MEN WITHOUT HEARrs.-Wc some
times meet with men who seem to think
that any indulgence in an affcc,ionate
feeling is weakness. They will return
from u journey, aud greet their families
with a distant dignity, and move among
their children with tho cold aud lofty
splendor OF an iceberg surrounded BY
its broken fragments. There is hardly
more unnatural sight on earth than
one of those families without a heart
A father had better extinguish boys
eyes than take away his heart. Who
that has experienced the joys Of friend
ship, aud values sympathy aud affection,
would not rather lonse all that is beau
tiful in natures scenery than be robbed
Of the hidden treasures of his heart 7
Cherish, then, your hearts best affee-
tions. Indulge ia the warm aud gush.
ing emotions Of fiial, paterual, aud fra.
terpal love- HISS Maloch.

QuARRELiNo. If any thing in the
world will make man feel badly, ex-
cept piuching his fingers in the crack
ofa door, il is unquestiouably quarrel. /.
No nun ever fails TO think less of him
self after il than before. Il degrades
him 10 the eyes Of others, and, what Is
worse, hunts his seusibilisies on the
one hand, and increases She power Of
passionate irritability on The other. The
truth is, the more peacefully and quietly
wo get on, the better for our neighbors.
In nine cases out Of ten. the better course
is. if man cheats you, cease to deal
with him; If he Is abusive, quit his com.
pany; and IL he ISLANDERS You, take caro-
10 live so that nobody viii believe him.
No matter who he is, or how he misuses
you, the wisest way is to let him alone;
for there is nothing better than this
cool, calm, and quietway Of dealing with
the wrongs we meet with.

passes, the Monday morning Of life

curloslties Of Ice.


In 1850 Mr.. Farraday discovered
that two piecesof ice placed iu contact
frozc together alinest Instantly. Mr.. !
Tyndail says Gone hot summer day /
entered shop on the Straud. Ca the
window fragments Of ice were lying 10
a basin. The tradcsman gave me per
mission to take the piece Of ice in my
hand. Holding the first piece, | at
tached all the other pieces IN the basin
to it. The thermometer was then above
sixty degrees, and yet all the pieces
were frozen together" In this way
MI. Tyndall formed chain of ice.---
Ttis experiment may be made even 10
hot water. Throw two pieces of ice 10
full pail Of almost boiling water, keep
them in contact and they will freeze TO.
gether despite the high temperature.
Mr.. Farraday made another experiment
of the same sort He threw into a YES.
sci full Of water several small pieces of
ice. They aoated on the surface Of the
water The moment one piece touched
another there was an instantaneous re-
freezing. Attraction soon brought all

PEpPER.--Pepper is an almost uni-
versal condiment, Black pepper irri-
tates and inflames tho coating of the
stomach, red pepper does MOTT cxcites,
but does not irritato; consequently it
should be used instead Of black pepper.
1t was known to the Romans, aud has
been in use in the East Indies from
time immemorial, as il corrects that
fatulence which attends the large use
Of vegetable food. Persons in health
do not need any pepper 10 their food,
but to those Of weak aud languid stoin-
achs, it is manifold more healthy to use
cayenne pepper at weals than any form
Of wine, brandy, or beer that be named,
because il stimulates without the rcac.
tion Of sleepiness or debility.
