OEPHANS’ FRIEND. Wctlucstlay, October 31, IlAPPlXKaS. II.T-ppiness onoo made a pil grimage to earth, bringing Life, Ilealtli and Teace ; but she soon became tainted with evil, and thus forfeited these treasures. Life and Health and Peace, hitherto bound together by Ilap- piness, missed her sadly. They beo-an to bo at variance one witli another. Life, hitherto guided by the hand ot Happiness, began to indulge in many things which Health and Peace discountenanc ed. Health demanded much that Life refused, and Peace would not dwell where there was dis cord. Sometimes they seemed united, and all things passed pleasantly for a while, but the least offense of one displeased the others. Many persons think they have found "the true secret of uniting forever these contending ones, and restoring Hapniness to her former place. Some affirm that she still dwells on earth in her original perfection. She has indeed been purified, and dwells again on earth, but the world has never found her hiding place; for it is in the Rock of Ages. Some think she dwells only in palace halls; others hope to find her in cottage homes; but in these places, as elsewliere, the seekers after true liappiness are disappointed. Many, under the impression that they'" see in the distant future her lavorite haunt, jn-ess eagerly onward. Alas ! how often has it"proven but an ignis fatuus to lure them into unsafe places, from w'hence there is no escape. Content and Hope, her chief handmaidens, soothe many weary hearts, and prepare for the en trance of Happiness. ddiough a perfect union of Life, Health and Peace can never be effected again in this world, vet groat harmony may prevail. Es pecially' is this true in the Chris tian, who clings alone to the Rock OF Ages and abides continually under its shadow. Here Happi ness often requires transplanting to its native soil—heaven.—Delta, in Kind Words. fession, and was thought to ‘just gone in consumption but it was only dy'spepsia, and I cured him by attention to his diet. He has been perfectly' well and a worker ever since we were married.” Horace Mann had a will that seemed to overcome all obstacles; at twenty', he had only been to a common district school, but in six months he fitted himself lor and entered the Sophomore class. Having obtained a scholarship of three hundred dollars a yeai’, he devoted every energy to his studies; but he neglected his body, and lived on baker’s bread and molasses ; or rather tried to live on them, for he soon began to fail, and almost died. Some ladies, hearing of this, invited him to their house, where, with proper nourishment and care, he soon recovered, and graduated with the highest hon ors. Mrs. Mann always attended very carefully' to her husband’s diet, which was by' no means the least part of her usefulness and assistance to him.—-Family Jour nal.

A person can do a great deal of work if he will only sleep and eat enough to supply' the waste of body and brain. Mental work is more exhaustive than the hard est physical labor. A very eminent physician says that “ more teachers and scholars break down from lack of sufficient nourishment than from any other cause! Those who do much head work need a good generous diet; plen ty of food, and that of the most nourishing kind ; plenty of beef, and that the best. The more active the brain, the greater the exhaustion following. Recuperation must come through sleep and food. A remarkably healthy efficient lady of Cambridge says. “ I have seven children in school, and they are going ahead rapidly.” “ Are you not afraid for their health 1” we asked. “Oh, no, I think it very es sential that they should have good, nourishing diet, and see to it that they do. _ They have no trouble with their work, and are perfectly healthy. “ When I first met their father, he was an invalid, and never ex pected to do anything in his pro- John was the boy who “ lived out.” Every' week he wrote home to his mother, who lived on a small, rocky' farm anmiig the hills. One day John picked up an old envelope from the wood box, and saw that the postage stamp on it was not touched by the postmas- tei’s stamp to show that it had done duty and was henceforth useless. “ The postmaster missed his aim then,” said John, “and left the stamp as good as new. I’ll use it my'self.” He moistened it at the nose of the tea kettle, and carefully' pull ed the stamp off. “No,” said conscience, “for that would be cheating. The stamp has been on the letter ; it ought not to carry another.” “ It can carry another,” said John, “because, you see, there is no mark to prove it worthless. The post office will not know.” “ Rut you know,” said con science, “ and that is enough. It is not honest to use it a second time. It is a little matter, to be sure; but it is cheating. God looks for principle. It- is the quality of every action which he judges by'.” “ Rut no one will know it,” said John, faintly. “ No one f” cried conscience. God will know it—that is enough, and he, you know, desires truth ^ in the inward parts.” “ Yes,” cried the best part of John’s character, “yes; it is cheating to use the postage stamp the second time, and I will not do it.” John tore it in two and gave it to the winds.

She seemed to understand a great many words. When she was hungry she would call; “Cook, cook ! Polly wants a potato." She knew what potato vvas as well as the cook did, and if something else was put in the pan when she asked for that, she would take hold of the dish with her beak, upset it and ciy, “Won’t have it! turn it out!” She liked girls much better than boys. Ohe day some boys who were visiting in the house were pretty' noisy in their play', and she called in vehement tones, Sarah, Sarah! Here is a hullaba loo!” If her mistress was late at breakfast or from the table, she would ask again as she had heard some of the children at previous times; “Where’s mother? Isn’t dear mother well ?” When she saw any' of them in mischief, or having anytliing she had heard forbidden, she would say, “I’ll tell mother.” They had no doubt she would fulfill her promise; so it often hap pened that Polly kept them in or der. One day she was sitting on the shoulder of the father of her mis tress, near the front door. The old gentleman called his grand daughter, and unrolling a pack age of candy, offered it to her. ■Hands off! hands off!” said the parrot. “That's mine, that's mine!
