LORD MAcAULAY ON THE SAB
BATH.-Of course, I do not mean
that q man will not produce more in
a week by working six days. But |
very much doubt whether, at the end
of the year, he will generally have
produced more by working seven
days week than by working six
days O week; and | firmly believe
that at the end of twenty years he
will have produced less by working
seven days week than by working
six days a week. The natural differ
ence between Campania and Spitzber-
gen is trifing when compared with
the difference between q country in
habited by men sunk in bodily and
mental dccrepitude. Therefore it is
that we are not poorer, but richer, be-
cause we have, though many ages,
rested from our labor one day. in
seven. That day is not lost. While
industry is suspended, while the plow
lies in the furrow, while the exchange
is silent, while no smoke ascends from
tho factories, a process is going on
quite as important to the wealth of
the nation rs any process which Is
performed on moro busy days.
Man, the machine of machines - the
machine compared with which all the
contrivances Of the Watts and Ark
wrights are worthless is repairing
and winding up, no that he returns to
his labors on the Monday with clearer
intellect with livelier spirits, with re-
newed corporeal vigor.

around. The train was at full
speed; but the Lrakcemen wrestled
at their leverage with all the
strength of desperation.
The wheels ground along on the
heated rails slower and slower, m
til the engine stopped at the de-
caying fire. 1t still blazed enough
to show them the bectling edge of
the black abyss into which the
train and all. its passengers would
have plunged, aud into death and
destruction too horrible to think of
and had. it not been for the old wo-
mans signal. They did not stop
to thank her first tor the deliver
ance. The conductor kneit down
by the side of the engine; the ell
gine driver and the brakemen came
and knelt down by him; all the
passengers came and knelt down
by them; and there, in tha expir-
ing light of the burut-out pile, in
the rain and wind, they thanked
God for the salvation of their lives.
All in line the kneelers and pray
ers sent up into the dark heavens
such a midnight voice of thanks
giving as seldom, if ever, ascend
ee from the earth to Him who secth
in darkness as well as in secret.
Kindness is the music of good
will to men; and on this sharp the
smallest fingers may play heavens
sweetest tunes on earth.

,AFE MAxlMs FOR ALL

SAFE MAx1Ms FOR ALL.-The
World estimates men by their success
in life; and, by general consent, sue
cess is evidence Of superiority. New
er, nnder any circumstances, assume
a responsibility you can avoid cousis-
tenty y with your duty toyourself and
others. Base all your actions upon q
principle Of right; preserve all your
integrity of character in doing this,
never reckon the cost. Remember
that self:interest is moro likely 10
warp your judgment than all other
circumstances combined; therefore
look well to duty when your duty is
concerned. Never make money at
the expense Of your reputation. Be
neither lavish or niggardIy-of the
two avoid the latter-a meat, man is
universally despised; but public ia.
vor is stepping stone to prefrrment
therefore generous feeling should be
cultivated. Let your expenses be
such as TO leave balance in your
pocket-ready money is. a friend in
need. Keep clear Of the law: fol
when y5u gain your case, you are
generally loser Of money. Never
relate your misfortuncs, and neve1
grieve over what you cannot prevent
No man who owes Us much as be can
pay has any moral right to pledge
his credit by endorslnga bill tor an
other.

A Great Farmers Maxims.

The successful life of Mr.. Jacob
Strawn, the Prince Of American far.
mers, is attributed to the close obser,
vance Of the following maxims, orig.
mated hy himself:
When you wake up, do not roll
over, but roll out 1t will give you
lime to ditch all your soughs, break
them, harrow them and SOW with
timothy and rod clover. One bushel
Of clover to two bushels Of Timothy
is enough.
Make your fence high, light and
strong, so that it will keep cattle and
pigs out
If you have a brush, make your
lots secure and keep your hogs from
the cattle, for if tho corn is kept clean
they will cat it better than if it is
not.
Be sure to get your hands to bed
by seven o'clock, they will rise early
by force Of circumstance Pay Il
hand if he is a poor band, all you
promise him; if h ; is good one. pay
him little more; it will encourage
him to do still better.
Always feed your hands as we'll as
you do yourself. for the aboring men
are the bone and sinew Of the land,
and ought to be we'll treated.
am satisfied that getting up early,
industry aud regular habits, are the
bes medicine prescribed for health.
When rainy, bad weather comes, so
so that you can't work out doors, cut
split and haul your wood.
Make your racks, fixing your fence
ora gate that is off its hinges, or
ather-boarding your barn where
the wind has blown the siding off, or
patching the roof Of your barn or
house.
Study your interest closely. and do
not spend any time in elccting Pres
idents, Senators and other smaller
officers. or talking Of hard times when
spending your time in whiting store
boxes, etc.
Take your time and make calcula-
tions; don't do things in b hurry, but
do them at the. right time, and keep
your miud as we'll as the body en-
ployed.

A SWEET TEMpER.-N No trait of
character is more valuable in a wo-
man than the possession of sweet
temper. Home can never be made
happy without it. 1t is like the flow
ers that spring up in the pathway,
reviving and cheering us. Let u
man 20 home ut night wearied by the
tolls Of the day, and how soothing is a
word dictated by a good disposition
1t is sunshine falling on his heart.
He is happy and the cares Of lite are
forgotten. A sweet temper has a
soothing influence over the mind of o
whole family Where it is found in
the wife and mother you observe
kindness and love predominating over
the natural feelings Of y bad heart,
characterize the children, and
smiles, kind words and looks
peace and love have their dwelling
there. A sweet temper is more val
liable than gold; it captivates moro
than beauty, and to the close of life it
retains all freshness and power.
