sE Rest of body and mind, in case
of disease, is of incalculable value.
The animal creation instinctively court
rest at the very first onset Of sickness
or bodily injury, and they get well with
out medicine. Hence, in all ordinary
ailments, muscular rest, that which is
obtained by lying down on the back in
bed, is very great aid in restoring to
health, if persevered in. But the mis-
fortune is, that with multitudes time is
money; 1t is mans great aim and de-
sire; his only means of keeping his
wife and children from starving. Hence
it is, that an intelligent and humane
physician often gives medicine prompt
ly, when he knows very well that rest
would be better and more enduring
cure, because his patient cannot spend
the time to get we'll by simple rest.
Then, also, he gives medicine to others
in cases where he would not take it
himself; he prefers to take time rather
than physic. But there is another form
of rest far more valuable as restora-
tive, than mere muscular rest: it is the
blessed fest which il given by sleep.

A VERY CANDID MAN.-The s unday

ing: l..
A rather good thing-we don't vopch
for its truth, howeyer-is told at tn y ex-
pense of an estimable citizen of Bar
tholomew county, whose only fault is q
tendency to tarry longer than is sani-
tary at the wine when it moveth itself
Alright. Notwithstanding this mfr nifty,
Joe is held in high esteem by his neigh.
bors who honor him for his industry,
truthfulness, candor and other manly
virtues. One might, during n prUtr net.
ed meeting, Joe struggled into th q
neighborhood church little dru nker
than anybody had ever seen him before,
and came to an anchor among q herd
Of unregenerate goats on the back
seats. The heat of the room and the
fumes of the liquor induced a gentle
somnolence, half-sleeping and half-wak-
ing, during which he heard but needed
not the earnest words of the preacher.
Finally, however, the inquiry, "Where
now is the drunkard?' propounded in
louder tone, thoroughly aroused our
1uuOAeu IIeuu, ana ne promptly re-
sponed, in equally clear tones: Here I
am"
The preacher was disconnected. "I
was not alluding to you personally, Mr..
H" he explained. The remark
was general" "Yer 'pology's 'cepted,"
replied Joe grandly, and the preacher
continued. After few moments ha
said:" Where, now, is the hypocrite ?"
This again aroused Joe. "There he is;
over there" he replied, pointing with
his finger. Tom Peasley, why don't
you answer when your names called"
This was too much, and Joe was snaked
out by couple of deacons. As he was
going out he was heard to mutter: ~
never 60 back on nothing, I don't.
But there's that Tom Peasley haint he
got cheek?"

MADISON AS TEMPERANCE Man.
Many years ago, when the temperance
movement began in Virginia, ex-Pres-
ident Madison lent the weight of his
influence to the cause. Case-bottles
and decanters disappeared from the
sideboard at Montpelier-wine was no
longer dispensed to the many visitors at
that hospitable mansion. Nor was this
oil. Harvest began, but the customary
barrel of whisky was not purchased,
and the song of the scythemen in the
wheat field languished. In lieu of
whisky, there was beverage most in
nocous, unstimulating and unpalatabls
to the army of dusky laborers.
The following morning, Mr.. Madison
called i'll his head-mah to make the u.s.
ual inquiry:
"Nelson, how comes on the crop p
"Po'ly, Mars monsus poly"
"Why, what's the matter p
Things is seyus?"
What do you mean by serious ?"
eve gwine los dat crap"
close the crop! Why should We
lose il? ?"
Cause dat ar crap ar heap too big
crap to be gethered 'thout whisky.
'Lasses-and-water nuver gethered no
crap since de worl war made, ner
faint gwine to- .rft
Mr.. Madison succumbed; the whisky
was procured, the " crap" was "geth-
cred, case-bottles and decanters reap=
peared, and the ancient order was re-
stored at Montpelier, never again to be
disturbed.

How TO PLEASE IN CoMPANY.-The true
art of being agreeable is to appear we'll
pleased with all the company, and rath-
er to seem well entertained with them
than to bring entertainment to them.
A man thus disposed, perhaps, may not
have much learning, nor any wit; but il
he has common sense, and Something
friendly in his behavior, it conciliates
mems minds more than the brightest
parts without this disposition; and, when
man of such turn comes to old age,
heis almost sure to be treated with re-
spect. 1t is true, indeed, that we should
not dissemble and flatter in company;
but man may be very agreeable, in
strict consistency with truth and sinceri-
ty, by a prudent silence, where he can
not concur, and by pleasing assent,
where he can. Now and then, you
meet with person so exactly formed to
please that he will gain upon every one
that hears or beholds him. This dispo-
sition is not merely the gift of nature,
but frequently the effect of much knowl-
edge of the world, and command over
the passions.
