When anything is forbidden to be
done, whatever tends or leads to it, a 8

1t is not enough that We swallow
truth; We must feed upon it, as insects
do on the leaf, till the whole heart be
colored by its qualities, and shows its
food in every fibre.

They are invaluable, madam, to our

A strong mind is sometimes more
easily impressed than weak one. For
example, you cannot so easily convince
a fool that you are philosopher as con-
vince philosopher that you are a fool.
/ The son of Emir had red hair, of
which he was ashamed, and wished to
dye it. But his father said, "Nay, my

In many respects. Neither are good

Deaths take place, the world over, 81
the rate of one every three seconds, and
births at the rate OF one every two seo-
onds. There is q sense Of profound
relief in the thought that every time Q
man goes out Of the world, baby and
half are coming into it.
Cicero, who was born LOG years be-
fore Christ, wrote: 81 consider this
world as a place which nature never
intended for my permanent abode; and
L look on my departure from it not as
being driven from my habitation, but
simply as leaving an inn."
A pet-canary having escaped into the
yard was caught by a favorite cat, but
instead of devouring poor Dickey, puss
gently brought the bird indoors and
placed 1t in the hands of her mistress,
who was both astonished and delighted
to find scarcely feather injured.
A papyrus manuscript, found in an
Egyptian tomb, has lately been trans
lated by a scholar of Heidelberg, who
pronounces it to be the address of Ram
ses iii. to all the nations of the earth,
detailing minutely all the causes which
led to the exodus of the Jews from the
land of Pharaohs.
The mechanical arts appear to be
rising into new relations with poetry
and letters in England. One Of the
most beautiful works of recent Eng
llsh design is a massive vase in gold
and silver in honor of Alfred Tennyson,
adorned with illustrations from his
principal poems. 1t is said to have
been made by Emanuel of London.
The Burmese Ambassadors are called
in Paris those unpleasant looking bun
dies of faded silk and foul linen. They
make night hideous at open air con-
certs and theatres, and make day still
more so in the Bois, al races, reviews
everywhere. They should be women,
and yet their boards forbid one to in
terpret that they are such. They are
the most ill-favored and apparently &C.
centric exotics that ever came from the
tropics.
An instance of rare honesty, and
showing how dog may desire to pay
his board bill, is said to have recently
occurred in Fitchburg. A lady saw q
dog frequently about her house picking
up odd bits which had been thrown
out, and one day she called him in
and fed him. The next day he came
back, and as she opened the door, he
walked in and placed an egg on the
floor, when he was again fed. The fol-
lowing day he brought another egg to
pay for his dinner, and on the fourth
day he brought the old hen herself,
who, it seems, had failed to furnish the
required egg.
The miserable selfshness Of some
fellows is enough to make q man
ashamed Of his sort. So much as they
do expect when they are selecting q
wife Fool down in Florida, for in
stance He advertises for a wife, and
he let's the public know that she must
be none of your common doin's." I'm
prints, she must have a COW. Also .
good feather bed with comfortable
linens. Likewise $500 in good, genu-
inc greenbacks. She must comprehend
the whole art and mystery of tending
children. Smallpox she must have
had, and also measles. Sincerely We
hope that this Florida donkey will be
swindled.
The late Edward Everett condensed
into single brief paragraph his esti-
nation of what constituted good edu-
cation. Here it is: "To read the Eng
lish language well, to write with dis
patch a neat, legible hand and be mas
ter of the first four rules of arithmetic,
so as to dispose Of at once, with sccu-
racy, every question of figures which
comes up in practice-I call this good
education. And if you add the ability
to write pure grammatical English. !
regard it as an excellent education.
These are the tools. You can do much
with them, but you are hopeless with
out them. They are the foundation,
and unles you begin with these, all
your hashy attainments.a a little geology.
and all other ologies and osophies, are
ostentatious rubbish"
What would a great portion Of the
nations of the earth do without partic-
ular plants and fruits? Take away the
potato from the Irish cabin, and star
vation comes. Famine already has its
hold on Bengal on account of the rice
crop. The bread fruit is to the West
Indian both food and clothing. Heaven
sends it and causes it to grow, and the
lazy natives ask nothing further. And
yet all these yield to the despised
