An English periodical gives its readers some good hints on how to conduct a diary or journal. It begins by saying: “Autumn is as good a time as any to begin to keep a journal* and as we are now near the close of the year it is appropriate that these hints should be repeated. Too many people, old as well as young, have the idea that it is a hard and unprofitable task to keep a journal, and especially is this the case with those who have begun, but soon gave up the experiment. They think it a waste of time, and that no good results from it. But that depends upon the kind of jour nal that you keep. Everybody has has heard of the boy who thought he would try to keep a diary. He bought a book, and wrote in it, for the first day, ‘Decided to keep a journal.’ The next day he wrote,‘Got up, wash ed, and went to bed.’ The day after he wrote the same thing; and no wonder that at the end of the week he wrote, ‘Decided not to keep a jour nal,’ and gave up the experiment. It is such attempts as this, by per sons who have no idea of what a jour nal is, or how to keep it, that discour age others from beginning. But it is not hard to keep a journal if you oegin in the right way, and will use a little perseverance and patience. The time spent in writing in a jour nal is not wasted by any means. It may be the best employed hour of any in the day, and a welNkept jour nal is a source of pleasure and advan tage which more than repays the writer for the time and trouble spent upon it. “The first thing to do in beginning a journal is to resolve to stick to it. Don’t begin and let the poor journal die in a week. A journal, or diary, should be written in every day, if possible. Now, dou’t be frightened at this, for you do a great many things every day, and this is not a very awful conditon. The time spent may be longer or shorter, according to the matter to be witten up: but iry anu write ai icaat muc evci^ day. ‘ Nulla dies sine linea? —no day without a line—is a good motto. It is a great deal easier to write a little every day than to write up several days in one. “Do not get for a journal a book with the dates already printed in it. That kind w ill do very well for a merchant’s note-book, but not for the young man or woman who wants to keep a live, cheerful account of a hap py and pleasant life. Sometimes you will have a picnic or excursion to write about, and will want to fill more space than the printed page al lows. Buy a substantially bound blank-book, made of good paper; write your name aud address plainly on the fly-leaf, and, if you choose, paste a calendar inside the cover. Set down the date at the top of the first page, thus: ‘Tuesday, October 1, 1880.’ Then begin the record of the day, endeavoring, as far as possible, to mention the events in the correct order of time —morning, afternoon and evening. When this is done, write in the middle of the page, ‘Wednesday, October 2,’ and you are ready for the record of the next day. Set down the year at top of each page, “But what are you to write about? First, the weather. Don’t forget this. Write,‘Cold and windy,’ or ‘Warm and bright,’ as the case may be. It takes but a moment, and in a few years you will have a complete record of the weather, which will be found not only curious, but useful. “Then put down the letters you have received or written, and, if you wish, any money paid or received. The day of beginning or leaving school; the studies you pursue; vis its from or to your friends; picnics or sleigh-rides; the bouks you have read ; and all such items of interest should be noted. Write anything you want to remember. After trying this plan a short time you will be sur prised at the many things constantly occurring which you used to over look, but which now form pleasant paragraphs in your book. But don’t try to write -omething when there is nothing to write. If there is only one line to be written, write that, and begih again next day. “The best time to write in a jour nal is in the evening. Keep the book in your table drawer,or on your desk, and after supper, when the lamps are lighted, sit do wd and write your plain account ot the day. Don’t try to write an eloquent article, but simply give a statement of what you have seen or done during the day. For the first week or two after beginning a jour nal, the novelty of the tiling will keep up your interest, and you will be anxious for the time to come when you can write in your journal. But after a while it becomes tedious. Then is the time when you must persevere. Write something every day, and be foie long you will find that you are becoming so accustomed to it that you would not willingly forego it. After that the way is plain, and the longer you live the more valuable and indispensable your journal will become. “But some practical person asks, ‘What is the good of a journal?’ There is very much. In the first place, it teaches habits of order and regularity. The boy or girl who ev ery evening arranges the proceedings of the day in systematic order, and regularly writes them out, is not likely to be careless in other matters. It helps the memory. A person who keeps a journal naturally tries during the day to remember things he 9ees until he can write them down. Then the act of writing helps still further to fix the facts in his memory. The journal is a first class teacher of pen manship. All boys and girls should take pride in having the pages of their journals as neat and handsome as possible. Compare one day’s writ ing with that of the one before, and try to improve every day. “Keeping a journal cultivates hab its of observation, cor; ect and concise expression, and gives capital practice in composition, spelling, punctuation and all the little things which go to make up a good letter writer. So one who keeps ajournal is all the while learning to be a better penman, and a better composer, with the advantage of writing original, historical and de scriptive articles instead of copying toe printed letters and sentences of a writing book. “But, best of all, a well kept jour nal furnishes a continuous and com plete family history, which is always interesting and often very useful. It is sometimes very convenient to have a daily record of the y* ar, arid th*-> young journalist will often have oe easion LO refer to his account of thing* gone oy. Jr* maps some cyt-nu.^ when the family are sitting and talk ing together some one will ask,‘VVhat kind of-weather did we have last winter?’ or,‘When was the picnic you were speaking of? ’ and the jour nal is referred to. A marriage, a death, a birth, an accident, a house burning, a contract, a visit, or some fact which may, by being preserved, save one’s life or reputation, or mon ey, will make the journal very use ful. But the pleasure of keeping a journal is itself no small reward. Ii is pleasant to exercise the faculty of writing history, and to think that you are taking the first step toward writing newspapers and books. The writer can practice on different kinds of style and can make his journal a record, not only of events, but of his own progress as a writer and thinker.” VANDERBILT’S CASH. Some one has made a very curious calculation of what Mr. Vanderbilt could do with his money. Mr. Van derbilt’s income trom his invest ments in four per cent, government bonds is represented at $5,000 daily, which is $408,25 per hour, $5,47 per minute, or over five cents per second. Assuming that he is paid by the sec ond, he cannot possibly spend hi* money, as he oouid not select hi purchases aud lay down his money fast enough. He could not throw i away ; to pick it up, cast, recover and cast again, would take him two seconds, and if he worked all through the twenty-four hours without rest, he could only dispose of one-half ot his income. By living economically, saving up for four years, he couM, placing his five cent pieces side by side, make a nickle belt around the earth, or by converting his savings into one cent pieces and mounting them in a pile, he could, in twenty years, erect a road to the moon and have ¥SOO to invest when he got there. Should his amusement take a chari table twist, he could, out of a year’s receipts, donate to every man, wom an and child in the United States 25 cts. and have money left over. Oth er vast possibilities occur tothegrow ing fancy of the circulator. In one day he could go to 8,000 diflerent cir cuses, eat 10,000 pints of peanuts, drink 5,000 glasses of lemonade, and have money left to get his boo s blacked. He can afford to have 500 000 shirts washed in one day, aid n the day of his death his income w 1 buy ten first-ciass funerals.— Ithaca Journal, THE GENERAL PEACE AND PROSPERITY. New York Journal of Oomaievca. No nation has a monopoly of for tune and misfortune. Every coun try inevitably shares to souk extent in the prosperity and adversity of every other. The most prosperous eras of trade for a country like En gland, for ius+auce, coincide with pe riods of the greatest freedom from war, pestilence and farnino ail over the world. England furnishes the best proof of the interdependence of nations arid their essential solidarity of interests, because she lives by means manufactures and commerce. Every other country i3 her customer, and buys less or more English goods, as the purchaser is sick or well, hun gry or fed, at war or at peace. What is true of England is true in different degrees of the United Srates, France, Germany and every other land. But England, on account of her geograph ical position and her special facilities, illustrates most stikingly the truth we would enforce. The British Board of Trade returns for September tell the story of the world’s prosperity in figures all can understand. England’s gain ia her exports, compared with the corres ponding month last year is 23j per cent. September, 1879, was the start ing point of the trade revival in Great Britain. That month was dis tinguished from its stagnant prede cessors by an increase of 2 per cent, in imports and 5 per cent, in exports. Since then British commerce has mounted upward until the nine months of 1880 show a gain of 19.5 in imports and 19.2 in exports (home productions only) over the figures for the corresponding nine months of last year. The improvement affents all c!a-ses of business. But is most extraordinary in cotton manufac tures. In that line of exports En gland beat her best previous record. Her export pf cotton voods for last month am aimed to 42T,204,600 yards against 359,643,900 yards.Tp Septem ber, 1879 pearly all of her old cus. Jsi China and Japan—the former taking 2,000.000 yards jess, and the latter fail ing off in about the same proportion. This decline in two of her favorite markets is mostly due to the vigo rous competition of the United States. The Chinese and Japanese are fast coming to prefer our cotton piece goods, having found out that they are more free from adulteration than the British makes. But in Turkey, Brazil, her Indian empire and in many another country En gland has the undisputed mastery in cotton goods. American rivalry is not likely to affect her seriously in that respect for the present—cert ly not if English manufacturers give up those tricks in trade which are forfeiting the confidence of China and Japan. Looking abroad, we find in all the continents reasons why England is prosperous. The world is mostly at peace. No great war is raging any where. The insigificant contests in Afghanistan and South America have no perceptible effect on British commerce and trade. The eastern question is the only disturbing con tingency, and now promises to be set tled satisfacorily for the time being. No land is w’asted by pestilence. The year has enjoyed a remarkable ex emption from yellow fever and chol era. We hear no more of famine not even in Ireland. India, lately so hungry and gaunt, now sits sleek ind contented amidst her enormous rice crops, and is able to pay for her unprecedented orders of cotton goods. Harvests along the Mediterranean were never so abundant. The Eu ropean agriculturist and manufactur er, like those of the United States, go hand in hand as the recipients of the blessings of prosperity to which each contributes his share. Every nation is doing its very best in the career < f industry to which it is naturally a lapted. All are working together tor the good ol all. The Spencerian philosophy may assign profound*r reasons for the good times in vrhich every country 011 the globe is now >r is soon to be a participant. P jr oaps sun spots have something to do with it. The social scientist may be *ble to express lhe present corumer •ial epoch hy a diagram or lay it down in a curve. These be myste ries to the uniniated. We only know tnat a globe free from the curses of war, famine and pestilen e is pros pering in business of every descrip tion, and we have the simple faith to believe that these conditions will ilways be fwund correlated and nev er apart, and tnat the good of one country cannot be long dissociated from that of the rest of the world. ; S. A. CUNNINGHAM. v\# If .71 T*v I THE EARTH. The latest and most trustworthy statistics of the population Qf the earth have just been given to the public fey Herren Behm and Wagne*, the distinguished German geogra-* phew, whose work, pbuiished at te regular intervals, is everywhere ac cepted as the highest authority on this subject, From this we iearu that the world Is being peopled at the en couraging rate of nearly a million* at 1 month* The total population of the l globe is how 1**155,323,000* or *6,778,f 000 greater than it was 19 months ago, when the authors issued their last publication. The announcement of this fact will doubless excite fresh alarm among the disciples of Mai thus wherever any are to be found. Con** snierably more than half of the peo pie of the earth are gathered in Asia. That country is reported to havfc a* population of 834,707,000; Europe, 315,929,000; Africa, 205,669,000; Amer tea, 93,495.500; Australia and Poly** nesia, 4,031,000, and the Polar regions —that is Greenland and Iceland—B2,** 000. Of the principal countries of Europe, Germany is credited with 43,900,000 inhabitants; Austria and Hungary, 38,000,000; France, 37,000,* 000; Great Britain, 34,500,000 and the entire Russian dominions about 88,- 000,000, of which nearly 66,000,000 are in Russia proper, European Tur key has 8,866,000 people, and Asiatic Turkey 26 320,000, Of Asia’s popu lation China, with all its dependen cies, is reported to have 424,626,000; Japan, 34.338,000 and British India, 240,298,000. The United States con tains more than half of the American population. British North America has 3 339.000, Mexico, 9,485,000, and Brazil, the most populous of South American countries, 11,100,000. While the figures in this work have been taken from census and other official reports, whenever such material was in existence as late as the beginning of 1880, the authors have, of course, in many instances b&n under the necessity of giving estimates which,, in the case of parts of Africa and Asia and tome other regions, can be IllC' 1 C 11IW1 \J M V S>C# vw, _ estimates have generally been made with care and skill, and afford the latest and best information to be had on the subject. The general accuracy of their computations is shown by the fact that the authors give the population of the United States at 48,500,000,exclusive of 800,000 Indians which is not much amiss for an esti mate made without any aid from the census of this year.--Herald. AFRAID TO KISS A GIRL. •‘How many old fellows there are who wish they had been in the place of the bad boy who a day or two ago was ordered to kiss a girl by way of punishment! The boy got two sound whippings for not oestowing the kiss according to order. Thousands of older boys would gladly have taken two whippings for the chance of giv ing a kiss; then they would have been as lively as possible in devis ing some new mischeif that would insure them some more whippings if kisses were to accompany them. That bad boy’s remorse over his wrong-doing, whatever the deed may have been, was probably very great, particularly while the teacher’s switch was in view, but it was noth ing to that which he will suffer in later days for not having kissed that girl. Perhaps he did not know how to kiss, except in a family sort of a wav ; perhaps he was cublike enough to prefer fighting to affection, but he is sure to get bravely over that sort of thing. May he be sen-ible enough to realize that the older he grows the worse his chances will be; girls do not always remain as kissable as they oe in their early school days.”— Ne%C York Her dd.
