Fast Eating.

A writer in late number of the chronological
Journal, upon the application of epicurean philo-
sophy, concludes as follows
Sometimes, when see men boiling down their
food in such hot haste, feel like exclaiming,
What pity that man, who ought to be the wisest
Of Gods creatures should thus violate every die
tate of wisdom and organic law, and poison his
system by suffering, until he becomes a poor, bro
ken hearted dyspeptiO:
Lesyour present suferings teach you how to eat
in ture or if you are too idiotic to learn sin and
suffer on, and be miserable still; and let it be for
ever remembered that no man does or can suffer,
until or unless he has sinned. 10
Z" But" it is objected, have tried my utmost
to refrain from fast eating, and find myself una
bic to do So" Then try the rule involved in this
article. You mistake, by surprising that you are
to restrain this gOrmandizing propensity by force
of will. You take the wrong means This, 50
desirable an end, is to be attained first, by dis
missing all thoughts of business from your mind.
when you sit down to the table, sitting down iust
to enjoy the luxury of the present hour; disnis-
sing every thing else, put yourself into a calm
state, and, stopping short, eat not mouthful un-
til your Hurried fever has cooled down.
You do not feed your horse when in q period Of
excitement; then why feed yourself when over ex-
cited, either by business or muscular labori Cool

viii, ofitself, draw of your mind from your bus
iness haste; Whereas you sit down in your hur-
risd state Of mind, and do not direct your atten-
ton to flavor, NJ earthly power can prevent your

How TO LAY UP MONEY FOR RAINY
DAY.-A number Of years ago, Charles
and Clara S-were married in the city
of New York. Charles was wealthy and
in good business-very comfortable cir
cumstances for a young man, which ten
dered of course to develope his naturally
liberal disposition. Feeling thus happy
and independent of tho worlds frowns,
he proposed to his youthful bride one day
during the honey moon, to give her FIVE
Thousand dollars for every " Scion of. his
house" which should be engrafted upon
the family tree-an arrangement, as may
be supposed to which the lovely Clara
made not the slightest objection. Time
passed on,--Charles faithfully performing
his agreement and making no inquiries as
to the disposition of her money by his bet
ter half, until they had been married some
ten years; fortune which had smiled with
constancy, suddenly turned her back and
left him apparently high and dry among
the breakers of Wall Street. When the
crisis had arrived, he went home with a
heavy heart to announce the news to his
wife, that he was an irretrievably ruined
man-that his property had all gone to
satisfy his creditors and nothing was left.
" Not exactly SO bad as that my dear, :"
said Clara. "Wait q minute, and see
what have been doing" Thus saying,
she ran up stairs, and soon returned with
a deed in her own name, of one half of an
elegant block of houses in the neighbor-
hood, worth thirty thousand dollars. You
see l have been Industrious continued
she, and have laid up something for a
rainy day. If you had been as smart as
your brother, we might have had the
whole block by this tine.-Kenne5ec Jour

HAppIEsr SEASONAL festival party
of old and young, the question was asked,
which season of life is the most happy?'
After being freely discussed by the guests,
it was referred for answer to the host,
upon whom was the burthen of fourscore
years. He asked if they had noticed a
grove of trees before the dwelling, and
said: When the spring comes, and in
the soft air the buds are breaking on the
trees, and they are covered with bios
SONS, think how beautiful is Spring !
And when the summer comes and covers
the trees with its heavy foliage, and sing
ing birds are among the branches, l
think. How beautiful is Summer When
autumn loads them with golden fruit, and
their leaves bear the gorgeous tint of
frost, think Howbeautiful is Autumn!
And when it is sere winter, and there is
neither foliage nor fruit, then 1 look up
through the leaAesss branches, as never
could until now, and see the stars shine

SUPERFICIAL KNowLEDGE.-The pro-
foundly wise do not proclaim against SUI
perfcial knowledge in others, so much as
the profoundly ignorant; on the contrary
they would rather assist it with their adj
vice than overwhelm it with their con-
tempt, for they know that there was a
period when even Bacon or Newton
were superficial, and that he who has a
little knowledge is far more likely to get
more than he who has none. When the
great Harvey was whIpped at school for
an experiment upon a cat, his orbilius
could not foresee in the little urchin that
he. was fsggellating the future discoYerer
of the circulation of the blood. And the
progress of the mind in science, proves
herself 10 experiment: When the air
balloon was FIST discovered, some one
flippantly.a asked DR.. Franklin What was
tha use of it? The doctor answered this
question by asking What is the use of
a new born infant? it may become a man.
