will be found. one-of the ripbest; and 3retl the
most difficult of all. Rich tifid attradtiVetoUil

introduction, in which the life and ,charac.te,x, of
the Apostle are drawn, and, the ,wholaairele.of
his Epistles is considered, and , -.the' Epistle to

But the profound doctrinal pertiniii,t3
doubtless the Apostle ,y4er:referred, when be
spoke of the things hard to be understood , in
Paul's writings, ard•tiested , with 'elabbrateitess
which requires the leisurely tipiilicatiOn':Of

THE DIET OF BRAIN-WORWERS.
The meals of brainittorkers should, so far
as possible; be leisurely enloyed •fit a pleasant

~,This rule is of preeminent im

T " Ohatted food jaill digested,"
is just as untrue as the idea that brain

the , ,greatest - of these- is conversation, for

In .the charminm biography of Charlotte

and perhaps to slow destruction. We may
visit, such places at occasional intervals, to

when we really need a substantial meal, 'we
should seek for; he humblest family circle

To recapitulate in -a few words: the diet
of brain-.workers,,, should be of a larger
variety, more delicately served, and more
