IIFE-WASTE

Ifone should start out on a long journey with
just gold pieces enoug to pay his way 10 the
end, and should know that there was hole
in his purse, from which at every step some
portion of his treasure was dropping away
if one should have cask Of rare ambrosial
wine, beaker full of which each day would
thrill him with fresh life and energy, and
which he could not have rehlled, and should
know that drop by drop it was distiling
through the cask and wasting slowly hour by
hour-if one should be upon the broad ocean
with no prospect of the land being reached
for months, and should lavish the fresh water
from his small store in willess extravaganza
for necessary purposes and exhaust his supply
while far out on the brackish waves such an
one would be called improvident, if by no
harsher name. He would scarcely be pitied
for sufferings so wilfully incurred.
Yet how many do we see, day by day,
recklessly, foolishly, wickedy drawing upon
the store of health which God has given to
last them their life time !.-because the pieces
are small that slip away, they imagine they
will not be missed, and are bankrupt before
the journey is half made because the wine
ebbs away in drops they hatter themselves the
cask will always be full because cold water
is SO simple and so abundant thing, they
think it can never come to an end. Bat they
have no right to trespass upon our sympa-
this in seeking solace for the ills thus careless
ly incurred. Waste not want not, I" is in
nothing more true than in health, Each debt
that we make with the future will be exacted
with interest.
Many a woman knows that daily walk in

which her present course of life will burden
with suffering, but she has no. energy suf-

man knows that his late hours, his undue
work, or his tobacco, brandy, and rich din
ners are making fearful drafts upon the pure,
refreshing fountain of health which was given
to last him safely across the ocean of life
But he lost the stream flow away neglected,
and if he is burned with pal ching thirst, with

ruptly terminated by such folly, who shall be

Two-th..ds of the sickness in the world

ting on the floor to them, and then lying
down myself, to watch their little red tongues
rapidly go out and in? So rapid was the
motion they'd give them, that they seemed
to be out all the time they were tapping the
milk. How little they cared for me then
They didn't seem to know that was down

of the fact, though, by giving their noses
sudden dip into the milk. They were then
obliged to Look up and sneeze once or twice
before taking more milk, 1t was cruel in me,
perhaps, but wanted satisfaction in some
way, I suppose. 1 like to hear cat
sneeze.
1 hardly know what is in it that makes me
laugh, but there is, really, something very
ludicIous in i'll guess it must be, in part
the diminutiveness Of the sneeze and almost
wholly, in the expression of surprise on the
countenance of the cat after the convulsion.
l don't believe they enjoy a sueoze, as well
as we do. How amusing it is to hear cat
scold? Their appearance is decidedly lud-
crous when they get their "backs up"-and
then to hear that long, deep, ominous growl,
which eLds as abruptly as a piece of opera
music, with a sudden-"spit" What ter
ribly wild aspect they then present? 1t takes
them long time to appear natural again
Cats scold as naurally as some women; but
unlike them, Sometimes they never DO it
without reason--generally from fright--or
for instance, when that elongated appendage
which is fartherest from the nose, is slightly
stepped-on, or caught accidentally in the
door. Some are SO barbarous as to rejoice
at such casualties. They ought to be more
charitable, for, doubtless it hurts 1t is very
rare, at such times, that they get soothing
words, with camphor applied to the pinched
part, at the same time. Cats are very mu
scal creatures. And if being musical is {
sure indication of happiness, they unboubta
bly, lead happy lives. They make no bolster
Gus, distressing noises when they sing; pu
on no contemplate airs-'Tis not all a vain
idle show, with them. Feelings from th,
heart, seemingly, prompt them to sing, ant
they sing accordingly. They all sing th'
same simple .tune-one that their fore father
sung before them.
There are many other peculiarities of th
cat which it would be pleasure for me t.
enlarge upon here, but time will not admit

GRAHAM FLOUR.

In tie New England Farmer, for June 49,
th, 1855, an article appears, which lauds the
merits of Graham flour. 1t is signed "a
Grahamite of twenty Years Standing" Now,
we are not Grahamite, nor a vegetarian.-
For we once made somewhat effective ex-
pertinent in these reform matters, and we
found the system to work poorly IN our own
case, and in the cases of several of our friends.
We therefore abandoned it, and have enjoyed
better health ever since. But we have tried,
also, bread made of unbolted -four, and We
have found it great comfort. Especially for
those of sedentary habits, it is almost an en-
tire preventive of dyspepsia, and its associa-
ted ills. Itis, however, mistake, we think,
to speak of u bolted flour as less nutritious
than the white. The grain contains large
poron of nutritive matter, and the dark
colored flour called the kernel" is also very
rich in nutritive elements. Both these are
SCI arated by boiling, but are retained in the
unbolted -four. If brown bread were more
used in the cities, and schools, in our country,
we should have healthier and happier peo-
pie. II is less needful in the country but
there even, the use of the unbolted -four
would be better than the us3 of white -four
alone. By the way, it is not quite fair to call
this old and well known friend, unbolted flour,
by the new name, Graham flour. 1t was in
use and repute long before NJ. Graham liv-
ed and it will be held in honor long after hu
madity shall have soughed of the absurdities
of the so-called Graham system. - Ohio

COUNTRY SABBATH.
by W. F. WALDEN.


In that low lap of solitude so grave
Aud populous with reverental dreams,
Where the tired soul could taste with holy awe
The Sabbath morn, and view by half direct,
The all srpernal majesty of God,
| hailed the vernal sun. The greenwood choirs
Administered in their romantic aisles
Unusual service and the early chime
Devotion waits upon rolled o'er the slopes
70 greet he church y ard few, who thus remote,
Concordant with the natural world, assumed
The limitldss subjection. Twas time
PiOiuse in character, as of itself
la Just commem oration, and a spot
Reciprocal Herewith for mans reform.
The rough old eminence and babbling brook
Partaker each with each, approved the hour
With more than sleepy seeming, and afar
Some pious hamlet reared her index spire
To chide irreverence and point her bourne.
How all benign the jurisdiction fills
On this propitous day, when the free world
Far as perce,vable, relents unurged
To easy resignation, and accords,
Down to the far nanmate of earth
A tributary praise Here skunk away
The yeoman young solicitude to modes
OF wise but rigid age and voices skilled
To shout supremacy on bOuntcous meads,
United now in tame ackno wledgement
Ofther omnifc Jove. No boist' rous pomp
Perplexed the sanctity, nor borrowed rites
Obscursd The narrow path they would defend
For, used to comprehend the Deity
by His mInihcence--to learn of Earth,
And look through Natute up to Natures Cod >
Man fell ingenious beneath the Cross,
Aspiring to be Man in loyalty,
Aud, like the mute creation, serve his King.
There is candid holmes, dcvoids
Of Ofstipulations with offcious Art
That shakes the white simar in liberal ease
Der unprcleudiug Nature but the soul
With civil forms encumbertd, blindly reels
From this her great prerogative to climb,
Or heaven ward drags along the sleepy beams,
strange, unapt, precision. Better far,
The silent sympathy of hill and vale,
To buffet i'll pursuits than all the force
OF new magnifcence for that is prayer
Which this, to initiate, but poorly mOcks.

Course OF AeRrcULrunAL IMPROVEMENTS

COURSE OF AGRICULruRALIM LIMPRovEMENTs.-
Amid all the currents, and counter currents
of emigration, some glimpses of great law
may be traced. The course of settlement and
improvement, is the reverse of that of water.
Men, in old times, coasted along the seas and
oceans. They came to the mouth of great
river. They paused and established a colony
there. They then traced the river towardsits
sources, clearing and occupying the valley as
they went. Then they penetrated the valleys
of tributary streams. Then the hill sides were
cleared; and at last cultivation was carried up
10 the rocky peaks which had been washed by
the storms of centuries. Such is, in part, at
least, an account of the cOurs whichthe hui.
