EATING BETWEEN MEALs.-Among
the slight causes Of impaired digestion,
is to be reckoned the very general habit of
eating between meals. The powerful di-
gestion of the growing boy makes light of
all such irregularities; but to see adults
and often those by no means in robust
health, eating mullins, buttered toast, or
bread and butter, a couple of hours after
a heavy dinner, is distressing spectacle
to the physiologist. 1t takes at least four
hours to digesta dinner; during that pc
riod the stomach should be allowed to re-
pose. A little tea or any other liquid is
beneficial rather than otherwise, but solid
food is a mere incumbrance There is no
gastric juice ready to digest it; and if
any reader, having at all delicate diges-
tion, will attend to his sensations after
eating mullins or toast at tea, unless his
dinner has had time to digest, he will need
no sentence of explanation to convince
him of the serious error prevalent in Eng
lish families of making tea light meal,
quickly succeeding substantial dinner.
Regularity in the hours of eating is far
from necessary; but regularity of inter
walls is of primary Importance. 1t mat
ters little at what hour you lunch or dine,
provided you allow the proper intervals to
elapse between breakfast and luncheon,
and between luncheon and dinner. What
are those intervals? This is question
each must settle for himself Much de-
pends upon the amount eaten at each meal,
much also on the rapidity with which each
person digests. Less than four hours
should never be allowed after a heavy
meal of meat Five hours is about the av-
erage for men in active work. But those
who dine late--at six or seven-should
never take food again till breakfast next
day, unless they have been at theatre,
or dancing, or exerting themselves in leg
islation, in which case slight supper is
requisite. .-LeUis' Physiology Of Common

And thus it may be with your pride of
character. Under ordinary temptations it
may preserve you; but it is the misfor-
tune of most who elect the world to be
their god, that circumstances are created
by their sinful pursuits which bring them
into conflict with overwhelming tempta-
tions, before which they fall as swiftly
and as easily as did the boastful Anxur
beneath the sword of stern Eneas.
Take for Illustration the sad example of
that wretehod traitor, BENEDICT ARNOLD.
Favored by nature with brilliant military
talents, and by gentle providences with
favorable opportunities, he found himself
at the prime of life patriot general, a
popular and honored soldier, the husband
of beautiful wife, and the possessor of
an income ample enough to satisfy every
reasonable want.
But Benedict Arnold had long cherish
ed an inordinate self.esteem. Prosperity
stimulated its growth, and caused it to be-
come his evil genius. Pride vanity, and
ambition, took entire possession of his soul
To maintain splendid establishment he
sacrificed his property. And just then
when his pride of character ought to
have held him back from wrong, he was
tempted to dishonest peculations in his
disbursements of the public money. Dis
covered and reprimanded by order of
Congress, his now gloomy soul gave birth
to purposes of revenge. Pride of char
acter controlled him no more for avarice
and revenge tore it up by the roots. Then
he chose traitors destiny, and sought, as
you know, to sell his country for paltry
place and paltrier gold. His plans were
confounded. lie fed, and gained com
mission in the British army, and abundant
gold yet with these gains there came a
newborn nations hatred, and the scorn
of indignant world Never did mortal
man start in life with greater pride of
character, and never did mortal man 90
to his grave with moro shame and infamy
than this same Benedict Arnold, the trait
or
Such is the weakness of the pride of
character, even in an extraordinary man,
when strong temptations, like armed men,
enter his soul. How then, my dear young
reader, can you rely with anything like
confidence in your pride Of character for
protection against those mighty assaults
on the passions to which worldly life will
assuredly expose you?
But you feel no inclination to perpe-
trate those acts which lead to disgrrce p.
Prabably you do not. Your master pas
sion is not yet fully grown. Your hour of
conflict is not yet. Does that prove it will
never come? May the spark be despised
because it is not yet devouring fame p
Look into your heart not for present in
clination to dangerous vices, but for the
pleasure of those tendencies which lead
men into the circumstances which beget
uncomfortable lusts.
