The INTIMATE RELATION OF BoDy AND
SoUL.-It is remarkable what analogy
exists between the bodily phenomena aud
the emotions; heroism and daring pour
life and vigor through the blood.vessels
ard muscles; the eyes sparkle, the breast
expands, every limb prepares, as it were,
for battle; man looks like fiery steed.
Terror and fear extinguish the fire of the
eyes, the limbs feel heavy and powerless,
the marrow of the bones seems CONCEAL
ed, the heart feels oppressed, a general
sense of fainting paralyzes the organs
A great, bold and exalted thought COM
pels us to stand on tiptoe, to raise our
heads, to dilate our nostriis and to open
widely our mouths. The feeling of in.
finitude, the unobstructed view Of far
reaching horizon. the sea. and similar
scenes. compel us to extend our arms as
if we would give ourselves up to the in-
finite At the sight of mountains we
want to reach upward to the skies; We
feel like rushing onward with hurricanes
aud waves; hatred manifests itself in the
bodily life by repelling power, whereas
friendship desires to realize oneness
with the friends body by every shake Of
the hand, every embrace, even as tn,
souls form one; pride raises the body
pusilanimity lowers the head the limb
become relaxed a servile fear is showr
by the crawling gait; the idea of pair
distorts our features, whereas,the thought
of delight embelishes our whole form
anger has torn the most powerful bonds
aud necessity has almost conquered i'm
possibilities. Schiller.

KILPArRIcK.-In speaking of the SER
vices of this pure patriot, Mr.. B. f. San
born, of the Springfield Republican, writ
ing from Maine to his paper, says; "Kil-
patrick did the Liberals more harm than
good in this State, as l have TO doubt he
did in Vermont"
A Hudson milkman was overheard
singing to his fellow-craftsmen, "Yes, we
will gather at the river" He meant
more than he said.
If the young would remember that
they may be old, and the old would re-
member that they have been young the
world would be much happier.
Happiness is perfume which one can
not shed over another without few drops
falling on ones SELF He that would make
others happy must be happy himself.

HABITS OF LITERARY MEN.-John
Calvin commenced his daily studies at
five or six in the morning, reading and
writing in bed for hours together. If
business required him to go out he would
rise and dress, but, on his return, again
went to bed. As he advanced in years
he wrote little with his own hand but
dictated to secretaries, rarely having oc-
casion to make any corrections. Some-
times his faculty Of composition would
fail then ho would quit his bed, attend
to his outdoor duties for days, weeks,
and even months together, and not think
Of writing until he felt the power had re-
turned. Then he would go to bed, send
for his secretary and resume his labors.
The great Cardinal Richeleu, who was
dramatist as well as prime minister Of
France, usually went to bed at eleven,
slept three hours, would rise write till
eight in the morning, now and then
amusing himself by playing with his cats,
of which he was very fond.
Button, the naturalist, rose early and
worked perpetually. His great Studies
of Nature" cost him fifty years Of labor,
before he sent it to the printers. He
composed in singular manner, writing
on large sized paper, on which, as in a
ledger, five distinct columns were ruled.
ln the first column he wrote down the
first thought; in the second he corrected,
and enlarged and pruued it and SO On
until he had reached the fifth column,
within which he finally wrote the result
OF his labor, But even after this, he
would recompose sentence twenty times,
and once devoted fourteen hours to fad
the proper word with which to round off
period.
Cuvier, who raised comparative ana
tony to science, never had occasion to
copy his manuscript. He composed very
rapidly, the proper words falling into the
proper place, and everything being ar.
ranged in his mind in a very orderly
manner.
Bossuet, the French divine, who left
fifty volumes of his own manuscripts, rose
at four, wrapped himself up in a loose
dress of bear.skn, and wrote until, from
sheer fatigue, his hand refused 20 hold
the pen. Then he would return to bed,
take the sleep of exhaustion, and, on
awaking' go through the same process
again.

A priest, the other day, who was ex-
aiming a confirmation class in the south
of ireland, asked the question, "What is
the sacrament of matrimony?" a little
girl at the head of the class answered,
"Tis state of torment into which souls
enter to prepare them for another and
better world being" said the priest,
"the answer for purgatory.' "Put her
down." says the curate, "put her down to
the foot Of the class" "Leave her alone"
said the priest, "for anything you or |
know to the contrary she may be perfect
ly right"

AN INGENIOUS Rum SELLER.-The fol-
lowing story is told by the Boston Jour
nal.
The rigid enforcement of the prohibi-
tory law, adopted in some OF the cities
and towns OF this State, occasions some
remarkable displays cf inventive genius
on the part Of the prosecuted liquor sell
ers, und the state constables sometimes
meet wuh great difficulty in searching
for the prescribed beverage. One in
Northbridge the other day, after a long
search, was about to give it up, when,
happening to take out one of the shelves
in cupboard at the head of the stairs,
he beheld the long sought for beer faucet
projecting through the plastering in such
manner as to be entirely covered by the
shelf when in place. A wire ran through
the wall, which, when pulled, opened the
cock and let on the beer. How the keg
was put there was the next question, but
search in the cellar revealed trap in
the floor, which when removed opened
the passage to the beer keg. From the
beer keg lead pipe ran through the
wall of the house to the stairway above,
where portion of the balustrade was so
arranged that it could be easily taken
out, giving access to the end of the pipe.
A tunnel could be here inserted and any
kind of liquor easily passed through the
pipe to the jugs, from which it could be
easily drawn into the little cupboard.

Hon. VIM. Rounds and wife left town,
Tuesday, for two weeks tour in Penn
sylvania During his absence the Major
will visit the battle field of Gettysburg.
The Major was participant in the bloody
fight Of Gettysburg, and visit to the
battle ground will undoubtedly call up
memories of the past, when Lee and his
rebel hordes wore invading the Keystone
State. Major Rounds still cherishes
vivid recollections of that terrible conflict
and unlike one other Vermont Major, he
has not yet lost all love for the old flag,
which Aoated triumphantly on that me-
moraole July morning, when so many of
Vermont's bravest and best fell fighting
in defence of their country-and he has
no desire to see the glorious ensign of our
country trailing in the dust through the
Vaccinations Of designing rebels, who are
now striving to gain by the ballot, that
which they lost by the bayonet.-Chester
cor. Rutland Herald.

Stop THE INTEREST Daniel Webster

and when they came to the wine, dusty
old bottle was carefully decanted by Pc

bottle. he poured out Mr., Webster's glass
aud handed it to him. Then pouring out
another for himself, he held it to the light
and said "How do you like it, Mr..
Webstcr?" 81 think it fine specimen
of old Port" Now you can't gaess what
that cost me ?" said the host. "Surely
not" said Mr.. Webster, "I only know
that it is excellent" swell, now, l can

the other day. When l add the interest

STANLEY AGAIN.-A somewhat curious
paragraph in one of Mr.. Staney's des-
patches to the New York Herald has been
seized upon by the newspaper circles of
England as suggesting very nearly a
justification for many of the severe re-
marks that have been made by Engish
newspapers as to to the genuincness OF
the famous Livingstone letters A lead
ing London journal says; Mr.. Stanley
is very angry because some ;ncredulous
people decline to believe in the literal
accuracy of his stories about DR.. Living

for he has bone great deed, and all his
more important statements have

should remember that it is very difficult
to apprehend all at once change so con

Stanley writes to the Herald-we quote
the paragraph from the New York Nat
ion-that when he told Dr. Livingstone
of Mr.. Greeleys candidate for the Presi
dency, the DR.. said Hold on You
