"To "keep jolly" undor all provocation
it, perhaps, a task which only
Dickons' Mark Taplojr could perforin.
We never have met Mark Tapley in
oar experience of human nature, but
we have seen him closely approximated,
and jt would bo well if poo^
pie in general could approach moro
nearly 'lift tinimitable character.
? phases, emergencies and
ocoupaifons of human life, good temper
is a commodity for which there is
a great demand, but In those which
bring an individual into daily eon*
tact with others, it is porhaps in
greatest demand and roost limited
supply.
To foremen in shops, and superins
tendontB of large manufacturing establishments,
good temper is a most
valuable qualification. Indeed, this
aftiolo was suggested by a notablo
want of good temper, in the treatment
of subordinates, by a foreman in an

It was evident that this establishment
was pervaded by a spirit of revolt,
begotten by the brow-beating, insolont
language and manner of the
foroman?the men, who wore sulky
and obstinate, being undoubtedly
rendered unmanageable and restless
by the total disregard of amenity In
tho man placed over them.
The best way is always to keep a
cheerful heart. Take tho world as it
goes, and the good- and the evil as
they sovorally come along, without
repining, if fortune frowns, with
that philosophical ejaculation of
Jaeob Faithful, "Better luok noxt
time."
It has boon rcmarkod that if a
man wants to known his faults ho

discover bi? virtue.* ho hus only to
die.

Professor Duncan, among the ablest
of European astronomers, has lately
declared that thoro is strong evidence
that tho earth is a solid body now
cooling, becauso tho deeper the
penetrations into mines, or of bor
iuga into the earth, the hotter is the
temperature ; aud if the temperature
continues to increase at depths to
which mat) can not reach, in the
same ratio that it doGS at depths to
which ho can reach, a temperature
of 3,680 degrees would bo found at a
depth of forty live miles. At this

cooling, as it cools the rocks must
contract?moreover, thoso rocks
which are rich in silica will not
contract so rapidly on cooling as
others, and consequently heroin is a
source of change in tho shauo of tho
earth. Professor Duncan says it is
well known that surface changed aro
going on ; that aomc largo areas of
land aro in conreo of slow rising,
while others aro slowly sinking, and
that at one geolopioal period there
wea a great upheaval of (he larger
portion of the continent of Worth
America. lie concludes, therefore,
that the globe is cooling unequally ;

to church and greet tho people and

chance to go to town and receive tho
greetings of etuiling friends and buy

these evils tor the sake of having a
chicken for supper, or a bit of beet,

things can ho obtained by labor.
And when a man is hard run and
can't find work every day, ho will
do better to b? g a morsel, than to

Eahs.?Largo ears,
says a theorist, mounting.bis hobby,
bears things in general, and denote
broad, comprehensive views and
modes of thought, while small ears
bear things in particular and show
a disposition to individualise, often
accompanied by the love of the
minute. Large oar* are usually
satisfiod with learning the leading
facts of a case, with the geneial
principles involved ; too strict an attention
to tho enumeration of tho details,
cspccially all repetition of the
unimportant, is wcarisomo to them.
People with such cars like gene
rality, and arc usually fitted to con-'
duct largo enterprises; to rcceivo
and pay out money in largo sums ;
thoy prefer to give with a free hand,
without reference to tho amount.
Small ears, on the contrary, desire
to know tho particulars of a story, as
well as tho main facts ; take delight
often in examining, handling, or

would, in most cases, prefer a retail
to a wholesale business.
