The Great English Poets Advice tn .
Public school Hoy.
The following letter which is quoted
by the Irish Ecclesiastical Gazette, was
addressed by the late Charles Kingsley
to public school-boy who had put
money into sweepstake without
thinking it was wrong: My dearest
boy: There is matter which gave me
much uneasiness when you mentioned
it. You said you had put into some
lottery for the Derby, and had hedged
to make safe. Now, all that is bad.
bad. nothing but bad. OF all habits
gambling is the one l hate most and
have avoided most. OF all habits il
grows most on eager minds. Success
and loss alike make it grow. OF all
habits, however much civilized men
may give way to it. it is one of the
most intrinsically savage. Historically
it has been the peace excitement OF
the lowest brute in human form for
ages past. Morally il is unchivalrous
and unchristian. Cd II gains money
by the lowest and most unjust means,
for it takes money out of your neigh
bor's pocket without giving him any
thing in return. (2) 1t tempts you to
use what you fancy your superior
knowledge of horses merits-or any
thing else-to your neighbor's harm.
If you know better than your neigh
bor, you are bound TO give him your
advice. Instead. you conceal your
knowledge to win from his ignorance;
hence comes all sorts of concealments,
lodges, deceits-I say the devil is the
only father of it. I'm sure. moreover,
that the head master would object Sc
riously to any thing like u lottery, bet
ting or gambling. hope you have
not won. should not be sorry
for you to lose. If you have won I
shall not congratulate you. Ii you
wish to please me you will give back
to its lawful owners the money you
have won. If you are a loser in gross
thereby, | will gladly reimburse your
losses this time. As you had put in,
you could not in honor draw back
until after the event. Now you can
give back your money, saying that you
understood that the head master and
/ disapprove of such things. and so gain
q great moral influence. Recollect al
ways that the stock argument is
worthless. 1t is this: My friend
would win from me If he could, there
fore l have an equal right to win
from him. Nonsense. The same argu-
ment would prove that have right
to MAIN or kill man if only Igiya
him leave to main or kill me II he can
and will. ! have spoken my mind once
and for all on a matter on which |

Pleasures Of Thought Communion.

The man who is oppressed by the
sense of loneliness when he is not with
his associates, or in the whirl and
dizzy round of society. who can not sit
down in some retired place and COM
mune with his thoughts. is throwing
away the dearest privilege of his life.
With such companions as the past and
the future one can never be alone or
feel alone. BY conversing with the
hours Of the past we can lind out how
many of them have gone to Heaven,
and by conversing with the future learn
how much blessing or sorrow will
be scattered along our pathway

brains, who had little money, but
not enough, hit upon a novel and sue
cessful scheme for making more. At
small price she bought a very old
house that was in disuse. She re-
stored the old house, carefully pre-
serving the original style, laid out the
grounds suitably and attractively, and
advertised the place for sale. She
made handsomely by the transaction,
and repeated it. After she had sold
her third house she had enough money
and retired from business.

AN English physician has shown
why some people can digest milk read
lily and others can not. He says: In
the digestive fluids of the stomach
there exists a special ferment by which
the flesh-forming part of the milk. the
cheese or caseine, is especially digested.
This ferment continues in action
throughout life in some persons, but
not in all; SO that there are some who
can digest milk at all times and others
who can not digest it at any time. In
