INTELLECTUAL IMPROVEMENT,

Every one knows that there is a
vast difference of ability in different
minds but it is not SO distinctly un.
derstood that every ones ability may
be increased or strengthened by a
kind of culture, which is intended, not
to add to the stock of knowledge, but
to increase intellectual powers. Let
us reflect moment that God has Civ.
en- us powers of intellect which He in.
tended should last so long as we live
ed and that if we shall be prepared,
at death, to enter the world of happi-
ness, they will go on expanding forev.
er, adding not only to our means, but
to our capacities of enjoyment. The
mass of mankind consider the intellect.
ual powers as susceptible Of a certain
degree of development in childhood to
perpare the individual for the active
duties of life. This degree of progress
they suppose to be made before the age
of twenty is attained, and thus they
talk OF an education being finished .
Now, if parents wish to convey the
idea that their daughter has closed hel
education at school, or the seminary
or their son closed his professional
studies and is ready to commence prac
tice,--there is perhaps, no strong OBJ

Color OF HoRsEs.-A proverb says
a good horse cannot be of bay
color" Domestication appears to have
the effect of multiplying the color of
animals. The prevailing color of the
wild species is the bay; Foster says
that among the troops he saw in Cen
trail Asia, the dun and greyish-brown
colors were the most frequent. Bell
Judges the chestnut to be the most
common in Tartarian districts. -..-
Sir Francis Head states that many
of the horses of the Pampas are pie.
bald. The black is rarely found
among the Arabians. The leopard
spotted are said to- be frequent IN
China. In England it ranges from
milk-white to coal-black. Some per-
sons are inclined to give the prefer
ence to the darker colors, from the
fact that, among animals generally,
the lighter the skin, the weaker the
energy. Lord Bacon seems to have
entertained the same idea when he as
serted white to be the color Of defect.

AGRICULTURAL DHcovERY.-A Paris
letter states thata scientific gentleman
discovered two years ago, embedded
with some embalmed bodies, a species
of wheatnot then in existence. In the
time of the early Gallo kings acertain
quantity Of wheat was placed in the
coflins Of embalmed bodies. Some of
it was sown, and it yielded from six
teen to twenty stalks to a grain, while
there was on an average twenty more
grains in the head than in the ordinary
wheat. A considerable quantity Of
this ancient wheat was sown on the
government farm last fall. Great re-
ports are received of it's productive
ness. The ordinary wheat of France
is believed to be only a degeneration
of its ancient grain, deteriorated by
centuries of reproduction. This dis
covery takes France back fourteen
centuries for seed wheat, and it is ex-
pected will put her in possession Of
one-eighth more agricultural wealth
than she possessed before the discov-
cry. .'

WoMAN's GROWING CHARM.-Yes,
we agree with that old poet, who said
that a low soft voice was an excellent
thing in woman. Indeed, we feel in
clined to go much farther than he has
on the subject, and call it one of her
crowning charms. No matter wat at
fractions she may have; she may be
as fair as the Trojan HELEN, and as
learned as the famous Hypatia of an
cient times, she may have all the ac-
complishments considered necessary
at the present day and every advan-
tage that wealth can procure and yet,
if she lack a low sweet voice, she new
er be really fascinating. How often
is the spell Of beauty broken by coarse
loud talking. How often you are ire
sistibly drawn to plain unassuming
woman, whose silvery tones render
her positively attractive. Besides, we
can judge Of the character by the
voice; the bland, smooth, fawning tone
seems to us to betoken hypocrisy as
invariably as the musical subdued
voice indicates refinement. In the
social circle how pleasant it is to
hear a woman talk in that low key
which always characterizes the trne
lady. In the sanctuary of home, how
such voice soothes the fretful child
and cheers the weary husband.

GuANo.-There are at times FIVE hun
dred ships waiting for loads of guano at
the Chincha Islands. Twenty thous-
and tuns are sometimes loaded in q
single day. There is not drop of
rain and but little dew at the guano
Islands. The guano is now taken to
every civilized country in the world.
1t is estimated that the guano is two
hundred and fifty feet deep on part Of
one Of the Islands, and is so hard that
it has to be broken up with picks.
1t is dug by Chinese coolies and State
prisoners. The rock is of the new red
sandstone variety. The opinion of the
writer is that the guano is not all COM
posed Of bird dung, but of a compost
tion that was lifted up with the rockfrom
the ocean. The bird dung guano is
only the small part on the surface.
The right to remove guano is held by
Gibbs & Bright Of London.

THE GRAY MARE
Is THE BETTER HORSE.

We know that the line is in Prior's
Epilogue to Lucious but the story
from which the phrase is derived, is
something like this A gentleman
who had seen the world, one day gave
his eldest son a span of horses, a
chariot, and a basket of eggs. DO
you,' said he to the boy, travel upon
the high road until you come to the
first house in which there is married
couple. If you find that the husband
is the master there, give him one of
the horses. If on the contrary, the
wife is the ruler, give her an egg.
Return at once if you part with a
horse, but do not come back as long
as you keep both horses, and there is
an egg remaining. t,. ..-r-
Away went the boy full of his mis-
sion and just beyond the borders of
his fathers estate, 10 modest cot
ta41. He alighted from the chariot
and knocked at the door, The good
wife opened it for him and curtised.
"Is your husband at home ?" "No,
but will call him from the hay field.
In he came, wiping his brow. The
young man told him his errand. "Why,
said the wife, rolling the corner of her
apron" l always do as John wants
me to; he is my master-are you
not John 7" To which John replied,
Yes" Then said the boy, "I am to
give you horse which would you
take 2" think said John, "as how
that bay gelding seems to be the one
as would suit me best" If we have
choice, husband" said the wife, l
don't think SO the gray mare is the
best horse and never shall be con-
tented unless get that one." Well,"
said John, we'll take the gray mare,
Thank you," said the boy allow me
to give you an egg from this basket !;
it is nice fresh one, and you can boil
it hard or soft as your wife will al
low" The rest of the story you may
imagine the young man came nome
with both horses but not an egg re-
NAMED in the basket.

lection to their using the phrase that
their I" education is finished" But in
general and proper use of language,
there is no such thing as finished educa-
tions. The most successful scholar
that ever left school, took his honorary
degree at collage, never arrived at q
good place to stop in his intellectual
career. In fact, the further he advan-
ces, the more desirous he feels of going
on and if you wish to find an instance
Of the greatest eagerness and interest
with which the pursuit Of knowledge
is attended, you will find it, undoubt-
edly, in the case of the most accom-
plished and thorough scholar which
the country can furnish, who finds that
the further he goes, the more and
more widely does the boundless field
of intelligence open before him.
Let us give up all ideas of "finish-
ing our education" The sole objects
of the course of discipline at any in
stitution in our land, are not to finish,
but to show ho,o to begsu-to give an
impulse and direction to that course
which he ought to pursue with una
bated and uninterested ardor, as long
as we live. - 70.
If, now, person begins in life, even
as late as twenty, and makes it part
of his constant study, to acquire knowl-
edge, endeavoring every day to learn
something new, which he did not know
before, or to fix something new in his
mind which he was not before familiar,
he will make an almost imperceptible,
but most rapid progress. The field
of his intellectual vision will widen
and expand every year. Thus he goes
on through life, growing in knowledge
and intellectual, as well as moral pow
ers and if this spiritual progress
keeps pace, as it ought, with his in
tellectual advancement, he is, with the
divine assistance and blessing, exalt-
ing himself higher and higher in the
scale of existence. ..

Fec PowDER.-A patent has lately
been taken out in England for the
manufacture Of egg powder. The
process consists in taking fresh eggs,
breaking them, and placing their
matter'in proper shallow trays, where
they are subjected to q stream of mod
erately hot air to evaporate all the
moisture. When perfectly dry, they
are reduced to powder in a proper
mill, and are employed for the making
Of pastry, ETC. The air for drying the
eggs must not be allowed to exceed
1870 degrees the object is to evapo-
rate the moisture, and not to coagu-
late the albumen, so as to render the
egg powder soluble in water. This
manner of preparing eggs for market
might be pursued by some persons in
our rural districts, says the Scientific
American, with as much profit as pre-
pairing and drying fruit.

THANKSGIVING-DAY
IN THE HEART

Alice Tracey was bright pretty
girl Of about eight years, who, though
she often attracted the attention of
strangers, was no favorite among her
companions they never wanted her
to join them in their plays or walks
Alice often felt angry at this neglect,
for she did not clearly see why she
was treated so. '''
One day at recess, while group of
the girls were in the entry talking
about Thanksgiving, she went to wash
her slate at little shelf behind the
school-room door. 1--WE always have
such good times at grandpa's," said one
Of her cousins "Or we should have,"
said another cousin, eff it were not for
Alice Tracey she is such little fire.
brand she spoils all our fun" "Yes,
that she is I" cried all the other girls,
joining in. tits said, listeners never
hear any good of themselves, but Al.
ice could not help hearing, and what
she heard was anything but good OF
herself. @
"A firebrand, am ?" thought Al
ice, her little person swelling with an
ger and modification "Ill never
speak to those girls again )" and she
went back to her seat in very unfit
state to finish her sums. "a fire.
brand !" she kept saying to herself,
"a firebrand l wish l could burn
them all upl" and with such wicked
thoughts the little girl spent the re-
mainder of the afternoon.
When school was done, she ran
home without speaking or looking at
any one. Nobody seemed to be at
home she ranged the rooms, hoping
to find somebody, and yet hoping not
to what if her own brothers and sis
ters thought her firebrand too? At
last she found her mother looking over
the round yellow pumpkins in the
wood-house chamber. "Alice, is that
you ?" said her mother. Her moth
er's friendly tone sounded sweetly to
the child's ears, as with q bursting
heart she flung herself on, the rude
bench by her mothers side, and hid
her face in her lap. "What is the
matter 2" asked Mrs. Tracey !; "you
have been running; how very hot your
head is." II am q firebrand," cried
Alice, the girls say l am" How
is that 7" asked her mother, and pres
emily Alice related what had happen
ed "Yes, mother, they have treated
me like one for great while, and Twill
never play with them again"
"Do not make any rash promises, /"
said Mrs. Tracey" let us first see if
there is any just ground for what they
say. suppose every little girl has a
reputation among her companions,
and that reputation is pretty much
what she is is it not so?" "What
is reputation. mother ?" asked Alice.
"A good or bad name," answered
her mother "that is, if child has a
good or a bad name at school, is she
generally deserving o. it! Think a
while"
Alice thought. "The girls think
Fanny Blake good scholar, and she
is; and they think Emily Cowden is
mean, and she is; and they think
Alice was going on with her estimate
of character, when her mother asked,
And what do they think of Alice
Traeey?" The child blushed. HeI

HAY CovERs.-An old painter who
has had much experience in painting
cloth, thinks that the simple unbleach-
ed cotton sheeting, without any paint
ing at all, will answer perfectly in
turning the water from q haycock. It
is not required to hold water, but
merely to turn it, upon the principle Of
a cotton umbrella. This. will enable
every farmer to supply himself with an
excellent quality for the low price Of
eight cents apiece. 1t is asserted that
hay can be made two hours quicker
with than without them, evne when
there is no rain.
