INTERVAL BETWEEN MEALs.--As a general rule, from five to six hours should elapse between meals; but this, of course. must vary according to circumstances, and must depend upon appetite. Persons who are engaged in business frequently inflicr much mischief upon themselves by disre- garding it's mentions, amid the hustle and excitement of trade. After a time, it is true, the appetite subsidies; but the neces- sity of food Is not thereby removed. It is no unusual thing for merchant to break fast at seven or eight o'clock, and dine at three or four, without having eaten any, thing during all this time. This long fasting is injurious, and the subsequent full meals it induces are still more so, whether the fact be observed or not. In such cases, snacks" should always be taken.

MARY SruARr.--The following Is LamerIine's portrait of the fair and unfor- tunate Queen of Scots: But love, or even poetry, were poweress to depict her at this still progressive period of her life, to paint that beauty which consisted less in her form than in her fascinating grace; youth, heart, genius, passion still shaded by the deep melancholy of a farewell; the tall and slender shape, the harmonious movement, the round and flexible throat, the oval face, the fire of her look, the grace of her lips, her Saxon fairness, the pale beauty of her hair, the light she shed around her wherever she went the night, the void, the desert she left behind when no longer present; the attraction, resem- bling witchcraft which unconsciously ema- mated from her, and which drew towards her, as it were, a current of eyes, of de- sires, of hearts the tone of her voice. which once heard, resounds forever in the ear of the listener, and that natural genius of soft eloquence, and of dreamy poesy, which distinguished this youthful Cleopa- ,ra of Scotland"

E9 4 young lass went to camp meeting and came back full of the revival which they had, and did nothing the fol- lowing week but sing,
 Shout shout, we're gaining ground!" She had the tune so pat, that all she said was but continuation of that song, and not unfrequently the rhyme was too long for the tune. Old Jowel slipped in and took bone of the table. and, as he was making for the door, she sung cut:

- Some writer has said, ssWhen man begins to find fault, note his spirit. If he is bitter, harsh, and vindictive, do not listen to him. He will either grieve your heart, or in- feet you with his own spirit. If he comes cursing like shimei, pass him by But if he comes weeping like a Jeremiah, you may weep with him, and mourn over the desolation of Jsrusalem.s
 -ss What is the n eaning of back bitter ?'' asked reverend gentleman, during an examination at parochial school. This question puzzled the scholars. It went down the class till it came to simple little urchin, who answered, P'r'aps it be a fleao

THE NEEpLE-PRrMED RIrLE.-This is the most celebrated weapon in the Prus- sian service, and has some peculiarities in its construction and action which have classed il among tho most notable of fire- arm inventions. The account before us says:
 The principle of this gun is, in the first place, that i, is loaded at the breech, and
 the charge then ignited by needle or pin
 forced forward by a spring through the
 powder till it strikes patch of detonating powder affixed to the rear of the ball.
 By thus exploding the gunpowder in front
 the whole of i. IS ignited, and particles are forced forward in an unconsumed state or left to foul the gun. Military men differ as to the merits of this rife. It is nssert- ed that it is very complicated, liable to get out of order, and exposed to frequent and disastrous accidents from the percussion powder being packed close to the charge, while breech-loading is 6 mistake in a military point of view. The advantages of rapidity of fire, and of dispensing with the ramrod, however, are so obvious as not to be doubted. while the recent i'm. provemcnts which have been effected in this class of arms are now so great that they are believed in all respects quite equal in efficiency to any muzzle-loaded guns now in use.

I WAIT FOR HEB,

The hearth is swept--the fire is bright
 The kettle sings for tea: The cloth is spread--the lamp is light The mullins smoke in napkins white;
 And now wait for thee. Come home, love come--thy task is done;
 The clock ticks list'ningly: The blinds are shut, the curtain down, The armchair to the fre-side drawn;
 The boy is on my knee. Come home, love, come--his deep fond eye
 Looks round him wistfully: And when the whispering winds go by, As if thy welcome steps draw nigh,
 He crows exultingiy.~ In vain---he finds the welcome vein,
 And turns his glance on mine, So earnestly, that yet again His form unto my heart strain,
 That glance is so like thine. Thy task Is done--we miss thee here:
 Where'er thy footsteps roam, No heart will spend such kindly cheer No beating heart, no listening ear,
 Like these who wait thee home. Ahi now along the crisp walk fast,
 That well-known step doth come; The bolt is drawn, the gate is past The boy is wild with joy at last
 A thousand welcomes home!

EGy- In the flush times of Arkansas, when the phrase of 'hard case" meant something more than it does now, Harvey Jenkins was admitted one of the hardest. The sermon being over, the preacher re- quested all those friendly to religion to rise, and hold up their right hands. The whole audience. apparently were on their feet. Alter they were seated again, the minister continued: 'Now, if there is single one here who desires to see Satan and his kingdom prosper, he will rise and hold up his hand"
 Harvey. with some difficulty, got to an erect position and said: Had the vote been less unanimous I should have retained my seal; but make it point of honor nev- CT to abandon friend under adverse GIT. |oumssances."
