Success In Life.

The worlds greatest workers are not
always rewarded according to their
merits; and experience confirms the
truth of the saying, that ''the race is not
to the swift, or the battle to the strong"
We see the fool rolling in riches, while "a
wise man wears out n wretched exis-
tence in a single-handed fight with ad
versity. We see quackery parading in
purple and fine linen, and honesty
struggling manfully for bread. The
carpet knight takes precedence of the
tOil-worn soldier, and the tumbling
mountebank attracts greater crowds
than the eloquent devine. Adventu-
rers who can tickle the fancy and hit
the public taste are rewarded with fame
and fortune, while genius is made to
feel the pangs of disappointment, in
gratitude, and neglect. of course,
wherever property is secure, it will sc-
eumulate, and as long as men are differ
emily constituted, there will be riches
and poverty. Children will be born to
inherit wealth, while others will come
into the world amid destitution; and
this arrangement is in accordance with
human nature, and teaches that the re-
wards Of merit are almost as eccentric
as the accidents of birth. There are men
who seem to make money out of every
thing they take in hand, while others
remain poor in spite of industry and at
tention. The author of the ''Hunch-
back" lived a poor actor, and died a
peEsioner on Government, while the
producer of trashy sensational drama
nets his thousands in a season.

HOrseshOes I'm Ancient Times.

The date at which horses were first
shod with metal has never been salts
factorilv determined. Many have con-
tended that passages in Homer prove
that the art of shoeing horses was in
practical use in his day, but others de-
clare that the phrases supposed to indi-
cate this are metaphorical. George
Fleming, an English veterinary sur
geon, has issued volume in which all
the evidence on the subject, from Xen-
ophon down, are carefully collected
and collated, so as clearly to exhibit
both sides of the question. He makes
it clear that the daring experiment of
driving nail into the foot of horse
was not ventured upon in classic times.
There is no doubt, however, that differ
ent coverings were in use from remote
period, both in Greece and Italy. to pro-
tect the hoof when sore from travel, or
when passing over rough roads, but
there is much negative evidence
that these were never generally adop-
ted, and that they were awkward and
clumsy in construction, and were only
used from sheer necessity upon hard
and stony ground, or i'm cases Of foot
soreness.

NOrMegIan Weddings.

Norwegian weddings are as rule
attended with great deal of pomp and
ceremony. Among Ithe rural popula-
ton wedding frequently lasts from
three to six days; if the bride is rich.
friends and kinsmen are summoned
from far and near, and amid firing of
guns, shouting, and music from violins,
the merry procession starts for the
church. The bride wears a silver
crown, usually an heirloom in her
family very elaborately wrought and
hung all around with small gilt disks;
her linen is clasped in the throat by a
manship. and her bosom adorned with
other ornaments of the same metal. In
the ford districs, the company usually
proceed to the church in boats; while
in the interior parishes, the bride and
the groom head the procession on horse
back. At the church door, the master
of ceremonies greets them with we'll
prepared speech, and as soon as they
return to the bridal house as man and
wife the merriment breaks out in real
earnest. Formerly brawls, and even
bloody fights. were of no rare occurrence
on such occasions; and it is even told
that in the last century, wives were
in the habit of bringing shrouds for
their husbands in their bandbOxes,
counting their chances of being killed
as, on the whole, predominating. Now,
however, the nineteenth century has
caused sad havoc among the primitive
customs and tastes of the Norsemen and
mans chances of being KILLED, are L
believe, smaller in Norway than any
where on the globe. Primeval man, if
he still exist, has become self-cOnscious
or in other words, is no longer prime
val.

The Jain Temples OF Gfrnsr.

The Jain Temples on Girnar are very
elaborate and beautiful. The older
one, sand older portions of others, are of
granite; but all the modern work has
been composed out of soft oolitic stone
which Is to be found on the base Of Cir
mar and abounds over Kathiawar. The
principal temples, seven in number, are
on the ledge that runs above the great
precipice of Girnar; but there are others
gathered about on the peak rising i'm
mediately above, and some of these lat
ter are in course of repair, and also Of
erection, the funds being supplied not
only by Jains, but by wealthy, pious
Hindus. In outward appearance the
temples are much in the usual style of
Hindu architecture. The most striking
characteristics of their interiors are
their fine tesselated marble pavements; ;
their painted domes; their exquisitely
shaped ami carved pillars, sometimes Of
granite and green syeniti; their antique
pOrticoes, and beautiful small sculpt-
ures, aud colossal statues. The central
dome Of the first temple, that to Nemi-
nath, is curiously painted and surrOun-
ded by female figures. 1t has beautiful
marble pillars. The pavement is com
posed of alternate slabs of brown and
white marble, and it contains a large
statue of Neminath, in black marble or
namented with gold and jewels. and
with a symbol of Nishnu inlaid In the
marble floor before it. There are two
or three apartments OIL the central
dome the doors are of carved stone,
and there are blocks of stone on marble
stands, with merely thousand small
footprints of disciples of the Tirthan
kara. Another temple has a colossal
statue covered with marble-libe cbUPou,
of Rishaba, the first Tirthankara, who
is also called Adinatha, and Adi-BGd

saint, though his proper color is blue,
so dark that he is sometimes mistaken
for Neminath. In another, the chief
statue is Abhinandanatha, with Adm
atha on one hand and Shambhavanatha
on the other. Great bells are hung iT-
some of the temples. The temples are
all beautifully clean; in themselves fit

all the more striking by their position

Currency IN Africa and China.

Africa, continent naturally desti-
tute, so far as is known, of silver, has
always been driven to strange expe-
dients for currency. In the Soudan,
where an elephants tusk represents so
many able-bodied slaves-where a GER
tain number of strips of cloth are equal
10 a calabash filled with beads or but
tons-and bean-pod brimming with
gold-dust does duty for bank-note,
small change is urgently required.
This wnat is partially supplied by those
little white shells called "cowries, ]"
which are found on the coast Of India,
and are often there used to adorn the
horse-trappings of princes. In Angola,
and other parts of Ceutral Africa, these
same cowries-two thousand five hun
dred of which, in India, are the equiv
alent of one rupee, and are the pocket
money of native children of the poorest
caste-rise to the value Of five thousand
to the pound sterling. Except in Egypt
and Morocco, no money is coined in Al
rica north of the Cape of Good Hope.
1t is wonderful that so highly-organized
and commercial community as that of
wealthy China. should have contented-
" remained so ill off in a monetary
point of view. The FlOwery Land, in
this anomaly, as in others, has probably
been enslaved by the tyranny of custom.
Those long strings Of perforated copper
coin, technically called ''cash," have
been, for centuries untold, the only re-
cognized money of the central king
dom; and even now, although the in
digenous taels and tungsteens are large
ly supplemented by Spanish and Mexi-
can dollars, Chinese merchant prefers
to make payments of silver, not by tael
or by weight, but by measure. China,
like India, no doubt contains large
proportion of the whole stock of the
precious metals; but its absorbent quail
tiles are so great, that what was an
ciently called the balance of trade is
nearly sure to be against the outer bar
barians.-AH the Year Round.

Hurry and Haste.

''Never do anything in hurry" Is
the advice given to attorneys and solic-
itors by Mr.. Warren. "No one in
hurry can possibly hare his tcits about
him; and remember that in the law
there is ever an opponent watching to
find you off your guard. You may oc-
casionally be in haste, but you need
never be in a hurry; take care-resOlve
never to be so. Remember that the
interests of others are occupying your
attention, and may suffer by your inad-
vertence, by that negligence which gen
orally occasions hurry. A man of first
rate business talents, one who always
looks so calm and tranquil that it makes
ones self cool to look at him on hot
summer day-once told me that he had
never been in hurry but once, and
that was for an entire fortnight, at the
commencement of his career. 1t nearly
killed him; he spoiled everything he
touched; he was always breathless and
harassed and miserable But it did him
good for life. He resolved never to be
in hurry gain, and never was, no not
once that he could remember, during all
his twenty-five years of practice. OBJ
serve, l speak of being hurried and flus-
tered, not of being in haste, for that is
often inevitable; but then is always
seen the superiority and inferiority of
different men. Indeed, you may almost
define hurry as condition to which an
inferior man is reduced by haste. | one
day observed a committee of the House
of Commons, sitting on a railroad bill.
The chief secretary of the company,
during several hours when great inter-
ests were in jeopardy, preserved truly
admirable GOODNESS, and tranquility OF
temper, comforting on him immense
advantage. His suggestions to the cOun
sci were mastery and well timed, and
by the close of the day he had tri-
umphed. How is it that one never sees
you in a hurry?' said j, as we were
pacing the long corridor on our way
from the committee room. Because it's
so expensive he replied with signifi-
cant smile. l shall never forget that
observation, and don't you"

Charlie. Mathews First Engagement.

The first regular engagement was at
Dublin, where he had very good taste
of the miseries of the calling which he
had chosen. The manager was impe-
cunious, and salaries were seldom forth
coming. More than once our aspirant
passed a couple of days without food,
but all the while studying, with undi-
minished enthusiasm, parts which he
never might be called upon to play. He
burned for low comedy, but was cast
for walking gentleman. He was at
the time lanky boy of seventeen ; he
had been subject to fits as an infant,
and these had distorted his features.

The Morality OF Manners.

Manners easily and rapidly mature
into morals. As childhood advances TO
manhood, the transition from bad man
ners to bad morals is almost impercep-
tible. Vulgar and obscene objects be-
fore the mind, engender impure images
in the imagination and make unlawful
desires prurient. From the prevalent
state of the mind, actions proceed as
water rises from fountain. Hence
what was originally only a word or
phrase becomes thought, is meretri-
ciously embellished by the Imagination,
is inflamed into a vicious desire, gains
strength and boldness by always being
welcome, until at last, under some ur
gent temptation, it dares, for once, to
put on the visible form of action; il is
then yentured upon again and again,
more frequently and less warily, un-
til repetition forges the chains Of habit;
and then language, Imagination, desire
and habit bind their victim 10 the prison
house of sin. In this way profane lam
guage wears away the reverence for
things sacred and holy &; and child who
has been allowed TO follow. and mock,
and hoot at an Incorporate man in the
streets is far more likely to become in
temperate himself than if he has been
accustomed to regard him with pity, as
fallen brother, and with sacred abhOr-
renee, as one selt-brutified or demon
lied. So, on the other hand, purity
and chasteness of language tend to pre-
serve purity and chasteness of thought
and of taste; they repel licentious imag-
inings; they delight in the unsullied
and the untainted, and ali their tenden-
cies are on the side of virtue.-Hordce

The FARMER FEEDETH ALL.

The maiden muses. on marrying;
The minstrel karpeth merrily;
The sailor ploushs thefosming sea,
The huntsmsn kills the good red deer.
And the soldier wars without cen fear (;
But fall to each, whate'er befall,
The farmer be must feed them all.
Smith hsmmereth cherry red the sword,
Priest prescheth pure the Holy Word,
Dame Alice worketh troidery well,
Clerk Richard tales of love can tell,
The tap-wife sells her foaming beer,
Dan Fisher fisheth in the mere,
And courtiers ruffie, strut and shine,
While pages bring the G2scon WINE;
But fall TO each, whate'er befall.
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man builds his castle fair and high,
Whatever river runneth by,
Great cit es rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches, monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers.
Great work is done, bet here or there.
And vel! man worketh everywhere;
But work OF rest, whGte'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.

Hours have wings and fly up to the
Author of time, and carry news of our
usage. All our prayers cannot entreat
one of them either to return or slacken
his pace. The misspents of every min

zen. Surely, if we thought thus, we
would dismiss them with better reports,

good, and stay with the Ancient of Days
