A wise man will desire no more than

The great difference between. virtue
and vice is this: For virtue you have
a price to receive for viceyou have q
price to pay.
There have been in all ages sssne
who worked for God and humanity
separate and alone, and they are to be
honored not for their independence
but for their works sake.
Purity, like the refreshing rose,
sheds fragrance, peculiarly its own,
over our whole conversation aud ike
that lovely flower, leaves its retiring
scent when We are gone.
A soul occupied with great ideas best
performs small duties. The diymest
views of life penetrate most clearlyfin'
to the meanest emergencies.

THE DIET OF STRONG MEN.-The
Roman soldiers who built such won
derful roads, and carried a weight OF
armor and luggage that would crush
the average farm hand, lived on coarse
brown bread and sour wine. They
were temperate in diet, and regular
and constant in exercise. The Spanish
peasant works every day and dances
half the night, yet eats only his black
bread, onion and watermelon. The
Smyrna porter eats only little fruit
and some olives, yet he walks off with
his load of a hundred pounds. The
coolie, fed on rice, is more active and
can endure more than the negro fed on
fat meat. The heavy work of the
world is not done. by men who eat the:
greatest quantity. Moderation IN diet
seems to be the prerequisite of endur!
auce.

tits possible, however, in speaking
of American interiors, to pass over In
silence certain eyesore, which meets
your sight at every turn. :,
The most indispensable, it appears,
the most conspicuous at any rate, piece
of furniture in America is the spittoon. I.
All rooms are provided with this OBJ:
ject of prime necessity; you find ops
beside your seat in the trains, under
your table in the restaurants; impossi-
BILE to escape the sight of the ugly
utensil. In the hotel corridors there is
spittoon standing sentinel outside
every door. In public buildings the
floors are dotted with them, and they
form the line all up the stairs. r.;
The Americans, used to these targets
from the tenderest age, ere marvellous
ly adroit at the use of them; they new
er miss their aim. I saw some really
striking feats of craftsmanship; but
perhaps the best of all at the Capitol,
in Washington.
The supreme court of judicature was
sitting. AS entered an advocate was
launching thunders of eloquence. All
at once he stopped, looked at spit
toon which stood two yards off, aimed
at it, and Kerr-on-craaahh-ptu!
right in the bulls eye; then on he
went with his harangue. looked to
see the seven judges and the public ap-
plaud and cry bravo! Not murmur,
the incident passed completely unno-
ticed. Probably there was not man
in the hall who could not say to him
self: "There's nothing in that, I could
do as much"
"If I were queen" exclaimed Mime.
Recamier one day, II would command
Nine. de Stael to talk to me all day
long.n One would like to be able to
give the same order to plenty of Amer
lean women. In their company con-
versation never flags and always re.
mains within the domain of couserie;
they glide lightly from one subject to
another, extracting something fresh
from each, pass from the serious to the
CAV, even to the frivolous without be-
coming commonplace, soar again to
lofty heights, but do not disdain to
come down to gossip for minute or
two; all this without q grain of afec-
tation, but with a charm of natural
ness that is delightfully."- winning.

Every American with the least self.

gion of Honor. .',r:.
When you are presented to gentle
man, in an American drawing room,

if luck should be against you, call him
