As to trouble, who expects to find cherries without atones, or roees without tbomsl Vanity keepa persons in favor with them- Wlves who are out o! favor with aU others.

If yon had the abUitiea of aU the great me n paat and preaent, you could do nothing welL with out ainoerely meaning it, and settins about it. Many persons fancy themselves friendly when they are only officious. They counsel not ao much that they should become wise, as that they should be recc^ized as teachers of wisdom. Verily, verily, teavellershave seen many idols in many coun1a:ie but no human eyes have ever seen more daring, grcas, and shocking images of the Divine nature than we crea- tures of the dust make in our own likenessea of our own bad paaaiona. Christianity means to the merchant that he should be honest to the judge it means that he should be just to the servant, that he should be faithful to the schoolboy that he should be dilij;ent to the street-sweeper, that he should sweep clean; to every woner that his work shall be well done: There is a "divine discontent" which lies at the root of all improvement, and without which we should stagnate. The indolence which craves nothing but quiet, the rtnpi- dity which sees notning to hope or woik for, and the. vanity which is self -satisfied through its ienoranoe of better things are all foes to happmess and clogs upon pro- gress. â- ; â-  » â-  â-  An Old Enemy. Macpheaton, an eminent oholera histoiisn, says that the oholera ia one of the moat an- cient diseases of which distinct descriptions exist, and there are few disei^es respecting which such an interrupted chain of evidence has been preserved.

The birthplaoe of cholera is admitted by all cholera hiatoriana to be in the delta of the Gangea, spreading thence over the globe through the medium of the religious and oom- mercial gatheringa. An Indian Fable. An owl, pufifed up with pride and vanity, was repeating hia doleful criea at midnight, from tne hollow of an old oak. ' -How ia it," he aaid, "that silence prevaila in these woods, unless it be to allow my melodioas voice to be heard with effect Surely the groves are charmed with my voice, and when i sing all nature listens. " An echo repeated the words, 'A11 nature listeas." "The nightingale has usurped my rights," contin- ued the owl "his note iaaweet, it ia true, but mine is much more nralodious." "Mnch more melodious," repeated the echo. Ex- cited by the approval, the owl, at the rising of the sun, instead of going to sleepaa usual, continued to join his horrible hooting with the matin songs of other birds. Bat they were disguated by the aounda, and with one conaent attacked the owl and drove him from thar aociety, harassing him wherever be appeajred, so that to escape from them he waa glad to avoid the light and retarn to obscurity. Vain people fancy that their imaginary parfectiona are the cause of ad' miration in others, and mistake their -~" flattery for tiie voice of fame. bis wnrderar^ baoaoaa the knufia too«aad«^ ahown » Itahr. where ooneien^oM aaranks •"PPJ*^ »• cxeeationar fiwn doingUa *!^-" P«fM»nta. who tri^tom^r Kmg Humbirrttl878,iaoonilned to the UandofEtba.

Charlea Dickena used to say that he judged the quality of house-keeping by the con- dition of the castors on the tab'e.. If the mustard was freshly made, the viiu«;ar omet stainless, 4he silver brilliant,a id the pepper- boxes perpendicular, he expected a giod, clean, well-served meal, "with beUvour to mateh," If, on the cmtrary, the castors were unclean, and out of order, he knew what he had to expect, and was seldom dis- appointed. It is, in truth, simple things that denote quality. The test of a good cook is not the ctke she can make, nor the mysteioos sausage she can concoct, nor the rich pudding she can produce. A gooi co k is known by her boiled potatoes, her mutton chop, her roasted joint. Such plain things require personal care and judgment, and are the basis of "a go 3d meal." seU- Direetions for Intelligent Lying. 1. Never toll an unnecessary lie. 2.
