FAMILY MATTERS.

An act by which we make one friend
and one enemy is q losing game, be-
cause revenge is q much stronger prin-
ciple than gratitude.
a great man under the shadow Of
defeat is taught how precious are the
uses of adversely; and, as a trees
roots are strengthened by its shadow,
so all defeats i'll a good cause are but
resting places Oh the road to victory
at last.
No one is truly rich who has not
wealth Of love, wealth of sympathy,
wealth of goodwill for men. No one
knows what luxury is who has not
enjoyed the luxury Of doing good.
No one has real happiness who has
not the happiness of making others
happy.
A man desiring to enjoy the de-
lights and consultations unknown to q
single condition, prepared to love anl
cherish under all calamities and
changes, would DO well, il possible,
to learn q little OF the carly training
OF the woman he desires to make the
partner Of his joys and the CONSIDER
Of his SORROWS, and to have some
knowledge OF her in a domestic rela-
ton.
You will not be sorry for hearing
before judging, for thinking before
speaking, for holding an angry tongue,
for stopping the car to a tale bearer,
for disbelieving most OF the i'll reports,
for being kind to the distressed, for
being patient toward everybody, for
doing good to all men, for asking par
don for all wrongs, t0r speaking evil
of no one, for being courteous to all.
The Chinese have q proverb to the
effect that if you keep Il serpent in
bamboo it remains straight, but di-
rectly you let it out it resumes its
crooked nature. So it is with many
men. They are placed in circum-
stances which act as restraint upon
them, and they seem to be walking
Alright; but take that restraint away,
and they soon show by their lives
that the nature of the old serpent is in
them still.
The body is affected by every men
tai and moral action; the mind is
profoundly influenced by bodily con-
ditions. For perfect system of n.y.
giene we must combine the knowledge
of the physician, the schoolmaster
and the divine, and must train the
body, the intellect, and the moral soul
i'll perfect and balanced order. Then,
if our knowledge were exact and our
means of application adequate, we
should sec the human being i'll his
perfect beauty, as Providence perhaps
intended him to be.
Talent and Tact.-Talent sees its
way clearly, but tact is first at its
journeys end. Talent receives many
a compliment from the bench, but tact
receives fees from attorneys and
clients. Talent speaks learnedly and
logically, tact triunphantly. Talent
makes the world won,ier that it gets
OH no faster, tact excltes establishment
that it gets on so fast; AMI the secret
is that it has no weight to carry, it
makes no false steps, 1t hits the right
nail on the head, iG loses 10 time, it
takes all hints, aud, by keeping its eye
on the Weathercock, is ready to take
advantage or every VIM that blows.
Warmth.-Thc chief if not the only
use Of wraps ami warm surround
ings is to avoi,l the loss OF animal heat
by abstraction. Ii is neither scientific
nor hygienlc, i'll any true sense, to trust
to external sources OF supply for the
warmth We require to 1--we well, hap
PLY, and usciuily. The food is more
than the raiment; ana those who de-
sire to help the poor an melancholy
over their ''dcad points ia the course
Of life should be Chiefly anxious to
feed them We'll and sufficiently. So
in the management OF self-to live
well is to feed appropriately. Stimuli
1ants do not give s.rcnstn, because
they cannot aul 10 the normal and
healthy sources o; ;ilill neat. Nu-
Eiment is Inc only ti'uc l0ci.
