The VITALITY OF MossEs.-T Though frozen
hard under the snow wreaths of winter for several
months, the vitality of MOSES is unimpared and
though subjected to the scoIching rays of the sum-
mer's sun, they continue green and unblighted
Even when thoroughly dissicated into a brown
unshapen mass, that almost orumbles into dust
when touched by the hand, they revive under the
influence of the genial shower, become as green as
an emerald, every pellucid leaf serving as tiny
mirror on which to catch the stray sunbeams-
Specimens dried and pressed in the herbarium for
half century, have been resuscitated o. the ap-

Walking.

There is Characteristic in the footstep. People
no more walk alike than they think or act alike
You can almost tell by the fall of the foot on the
pavement, whether a mans internal barometer in
dicates cloud or sunshine. See the man of pro-
gress and enterprise-the successful merchant or
lawyer; the same rules that guide his business re-
lations follow his very gait through swarming
thoroughfares. He never treads on insecure
grounds and his foot is never set down without a
sort of firm, steady sense Of security The foot
steps Of the young beginner in life's pathway is
less regular and rapid-he is yet undecided, and
hesitates on the threshold of the busy world. The
laborer, with paper and cap bespattered raiment,
has neither energy nor spirit in his walk you
might as well try to decipher blank page, as to
read character in this. Up and down, up and
down, with the same slow, numbering movement.
Patrick looks forward to nothing beyond Satur-
day night and his black pipe at home Life has
no bright upward evoutions, no bitter rending
away of the souls Visions for him How differ
ent is the light tripping step of the young girl,
that makes music even on the worn and roughened
paving-stones-th quick, nervous pace of the
mother, hurrying home to her little ones-the
weary tread of those who walk within the shadow
of death There is character in peoples foot.

American Contributions TO THE WORLDS
FAIR.-About 800 parcels weighing in the aggre-
gate $50 tons, and comprising great variety of
our most ingenious and useful inventions, recently
left New York in the British screw steamer Stella
for exhibition at the forthcoming Worlds Fair.
1t is understood that the President will appoint
Col. Johnson as the special commissioner without
pay to represent this country at the Fair.
LYING There was famous problem among
the Stoics, which ran to this purpose: When a
man says l lie does be lie, or does he notp If
he lies he speaks the truth if he speaks the truth
he lies" Many were the books written upon this
wonderful problem. Crysiphus favored the world
with no less than six, and Phetus studied himself
to death to solve 1t.

Nor MAKING, But SAvING.-It is not the money
that man earns but the money that he saves
which enriches him. Anybody may require wealth
who will remember to act upon this principle
The facility with which money can be gained by
industry, in this country, is very great when CON-
pared to the facilities for coming it, generally
abroad; but we are an extravagant people, and
we expend our earnings with commensurate
prodigality. Those who do not, but practice self
restraint and careful economy, invariably grow
rich. They cannot well avoid it. Money makes
money. The first thousand dollars soon creates
more Thousands; and, if you will only compute it,
you will be surprised to discover how soon you
will have expended that thousand upon purchases
by no means indispensable to your comfort or
your happiness.
