 Nov, l thirk is Is undeniable tha the peace and happiness of the home circle are very generally much invaded by the recurrence ln its members of these states of bodily durability. Every person. If he thinks the matter over, viii sc that his condition in life, the character ol hts ffiends, hia estimate of theas virtues and failings. his hopss and expecsaiions are ali very mach modified by the.e things Cannot ve xil remember going to bed as very illuscd, pefsecuted indivsduals. all whose friends were unreasonable, whose iie was full of trials and csosses, and up on bright bird-singing morning to snd all these illusions gone with the fogs oi the niehts Oar friends are nice people the iittie things that annoyed us look ridiculous by bright sunshine and we are fortunate individuals.
 The philosophy ef life, then, as far as this matter is conce ned, must consist of two things: 6rst, to keep ourselves out of irritable bodily states and, second, to understand and consrot these staies, when we cannot ward them o6.
 Of course. the first of these is the most important: yst, of all things. is seems to 6e least looked into and undes- stood. We 6nd abundant rules for the government of the tongue and temper it is dough into which, John Bunyan hath 1t, cart-loAds of wholesome instruc. sio1: have been thrown; bat how so get and keep that healthy state of brain, stomach, and nerves which takes away the temptation to ill-temper and anger is subject which moral and rehgious teachers seem scarcely to touch upon.
 Sov, without running into technical physiological language, it is evident, as regards Us human beingS that there is a power by which we live and move and have our being-by whicn the brain thinks and wills. the stomach digests, the blood circulases, and all the different provinces of the little man-kinedom do their work. This something call ui nervous power. vital energy, l,le- force, os anything else that you wills perfectly understood, if not de6nable thing. It is plain, too, that people possess this force in fery different degrees; some generating ii A a high pressure engine does steam, and usisg tt constantly, with an apparently ipexhsussibse nov and othess who have little, and spend n quickly.
