WATCH THE PULsE.-Every intellectual
person should know how to ascertain the
state of the pulse in health; then, by COM
pairing it with what it is when he is ailing,
he may have some idea of the urgency of
the case. Parents should know the healthy
pulse of each child-as now and then per-
son is born with peculiarly slow or fast
pulse, and the very case in hand my be of
that popularity An infants pulse is a
hundred and forty; child of seventeen,
about eighty; and from twenty to sixty
years is seventy beats minute, declining
to sixty at four-score. A healthful grown
PERSONS pulse beats seventy times in a
minute. There may be good health down
to sixty; but if the pulse always exceeds
seventy there is a disease-the machine is
working itself out; there is fever or in
fammation somewhere, and the body is
feeding On itself-as in consumption, when
the pulse is quick, that is, oyer seventy,
gradually increasing with decreasing
chances Of cure, until it reaches hundred
and ten or hundred and twenty, when
death comes before many days. When the
pulse is over seventy for months, and there
is slight cough, the lungs are Affected

A Word TO BoYs.-Who is respected {?
1t is the boy who conducts himself well :;
who is honest, diligent, and obedient in
all things. It is the boy who is making an
effort continually to respect his father, and
to obey him in whatever he may direct to
be done. 1t is the boy who is kind to 9TH
er little boys, who respects age, and who
never gets into difficulties and quarrels
with'his companions. 1t is the boy who
leaves no effort untried to improve himself
in knowledge and wisdom eAery day; who
is busy and active in endeavoring to do
good acts towards others. Show me bow
obeys his parents, who is diligent, who has
respect for age, who always has friendly
disposition, and who applies himself dill
GRITTY to get wisdom, and to do good to-
wards Others; and if he is not respected
and beloved by every one, then there is no
such things as truth in the world. Remem.
Der this, little boys, and you will be re-
spected by other, and you will grow no and
become useful men. Jug 1854

LIES BRIGHTEST HoUR.-Not long
since met gentleman who is assesse
for more than a million. Silvered was his
hair, care was upon his brow, and he stoop-
ed beneath the burden of his wealth. We
were speaking of that period Of life when
we had realized the most perfect enjoyment,
or rather, when we had found happiness
nearest to being unalloyed. "Ill tell you,"
said the millionaire, "when was the hap
pest hour of my life. At the age of one
and-twenty [ had saved eight hundred
dollars l was earning five hundred dol
lars, and my father did not take it from
me. only requiring that l should pay for
my board. At the age of twenty one I had
secured pretty cottage, just outside of
the city. [ was able to pay two-thirds OF
the value down, and also to furnish it re-
specially. 1 was married on Sunday in
June; at my fathers house. NY wife had
come to me poor in purse, but rich in
wealth of her womanhood. The Sabb ltii
and the Sabbath night we passed benea tn
my fathers roof, and on Monday morning
l went to work, leaving my mother and
sister to help in preparing my home. ON
Monday evening, when the labor of the day
was done, went not to my paternal shell

DEBT.-The Cuthbert, (Ga.) "Appeal'
gives it's readers brief and pointed SER
mon on the contraction of debts:
''Half the perplexity, annoyance and
trouble that men have in this world is in
consequence of getting into debt 1t seems
to be natural for some people to buy, and
incur obligations without measure, so long
as they can avoid paying away ready cash.
Give one of this sort a chance to buy on
credit, and the question of payments are
matters that he cares but little about. But
what a crop of trouble springs up from the
seed of debt. How many gray hairs it
brings, and how often it shortens life I;
sometimes leading men to commit suicide
or murder. And yet how easy to keep
clear of this terrible monster. Every liv-
man should, from a fixed and unalterabie
determination, before commencing his ac-
tive business career, not to incur one PEN
ny of Indebtedness under any circumstan-
ces. Never buy anything unless you have
money to pay for it at once. Pay no at
tention to the 'srare chances" s'splendid
opportunities, "bargains, and the like
Such are only traps to catch victims. If
you see anything that you would like to
accept, look first at your money pile, and
make the answer depend on that. Always
pay as you go. If You are short Of money,
guage your demands accordingly.''

Poetry
THE OLD MIRROR.

Il =
THE OLD MIRROR.
Oft see at twilight,
In the hollow gloom
OF the dim old mirror,
Phantasmal faces loom:
Noble antique faces
Sad as with the weight
OF some ancient sorrow,
Some ancestral fate:
Little roselipped faces,
Locks of golden shine,
Laughing eyes OF childhood
Looking into mine:
Sweet auroral faces,
Like the mornings bloom;
All, how long and long ago,
Shrouded for the tomb!
In a bridal chamber
Once the mirror hung,
Draperies of Indian looms
Over it were flung.
From its golden sconces,
Fretted now with mold,
Waxen tapers glimmered
On cascane of gold.
Perfumes of the summer night
We're through the lattice blown,
Scents of briar-roSes
And meadows newly mown.
The mirror, then, looked eastward
And caught the mornings bloom,
And flooded with its rosy gold
The dream light of the room.
Tonight It's looking
Toward the sunset wall;
The wintry day is waning;
The dead leaves drift and fall.
All about the hearth-stone
The whitening ashes blow,
The wind is wailing an old song
Heard long and long ago.
Like the dead leaves drifting
Through the wintry air,
Like white ashes Sitting
Ger the .hearth-stone bare.
Sad ancestral faces,
Wan as moon-lit snow,
Haunt the dim old mirror
That knew them long ago,
SARAH HELEN WHITMAN.

THE Boys RooM.-W We wish especially to
urge upon mothers the propriety of giving
up to the boys, as soon as they reach the
age Of twelve or fourteen, one room mot a
bed-chamber) for whose reasonably good
order they shall be responsible, and which
they shall consider wholly their own. The
floor shall be uncarpeted, of oiled wood !;
the furniture of the same material. Let
it be papered, curtained, decorated accord
ing to the boys own fancy if the taste is
bad, they will be interested after a while
in correcting it. There should be plain
bookcases, big solid table in the center,
by all means an open fire, and room after
that for Joe's printing press, Of Charley's
box of tools, or Sans cabinet of minerals;
for chess and checker boards, or any other
game which is deemed proper To this
room the boys should be allowed to invite
their friends, and learn how to be hospita-
BILE hosts even to the extent of an innocent
little feast now and then. Father, mother,
and sisters should refrain from entering it
except as guests and our word for it, they
will be doubly honored and welcomed when
they do come.-Scribner.

y The NAME OF GoD.-The following
list, comprising the name of God in forty
eight languages, was compiled by the we'll
known French philologist, Louis Burger,
in the following manner:
One day, as he was walking along the
streets of Paris, he heard voice beseech-
ing him to buy some nuts. Upon looking
back he discovered that it was the voice
of his old barber, who was gaining a scanty
living by selling nuts on the street. To
aid him, he hastily made out and gave the
barber the following list:
Hebrew, Elohim, OlalD tongue, Deu.
Eloah. German and S,uiss,
Chaldaic, Elah. Colt.
Assyria,e, Eleah. Flemish, Coed.
