BuIwer's Method.

BulWer's history of his literary
habits will furnish some valuable
suggestio to those who do not rec
OgniZe the value of time as applied to
literary labor. He says: Many
persons, seeing me so much Engaged
in active life, and as much about the
world as if I had never been a stu
dent. have said to me, When do you
get time to write all your books?
How on earth do you contrive to do
so much work?' l shall surprise you
by the answer I made. The answer
is this: | contrive to do so much by
never doing too much at time. A
man, to get through work we'll, must
not oVerWork himself. or, If he does
too much work to-day, the reaction
of fatigue will come, and he will be
obliged to do too little o-morrow.
Now, since began really aud earn
estly to study, which was not till |
left college, and was actually in the
world, l may, perhaps. say have
gone through as large a course OF gen
eral reading as most men of my tune.
1 have travelled much, and l have
seen much; l have mixed much In
politics and the various businesses of
life; and in addition to this, | have
published somewhere about sixty vol
umes, some upon subjects requiring
much research. And what time. do
you think. as a general rule, have l
devoted to study-to reading and
writing? Not more than three hours
a day; and, when Parliament is sit
ting, not always that. But then, dur
ing those hours, | have given my
whole attention to what was about. ="

ting the lead. Her arrangements for
taking fuel were better perfected.
while the Natchez, in her long stern
chase, was obliged to contend with the
heavy rolling swells Of the Lee,
which all our Cincinnati and New
Orleans toW-boat pilots understand TO
be no small matter.
Her swells generally wash a feet of
towboats fore and aft. and several
boats have scarcely lived through
them. There is little doubt that the
Natehez, fighting such rough water
all the way up, lost the difference In
time by it, having at one time her
buried in a swell, and the
next instant in the trough between
them. There are few here who doubt
that the Natchez, running against
tine, can set the pegs vet. We have
before stated that the Natchez leaves
a smooth river behind her, making
but single break, aud had she more

The Luxury OF IL 81 Dresses.

The following is clipped from the

Very few ladies know how TO ap
preciate an easy and healthful dress.
They think their dresses are loose,
when a man or boy put into one as
tight would gasp for want OF breath,
and feel incapable Of putting forth an
effort ex eept to break the bands. La
dies are so accustomed TO the tight
fits Of dressmakers that they fall to
pieees" when relieved Of them. They
associate the loose dress with the bed
or lounge. To be up. they must be
stayed up, and to recommend a com
Portable dress to them is not to meet
a conscious want of theirs.

it is TO breathe deep and full at every

dickens, MefbOd.

Never was human being more thor
ough. His friendship was a feTvent
reality, and he spared no pains. and
withheld no exertion, to serve those
whom he thought worthy, and to
whom his oountenance was valuable.
The whole energy of his nature-and
the passage in David Copperfeld in
which the hero attributes whatever
success he has acquired in life to his
faculty of devoting his whole strength
and thoughts to the subject in hand,
whatever it might be, precisely de-
scribes Charles Dickens himself-was
given to the friend as readily and
fully as to the days work, and it
would be impossible to say more.
Again, this kindly helpfulness was
more valuable in Dickens than in
most men, from his shrewd common
sense, his worldly wisdom, his bust
ness habits, his intense regard for
accuracy In detail.
Whatever he said should DE done,
those who knew him regarded as &C
complished. There was no forgetful-
ness, DO proorastinatiou, no excuse,
when the time for granting q prom
ised favor came. His hours and days
were spent by rule. He rose at GER
tain time, he retired at another, and,
though no precisian, it was not often
that his arrar gemonts varied. His
hours for writing were between break
fast and luncheon, and when there
was work to be done, no temptation
was sufficiently strong to cause it to
be neglected. This order and regu-
larity followed him through the day.
His mind was essentially methodlcaI,
and in his long walks, In his recrea
tions, in his labor, he was governed
by rules laid down by himself for
himself-rules we'll studied by him
beforehand, and rarely departed from.
The so called men of business, the
people whose own exclusive devotion
20 the science Of profit and loss makes
them regard doubtfully all to whom
that same science Is not the main OBJ
iect of life, would have been delighted
and amazed at this side of Dickens s
character. Proud of literature, as a
mistress, whom it was a privilege to
serve, true to the profession of letters,
as among the highest of human call
ings, he was ever careful to preserve
untarnished the trust conferred on
him by his genius, and never forgot
that it is as important to self-respect
to be exact In small things as In great

The Three Remedies. "SCHENCH's PUL-
HOMO SYRUP" for the cure of Coughs,
Colds, Bronchitis, and every form of Con-
sumption. The peculiar action of this med
icine ripens the ulcers in the lungs, pro-
notes the discharge of the corrupt matter
by expectoration. Purifies the blood, and
thus cures Consumption, when every other
remedy feils.
"Schenck's Sea-Weed Tonic" for the
cure of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all
diseases arising from debility. This tonic
invtgorates the digestive organs, supplies
the place of the gastric juice when that Is
deficient, and then enables the patient to
digest the most nutriciOus food. 1t is
sovereign remedy for all cases of indiges-
ton.
"Scheuck's Mandrake Pills." one OF the
most valuable medicines ever discovered,
being a vegetable substitute for calomel,
and having all the useful properties as
cribed to that mineral, without producing
any OF its injurious effects.
To these three medicines DR.. ]. RI
schenck, OF Philadelphia, owes his un-
rivaled success in the Treatment of Pull
monte Consumption. The PulmOnic Syrup
ripens the morbid matter, discharges 1t,
and purihes the blood. The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove all OBJ
structions therefron, give the organ
healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint,
which Ia one Of the most prominent causes
of Consumption.
The Sea- Weed Tonic InviKorates the
powers of the stomach, and by strengthen
ing ths digestion and bringing IL to nor
NAL and healthy condition, improves the
quality of the blood, by which means the
formation of ulcers or tubercles in the
lungs becomes impossible. The combined
