PUSH ON.

The following exrac. from the wri-
tings of John Neal, may have met the
eyes Of many of OUT readers before but
is worth repeating, and the truths it
conveys are worth remem bering:
There are people who, having be-
gun life by setting their boat against
the wind and tide, are always complai.
ming of their bad luck, and always Just
ready to give up, and for that very rea.
son always helpless and good for moth
ing yet, if they would persevere, hard
as 1t may be TO work up stream all life
long, they would have their reward at
last. Good voyages are made both
| ways.
A certain amount of opposition is a
great help to man. Kites rise against,
not with the wind. Even head wind
is better than nothing. No man ever
worked his voyage any where in dead
calm. The best wind for anything. in
the long run, is side. fit blows aft,
nov is he to get back9
Let no man, therefore, wax pale be.

what he wants, and must have. to

lie who but braces himself u2 for
the struggle, when the wind blows,
gives up when they are done, and falls
asleep in the stiffness that follows.
Did you ever know any body to stick
to any kind of business, no matter how
unpromising, ten years at most, who
did not prospect No matter how bad
it might be at the beginning, if he stuck
to it earnestly and faithfully, and MOTH

BEDS IN INDIA.

A person would imagine that every
body is very 6dgetty at night, and rolls
and losses about great deal in the
very hot weather. 10 render our
selves more comfortable at such times,
we have number Of pillows of all
shapes and sizes, and hardness, scat
tered about the beG. AT one roll you
lay your leg on one and your arm on
another, and then you turn TO the
other side, and then throwing your feet
on to one pillow, YOU hold another fast
under your arm: that won't do, and you
roll over on your back, with one pill
low under your knee and another under
each arm, anG so on through the night
81 assure you,'' says Mr.. Acland,
that however absurd it may appear,
this multiplicity Of pillows is very
great comfort on very hot nj ghts, al
though when you awake you certainly
very often find yourself and them in
very funny positions .Atheneum.

CURE FOR A COLD.

Who is there that is not troubled
sssh this affection just about this time
of mnggy weather? Who goes moi
about wheeling, snuflling, sneezing,
expectorating, barking, rafting, cho-
hing, grulnbling and snarling? To
such we would say, peruse the follow
ing advice which is almost as old as
the days of Hermes Trismegistus:
''Put your flutes in hot water,
As highe as your thghes;
Wrappe your heade up in fiannelle
As lowe as your eyees:
Take quartz Of runid gruelle,
When in bedde, as dose,
With number of four dipee,
Well tallow your nose. '-Erchmge.

Two lines Of il, when Regina rushed
from the crowd, began TO sing it also,
and threw herself into her mother
arms. They both wept for joy. and
the colonel restored the daughter to her
mother. There was no one 10 own
the other li:tle girl; and as she cung to
Reg ina, and would not let her 60, the
mother took her also to her home.
AS soon as Regina came home, she
inquired for "he book IN which God
speaks to u.s. Her mother unfor,u-
nately was destitute of that treasure,
having lost everything when the ma
tIves burnt the house. A Bible, how.
ever, was presented to her, when ap-
pIlca,ion was made at Philadelphia.
and it is remarkable that Regina had
so retained her early instructions that
she was enabled to read Immediately
when the precious book was banded to
her. Related By tie Rec. Mr.. Rome,
