I "A friend indeed it a friend .in need." B Your real true -hearted "frifnJ indeed," ■ it yosr friend of all manner of needs— B that it, always — for yon are ever in need f of a friAd. U yon think not, be ns* »ured no one will labor to convince yon II to the contrary ; for friendships that are worth baviug are not tbrnit upon ooe like the wares of shopkeepers. In the persona! relations of thought and U- feeling that constitute true friendship there is no bargaining, and tb« most lasting and valoable friendship} are ^ * those formed, as it wert, by physical fJLy laws operating without our porpose or attention. Explicit agreement is a worthless cement in friendship, when there are not the congenial disposition and natural unfri of sentiment. Not ij much amy be saTOy built npon the qo,1 ttoa that contrarities in character iiaTe " j a mutual attraction. We have, It it — v > Jf**, «■ especial plca-nrc in associating c.urselro# with tboso who poasesa certain I good qualities in which we know ourL selves to be notably deficient ; bat the attachment betweeu friends is brief and (laetaating nnkn the point of similar* ity in the whole character overbalance the differences. Jlicb paine never gained friendship, but ranch friendship . . was never lust for want of much pains, i if It hi impossible to be independent; and ' if how we pity nufortonate people who ' teem to think they can do without | friends. j Flow thi American Afrtraltnrist. ptntrxurt alowx akd akoko cobs.

k IALDTABT THOUGHT. When I waa a yonng man, there HVcd r in oer neighborhood a former who was 1 usually reported to be a very liberal ■ ma$, and uncommonly upright ip his ' dealings. When he bad any of the produce of bis farm to dispose of, be ■ made it on invariable rule to give good ' measure. — One of bis friends, observing ' him frequently doing so, questioned him 1 why he did it-— told him .be gave too ' much, and said It would not bd to his ' 1 advantage. No# mark the answer of 1 this excellent man. "God Almighty ' ha* permitted me bnt one journey 1 tbrongb the world, and when I am gone ■ I cannot return to rectify mistakes." 1 Think of this. But one jourtay through , 1 the world ! "51 ETHOS OF ASCCKTAIKISG THE STATE OF the Lckos. — Persons desirous of ascertaining the (roe state of their lungs are , directed to dpaw in as much breath as they conveniently can ; they are then to , count as far as they ore able, in a alow , and ipidible voice, without drawing in more breath. The number of seconds they can continue counting, must be ob- ' served. In a consumption,, the time 4o«s not exceed ten, and is frequently less than six seconds; in pleurisy and , pneumonia it ranges from nine to four sreondi. When the lungs are in a sound ' condition, the time will range as high i aa from twenty to thirty five seconds.
