ACTIVE PURSUITS THE BEST CURE OF
GRIEF.-Grief, Of whatever measure it NAV
exist, will always be mos, obstinate and
dangerous in those unengaged in active pur-
suits, and who have consequently leisure to
brood over their troubles Bodily and men,
tai activity, and more especially, when the
result of necessity. must, by creating fresh
trains of association, and divering the
thoughts into new channels. tend to weak
en- the poignancy Of affection. Nothing in
truth, serves more effeclively to tighten the
calamities of life, than steady and interest,"
ing employment. 1t is, as we conceive for
the reason that females are generally cx-
empt from the cares and exciements Of hu-
sness, and confined at home to their own
relatively tranquil dommeslic dnlies. that
they so much oflener pine and sicken under
wounded affections than our own more active
and busy sex. Dr.. Good observes that
''suicide is frequent in the distress Of seges,
in the first alarm Of civil commo,ions, or
where they have subsidized into a state of
calmness, and the mischIefs they induced
are we'll pondered; but it seldom takes place
in the activity of a compaign, whatever may
be the fatigue, the priva.ions or the suffer-
ngs endured. On the fall of the Roman
empire, and Throughout the revolution of
France, self-destruction was so common at
home, as at last to excite but little attention.
1t does not appear, however, to have stained
the retreat of the ten thousand under Keno
phon, and according to M. Falre,. was rare
in the French army during its flight from
Moscow"

PUNCH'S MAXIMS MORALISED.

l. A cat may look at king-This is "A
very ancient maxim but if kings do not
take care, It will become obsolete, for though
it may be always true that cat may look
at king, the time may come when ca.
must look very sharp indeed to find ONE
We hope, nevertheless, that a cat may long
enjoy the privilege of looking a. Queen,
and tina, the feline animal may, ,hroughout
the whole Of its nine lives, have our owu
VICTORIA TO look upon.
2. itching teeth are III tenants-They
are indeed, and an ejectment is the best treat
ment such tenants should experience Stop
ping ough h. not to be allowed, for the tenants
will only become worse, and must evenlu-
ally be got rid of.
3. A conlen'ed mind IS a continual feast.
II may be SO; but it is somewha, of Bar
needles feast unless allied with more sub
s.anlial articles. Nevertheless, on the whole
we should be disposed to recommend men,
tai tranquility an naturel, in preference TO
many dishes of more substantial materials
a. Il fool and his money are soon parted.
II would seem, however, that they "part to
meet again." for the instances Of union be.
tween folly and wealth are very numerous.
5. A friend in need is a friend indeed
Is he indeed? Perhaps, he may be; but
the difficulty Of following the necessary di
reclion to first catch your FRIEND" renders
the testing of this maxim almost impossi-
bic. ....
6. A miss is as good as a mi1e.-Weknow
many Miss whose tongue is better than
mile, for there is really no end TO it. ?.
z. I'm hour in The morning is acorth taco in
the afiernoon.-It is probable that the au-
thor of this maxim was not frequenler Of
the Coal Hole, the Cider Cellars, or other
places of the same description, where an
hour in the morning would not have i'm
pressed him with any great idea of its supe-
rior value.
s. I'm oak is not fe1zed Nth one 6low.-It
is not; nor will it always remove when
civilly requested, for i! often requires good
deal of axing. Of antiquity is merit, this
remark must be as valuable-for it is
certainly nearly as old-as the maxim it.
