The Value Of NOurishing Food.


1t was owing, in great degree, to the
wretched condition of their commissariat
that the Austrians were defeated at Aus.er-

us ear and drink, for tomorrow we may de-,
is a motto which has often been denounced,
aud Clost Justly, by Christian moralists. 'sLel
us eat and drink wei, lest tomorrow we die,"
would be good substitute, The pleasures
of the table are not the highest form of hu-
man enjoyment, it Ia true but for all that, an
oyster-pie is a good thing when well made.
"A man." says DIR. johnson, "whO has no
regard for his stomach, will have no regardfor
anything e.se." We fully agree with the
great moralist, and we subscribe no less
heartily to the saying of the French gour-
mand, wLo declared that the discovery of q
new dish is more important than the discov-
cry of a new star, because there never can be
dishes enough but there are stars enough al
ready. 1t is mistake to suppose that only
brainless men. with full paunches and empty
pates, have keen relish for the luxuries Of
the table-that, as Shakespeare says,

Make rich the ribs, but bankrupt quite the wits.

Too PooR 70 TAKE PAPER.-Moore, of the
Rural Ne,o Yorker, was sitting in his Office one
afternoon some years ago, when farmer friend
came in and said: "Mr. Moore, like your pa
per, but times are so hard cannot ay for 1T.
"Ls that so friend Jones? Tm very sorry to
hear that you are SO poor; if you are so hard
run will give you my paper"
80, no, I can't take it as gift"
"Well, then, let's see how we can fix it. You
raise chickens, believer"
eyes, few, but they don't bring anything,
hardly"
"Don't they2 Neither does my paper cost
anything, hardly. Now, I nave proposition
to make to you. I will continue your paper,
and when you 60 home you may select from
your lot one chicken and call her mine. Take
good care of her and bring me the proceeds,
whether in eggs or chickens, and we will call
it square"
GAIL right, brother Moore" and the fellow
chuckled at what he thought capital bargain.
He kept the contract strictly, and at the end
of the year found that he had paid about four
prices for his paper. He often tells the joke
himself, and he never had the face to say he
was too poor to take paper since that day
