Tolerance.

1t is great mistake to imagine that
We can make others think as we do. and
on this theory erect our opinion into
shrine at which all must worship. Our
convictions may be law for ourselves, but
we have no right to make them law for
others. This world is made up of
great many stubborn people. who stub
bornly insist on having great many
different opinions. In many things we
are all alike; in ten thousand things we
are slightly different. Convictions are
the property Of all earnest and reflect
ing minds; but dear as our convictions
are to ourselves, they may be unsreaka-
bly, repulsive and foolish to others. We
have no right therefore to make our opin-
ions, however well matured they may be,
the standard of propriety, and demand
that Others shall conform to them. Our
friend may no more be able to think as
we do than we are to think as he does !;
to exact conformity to our ideas under
such circumstances is therefore, insup-
portable tyranny. We cannot mag
inc, sometimes, how our acquaintance
can have certain opinions, and can do
certain things; but that is their business
not ours. Each living soul is a centre
to itself, but not centre to others. Toll
Grafton, then-a lesson which the world
has been learning Cor ages, but never
vet mastered-is one of the first duties
we need to observe in our relations with
others. We must be charitable and
learn to recognize the fact that another
may be quite as good as ourselves, even
though he thinks very differently. II
persons, sects, and people could and
would observe this sublime duty, the
world would become an Eden of peace
and beauty.

A MISTAKEN SERVICE. They tell a
good story in Pekin ofGov. Seward when
there-doubtless lie, but too good
story to be lost for that. The expecta-
tions of the ex-governor were doubtless
great when he entered the great capital
of this great empire, with which he had
made great treaty; and he therefore
INDUCED in these great expectations of
a great welcome. As he entered the
gates of Pekin, great funeral process
sion was coming out with music, catafal-
que, ETC., all as imposing as grand pro-
cession of some great dead man could
we'll be made. The governor was enter
ing with the marine band of the Colora-
do, mounted on dopkeys, as this grand
procession was going out. The great
living and the great dead thus met. The
governor, naturally enough, concluded
this was in honor of his grand entree,
and he rose, and rose, in his open sedan
chair, and bowed aud bowed, and then
ordered halt and got out and bowed,
and bowed, and bowed again, to the cat
afalque and the dead. The Chinese
think all foreigners are rather mad, and
hence did not marvel over it as much as
they might; but when Gov. Seward
found out what he bad done, the story is
that he was more mad than pleased

MENTAL SYsTEM.-The matter of con-
centrating the mind on the matter in
hand, to the exclusion of all other things,
is one of the rarest and most valuable
gifts with which a man can be endowed.
To commence with theory, to think it
out to its legitimate results, TO reduce
these results to concrete form, and, if
it be in material science, to proceed to
experiment and practice, without diverg-
ing in any direction, from the purpose,
is spossibleto to very few men. And we do not
think weare overstating the case when we
assert that in proportion asa man is gifted
with this faculty, he will become success
full investigator of the phenomena OF ma
ture. Certain it is, that the most eminent
men in the scientific world have been re
markable for this power of self-concentra-
ton; and the study of nature and her laws
which go from process to process, and
from fact to fact, by strict induction and
with inexorable logic-is the pursuit of
all Others for the employment of this in
valuable talent, as wellas for the increase
of its strength. The study of nature, in
other words science, is the best occupa-
ton for the mind, if it be desired
to systematic the thinking faculty, and
to produce the greatest result from the
exertion of the intellect. 1t is one phase
of the same power, of which thorough
ness of work is another; for, if the abil-
ity of mental concentration can be &C.
quired, it is by doing most thoroughly
and earnestly the work in hand. So the
true worker or thinker never wastes time
and strength in going back to what he
has already accomplished but, having
done it once, he is prepared for the next
process, and so goes on with the least pos.
sible dispersion of his mental force.-Sci.

To THE GIRLs.-Do not trust to un-
certain riches, but prepare yourself for
every emergency in life. Learn to do
work, and be not dependent on servants
to make your bread, sweep your floors,
or mend your clothes. Above all, do
not esteem too lightly those young men
who sustain themselves by the work of
their own hands, while you favor and
receive into your company those lazy
er-do-wells, who never lift finger to
help themselves as long as they can keep
body and soul together, and funds suffi-
cient to live in fashion.
