Conceit and confidence are both of
them cheats; the first always imposes un
itself, the second frequently deceives
others, too.
A man who cheats in In weight or
Iwilasttn differs from the highwayman
only in the fact that Le has less courage.
It should not be forgotten that the
discovery of error is aa necessary aa that

seeker.
Asrr or Msixo•Y.—The best way to
remember a thing is to thoroughly under-
stand it and often recall it to niind. By
reading continually with greet attention
and never passing a passage without un-
derstanding and considering it well, the
memory be stored with knowledge; and
things will occur at times when we want
them, though we can never recollect the
passages or from whence. we draw our
ideas.
In a valiant suffering for other., not
in $ slothful making others suffer fur us,
does nobleness lie. The chief t.f men is
he who sonde in the van of men, front-
ing the peril which, if it be nut van-
quished will devour the others. Every
noble crown is, and on earth will forever
be, a crown of thorns.

These were half a dozen ladies and

out of a fare." The passengers lox.ked
at each other, and all said they had put
in their fare. "If don't make any dif-
ference. There are only six fares in the
box and seven people in the car." Then
.a gentleman got up, and with a sigh put
in the missing fare, remarking, "I put in

As.ertttoe, approsohss, we receive a

nut generally that there is

Concord; it cap not be made to keep in

that grand old pope, the Catawba, can

them until the first of the New Year, or
later. The grapes are allowed d, ripen
fully; they are picked. and placed in
Wallow trays, in whioh they remain in
an airy room to "cure." The operation
of curing consists merely in a sort of
wilting, by which the akin becomes
toughened, and will not break when the
fruit is packod. The clusters, when
properly "cured," are peeked in boxes,
usually of three or five pounds each.
The bottom of the box is opened, the
larger clusters !aid in carefully, and
smaller bunches packed in upon them
in such a manner that it will require a
modentte pressure to bring the Dover
(or, properly, the bottom), of the box
to its place, where it is nailed down.
The pressure used is such that when the
top of the box is opened, the grapes
next to it are found to be somewhat
flattened. The fruit must be premed in
such a manner that it cannot shake in
travel, and this can onlybe done with
grapes the akin of whichas been tough-
ened by being properly cared. If clus-
ters were placed in the box u they come
from the vines; and subjected to the
needed pressure, the skin would crack
around the stems, liberating the juice,
and the whole would soon pep into de-
cay. Towards Christmas and New
Year's many tons of the varieties we
have named come to the New York
market in excellent condition. New
varieties of grapes, of great excellence,
have recently been introduced, but we
have yet to learn as to their keeping
qualities. With the Concord and rela-
ted varieties, the skin is too tender
to allow of long keeping, and it does not
seem to toughen ill the curing process.
Still, with these, the season for home
use may be considerably prolonged. The
late Mr, Knox found that he could
keep the Concord for sometime by plac-
ing the thotoughly ripened clusters in
baskets or boxes, with the leaves of the
vine below and between them. We do
not know how long this will' keep these
grapes, but we saw some in excellar.t
condition several weeks after the harvest
was over. Those who set grape-vinoe
should be aware that no one variety will
meet every requirement, and that the
earlier the variety, the lees likely it will
be to keep.—[American,Agrioulturiat.
Helmholtz showed that • wave of
thought would require about a snouts to
traverse a mile of nerve, and Hirsch
found that a touch on the face was recog-
nized by the brain, and responded to by
a manual signal, in the seventh of a se-
cond. He also found that the speed of
sense differed for different organs, the
sense of hearing being responded to in a
sixth of a second ; while that of sight
required only one-fifth of a second to be
felt and signalled. In all these cases the
distance traversed wu about the same,
so the inference is that images travel
more slowly than sounds or touch. It
still remained, however, to show the por-
tion of this interval taken up by the ac-
tion of the brain. Professor Donders by
very delicate apparatus has demonstrated
this to beabout the seventy-five thousand
of a second. of the whole interval forty
thousandths are occupied in the simple
act of recognition, and thirty-five thous-
ankths for the act of willing a response.
When two irritants were caused to oper-
ate -6n the same sense one twenty-tifth of
a Second was required for the person to
recognize which was the first ; but a
slightly longer interval was required te
determine the priority in the case of the
other senses. These results were ob-
tained from a middle-aged mai, but in
youths the mental operations aro some-
what quicker than in the adult, The
average of many experiments proved that
a simple thought occupies one -fortieth of
a second.
