One Idea Men.

We have too many men in all occu-
pations who have but one set of ideas.
Many a machinistwill insist on believ-
ing that to do days work well is the
requisite Of all mechanical knowledge.
His steadiness and patient skill are
admirable, but he will turn up dozen
years hence, gray and worn, toiling at
the vice or dropping at the lathe. He
will be supporting large family on
one dollar and three-quarters or two
dollars day-but that two dollars is
the limit of all his possible daily income.
Mark US, that is the man who once
said, go, bother what do I want OF
knowledge of general principles,
mechanical calculations, drawing, bust
ness information, and all that? Why
should l fill my head with all this stuff
about the iron manufacture, estimation
of machinery, mechanical engineer
ing?" Of course, you should not dis
turb the priceless comfort of your easy
soul. OF course, my dear sir, you
should stick close with fire engine
company, and devour cock-and-bull
stories with the rapacity of book
sellers apprentice, or spend your time
in still more free and easy manner;
but all events you should not "bother'
your head where you are so wilfully
opposed to any good which might come
from it. Meanwhile, you will fine
some of your companions, vice hands
or lathe hands like yourself, brake
men or fremen even, pushing theil
way upward, gaining every year il
skill and character, and ultimatel,
stepping into the management of tn,
locomotive shop, the railroad, or som'
other equally desirable position. Yo1
will still remain at the bottom, wonder
ing where were the rounds on whicl
your mates ascended to fortune AM
fretfully repining at the imagined un
lucky fate which ever interposed bar
riers to your advancement in lfe; for
getting that an inspiring energy mus
underlie all successful efforts to arriv
at influence and distinction in tn

Antiquities of Kissing.

In ancient Rome, kissing was an act
Of religion. The nearest friend of a
dying person performed the rite of
receiving his soul by kiss, supposing
that it escaped through the lips at the
moment of expiration, as many pas
sages in the classical poets express
The sacredness of the kiss was inviol-
able for along time, beforeit was de-
graded into current form of saluta-
ton; and, if we may believe Pliny, its
introduction as such was owing to the
facility it gave to detect the degene-
rate Roman ladies, who Gn violation
of the old hereditary female delicacy
of the Republic) indulged in secret
potations Of wine. 1t gradually became
the common form Of salutation among
men, as it still continues to be in most
Continental nations of Europe to this
day. Among the early Christians the
kiss resumed its Importance. The
kiss of peace was sacred ceremony,
observed upon the most solemn occa-
sions; it was called signacpluns ora
tiOnis-the seal Of prayer, and was a
symbol of the mutual forgiveness and
reconciliation required by the Church
of all its members. In the Roman
civil law the right of kissing was duly
defined and protected. The kiss had
all the virtue of a bond, granted as a
seal to the ceremony of Betrothal, and
if the contract was unful6lled through
default of the husband, he surrendered
moity Of, the presents offered on
that occasion, in expiation of the Vio-
lence done to the modesty of the lady
by a kiss. Thus Shakespear makes
Julia, in the Two Gentlemen of Yer
ona, after exchanging a ring with her
lover, "sear the bargain with a holy
kiss !" and traces of the same train Of
thought abound in the old English
writer's. sF rEss.T SO ask

AS for q little more money and a
little more time, why tits ten to enc if
either one or the other would make
you whit happier. If you had more
time, it would be sure to hang heavily.
It is the working man who is thshappy'
man. Man was made to be active,
and he is never 50 happy as when he
is so. It is the idle man Who -fssthe
miserable man. And, as for money,
don't you remember the old saying,
Enough is as good as a feast?" Money
never made man happy yet, nor will
it. There il nothing in its nature to
produce happiness. The more man
has, the more be wants, and instead Of
its filling a vacuum, it makes one. Il
it satisfies one want, it doubles and
trebles that want in another way
That was true proverb Of the wise
man, rely upon it, "Better is little with
the fear of the Lord, than great treas
ures and trouble Herewith" Old
Jonathan; or, The Parish Helper.
There is scarcely any lot so low,
but there is something in it to satisfy
the man whom it has befallen; provi-
denee having so ordered things, that
in every mans cup, how bitter soeEer
there are some cordial drops, some
good circumstances, which, if wisely
extricated, are sufficient for the pur.
pose he wants them-that is, to make
him contented, and, if not happy, a
least resigned.-Sterne.

The Sunbeam,s Grave.

Nothing in this vast creation is ever
lost. individuals may be losers through
carelessness, but to the world at large
no created substance can be lost. One
combination of things is often changed
into another. but no ingredient is ever
utterly destroyed, for at this moment
the created universe does not contain
one particle of matter more, nor one
particle less, than belonged to it that
day it came fresh from the creating
hand of Him who made all things very
good. Never did sunbeam shine in
vain, and therefore no sunbeam that
ever streaked this world with light
could finally belost. Yet the sunbeam,
lovely as it is, had its grave, and there
sometimes for unnumbered ages it has
slept in uhdisturbed repose. What is
coal but latent sunbeams, which need
only to be ignited to start out again
into active life ? The sun, when many
thousand years younger than he is now,
cast forth his radiant beams on the
surface of the world, and noble trees
of ferns and other acrogens started at
bis bidding into vigorous life';;@ they
lived, died, and underwent changes
which made them coal--yes, coal and
the old sun, he did it all. These sun
beams have long been buried in the
fern of coal; and though by ignition
their resurrection-life is but dim
shadow Of their early brightness, they
are yet sunbeams. We have nothing
but sunlight in summer or in winter
think or talk as we may. The fire or
our hearths, the gas in our tubes, the
oil in our lambs, and the candles OF
our tables, are all the products of the
sunbeam. We kindle them, and in the
very act raise the sunbeam from its
grave, and send it forth to run per.
chance long cycle of changes ere
again it rests in such = place as thar
We have dragged it from.

A Mothers Counsel.

Forty years ago, a mother stood on
the green hills of Vermont, holding by
the right hand son, sixteen years of
age, mad with love of the sea. And,
as she stood by the garden gate, that
sunny morning, she said: edwin,
they tell me, for I never saw the ocean,
that the great temptation of q sea-
mans life is drink. Promise me be-
fore you quit your mothers hand, that
you will never drink" ] gave the
promise, and I went the broad globe
over--Cslcutta, the Mediterranean, San
Francisco, the Cape Of Good Hope,

Prayer Meetings. {

The Rev. John Newton says in a
letter to brother clergyman:
Hook upon prayer meetings as the
most profitable exercises-excepting
the public preaching-in which Chris
tians can engage; they have direct
tendency to kill worldly triAing spirit,
to draw down divine blessing upon
all our concerns, compose differences,
and enkindle-at least to maintain
the fame of divine love among breth-
rem. But need not tell you the ad-
vantages; you know them; / only
would exhort you; and the rather, as
| find in my own case, that the princi-
pal cause of my leanness and unfruit-
fulness is owing to an unaccountable
backwardness to pray. l can write
read, or converse, or hear with a ready
will; but prayer is more inward an(
spiritual than any of these; and the
more spiritual any duty is, the more
