Nerer do TOO Much at TTme.-Sir Ed
ward Bulwer Lytton, in lecture recently
delivered in England, gave the following
history of his literary habits:
Many persons seeing inc so mucl, en-
gagged in active life, and as much about the
world as If I had never been n student
have said to me; "Wben DO you get time
to write all your books How on earth do
you contrive to do so much work I shal
surprise you by the answer make. The
answer IS this, 4 contrive to do so much
by never doing too much at a time. A
man to get through work well must no,
over. work himself; for il lie do too much
to day, the recreation of fatigue will come
and he will be obliged to do too little to
morrow. Now. since I began really anl
earnestly to study, which was not till
left college, and was actually in the world
Emay perhaps say that have gone through
,as<largea course of general reading AZ
most men Of my time. I have Travelled
much snd + have seen. much, have mixet
muchin politics, and the various vrriit basifies
Of life and id addition to an this, I hav
published somewhere about sixty volumes
some upon suljScts requiring much Re;
search. And what time do you think, 4
ageHernl rule, have .devotsd to st.,ly
TO reading and writing. Not more sthiaa
three hours 'a .day, and when Psrliamentj
sitting not. always that. But then. aariui
thoseshours, + have given my wboIe2altsr
ltfon ID what I wssst iaboatt:f s;s -.;.::ss :

Influence of the Smile in giving Beauty
Of Erpressiom.-A beautiful smile is to the
female countenance what theTsunbeam is to
the landscape. 1t embellishes an inferior
face, and redcems an ugly one. 4 smile,
however, should not bee ,me hnbitual in
aipidity is the result; nor should the mouth
break into smile on one side, the other
remaining passive and unmoved, for this
imparts an air of deciet and grotesqueness
to the face. A disagreeable smile distolts
the line Of beauty, and is more repulsi,ve
than a frown. There are many kinds Of
smiles, each having distinctive character
some announce goodness and sweetness,
others betray sarcasm. bitterness, and
pride ;s0ine soften the countena nee by theii
languishing tenderness, others brighten j,
by their bfillisnt and spiritual vivacity.=
Gazing and poring before a tfirror cannot
aid in acquiring beautiful smiles half sst
we'll as 70 turn the gaze inward to watci
that the bsart keeps nnsulIied from the re-
flsc.ioh of evil, and .illumined anu bssutifi
ed by sweet thoughts. .s, -, s -, .'s :,
