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 Health. Tbe campaign in Maioe is one of the quietest on record. 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. No. 15. FOREIGN. Poland has the Asiatic cholera. Spiritualism is od the wane in London] The famine is causing dreadful hav oc in Persia.

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.
