Important Conversation about Eating.
BY A DOCTOR.
“Doctor 1 am happy that we meet
again. Our former conversations
have afforded me great interest, and,
I trust, profit. Can you give me a
halt hour.' 1 ”
“Most cheerfully.”
•'Well, Doctor, much has been
written about the kind oj bread which
is most healthful. What would you
advise ?”
“Wheal, all things considered,
may be reckoned ihe most nourishing
at best." •'
“Would you prefer coarse or fine
flour ?”
“Tbe bran, which is the part first
separated from the fine flour, is
the most nutritious part of the
grain, and the plan which some
adopt ol leaving the bran with the
flour, is the best and most healthful.”
“How about digestion ?”
The coarse bread digests the
mofe quickly. The woody fibres of
the bran act mechanically in divi
ding and separating the mass of
food, thus rendering it more readily
penetrated by the juices or solvent
fluids of the stomach. Coarse
bread is, therefore, easier of digest
tion as well as more nutritious.'”
“What do you think of com
bread ?”
“Indian meal possesses more oil,
and is, therefore, more fattening and
more heating than any other of our
common grains. It is not, therefore,
well to eat it largely in hot weather.
It is, however, a good article of food,
and corn cakes are not to be re
fused. It is good, but not equal to
wheat bread,”
“Doctor, what is your opinion
about mixing different ingredients in
the bread loaf ?”
“Do you mean the use ot differ
ent kinds of flour or meal in the
same loaf?”
“I do.”
“1 think well of it. Potatoes,
rice, or Indian meal add much to
the palatableness of the wheat flour.
The loat in this way is more moist,
and hence more relishable, while it
is equally nutritious.”
“Which do you think is more
healthful, ‘bakers’ bread’ or ‘home
made bread ?’ ”
“This is a delicate question, but
lam quite free to answer you. Ba
kers’ bread is often adulterated with
alum or some other substance to
improve the color. There i3 more
nourishment in the good old fash
ioned home loaf. I would strongly
advise families to eat bread made at
home.”
"Is it well to eat warm bread
“It is not. Warm bread packs
in the stomach; besides, it melts
the butter with which it is spread
too rapidly, thus rendering the
latter more indigestible.”
“What about old or new bread ?”
“Many regard new bread as more
relishable; and hence choose it, but
my advice is, never begin on a loaf
until it is at least one day old. The
stomach will not then be so likely to
be 'over-crammed. Old bread is
more easily digested.”
“From what you have said. Doc
tor, in our previous conversations, I
judge that you ibink well of a mixed
diet of animal and vegetable food?”
Most certainly; but there are
some good general rules with regard
to such mixed diet: one of these is
that the larger proportion of our food
should be vegetable; and another,
that the warmer the season the
greater should be the vegetable pro
portion of our food. The advanla~
ges of mixed diet are very great.
Food ought to contain a due admix,
ture of nitrogenous, and
ceous elements—the former supplied
by animals and the latter by vege
table food. In this way only can
there be the right proportions of the
proper elements, viz., fat or oil,
starah or sugar, fibrin or gluten.”
“Do you recommend fish?”
“Fish is healthful, and generally
cheaper than other meats. It con
tains a larger amount of fibrih. It
is especially healtful in summer.”
“Whatof eggs?”
“They are nutritious, and easily
digested. The white or albumen
ous portion has a very close relation
to fibrin or gluten. The yelk is a
kind of albumen mixed with yellow
oil, the latter in large proportion.”
“Should eggs be hard or soft
boiled ?V
“If eaten soon after boiling, nei<*
ther is difficult of digestion; soft
boiled eggs arc soonest digested.
Let those, however, who prefer to
have the eggs cooked through (not
hard) di> so ; unless the stomach is
exceedingly delicate ho injury will
be experienced. Boiled eggs are
preferable, te fried eggs.’-’-—/feme If

Permanence in Affection,
M. De Tocqueville, in his work
on “Democracy in America,” ob
serves that the habit of inattention
must be considered the greatest bane
of the democratic character. And
as inattention and want of applica
tion in matters of thought generate
a superficial and unreliable condi
tion of the intellect, so, in like man
ner, may the integrity of our affec
tions be endangered by improper
cultivation. No one can fail to no
tice, as characteristic of our social
life, the extreme facility will) which
persons pass from one experience in
affection to another. The apparent
want of injury to the individual in
these rapid passages from one affec
tion to another can only be account
ed for on the supposition that the af
fection was of the most shallow and
delusive nature. The tendencies of
fashionable society are toward the
fostering of the most transient and
inefficient ties of affection. It has
been said that great passions no
longer show themselves. And cer
tain it is that shallowness and vacil -
lation, want of depth and of faith-j
fulness, are the properties which
most completely characleiize our
conduct of life with regard to the
affections.
The influence of our intellectual
habits on our affections may be
traced in this matter. We are so
inconstant in our opinions and be
liefs, all our intellectual conclusions
lie so much at the mercy of change,
and we so quickly pass from one ob
ject of thought to another, that the
habit of the intellect is transferred
to the affections with results the
character of which admits of but
little doubt. The evils of this in
constancy, this facility of change in
the objects of the affections, are sad
enough through the course of a life
time. He who has no deep and last
ing affections has never known the
capacities of his own nature nor
sounded t he depths of sympathy in
others. The depth and force of
character which in general belong to
the man who has strong affections,
is in striking contrast with the weak
ness of the opposite. This tenden
cy toward weakness and inconstan
cy in affection, it were folly to assert
as possessing every mind, ytt such
are the social forms in which we
struggle, and such are our methods
of training and culture, that its in
fluence extends to the best minds
among us, vitiating the spirit and
force of our feelings. Intellectut l
growth presupposes a succession of
objects, and the ability to pass
quickly from one object of thought
to another. But at the same time
nothing of strong import can be ac
complished without concentration.
The culture which we receive as
men and women of the world is tru
ly wonderful. The multiplicity and
variety of the objects which claim
our attention generate an adroit and
superficial stale of mi.id, which is
apparently on every hand. “Our
system of education fosters restless
ness” —“the traveling of the mind.”
This traveling of the mind, this
constant presence of the desire for
change, we recognize as having its
influence not only on our intellectual
life, but also on our affections.
The habit of patient attention, of
concentration, is rarely to be noticed;
and, therefore, instead of accuracy
and depth in our mental convictions,
we have that superficiality of knowl
edge and inconstancy of belief which
has its perfect analogy in the want
of permanence and faithfulness ir. af
tection, that we are considering.
Among the dissatisfactions arising
from inconstancy, from a succession
in the object of our affections, the
greatest is the inability at last to
thoroughly fix the affections at all.
Such an experience corrupts the
man’s whole exislencc. He has
wasted his substance in insincere
and improvident living, and hence
forth snaff go through the world
without tasting of the diviner depths
of human affection. There is no
doubt that the highest affections are
of gradual formation —are a growth
of time. If we are impa
tient, and would have the fruit
before the flower has well gone, we
shall never possess ourselves of the
highest experience in these things.
The final results on the cbatacter
of a person, die object of whose af
fections are cqnstantly changing, is
apparent. It is simply ta fill him
with polished insincerity. And as
ihere is in himself ihe wtujt of truth,
of reality, so that he may not trust
in his own feelings, he comes at last
to disbelieve in the reality of the af
fections of others. Asa man bro
ken down of excess may not trust
his bodily senses, so trysts he not bis
own heatt or that qf others. Aa in
the action us tbe intedlepf there may
be a reckless squ&ndefiug mental
force, so also there may be in oar af
fections ; and the Injury to healthful
ness of action is as unSvoida'ble in
the latter case as in the former
In such things as we have been
considering, ourondcuet is to often
controlled by mere “gross sense and
custom,” rather than by enlightened
views of our nature and our duty.
VVe should elevate our conceptions
of duty by elevating our sympa
thies. Our affections should not de
scend to low and trivial aims, but
should quicken our thoughts and re
fine our sentimens. The tendency
of our social habits is to make us
miserably superficial in thought and
in feeling. There is no dignity, no
culture in our “modern society,”
that has its permanent influence.
All is in motion without definable
aim. In our conduct with regard
to our affections, it appears to me
that we should resist this constant
motion and seek to cultivate perma
nence in our affections. No degree
of talent or accomplishment can do
away with the necessity for this
quality. Let us cheiish those affec
tions we have as “light-bringers,”
that shall not fail to help us in the
eamestness of life. The cultivation
of permanence in those affections
which are well founded within us
has a most beneficent influence on the
character. It makes us more sin
cere and more conscientious—brings
a dignity and thoughtfulness is our
conduct that we can ill spare.
No worthy character can a man
lorm for himself without anchoring
his affections, and that worthily !
To be given up to the charm of suc
cession in these matters, is to have
entered upon that dissipation of
mind and heart which shall inevita
bly end in impotence of character,
out of tbe daikness ot which scarce
ly any light of moral principal will
be seen to emerge.— j. a. r. in Phre
nological Journal.
Herr Mohr, a German traveler in
Eastern Africa, has written a de
scription of the Victoria Falls, on the
Zambesi river, from which it would
appear that these fulls are, in some
respects, superior to those of Niagara.
He reached the spot after innumer
able difficulties and endless trials of
patience. “The length of the fall,”
he says, “is nearly an English mile;
it is four hundred feet deep and the
cliff over which the water flows is
born two hundred and eighty to
three hundred and sixty feet wide,
and the stream flows on in a channel
only two hundred and seventy leet
wide between dark precipices.
Guklph and Campbell.—The
Prince of Wales and the Mnrquis of
Lome are evidently not on good
terms, if we may judge from the fol
lowing, which appeared in the
Dundee Advertiser, which paper had
it from its London correspondent:
“A curious story is in circulation
with regard to the relations of the
Marquis of Lome and the Princess
Louise to the other members of the
royal family. I believe that at the
Duke of Sutherland’s banquet to the
Russian Grand Duke, now in this
country, tbe Marquis and Princess
were treated as members of the royal
family. The Prince of Wales, how
ever, will not accept this view' of the
position, and at the State ball the
other night gave orders that the Mar
quis should not be admitted at the
royal entrance. He was according
ly refused admittance, and the Prin
cess declined to enter except with
her husband, saying that her place
was where he was. The Marquis
would not take the Princess in by
the general public entrance, and the
result was that they did not attend
the ball. The circumstance has
caused a good deal of talk in the up
per circles.”
Advice from Spurgeon.—No
body is more like an honest man
than a thorough rogue.
When you see a man with a great
deal of religion displayed in his
shop window, you may depend up
on it he keeps a very small stock of
it within.
Do not choose your friend by his
looks : handsome shoes often pinch
the feet.
Don’t believe the man who talks
the most, for mewing cats are very
seldom good mousers.
By no means put yourselves in
another persons power; if you put
yoar thumb between two grinders,
they are very apt to bite.
. Drink nothing without seeing it;
sign nothing wimout reading it and
make sure that it means no more
than it saya-
Dnn’t go to law unless you have
nothing to lose; lawyer’s houses are
built on fools’ beads.
In any business never wade into
water where you cannot see the bot
tom.
See the sack open before you buy
what i?<n it; for he who trades in
the dark asks to be cheated.
Keep clear of a man who does
not value bis own character.

A Dirty Radical Slander Refuted.
Memphis, July 21.—The following ap
pears in the Avalanche :
“Before and since toy arrival in Mem
phis, this day, my attention- haa been
called to a slanderous article in ,cer
tain Radical newspapers which at
tack my private character, in connec
tion with a lady who, it is freely stited,
was traveling under ray charge. It is
deemed due go myself,-as well as my
personal frietnds, to state unequjvpeally
and without delay, the story in * the
whole and in all its essential pkrf* is
unmistakably the instigation Of- mil ice.
and I hereby pronounce it utterly fi^se.”
| Signed] J effebson Dav(s.
It is scarcely necessary for Mr. Davis
to notice a slander which nobody, not
even his decentenemies believed. The
New Orleans Timet thus comments upon
the shameless attempt of abase partisan
to fix a stigma upon the character of
one whose social life has been the ex
emplification of all Ghriltiam wutnes.
“Possibly,” remarks the Timgt t “poshing
has heretofore been so offensive ia
Radical eyes, as the singular purify and
blamelessness of Jefferson Dtvii’ pri
vate life. The contrast in this respedt be
tween a fallen chief and his triumphant
revilers, has proved a silent rebate -and
reproach against the sanctity emmed
so r their successful cause. If is tWrtron
der, then, that a strong desire should ex
ist to assail it; or that among saefr-peo
ple one could be found sufficiently low
and debased to set afloat' an iniquitous
story, so entirely 1 untrue and malignant,
as toearn for its driginatotr a clear title
to the scorn and contempt of trretf re
spectable man and woman in the’land.
The fiendish ness which prompted and
the ribald'toalevolenCe which pOtlAta in
circulating so cruel'4 falsehood, fHd'well
to know, is born of -the same ebkrity
which gave the Country emancipation,
and preserved inviolate the ‘•bailP-Gov
