ceipts, and when you see one which
seems TO be valuable, paste it in the
book under its proper alphabetical
head7 What a marvellous help any
husband might be to his wife and fam
lily in ways like these, and be saving
many dollar besides, instead of lolling
about on the sofa or chairs; or, with
feet on table or mantle, leaning back
and smoking filthy pipe Or noisome
cigar, or slipping the murderous brandy
and water, or vulgar "lager;" or vast
ing time in pitiful card playing or child
ish checkers or chess or backgammon
or solitaire, or any other useless time
numbering or mind-dwindling occupa-
tion; Or take a good long walk after
tea, with yourself, wife and children to
some profitable lecture; to some prayer
meeting, or other useful assemblage of
the good, keeping diligently away from
the theatre, the dance and the club
house, all three the equal destroyers Of
social purity, of domestic happiness and
family elevation. Fathers, mothers,
husbands, wives, think of these things,
and be encouraged to do them, by the
reflection that the editor of Halls Jour
nal Of Health has been practicing thus
for years, and keeps young and thrives
upon the same in physical well-being,
and is as lively as cricket and 1.-THE as
a lark, while all his college contempor-
aries have grown old and gouty and
string-halt and stiff, or have laid down
to rest in the peaceful grave; he the
only one of all his class who stands in
his lot fit for the duty of one man, and
doing that of three. But who knows
how soon it will be all over? Next
year, next week, tomorrow! for "we
are all as vapor that appeareth for a
little while, then vanisheth away
such shadows we are, such shadows We
persue. --HalpS Journal Of Health.

An ELOQUENT Passage.

at can not be that earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t can not be that
our life is a bubble cast up by the ocean
of eternity to float a moment upon its
waves, and sink into nothingness
Else, why these high and glorious as
pirations which leap like angels from
the temple of our hearts, forever wan
dering unsatisfed? Why is it that the
rainbow and cloud come over us with
beauty that is not of earth, and then
pass off to leave us to muse on their
ioveliness Why is it that the stars
which hold their festival around the
midnight throne, are set above the
grasp of our limited faculties, forever
mocking us with their unapproachable
glory? And finally, why is it that the
bright forms OF human beauty are pre-
sented to our view and taken from us,
leaving the thousand streams of our af-
feCtions to flow back in Alpine torrents
upon our hearts? We were born for a
higher destiny than earth. There is a
realm where the rainbow never fades,
where the stars will be spread out be-
fore us like the islands that slumber on
the ocean, and where the beautiful be-
ings that pass before us like shadows,
will stay forever in our presence. -
