Speaking of Job, I remark that he

HOME READINo.-oue Of the most
pleasant and noblest duties of the head
of the family is to furnish its members
with good reading. Let good reading
go into a home, and the very atmos-
phere of that home gradually but sure
~ changes. The boys begin to grow
ambitious, to talk about men, places,
books, the past and the future. The
girls begin to feel a new life opening
before them in knowledge, duty and
love. They see new fields of useful
ness and pleasure and so the family
changes, and ont of its number will
grow intelligent men and women to fill
honorable places, and be useful mem
bers of society. Let the torch of in
telligence be lit in every household.
Let the old and young vie with each
other in introducing new and useful
topics of investigation, and in cherish
ing a love of reading, study and i'm
provement.
PUDDING AND PIES NOT UNHEALTHY.
There is probably a great deal of
truth in the following extract, which we
make from Dr.. Halls journal Of
Heath: The universal error as to the
unhealthfulness Of pies, puddings, and
pastries, taking it for granted that they
are well made and properly cooked,
has arisen from the simple fact that af-
ter we have made full meal of other
things, the stomach is oppressed by
them, and if the process is repeated,
becomes eventually dyspeptic that is,
had not the power to work up the food,
