MEAL TINES.

Happy is the man who enjoys his meal
whose breakfast is a pleasure, whose
ddnner feast, and whose supper charm
ing safety. On such one this world
may heap misfortunes bat they will no,
effect him
a well filed stomach is q good shield
against the darts of care.
Dinner time how it is longed for BY
the whining school boy, as he comes hun
cry from school; and how unwi'lingly he
leaves the beef and nice pudding, to creep
eG lin to the school room.
There is but one way to account for
the great number Of morbid and dyspeptic
people We meet, and tina, is why they do
not enjoy their meals. Breakfast to a
man Of this sort is matter of profit and
loss, and he drinks bis coffee with the
thoughts Of the value Of the stocks and
not Of the good it might do him. Din
ner to him is feat of1legerdenain. In an
incredibly small space Of time he stov>
away, through the medium Of his mouth,
a quantity of solid material that seems to
jump and slip down as if alive; yea,
seemingly frightened ut the teeth for fear
they would close on its unawarcs.
To such a man. properly speaking
there is no meal time; FOR coming home
to supper racked with indigestion, h.
listlessly plays with bis teaspoon, b,
chcws some hard hearted breaI, to &c.
an appetite, which never comes.
Oh, my friends. be attentive to your
meals, If you value long life. Would you
feel we'll all the morning, treat your break
fast as a friend DO MT attempt toe
much, but Iii ure!y drink your cup o!
coffee and mildly chew Cur bakers bread
Il is the best in the morning eatirg spar
iugly of meat. Then will you rise from
the table. with a delicious feeling OF
sanity and well prepared for the work to
be done. And when the all important
meal Of the day arrives-when dinner
time has comc-yuu will sit down 10
your ''roast with vegetable" with sa,isfac-
ton and delight.
But uCw be careful not to gormandizc:
Many mall Las by this means collected
corporation ia front Of him that has
never Lett him like some person we wot OF,
has been burden to them aud an eye
sore to all.
Do not understand me :s recommending
spare eating; eat to your full but do not
cram. If y"u are sparing of anything.
let it be of pastry. One piece, we'll en-
joycd, is sufficient. Indeed, recommend
doing without desert three days of the
week. by so doing. when the closing
meal of the day arrives, you will sit
down to your cup Of tea and light cakes
with a feeling Of content.
Caition-if, you would enjoy good
nights rest. with no unpleasant. night
mare breeding dreams, avoid all heavy
meats at this, your last ulcal.

NoMAN's GKAvz-We can pass By the
tomb of u mau with somewhat Of calm in
difference, but when we survey the grave
of female. sigh iuvoluntarily escapes
us. With the holy name of woman, We
associate every soft, tender and delicate
affection. We think Of her AS the young
and bashful virgin, with eyes sparkling,
and checks crimsoncd with each impas-
stoned feeling of the heart; as the cIias,e
aud vlrtuous ma'ron, tried with the follirs
of the world, and preparing for the grave
TO which she llust descend. Ther. IL
something in contemplating the character
Of a woman that raises the soul far above
tue lcvc! of society. She is forn,c,! to
adorn aud humanize mankind, to soothe
his cares aud s;rcw his path with flowers.
la the hour Of distress she Is the rock on
which he leans for support. and when fat.
calls him from existence her tears bedcw
hls grave. Can you look upon her tomb
without emotion? Man has always JUS
tice done TO his memory: woman never.
The pages of history lie open to one but
the meek and un,btrosi,e excellence of tho
other sleep with her unnoticed in the grave.
In her may have shone the genius Of .
poet with the Vii tues Of ruit. She, too,
may have passed along the sterile path Of
existence, and felt for others us VIC now
feel for her.
