It seemed to meas if I were seated by a calm, deep lake, surrounded by graceful and breezy shrubbery, and lisv‘ ening to 'most‘ delicious muSio. The landscape differed from anything I had ever seen. Light seemed to be in every- thing, and emenate from everything, like a. glory, Yet I felt at home 3 and could I see a painting of it, I should know it as readily-as the scenes of my childhood. And so it is with a multitude of thoughts that come suddenly into the soul, new. as 'visitants from farthest Saturn; yet familiar as a mother’s voice. Whence do they come 'I, Is Plato’s sugâ€" gestion something more than poetry? Have we, indeed formerly lived in -a luminous ' and shadowless world, where all things wear like a garment? And are our bright and beautiful thoughts but casual glimpses of that former state 1 Are all our hopes and aspirations noth- ing but recollections? Is it to the frag- ments of memory’s broken mirror we owe the thousand fantastic forms of grandeur and loveliness which fancy calls her own? And the gifted ones who now and then blaze upon the world, and “ darken nations when they die,” do they differ from other mortals in more cloudless reminiscences of their heavenly home? Or are we living separate existences at one and the same time. Are not our souls wandering in the Spirit land, while our bodies are on earth? And when in slumber, or deep quietude of thought, we cast off this “ mortal coil,” do we not gather up images of reality, that seem to us like poetry ! Might not the restless spirit of Byron have indeed learned of “archangels ruined,” whose potent words, which, like infernal magic, arouse every sleeping demon in the human heart ? Are dreams merely Visits to our spirit home ; and are we in sleep really talking with the soul of those whose voice we seem to hear? As death approaches and earth re- cedes, do we not more clearly see that spiritual world, in which we have all along been living, though we know it not. The dying man tells us of attend- ant angels hovering round him. Per- chance it is no vision. They might hairs often been with him, but his inward eye was dim, and he saw them not. What is that mysterious expression, so holy and so strange, so beautiful, yet so fearful, on the countenance of one Whose soul has just departed? Is it the glorious light of attendant seruphs, the luminous shadow of which rests awhile on the countenance of the dead? Does infancy owe to this angel crowd its peculiar power to purify and bless? A young gentleman was frequently cautioned by his father to vote for “ measures, not men.” He promised to to do so, and soon after received a bonus to vote for Mr. Peck. His father, as- tonished at his voting for a. man whom he deemed objectionable, inquired his reasons for so doing. “Surely, father,” said the youth, “ you told me to vote for measures, and if Peck is not a measure, I don’t know what it is.” have slain 31‘ MRS.

But While .we' see and bear with the faults of our friends, we are to be careful about'the'sssumption of superiority which [is implied inxthis- â€"â€"â€"a._sort of supercilious, patronizing en- durance. The 'cond'é‘scen'sion' of good people in putting up with one’s faults, especially when weere in the habit of daily' intercourse with them, is someâ€" times almOst intolerable. What right have I, even‘in my’ inmost thought, to assume this attitudeBi‘ superiority'o'ver my friend or ‘associete?

A. half-pint in the morning on rising and a Iml?‘~pint on going to bed- was the common‘dose. In those days it wag; almost. as common to call for a- glass ofi tar water ina coffee house as a dish of tea or coffee. Bishop Birkelley yethliflwd a. work “Oakthe vintues of 'i‘u'r “rater,” and It was not only regarded as 9. soverâ€" eign remedy for many graVe diseases among men, but was much used in treat- ing the diseases of horses and cattle. “ I never knew,” says Bishop Birke- ley, “anything so good for the stomach as tar water; it cures indigestion and‘ gives a good appetite. I It is an excelâ€" lent medicine in an asthma. It imparts a kindly warmth and quick circulation to the juices, without heating, and is, therefore, useful not only as a pectoral and balsamic, but also as a. powerful and safe deobstruent in cachetic and hys- teric cases. As it is both heating and diuretic, it’ is very good for the gravel. I believe it to be of great use in dropsy, having known it to cure a very bad anasarca in a person whose thirst, though Very extraordinary, ,was in a short time removed by the drinking of tar water.” ‘ ‘ The Bishop published his great work “ Siris, or a. Chain of Philosophical Re- flections and Enquiries concerning the Virtues of Tat Water,” in the year 1784. Notwithstanding the opposition ant] ridicul of physicians, philosophers and men of science, tar water had an enor- mous success. One need not speak of the mourning of the heartâ€"~tlr1t will take care of itself. I speak of the external signs. There is a strange diffâ€"trence among the nations, Among several of the most advanced people, black dress has been chosen. The great expense, the depres- sing influence upon the spirits, and the bad effect of this color upon the bodily conditions, have been observed and urged against the method of this display. Black is the worst color for Winter and for summer, for dry weather and for a damp atmosphere. Altogether, the custom of announcing grief through black clothes seems to be the worst method ever devised. ’ It. is gratifying to hear from intelli- gent people, as one may not unfre- quently, that under no circumstances would they disialay a mourning dress. I will not say that it is a flat contradic- tion of the Christian faith. I will not say that it savors of ostentation.

The temper of men depends largely upon their hitewledge. Ignorance renders them suspicious. A farmer who does not read the papers, who does not study the markets, is likely to be suspicious of whoever ofi'ers him a price for his products, and his igno- rance and suspicion combined are‘ quite likely to lead to an excess of credulity when once throw-n off his guard. This is the fruit of isolation. It is quite as necessary to the farmer to meet, talk, and consult with Inc!) of his own profession, as well as those employed in other av'ocations, as that he should plough and sew, ifhe would be successful. The friction which intercourse gives rubs ofi the mould and rust accumulated by isolationâ€" gives him new ideas, which propa- gate others for his brethren’s use. Hence the meeting of farmers, even if nowhere else than at the postroflice or corner grocery, is not to be con- demned; nor is the time spent in such intercourse, if it does not beget vicious habits, ill spent. It is to be commended ratherâ€"New York World. ' PURGATIVE PILLS have become a set- tled necessity with the American people.

But if you want to know the luxury of cold water, get drunk, and keep at it until you get on fire, and then try a. bucketful at the well in the middle of the night. You won’t want a gourd fullâ€"you’ll feel like ‘ the bucket ain’t big enough, and when you begin to drink an earthquake couldn’t stop you. I know a hundred men who will swear to the truth of what I say; but yon see it’s a thing they don’t want to talk aboutâ€"it’s too humiliating. The London Engineer states that the highest railway speeds in the world are attained in England, and that the highest is reached on the Great Western Railroad, the speed on the latter being given roundly as -fy miles an hour. Instances are given, however, of sixtyâ€"live 0r seventy miles an hour, and the Engi« near believes that it would be possible to lay pei'm5-zne'mt way so well, and to maintain it in such excellent order. that trains might travel on it with perfect safety at one hundred miles an hourâ€"indeed, miles and miles of such tracks are now to he found on most of the great main lines, but noâ€" where an one hundred eonsneuti \( miles of permanent way in perfection be found; and, as a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, so a few hundred yards of bad track would spoil, for the purpose of travelling one hundred miles an hour, a whole line. The really important question, argues the Engineer, is, given the line and the ears fit for it, what shall the engine be like, and is 1t possible to construct an engine at all which, with a moderately heavy train, will attain and maintain a velocity of one hundred miles an hour, on a line with no grade heavier than, say, one in three hundred. After a thorough examination of the question in all its bearings, the Engineer’s figures prove thth it is absolutely impossible to obâ€" tain a speed of one hundred miles an hour on railw( y, if resistance is any- thing like one hundred and twenty pounds per ton. There is more fatigue in laziness than labour. THE FASTEST TIME IN THE ‘VORLD ATTAINED IN ENGLAND. ‘iaGood‘ Cold Water. Ly, Run on Banks Railway Speed.

This defect was just on the eve of consignihg him to the plough, were he might work barefoot, when an officer in our eer- vice, lately returned from Mexico, took a cord about the size of a com- mon bedoord, put it in the mouth of the horse like a bit, and tied it tightly on the animal‘s head, passing his left. ear under the string, not painfully tight, buttight enough to keep the ear down and the cord in its place. This done, he patted thehorse gently on the side [of the head, and com- manded him' to follow,jand instantly the horse obeyed, , perfectly subdued, and as gentle and obedient as a well- trained clog, suffering his feet to be lifted with impunity, and acting in all respects like an old stager. The gentleman who thus furnished this exceedingly simple means of ,subdu- ing a very dangerous propensity, in. timated that it is practiced in Mexico and South'America in the manage- ment of Wild horses.
