The benefits of rest in aiding the he l- ing process in diseases might be exe plitied in a hundred different ways. deed, the disease itself is often mere y the result of disobedience, often wilf 1, of the great natural and universal la which ordains that a --period of rest mu 't in every case be sequel to one of aetiv ty.

I always look upon a tree as a thing not only of life—that we all kno it is --but a thing of feeling. Tho e lordly poplars, yonder, forinstance, no v (featly waving their tall arms and the r , wealth of quivering leaves to and fro in* the sunlight,, have neither thought nor voluntary motion, but a pleasant sensa- tion of warmth I have not -the slightest doubt they possess.

Two or -three illustrations that came under his own observation are quoted as ex- amples : 'Vs well -applied prOverb is often as humorous as anything. I remember once walking through I some fields with an eminent divine of • the Evangelical school upon a Sunday evening. Our conversation was sober (befitting the day,) when we came upon a middle-aged, gray -suited man of earnest, judicial, I had almost said episcp?,1, aspect. He was sitting upon the grass and eying a gate, as if he were composing a charge or an address to confirmation candidates. His posture so excited our curiosity that we iisquired if all was I right with him. He slowly raised his hand, made a Mil- itary salute, and said, ," Gentlemen, all is as I could wish it to be." My com- panion could not get it out of his head that the man must be ill, so to oblige him I went back. I fund my judicial friend had risen, and was walking with very undulating steps along the path- way, and, by his English reel, was only too evidently in liquor, I followed him for some „way, until he l fell into a dry ditch, where 1 naoved aside the long grass, and discovered: him asleep. I shook him awake,, and -offered to take him home. He made no reply brit "Sirrr ! Your friends I think, is an Eeevangilicle.". Well What of it? Ile I raised his hand With all the didactic dignity of a-coloniallai hop, paused, and finally said, "1 am kind o' that way myself," but , he added with solemt fervor, "A lot of words won't fill a sack, will they ?" I hastily helpecthim home, repeating, as he dici, these words at in- tervals, to enforce hisi theological criti- cism: " A lot of .wcrds won't fill a sack," which I gleefully- repeated to his co -religionist, who for the life of him could see no joke in them. • `f What a safety -valve a joke is ! A Salvationist captain was once going with his band down Commercial Road when fit lenoe'ked the er's mouth. A row suited, but the 'zed, and then his retrograde movem pipe out of a costermon would naturally have -1- umbrellaed one apolo added, "But you know you would have had a chimney on yoar head if You were ever intended to 8'm:die." This gave the costermonger his opportunity. 1 He indignantly demanded " And do 1 you think you was was i tended to walk ba,cls'ards? The Alnighty would • screwed yer feet roil d if yer was." Thus the need of more carnal alterca- tion was saved. ; 1 "Scoundrels are nearly always amus- ing. I iately had two in my rooms. Both were men of advanced .ethical views, but neither knew that the other was a brother scamp. I introduced them one to another, and went out to slay a fatted calf for their entertain- ment. When I came back I found con- versation was upon high moral subjects, and they were gravely advising one another upon the higher life, each mis- taking the other for one of its votaries. • How_ to Choose a'Wife.- "How to choose a wife," was the title'ef a sermon delivered by Dr. Tal- mage, the other Sunday morning in, the Brooklyn Tabernacle, the advice Of Samson's fathertand mother to the giant when infatuated With the daughter of one of the uncircumcised Philistines, being selected for his text. Women are ...new seventy five per cent better than ever they. were. Good and true women were never So numerous as they are to -day. The women of this country are -better educated than the men, and, if -things go on in the same ratio; it will be difficult ter. the men to find enough ignorance in the opposite .sex to make an appropriate consort," began the preach- er. It id said the ladies of the congiea gatien smiled and looked upon each other complacently as the words of the Brooklyn sage fell upon their ear,but later on -id his sermon it wa,sn .the me who chiey. did thelaughing. To -quote from the racy discourse. "Martin Far- quhar Tupper,t_the poet, recommended men -to pray and seek divine guidance before they chose a wife. He and all people who -advised the same thing were laughed. at when they said 'this. Many of thosewho laughed then are laughing now on the other side of their mouth. (Laughter) -Sonia good and wise -men have wrecked their lives by this neglect -Witness the *an of this text.. Then there was John Wesley—as good_a man as everflived:—chained to a woman wlho did all she could to destroy his influence, and, sat in City Road Chapel making mouths at him while he preached. Then there are women who are scolds and look . on you like- a March ntwtheaster. (Laughter.) .Then there are the opium eating womena-400,000 of them in America to -day -2. --who will have their drug although it costs thern. the greatest treasure of their household. I. urge yeti to ask divine guidance, because society is full of artificiality. After her clresii- maker, her hair adjuster, her jeweler, and other mysterious agencies have transformed a woman, how can an un- sophisticated man discern the real mean- ing of these phyeielogical hieroglyphics? (Loud laughter.) Men are by these means swindled ;• they make a bargain from a sample, And when the goods come to be delivered they find they are not equal to the sample. * (Giggling laugh- ter.) They . marry a _sweet -tempered • woman, as they suppose, and she tures, out to be a JeZebel ; they marry a we - man as meek, apparently, as the sainted Mary, and . they get a. Lucretia Borgia when they thought they had a Martha Washington. (More laughter.) I care not for sueli women or the richness of their upholstery, . for 1 will tell them they are not as honest as the Cyprians on the street, for these latter . advertise their infamy, hut the former profess heaven when they mean hell. May I not, therefore, .ask you to. seek divine guidance before you choose a wife for there is no .worse Predicament on earth than to be unequally yoked together. "Adam. .had not e. 14rge number to select a wife from, and, judging froni the mistakes he made, I'm glad he was lim- ited to Eve or none. If you take the divine direction you will make no take. A great 'deal has been said about woman being taken fromthe ribs of Adam. But there are twenty-four ribs: and there are twenty-three possibilities to one that you will get the wrong rib. (Roars of laughter.) John Milton; the poet, who was ,blind, was told that his wife was a rose, and he replied, "1 am net much of a judge of color, butl think it is very likely so, for I feel the .thorn.' (Laughter.) Look at Solomon, whose Married life was as unhappy as it was multitudinous, and among the wise ob- aervations of,his experience in this Mat- ter is this: ',A continual dropping bn a very rainy days and a contentious wo- man are alike. "11 in this matter you make no Mit- take you will have two heavens, one here below and One hereafter; but if. you do make ,a mistake you have tivo hells, .One here and one hereafter." Fly's. Toilet. ; The toilet of a fly is as carefully, at- tended toas that of the most *.frivolous of hutnad. beings. Resting himself on hiSfrent and middle legs, he throws his hind'legs rapidly over his body, binding down his wings for an instant withs the pressure, then raking them over with a 'backward ;notion, which he repeats till they are bright and ' clear. Then he pushetthe two legs along his body under the 'wings, giving it a thorough curry- ing, eyery now and then -throwing the legs out. and rubbing them togethet to remone what lie has collected from his corpoteal surface.* Next resting on his • hiad and iniddle legs, he raises his two fore lipgs, and:begins a vigorous scraping of his bows mac. he is were ltrying to plain, even to does his work t has firshed.he head and shoulders, using his pro- eyerY little while to push the lotion from his limbs.
