duty; tie former has things done when

long an article ought to last: the other is

give ready money for both commodities.
The one has her housekeeping done in
May; with the other it always bangles

at almost any hour of the day; the other
has to hurry and scllrry to make herself
prcsentable. The one always has some
thing tOOihsome in reserve if an unex,ec,-

has nothing but an apology. With one all

Prayer Meetin: Hsufs.

One blight of our prayer and conference
meetings is tormality. We say not the
thing that we feel. but the thing we sup
pose we ought TO feel, and that our neigh
bors expect us to feel. And too often the
remarks are rs far removed from the truth
as they are from novelty. 81 would not
give up my humble hope for thousand
worlds like this" Not very likely; and
Satan does not offer him thousand
worlds. nor one; he knows it is no: need

hope for siXpence: Does he not dim it
for the sake of lying abcd one hour later
in the morning? Il feel that am a great
sinner" says the brother: but lie never
comes to particulars he never says. IL
am prone to be selfish, to be passionate, to
be proud" and nothing would surprise
him more. or CRAFTY him less. than to have
anybody take him ut his word.

The subject OF longevity is receiving
medical director of IN insurance company
who has recently made collection OF the
biographies and experiences of one hun
dred and eighty men upwards of seventy
years OF age. received replies to his Iucs-
tons. the substance of which is embodied
in the following: Questions respecting the
habits of these men at the age of thirty
disclosed the fact that at that aye only
eleven were below the average bodily Wig
or and eighty-tivc Judged themselves above
it, half being about average men in bodily
health and strength at that age. A great
majority had spent their lives in the coun-
try. Very few had ever taken vacations
or systematic recreation. but had uniform
ly been steady and constant ut their bust !
ness. Their occupations were classed as |
follows: Farmers. rs: working at trades.
G.; merchants. 2G: liberal professions, IL.
Almost without exception they were
''eaIly to bed and early to rise" Of the
$50. Isl were married at or before arriving
ut the age OF 80 years, and % of the re-
mining 20 entered the matrimonial state
at a later period. As to habits. l25 used
both tea and coffee. 30 tea alone, 8 coffee
alone, leaving eight of this large number
who used neither. Only three were vege-
tarans. At the age of thirty. there were
"a who did not use tobacco in any form.
and lib who reported its use. In regard
to intoxicating liquids. at thirty years of
age 81 were total abstainers. and 30 more
became such later in life. Seven confessed .
to being incorporate at thirty. but only IL {
were habiital users either ut thirty or af- y
forward. The number who classed them f,
selves as using intoXicants 'only OCCASION +
ally" decreased from lG5 at thirty to 60 in y
later life. OF all this number of old men. q
ranging from seventy TO nincty-sx years q
IL age, all were able to take exercise on I

Instinct and Intelligence.

In view OF all the instances given,
think we may conclude that instinct is not
fixed, immutable, perfect law and guide,
but an imperfect. improbable, gradually
acquired method Of adjusting actions to
the surrounding conditions; and, there
for, subject to slow perfection through the
survival Of the fittest variations. Let us
now see whether animals possess other
mental powers than the instinctiveness :;
| whether they exhibit any faculty which
may properly.be called intelligence. No
one doubts that most Of our domestic ami
mails admit of individual improvement or
education, but it may be said that this i'm
proyement is due to mans intelligence,
not to that of the animals themselves.
There is abundant proof, however. that
animals are capable of much individual
improvement in a state of nature. You
can't catch old birds with chatf, and new
trap partakes Of the properties Of ne
