VITAL FORCE,

Let us consider a few of the many
life is made OF. 1t has been we'll said
that ''the habit of looking on the bright
side of things is worth more than
thousand pounds year," and certain
ly it is habit that must add many
years to the lives Of those who acquire
it. Really every fit of dependency
and every rage take go much cut of us
that any one who INDUCES in either
without a great struggle to prevent
himself doing so, should be character
lied as little less than to use all
American eXpression-'a fearful fool
How silly it seems even to ourselves,
after cooling, to have acquired a ncrv-
Gus headache, and to have become
generally done up, stamping round the
room, and showing other signs of
foolish anger, because the dinner was
five minutes late, or because some
ones respect to us did not rise quite
10 the high standard measured by our
ego,ism! AS if it were far more i'm
portant that we should save our vital
energy, ana not get into rage, than
that the dinner should be served eX.
actly to the moment. One day q friend
of Lord PalmerstOn asked him when
he considered a man to be in the prime
OF life; his Immediate reply was 'Sey-
enty y-nine. But he added with Il play
lul smile.' as have just entered my
eigh,ieth year, perhaps L am myself a
little past it! How is it that such
men work on vigorously to the end ?
Because they treasure their ever-di-
minishing vital force. They studiediy
refrain from making q pull on the
constitution. Reaching the borders
of seventy wears of age, they, as good
as say to themselves: We must now
take care what we are about OF
course, they make sacrifices, avoid a
number of treacherous gaieties. and
living simply, they perhaps give some
cause of offense, for the world does
not approve of singularity. But let
those laugh who win. They hold the
censorious observations of critics i'll
/ derision, and maintain the even tenor
of their way. In other words they
conserve their vital force, and try tC
keep above ground as long as possible
clustering natures, forgetful of the
great truth that power itself hath no
one-half the might of gentleness,' mis-

SHE HAD HIM

A lady, riding i'll car on the New
York Central Railroad, was disturbed
in her reading by the conversation OF
two gentlemen occupying the seat be-
fore her. One of them Ca studenD
used much prOfane language, greatly
to the annoyance of the lady. She
thought she would rebuke him, and
asked him if he had studied the Ian
guages. Yes, madam, 1 have master-
ed the languages quite WE'LL DO you
read aud speak Hebrew Quite def
initely.' will you be SO kind as to
do me iayor?' with great pleasure.
| am at your service Will you be
kind as to do your swearing in He

HOW TO PREACH.

Make no apologies. If you have
the Lords message declare it; if not.
hold yonr peace. Have short prefaces
aud intyoductions. Say your best
things first, and stop before you get
prosy. Do not spoil the appetite for
dinner by too much thin soup. Leave
self out of the pulpit and take Jesus
in. Defend the Gospel, and let the
Lord defend you and your character.
If you are lied about, thank the devil
for putting you on your guard, and
take care that the story shall never
come true. Let yOnr beard grow
Throw away your cravat. If you do
not want to break make your shirt
collar an inch larger, and give your
blood chance to flow back to the
heart. Do not get excited too soon.
Do not run away from your hearers.
Engine driving wheels fly fast with
no load, but when they draw anything
they go slower. 1t takes a cold ham
mer to bend hot iron. Heat up the
people, but keep the hammer cool. Do
not bawltand scream. Too much wa
ter stops mill wheels, and too much
noise browns sense. Empty vessels
ring the loudest. Powder isn't shot
Thunder isn't lightning. Lightning
kills. If you have lightning you can
afford to thunder, but do not thunder
ont of on aO,ntv clOud
Do not scold the people. Do not
abuse the faithful souls who come to
meeting rainy days, because of the
others that do not come. Preach the
best to the smallest assemblies. Jesus
preached to one woman at the well.
and she got all Samaria out to hear
him next time. Ventilate your meet
ing room. Slceplug in church is due
to bad air oftener than to bad man.
ners. Do not repeat sentences, say
ing, sas 1 said before If you said il
before say something else after. Leave
out words you cannot define. Stop
your defamation aud talk TO folks.
Come down from your stiltea ways
and sacred tones, aud become as a lit
tie child Change the subject if it
goes hard. DO not tire yourself and
everyone else out. Do not preach till
i the middle OF your ernOn buries the
beginning, and is buried by the end
Beware OF long prayers, except in she
closet. Where weariness begins, de-
votion ends. Look people in the face
and live so that you are not afraid OF
them.
Take long breaths. Fill your lungs
and keep them full. Stop to breathe
before the air is exhausted. Then you
will not finish off each sentence with a
terrible gasp-ah, as if you were dying
Tor air-ah, as some good people do-ah,
and SO strain their lungs ah, and never
find it out-ah because their friends do
not dare to tell them-ah, aud SO leave
them to make sport for the Philistines-

1t is easier to run a saw-mill with a
full pond than with an empty one.
Be moderate at first. Hoist the gate

Aim st a mark. Hit it! Stop and
look where the shot struck then fire

(Which is the largest gland?' asked
a medical professor of the newest ar
rival in his class, the other day. The
student buried himself in deep and
attentive thought for a moment, and
then Frightening up, suddenly ex-
claimed: The largest gland, sir, is
Englandv Then the professor kindly
led the youth aside, and pathetically
advised him to think no more of med
icine, but to join a minstrel show or
enter the army.

THERE is precocious six-year-old

Uncle Sans Suit.

The Supreme Court has decided
against the centennial board Of finance
in the case which arose out of the dis
tribution fthe profits Of the Philadel-
phia exhibition. The question Oh
which the decision turned was wheth-
er the board was obliged to repay to
the United States Treasury the sum
Of 81, 100000 loaned by Congress be-
fore distributing the assets among the
stockholders in satisfaction Of the cap
ital held by them. The United States
Circuit court of Pennsylvania decided
that the claims of the stockholders
had preference over the government,
but tie Supreme Court holds other
wise, and reverses the decision Of the
lower court. There can be no doubt
but that the decision is a Just one
The money was appropriated under
the express condition that it was to
be paid back before any distribution
Of profits to stockholders, although
creditors other than the government
were given a prior right. 1t is to be
regretted that the exhibition was not
more profitable to the stockholders
but the terms under which the gov
crnment appropriation was received
should be cheerfully respected.
