PUNCTUALITY.-Aftcr much tortur-
ing experience come to this, that nine
in ten do not know the value of time,
nor the morali y of a promise Why is
not an engagement to meet me at nine
o'clock as sacred as any bono ? Why is
it not the understanding that church
service or lecture commences at the
given hour, an acceptance on your part
if you 60, Of an agreement, and why are
you not false to it by your tardiucss;
why are You not bad friend because
of all the little miseries your inhdclty
entails? The world, Intercourse, affec
ton, great affairs, little details are
cursed prosperity, temper, character,
life jeopardied, lost by want Of pune
,uality. Unpunctual people are eve
rywhcre, aud everything encourages
them. i. is taken for granted that no.
thing will be "on time" and 50 every
body holds off to insure it.
The first ten minutes Of 4 religious
service are apt to be as ma:tyrdom to
preacher and punctual people. There
ought to be some contrivance by which
the tarly shall be made as uncomfort'
able us they, aud then we might hope
for change. But in this world it to"
much happens that comfortable stvli-
dity possesses the sinner, specially if
his sin be fashionable, and the sutfe!-
ings come upon those who must take
their comfort out in doing their duty.

FEMALE TEMPER.-No trait of char
actcr is more valuable in fema e than
the possession of a sweet temper. Oh
we can never be made happy without
it is like the flowers that spring up i'll
our pathway, reviviug and cheering US.
Let man 20 home at night, wearied
and worn by the tolls of the day, and
how soothing is word dictated by a
good disposition ! 1t IS sunshine falling
On his heart. He is happy, aud the
cares life are forgotten. A sweet tem-
per has soothing Influence over the
minds Of whole family Where it is
found 10 the wife aud mother, you OBJ.
serve kindness and love preduminating
over the natural feelings Of a bad heart.
Smiles, kind words and looks character.
ize the children, and peace and love
have their dwelling there. Study then
to acquire and retain sweet temper
1t is more valuable than gold it capti-
Yates more than beauty; and to the close
of life retains all its freshness and pow.

A PoRcINE JoKE.-Mr. sayre, Of
Lexington, KY, lisps little, and a
good story is told of him, the better for
its truth. Some years since an over
seer of one of his farms t,ld him he
needed soue hogs on his place. Says
Mr.. Sayre:
every we'll, go and buy four or FIVE
thputh and pigth right eway, and put
them on the farm"
The man, accustomed to obey, and
that without questioning, asked:
"Shall l take the money with me to
purchase with?"
mo thirl They all know me. Thend
them here-l'll pay for them, or give
you the money to pay for them when
you get them "
The overseer went his way, and in
two weeks returned, when the following
conversation took place:
"Well Mr. Sayre, I can't get that
many pigs. 1 have. ridden over the
country, all about, and can buy but be-
tween eight and nine hundred"
Eight or nine hundred what
Eight or sins hundred pigS1S -
.Eight- or nine hundred pigth! Who
told you to buy that many pigth Are
you fool?"
"You told ME to buy them two weeks
since. I have tried to do it"

'But you did-you told me to 60

II didn't do no thutch thing! ! told
you 10 go and buy four or five thows

ANEW DIsCovERY.-The New York
Sun says: Mr.. James A. Spurlock, ct
Versailles, a member, of the Missouri
bar, has made an important sc;eatiic dis
covery of another kind. His revelations
are perhaps best set forth in his own lam
guage, as follows:
I claim the honor of discovering the
centrifugal powers of nature that sustain
and spread out the starry heavens, and
cause them to revolve around the sun
and other fixed pla"ets or suns. | viii
publish book this coming Spring en-
titled "A Philosophy Of Heaven, Earth,
and the Miyenniun,,' in which | will
demonstrate in scientific way that the
heavens are built by master architect,
and so set in working order that SYM
metry, harmony, frmuess and eternity
are the results. That calamity or COL
lision ever did or ever can occur among
the the heavenly bodies. Take any
planet-this earth for instance-hun-
dreds of millions of away from its present
position in its orbit, and it will instantly
return. Gather the whole Of our solar
system into group, aud Icy will re-
sumo their present position. Bring, if
possible, the whole created heavens to-
gcther, and when released they will
spread out and stand and revolve in sys-
tewatic order, as now. | will sh VI
what causes the moon to GO around the
primary planets, and why collisions can
not occur. I refer skeptics to the pro-
fessors of Smithsonian Institute. 1 made
my discovery by reading the Bible in a
philosophical view, aud I consider it
fully demonstrates Chri>t's divinity and
proves the resurrection of the dead t"
every Intelligent thinker"

TRUE.-Bcautiful is old age-beaut,-
full as the slow dropping mellow autumn
of a rich glorious summer. In the old
man nature has fulfilled her work she
loads him with the fruit of well-spent
life; aud surrounded by his children,
she rocks him away softly to the grave.
TO which he is followed by blessings.
Gnd forbid that we should not call it
beautiful There is another life, hard,
rough and thorny, trodden with bleeding
feet and aching brow; aabattle which no
peace follows this side of the grave;
which the grave gaps to finish before
the victory is won; and strange that it
should be-this is the highest life of
man. Look back among the great
names of history, there is none whose
life has been other than tfis.
