clear, though for myself one o'clock is the best hour but in reference to the omission of thp third meal, I have, after long observation, no doubt whatever.

Hundreds of persons have come to me with indigestion in some of its many forms, and have experienced such relief in a single week from omitting the supper, that I have, for a number of years, depended upon this point in the diet as the best item in my prescriptions tor indigestion. I have never met one person suffering from indigestion, who was not greatly relieved

Cooked fruit is best for persons of weak digestion. I have met hundreds of people who would digest a large beof steak without a pang, but who could not manage a single uncooked apple.

I think certain dietic reformers have somewhat overrated the value of fruit. Avoid cake, pie. all sweetmeats, nuts, raisins and candies.

Manage your stomach as above, and at the end of ten years you will look back upon these table habits as the source of great advantages and happiness.

For thirty years I have been a constant and careful observer (I have no hobbies about diet), and in the light of my own experience and these long observations, I assure you that the table habits I have advised, are vital to your health and happiness.

Pimples, blotches, yellow spots, nasal catarrh, biliousness, liver torpidity, constipation, sleepiness, dullness, low spirits, and many other common affections would general!}' disappear with the adoption of these rules.—Dio Lewis, in1'Our Girls."

THE INFLUENCES OF LIFE. What a difficult thing it would be to sit down and try to enumerate the different influences by which our lives have been affected—influences of other lives, ot art, of nature, of place and circumstance—of beautiful sights passing before our eyes, or painful ones seasons following in their course—hills rising on our horizons—scenes of ruin and desolation—crowded thoroughfares —sounds in our ears, jarring or harmonious—the voices of friends, calling, warning, encouraging—of preachers

too fat, use the

last named two. Drink cold water, or a little weak coffee.

DINNKH.

Ileef or mutton, roasted dV stowed, with any vegetables you may like (though tomatoes should be used very sparingly), ^ood bread and butter, and close the meal with a glass of weak lemonade. Kit no dessert, unless it be a little fruit, and eat nothing more till the next morning.

There Is no rule in regard to diet about which I am so fixed in my convictions, as that nothiifg should be eaten after dinner, and I think that the dinner should be taken early in' the day not later, if it can be so managed, than two o'clock. In regard to the pre ciso hour for tlio dinner, I am not so

What trains of thought go sweeping through our brains Man seoms a strange and illkept record of many and bewildering experiences. Looking at oneself—not as oneself, but as an abstract human being—one is lost in wonder at the vast complexities which have been brought to bear upon it lost in wonder, and in disappointment, perhaps, at the discordant result of so great a harmony. Only we know that the whole diapason is beyond our grasp one man cannot hear the note of the grasshoppers, another is deaf when tho cannon sounds. Waiting among these many echoes and mysteries of every kind, and light and da'rknesg, and life and death, we seize a note or two of the great symphony, and try to sing and occause these notes happen to jar, wo think all is discordant hopelessness.

as they pass by. Perhaps this is in. life the happiest of all experience, and to few of 'us there exists any more complete ideal. And so now and then in our lives, when we learn to love a. sweet and noble ohrracter, we all feel happier and better for the goodness and charity which is not ours, and yet which seems to belong to us while we are near it. Just as some people and states of mind affect us uncomfortably, so we seem to be true to ourselves with a truthful person, generous-mind-ed with a generous-nature life seems less disappointing and self-seeking when we think of the Just and sweet unselfish spirits, moving untroubled among dinning and distracting influence. These are our friends in the best and noblest sense. We are the happier for their existence—it is so much gain to us. They may have lived at some distant time, we may never have met face to face, or we may have known them and been blessed by their love but their light shiues from afar, their life is for us and with us in its generous example their song is for our ears, and wc hear it and love it still, though the singer may be lying dead. Some women should raise and enable all those who follow after—true, gentle and strong and tender, whom "to love is a liberal education," whom to have known is a blessing in our past. Is not the cry of the children still ringing in our ears as when the poet first uttered her noble song f—Miss Thackeray.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The confession of the defhulting paymaster Hodges is certainly an ingenuous document. Listen to the pitiful story:

I believe it is really a relief to be discovered for I have been in a hell on earth lor years, and the alternations of hope and fear I have gone through and constant care to avoid detection, were becoming too strong. I desire to turn over the property I have as a small set-off against niy deficiency, and after giving any information that will assist in settling my accounts or if possible, in recovering a portion of what I have lost I expect to take the full punishment awarded for my offence. In justice to two parties in this city through whom I have made some speculations, I wish to say that thev are perfectly innocent of any knowledge that I was using public funds. There are small balances with each of these parties to my credit whenever tho accounts are closed. The losses I made were almost ontirely in New York with one house there whose accounts I hold subject to your order. I endeavored to induce them to make good the amount lost with them which they knew was public money, but they have refused.

MRxfoiYowes us a large bill, and it is proposed that wo tiike another large slico of her territory in payment of tho claim she has no money*to settle—a slice so large that we shall have lo pay her a round sum, which will give her impccunious politicians pocket money for a few months. This is the modern way of paying ancient debts, and absorbing nations which it would bo inconvenient and discreditable to conquer. But then we are so crowded with inhabitants and cramped for el-bow-room that we must enlarge somewhere and if we cannot have Canada nor San Domingo we must have Mexico. Some people imagine that it is our manifest. des}iny to foolp.— Golden A
