How to Eat Wisely.

II practice makes perfect, mankind

We, the following excellent advice, from
DR.. Halls (ever suggessave) .Ned,ea!
Journal, contains wisdom that wall be
new to most people:
!. Never sit down TO table with an
anxious or disturbed mind, better 4
hundred fold, interim, that meal, for there
will be that much more food for hungrier
s,omachs than yours; and besides eating
under such circumstances can only, and
will always, prolong and aggravale the
condition oi things.
2. Never sit down to meal under any
intense mental effort, for a physical and
mental injury is inevitable, and no man
has righ. deliberately TO injure body,

Never go 10 full table during bodily
exhaustion designated by some, as

you can do under such circumstances Is
10 take cracker and cup Of warm tea,
either black or green, and no more. In
ten minutes You will feel n degree of re-

thus allowing tho body, aud by safe de-

in couple of hours, you may take full
meal, provided il does not bring It later
than two hours before sun dswn; il later
then take nothing that day in addition to
the cracker and tea, and the next day you

Wha, is contentmenta The philosophy
OF life, and the principal ingredient OF
the cup OF happiness; commodity that is
undeIvalued, In consequence oil the very

Wha, is happiness? A butterfly that
roves from flower TO flower IN the vast
garden of existence, and which is eager
~ pursued by the multitude in the vain
hope Of obtaining the prize, yet 1t con-

What is ambition? A fierce and un-
conauerable steed, that bears its rider
onward in the high road 10 preierment;
but it ollenlimes throws him such tall

What is crime! A wretched vagabond

companion OF poor innocence, which II
made to suffer for the guilty.

Beyond the River.

There is river deep and wide;
And while along its banks We stray,
see our loved ones DER its tide
Sail from our sight, away, away.
Where are they sped, they who return
No more to glad our weepin eyes.
They've passed from lifes contracted bourne,
10 land unseen, unknown, that lies
Beyond the river.
lls hid from view but We may guess
How beautiful that realm must be;
For gleaMings of its loveliness
In visions granted oft we see
Thevery clouds that o'er i. throw
Their veil upraised for mortal flight
With gold and purple tintings glow,
Rejecting from the glorious light
Beyond the river.
And gentle airs, SO sweet and calm,
Steal sometimes from that viewless sphere;
The mourner feels their breath of calm,
And soothed sorrow dries the tear.
And sometimes listening ear may gain
Enhancing sound that hi:her hoat
The echoes OF distant strain
Of harps and voices blended notes,
Beyond the river.
There are our loved ones in their rest;
They've crossed times river--now no more
They heed the bubble On its breast,
Nor feel the storms tn at lash its shore
But there pure love can live and last
They look for US their home to share;
When we in turn away have passed,
What joyful greetings wait us there,
Beyond the river.

Diodorus. there was mode Of preserva-

could be recognized by their form and

Risfrg IN the World. Experience continual
" contradicts the notion that poor young man
cannot rise. II we look over the list Of rich men
In Phiisdelphia We find that nearly sn Of them

this city country lad, almost penniless. What
10 true Of Philadelphia Is true also, of New York
and Boston. Astor began with nothing. Abb
bot Lawrence had only pair Of stout hands, q
willing heart, and good character for his orig-
nal capital. To any person familiar with the
similar examples will occur. On the other hand,
the sons of rich men, who began life with the
capital which 90 many poor young men covet,
frequently die beggars 1t would not be proba-
bly, going too tar to say that large majority Of
such monied individuals either fail outright. or
gradually eat up the capital with which they
commenced their career. And the reason is
plain. Brought up In expensive habits, they
expend entirely too much. Educated with high
notions of personal Importance, they will not. as
they phrase it. 'stoop to hard work" Is il as.
tonishng, therefore, that they are passed in the
race OF life by others with less capital original

these virtues after all, are worth more than
money. They make money, Ia fact. Nay, after

than the making. The young man who begns
life with the resolution always to lay by part ci
his income, is sure, even without extraord nary
ability, gradually to acquire .uficiency, especi
ally habits Of economy, which the resolution
renders necessary, will make that competence
for him which would be quite insufficient for q
