OuTwcrriNO A I^AIUV.—Many and mmiy years ago, before the clanging cliurelfbolls of Sweden had frightened tho funny little dwarfs upon tho hills, the elves from the groves, and tho beautiful mermaids and mermen from the lakes and rivers, a farmer lived in his simple cottage near the side of a hill.

He had lived hero a long time, quite content with raising corn and vegetables upon tho plain portion of his farm, without disturbing the hill. But at longth tho spirit of enterprise reached oven that quiet spot, and one spring morning tho farmer began_ to plow up the hillside.

Ha had scarcely plowed a single furrow, when a dwarf stepped out from bo- ... j£0

Well, vou know it now?" "Yes am delighted to make your acquaintance. But it seems foolish to let this ground lie idle when it might bo made profitable to us both. Permit me to plow and sow and reap upon the hill, and one year 3-011 shall havo what grows above tho ground, and I will take what grows under, and tho next year you shall take what grows under, and I what grows above."

Tho hill dwarfs wero doubtless less crafty than the human race and as the ono now alluded to could soo 110 reason why this proposition was not quite fair ami honorable, lie readily assented to it.

As tlio dwarf appeared entirely satisfied with the arrangement, they lived together in great harmony over after.

WOMEN ARE NOT MAGNANIMOUS. What women in civilized countries mostlv want is magnanimity. M011 of high mliuls are constantly disappointed when they find this lack of the magnanimous revealing itself in tho character of some woman who otherwise seems so admirable. But men have hitherto, in Eurojw especially, so shaped and limited tho moral training of women a* to render magnanimity a virtue of almost impossible attainment. The errors o: women aro in their degree almost always the common errors of servitude. But there is something more than that. The whole training of women is directed to the culture merely of one virtue. It is not indispensable or even necessary to a woman's honor and repute that she should be truthfuU or generous, or benificen?, or brave. She lias no need or inducement to cultivate the magnanimous qualities. Society onlv asks her to bee haste. If you cnlt'ivate" but one tlowcr, you cannot have a parterre^ In days not far removed from our own. a man was only called upon to be brave and trutnful— he irti-lu le as ferocious and voluptu oils as ho chose therefore, his common

When the spiritual body is raised-in

When two persons havo similar affections, th«*y are near together. Spiritual consanguinity can alone produce companionship tliere. At death, no man enters heaven at once, but remains in the intermediate state. There the angels try to draw him out of the evils he has acquired on earth. If interior goodness and truth predominates in his soul, he is gradually regenerated. If interior evil and falsehood predominate, the soul comes under the influence of evil angels. In this state, those who havo been friends and acquaintances in i? life ot the body meet and recognize teh other but those who pass from lis intermediate state see oa'ch other *0more, unless they arc of a similar disposition or love.

he is doublr doubly cautioij peri once. he will go aWflit nilKing avray I it of that firm or person which may chance to be his particular rival. He will confidentially say that he has heard that the firm is in difficulties, and that it is going to bo' wound up, or that his rival is incompetent, not altogether straightforward, or something equally unsatisfactory. He will insidiously draw a comparison between himself and liis unfortunato rival, 6f course^ to the unequivocal^ disadvantage of the latter. Dr, he will hint that^iis rival has openly triumphed because he has outwitted^ or is going to outwit, the person to whom he (thosueak) is talk' ing. In fact, he will do all he can to injuriously malign the absent "wight, and he will do this in such a way that you cannot llatly contradict him, or mako him, in any way, legally answerable for the slanders heTias been uttering, wore you disposed to do so. Ho does so much by inference, expresses such an infinitude of meaning by a look, a grimace, or a sigh. If he is more than usually clover he will "damn with faint praise." In liia sneaking way he will bo so pitying, and v«t, withal, so condemnatory. In conversation ho affects the gushing style. But, with all his "gush," ho tells vou very little, and when you havo finished a conversation of an hour's duration with him you find that you know just as much as you did before about liis affairs, and no more. You also find, however, that you havo told liini many things which you had no intention of doing. Ho has learned that you aro liard-up, and how you managed*to form a business connection with a remarkably good firm. This is, of all things, tho last you desired to toll him for you know that it is quite within tho bounds of possibility that he may adopt the vorv course pursued by you, and succeed in working you out and himself

in, which, to say tho loast, would be decidedly unpleasant. Ho has, also, drawn from you many of tho serai-so-crets of your past life, that is to say, things which vou only tell to your most trusted friend's. You havo told that onco upon a tinio you wero foolish and inclined to bo "fast that you carried v? on a flirtation with a pretty little barmaid, and wero onco caught in tho act of kissing hor and that onco at a supper given by a friend who was leaving England, you drank more champagno than you ought havo done. He deftly 4-v prompts you to tell more, and, depend AS upon it, if he'remains long enough with you, and, unless you openly quarrel with him, you will te)' him more. You will tell liini things i'«.r which afterwards you will bo very sorry. It is a great art. that of being "gushing" and yet telling nothing, but, at tlio ~J.' same "time, drawing from your companion 1)h-that which he has to tell. Yes, it is a very grewt art, and only a sneak can practice it successfully. Anyone who has ever been subjected to^ this "pumping" process has ample time to regret his mis-placed confidence. Tho sneak is always, more or less, busy. Your admission, that you were hard up, is construed into a tacit declaration ol insolvency, and, for tho rest, you aro set down as a blackleg, a roue, and a sot. So much for your simple admissions, anent the barmaid and the champagne. TMJCO good ad vice and beware of those individuals vffto learn everyth!»grtbotit ,, you and tell nothing about themselves in return who', in facto, only renay your confidence by whispering scandal about, your lricnds. The sneak is very great at inciting working men to disaffection. ji Ho is the mover in most strikes, for by taking up the working man's cause, ho may, perhaps, bo appointed secretary, coiriniittec-inan, or elected to fill some other equally easy and lucrative post, and that is much better than being a .ffl mere laborer. But forhim half tho disputcs between master and men would bo settled amicably.

And what a lot of sneaks there aro in t!^ world. What a comparative paradise it would be could they be instantly crushed out of existence. Friends could remain friends, then, and tliere would not bo so many disagreeable stories, refleeting on one's credit and and reputation, floating about. Tho lovers of scandal might regret this, but, then, they would still find enough to talk about. But sneaks cannot bo crushed nut of existonco. We hav# to tolerate them. They nro careful rarely to givo us absolute eauso of offence. They atab us, and we cannot tell who has stabbed us. What is to be done then? Let .aw them, as far as possible, bo avoided. If you do not feel yourself NUlUeiontly strong to encounter ono in a verbal encounter, without committing yourself, whon you-see him bearing down upon you in the street, turn down a bye-lane, an entry, or even pop into a pub——, no, don't do that, for if you do, ho will report that you aro a confirmed drunkard, and frequent public houses at all hours of tho day. But do get out ot his path. Ho will do no good—ho may do you harm at anyrate, ho will try to do so, for it is his policy to raiso himself by pulling down other people. IJ ho will persist In getting in your way— why. cut liini dead.

EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL.

Tbo effects of alcohol havo recently been tested in London, by experiments upon a healthy soldier. The course ol treatment was as follows:

For tho first six days no alcohol was given for tho next six days from one to eight ounces of alcohol per day wero given, in divided doses lor tho next six days wateralone: and then for three days twelve oimecs of brandy containing four per cent, of aleohol. I he results are reported to bo as follows: No appreciable difference was perceived in tile weight during the course ol experiments, but the temperature of the body was slightly raised, 'liicpulso vns materially affected, raised from ,~J, beats per minute before taking the aleohol, to *M.l after taking the largest dose.

Kstiinating the normal daily work 01 the ventricles of the heart as equivalent to the lifting of V£1 tons a loot. it was found that durinu the alcoholic period, the heart was compelled to lift an excess of 1 a.H tons, and during the last two davs of 2-1 tons. The conclusion arrivcl at was, that alcohol is utterly useless in health, and positively injurious in larger quantities than two ounces dailv. There, however, seems to be indicated an advantage in Its use if employed iu raising a feebler appetite o«" exciting a feebler heart.
