What Good Cooking Does.

We have always held that the King wh1
knighted SOyer, the French cook. did a wise
act, as good cook is equal in his limited
sphere to a good king in his more extensive
round of duties. and because We believe
that good digestion depends upon good
cooking. and good temper upon a good
condition Of the stomach and dSmes ic peace
upon the good stomach. But wholly apart
from this is the art of making ones food
palatable. The French caterers are pro
verbal for their excellent cooking. but here

Happy Every Day.

Sidney Smith cut the following from
a newspaper, and preserved 1t for him
self: when you rise in the morning
form the resolution to make the day a
happy one to fellow-creature. It l.
easily done; left-off garment to the
man that needs it; kind word to the
sorrowful an encouraging expression
TO the striying-trifies in themselves as
light as air-will do at least for the
twenty-four hours. And if you are
young, depend upon it, it will tell when
you are old ; and if you are old, rest as
sured it will send You gently and hap
ply down the stream of time to eter-
nifty. By the most simple arithmetiea
sum, look at the result. Ii you send
one person only happily through the
day, that is three hundred and sixty
five in the course OF year. And sup
pose you live forty years only after you
commence that course of medicine, you
have made IA. 500 beings happy AZ all
events for time"

An Incident with a Moral.

f y gentleman OF Baltimore, recently
entered the baggage car of an outward
train, and desiring to read some manu-
scripts, chose this car because it was
airy and retired. \ yOungster about
I fifteen years of age was occupying. with
great abandon, chair. The gentle
man, wishing to sit near the open door
of the car, to obtain both light and air,
thus accosted the youngster.
''Bub. will you exchange that chair
''No, sir this chair is engaged"
The gentleman was very poiIte. as he
recognized the young mans right to the
chair by actual possession. 1t appears
that he was temporarily in charge Of
some express matter. his father being
the expressman on the route but the
moral of the incident we shall give IN
relating another incident, which Oc-
CURED in this city very many years ago.
There was a vely plainly dressed
elderly lady who was a frequent Gus
toner at the then leading dry goods
store IN Boston. No one IN the store
knew her even by name. All the clerks
but one avoided her, and gave their
dressed and more pretentiOus. The
exception was this young man who had
q conscientious regard for duty and
system. He never left another Gus
tumor 10 wait on the lady, but when at
liberty he waited upon her with as much
attention as though she had been a
princess. This continued for a year or
two until the young man became Of
age. One morning the lady approached
the young man, when the following
conversation took place
Lady Dung man, do you not wish
to go into business for yourself p
''Yes, ma'am, he responded "but /
have neither money, credit nor frien Is,
nor will any one trust me.
"Well, continued the lady, you go
and select good situation, ask what
the rent is, and report to me-" handing
the young man her address. The young
man went, found capital location, a
good store, but the landlord required
security, which he could not give.
Mindful of the lady's request. be forth
with went TO her and reported.
''Well," she replied, ''you go and tell
Mr.. - that I will be responsible"
lie went, and the landlord, or agent.
was surprised, but the bargain was
closed. The next day the lady called
to ascertain the result. The young man
told her, but added, ''Whst am | to do
for goods no one will trust me 2"
You may go and see Mr.. -. and
Mr.. -, and Mr.. -, and tell them
to call on me-"
He did, and his store was soon stocked
with the best goods in the market.
There are many in this city who remem-
Der the circumstance and the man. He
died many years since and left a for
tune Of three hundred Thousand dol
lars. So much for politeness, So much
for ciyilty aud so much for treating
ones elders with the Difference due to
age in whatever garb they are clothed.
Now this gentleman in the baggage car
might have been director of the road
or a very influential man otherwise,
and as he is very observing man and
good judge OF character, a different
answer from the youngster might have
interested him in his behalf and lead TO
some future advantage.

MISCELLANY.
Points in Ply steal Life.
Ncribner's

From twenty five to thirty-five is the
true time for all the epioyments of a
mans best powers, when physical vigor
Is ever at its highest. During the last
half of this decade a man should be
assiduous to construct a system of
philosophy by which to rule his life,
and to construct chain of habits in
telligently; SO that they should not sit
too tightly upon him, and yet eau
tiously, so that he should neither be
their slave nor too easily cast them
aside. The exact proportion of pbysi-
cal and intellectual strength should be
guaged, and the constitutional weak
ness, or, IN other words, the disease
toward which tendency exists, should
De ascertained. Preserve, if possible,
the absolute necessity for exercise. and
have your place of business two or three
miles away, over which let nothing
tempt you to an omnibus or carriage
save rain. The day on which medical
man gives up riding to see his country
patients, or the use of his own legs to
see his patients in town, and takes to a
close brougham, fixes the date when
sedentary diseases are set up-whlle If,
to utilize his leisure, he reads as he
drives, his eyesight becomes seriously
affected. From thirty-five to forty-f
a man should arrange with his food and
avoid hypochondria- He cannot, it is
true, change his diathesis, but he can
manage it. The hsbitual character of
food, no less than its quantity, begins
to tell whether it changes the system
with fat, muscle, sinew, fibre, or watery
particles. From forty-five to tifty-fve
the recuperative powers should be en-
couraged and developed.
There is nothing like work to keep
an old horse sound. Sporting dogs
should be thin, but obesity will set in.
Anxiety ought to be STAYED off, hope
encouraged, sordid cares avoided. If
a grief exists it should not be brooded
over. but talked out with friend,
gauged, estimated at its worst, and
dismissed to absorb itself. Ii man
at this time is much occupied out doors,
and lives wholesomely and temperately,
he is pretty sure to be clear of seden-
tary disease. rheumatism, coughs,
and inflammstory diseases, arising from
exposure to wet or cold, man of forty
five will have to contend with, but his
blood will be in q condition for the
struggle. Moderate exposure to hard
ships of this kind never harmed man yet.
