and Convenience. We arc in
clined to differ from this opinion.
We-believe that people, children
especially, shollltt eat tis often aS
they feel limiger, if it be a dozen
times a day. Wb do not mean
that they should eat every time
i\\ex imugitw they' are hmigry,
but ouly' ivhen the ‘‘gtiaw'iiig”
sensation of the stomach demands
food. The ctistOiii of two meals

Little liarry had been (juite
sick, and mother was obliged to
I'O very careful of his diet, One
of the orders was that he tfttS to
eal ifOthing but wbnt she gave
liiin.
One day, little .Jennie came in
eating a. ])iece of cake, Oh ! how
nice it looked to the little hungry
b'oy', ivho felt, n.s y'on do when
you are getting better, that he
vvisbed to eat all the time. Tie
knew, if he just asked his dear,
obliging little sister, she would
gladly' give him ‘the biggest half.’
But he only said, ‘Oh Jennie,
you must run right out with that
eake^ and I’ll keep my eyes shut
tight,..so I shan’t want any'.’
Now, that was a great triumph
for a bay only setm years old.
Some big boy# of seventeen could
not have done so well. They' are
far from shutting their ey'es tight
when temptation to taste wrong
things is before them. They'
rather suffer their eyes to lead
thefff straight into mischief.
‘Turn away mine eyes from
beholding vanity,’ is an excellent
prayer.—‘loot not upon the wine

Revi Dr. 'J’ahnnge entertains
comforting iiotiolis in 1-og‘ai‘Ll to
eternity'. lie believes that in
heaven old and true friends know
each t)ther a n d love each
other the more, that, t^hl'istians
saj' “good iiig'hl” to friends on
earth and say “good morning'”, to
friends in heaven. He , thinks
that a friendship only, for five or
ten or thirty years is not worth
much and that the aruls> of friend
ship are not so short that they
cannot reach across the grave.
Of course the Doctro,must have
referencQ to genuine friendship,
for we sulnnit that in heaven
where the secrets of the heart are
all made plain and read out from
a book, many a man will hear oil
an "old friend” what it wouldn’t
be well for him to have known
when here on earth. We merely
put this with refcrenc,e to the term
as the word geuerallyi uses it of
“old friend.” The doctor coiitimios
and says it is well that death
takes away’ nothing that is cvortl
keeping. A merceiiafy and hard
hearted frienctship cannot slide
across the grave, but .the unity of
souls, tlie conimiiigliiig of hearts,
the bearing of niu tual burdens are
jirophetlc of our eternal intimacy.
Wo may part liere and our graves
may cleave different portions of
the earth, hut the present scenes
ivill be renewed Wider milder
skins, and ‘ onr friendship will
bloom immortal.

Nothing can bo worse for a
child tlian to he frightened. The
effect of the scare it is slow to
recover from ; it remains some
times until niatiirity, as i.s shown
by many instances of morbid
sensitii'eness and escessive ner

is employed «.s a means of disci

I A writer in Ajjpleton's Journal
gives the amusing description of
a jiresidential reception at Wash
ington iu the days of Polk’s ad
ministration :
First came a group of men, em
barrassed, large-iianded, glove-
less, who did not know what to
do with themselves j then a cou
ple of far-Weet liuinblo pioneers,
ivho had evidently scraped up
enough money to bi-ing tliem to
wasliington, and wlio were in the
liomeapun and homely garments
suited to their fortunes: They
were on a broad! grim Then
came formal, uninteresting peo-
jile, without any salient poculiar-
arity'; then a man in a green
baize jacket,—one of those re
publicans who love to show their
independence by' being a little
below the standard of decency;
tlien a group of glittering diplo
matists, with their orders iu their
button-holes ; then a jiarty of the
gay' society of the District,—
beautifulh'-dressed women (ac
cording to tlie standard of tlie day',
which was far plainer than ours;)
and then four or five smoky
smelling Indians, in wampum and
war-paint. One,- I remember,
having lost bis nose-ring, (he was
a very' “big chief,” indeed,-) had
put a pink artificial rose-bud in
his nose, the flower on one side,
and the wire stem protruding on
the other; the aboriginal dandy'
was evidently inuch pleased with
this adornment,. He was rather
troublesome, for he inststed on
taking hold of tho earrings of the
ladies, and I think Mrs. Knox
Walker trembled for her solitair
es. These savage guests w’cre
often at the White House,, and
always eomportetl themselves
with dignity', I believe; but once
one' of them gotfrightenedatsome-
thing, or perhaps had partaken
too freely of fire-water before he
came, and starting froth the' e'a’st
room,, ho' ran ffantically across
i t and jumped- t-h-rough' the' Wi-ii-
dow,; scattering' glass' aild sksli oh
every' side. Afti f this tlhey Were
moi-'c cautiously admitted-.

AAvetnres of a Diamond.
Tliofollowiiig,story' is tdl(l.abbut
the French writer, tlib late Jules,
Jaiiiii, and the famous Sancy dia-
moiid ;
The old Ihliifesii bdnildorfl’
used to iveaf the Bstiicy diamond
as, a dih'Hj-pin.- HiitJ (lay she
wont with her liiisband and Jules
Janiii to visit the lafiii're; and
taking oft' her sliaivl bfe'cailsd the

asking jiirii fb Ji'tit the dlfittiond
pin iu his jidckef tiiltil siie' sdiould
ask him fo'f it, . NoW yOtt khoiv
that the Saucy is worth orife mil
lion, five hundred thousand fl-ancs,
and Janin put it in his Vest pticket
with the same sang frUid tig if it
had been a iie\X pietio of glass.
On gottiiig into her osirfiage, the
|irinccss a.S'ked fof her .shaw, but
forgot to inquire for tlie diamOnd,
and drove,off: The next fliiy she
sent roitiid to Janin fOi‘ Jie'r pre
clous stone.
But no dlitmoiid w'.as to he
foiimi- The vest; a white oiv;
had gone to wash, and with it the
Sancy'. Off ivenf ,Janin in tre)ii-
datioii to the domicile of bis wash
erwoman.- in Older to avoid, sus-
])i('intis, ho iisked her qttietly if
she had found any tlliltg Ih the
piocket of his vest.-
“No/” said she.-
“Quite' sitfe ?” asked he figain,
becoming li-fidiy' pale:
“Ah, yes, 1 did by the -iva.v ;
a big piece Of gfesS.- |ly little
boy has it tio'-iv I ho is playing
with it in the yard.”
And Jttnin rushed out to recover
the gem, the brilliant colors of
which were delighting a batch of
dirty' urchins, w'ho were evil then
disciis.sing the propriety' of shat
tering the jewel ih'to a fflotteaiid
