FooD FOR THE MIND.-Oliver Optic,
in his Boys aud Girls Magazine, gives
the children some good advice when be
says that our young people are too prone
to feed their minds with plum cake, can.
dies, preserves, and pickles. Good, whole.
some bread and meat do not satisfy them.
The consequence is, the mind soon re.
fuses bread and meat, and desires highly
spiced food, and at last only lives on
unnatural stlmulants until les power is
utterly gone. Story. books, novels, excit'
ing accounts Of murder aud crime, are to
the mind like cakes and sweet meats to
the body. lswould be far better to read
nothing than to read impure novels or
brutal accounts Of murders. History,
and the writings of sminently holy per.
sons, are to the mind like bread and meat
to the body. He expresses the hope that
all children who like to read his and
other stories will try and read st least
one hour every day some history or biog.
raphy, and take these excellent stories %
they would eat nice ripe fruit, Tho habit
thus formed in early life will prove .
blessing in ripper years.

William Wirts letter to bis daughter,
on "the small sweet courtesies Of life"
contains = passage from which great
deal of happiness might be learned: II
want TO tell you . secret. The way to
mako yourself pleasant to others is to
show attention. The whole world is like
the Miller At mansfield, who cared for
pobody-no, not he, because nobody
cared for him. And the whole world
would serve you so if you gave them the
cause. Let others see that you do care
for them by showing them what Sterne
60 happily called the small courtesics, in
which there is no parade, whose voice is
too still to tease, and which manifest
themselves by tender and afectionate
looks and little acts of attention, giving
others tho preference in overy little em.
ploy yment, at the table, in the field, walk
ing, sitting, and standing.
Recently it was stated that = young
