Restraint.

You will find on fairly thinking of it,
that it is his restraint which is honora-
BILE to man, not his liberty and, what
is more, it is restraint which is honora-
BILE even in lower animals. A butterfly
is much more free than bee but You
honor the bee more, Just because it is
subject to certain laws which fit 1t for
orderly function in bee society. And
throughout the world, of the two abb
stract things, liberty and restraint, re-
straint is always the more honorable.
1t is true, indeed, that in those and
all matters you can never reason finally
from the abstraction, for both liberty
and restraint are good when they are
nobly chosen, and both are bad when
they are badly chosen but of the two,
1 repeat, it is restraint which charac-
terises the higher creatures and, from
the ministering of the arch-angel to the
labor of the insect-from the poison of
the planets to the gravitation of grain
of dust-the power and glory Of all
creatures, and all matter, consist in
their obedience, not in their freedom.
The sun las no hberty-a dead leaf has
much. The dust of which you are
formed has no liberty. Its liberty will
come-with its corruption.

Edible Fungi.

The Gardeners Magazine says ::
"There are hundreds of edible vegeta-
bles that the world disdains to eat,
such as hop-tops, nettles, hedge mus
tard, chickweed, and so forth; and If
it be to please the eccentric or save one
from starvation, any or all of them may
be welcome. But the verdict of the
world upon such things is sound. 1t is
actually cheaper to grow a cabbage than
hunt in the hedgerows for table vegeta-
bles; so it is with the fungi. Anybody
can enjoy the real Agdricus cdmpestris,
and its near ally the coarse but we'll

drUensis. the champignon, Mardsniius
oreades, a pretty fiat-headed, brownish,
dry-textured fungus, is perhaps better
thing than the mushroom, thoughtless
well-known, and because less heshy and
nutritive, less to be desired. The
trufie, Ta6er cibariin1, and the morel,
MOrchelld esculentd, are epicures' deli
cacies that are not made much of on
the tables of people who do not under
stand the high art of artistic dining,
and who, consequently, rarely enter
into the epicure's enjoyment OF the
flavor of these dainty things. When
We go beyond these five kinds we are in
q region of doubt and difficulty. What,
SAYS some one who has recovered from
sickness caused by tasting Agaaieus
euosn1us, which emits a very spicy
odor, "will you ignore the puff and
the great liver fungus ?" Ah, to be
sure, when quite young, the puff ball
is q good fungus but . Scotch phi

Ed ucate d. Learned.

The English language Is made up OF
such varied combination, and is used
so figuratively and allegorically, that
one can hardly give utterance To an
unstudied phrase but what ingenuity
and quick perception can construe into
diversity of meanings; and so many
words have nearly the same meanings
that they are often misused and mis-
applied; more probably from careless
custom than from ignorance.
The words intelligent, educated. and
learned, are often used as though they
had the same meaning, although they
convey entirely distinct ideas.
Intelligence is an innate faculty oi
the human soul, that enables one to
think and receive ideas with degree
of comprehension and understanding
Education is the cultivation and re-
finement of the powers of understand
ing, and includes both moral and intel
lectual training. This term is usually
applied to the early developments oi
the mind, when it is made capable Oi
receiving learning. There are two
kinds of education one we have given
us at school, which only prepares us foI
the more substantial one we get our
selves from the world. Human nature
can never be learned from books; 1t Is
a knowledge others may acquire, but
never impart; it constitutes an impOr-
tant part of our education, and can
only be gained by mingling with OuI
fellow men. There is great difference
in people, and this difference Is greatly
| the result of our education.
Learning is knowledge gained by
research and study. 1t is eruditiOn
which a well-educated man may not
possess. knowledge is information
gained by study, experience and obser-
walton. Wisdom is an endowment
and is higher than knowledge will
judgment and discretion.
Intelligence, education and learning
are three great steps to the highest
development of the human mind
neither of which can be attained with
out the aid of the other. God place;
us on the first step; we make sure oi
our footing, and reach the others by
our own efforts.
The second requisite to this end /:
application. He who would acquire
mental as well as human knowledge
must never admit defeat, or pause ovel
| a difficulty, but work steadily on to the
end, that he may conquer every obstacle
which comes in his way. I'm the lexI'
