REcREArIoS.-Spcaking Of the differ
ence between sport and dissipation, dam
cling and. old fashioned playing. Edward
Everett has remarked, THAT the Ameri-
cans, as people-at least !he profession
al and mercantile classes-have too little
considered the importance of healthful,
generous recreation. They have not
learned the lessen contained in the very
word, which tear'1es that the worn-out
man is recreated, made over again, by
the reasonable relaxation of the strained
faculties. Thrown upon new continent
eager to do the work Of twenty centu-
turics in two-the Anglo,American popu-
la,ioa has over-worked and is daily over
working itself From morning till ni=ht.
from January to December, brain and
head, eyes and fingers, the powers of the
body and the powers Of the mind, are in
spasmodic, merciless activity. There is
no lack of icw tastclnss, soullcss dissi-
pations, which are called amusememts
but nnble, athletic, sportslnanlkc out
door exercises are too little cultivated in
our :own and country"

The following beautiful passage is from
the pen of DR.. Gnthrie:

hiris OF jcweled lustre fash, and flicker
from among gorgeous flowers; The exile
sits staring upon vacancy far away
home lies ON his heart; and borne, on the
wings of fancy, over intervening seas,
and lands, be has swept away to home,
and hears the lark sing above his father 5
fields, and see. his tair.hcaded boy broth
or, with light foot and childhood's glee
chasing the butterfly by his native stream
And in his best hours, home, his own sin
less home-a home with Fathers above
that starry sky-will be the wisisef every
Christian man. Hc looks around him
The world is full of suffering; he is dis
tressrd by its sorrows, and veAed with

MARRIAGE never, says Mrs. Childs,
saw Il marriage expressly for money that
did not end unhaPpily. Yet managing
m',thers and hear.Ies daughters are coli1
rinuaily playing the same unlneky game,
believe men more frequently marry for
love than woucl, because they have a
free choice. am aSaid to conjecture how
large n portion Of women marry because
they think they will never have better
chance, and dread becoming dependent.
Such marriages do sometimes prove toll
er4bly comfortable, but greater number
would have been fAr happier single. II
| may Judge by my observation of such
matters, marrying for home is mos,
tiresome way of getting living.

A DELIGHTFUL LEaEND.-There charm
ing tradation connected with the site on
which the temple Of Solomon was erected
1t is said to have been occupied in com
mon by two brothers, one whom had q
family the other had none On this spot
was sown a field of wheat. On the eve
ming succeeding the harvest the wheat
having been gathered in separate shocks,
the elder brother said to his wife, ".My
younger brother is unable to bear the
burden and heat of the day; will arise,
take Of my shocks and place them with
his without his knowledge" The young.
er brother being actuated by the same
benevolent motives, said within himself.
"My elder brother has a family, | have
none; ! will contribute to their support
will arise, take my shocks and place
them with his, without his knowledge"
Judge of their mutual astonishment when.
on the following morning, they found
their. respective shocks ultdiminished.
This course of events trahspired for sew
eral nights, when each resolved in his
own mind to stand guard and solve the
mystery. They did so; when, ON the
following night, they met each other half
way between their respective shocks,
with their arms full. Upon ground hal.
lowed by such association as this was the

KEEP IN Coop HUMoR.-lt is not great
calarnities that embitter existence; it is
the petty vexations, the small jealousies
the little disappointments, the minor mise
ries, that make the heart heavy and the
temper sour. Don't let them. Anger is
pure waste of vitality; it is always dis
graceful, except in some very rare cases
when it is llindled by seeing wrong done
to another; and even then noble rage
seldom rncnds the matter.
