Success or Failure-A Contrast.

Many wise and witty things have been
said and written in all ages, to show the
difference with which the same enterprise
is viewed when it results in failure. We
have never had any better illustration of
this than we have now in connection with
the great enterprise Of the age. After the
first and second attempts to lay tho Allan
tic cable had failed, wise acres shook their
heads in sympathetic disapprobation Of Mr..
Field, and said, "what Il fool le was II
was evident to them all along that the thing
could never succeed, and they could not un-
ders'and why a sensible clear-headed man
like Field would risk bis whole fortune in
such n railroad to the moon undertaking
If he had vcntured third Of it or a half,
there might be some excuse for him, but to
have placed it all ON the hazard ola die
where the chances We're hundred TO one
against Lim-worse even than the Wall
street lottery, conducted under the name oil
! the stock exchange was an evidence Of fol.
ly and absur:dty which they could not over
look and for which lie deserved TO suffer.
Now all that is changed Midnight has
given lace to noon. The sun shines bright.
ly IN the heavens, and the shadows of the
! night have passed away and are forgotten.
Failures have been on!y the stepping. g.stoncs
to success the most brilliant. The cable is
laid; and now the most honorcd name in
the world is thai Of Cyrus w. Field, nj.
! thongl, but yesterday there were.
None so poor to do him reverence
The wise-acres who shook their heads
the other day, and pi,,ied while they con.
d"lnned him, are now among the foremost
III his praise, and help to make his name n
household word. Bells are rung and guns
are fired, and buildings are Illuminated in
his honor throughout the length and breadth
OF this land and prominent among all de-,
vices, and first on every tongue, and upper
most in every heart is his name. Hadihe not,
like the great Bruce, pcrsevered in the face
of repeated failures until his efforts were at
length crowned with success, he would have
been held up to the growing generation as
an illustration ofthe danger of allowing our
minds to be absorbed by an impractiblc idea,
and his history would have been served up
in play and romance, and used
10 point moral or adorn a tale.
AS is, the nation is proud of him, tile
world know him, and all mankind is bis
debtor.-New York Herald.

Life of Bishop Capars.

DR.. Wightman has laid the entire read
ing public under obligation by producing one
of the most acceptable biographies oethe
age. 1t may be our own profound yenera-
ton for the man, whose portrait he has
drawn-it may be our partialityR for the
biographer, That has absorbed us in this
narrative Of an active, though not an event
ful life-as the world would count it-but
we think it is nc,her-hut all unbiased
Judgment, rs Of one who might give it
knowing neither party.
The autobiography is one of tile most
attractive fragments Of personal history we
have ever read. The simplicity of Bishop
Capers' character and his single-hearlcdne
shine all through it. As narrative of re-
l'g'ous experience, it is a well-spring Of in
s'rvction 10 young christians, especially to
those called to the ministry. With the
utmost trankness and naturalness, in an at
tractive style. he narrates all the exercises
Of mind, i'll ut ease until christian obliga-
tons are fully assumed, and then pressing
forward intosevery opening path Of duty
with charming sincerity Of purpose. He
thus tells his own story, unlil'he has come
to be known and appreciated as in the FORE
most rank Of the Methodist ceranitny. But
he does not say so-nor seems ever to know
what position he has reached. ,sr
Then, when the pen has fallen from his
hand, one takes it up, to finish the. portrait,
who is every way suted.to the task-by
congenaity of spirit-by similarity of taste
and antecedeuts-by knowledge Of hesub-
ject--by culture and by genius; ana he has
used the material furnished BY life, more
devoted TO routine duties than to accom-
plishing famous deeds, in such way, as to
give us a faithful picture Of devoted,
christian man, who could readily s,forego. the
honors?ofi the present passing scene, in view

for his prime minister, who on hi, part is
condemned to endure the climate the whole
year, that the slaves may be kept in order,
while the master himself hurrics away with
his family 10 the far Nor,h-to New York
or to saratoga, and very often to London
and Paris-to spend the abundant revenues

How to Boil Meat.

ANY meat, boiled as nine-tenths Of the
cooks boil it, loses the larger proportion Of
its valuable qualities, and becomes mass
Of dried sinews, but little better fitted for
purposes Of food than so much vegetable
fibre. But there is method of boiling
meats, fresh or salt, 50 as to retain their
juices almost as perfectly as those of baked
meats. The meat should first be put into
water that is boiling briskly. This coag,,-
lates the albumen near the surface, filing
up tho pores and preventing the escape of
the interior juices. So far many Of our
own cooks understand the true theory.
But the remainder of the process with the
most of them, is wrong. They keep up the
heat, and keep the pot boiling vigorously,
till the meat is thoroughly cooked usually,
in fact, till it is quite over'lone. This is all
wrong. and counteracts; in great measure,
though not entirely, what has been gained
10y putting the meat into boiling water. The
water must not be kept at the boiling point
more than. three minutes after the meat is
put. in. 1t should then be cooled off by the
addition Of cold water, and be kept at about
1903, the temperature at which meat is
baked, until it is cooked through. Itshould
not be allowed tosboil at all after the first
three minutes. Perhaps the readiest means
of keeping up the-proper temperature will
be to keep the pot on the TOP. of the stove if
there is much fire. At any rate, RS We un-
derstand il, tho essential thing is to keep
the water alnost;Sbnt notsdpite, up to the
boiling point. Our authority tells us that

How to Reads withgPfofi,.

For the sake Of those who are. not great
'ly accustomed to systematic reading, we
make some suggestions as to the best mode
OF reading SO as 10 gain the books. you
peruse.
81. Ascertain the aim Of the eauthor. You
will thus know wha. to expect from his
book, and may save much times which
might otherwise be spent in looking flor
what you could not find. An attentive
reading ofthe title page, preface, and table
of contents, will enable you to judge pretty
accurately what tho author IS about
Some facts, too, Which float only among in
telIigent men, will aid yqu greatly io:these
matters. -
2. Read makgully and attentivelya and
with determination to comprehend tBr-
oughly the book you, are psrpsing:: Read
neither creduously nor skeptically;,. .tlut
candidly: endeavoringto to 60 to the root of
the matter, if possible. One hour Of such
reading is'worth week Of the superficial
reading which is 80 copmon. .%9rt
8. Read with good dietionary;at ay5.
elbo,0' and consuItit freely, whenever you:
meet word whose meaning you are. not
sure you. understand. Webster' or Wofe
ccster is the best in general use. WeFuse
Webster Never pass an important word
without mastfy5h dts meaning, ii6.the work
yon are reading. In tbis:way yonwill soon
gain good stock of words fora your oso,s
use, while you arslsarning ahe: meaning Of
the book you arssreatiing. -
4. After ,reasling chapter, close sfBesbook.
and try TO recall and state ybfiefyF In your
own !angbsge, the SUBSTANCE Iis;Chapter,
in the order which the, author 'parsues.-
This is ons'oft the most pne6tablsI exercises.
