The PIInCtual Man.

Mr. Higgins was very punctual man in
all his transactions through life. Heamass-
ed large fortune by untiring industry and
punctuality and at the advance age OF
ninety years was resting quietly on his bed,
and calmly waiting to be called away. He
had deliberately made almost every arrange
ment for his decease and burial
His pulse grew fainter, and the light Of
life seemed just Pickering in its sockets wher
one of his sons observed
Father, you will probably live but a day
or two; is it not well for you to name youl
bearers p
TO be sure, my son." said the dying
man, lit is well thought of, and will do il
now.
He gave the names of six; the usual mum
ber, and sunk back exhausted upon hi.
pillow.
A CLEAN of thought passed over his with
cred features like ray Of light, and he raj
lied once more My son, read me the list
Is the name of Mr.. Virgins there p
at is father.
Then strike it off !" said he, emphatic,
ally, 'for he was never punctual-was never
anywhere in season, and he might hinder
the procession whole hour.

Labor TO Improve.

What you do, perform well, and labor to
improve. Are you an artist? Keep in
view the high nature of your calling; emu
late the example Of Raphael and Davinci
Are you lawyer? Rest not satisfied with
being mere petifogger, collector of bills,
pleader in the lower courts; study, that
you may take a higher rank. Are you a
minister? Preach well and study your sub
ject. Don't be lazy, drawing pastor of a
meager church; elevate your people, and
put energy into them by your discourses;
there Is no reason why you should not be a
Baxter or Bunyan, Payson or a Beech
er. Are you mechanic? Let an Ark
wright and Watt stimulate you; never
suffer an article to 60 from your shop that
won bear scrutiny-that you would not
be willing to stamp the maker name upon.
Are you a merchant? Be attentive to your
business understand perfectly what you
are about, leave not your office too much in
the hands Of clerks; suffer not your ac-
counts to 90 TO loo-e ends. Let Gregor,
Parker, Dana, or a Brown be your pat
tern. Are you a laborer ? 4 fisherman or
clam digger Be faithful to your bust
ness and do everything well: it is the only
way to succeed.
Aim high, 20 beyond others if you can,
but study and labor so that no one outsteps
you in your profession or business. Never
be idle, never lose moment by sloth and
a lazy spirit; 'up and on should be your
motto by day and by night-year in and
year out.

What Hope Did.

1t stole on its pinions to the bed Of dis
ease; the sufferers frown became smile the
emblem of peace and love.
1t went to the house of mourning, and
from the lips of sorrow there came sweet
and cheerful songs.
1t laid its head upon the arm of the
poor, which stretched forth at the hand of
unholy impulses, and saved him from dis
grace and ruin.
1t dwells like living thing in the bosom
of the mother, whose son tarried long after
the promised time of his coming, and saved
her from desolation and the care that kill
eth. "
1t lowered about the head of the youth
who had become the lshmael of society and
led him on to works which even his eme-
mics praised.
1t snatched maiden from the jaws of
death, and went with an old man to heav-
en-.
No hope my good brother Have it
keep it always with you. Wrestle with it,
that it may not depart. 1t may repay your
pains. Life is hard enough at best, but
hope shall lead you over the mountains,
and sustain you amid its pillows. Part

Scientific Facts About Bed
rooms.

If two persons are to occupy bedroom
during night, let them step upon weighing
scales as they retire, and then again in the
morning, they will find their actual weight
at least Il pound less in the morning. Ere
quently there will be loss of two or more
pounds, and the average loss throughout the
year will be more than one pound. That is.
during the night there Is a loss of pound
Of matter which has gone off from the bodies,
partly from the lungs, and partly through the
pores of the skin. The escaped material is
carbonic acid and decayed animal matter, or
poisonous eXhalations. This is diffused
through the air, in part, and in part alb
sorbed by the bed clothes. If single ounce
Of cotton or wool be burned in a room it will
so completely saturate the air with smoke,
that one can hardly breathe, though there
can be but one ounce of foreign matter in
the air. 1t an ounce Of cotton be burned
every half hour during the night, the air
will be kept continually ly saturated with smoke
unless there be an open door or window fol
it to escape. Now the sixteen ounces Of
smoke thus formed is far less poisonous thar
than the sixteen ounces Of exhalations from
the lungs and bodies of the two persons who
have lost pound in weight during the eigh
hours of sleeping; for, while the dry smoke
Is mainly taken into the lungs, the damI
odors from the body are absorbed both into
the lungs and into the pores Of the whole
body. Need more be said to show the i'm
portance ofhaving bedrooms well ventilated
and of thoroughly airing the sheets anC
coverlids and mattresses in the morning
before packing them up in the form of q
neatly made bed ?

Hints for Buying a Horse.

Few persons are acquainted with the
mode of judging a horse by the teeth. As
the lesson can be learned by note in very
few moments, intending purchasers will do
well TO commit it to memory. At two
years old the horse sheds the two middle
teeth of the under jaw; at three years old
he sheds two other teeth one on each side
of those shed the year before; at four years
cd he sheds the remaining or corner teeth
at five years old the two middle teeth are
full, being no longer hollow, as the Others
are and the teeth will have penetrated the
gums, at six years old the four middle teeth
are full, the tusks larger and thicker and
the horse is said to be aged, Occasionally,
however, these marks will slightly vary,
good deal, depending on the animals CON
stitution whether he be late or early fioal;
also upon the manner IN when the aninai
has been reared, the kind of food, shelter,

Water for Sheep.

There are some farmers, says the Geaeset
Farmer, who entertain the opinion that
sheep do not need water in winter. Others
think if the sheep need any water, the, sat
isty their thirst by eating, snow That
sheep need water there can be no doubt. -
In Mr.. Lawes recent experiments the
sheep were allowed all the water they wan
ted, and those fed on hay alone, drank,
from February 22d to March 22d, on an
average, 80 pounds of water per head pei
week. The next month they drank 40
pounds each per week; the next month AZ
pounds; the next month 39 pounds; and du
ring the whole period of seven months,
each sheep drank, on an average, 40 pounds
yer week.
