THE IMPORTANCE OF CUSTOMARY OCCU-
PATIoN.-We all know the depressing effect of
robbing man of the interest of his customary
occupation. Idleness is only possible to those
who have great variety of small but pleasur-
ably interesting occupations, which fill up the
intellect and demand attention. If a man has
lioe iS"i leu W "oes-fy l.--alf with aasa-if he
Is dependent on some one accustomed UasA ~,
occupy him-withdraw that task and he is lost.
How many men die simply because they have
"retired from business" without having pre-
viOusly learned the business of improving
themselves The great vacuum in their lives
is insupportable The nervous energy has
nothing to spend itself on. 1t tries one thing
tries another-and cannot rest; the saved en-
ergy exhausts itself on disease, and the man
dies.

MANKIND NOT so BAD AFTER ALL-It is
a curious thing that the man, in all England,
whose duty it is to know most about crime,
(Mayhew) has been heard to say that he finds
more and more to excuse men in, and thinks
better of human nature even after tracking it
through its most perverse and intolerable
courses. 4 Il 1t is the man who has seen
nothing of life who is intolerant of his fellow
men. ** Misanthropical people have in
most cases been made misanthropes by hoping
too much. But go on, thinking the best you
can Of mankind, working the most you can for
them, never scolding them because they will
not be wise in your way and even then, be-
ing sure that, think as gently and as lovingly
as you can, you haYe dealt bit scant measure
of tolerance to your fellow-men.-Arthm Phelps

COMPOSITION OF THE HUMAN BODY.-It
is ascertained that man of 154 lbs weight
contains ll6 lbs. of water and only 3S lbs of
dry matter. From his skin and from his lungs
water is continually evaporating Were the
air around him perfectly dry, his skin would
become parched and shrivelled, and thirst
would Cypress his feverish frame. The air
which he brcathes from his lungs is loaded
with moisture. Were that which he draws in
entirely free from watery vapor, he would soon
breathe out the fluids which fill up his tissues,
and would dry up into withered and CHASTITY
mummy. 1t is because the simeon and other
hot winds of the desert approach to this state
of dryness, that they are so fatal to those who
travel in the arid waste. Prof Queteet states
that of the SO pounds of dry matter in the
model man, "a pounds are flesh and fat and IA
lbs. bone; % lbs are organic matter, combust-
ible, and 10 lbs mineral matter, incombustible.
If hundred pounds of human blood be rem
dered perfectly dry, by heat not much ex-
ceeding that of boiling water, it will be reduced
in weight to somewhat less than % pounds.

A LULLABY


A lOvelorn woman sat under tree,
And the sullen winds blew wild,
A little boy was on her knee,
And in a lullaby tune sang she,
Sleep and wake not, child
My poor little houselesS child
The air with snow was cold and gray;
Aside she hung her head;
And all the prayer that she could say,
Was, Whoever blames me, come this way
Tonight, and strike me dead,
A mother, and unwed
Thus, with the scorn of men o'ercast.
After days and weeks,
A loyelOrn woman was found at last.
Two little hands all frozen fast
As icicles on her cheeks
Sin thus its suffering wreaks.
And when the wind that chilled her so.
The sleet aside had driven,
A pitiful sight was there; for 10!
Two little eyes looked out of the snow,
Fearless, up to heaven
The high and holy heaven.
