HEAVY AND WINDY.-A blacksmith @ho
fancicd himself sick, would often teaze a
neighboring physician to give him relief
The physician knew that he was perfectly
we'll; but being unwilling to offend him,
told him that he must be careful OF his diet
and not eat anything heavy or windy The
blacksmith went of satisfied-but on evol-
wing in his own mind what kind of food was
heavy or windy, returned to the doctor, who
having lost temper with his patient, said
"Don't ycu know what things are heavy and
windy 2" "No," said the blacksmith
"Why, then, I'll tell you" says the doctor.
Nour anvil is heavy and your bellows are
windy; don't eat of these, and you will do
we'll.

g A GREAT COUNTRY FOR LAZY MAN.
DIR. Mclean, in his lectures on Nicaragua,
on Monday night, drew picture of what

was not disposed to waste time in labor, and
yet wished to live independently. The
Government gave him two hundred and

was for house. This want was quickly

TRUTH WE'LL UTTERED.-ln his speech
upon the occasion of the death of Judge
Bayly, Mr.. Millson said:
elbow often is it said that life is but
dream-a shadow! This cold and mischiev-
Gus dogma of false philosophy Is sometimes
even offered to our acceptance as religious
truth. Sir, do not SO read the lesson of
human life No, sir, let us rather believe
that we are in the midst of dread realities.
Let us understand that we have already en-
tered upon that course of being of whose
duration, though there be but little this side
of the grave, there still shall be no end
that we have commenced to act their several
parts, and that of all we do and say and
think, nothing shall be lost, nothing blottcd
out Let us know that each idle and un-
considered word will bear its own account to
the Eternal Judgment Seat; and then shall
we begin to have juster conceptions OF our
duties and our responsibilities.

tF- The desire to be rich is not an evil If
itself. Ii is nonsense for a man to stand up
and disclam the desire for wealth, and urge
upon the world the idea that il should be
poor. Money is neither an evil nor good
of itself; it has not a moral character il il
simply an agent, and whether it be good or
evil, depends upon the manner in which il is
used. Ii is like sword. Whether sword
be in the hands of Benedict Arnold, bathed
in his country's blood, or in the hands of II
Washington, welded for justice and liberty,
il is a sword only, and has not Character
Whether it be an instrument for good or
evil, depends upon the character of him who
Folds the hiIt, and not upon the sword itself.
So IL is with money !, is an agent; i, is u
gigantic motive power that .honders round
the world. II the Devil stands engineer, it
thunders on, freighted with untold mischief,
scattering oppression, and crueiy,an wrong.
But If it is guided by the spirit of love and
truth, II is like the sun, shedding light and
summer upon the world. 1t is an angel of
mercy and love, when directed by the spirit
of charity. 1t is the duty of the pulpit, then,
to direct and instruct in the use of wealth,
and not preach against it. ,a .a

sla"Above all we ought to drive from our
shores foreign influence and cherish an Amer

diced eye has everything in false colors. The
thick atmosphere Of prejudice, by which it is
ever surrounded, excluding ironiit sight the
liuht of reason"
