1t is energy Of will that is the soul Of the
intellect wherever it is, there is life where
it is not, all is dullness aud dependency and
desolation. People who have no experience
Of it imagine that it is destructive to the

it aggrayates the wear aud tear Of life oGves-

the habits aud humors Of those whe entertain
it. We leave it to any man, who knows its
real effect, TO strike the baance-to compare
the exhaustion Of an indolent day with that OF
an active one to say in which OF the two
cases the subject is in better heart for work
and fitted to undergo it,
Whatever we may be about, one thing we
believe, is certain, that if the spirits are spent
by energy they are utterly wasted by idleness
at worst, energy can only end in relaxation
il is superior to it for a while, and possibly at
last may fall into it whereas, idleness is ac-
tual relaxation from first to last, and can be

as it is, is yet not favorable enough p be just

on the contrary, it is the greatest energy thai

In this country, our democratic institutions
have removed the superintendent pressure
which in the old world confines the servants
to a regular orbit They come here feeling
that this is somehow a land Of liberty, and
with very dim and confused notions Of what
liberty is They are, for the most part, raw,
unframed Irish peasants, aud the wonder is,
that, with all the uureasoning heats and
preudices Of the Celtic blood, there should
be even a small measure Of comfort and sue
cess in our domestic arrangements. There
will be constant changes and interruptions in
every domestic establishment, and constantly
recurring iuterregnums when the mistress
must put her own hand to the work, whether
the hand be trained or unframed.
As matters now arc, the young housekeep-
or takes life nt the hardest. She has way
Of looking at domestic duties which makes
them particularly hard and distasieiul to her.
She does not escape being obliged to do house,
work at intervals, but she does it in a weak,
blunderinp, confused way, which makes it
twice as hard and disagreeble as it need be-
We have many motorpathic institutions to
which women are sent at great expense to
have hired operators stretch and exercise
their inactive muscles. Would it not be
quite as cheerful and less expensive pro-

rubbing furniture, aud many other domestic
processes, Of which our erandmothers knew -?

Early Frugaliiy.

In early childhood, you lay the foundation
of poverty or riches, in the habits of your
children. Teach them to save everything
not for their own use, for that would make
them selfsh-but for some use Teach them
to share everything with their playmates but
never allow them to destroy anything. | once
visited family where the most exact econ
omy was observed, yet nothing was mean OF
uncomfortable. 1t is the character Of true
economy to be as comfortable on little, as
other can be with much In this family, wher
the father brought home package, the Older
children would, of their own accord, put away
the paper and twiue neatly, instead of throwing
them in the FIRE, or tearing them to pieces

The best thing to give to the poor is em-
ployment.
Silent deeds are better than Improbable
words.
The chief secret of comfort lies in not
suffering trAes to vex one, and in prudently
cultiyalng an underground of small pleasures,
since very few great ones are let on long
leases.
How easy it is to please and be pleased,
as well as edited, if one will take the fra
GRANGE Of the rose instead of the thorns and
hold the knife by the handle and not by the
edge.
The only way for man to escape being
found out is to pass for what he is. The
only way TO maintain good character is to
deserve it. 1t is easier to correct our faults
than to conceal them
There are many fruits which never turn
sweet until the frost has lain upon them
and there are many elements OF life that
never grow sweet and beautiful till sorrow
touches them.
