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,

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

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.

he was an invalid, and never ex

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. The boy won

Edward Everett once said; “To
read the English language well
to write with dispatch a neat, leg
ible hand, and be master of the

every question of figures which
comes up in practice—I call this
a good education. And if you add

A handsome g reen parrot was
kept in a family that made a great
pet of her, and allowed her the
range of the house. 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!
Thou shalt not steal!” and then
she burst out into a merry ha!
ha ! ha !
To say that she was a great
pet in the family would be only
to tell the truth.—JGm;? Words.
