Man is so const itnted by nature that it is, necessary for him to lmve Bensons of solitude, in which to re flect and meditate, seasons in which lie can oomnmue with his own heart, and hold sweet converse with his own thoughts. Men need often thus to retire with in themselves; shut to the door, and consider the varied anil numerous subjects of life, und solve the mai y problems which arise in their path- ray. “Midnight is often the noon of f thought,” «o meditation is tho moment of strength and power. Then the mind fortities it ell with truth; entrenches itself in its convic tions, and neeemhleB a host of thoughts to its aid. The creative energy is active in storing the mind with material, the combining and uniting power marshals into compa nies anil battalions kindred ideas. The analysing faculty looks deeply for the germs of thought and the se crets of the hidden. In short, the whole mind with all its energies is in full and powerful action. We claim that this solitude is not only advantageous but absolutely is- sential, in order to fullil the rch promise of our manhood and achieve the grand purpose of God in our cre ation. We do not in th is oppose the free and legitimate working of the social principle. Indeed, . we hold that man can only reap tho full benefit of society by the means of solitude. A. nmn must needs often entertain himself, if he would profitably enter tain others. Men fritter away their minds who are much in society und and s«ldom indulge in reflection. Their thoughts are merely surfuev thoughts, their mind like a shot gun, scatters its shot, which is effective only at short range and for •mall game. This mind is wasting itself in words. It is exhausting itself. The ability to think deeply and for cibly is being lost. Its trafllc in thought resembles the retail mer chant; his stock is small, consequent ly Ins sales are small, and he must turn over his stock frequently to keep up business. There is no appear- anoe of reserve power about such a man. Healthy, wholesome thinking has well nigh ceused. A mental dis ease ruinous in its results has taken hold’of him. Solitude io tho boot wnoilicine for tho loquacious person. Rost the tongue awhile and think. Flippancy at best ie but a depre ciated currency. Solid thought is the gold whose influence is felt in the commerce of minds. We do not condemn the Hiuall talk of life. Rut the exclusive indulgence in it, prac ticed by many persons. They have often a set of words which constant use has rendered threadbare. All their freshness nnd power has long since departed* the good spirit which once animated them basiled. They have \vini a pathway across I the stag** o| un-jell hy their much acting m public. They have some grace, but no enthusiasm. These persons, err if they think society de mands only the pleasantries they dis pense. Society demands intellectual food as well us pastry. And lie mis understands the nature of the mind who thinks it-cannot enjoy the Rub- stantiuls as well as the confectiona ries of thought Men of culture do not talk themselves out about the weather, the last marriage or similar; frivolities. They find genuine pleas ure in the consideration of impor tant and valuable subjects, upon Which they have reflected. These men are the benefactors o( their race, und exercise a controling influence oyer others. They are emphatically the leaders of public opinion. Thus men arc known by their thoughts. An individuals ideas express his char acter. Aud lie only, who thinks much and often, can possess a strong, vigorous individuality. Now, to think requires time, and solitude affords the best opportunity for thinking. Hence it becomes the duty of all, who desire the best gift f life, a mind stored with well di gested knowledge and the ability to use it, to indulge in solitary reflec Experience all tho while will hr guiding you into rich fluids of knowledge, where yon can reap the ripe fruits of thought; and feeding this, you will grow in culture, he ihlished in all tlmt is true, wise and good and be built up in your manhood. Reflex. Chi Charles Lamb's Warning. Lamb tells him said ri ng men, peri nee, ns a warning t- in the following langHuge: “The waters have gone over me; but. out of the black dept; s, could I he heard, I would cry out to all those who have set a fool in the perilous flood. Could the youth, to whom the flavor of the first wine is delicious as the opening scenes of life, or the entering upon somo newly discover ed paradise, look into my desolation and he made to understand what a dreary tiling it is—when he shall feel himself going down a precipice with open eyes and a passive will; to see Ins distraction andhave no power to stop it, and yet feel it all the way emanting from himseif; to see all godliness emptied out of him, and yet not he able to forget a time when it. was otherwise, to hear about tho pit eons spectacle of his own ruin could ; hf see my levered eye—feverish with last nightVdrinking, aud feverishly looking for to-night’s repetition of the lolly; could he but feel the body of the death out of which I cry hour ly with feeble outcry to he delivered, it were enough to make him dash the sparkling beverage to the earth, in all the pride of its muntling tenilu* tion.” A Romanco in Real Life. About the year 1830 there lived in the village of Ellon, near Aberdeen, Scotland, a young shnetnuker doing a prosperous business. He married and during the first four years a son and daughter were born.* About the end of those four years, for somo canto unknown, tho hus band and wife mutually agreed to separate, the father to take the son and the mother the daughter. The next year the daughter died, lu the meantime th« father and son flailed for America and settled in Canada, the father working at vari ous occiipiui <n6, afoircii instance* ml* milted. About the year 1S50 lie received word fr*>m Scotland tlmt his wife had died. From this time all cor respondence with friends in Scotland, which had been previously kept up, ceased. The sou having grown to manhood with the impression that his mother Imd dual when he was about one-anil a*lmlf years old, entered the profes sion of school teacher in the neigh borhood of Toronto, where about the year 1800, he married. The father, believing that his for mer partner in life had been dead about eleven years, and since the son had married, he felt lonesome and took unto himself a second wife. The son, after teaching about ten veals left the profession on account of ill-health, for more active duties, : and finally located himself in Essex. I The father and step-mother still lived ' in Toronto. In the summer of 1877 the f. thor came to make his son a visit in Es sex, and died suddenly of iuflumnm- ! tion at his sou’s residence. After the f.'.thor’a death the son, I anxious to find out about the exist-; once of a brother of his father’s whom ; he Imd reason to believe was still' alive in Europe, instituted an ex ten-1 sivc and thorough correspondence ' with various parties in Scotland, aud strange to say, he found that his own I mother was still alive, and leading a retired life in Scotland. The son is now making all the | necessary arrangements for bringing j his aged mother to Essex. The Little Staler.

[New Bedford (M*-h.) Mercury.] WhereRoligion Failed In The Hour of Reed. At night old Gumbo was accus tomed to retire to his lonely cabin, to light Ins tallow candle and pore over a dog-eared, dilapidated Bible, and as he read, lie would at brief inter vals pause and devoutly exclaim with tearful, upraised eyes: “Oh! cum de good angel oh do Lor’ an’ take poor Gumbo home to roat.” It hap pened on a dark night, when hy the light ol his tallow dip, he was intent ly studying his Bible, there come e solumn, measured raps on the cabin door. Gumbo heard und grew pale with fear, and immediately, with u spasmodic jerk, blew out the light and demanded to know; “Who am dat ar knockin’ at die ’ere deor?” when a dismal, sepulchial voice an swered: “The good angle of the Lord has come to take poor Gumbo up to rest.” When trembly, with perstitious fear, believing tlmt the good angel of the Lord was really standing at tho door, he answers: “I kuo’s dat nigguh Gumbo, hut dat ah nigguh don’t lib heuh! Why, dat ar Gumbo am jes dun gone ded dese fo’years! Yes, beam! He jus dun gone ded dese fo’ years!” Those Who Live in Glass Houses, etc.—The proverb, “Those who live in glass houses should not. throw stones,” dates back to the un ion of England and Scotland, at which time London was inundated with Scotchmen. This did not please the Duke of Rockingham, who organized a movement against them, and parties formed, who went about nightly to break their windows. In retaliation, a party of Scotchmen smashed the windows of the Duke’s mansion, which stood in St. Martin’s Fields, and had so many wiudows that it went, hy the name of the Glass House. Tfle Duke appealed to the King, who replied: “Steenie, Steenie, thc&e who live in glass houses should bp-careful’now they fling stones.”— [Chamber’s Journal. The Superb Crop of 1877.
