Good Health as an Element of Success.

It is no exaggeration to say that
health is a large ingredient in what
the word calls talent. A man
without it may be a giant intellect; !;
but his deeds will be the deeds of
q dwarf On the contrary, let him
have quick circulation. a good
digestion, the bulk thews and sim
ews of a man, and the alacrity, the
unthinking confidence inspired 1by
these, and though having but a
a thimb!eful. Of brains, he will
either blunder upon success or set
failure at defiance. 1t is true espe.

reason to think himself we'll of in
the lottery Of life if be draws the
prize of q healthy stomach with "a

without "a mind, or a prize of q
fine intellect with a crazy stomach.
But of the two, weak mind in a
hercu lean frame is better than a
giant mind in crazy constitution.
A pound of energy with an ounce
of talent will achieve greater re-

WHERE THE Sun NEVER SETs.-
The following paragraph is from
the description Of a scene witness.
ed by Mr.. Campbell and party in
the North of Norway, from a cliff
one thousand feet above the sea.
THE ocean stretched away in 81
lent vastness at our feet; the sound
Of the waves scarcely reached our
airy lookout; away in the North
the hufe old sun swung low along
the horizon, like the slow beat OF
the pendulum in the tall clock OF
our grandfather's parlor corner.
We all stood silent, looking at our
watches. When both hands came
together at twelve, midnight the
full round orb hung triumphantly
above the wave-a bridge of gold
running due North spanned the
water between us and him. There
he shone in silent majesty that
knew no setting. We involuntari.
ly took off our hats; and no word
was said. Combine, if you can,
the most brilliant sunrise and sun.
set you ever saw, and its beauties
will pale before the gorgeous color
ing which now lit up the ocean,
heaven and mountain. In half all
hour the sun had swung by percep-
tibly on its beat, the colors chang
ed to those of morning, a fresh
breeze rippled over the food, one
songster after another piped up in
the grove behind us-we had slid
into another day.
