THE RULING PRoPENsITY-Success in
the allotted or chosen walk of life is the
passion, the ruling propensity, in every
condition of society. And it is as potent
in the cottage as in the mansion-the stu
dio of the author and artist as the Office of
the merchandise theatre of pleasure as
as the sanctuary of prayer. tits, in short,
the motive power that creates and holds
together nations, strengthens the bonds that
maintain communities in subjection to law
and order, gives stimulus to the func-
tions of the brain, and imparts consistency
and usefulness to the natural selfshness of
every human creature. 1t is the presid-
ing genius of labor in all its branches, and
in both its aggregate and individual eff
forts tenaciously strives to compel the
phantoms that dazzle the imagination to
give place to those realities which tempt
both body and soul to take some path OF
another that will ultimately lead to the
promised land-the glittering, fruitful, and
luscious Canaan of our respective. every
day longings. This, in general terms, is
the condition symbolized as prosperity
and to he acquisition of which, in all its
varied forms, mankind apply themselves
with marvellous devotion.

A KEEN ANswER.-In the days Of
Queen Elizabeth a scholar happened to
be in disgrace with Her Majesty, but
he managed to secure the good Offices
of one who was in high favora the Court,
with view to regain his position. The
time arrived when he was to be presented
to the Queen again. +" WE'LL" said the
Queen, II understand you are great
scholar. Shall l ask you one question ?"
" Anything madame, " said he, that lies
within the compass of my understanding
to resolve you, | will" Z" How many VOW
els are there p said the Queen. That,
your Majesty" replied the scholar, " is
easy known; but as you have asked me
/ must needs answer. Five" Which
of these five could best be spared ?"--
g Not any of them, madame" replied he,
without damaging the language. -"
"Then," retorted Her Majesty, " ] will
tell you differently. We, for our part,
can best spare ~ (you.)

A HEARTY LAUGH-After all. what
capital, kindly, honest, jolly, glorious
thing good laugh isY What tonic |
What digoster! What an exerciser Of
evil spirits Better than walk before
breakfast or nap after dinner How it
shuts the mouth of malice, and opens Che
brow of kindness Whether it discovers
the gums of infancy or age, the grinders of
folly or the pearls of beauty; whether it
racks the sides and deforms the countc-
nance of vulgarity or dimples the visage,
or moistens the eye of refinement in all its
phases and on all faces, comforting, re.
laxing, overwhelming, convulsin@ throw
ing the human form into the happy, shak-
ing and quaking of idiocy, and turning
the human countenance into somethingap-
propriatc to Bill Buttons transformation
under every circumstance and every
where, laugh is glorious thing. Like
"thing of beauty" it is '.joy forever"
There is no remorse in it. 1t leaves
nothing-except in the sides, and that
goes off. Even a single, unparticipated
laugh is great affair to witness, But it
is seldom single. II is more infectious
than scarlet fever. You cannot gravely
contemplated laugh. Ifthere is one laugh
er, apd one witness, there are forthwith
two laughers And so on. The convul-
sion is propagated like sound. What
thing it is when it becomes epidemic.

A HAPPY REToRT.-A few days since,
during the trial ofa case of assault and bat
terry in the Superior Court in this city, a
lawyer, who is fond of quoting Latin, used
the expression, 'Nihil fit" whereupon his
witty opponent, assuming grave and in
dignant expression of countenaHce, said to
the jury that as "NihiP was not party
to the action, either as the assaulter or the
assaulted, it made no difference whether
''it" or not, or where, or when, or for what
purpose, or with whom, he fought. This
happy s'turn" threw the judge, jury and
spectators into fit of hearty laughter,
and 50 disconnected the quoter of foreign
tongues that he could not even make use
Of his own.

NUMBER 8.
Active Women.

As a rule it may be remarked, that noisy
women do much less than they seem to do,
and quiet women often do more But it
does not follow that all quiet women are
active; on the contrary six out of ten are
indolent, and work only on compulsion.--
Indolent women have their good points,
and one of the most valuable of these is
their quietness. 1t is great luxury in
domestic life; but perhaps it is luxury
which is too expensive for poor man,
unless he can get it combined with activ-
ity. The wife of poor man, no matter
what his profession or position, ought to
be active in the best sense of the word.
Sheought to rule her house with diligence,
but make no boast of it, Her managing
powers ought to be confined to her own
house, and never be sent out to interfere
with her neighbors. Her activity should
be kept healthy, by being exercised on
important matters chiefly, though the tri-.
hes must not be disregarded. A woman
who will make herself unhappy because
the usual custom of cleaning the house on
Friday is, on a particular occasion, inevi-
tably infringed, is inadequate to perceive
the difference between the lesser and the
greater. Some active women, who pride
themselves on their housekeeping, seem
to forget that the object in keeping house
is, that human beings may be accommo-
dated in it; the sole idea seems TO be this,
that the object of keeping house is that
the house may be kept in certain form
and order, and to the maintenance of this
form and order they sacrifice the comfort
the house was established to secure. Such
active women are pests to society, because
they want sense to direct and control their
energies.

FIRST IMPRESSION OF A RAILROAD
Dr. Ruff, speaking of the railroads that
have recently been constructed from Cal
cutta, says that some Of the old, incredu-
lous Brahmins in Bengal, when pursuad-
ed to be eye-witnesses, have been seen
knocking their 'foreheads in a sort of ago
ny, and exclaiming, as the mighty train
rolled swiftly along, that India himself,
their god of the armament, had no such
carriage as that.

ELooUENcE 1T is great pity that
the press cannot afford to have reporters
constantly in court to gather up and pre-
serve the sweet gems of literature, that
often fall from the lips of lawyers in sum-
ming up cases to the jury. One specimen /:
Gentlemen of the jury, if stole that
watch, shouldn't | have carried it off in
my pocket; wouldn't you, gentlemen p
wouldn't any consummate fool have done
so ?"-.Janesyille Standard.

DEATH OF A GREAr MAS.-Wheh

DEATH OF A GREAT MAN-Wheh a
great man dies, then has the time come
for putting us in mind that he was alive.
Biographies, sketches, criticisms, charac-
ters, anecdotes, "reminiscences, issue forth
Us from opened springing fountains; the
world, with a passion ghetted by impossi-
bility, will yet awhile retain, yet awhile
speak with, though only to the unanswer-
ing echoes, what it has lost without RENE
dy , thus is the last event of life often the
loudest; and real spiritual apparations
(who have been named mem, as false, i'm
aginary ones are fabled to do, vanish in
thunder.
