A Flirt.

Tie most audacious firts (to nse the
mistaken language Of the world,) are
invariably women Of remarkably atfec-
tionalc dispositions. They long mex
prcssbly for u suitable mate; they de-
sire marriage, but they have an honora-
bic pride which will not permit thom to
take a partner Of whom they cannot be
Justly proud. Hence, whca Il suitor
makes his appearance before the fliri,
she welcomes him with double kindness;
first. because she is aifectionate, and his
;rchercd love brings out lis side Of her
character; aud next, because he may be
the Fairy Prince, for whom she has
waited with that hope deferred which
maketh the heart ick. Then, when
she finds out that she has misjudgcd
his character, she discards him, and
people call her "airt.' Is thas iuss'

How to Get to Sleep.

deeply for the space Of 'hrre minutes

found it doesn't work. Well here's Il
thing that will work, aud it is related to
the above experiment. t any one Is
troubled with slccplcssnc's, let him f'S-
ten his attention on his breathing, and
fix his eyes, as it were on the stream

THE man who does nothing don't
amount to much 1t makes but little
difference whether he is a millionaire or
pauper. He is only staguant pool,
without even energy enough to start
ripple. He dlfluses Il moral miasma over
everything around him. Do something
don't stand on the Corners gaping with
Your hands in your pockets like IN idiot.
The world was made to work in, and if
you fill your hearts with good 'uscls,
the bad spirits will keep out because
there Is ne room for them.

SuObS.

An excellent definition of "snobbery"
is given by an English paper. The
snob is the child of aristocratical socie-
ties; perched on the step Of the long
ladder, he respects the man on the
round above him, and despises the man
on the step below, without inquiring
what they are worth, solely on account
of their positions; in his inncrmoss
heart he finds it natural to kiss the boots
of the FIRST, and to kick the second. Can
you imagine more degrading position !?
