What you May and May not call a Man. There is more or less of the animal about man; that nobody will deny. Plato's definition of a man was :-- ¢ An ammal without feathers, 'walk: ing on two legs' This was too much for Diogenes, who caught an old rovster, plucked it, took it into school, and scornfully asketl "if it was Plato's man ?

Its What You Spend. 'Is what thee'll spend, my son) suid a sage old Qnaker, 'not what thee muke, which will decide whethi thee's rich or mot." The advice wa- trite, remarks the Philadelphia Led- ger, for it wus but Franklin's in another shape:--*Take care of the pennies, aud the pounds will take care of themselves. . But it cannot be too often repeated Men are continually indulging in small expenses, saying to themselves that it's only a trifle, yet forgetting that the aggregate is serious, that the seashore is made up of petty grains of sand. Ten cents a day, even, is $36.50 a year, and that is the interest of a Capital of $600.-- The man who saves ten cents a day is so much richer than he who does not, as if he owned a life estate in a house worth $600. Every 16 ycars, 10 cents a day becomes $600; and if 'invested quarterly d. es not take half that time. But ten cents a day is child's play, sens will exclaim.-- Well, then, John Jacob Astor used to say that when a man who wishes to be rich had saved $10,000, he has won half the battle. Not that Astor thought $10 000 much; but hie knew that in making such a sum, a wan acquired habits of prudent economy, which would constantly keep him advancing in wealth, How many, however, spend 10,000 iu a few years in expenses, and when, on locking back, cannot tell, as they say, where thé money went to.

Scientific Daring. One dull day in autumn, just after noon, a balloon rose in the air at the foot of Cleet Hills, on the western edge of the central plain of England. to gasses which chemical skill could produce, and it ruse with amazing to | velocity. A mile up and it entered at thousand feet thick. Emerging from the ring above, thing, and consumption sweeps off It was inflated with the lightest of a stratum of clouds more than a this, the sun shone brightly on the air ship; the sky oveihead was of the lay clondland, an immensurable ex-- panse of cloud, whose surface looked as solid as tilt of the earth now wholly lust to view, Lofty moun- tains and deep dark ravines appeared tet their tiny drops. asound him; hejbelows-the peaks und sides of those qgud du nthins next the sun glitter ed'Itke sow, but casting shadows as black as if thoy were solid rock. Up rose the balloon with tremendous velocity. Four miles above earth a pigeon was let locse; it dropped down through the air as if it hud been a stone, The air was to thin to enable ittofly It wasas ifa bark laden to the deck were ta pass from the heavy waters of the seo an inland unsaline luke, the bark would sink at ounce in the thinner water. Up, up, still higher I The spectrum when opposed to the sun showed marvelously clear; lines appeared which are invisible in the denser atmosphere on the earth's surface; but as the car swung round on its gyrating upward flight, the moment tlie direct rays of the sun passed off the prism there was no spectrm at all. The air was so pure, eo free from the comparatively solid aqueous matter that there 'was no reflection of light; the air was too thin to retain or reflect any portions of the rays which fell upon it. And what a silence profound! The heights of sky were as still as the deepest dzpths of the occan, where, as was found during the search for the lost Atlantic cable, the fine mnd lies as unstirred from year to year as the dust which imperceptibly gathers on the furniture of a deserted house. No sound, no life--only the bright sunshine falling through a sky which it could not warm. Up--five miles above earth ! high- er than the inaccessable summit of Cliimborazo or Dawangiri. Doapite tie sunshine, everything freezes The air grows toc thin to support life, even for a few minutes, Two men only are in that adventurous balloon, the one steering the air ship, the other watching the scientific in- struments, and recording them with a rapidity of long practice. Suddenly as the lattér looks at his instruments his sight grows dim; he takes a lens to help his sight, and only marks from the falling barometer, that they are still raising rapidly. A flask ol brandy lies within a foot of Lim; he tries to reach it, but Lis arms refuse to obey his will, He tries to call his comrade who has gone up into sound comes from his lipg--he is voiceless. His head droops on his shoulders, with an effort he raises it--it fall on the other shoulder; once more with a resolute effort he raises it--it falls backward. For a moment he secs dimly the figure of his com- rade in the ring above; then sensa- tion f.ils him--he lies back, uncon- scious. Some minutes pass--the balloon still rising upwards. Seven miles above earth | The steersman comes down into the car; he sees his comrade in a swoon and feels his own senses failing him. He saw at once that life or death hung vpon a few moments. The balloon was still rising rapidly ; it must be made to descend at once, or they were both dead men. He seized, or tried to seize the valve, in order to open it and let out a portion of the gas. His hands age purple with in- tense cold --they . they will not respond to his will, It was a fearful moment, In another minute in their upward flight, he would be senseless as his comrade. But he was a bold, self-possessed man, train ed in a hundred balloon ascents and ready for every emergency. He scized the valve with his teeth; it apened a little--once, twice, thrice. The balloon began to descend Then the swooned marksman heard a voice calling to him * come take an obser- vation--try,! He heard as ina dream, but 'could neither --see nor move. Again he heard in firmer and more commanding tones, * take an observation--now try.) He re- turned to consciousness, and saw the steersman standing before him. He lo ked at his instrument; they must have heen nearly 8 miles up; but now the barometer was rising rapidly--- the balloon was descending. Brandy was used. They had been ligher above earth than mortal man or any living thing has ever been before. But now they were safe, : Such are the perils which science demands of her votaries, and which they encounter bravely 'and cheer-- fully. Such was the memorable bal- loon ascent of Messrs.

How far would it have ascended with its lifeless freight; how long it would have floated all unseen in the empyrean, who shall say?--Once a Great vices are the proper objects of our detestation, smaller faults of our pity, but affectation appears to be the ouly true source of the ridi- As before swift ships there swims a hill of water, and a corresponding one glides along behind, so always before us is a mountain which we| hope to climb, and behind us still a deep valley out of which we have -- Maxims for Young Ladies.

Go To Steep Earry.--Many chil- dren, instead of being plump and. fresh as a peach, are as withered and wrinkled as last year's apples, be- cause they do not sleep enough.-- Some physicians think that the bones only grow during sleep.' - This I can- not say certainly; but Idoknow that those little folks who sit up late at nights are usually nervous, weak, smal! and sick'y. The reason why you need more sleep than your pa- rents is because you have to grow and they do not. They can use up the food they eat in thinking, talking and working, wkile you should save some of yours for growing. You ought to sleep a great deal. ' If you do not, yoy will in activity consume all you eat, and have none or not enough to grow with. Very few smart children excel, or even equal, other people wien they grow up.-- Why is this? Because their heads, if not their bodies, are kept too busy; so they cannot sleep, rest, aud grow strong in y and mind, Now, when your mother says, Guy or Lulu, or whatever your name may be, it is time to go to bed ber, remembering that you have a great deal of sleeping and growing to do to make' you a healthy, happy, useful maa or womaa. 3 Be Kinn,--Kinduess is one of the most Heaven born accomplishments that humanity can acquire. How truthful did the wise man--Solomon --say, that "a kind word turneth away wrath, but greovous words stir up anger." Are you disconsolate, heartbroken, plodding along life's wearisome pathway, how mollifying to the troubled spirit is the radiation of a meek and amiable countenance-- love beaming from the gentle eye-- the hallowed smile playing upon the ruby lip, but above and transcending all is a Kind Word! Kind words and kind acts are more fragrant than the spices of Arabia--more precious than the ointment that van down Aaron's beard, und more to be prized than the gold of Ophir. Then, be kind. -- To whom? to all; first to mother, if she still lingers on the shores of time, to bless and restrain you. A kind act, a kind word, a kind thought--to do, to say, or restrain the reverse, ---will deck your brow with a crown of good opinions from the world. It will be a sound of joy to yourself as you are accomplising your tedious journey through life, aud will bestow untold blessings on all with whom you may have to do. Then let me close this wy first effort, with the affectionate admonition---Be Kino. To Keer Burrer Coor.--Place a cake of butter in a saucer; and set it upon a common dinner plate. Pour the plate full of water, but not high enough to run into thé saucer, and place over the butter a common por-- ous flower pot which is just large enough to surround the saucer and stand in the watet. If the flower- pot has a hole iv the bottom, close it with a cork. Set it all in a cool tplace, and occasionally drench the whole with cold water, If it is ar- ranged in the morning, and properly attended to during the day, the but- ter for tea will be nearly as firm as if kept in an ice house. If the flower pot be wrapped with a cloth, it will be still better. ------. Time wears slippers of list, and his tread is noiseless, The days come softly dawnirg one after another, creeping in at the windows, their fresh morning air so \grateful to the lips as they pant for it, their musie so sweet to the ears of those who listen to it, until, before we know is, a whole life of days has ession uf the citadel, and Time taken us for bis own. : Misery assails riches as lightning does the highest towers.
