wife, are both too fully employed to spend

ADVANTAGE OF TEMPERANCE.

Solomon tells US that the glutton shall
come to poverty warns US to be not among
riotous eaters of flesh and even bids US
put knife to our throats if we be men
given to appetite. Is there no desperate
remedy?
Lord Byron once told companion that
if some demi-god would dictate to US just
how much we ought to eat, it would put an
end to half the miseries of the race.
Jonathan Edwards, We see nothing in his
diary I'll find that I cannot be convinced,
in the time of eating, that to eat more would
be to exceed the bonuds oftemperance, though
I have had two years experience Of the like,
and yet three minutes after have done, I
am convinced of it. But yet again l. over
eat, thinking I shall be somewhat faint if I
leave off then, but so it is from time to
time have observed that more really seems
to be truth when it is according to my incli-
nation, than when otherwise
Jefferson says that No man ever repents
eating too little
Sir Isaac Newton often dined on a penny's
worth of bread.
Abernethy cured his indigestion and re-
gained his flesh by going into the country,
where he could get good milk and eggs, and
living upon it three times day, with no
drink but ginger water. On this quantity
of food he regaiued his flesh and uniformly
got better
Marion and his men waxed strong and va.
liant with no food but sweet potatoes, no
drink but water, and no shelter but the
sky.
Besides brown bread, the Greek beatmen
subsist almost solely on their native fruits,

BILE, active, graceful, cheerful, and even the

Grant Thorburn attributes his cheerful
old age to the fact that he never eats
enough and thousands Of his countrymen
are wearing out their bodies not SO much by
the excess of business or the multiplicity Of
cares, as by the overwork thy crowd upon
them in digesting surplus and unnecessary
food ....

RApIDITY OF THOUGHT IN DREAMING

RApIDITY OF THOUGHT IN DRAINING
A very remarkable circumstance, in an i'm
portant point Of analogy, is to be found in
the extreme rapidity with which the mental
operations are performed, or rather with
which the mental changes on which the
ideas depend are excited in the hemisphere
cal gauglia. 1t would appear as if whole
series of acts, that would really occupy
long lapse of time, pass ideally through the
mind in one instant. We have in dreams
no true perception Of the lapse of time--s
strange property of mind for if such be
also its property when entered into the eter.
nal disembodied state, time will appear to
US in eternity. The relations of space as
we'll as time, are also annihilated, SO thatal-
most while an eternity is compressed into q
moment, infinite space is trayersed more
swiftly than by real thought. There are
numerous illustrations of this on record. a
gentleman dreamed that be had enlisted IS
a soldier, Joined his regiment, deserted, was
apprehended, carried back, tried, condemn
ed to be shot, and at last led out for execu-
tion. After the usual preparations, a gun
was fired; he awoke with the report, and
found that a noise in the adjoiningro room had
at the same moment, produced the dream
and then awakened him. A friend Of DR..
Abercrombie dreamed that he crossed the
Atlantic, and spent fortnight in America.
In embarking, on his return, he fell into the
sea, and, awaking in the fright, found that
he had not been in bed ten minutes.

THE WIFE's GENTLE REPRooF.

THE WIFE's GENTLE REPRooF.
One day as Zachariah Hogsden was going
to his daily avocations, after breakfast, he
purchased a large Goldfish and sent it home,
with directions to have it cooked for dinner.
As no particular mode of cooking it was pre-
scrbed, the good woman well knew that
whether she boiled it or madeit intoa chow
der, her husband would scold her when he
came home. But she resolved to please him
once, if possible, and therefore cooked sew
eral portions of it in different ways. She
also, with some difficulty, procured an am
phibious animal from the brook back of the
house, and pumped it into the pot. In due
time the husband came home some covered
dishes were placed on the table, and with a
frowning, fault-fnding look, the moody man
commenced the conversation:
well, wife, did you get the fish that I
bought?'
yes, my dear
Ishould like to know how you have cooked
it. 1 will bet anything that you have spoil
ed it for eating. (Takes off the cover.) I
thought so. What in creation possessed you
to fry it? I would as leave eat boiled
frog
why, my dear, I thought you loved it
best fried
sYou didn't think any such thing. You
know better, I never loved fried 6sh-why
didn't you boil it p
MY dear, the last time we had fresh fish
you know I boiled it, and you said you liked
it best fried. But I have boiled some also.
So saying, she lifted up cover, and 10
the shoulders of cod, nicely boiled, were
neatly deposited in a dish, the sight of
which was enough to make an epicure re-
joice, but which added to the i'll nature of
her husband.
"A pretty dish, thisp he exclaimed !;
sboiled chips! fish and porridge! If you
had not been one of the most stupid of hu-
man kind, you would have made it into a
chowder.'
His patient wife, with smile, immedi-
ately placed tureen before him, containing
an excellent chowder.
My DEAR said she, Il was resolved to
please you; here is your favorite dish
sFavorite dish, indeed! I dare say it is
an unpalatable, wishy.Washy mess. would
rather have boiled frog than the whole Of it,
This was q common expression of his, and
had been anticipated by his wife, who as
soon as the preference was expressed, un-
covered a large dish near her husband, and
there was large bull frog, of portentous
dimensions and pugnacious aspect, stretched
out at full length Zachariah started from
his chair, not little frightened at the unex-
pected apparition.
MY DEAR said his wife, in kind of en-
treating tone, Il hope at length you will be
able to make dinner
Zachariah could not stand this. His sur
ly mood was finally overcome, and he burst
into a hearty laugh. He acknowledged that
his wife was right, and that he was wrong,
and declared that she should never again
have occasion to read him another such les.
son; and he was as good as his word.

AN INTERESTING DIsoovERY.-We see
it stated, upon what may be considered re-
liable authority, that thirty thousand Chris
tians have RECENTLY been found upon an is.
land north of Celebes. 1t has been rumored
for time, that there was there Christian
people, forgotten and forsaken, which how.
ever, yet possessed three Bibles, and contin-
ued steadfast in the faith. When mission
aries first landed on the island, they met with
a school teacher and his pupils, who repeat
ed in the Ma!ayan tongue, 'As the heart
panteth after the waterbrooks, so panteth
my soul after Thee, 0 Lord
No Bibles were found, but the most pre-.
cious promises of the Bible written upon the
bark Of trees. They knew the Apostles
Creed, and the Heidelberg Catechism, and
had Christian customs. Twenty churches
and schools yet existed. Through the in
strumentality of pastor Heldring, founder of
the Nlagdalen Asylum at, steenbeck, and
chief patron of Inner Missions in Holland,
four missionaries, who had been educated
under the venerable Gossner, were sent out,
and three thousand persons baptized.
This is certainly most interesting discov-
cry. The island on which these Christians
were found belongs to the East Indian Ar
The Dutch have for years had
political rule in this region. This may &C.
count for the fact that the Heidelberg Cate
chism was still found in their possession
But still the particular time and circumstan-
ces in which this introduction took place may
we'll challenge special attention, and elicit
investigation from those who have the leis-
ure and facilities from prosecuting it.-Ger-
nan Reform Nsasenaer.
