HEALTH AND TALENT. - 1t is no
exaggeration to say that health is a
large ingredient in what the world
calls talent. A man without it may
be a giant in intellect, but his deeds
will be the deeds of a dwarf. On
the contary, let him have a quick
circulation, a good digestion, the
bulk, thews and sinews of a man,
and the alacrity. the unthinking
confidence inspired by these, and,
though having but thimblefull OF
brains, be will either blunder upon
success or set failure at defiance.
1t is true, especially in this country,
that the number of centaurs in ev-
cry community-of men in whom
heroic intellects are allied with
bodily constitutions as tough as
those of horses-is small; that a
man has reason to think himself
we'll off in the lottery of life, if he
draw the prize of healthy stom-
ach without a mind, or the prize of
a fine intellect with a crazy stomach.
But of the two, 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. The first re-
quisite to success in life, is to be a
good animal. In any of the learned
professions, a vigorous constitution
is equal to at least fifty per cent.
more brain. Wit, judgment, imagg-
ination, eloquence, all the qualities
of the mind, attain thereby a force
and splendor to which they could
never. approach without it. But
intellect in a weak body is "like
gold in a spent swimmers pocket. :"
A mechanic may have tools OF the
sharpest edge and of the highest
polish; but What are these without
a vigorous arm and hand? Of what
use IS it that your mind has become
a vast granary of knowledge, If
you have not strength to turn the
key?

Sympathy is one of the most i'm
posing and sacred emotions OF an
intelligent mind, and is equally
consonant with the genius of re-
fined humanity and the spirit OF
true religion. 1t is inseparable
from truly elevated though un-
sancti6ed mind, for it is a COM
pound of the finest and noblest feel
ings of our nature-of feelings that
are characterized by all that is
touching in tenderness and winning
in beneVolence. TO the soul it is
what the lucid beams Of the moon
are to the pleasing features of ma
ture, which are not essential to their
existence, but which add bril!iancy
to their beauty and sublimlty to
their grandeur.-LandCruye.

A woman in Hungary was tried
as receiver Of stolen goods. She
had been Jewess, but few days
before her arrest she had been bap-
tized as a Catholic. The date of
birth runs in Hungary from the
date of baptism. Therefore, the
woman, when on trial, made the in
genious plea that she was an infant
not come to the years of discretion,
and could not be legally convicted.
The intelligent tribunal, after Sc
rious cogitation, held her defence
to be q good one, and acquitted
her.
