1t is All Good.

There is a strong disposition in men of
opposite minds to despise each other. A
grave man cannot conceive what is the
Use of wit in society. A person who
ttke a strong common-sense view of a
subject is for pushing out by the head
and shoulders an ingenious theorist who
catches at the slightest and faintest
a%nelogies; and another man, who scents
the ridiculous from afar, will hold no
with him who feels exquisitely
the fine feeling of the heart, and is alive
to aothing else; whereas talent is talent,
and mind is mind; in all its branches /!
Wit gives to life one of its best favors;
common sense leads to immediate action:
and gives to society its daily motion;
large and comprehensive views cause its
annual rotation; ridicule chastises folly
and imprudence and keeps men in their
proper sphere; sublety seizes hold of the
fine threads of truth; analogy darts away
in the most sublime discoveries; feeling
Paints all the exquisite passions of mans
soul and rewards him by a thousand in
ward ~visitations for the sorrows that
come from without. We must despise
no sort of talent; they all have their sep.
crate duties and usei, all the happiness
of man for their objects; they all i'm

Healthy Girls.

II is no longer fashionable with the

9y an inane desire to appear fragile and
SenteeI at the expense of health. The
cores of buxom, bright-eyed young la
lies one will meet upon any of our pub
Ic thoroughfares any afternoon is ample
evidence of the truth of the assertion.
No longer do the fair ones seem wan and

ocomotion suggestive of effort; but on
tie contrary nearly all seem strong and

With the ruddy glow of health. Doctors
generally agree that there is far less of
tckness among the sex than has formerly
aeen the case, and this could be attrib-
tied solely to the glorious practice young
aides have of late acquiredo of testing their

mo in other forms of light physical exer-
Use. It is to be hoped that the good

How to Obtain Long Life.

Thousands of people annually ruin
heir constitution by simply swallowing
90 much medicine. IL may seem a very
strange thing for a medical man to say,
out 1t is nevertheless the fact. 1t is a
dangerous thing to fly with every little
iilment to the medicine chest. The use
of %tonics, unless under medical advice,
should be discountenanced; a tonic is
sharper than a two-edged sword, it is a
;ool that needs to be used with caution.
There are now, | am sorry to see, some
aerated waters coming into use WHICH
contain the strongest mineral tonics, that
are apt to accumulate in the system with
the most disastrous results. They should,
therefore, not be drunk nd ibitHm as to
quantity, or without guidance to quality.
Rest should be taken with great regular
ity. One day in seven should be set
apart for the complete rest of both body
and mind. Independent of this, all who
can afford it should take an annual holi-
day. Travelling is quite cheap, and two
weeks Or a months relaxation from care
and business cannot make "a big hole in
the purse of one who works all the rest
of the year and knows how to economic
time. Innocent pleasure and wholesome
recreation conduct to longevity. All
work and no play sends Jack to an early
grave. Recreation is to the mind and
nervous system what sunshine is to the
blood. As "a physician, | must be allowed
to say just one word about the calming,
quoting effect of religion on the mind.
The truly religious make by far and
always the best patients, their chances of
recovery from serious sickness are greater,
and so is their chance of long life, simply
owing to the power they have of sub
hitting themselves quietly, yet humbly
and hopefully, to whatsoever may be be-
fore them,

One marked popularity about M.
worth, the Paris man milliner, is his
sreat dislike to perfume in any shape.
Ills workwomen are prohibited from
asing scents, and even from wearing
lowers, during their working hours.
When a lady sends him her costly laces
,orthe adornment of new dresses, oil cd

atchels, the first thing that he does is to
.ause them to be thoroughly aired. He
aever suffers any Of his subordinates to
lrape or arrange fine Iaces, reserving that
difficult and delicate detail for himself,
and accordingly every trace of perfume
must be eradicated before he can touch
