Detached thoughts.

1t Is not philosophy that makes
men happy, but cheerfulness that
makes men philosophers.
Conventionality is not monster
that we should fear, but mere bug
aboo to frighten imagination.
One can never tell how far to carr
ry criticism of ones fellow creatures
and still not gall his own conscience.
Those who are congenitally ours
ed should command our pity; there
fore / pity the two-headed woman
and the pig-headed cynic.
Woman wears the yoke of custom
in lowliness of soul, glad to live on
any terms, and seemingly proud of
her eminence in misery.
What cheerful confession it is we
are obliged to make--that the high
est reach of honorable ambition is
dependent on the caprice Of fools.
There is mean injustice in the der
ivation of cynic from dog As be
tween the cynic and the dog, / find
the latter much the pleasanter com
panion.
Grubbers and cynics, who wear
their hair long and seem to have an
incurable collie, will tell you that at
65 mans whole duty consists in tax
Ing pills.
The real pig that squeals is a moro
tuneful and melodious singer than
the artistic dog that squeaks by me-
chanical pressure on its little stom-
ach.
The ecstatic triumphs of young
love adorn the lives Of lovers and
make all earth a primitive Eden, as
Eden was before the fatal acquisi-
ton Of knowledge,
Every daring mind is irked by emf
inent responsibility. You may, if
! YOU choose, call it conventionality.
Practically they are identical. Both
are born of mediocrity.

In discussing the causes Of prema
ture old age in mature life, that emf
nent authority, DIR. b. W. Richard
son, points out that indulgence in
excessive emotion, passion or bad
habits anticipates age. Grief, vain
regrets over what might have BEEN"
hatred, jealousy, intemperance, I'M
chastity, all have this effect and those
who wish to prolong their lives to a
''green old age,n in reasonable health
and vigor, should avoid them with
the utmost care. But when, as it
must, old age has really come, its
march toward final decay may be de-
layed, and the way made smoother,
by attention to those rules of conser-
walton by which life is sustained with
the least friction and waste. The
prime rules for this purpose, DIR.
Richardson suggests, are /:
To subsist on light but nutritious
diet, with milk as the standard food,
but varied according to season.
To take food in moderate quantity,
four times in day, including a light
meal before going to bed.
To clothe warmly but lightly, SO
that the body may, in all seasons,
its equal temperature
To keep the body in fair exercise,
and the mind active aud cheerful.
To maintain an interest in what is
going on in the world, and to take
part in reasonable labors and pleas
ures, as though old age were not
present.
To take plenty of sleep during
sleeping hours. To spend nine hours
in bed at least, and to take care dur
ing cold weather that the tempera-
ture of the bedroom is maintained at
sixty degrees.
To avoid passion, excitement and
luxury.

Fourteen Mistakes of Life.

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes Of life, and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are fourteen Of
them. Most people would say, if
they are told the truth, that there
was no limit to the mistakes Of life;
that they were like the drops in the
ocean or the sands Of the shore in
rumber, but it is well to be accurate.
Here, then, are fourteen great mis-
takes: at is a great mistake to set
up our own standard Of right and
wrong, and judge people according
ly; to measure the enjoyment of
others by our own; to expect uni
formity of opinion in this void; to
look for Judgment and experience in
youth; to endeavor to mould its dis
positions alike: to yield to immater-
ial trihes; to look for perfection in
our own actions; to worry ourselves
and others with what cannot be rem
idied; not to alleviate all that needs
alienation as far as lies in our power;
to consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform; to believe
only what our finite minds can grasp;
to expect to be able to understand
everything.
