THE YOUNG SCIENTIST.

— He who receives a good turn should 
never forget it ; he who does one, should 
never remember it. — Glianon. 
— The actions of men are like the in- 
dex of a book; they point out what is 
most remarkable in them. — Addison. 
— Ambition often puts men upon do- 
ing the meanest offices ; so climbing is 
performed in the same posture with 
creeping.— >SM;i/i. 
— No man can possibly improve in any 
company for which he has not respect 
enough to be under some degree of vq- 
stiskint— Chesterfield. 
— An unjust accusation is like a barbed 
arrow, which must be drawn backward 
with horrible anguish, or else will be 
your destruction.— Ia?/Zor. 
— If a man empties his purse into his 
head, no man can take it away from him. 
An investment in knowledge always pays 
the best inteYest.— Franklin. 
— Whatever difference there may ap- 
pear to be Iq men's fortunes, there is still 
a certain compensation of good and ill in 
all that makes them eqiml. — Chanoji. 
you how many things and persons they 
cannot bear.— Jb/wi Foster. 
— Such is the encouragement given to 
flattery in the present times that it is 
made to sit in the parlor, while honesty 
is turned out of doors. Elattery is never 
so agreeable as to our blind side; com- 
mend a fool for his wit or a knave for his 
honesty, and they will receive you into 
tlcLQir bosom.— Fielding. 
— Dr. H. F. Hamilton says that at least 
once a day girls should have their hal- 
ters taken off, the bars let down, and be 
turned loose like young colts. "Calis- 
thenics may be very genteel, and romp- 
ing very ungenteel, but one is a shadow, 
the other the substance of healthful ex- 
ercise." 
— Anxiety is the poison of life, the 
sure destroyer of health, the parent of 
many sins and of more miseries. Why 
then allow it, when we know that all the 
future is guided by a Father's hand. 
— Of all the vanities and fopperies the i 
vanity of high birth is the greatest. True 
nobility is derived from virtue, not from 
birth. Titles, indeed, may be purchased, 
but virtue is the only coin that makes the 
bargain valid. — Bnrton. 
— Adversity exasperates fools, dejects 
cowards, draws out the faculties of the 
wise and industrious, i:>uts the modest to 
the necessity of trying their skill, awes 
the opulent, and makes the idle indus- 
trious.— Coleridge. 
— Envy's memory is n othing but a row 
of hooks to hang up grudges on. Some 
people's sensibility is a mere bundle of 
aversions, and you hear them display 
and parade it, not in recounting the 
tilings they are attached to, but in telling 
— A tidy called a " chair back," ca,n be 
made by getting one yard of Aida canvas ; 
fringe each end by taking six strands and 
making into a knot witli a crochet needle. 
The next row must be made by taking 
three strands from each previous knot 
and making a knot in the centre of the 
others. A handsome border must be 
worked on each side in cross-stitch em- 
broidery. Do not buy your pattern too 
elaborate, or the work will be tedious. In 
selecting your pattern be sure to get one 
requiring bright colors, such as bright 
blues, reds, bronzes, greens and pretty 
browns. 
— Girl graduates in England wear 
gowns precisely like those worn by uni- 
versity men, and made by the same 
tailor. At present they have only donned 
the B.A., or bachelor of art, robe, which 
is black and brown, and the B.Sc, or 
bachelor of science, which is yellow and 
black, but no doubt in time they will at- 
tain to those of higher degrees. The 
long black silk gowns, which are all of 
the same pattern, with large cape-like
