man to tide over a tight place and put ruin to flight - Would we but profit by the experience of others we should have the royal road to the palace of wisdom. Philosophy triumphs easily enough over past and future evils, but present evils triumph over philosophy. We must not speak all that we know, that were folly ; but what a man says should be what he thinks, otherwise it is knavery. Faith dies when cliarity ceases to feed its flame, and strength decays just in proportion as cheerfpl hope fails to quicken the energies of the mind. / Life is disciplinary, and those who are ground in the mill of adversity make oetter'spiritual material than those who are disciplined only by plenty and success. If a man tfe gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows that be is a citizen of the world, aud that bis heart is no island cut off from other hearts, but a continent that joins them

True joy is a serene and sober emotion ; and they are miserably oat that take laughing for rejoicing; the seat of it is within, aud there is no cheerfulness like the resolution of a brave mind. It is a most important lesson, and too little thought of; tliat we learn how to enioy ordinary life, and to be able to relish our being, without the transport of. some passion, or the gratification of some appetite. As the dress of one who has passed several hours in a garden retains somewhat of the perfume of the flowers, so a person who spends much time in the company of the good will exhale from his person the odor of virtue. The river Jordan is not the only pleasant water that empties itself into a dead sea. Some of the “sweetest currents” of our lives are fated to end there. Let us look to it that we are not borne thither on their limpid bosom I

Young Napoleon’s Prospective wife.

Princess Thyra, of Denmark, like the Duchess of Edinburg, has not inherited the beauty of her parents, falling so far short of Princess Dagmar as the latter does of her elder sister, the Princess of Wales; but in intellectual gifts she is fully a match for either. She is a great favorite with her father, and wished to accompany him on his visit to Iceland at the “Millennial Festival ’ of 1874, but the length and stonniness of the voyage proved a sufficient objection. Curiously, enough, both she and her sister Dagmar —whose influence over her husband may one day have a momentous effect upon the politics of Europe bear names with which Danish history may be said to commence. One of the earh-%. est Danish queens was a Scandinavian princess named “Day break” (Dagmar) who signalized her wedding with the king of Denmark by abolishing the obnoxious “plow tax,” and claiming the release of all the prisoners confined in the royal dungeon of Oringsberg. Princess Thyra’s namesake was a widowed queen of the eleventh century, who flying from her home in Denmark to escape from the unwelcome suitor pressed upon her by her brother, took refuge at the court of Olaf Trygvason, king of Norway. Olaf, with his usual headlong generosity, married her on the spot, and avenged her wrongs by harrying Denmark with fire and sword. The prince imperial’s betrothal ought to bring him good fortune, if there be any truth in old rhyme which says: •When the Dane aball mate with a banished king. The crown on his bead once more sbal I b ing.” (bang J

The Printer and his Types.

Benjamin F. Taylor, the printer-poet says: Perhaps there is no department or enterprise whose details are less understood, by intelligent people, than the “art preservative,” the achievement of the types. « Every day, their life long, people are iwcuatometl to read the newspaper and find fault with its statements; its arrangements ; its looks; to plume themselves upon the discovery of some roguish acrobatic type that gets into a frolic and stands upon his head; or of some waste letter or two in it; but of the process by which the newspaper is made, or the myriads of mills and the thousands of pieces necessary to its composition, they know little and generally think less. They imagine they discourse of a wonider indeed, when they speak of the fair I white carpet, woven lor thought to walk ton, of the rags that fluttered on the back of the beggar yesterday. But there is something more wonderful still. When we look at the hundred and fifty-two little boxes, somewhat shaded with the touch of inky fingers, that compose the printer’s “case,” noiseless, except the click of the type; as one by one they take their place in the growing line—we think we have found the marvel of art.

> We think bow many. fancies in fragments there are in those little boxes; how many atoms of poetry and eloquence the printer can make here and there, if he bad only a little chart to work by; how many facts in a small “handful," how much truth in chaos. 1 Now. he picks up the scattered elements, until he holds in his hand a stanza of “Gray’s Elegy," or a monody upon Grimes* “All Buttoned Up Before. Now he sets “Puppy Missing,” and now “Paradise Lost? he arrays a bride in “Small cape,* and a sonnet in nonpareil; he announces the languishing “live” in one sentence —transposes the word and deplores the days that are few and “evil” in the next. A poor jest ticks its way slowly into the printers hand, like a clock juet running down, and its strain of eloquence inarches into line letter by letter. We fancy we can tell the difference by hearing by the ear, but perhaps not The type that told a wedding yesterday announces a burial to-morrow—per-haps the same letters. They are in the elements to make a world es. Those type are a world with something in it and beautiful as spring, as rich ifs summer and as imperisnable as autumn flowers frost cannot fruit that shall ripen for all time.

Join at Once.

A young sub-lieutenant on sick leave put up at a hotel in Poonah, and while recovering his health lost his heart, proposed to the fair thief, was accepted, and the wedding day was agreed upon. His colonel, however, happend to disapprove of sub-lieutenants marrying, and telegraphed a peremptory “Join at once.” The disgusted subaltern handed the unwelcome missive to his lady. She read it, and then with a blush of-maiden simplicity, remarked: “I am glad your colonel approves of the match; but what a hurry he is ini I don’t think I can be ready so soon, but I’ll do my best; because, of course, love, the colonel must be obeyed.” “Yon don’t seem to under.I ie darling,” said the dull fellow; “it quite upsets our plans; he says ‘Join at once.’” The lady looked’ up with an arch smile and replied: “It is you, dear, who don’t’understand it The colonel says plainly ‘join at once.’ Of course, he means get married immediately. What else can he possibly mean ” “What else indeed?" exclaimed the enlightened lover, accepting the, new reading without demur. So hours afterward the colonel received the message: “Your orders are obeyed. We were joined at once.”

Taking Things Easy.

There is no small art in taking tk&gs rensufi 7 ’ them, and making no parade Jour martyrdom. If Mtakiag a fuss and Bnfurtawe inany way abated IDe iUfl lat tab and Mint are beir to, there w<iH be MM slight excuse for the folly nd 2 but luuea we cuniiai aww nA tribulations of one kind or another, ting only aggravates them. Either let us be silent and endure, or take arms against our woes, and by ctmtendttng end them. In general he who mskes no ado is supposed to have no troubles of his own, or an organization so inferior that it is not jarred out of tube by the rough usage of fortune: to make the very worst of every trouble, big or little, from the fracture of a teacup to that of asknlbia considered by manyajiroof of great sensibility and depth character, while he who pursues the other course, who endures reverses, sights, injuries, pin-pricks of annoyance, agues of anxiety, physical and mental neuralgias, without reporting them to every passer and howling his grievances into the ears of every listener, is often spoken of as of fibre too coarse to feel acutely and suffer keenly. “It is his temperament,” we are told. “He takes nothing to heart” Some one, however, wittily advises us, “Never tell your misfortunes ; nobody likes to have unfortunate friends f but in spite of this warning many seem to think that disaster itself is a recommendation to fevor; that they deserve a bonus for serving as a target for fortune’s arrows; and they are not seldom acutely jealous lost some other should be deemed their superior in suffering. In the meantime everyone has a welcome for the person who has the good sense to take things easy. It is comfortable to be able to agonise over one’s own trials, to a mind at leisure from itself." The person who can go Without her dinner and her spring suit and not advertise the tact; wbo can lose her purse and keep her temper; who makes light of a heavy weight, and can wear a shoe that pinches without any one being the wiser; wbo does not magnify the splinter in her finger into a stick of timber, nor the mote in her neighbor’s eye into a beam: wbo swallows her bitters without leaving the taste in other people’s mouths; who can rive up her own way without giving up the ghost; wbo san nave a thorn in the flesh and not prick all over her friends with it—such a one surely carries a passport into the good graces of all resu-

How to Increase Property.

lt is seldom advisable for women who have a sufficient income to attempt its increase by exchanges or investing it in business. But there are many whose Incomes are inadequate, and Who are under the necessity of increasing their incomes or . leaning on their friends. Supposing a woman iu these circumstances fe of an indapendeilt spirit, and resolves not to depend on the assistance of friends, my first suggestion to her would be to resolve that, coma what may, her nresent property shall hot l>e dhninished. And if to what she has she can, by eels-denial, and earnest effort, add something fromjUthe to time, the tide will at length turn in her favor. She may hear it whispered, “Molly Stark has taken up teaching, has become a governess, is copying law papers—quite a tumble.” Well, Mollie Stark fe not beholden to such, nor ever will be. Saving and laying up is the habit that succeeds. It seems to be in the blood of some families of both sexes alike to be independent Cost what it may of present self-denial, they will set the ball rolling that will grow into a round comfietence. How much better and happier is such a life in the long run than a life of supineness and semi-depend-ence -• A resolute woman is pretty sure to find one way or anotlier to do that which will lie remunerative, and her prospects for working out her pecuniary salvation are better than those of the average man in the same circumstances. Of course, her success all depends on losing no time and saving and laying up her earnings.

American Luxuries in England.

Six years ago ice was such a rarity in London that extra charges were made at the hotels if a glass of ice water was called for, and in most cases the guest had to wait until some could be sent for. An Englishman at that time considered ice water unhealthy, and looked with amazement at Americans who persisted in calling for it It was then not kept at the taverns, and it was seldom required. Now the waiters go around at the botels,with bowls of cracked ice and supply all the guests, without extra charge. That it is a recent innovation is evident from the fact that all the drinking houses in the city of any character, have cards extending across their windows, with the word “ICE” emblazoned in large black letters about fifteen inches long. It is evidently paraded as an attraction to customers. American whisky is also a new card in their windows. While dining in a restaurant the other day a young Englishman came in and called for “a go” of American whisky. They brought him about a half-tumblerful, which lie swallowed down raw. His led nose and watery eyes gave evidence that he was not a stranger to this kind of drink Turning to the bill of fare, we found the following rates : “A go” of brandy, one shilling; “a half-go” of brandy, sixpence ; “a go” of gin” four pence, and “a half-go” two pence. Gin ia the favorite drink of the topers, but whisky is commencing to rival it Ice wagons are also to be seen in the streets, labelled Newfoundland ice. It is of immense thickness, ranging from fifteen to twenty inches, and as clear as crystal.

The greatest eel-pond in America is on the farm of James N. Wells, in the town of Riverhead, Mass. It covers five acres, and is now so full of eels that they can be raked out with a garden rake. Two years ago Mr. Wells put 2,000 dozen of eels into the pond, intending to have them undisturbed for five years. These have increased to millions. They are fed regularly every third day on ‘'horse feet,” a peculiar shell-fish. The eels know when they are to be fed, and the stroke of Mr. Well’s whip against his wagon calls thousands of them up to dinner, altbopgh anyone else may pound away all day without any effect One of these shell-fish, fastened to a strong cord and thrown into the water, may be drawn out in a few minutes with hun-* dreds of eels clinging.to it

Thk K itch km Few things tend-so much to please and comfort, make all laboring for the family contented and comfortable, as a bright pleasant wellfurnished kitchen. In no other room in the house are sunlight and fresh, pure air so indispensable as in the room where some of the most important work must be done. A long, narrow, dark kitchen is an abomination. Ranges or cook stoves should not be placed opposite a door or window. A good ventilation is important over a range or cook stove, by which the steam and disagreeable odors from cooking can be carried off without pervading the house. Three large windows are always desirable, and for a very large kitchen four would be better.

A sour mind is a great evil. It is so to him who has it It embitters his life. It turns the light of life into darkness, its joys into sorrows. It is evil in its effects on the happiness of others. It breeds dissatisfaction and fault finding with every person and everything. It croaks of evil, not to remove or remedy it, but because it loves to croak. It pulls down, but never builds up. In the family, in the social circle, in the church, it is always complaining, detracting, destroying usefulness and happiness. It is difficult to conceive of a misery and worthlessness more pitiable than that of a man possessed of such a spirit.

Poisonous Gases in Houses.

- giis wnicn lorcw ilb way mrvugn hjc and onen fixed basins into that emanating from stoves. . Unless there is a free circuUion and an adequate supply of pure air in a bedroom occupied by one or more persons, the volume of air enclosed becomes very rapidly exhausted <rf its life-pre-serving properties, and proportionately charged with gases.of an opposite character. Hie mere breathing of the air takes from it the oxygen, and returns a volume of carbonic acra gas, which speedily assumes an undue proportion to the former, and renders the atmosphere absolutely dangerous to life. But there are other sources of danger that too frequently fail to be recognized, even by generally careful householders. These are the pipes leading from waterclosets, sinks and fixed wash-stand basins, to the house drain, and which often serve as the inlets by which that most deadly of poisons, sewer gas, enters dwellings. , It does not matter venr much whether the poison enters the hallway from a water-closet, the kitchen from a sink, or the bedroom from a fixed wash-stand basin, it will attack the sleeper in bis bedroom. Thousands of fatal cases of disease that are believed to be the result of contagion are really due to sewer-gas poison brought directly into bedrooms by the ways we have suggested. Another dangerous gas that must be guarded against in bedrooms is that emanating from stoves. During eold weather these stoves are much used as heaters in sleeping apartments, and through ignorance of the principles of combustion and ventilation, the carbonic acid gas given off fills the air with its poison. It is a hundred times safer to sleep in a cold bed room than in one heated by a badly-regulated stove. Open fireplaces obviate all danger, and serve as the best means of ventiuttion.

Type Setting in Japan.

It must be no joke to be employed in a Japanese printing office. In our own and most other countries of the world, except China and Japan, the language is written by means of an alphabet of separate letters. Among the Celestials and their next door neigubors f on the other band, each word has a distinct character. The compositor’s difficulties in either instance are obvious almost at a glance. In setting up this note, he has the letters conveniently arranged before him in what is known as the “case." But in Japan, according to an American contemporary a full font of type comprises 50,000 characters, of which 3,000 are in constant use, and for 2,000 more there are frequent calls. Instead of being compactly arrayed before him, the type is disposed about the composing room on racks, and the unfortunate compositor has to wander up and down the room,-setting his “copy” and stretching his legs, though he would probably be quite willing to dispense with the greater part of his enforced exercise. It is for the reason that it is impossible to apply the system of single character words to telegraphy, that that inestimable boon to civilization is apparently unavailable to the inhabitants of Japan and China.

One of the discoveries made by the latest Arctic explorers is that the length of the polar night is one hundred and forty-two days. “What a glorious place that would be,” says Brown, <; in. which to tell a man with a bill to call around the day after to-morrow and get his money!” A Sunday-school boy only six years old was asked by his ts®cher “why they took Stephen outside the city to stone him to death.” The little fellow was silent for a moment as though absorbed with the problem, when brightening up suddenly lie replied, “so that they could get a better crack at him.” . A lover who had gone west to make a heme for his “Birdie,” wrote to her — “I’ve got the finest quarter-section of land (160 acres) I ever put my foot down on.” Birdie wrote back —“Suppose you buy another quarter-section, John, so we can have a lawn around your foot.” John “made a home,” but Birdie never was the mistress of it. A paper of Middleton, Conn., tells the following stawr: farmer in tne neighborhood, having placed a pan of milk in a spring of water to cool over night, went there the next moring and found, it is solemnly asserted, instead of the pan of milk, a large bull-frog sitting in contemplat-ve mood upon a roll of fresh butter. The sole explanation is that the frog had jumped from the water into the pan, and in trying to extricate himself had, by diligent and continuous strokes of his long legs, churned the ffiilk into butter.’.’

A real mule was one of the attractions in the play of “The Forty Thieves,” as produced in Virginia city, Nev. The result is described by the Chronicle as follows: “No sooner had Ali come out of the cave with his bngs of wealth, and attempted to put them on the back of the beast, than he began his part of the Erformance. He let fly with his heels, eked the shavings (the supposed riches) out of the bags, kicked down the cavern ; kicked down the whole forest; kickec down the wings; kicked the end of the bass-viol, leaning against the stage, to pieces; Hmashed the footlights and finally doubled up Ali by planting both feet in the pit of his stomach. A rope was fastened around him and he was dragged off by the united strength of the company.

Home Made Vtneoab. —Steep a pint if good firm corn in two and a half gallons of water for two or three hours, and then put it on the fire and boil it antil the corn shows signs of bursting. Take it off before the grains do burst and strain off the liquor, adding half a pound of sugar to each gallon. Place the cask, or the jug containing it, in the sun, and in three weeks or a month the liquor will be converted into good vinegar. The writer tried this receipt, using molasses instead of sugar in ono case, but the sugar makes far the best vinegar. It is both good and cheap. Large quantities can be made by using proportionate quantities of com, water ana sugar.

The Rev. Dr. Prime, editor of the New York Observer, has been spending some months on the Continent of Ei> rope, and making; special inquiry into the drinking habits of the people. In ten months, during whidi he visited the chief cities of France, Germany, and Italy, where the universal tipple is light wine or beer, he saw just one person drunk. In one city of 55,000 inhabitants there was but a single arrest for drunkenness during forty days. The reverend doctor reaches the conclusion, which is not a discovery by any means, that drunkenness is the exception in the wine drinking countries of Southern Europe. “Fifty years hence„” said an old infidel, ‘people will wonder that there should ever have been a discussion about, a place of fature punishment.* “Yea,” respohded a clergy mart, “people who are now fifty years old will then no douot wonder that there should have been any need of discussing iL*

They know little Hebrew, that language having almost died out among them. Their mother tongue is the so-called Hindi, which is used in their scriptures and prayerbooks. They also possess a bible, which h not printed, but written. Of the holidays they only keep the Sabbath and the Passover, the Day of Atonement being entirely unknown to them. In the preparation of their food they differ from other Jews, as, during their three thousand yeanf separation from the rest of their co-religionists, nearly all their original customs and manners have died out They live separately, to this day, from the white Jews, as the latter do not regard them as actual descendants of the Jewish race. As an .answer to this the colored Jews boast of their letters of freedom given by an ancient king of India, and another one of King Tschandrackupta, who lived in the time of Alexander the Great. They do not call themselves “Jews,” but “Soos of Israel/’ and they maintain that they are in possession of a number of autograph prayer-books written by the patriarchs. They live in great poverty and are very ignorant, earning their living by working in the field and by day labor.

Its Effect.

A month before the bombardment of Fort Fisher began, the celebrated powder explosion occurred which was intended to blow down this solid earthwork, a mile in' extent, with forty feet traverses, every few yards. Its ridiculous failure is well remembered. That night after the explosion of the powdership, some pickets on the beach were captured and carried on board the Admiral’s ship. Among them was a very solemn looking fellow who sat silently and sadly chewing tobacco. As there was intense curiosity among the officers of the fleet to know the result of the remarkable experiment, one of them asked the solemn looking “Reb” if he was in the fort when the powder-ship exploded; to which he replied in the affirmative —but without exhibiting the least interest in the matter; whereupon the officers gathered around him and began to ask questions. “You say you were inside the fort?*’ "Yaas, I was tliar.” “What was the effect of the explosion?” “Mighty bad, sir—powerful bad?” "Well, what was it? Speak out.” “Why, stranger, hit waxed up pretty near every man in the fort I”

Watering Horses.

A work horse watered regularly three times a day can safely be allowed to drink as much as he wishes,-if the water be good and of moderate temperature. If the horse seems very thirsty and disposed to drink rapidly and in large quantitiy, it is well to check him after drinking a little, allowing him to slack his thirst by several separate draughts rather than by one. A horse much heated should not be allowed to drink at will. When it can be done conveniently, the comfort of the horses will be increased by having water in the field and giving them drink once or twice during each half day in hot weather. Several farmers who have tried it epeak highly of the plan of stirring a little oat or com meal in the water designed for work horses. It is better to do this a few hours before the water is to W used. Thus, in the morning, the meal may be stirred in water given the horse at noon. Care should be taken to keep the vessels used from becoming sour. A commotion was observed recently in a farmer’s wagon and a citizen advanced to discover that the farmer and his wife were having a regular old-fash-ioned domestic fight in the bottom of the wagon, while the horses were eating grass over the curb-stones. " “Here—what’s to pay?” shouted the citizen, as he climbed upon the wheel. “Fightin’!” gasped the woman, whose head was half buried in the straw. The farmer made no reply. His head was under the seat, one leg over the wagon-box, and he was clawing the air like a man whose lungs wanted more air.

“I should think you’d wait till you get outside the city to engage in such disgraceful conduct,” continued the citizen. “I know we orter,” replied the woman as she sat up, “but when I found six plugs of tobacco, a new dime novel and a pack of keerds in his bind pocket, and remembered how I had waited six months for a kaliker dress, I riz right up and tackled him on the spot I eouldrvt wait a moment then, mister, but now if you’ll check up that nigh boss I’ll drive along and renew the combat beyond the toll-gate!” , Lord Deas had some strawberries sent into town recently from his estate of Pittendreich. His lordship had fixed his eve upon two particularly large ones in a basket The next time he saw the basket they were gone. He enquired of his butler what had become of them, and the butler thinking he was accused of abstracting the strawberries, replied somewhat sharply to his lordship. A quarrel took place, and the butler got his leave. The butler brought an action against his lordship in the Small Debt Court for wages ana board wages. His lordship sent a message to the SheriffSubstitute to postpone the case till he could get off the bench and appear in person to defend it The Sheriff agreed, and his lordship duly appeared and pled his own case so successfiilly that the Sheriff assoilzied him from the action, and did not even give the butler the benefit of tlie wages he had earned up to the date of the dismissal. It turned out that the favorite strawberries had been appropriated by Lady Deas and her daughter. Dublin Bay.—To the great majority of English tourists the only gate of approach to the city is a water gate; Of Dublin Bay and its beauties so much has , been written and so many loose comparisons hazarded with Naples, Lisoon. Palermo, Bio Janeiro. New York and .Qther seaside we may pass them over as a matter of course. Still it is only bare justice to remark that to steam into Kingstown Harbor, with the morning mm lighting up the ciestaof the Dublin ana Wicklow Mountains, and stretching a silvery haze on sea and land as the mist slowly lifts off. and the shore line is seen dotted with buildings around a sweep of some ten or twelve miles, is to enjoy one of he most striking bits of bay scenery to be had any I

“Give me neither poverty nor riches,” said Agar: and this will ever be the prayer of the wise. Our incomes should belike bur shoes, 1f too small they will gall and pinch us, but if too large, they wiib cause us to stumble and to trip. Wealth after. all is a relative ‘thing, since he that has little and wants less, is richer than he that has much and wants more. True contentment depends not upon what we have; a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was to small for Alexander. The marked superority of women over men is on few points more remarkable than in their superior powers of smelling and tasting. A woman will detect, the faintest odor of tobacco when a man, even though a non-smoker, often fails to discover any symptom of it As with smell so with taste. Women are Aarvelously acute and fastidious in the matter of sauces and all flavoring ingredienta

Cheap Girls.

A writer in JfocnriUun’a Mazarine utters sundry wise suggestions which we commend to “our gins:” “A girl who makes herself too cheap is one to be avoided. No young man wants anything to do with a cheap young lady. For a wife, none but a fool will approach such a woman. Cheap jewelry nobody will touch if they can get better. Cheap girls are nothing.but the refuse, and the young men know it, and they will look m every direction for a life-long friend and companion before they will look at the pinchback stuff that tinkles at every turn for fascinating the eye of any that look. You think it quite the “correct thing” to talk loudly and coarsely, be boisterous and hoydenish in public places; to make yourself so bold, and forward, and commonplace everywhere that people wonder whether you ever had a mother, or a home, or anything to do. So be it You will probably be taken for what you are worth, ana one of these years if you do not make worse than shipwreck of yourself, you will begin to wonder where the charms are that once you thought yourself possessed of, and what evil spirit could nave befooled you.

“Look here, my fine lellow,” said the lecturer to the boy who was disturbing the orator by constantly coughing, “here’s A quarter to get a bottle of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup.”

The Romance of Death.

It is not a little singular that the Greeks have scarcely ever failed to make the deaths of their literary heroes as marvelous as their lives. Homer, they tell us, died of a broken heart, because he could not guess a riddle. As Horace had been warned by a witch that a chatterbox would be his death, so had Homer been warned by an oracle that he f ould be killed by a riddle. And his lt>y came. Seeing, or rather hearing, fe the tradition of his blindness is too universal to be discredited—some young fishermen in a boat, he asked them what sport they had ..si Fhey replied: “As many as we we left; as many as we could not ca’ct * e carried with us.” This was too much for the author of the Iliad. He guessed and guessed, till he could guess no longer, and finally died of sneer vexation. According to Gregory Nazianzen, Justin Martyr, and Eustathius, Aristotle went off in precisely the same way, because he could not understand a more interesting riddle set by nature, namely, the cause of the ebbing and flowing of the Eurfpus. “Since,” he indignantly exclaimed, “I can not conceive the Euripus, let the Euripus receive me.” Dlodorous, the ingenious inventor of the "horned” and “veiled” sophism, having met with his match in onq Stilpo, who “caught” him with anqfher sophism, which he was unable to solve, went home, wrote a book about it, and died of despair.

There is no trait more valuable than i determination to persevere when the •ight thing is to be accomplished. We ire inclined to give up too easily in try. njjor unpleasant situations, and the ftoint I would establish with .myself, if ftie choice was again within my grasp, Would be never to, relinquish my hold on a possible success if mortal strength or brains in my case were adequate to the occasion. That was a capital lesson which a learned professor taught one of his students in the lecture room after some chemical experiment The lights had been put out in the hall, and by accident some small article dropped on the floor from the professor’s hand. The professor lingered behind, endeavoring to pick it up. “Never mind,” said the student, “it is of no consequence to-night, sir, whether we find it or no.” “Thatjs true,” replied the professor, “but it is of grave consequence to me, as a principle, that I am not foiled in my determl nation to find it.” Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “There are only two creatures,” says Eastern preverb, “who can surmount tte_ pyramids —the eagle and the snail 1”

William Buckley, .a British soldier, convicted of receiving stolen property, or of being concerned in an attempt upon the life of the Duke of Kent, was sentenced to transportation to Australia for life. lie escaped, and fellin with a tribe of natives, with whom he resided thirty-three years without meeting a white man until he discovered a party of tourists, and saved them from a treacherous attack by a wandering band of native warriors. It is believed that he owed his safety to his gigantic size and ferocious appearance. .A more romantic explanation is that, having taken a spear from the grave of a dead chief, he was supposed by the natives to be. their leader come back to life iu a new* body. Buckley says that these people imagined the world was supported by props, which were in charge of a man who lived at the extremity of the earth, and that unless the props were renewec from time to time, the whole fabric would tumble to pieces.

Robert Burns’ nieces, Agnes and Isabella, reside near Ayr, Scotland. “They live,” says a tourist, “in a little low stone cottage with thatched roof. Everything idicates a lack of this world’s goods, yet is neat and artistic, with flowers and pictures all about the room. They entertained us with talks about their uncle, and showed us some letters which have never been published, and with true Scotch hospitality ottered us some cake of their own make —made of Australian flour which they had had in the house two years; and three kinds of wineone of their own make from grapes grown in their own little yard.” Many persons, when they find themselves in danger of shipwreck in the voyage of life, throw their treasures overboard, only to fish them up again when the storm is over.

An Unpleasant Youthful Recollection. From early youth I had been a sufferer with severe headache, writes C. W. Eck., esq., proprietor of the St Louis, Mo., St. Louis County Waechter. Many remedies, by the use of which I endeavored to obtain relief, proved ineffectual. At last some friends recommended the Hamburg Drops to me; and since I used them, I feel better than ever, and no sign of the old headache has appeared again.
