The rat' male of the initial
soup has often been discussed;
some regard it as calculated to
diminish digestive power, on
the theory that so much fluid
taken at first dilutes tlie gastric
jllirts. Hut there appears to
lw no foundation for tins belief.
A clear soup disappears almost
immediately after entering the

Many of the tim.-t eminent
speakers ami writers, both liv-'

the history of this country, and
whose works shed lustre upon
tills fair land, were iioor boys.

Mill, my young friends, if yon

In* ..a ir.ci.l nr ajijiarrntly •
discouraging iu its character,
the young heai'l should extract
an exhilarating iuiliieiice from
that soothing declaration of an
ancient sage: "That it is more
glorious to rise with grace than
not io have fallen at all.'' If it
w as necessary, or even the usual
result of a failure iu early at-
tempts, to quench the glow of
ambition in the bosom of tin-
young candidate for renown,
some of the most radiant names
which shine on tin* catalogue of
the xvorld's benefactors would
have been doomed to everlast-
ing obscurity. For tin* forensic
ami pi'ofrssioiial rrcords of ev-
ery enlightened nation mi earth
abound iu memorials to show
how often tin* brightest orna-
ments of our race iu arms, in
art, and in rjxj| polity, haxe
stumbled in passing through
the pol'i'h of eternity to till'
temple of fame.
I beseech you. my young
friends, do not become disheart
eiirtl by early failures in life.
Whatever honor"you max seek

Macaulay and Books.
.\ friend of Lord Mncaiilay's
told me that lie had often seen
that great man sitting down to
breakfast xvith an /Kschylus in
one hand and another learned
book, or rather another requir-
ing learning, in the other,
iu one of his letters to a pet lifj
tie lliece he tells her that
she will li in I that books are
"better than ali the furls and
cakes and plays and sights iu
the world. Il' anybodv would
make me the greateat king that
ever lived, with palaces and
gardens and tine dinners, and
xvineand conches and beautiful
clothrs, and humlrrds of M r
vants, on condition that I would
not read books, I would not lw
a king. I would rather be*a
poor man iu a garret with plen-
ty of books, than a king who
did not love reading.—London
