Tbe reason. the, wild Indian is as eruel as the lion, is because ha has food that gives bun the• blood of the lion.; A misslionary among. the Indians says that, by changing his style of food to correspond withr theirs., his tempera- ment was entirely changed. There are certain forms. of teed that bave a tendency to affect the moral nature. Many a Christian Is trying Ito do by prayer that whioh cannot be done exe cept through corrected, diet. For in- stance, he who uses swine's flesh fore constant diet will be diseased in bedy and polluted of soul—all his liturgies and catechisms notwithstanding. The Gadarene swine were possessed of the devil, and ,ran down a steep place in- to the sea, and all the swine .ever seam seem to have been similarly possessed. In Leviticus„ God struck this meat off the table of the Jew, and peaceel before bine a bill of fare at atee healthful, nutritious, and generous. But, hIgher than this physical rea- son, there' was a spiritual reason why God chose certain forms of fetid for tee aews. God; gave a peouliar diet. to His people, not only because He wane - ed theme -to be distingioished from the ourrounding nations, but because cer- tain birds and. animals, ey reason of their habits, have always. been. sug- gestive of moral qualities. By the list in from which they were to ah - n, God, wished to prejudice their minds against eertaln evils; and in the. list, of la.wful things givet, lie wished to suggest certain forma of good., When God, solemnly forbade His people to eat the owl, the vulture, the bat, the chameleon, and the suit, He meant ao drive oat of His, people all the ems tbat were. thus emblemiz- ed. I take the suggestion of the teal and; say, that one of the first unclean things the Christian needs. to drive out of his soul as the . owl. The owl is' the, melancholy aird of night, It hatches out whole broods of superstia tion. IT IS DOLEFUL AND HIDEOUS. Whe.n itt sings it sings through its nose. It loves the gloom of niglit better than the brightness of the day. Who has not, slept en the cabint near the woods, and been awakened in the night; by; the dismal "too hoo" a the owl. Melanaholy is the owl that es perched in many a Christian soul. et is are unwean bird, and needs- to be driven away. A man whose sins are pardoned, and who is 'on the roa,d to teaven, has no right to be gloomy: He says "I have so many doubts." That is 'because "you are lazy." Go aetively to work in Christ's cause, and your doubts wilt vanish. You say, al have leen my property," but I reply you have, infinite treasures laid up in heaven. Yora say, "I ant weak and sickly, and going to die." Then be congrhettlated that you are so near eternal health and perpetual' gladness. Catch a few Morning larks for your soul, and stone this owl aff yoar pre- mises.

Cheerfulness; it makes the homely face handsome; it ;makes the fishing, he does not care what school the fish belongs to, wbetber it is a Presbyterian mackerel or an Episco- palian salmon.

One could wish that those who negiece their duty of properly and- efficiently nourishing their own b.odies would. study the statistics. ot intio.nita and its increase among us. The old Latin proverb tells ns that our aim should be to keep a sound mind in a sound body. "Drink and hurry and worry fiend most of the men to an asylum," says a doctor, "while love affairs, combin- ed with lack of food, throw most of tbe women off their balance." The love affairs, would have but little influence over them if they were preprly fed; but among the illusions in wbieh girls and women indulge is that, as they care little about their food, so the leek of it cannot. have much effect up- on them. They rather despise ;nen for being careful to have regular meals, whether business presses or noe, and are inclined to vaunt their own superiority in suoh respects. But it this disregard of the natural in- stincts of honger leads us in the same path as "drink and hurry and worry" lead men, and if we are to be humiliat- ed by hyper -sensitiveness. in love ef- fairs, how pre-eminently does lulu, common sense stand out in the mat- ter.

"BY all means,' it ran, "supply the guns to the Boers' direcle" for if you do not sell to them, they will undoubtedly manage to get what they want acme - how or other." SECRET Ole LEADERSHIP. There are certain qualities existing in some people that defy analysis. The talent for euccess, for instance, cannot be (Wined, and yet it N well known that certain individuals possess it, while others do not. It not depend- ent, apparently, on any particular abil- ity or virtue. Cleverness will not in- sure it. Perseverance, thrift and in- dustry, although tbey may help, can- not &eat° it—ts is ease a giit like the genius for writing or painting, or anything else. It is given to the few, and withheld from the litany. The talent for leadersnip is anoth- er one of these mysteriou attributes for which the why and the wherefore cannot be discovered. What consti-' Lutes a leader is as impossible to ex- plain as to find the keyt to the secret ot neon. Bven at echool some one boy or girl witl obtain this prominence, although there may be others appar- cells equally well or even better fit- ted to hold the position. In later life people submit meekly to "bosses" of every description—political, social, or .inancial—wondering at while not de.. :lying their power. "Why is it," asked a society wo- man from another city the other day, "that Mrs. Z. has obtained so much ascendancy over you 011 Granted that sbe is weli born and, is rich, but so are a. sore or m.ore of others. There seems really no adequate reason for it, yet you have put her up on a pe- destal and bow down before her, You all are just as pleased and flattered by ber notice as it she were royalty, She is evidently a born Nader, but how does she do it 1" There is no power like this subtle power of leadership which is dependent upon no favor and yields no submis- sion; but how it originated and why t is granted to certain individuals is one ot the conundrums that forever re.. mains unanswered. • GOBLET OR TUMDLERS.
