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.

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.

'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.
