ArrLEs As Foop.-This fruit is exceeding
" abundant this year, and as conS'q qucncc,
the price of it is reasonable. The working
people in our cities do not aS n general thing,
regard apples as food, but merely as a luxu-
ry; this is especially the case with our for.
eign population. But apples are not cstma-
ted according to their real value as an article
of food they hold low rank in the estma-
ton of most persons in comparison with po-
tatocs, so far as it relates to their nurtive
qualities, whereas the best qualities Of ap.
pies are perhaps superior. In Cornwall,
England the peasantry consider ripe mellow
apples superior to potatoes as food, and near
" equal TO wheaton bread. In many parts
of Europe the laboring people eat sliced ap.
pies with their daily bread, and make hear
ty, healthy meal OF them. The finest apples
in the world are raised in the United States,
and the working people in our cities would
do well to use more of them for food, espc-
cially during the fall and winter seasons,
when they can be obtained cheap. We hope
yet TO be able to eat apples during the
midst of summer Cat fair and reasonable pri.
ces,) as sweet in flavor and rich in nulr men,
AS when plucked from the tree. Much atten.
ton is now directed TO their perfect prescr'
vation during summers heat and winters

Goop.--A man who is very rich now, was
very poor when he was boy. When asked
how he got his riches, he replied: My
father taught never to play till my work was
finished, and never to spend my money till
had earned it. If had butan hours work
ing day, | must do that the very first
thing, in AN hour. After it was done was
allowed to play with much more pleasure
than an unhishcd task obtruded upon my
mind early formed the habit of doing
everything in turn, and it soon became per.
fectly easy to do so. 1t is to this owe my
prosperity Let every boy who reads thir
go and do likewise.
