If one desires life, says the Yon'.h'd Companion, he desires a goo 1 tl.iriff, lrovitled he can do its wo:k. He should, however, heed the advice of an English medical writer. "The first things," lie says, "to which one enter ing the profession of literature mut m:ike uj) his mind, are to be respect able and healthy." Many men of genius have left belvnd tliem but fragments instead of com pleted work, because they would not live respectable lives. Uurns ruined hs usefulness by drink and idleness Cow per, on the other hand, w;u fo afllicted with a natural gloom as to be often tempted to suicide. His life -was, to quote his last words, ' unutterable misery." Yet his writings exhibit but a faint trace of this melancholy tend ency. Daily exercise, temperate meals and a i unctual observance of regular hours of study and ret, preserved his reason, and enabled him to do much good wo;k. Thomson, the author of "The Sea son'?," says the writer already quoted, "faded away from lazy and self-indulgent habits." Dr. Samuel Johnson was scrofulous, hypochondrical, corpu lent, and averse to bodily exertion. He was passionately fond of eating an I drinking, yet he restrained him e'f, walked a good deal, and worked stea l ily s nd patiently. Later in life lie abstained entirely from wine, because he thought it injured his health. He rested his mind with spoitive conver sation, and even when his body broUe down, the retention of his mental fac ulties rewarded him for the care he had laken to preserve his health. Robert Sou! hey, who made literatuie a healthy and successful profession, lived a very rational life amid the fresh air and quiet of a country home. He ass 'dated wilh congenial and loing spirits, to k regular exerci-e, main tained a frugal table, worked industri ously, and lived temperately and chastely. His mental powers abode with him in old age aud his memory is blessed. The more delicate the machinery of the body of a literary man, the easier is it disarranged. The more sensitive his mind, the more readily may it be clouded. Therefore, if he would eo -linue useful, he must take care of his bodv. Asphaltlc Wood Pavement. Recently at the Society of Engineers, London, a paper was read by Mr. Hen ry S. Copeland on "Modern Roadway Construction." The author first ad verted to ti e extent to which the work of road making was constantly goin on at the present time, and i.o iced the progress made by the various nations of antiquity, the stale of deiay into which the medieval roads had been al lowed to fall, and the various attempts made to improve them since the begin ning of the present century. He then d scribed the principal sys ems of road way coiistruc'vion now in u.e, and pointed out the extent to which, h: considered, they met, or failed to meet, the requirements of a good modem roadway; namely, safety, easy traction J noiselessnes, freedom from dust and' mud, durability, facility, and cheap nets of con-ti uclion. maintenance and repairs to itself, and to the gas and wa ter mains, etc. He explained the pr n ciples .upon which, with a view to avoiding the defects of pievious sys tems, he h;:d d s gned the asphaltic wood pavement, the use of which w- now increasing. Th's pavement con si.its of a bed of concrete, with a layer of a phalL over it. Upon this are laid tianverse courses of red pine blocks, with intermediate spaces. Tho spaces are filled in partly with heated mastic aspha t, and then with coarse lime and gravel grout, flushed with hot air, to the surface of tlu read way. About ; n Huh of coare gravel is then spread over the roadway and left to be worked in by the traffic. The author finally examined into the expense of construc tion and maintenance of the various systems of roadway, drawing the con clusion that though, for town roads macadam was the cheapest in original cost, was by far the most expensive over a term of years, whereas, although asphaltic wood pavement cost more at first, it was cheaper, over a lengthened period than macadam, or most other roadways; and would compare favora bly with other systems, in that ana most of the requirements of a gOo-d modern roadway. A rrcnilnm Orchard. Prof. Real, of Michigan, makes the following statement iu regard to a pre mium orchard of that State. "The older nrt of the orchard was set about twenty years ago. About half of tne trees were rOf it-grafts, and the other half natural iruit, which has since been top-grafted. In the beginning, Mr. L. II. Bailey, of South Haven, the owner, was strongly impressed in favor of top grafting trees of natural fruit, but he now confesses that he sees no differ ence in the bearing, growth t r haidi ness of the trees propagated in these two different modes. The trees are set forty feet apart, in squares, which is seven to ten feet more than is com monly practiced. They now evidently need all the room they have. From former experiments, I know the roots reach across each other, from tree to tree, all over the orchard. The e trees generally bear full every other year, though some bear moderately every year, and a few bear heavily every year. This year there is about a fifth cf a cr p of fruit more than can be said of any other large orchard in the State. For some years, Mr. Eailey has ma nured the ground all over heavily once in three years, lie also mulches a part oE the time with brush, straw, etc, He plows about once in three years, and prefers at that time a heavy dress ing of horse manure and sawdust; the greater the proportion of manure to the sawdust, the better it suits him. For some years the owner has not been able to fill his orders for apples. One of the chief reasons is that he raises a good deal of fine fruit, and never ships any but first-class, extra j apples. ! The brandies are started five feet ! ffr-r.v tllO f r1 11 n .1 mwl . . liaarlnlf : i "td t.) ;' rr'in 1. Th rod 1 in? moth Yirtiie In Whistling.

He found such a man imue careful bout cl sing nates, puL.ing up bars, aud seeing ih. t tha nuts on h s plow were all propeil. lightened before he took it oi;L into the :ie d.

Cheap Articles. A ricent writer sagely rein irks that excellence and cheapness cannot g t gether, an l w e would save ourse ves much aunoyai ce and ilisappointment by leco-n zing and remeru'-ering t!ie fact. He adds: The house which the c n'ractor builds too cheaply will invariably have weak walls, woo I work t'tat w.ll shrink a' the corners, plastering that will dio; off, and paint that will cnuk. How can it I e otherwise? The luilderwil not in ke a pn se :t of good work an i good mate, ias to his pation; ehe p work will be given for cheap p:;y. Ti e tailor will rot put good ma erial and s;.il!cd labor in the suit of coii.es which looks as good as the best, but is s. Id at a price tar below what is asked lor the g nuine article. It cannot be doiie, and it should not be expected; but rather those who are compel ed to buy cheaply should philoscphica 1 make up their minds to bear the c us quences that must follow cheap pur chases. Tae cost of anything, a d c c -sequeiitly its viiue, is measured bv two things: quality of material and the l..bor employed to make it. The e ;n tuin m y be superior or n f -ri r.
