A THOUGHT FOR THE RicH.-
As general rule, the less you leave
your children when you die, the
more they will have twenty years
aft ewar Is. Wealth inherited
should be the incentive to exertion.
Instead of that, st is the title-deed
TO sloth.' The only money that
does man good is what he earns
himself. A ready made fortune,
like ready made clothes, seldom fits
the man who comes in possession
Ambition, stimulated by hope and
a half-flled pocket-book, has pow
er that will ensure success.

GWA man in active life requires
thirty-six ounces of solid food per
day-say nine ounces of animal and
twenty-seven of vegetable-accor-
ding to established scales of diet in
the English and French army and
navy regulations. Of food and drink
a man will consume about 1900
pounds year. OF course, many
persons consume much more food,
but this is the average estimate.

TRUE REALTY.

IDuring recent conversation, it was slight

"oh! she isn't beautifulpl
She is not very fair land yet
love her quiet face;
She wears not beautiy's coronet,
But there's tender grace
Upon her brow, and in her eyes
A light which could not be
IL her Thoughts were not sweet harmonies-
She's beautiful to mel
Not beautiful save when the flush
4. OF feeling dyes her cle eek;
- When her lips are sealed beneath its gush,
And leave her eyes to speak
Not beautiful save when some thought
OF goodnes sends its glow
Across the face by art untaught,
And yeti love her sol
Yet she Is beautiful, though small
The gifts that over-lie
The soul so beautiful in all,
In all that cannot die;
Goodness is beauty, this is why
The tides of friendship roll
Up from my heart, and light my eye
ilove her for her soul!
The very faiIest form of earth,
That ever sculptor Swallowed forth
With rare exceeding grace
If all unllt by feelings sun,
Were cold and dark to me
Oh! The heart! The heartl IT'S that alone
Gives grace and harmony.
The heartl The heart! Give me the heart!
care not for The face,
However fair each separate part,
If it need the spirits grace
Give me the heart, care not how
The form may moulded be;
ifperfect love light up the brow,
IT'S beautiful to me!
Oh We! who spend your precious dav
In vain essays to gid
With arts deceit each fading face,
!, Ali if your soul were filled
With grace and beauty, knows ye not
Its radiance would appear
Upon each Torch cad shining out;
MoEs bright from year to yearp
Goodness is beauty. Be We pure,
Let love rule every thought,
And then grace which shall endure
A wondrous grace which naught.
Can spoil or tarnish shall break forth,
Shall fire the dullest eye,
Make fair the darkest face on earth
With light that cannot die!

PopularftY and Place.

No wise and good man makes himself
unhappy in vain striving for populari
ty and place He does not seek them as
ends. He does not set his heart on them
so that he will sacrifice honor, truth
justice, everything noble and precious
as do the selfish and puffed up, to obtain
them. Every man, truly noble and gen,
erous, is free from the necessity of doing
this in order to put himself on fair and
agreeable terms with his fellow men
He is not obliged to force or fight his
way to position. He naturally and
gratefully falls into his place, and the
world is pleased to see him there. We
like the sentiment of Lord Mansfield.
1 love-" said he, popularity; but il
is that popularity which follocs good
man, not that which is run otter." In
this brief expression, indeed, lies the
highest aud divinest wisdom. 1t is this
that we should live in loyalty to truth
and virtue, allowing the doors of out
ward success to open or shut. just as
they may. The true and virtuous man
is not dependent ON exterior favors. II
room is denied him, the room may not
get noble occupant; or, if a place Of
trust is offered him, he fills the place
with nobility and honor.-GospeI Ban

Dirt.
Old Dr. Cooper, of South Carolina
used to say to his students: Don't be
afraid Of little dirt, young gentlemen
What is dirt? Why, nothing at all of
fensive, when chemically viewed. Rub
little alkali upon that dirty grease
spot on your coat, and it undergoes a
chemical change and becomes soap
Now rub it with little water and it disap-
pears it is neit!.er grease, soap, water,
nor dirt. That is not a very odorous
pile of dirt you observe there. Well
scatter little gypsum over it, and it is
no longer dirty Everything you cal
dirt is worthy of your notice as students
of chemistry. Analyze it 1t will all
separate very clean elements. Dirt
makes corn. corn makes bread and meat
and that makes very sweet young lady

So, after all, you were kissing dirt, par.
ticularly if she whitens her face with
chalk or fuller's earth. There is nc
telling, young gentlemen, what is dirt.

PREsERYArIoN OF rHE HA1R.

! 1t is melancholy fact that not one
lady in hundred, in the United States,
has fine or luxuriant hair. Everybody
is complaining of the loss of ''woman S
chief glory and wondering why ON
earth pomatums and hair washes, and
restoratives, fail to bring it back ''as
per advertisement. We suspect there
would be general exclamation OF in
credulity among the gentlemen, did they
but know what an immense proportion
of the tastefully arranged tresses they
behold on fair heads, grew on somebody S
else pate. Almost every one wears a
''roll' or s'braid' which comes from the
hairdressers, and costs from five to
twenty dollars. 1t is disposed with con-
summate skill-you cannot distinguish
the sly hair pins that fastcn on the false
decoration, yet there it is, tacit con-
fession that nature gives way to art.
"My hair uoM keep coming out, al
though | take the greatest pains with
it," sighs the fashionable belle; Il
don t see what the trouble isl"
There are several TROUBLES" first and
foremost among which is the expensive
"roll' itself. Any hairdresser will tell
you that the weight and p -essure of this
heavy mass Of false hair with the heat it
induces around the head is highly pref
judicial to the growth and welfare of the
real hair If you must wear a roll let it
be as seldom as possible. Whenever you
can dispense with it, do so. Let its
place be supplied as often as practically
with light head dress, secured with as
few hair pins as will support it. These
last are fearfully destructive to the hair,
cutting and wearing it to an incredible
degree. Gutta percha hair pins are the
best; and even these should be limited
in number.
All sorts of pomatums, oils and prepa-
rations had better be let alone There
is no use in soaking the skin Of the head
in grease, as is often done. If the hair
is harsh and dry, castor oil perfumed is
the best application, but the scalp itself
should not be saturated. Washing the
head thoroughly in fair water, once
a week, will be found very beneficial
Bodily health is almost essential to
the natural growth of the hair. Moth
ing indicates the progress of sickness so
plainly as the dry, dead look Of the hair,
and if our American ladies want lovely,
luxuriant tresses, they must avoid heated
rooms, late hours, aid fashionable dis
sipation. There is no help for ina
ture will avenge any infringement on
her laws, aud the sooner we become
thoroughly convinced of this fact, the
better for US.
There is no ornament half so becom-
ing to a female face as thick. beautiful
hair. 1t needs no decoration beyond Il
natural flower or two Nets, diamond
sprays, tiaras of pearl, are useless-it is
like painting the lily to wear them
Remember this, girls. and take every
precaution to preserve this exquisite or
nament of natures manufacture. Once
gone, it is hard to coax back again

The shortcomings of the Pulpit.

Mrs. Stowe says: But the gospel has
not died out in America--lt is only like
strawberryy-bed, where the life has
gone out. Of old plants into young run
ners. The Gospel of Christ is expounded
at this day more truly in many of the
political speeches of the Republican
party than in some pulpits and some so,
called religious papers. That invisible
but mighty force which we call the spiiri
of the age is burning like an oven against
all the devices of injustice and cruelty
and those whose eyes are truly opened
know Who it is that is breathing that
powerful breath through all the ways OF
man-and, as the prophet of old, they
fall on their faces when the Spirit of the
Lord passeth by.

We know ourselves of the case of a
young and beautiful lady of this city,
whose health was seriously jeopardized
from habitually sleeping in a room COW
cred with paper colored green by arse
mic. Her early symptoms were merely a
slight dryness about the throat and fau-
ces, with some diarrhea; these gradually
increased and resisted all treatment
Dropsy supervened, and from being a
beautiful girl, she became an object so
bloated and repulsive in appearance as
to be painful to look at. Her physi-
clan suspected slow poisoning, but the
most careful analysis Of her food coull
detect nothing, and her life was de-
SPARED of At last, however he be-
thought him of the air she breathed
being the vehicle of the poison. A
small portion of the wall paper was ta-

jected to analysis, was found to contain
arsenic. The lady was moved to an
other part of the house, and her recov-
cry protracted through many months
