Ladies' Favorites.

There is much truth in the following remarks
of Addison Il have found that the men who
are really the most fond of the ladies-who
cherish for them the highest respect-are sell
dom the most popular with the sex. Men of
great assurance whose tongues ere lightly
hung make words supply the place of
ideas, and place compliments in the room Of
sentiment are favorites. A due respect for
woman leads to respectful action towards them;
and respect is mistaken by them for neglect or
want Of love.

Is Religion Beautiful.

Always In the child, the maiden, the mother
religion shines with holy benignant beauty of
it's own, which nothing on earth can mar. Never
vet was female character perfect without the
steady faith of piety. Beauty, intellect wealth !
they are all like pitfalls, dark in the brightest
day. unless religion throws her soft beams around
them to purify and exalt, making twice glorious
that which seemed all loneliness before.
Religion is very beautiful, in health or sick
ness, in wealth or poverty We can never en-
ter the sick chamber ofthe good, but soft music
seems to float on the air; and the burden of
their song is Lo, peace is here"
Could we look into the thousands offamilies to
day where discomfort fights sullenly with life we
should find the chief cause of unhappiness want
of religion in woman. Q, religion benignant
majesty, high on thy throne thou sittest glori-
Gus and exalted Not above the clouds comes
aught between the and truly pious SOULS not be-
meath the clouds, for above these is Heaven,
opening through a broad vista of exceeding
beauty.

Position in Sleeping.

II is better to go to sleep on the right side,
for then the stomach is very much in the posi-
ton of bottle turned upside down, and the
contents are aided in passing out by gravita-
ton. If one goes to sleep on the left side, the
operation of emptying the stomach of its con-
tents is more like drawing water from WE'LL
After going to sleep, let the body take its own
position. If you sleep on your back, especially
soon after eating a hearty meal, the weight of
the digestive organs, and that of the food, rest
ing OH the great vein of the body near the
back bone, congresses it, and arrests the flow
of the blood more or less If the arrest is par
tial the sleep is disturbed, and there are IN
pleasant dreams. If the meal has been recent
or hearty, the arrest is more decided, and the
various sensations, such as falling over a preci-
pice, or the pursuit of a wild beast, or other
impending danger and the desperate effort to
get rid of it, arouses us and sends on the
stagnating blood, and we wake in a fright or
trembling or perspiration, or feeling of exhaus-
ton, according to the degree of stagnation, and
the length and strength of the effort made to
escape the danger. But when we are not able
to escape the danger, when we do fall over the
precipice, when the tumbling building brushes
US, what then -? That is death ! That is the
death of those whom it is said, when found life
less in their beds in the morning: That they
were as well as they ever were the day before :"
and often it is added, and ate heartier than
common This last as frequent cause of
death to those who have gone to bed to wake
no more, we give merely as a private opinion
The possibility of its truth is enough to deter
any rational man from late and hearty meal
This we do know, with certainty, that waking
up in the night with painful darrhea, or chol-
era, or bilious collie ending in death in a very
short time, is properly traceable to a late large
meal The truly wise will take the safer side
For persons who eat three times day, it is
amply sufficient to make the last meal of cold
bread and butter and a cup Of some warm
drink; no one can starve on it, while perse-
verance in the habit soon begets vigorous APP
petite for breakfast, SO promising Of day Of
comfort.-HalEs Journal of Health.

Remember Home.

Fortunate - unspeakably fortunate, is the
young man who has home that he loves, and
dear ones nesting there to whom his heart goes
out in Unreasonable warnings of affection. The
youth who has come to the city to seek his for
tune, is guarded as by an angel from Heaven
when he carries fresh in his memory the picture
of humble cottage home which shelters the
dear and venerated being who gave him birth
The thrill of her loving touch, as she laid her
hand upon his head in blessing, ere he turned
his footsteps toward the great city, shall hold
him ever in the Path Of Life, and charm the
Tempter away And still more blessed is he if
he has to devote portion Of his wages to the
support of that home, and of those dear ones
whom he so loves. In such o case his earnings
are hallowed with sacredness which communl-
Gates itself to his character, and is exhibited in
blossoms of noble duteousness. The conscious
ness that the wages Of his toll gladden. and
beautify and make comfortable the home OF his
childhood and the authors of his being, gives
dignity to his labor, and delight in its re-
wards, such as no mere selfish acquisition can
impart Therefore, young men, remember your
paternal homes, and devote at least a portion of
your earnings to the making of them brighter
and happier, that your own life-path may be
frightened by the effulgence which is ever radi-
ated from good deeds

Why Should a Man Swear

Why should man swear? No reason can be
conceived why he should, but ten reasons can be
given why he shonld not:
l. 1t is mean. A man of high moral stand
ing would almost as soon steal sheep as to
swear.
2. It is vulgar Altogether too mean for
decent man.
3. 1t is cowardly. Implying fear either of
being not believed or obeyed.
4. 1t is ungentiemanly A gentleman ac-
cording to Webster, is a genteel maxwell bred
refined Such an one win no more swear than
90 into the streets to throw mud with rowdy
s. It is indecent Offensive to delicacy, and
extremely unfit for human ears.
6. 1t is foolish, want of deceney is want
of sense"
I. 1t is abusive To the rsind which con-
ce;ves the oath to the tongue which alters it,
and to the person at whom tits aimed
8 1t is venomous Showing mans heart
to be nest of vipers, and every time he swears
one of theFa sticks out his head
8, 1t is contemplate; FORGETTING the respect Of
all the wise and good
TO- 1t is wicked; violating the divine law and
provoking the displeasure of him who will not
hold him guitless who takes his name in vain.
