PIG TRUTHS IN UTTUB COMPASS. Becoming Djstinguishep,— lf you are poor, distinguish yourself by your virtue; if rich, by your good deeds. Seeking Wisdom.— Seek wisdom, and you will be sure/ to find her ; but if you do not look for her, she will not look for you. To-morrow. — "To-morrow," says Thomas a Kempis, "is an uncertain day.; how do you' know whether you will have a tomorrow ?" A Contented Spirit,— To secure a contented spirit, measure your desires by your fortunes, and not your fortunes .by your desires.' A He*vjj Task. — He who tells a lie is not sensible how great a task he undertakes, for he must be forced, to invent at least twenty, /more to maintain one. Little Things. — Our life is made up of little things. Our attention to them is the index to our character, and often the balance, by, which it is weighed. From Ridiculous to Vicious. — Affectation is certain deformity ; by forming themselves on' fantastic models the young begin with being ridiculous, and often end in being vicious. . .j^ Out of Reach.— To pooh-pooh what we are never likely to possess is wonderfully easy. In iEsop it is the tailless fox that advocates the disuse of tails. It is. the. grapes we cannot reach that we call sbur. Unending Influence. — We know not what we are any more than what we shall be. It is. a high and solemn, almost awful, thought for everyone that his earthly influence which has had a commencement will never through all ages, even were he the meanest of us, have an end. '-■&{' Happiness at our Doors.— Happiness is like manna, :It is to be gathered in the grains and : enjoyed every day : it r will not jceep ; it cannot be accumulated ;, nor need we go but of ourselves, nor into remote places, 4o {wilier it, since it has rained down Irom heaven at our very doors, or rather within them. , :■s>.. lUjoking Ahead.— A few more rapidljK rolling years,, flowing past .like a; river, J vanishing like a dream, youth will be gone, ' Mid the world will look everywhere, and reject those who have not already learned io reject it. Let us, then, love that eternal 1 enuty which; never grows old, and which endows its lovers with perpetual youth. ' Reading and Thinking.— Reading fur- ! l ishes (he mind only with materials of j Knowledge; it is thinking makes what we i read ouvs. We are of the ruminating kind, nnd it is not enough to craW .ourselves with' n great load of collections :: unless we chew them over again, they will not be found to tive us either strength or nourishment ? At LEisuRE.-rH.aye. eight hours,a day ■entirely devoted to business, andyou.will •then find that you 'have time for otner pursuits ; this for some: time to come will , seem; in you a paradox, but you- will one, day, be cnnvinicecl of the truth of what I tell you, that the man who is the most engaged has always the most leisure. The True > Realm of Women.— Of the realm of home, woman is the queen ; home takes its cue and its hue from her. If she is in the best sense womanly— if she is true and tender, loving and heroic, patient and Bclf-devoteilj ' '*co)isciftisly/ ftjr >ftc^ijsciqusly organises and {Jut's in operation's set of influences tba^do mor^ to. mpuld, the desjihy' of' the • na'tibb' than v any : man, un» crowned by power pf eloquence, can pospibly dp, ■'•' ;'' •'' ■■ '■'■''■-'■' '■ ' .' A ; Guilty Conscience.— Fancy runs most furiously when a guilty conscience drives it. One whp owed. much money, and had many, creditors, as he walked London streets in the evening a tenter-hook caught his cloak. "jAt whose suit?" said he, conceiving some bailiff had arrested him. Thus guilty consciences are afraid where no fear is, and count everycreiturethey meet a sergeant sent from Cod to punish them. Ljfe.— We walk here as it were in the crypts 'of life; at times from the great cathedral above us we can hear the organ and the chanting of the choir; we see the light stream through the open door when some friend goes up before us ; and shall we fear to mount the narrow staircase of the grave, that leads us out of this uncertain twilight into the' serene mansions of the life eternal? • - £.•■ Ejrvv:-JOf all the rankling pains whlcha' hun^an heart can experience, that of envy {f, next to remorse, the most painful. It lias 'not the 'dignity of anger, it receives not ihe i sympathy which grief creates, and it niuat not be acknowledged, even to ourselves, for the meanest of mankind might <despise himself for feeling it, and the proudest is degraded by a conviction that 'there lives another who, in anything, appears superior to hhnself. ' ... v-'.. . " s TfiuE Bravery.— We are brave when we overcome that which threatens to overcome us, ; We are heroes when we are able to cha^n some darling desire, and: to -say to somjs,ppwerful passion, "Be I am' yout master," To be bold against an,eneniy. is common to the brute. Man's prerogative is to be bold against himself, to conquer his own lust s,at.d wicked ambitions and fancies, in ihe sacred name of duty to God. That is to be noble I ThaMs to be brave ! , - FRUJT AS AN ARTICLE OP. DAILY, One of the most salutary tendencies of domestic management in' our day is' that which aims at assigning to fruit a favoured place in : our ordinary diet. The nutrient value of such food; in virtue of itscomponent starchy and saccharine, material, js generally ■ admitted; and while these substances, cannot be said to equal in accumulated • foree 1 the most solid ingredients of meat and animal fat, they are similarly useful in theirown degree, and have, moreover, the advantage of greater digestibility. Their con - version within the tissues is also, attended with less .friction and pressure ori the constructive machinery, , Almost all persons in fairly normal, health may partake of sound and ripe fruit in greater or less amount. Except in certain cases, indeed, there is practically no exact limit to its consumption under these circumstances. Among such exceptions may be noted the gouty and rheumatic habit of body. A tendency to diarrhoea or . a dysenffic history qbviqusly forbids the free or -frequtmt use of i fruit. Dyspeptic stomachs, on the other hftnd. aire usually benefited Ijy, a, moderate allowance of this light' "and stimulating fare, lit must be remembered, moreover, that every fruit j is not equally wholesome, let the digestion be as.ppwerful 4sit h;ay; Nuts, for/ekanipfc; [ consisting. as they do, for the mpst part; pf eppderised albuminoid and fatty matters, cannot compare in acceptance, either by the ! palate or the stomach, with otlieY more j succulent • kinds, even ■ ■ though they contain in the same bulk a far greater amount of nutriment.' A little of each fruit is enough for digestion,, and that little is best cooked. I Nevertheless, if we take fruit as a whole, ripe and sound of course, and consider its variety, its lightness, and nourishing properties, whether, ea^en alone or with other food, and its cheap abundance, we cannot hesitate to hdd our voice In support of its just claims OB public atUnilom— Zri»»c**i
