MISCELLANEOUS.
Regularity of Habit.

One of the most difficult of all mi
nor habits to acquire, says a writer,
is that of regularity. 1t ranks with
order. The natural inclination of
most persons is to defer until the last
possible moment, or to put it off to
another time, where this can possibly
be done. Net habits of regularity
contribute largely to the case and
comfort of life. A person can null
Aiply his efficiency by it. We know
persons who have a multitude of du-
ties, and who perform a vast deal of
work daily, who set apart certain
hours for given duties. and are there
at that moment and attend rigidly to
what is in hand. This Us done, and
other engagements are met, each in
order, and a vast deal accomplished,
not by strained exertion, but regular
atty. The mind can be so trained to
this that at certain hours in the day
it will turn to particular line of duty
and at other hours to other and diff
ferent labors. The very diversity is
restful, when attended to in regular
order. But let these run together,
and the duties mixed, and what be-
fore was easy is now annoying and
oppressive, and the exact difference
between many is at this point. There
are those who confuse and rush, and
attempt to do several things at once
and accomplish little, while another
will quietly proceed from one duty to
another, and easily accomplish vast
amount of work. The difference is
not in the capacity of the two, but in
the regular methods of the one, as
compared with the irregular habits of
