How to Live Happily.
Mr. P. F. M. Farr’s ideas on mar
’ fed life. '
* Harmony iu ilia id arrieJ stale is tho
fi’st thing to ba arrival at. Nothing
nil preserve the affestiona unintenupt
i bat & firm resolution never to dill'ar
itv will, and a determination in o.nch
other to consider the lova of the other
of more value than any object whatev
or on which tLc wish had been fixed,
njw light, in fact, is the sacrifice of
ny o!bet wish when weighed against
the lTctionß of one with whom we
we to pass car Whole life. And no
opposition iu a single instance will
hardly in itself produco alienation, yet
had his pouch into which all
these little oppositions ate pat, and
while that is tilling, tho allienation ; s
sensibly going on, and when filled it
:s complete It would puzzle either to
r.sy wbv, because no one difference of
©pinion has been marked enough to
produce a serious effect by i'self. But
ha or ihe bi ds iris or her affections
wearied oot by a sconstant stream of
Httl checks and oletaoles. Ocher
sources of discontent, vary common,
indeed, are the little crass purposes of
hosbaud and wife in common convsr
aatJon, a disposition in either to criti
eiee, a desire always to demonstrate
ami mate each other feci that they are
in ibe wrong, especially in sympathy.
Nothing is so goading on the part of
either. Much better, therefore, it oar
companion views a thing in a light dif
ferent from wfaat we do, to him
in quiet possession of his view. What
is the use of rectifying him if the
thing be unimportant, and if import
ant, let it pass for the present, and wait
for a softer moment and nioie concilia
tory occasion of revising tha subject
together. It is wonderful how many
persons are rendered unhapnv by inat
tenticn to these rules of prudence. ’
That ‘‘Methodist Milk”—What Mr.
Calvin Whitfield says about it.
Homer, Ga., 20th, inst , ISSB.—At
the Baptist Church, ut Jasper. Pickets*
county, Ga., abont clgut years ago I
heard Thadeous Pickett eay that he
“sacked Methodist mi'fc from hi>
mother, and he would to God be could
vomit it up." Calvin Whi'field.
Mr. Whitfield is ouoot Banks (.oun
ty*6 reliable citizens, and hie word
h would be taken in any court of jaetic*
ia Georgia. He also s<a<ca that ho
heard Mr. Piekect use the same lan
jfuage at Be hany church in Piokens
connty, about the same year Why
should Pickett det y it? Iho truth is,
somebody has lied and the people of
Banka will net believe Pickett.
It is probable that embroidery will
aoon play a prominent part in men’s
dress. Time tar it hag only shown
itself in connection With dress Teste,
which arc embroidered with a degree
ef elaboration depending npon the taate
and the pocket book of the wearer.
The coming fall, will, however, wit
ness the introduction of embroidery
upon coats, vests and trenser*. Thus
far none of these garments have been
made op in America.
A crazed Baptist preacher in
Birmingham, named Rev J. T.
Radcliff, has been sent to the in
sane asylum at Tuscaloosa. Rad
cliff has been goiog about with a Bible
io one hand and a knife in the other,
compelling people to listen to his ma
niac sermons.
In France there are 22 313 national
schools for girls and 37,224 lor boys.
The hut named are conducted by fe
male teachers and the last by male*.

'Would you read a man’s thoughts,
observe bis gait; study bia walk. A
famous philosopher - approached by a
person whom he had never mat before
shunted out, "speak, that I may spy
yon - ” It was through the voice only
that the beauty of a person could be
seen by hira. Il be Lad desired t<
form an accurate esiimate of the mind
he would no doubt have cried, "Walk
that I my judge of you.” A man
may conceal bis trae character by his
tengne—be tr.ay be able to make it
Wag in away whioh will deceive, bnt
his legs will betray him. A.thief can
no more walk like an honest man than
a camel can go through the eye of a
needle; a melancholy man cannot pos
sibly put on tbe gait of the soldier,
3nd Caliban never walked like Ariel.
There is fiue walking which indicates
self possession; uprightness with ease
and freedom; the 6tcdent has the slow
mining pace; the traderoaa the
quick, nervous movement, while the
laborer has the hard and heavy tread.
A keen observer once remarked that
duplicity always skulks; so it does.
In like manner, the thief invariably
sneakg, shame has a sidelong earriago,
but honesty pats its feet into Excelsi
or’s boots end inarches to an onward
measure.
You will have no difficulty in pick
ing out the student. He ia generally
of a thin aud frail nature. Who has
not, while strolling in the public gai
dea or walking along some of ike few
thoroughfares not yet locked by com
merce, noticed tha man with arms be
hind and eyes fastened fixedly before
him, neither looking to tha right nor to
the left, but with slow and steady step
passing silently onward? Perhaps
you aUc yourself, “What can that
man te out for, lie neither sees nor
hears anything that is happening
around him, wbat good does a walk do
him?”
The student’s air, his gait, his every
action will iudieats that he is thick
tng —that there is some hi rig he is <-n
dtavorii'g to jrasp, be walks like a
man Seeking a peari which he feels tie
will certainly sooner or late, find. He
has a oorfident gait. Note the au of
him who is troubled Rest ln- u tare,
nervous step, not attempting to seok
anything, not striving to e the bean
t ea of the universe of the Sapreraity,
or the handiwork of man, but on (.he
contrary endeavoring to shake off some
dreaded monster which appears to fol
lov nun, a hidden power which seems
to speak to him as to that other wan
derer, bidding him “move on,” and be
walks hurriedly, seeing nothing, hear
iug nothing. He is oppressed by a
horrible nightmare whose same is sor
row. Sorrow and stillness in such a
case are synonymous terms, and exet
cise is the only antidote.
It is the easiest thing in the world
to note that a mao is in trouble by bis
gait, indeed, he betrays it to that ex
tent that dogs have been known to
bark at such persons, as if divining
that they were at war with mankind.
If a man is vexed he walks to get over
bis madness, and if you observe him
sharply, yen will notice that, not hav
ing the object of his anger to kick, he
viciously kicks np the gravel or tries
to chip off pieces of the pavetceot with
bis boots.
How can yon tell a wicked man?
The wicked flee when no. man pursn
eth. If a man has done anything for
which his conscience aecusea him, bis
impulse is to fly, to get away from the
scene of bis crime aid to pot space te
tvm b’mw'rand that still, email
, voice. Ha will be in a hurry, and
i there will he neither poetry nor harnw
nyinb-s step. Alter u.en quit this
earth they are sometimes forced to
walk, in order to expiate some of their
ufTent.es.
A List of He&lui Suggestions. I

Disordered digestion in adults is of- I

Up to middle life most peoplo are
