lKlTIFrU ANSWERS. A pupil of the Abbo Sicoro" gave tbe following extraordinary answers : "What in gratitude?" "Gratitude is the niomory of the noart. "What is hone T" "Hope is the blossom of happiness." "What is the difference between hope and Oesire T "Desire is a tree in leaf, hope is a tree in (lower, aud enjoyment is a tree in fruit." "What is eternity T" "A day without yesterday or to-morrow; a line that has no end.' "What is time?" "A lino that has two nds ; a path which begins in tho cradle and ends in the tomb." "What is God ?" "Tho necessary being, the sura of eternity, the merchant of nature, the eye of justice, tho watchmaker of the nuiverso, the soul of tho world." "Docs God reason?" ".Man reasons, because he doubts; ho deliberates; he decides. God is omniscient; ho never doubts; he there fore never reasons." In keeping with the day is the story, so often told of Ethan Allen. lie had the reputation of being an open un believer in Christianity. He publish ed the first formal attack on the Chris tian religion ever written in America, lie inclined to the doctrine of Pytha goras, and believed in the transmigra tion of souls. His wife was a woman of exemplary pioty, and his children, with tho exception of one daughter, shared with the mother in her religious belief. This daughter inclined to tho etrango opinions of the father. When about to die, sho sent for him. The rough-spoken man, wtoso heart was as a child's, came to tho bedside of the dying girl, "Father, I am about to die," said she; "shall I believe in the principles you have taught mo, or shall I believe in what mother has taught me?" The father became agi tated, his lips quivered, tears ran down his cheeks, and bending over his dying child, he said, with a voice choked with emotion : "Believe what your mother has taught youl" The first general law of nature by which God prevents man from destroy ing himself, is the alternating of day and night, that repose may succeed action. But even this does not suffi ciently restore its balance for th3 at tainment of a long life, llcuco, by the bounty of Providence, one day in teven is thrown in as a day of com pensation, to perfect by its repose the animal system. I consider, therefore, that in the wise and good provisions of Providence for the preservation of human life, the sabbatical appoint ment is not, as has been sometimes thoologically viewed, simply a pretext partakicsr of the nature of n nnlit.icnl institution, but that it is to be num bered among the natural duties, if the preservation of life be admitted to bo a duty, and tho premature destruc tion of it is a Euioidal act. Dr. John Farr. A celebrated writer has given the conditions under which the women of different nationalities are fond of hus bands; tbey are in substance as fol lows : A French woman will love her husband if he is either witty or chiv alrous; a German will hers if he is constant; a Dutch woman hers if he does not disturb her comfort and care too much ; a Spanish woman is devoted to her husband if he wreaks vengeance upon all who provked her displeasure ; an Italian is satisfied if her partner is but dreamy and poetical ; a Russian if her lord despises all westerners ma miserable barbarians; an English wo man loves her husband if he succeeds iu ingratiating himself with the court and Bobility, and an American woman is satisfied if hers has plenty of money. Bad language easily runs into bad deeds. Select any society you please; suffer yourself to converse in its dia lect, to use iti slang, to speak in the character of one who relishes it, and I need not tell how soon your tmral sense will lower down to its level. Be coming intimate with it, you lose your horror of it. To be too much with bad men and bad places, is not only unwholesome to a man's morality, but unfavorable to his faith and tru6t in God. It is not every man who could live as Lot did in Sodom, and then be fit to go out of it under God's convoy. This obvious principle, of itself", fur nishes a reason not only for watchiDg tho tongue, but for keeping oursolves as much as possible out of tho compa ny of bad associates. A paper in that State says the mean est man in Michigan is a constable in Marquette, who levied on an old lady's chickens, and after running them down one at a time, sat down and .fig ured how far he had run and charged ruileugo. "Where's the molasses, Bill?" said a red-headed woman Bharply to her son, who had returned with au empty jug.
