Good Health as an Element of
Success.

Tt is no exaggeration to say that
health is large ingredient in what
the world calls talent. A man with
out it may be a giant in intellect,
but his deeds will be the deeds of
a dwarf. On the contrary, let him
have a quick circulation, a good
digestion, the bulk, thews and sim
ews of a man, and the alacrity, the
unthinking confidence inspired by
these, and though having but a
thimbleful of brains, he will either
blunder If bon success or set failure
at defiance, 1t is true, especially
in this country, that the number of
contours in every communicate
men in whom heroic intellects are
allied with bodily constitution as
tough as horses-is small that in
general, a man has reason to think
himself well off in the lottery of
life if he draws the prize of a heal
thy stomach with a mind, or prize
of healthy stomach without a
mind, or a prize of a fine intellect
with a crazy stomach.
But of the two, a weak mind in
a herculean frame is better than a
giant mind in a crazy constitution.
A pound of energy with an ounce
of talent will achieve greater re-
suits than a pound of talent with
an ounce of energy Wit, judg-
ment, imagination, eloquence, all
the qualities of the mind, attain
with a vigorous constitution a force
and splendor impossible without
it. A mechanic may have tools of
the sharpest edge and highest pol
ish; but what are these without a
vigorous arm and hand? Of what
use is it that your mind has be-
come vast grRnary of knowledge,
if you have not strength to turn
the key ?-THome and Health.

while travelling in America. became
deeply interested In a young eoun-
try girl, who had never even visited
a city or large town. He was most
anxious to make her his wife 4: but
knowing the fastidious tastes Of
his family, he feared to take among
them one who could certainly have
no knowledge in the art Of dress.
His companion, an older and wiser
man, suggested, as no opportunity
could be offered to see the Young
lady In full dress In her country
home, that she and her sisters
should attend a ball in a neighbor-
ing place. The invitation was &C.
cepted, and the simple, elegant
toilet of the country girl so charmed
her noble lover, that he at once Of
tered her his heart and hand.
Is she the only one who ever
won a husband by her taste in
dress? We think not; for although
men certainly desire other qualities
in a wife, we never knew one who
to seeing his wife well and
tastefully attired.

INTERESTING ASTRONOMICAL FACT.
Two persons were born at the same
place, at the same moment of time.
After an age of fifty years they
both died, also at the same place
and at the same instant, yet one
had lived one hundred days more
than the other. How was this pos
sible2 Not to keep our friends in
suspense, the solution turns on q
curious, but with a little reflection,
a very obvious point in circumnayi-
CATION. A person going around the
world toward the west, loses o day,
and toward the east, he gains one.
Surprising, then, two persons born
together at the Cape OF Good
Hope, whence a voyage round the
world may be performed in q year /;
if one performs this constantly to-
wards the west, in fifty years he

tionary inhabitants and IL the
other sail equally toward the east,

seen one hundred days more than
the other, though they were born

Savings Banks.


Mr. EDITOR: In Communication in your
paper this morning, in regard to savings banks
it is stated that in Massachusetts 'The direc-
tors are required by law to return to.the assess
ors of towns the names of those depositors liv-
ing in those towns, and the amount of their de-
posits over $500, and a State tax of IA per cent
on the amount of. deposit is imposed besides"
I merely wish to say that there is no such
law in Massachusetts, or any where else, as
believe. rsa4 f, 81 Ga -.
Jan. II, 1872. RI -
I'VE do not know which law ssD' refers to,
but the provisions of Massachusetts Revised
Statutes chap 81, sect 100, are that the treas
urers of savings banks are required to return
to the assessors of towns, sc. the names OF all
depositors, of $500 and upwards, and also the
borrowers of such amount and upwards on
collateral security. Section 1872 provides that
upon the aoritten request of an assessor he shall
return sums of 5000 and upwards
