4 BY.WAY TO HEALTH.

t'Nobody ever repented or eating TOO

gentleman on the verge OF ninety, next
TO whom we had the pleasure of sitting
at dinner the other night. The host was
pressing him to lake more, and urging
HIM in the usual phrase, "Why, you have
eaten scarcely anything" Now it is to
be assumed that the old gentlemau's
words indicated one OF the by-ways to
good health along which he had travelled
through his long lite, and to which be
owed his present hearty condition; so it
was suggested to him interrogatiyely
that he had always been a small feeder.

Collegiate Education.

No ONE can question the fact, so fire.
quently and so fully chronicled in the
papers of the day, that our colleges are
performing eminent service in the cause
of education, and that they are rapidly
developing the powers of the American
youth who resort to their sacred shades
for study. Some persons, it is true, en-
terrain the idea that too much attention
is paid to the development of muscle and
too little to the enlargement of the brain.
But it is an error to suppose that in our
principal colleges and universities the
whole time is devoted to acquiring the
science of boating and the high art of
handling the oar, or that the whole year
is spent by all the students in preparing
for the annual regatta, which brings such
a harvest into the pockets of gamblers,
for whose special benefit it seems to have
been arranged. There are other, if not
higher, ends that are kept constantly in
view, which exert a stimulating influence
upon noble minds. Baseball occupies a
prominent position, and the several col
leges meet frequently in friendly contest
in order to keep up the stimulus. Then
the standing jump, the running jump
and the high jump are sedulously cult.

A Case OF Conscience.

SOME years ago in a Maine village a
young lawyer hung out his shingle. For
convenience we may call his name
Weber. He was of social turn, and
his Office speedily became sort of head
quarters for the good fellows of the
neighborhood. About two miles up the
river lived an old farmer who was COM
monty known as "Old Alfred" or
Uncle Alfred" He was a character,
with a well-developed taste for ardent
spirits and chronic indisposition to pay
his bills. The young lawyer was popu-
lar, and the storekeepers of the village
sent him the bills which they could not
collect. Thus it happened that many
little accounts against Old Alfred came
into young Webber's hands for collec-
ton. The old man would never pay
until he was sued, and then would make
vociferous complaints. He accused the
young lawyer of grinding the face of the
poor, and rallied vigorously against h 2
compelled to pay. His visits g
special occasions of delight to the )
who frequented the office, as live
cussion always ensued over payment Of
Dlll anu COsIS. OuC Jay NcpUcI udu
three bills against the old man, one of
which he had sued, about one he had
written letter, and the third had just
come in. Uncle Alfred came to see
about the one which had been sued, and,
after prolonged and animated debate,
paid it, Then Weber suggested to him
the propriety of paying the one about
which the letter had been sent, and thus
saving the expense of writ. The old
man demurred for while, but finally
settled that, and then remarking in a
conclusive tone, 81 hope I've got through
with you now" prepared to go. "Well,
no." said Webber, I've got another
little bill here which perhaps you'd like
to look at before you 60" This was too
much for the old man, and he broke into
torrent of objurgations. After he had
become little calm, Weber remarked
in his blandest tone: Uncle Alfred, |
will make you proposition: If you will
for the next two hours go around the
streets here, mingle in the groups of the
people on the streets and in the stores,
and lead the conversation to such point
that you can remark to them that young
Weber is a very clever fellow, l will
discount to you $3.50 on this bill" Old
Alfred almost lost his breath at this
modest proposal, He wanted the $3.50
bad, but when he realized what he was
