A CHICKEN DIET.--Among the patients
which Doctor S-had at one time, was
one to whom he had recommended diet
of chicken. While he was still under the
doctors care, it CHANGED that he, with Doc
tor S--and q number of other friends,
was invited to a gentleman's dinner party,
given by a mutual acquaintance. The
principal dish was fowls, and as the patient
sat on the right of the host, the platter was
passed to him first.
The man helped himself very freely
more so than politeness allowed-not only
to the annoyance of the host, but of Doctor
S---also, who happened to sit at the
farther end of the table, and who began to
think his chance was slim. Gazing for q
moment at the contents ofthe patients plate
the blunt man asked, in tone of halfre-
buke, halfridicule-
"Halloo, Jones, what are you doing2n
"Why, Doctor, you told me must eat
chicken" the patient replied.
''Yes, know did; but Ididn't tell you
to make hen-coop of yourself" retorted
the man of physic, amid the roars Of the
entire table.

PALSY AND THE KINa.--There is most
memorable instance, illustrating both the
weakness of yielding and the nobleness of
holding fast to ones convictions, in the
visit of Henry III. to Bernard de Palsy
in the Dungeons of the Bastile. The king
desired to give the celebrated potter his
liberty, asking, as the price of his pardon,
the easy condition of giving up his Protes-
tant faith. - --1..s-. ~ ~ ~.
"My worthy FRIEND" said the monarch,
'you have now been forty-five years in the
service of my mother and myself; we have
suffered you to retain your religion amidst
fire and slaughter. am now SO pressed
by the Guises and my people, that I find
myself compelled to deliver you into the
hands ofyour enemies, and tomorrow YOU
will be burnt unless you are converted. p
"Sire," answered the old man, II am ready
to give up the remainder of my life for the
honor of God. You have told me several
times that you pity me, and now in turn /
pity you, who use the words, 4 am COM
PEELED. 1t was not spoken like a king,
sire; and they are the words which neither
you, nor the Guises, nor the people shall
ever make me utter. Sire, l can die" BY
continually yielding the monarch had be-
come slave; by continually acting up to
his convictions, the potter had become more
than king. I ze

An idle fellow complaining of his lot said
he was the last child his mother ever had
-he was born on the last day of tho year,
and the last day of the month, and the last
day of the week. and he had always been
behind hand. He believed it would have
been fifty dollars in his pocket if he had
not been born at all This man belonged
to the same school of wits, no doubt, with
him who hired himself out for life, at eight
dollars month, half down, and the rest
when his time was out.

TINE TO FIsH.-An old fisherman says
that if man wants to catch fish whenever
he visits the creek, let him not pick the
full moon days to do it in. He gives a
philosophical reason for the advice. He
says when the moon is full, the nights being
bright, enable the fish to do all their for
aging in the night time. Ofcourse, having
their wants supplied, they lay up all day
and consequently there is scarcity Of
bites. Under new moon season, the fish
sleep at night and work by day, which
makes the difference in the fishermen's
string.

ngg- Girard, the famous French paintor

say" Girard, the famous French painter
when very young, was the bearer of a letter
of introduction to Lanjuinais, one Of the
council of Napoleon. The young painter
was shabbily attired, and his reception was
extremely cold; but Lanjuinais discovered
in him such striking proofs of talent, good
sense and amiability, that, on Girard's
rising to take leave, he rose too, and ac-i
companicd his visitor to the ante-chamber.
The change was so striking that Girard
could not avoid an expression of surprise

ADVANTAGES OF CRyING.--A French
physician publishes long dissertation ON
the advantages of grooming and crying in
general, and especially during surgical OPP
erations. He contends that grooming and
crying are two grand operations by which
nature allays anguish; that those patients
who give way to their natural feelings more
speedily recover from accidents and opera
tions then those who suppose it unworthy
man to betray such symptoms of coward
ice as either to groan or cry. He tells of q
man who reduced his pulse from one hun
dred and twenty-six to sixty in the course
of few hours, by giving full vent to his
Hpeople are at all unhappy about any
thing, let them go into their rooms and
comfort themselves with q loud boo-hoo,
and they will feel hundred per cent. bet
ter afterward. In accordance with the
above, crying of children should not be too
greatly discouraged If it is systematically
depressed the result may be st. Vitus's dance
epileptic fits, or some other disease of nerl
yous system. What is natural is nearly al
ways useful and nothing can be more ma
tural than crying of children when anything
occurs to give them either physical ormen-
tai pain.
Probably most persons have experienced
the effect of tears in relieving great sorrow.
1t is even curious how the feelings are allay-
ed by their free indulgence in groans
and signs. Then let parents and friends
show more indulgence to noisy bursts of
grief-on the part of children as well as of
older persons-and regard the eyes and
the mouth as the safety valves through
which nature discharges her surplus steam.

Weary.
Weary of living, so wearyl
Longing to lie down and die,
To find for the sad heart, and dreary,
The end of the pilgrimage nigh.
Weary, so weary Of wishing
For form that is gone from my sight,
For voice that is hushel to Inc ever,
For eyes that to me were so bright;
For hand to be laid on my forehead,
glimpse of the golden brown hair,
For step that to me was sweet music,
And brow that was noble and fair
Weary, so weary of waiting,
Waiting for sympathy sweet
For something to love and to love me,
And pleasures that are not so fleet.
Tired, so tired of drifting,
Adown the dark stream Of life;
Tired Of breasting the pillows,
The pillows of toll and strife.
Wishing and waiting so sadly,
For love that was sweetest and best.
Willing to die, oh, so gladly,
If that would bring quiet and rest

The Teachers Tnstit ute,

The yearly Institute has become an an
nual necessity. The amount of good re-
sulting from these to teachers, in the pre-
sentation and discussion. of improved
methods of teaching, in the earnest spirit
infused into all, in refreshing of minds
and general preparation for the winters
work, cannot be estimated. The session
recently closed, though lacking the con-
tinued presence of prominent educators
from abroad, was not wanting in solid
profit to its members One advantage re
sulting from requiring our own teachers
to conduct the various exercises, was great
er freedom in criticism and discussion
and consequent increase of benefit to the
participants. 1t is greatly to be regretted
that so many neao faces were presented at
the examination following the session.
We presume that no teacher in the coun-
ty is beyond improvement certainly no
one can afford to lose such opportunities
as are there presented. 1t might be well
For every School Board to make this one
of its requirements in employing teach
er. x
