our external knowledge of electricity is, that
the fame of a blow bipe is from twenty to
thirty times more electric than an ordinary

come to, tha: there is voltaic current, and
that of mean intensity, due to fame, and

CHILDREN.-Christ, in blessing the little
ones of Judea, blessed ali children; and
meant that we should reverence them as the
hope of the world. How, when life grows
dark before us-when its woes oppress, and
its crime appals, we turn instinctively to lit
tie children, with their brave, sunny faces O.
faith and good cheer-their eyes of uncon
scious prophecy, and drink from the full
fountain of their fresh young natures, cour,
age and comfort and deep draughts of di
vine love and constancy. How child's
pure kiss drops the very honey of heaven
into the heart soured by worldly misfor,
tune how childs sweet smile falls like
oil on the waters Of thoughts vexed by
worldly care, and smoothes them into peace

Labor.
Labor with willing hand,
Labor with q cheerful heart,
Thou vert made TO live and toll,
Whay refuse to do thy parti
Labor while the morning sun
Lends It's cheerful beams to earth
Labor till the silver moon
Doth proclaim the evenings birth.
Labor with thy rugged hands,
God hath made them for such use
Labor with thine active mind,
Never mental toll refuse.
Labor ever while life lasts,
Soon thy heart shall cease to beat
Labor till thy life shall close,
For its fruits are sure and sweet.
Labor--all should love to toll;
s All should be its willing friends,
None should ever hate to work,
Labor God himself defends.

Labor in thy chosen path
Seek thine own true sphere in life.

ONE of Our exchanges contains the adver-
tisement of a " Retired Physician" who de-
clares that he is seventy-five years of age, and
that he has lost his father, two brothers,
daughter, son-in law, nephews, and nieces,
by consumption, and was in fair way to lose
himself, when he suddenly bethought him
self of going to Japan, as everybody knows
that Japan is favorite resort for Christian
invalids, the inhabitants being so hospitable
and such capital nurses. While ha was

IMPORTANT facts have been met with by
NJ. Becquerel, in his electrical researches
He finds that electricity is largely produced
by the mere contact Of earth with water
the fall of rain along the shores of rivers
and lakes, and still more so by the sea, the
water being positive, the land negative
Investigation of the phenomena led to re.
inarkable results, especially when carried on
near river. Alkaline streams take up pos
tive electricity; acid streams, negative elec
tricity; and along the margin where land
and water meet, electric currents are devel
oped at times sufficiently strong to affect a
telegraphic needle some miles distant. An
indication is here perceived of the cause Of
the different nature of fcIouds-the difference
of the exhalations. As the water evaporates,
it carries off the electricity hence a power.

Gently visited different tribes Of Indians, end

yet we have not found one which approaches
to grace or beauty. As general thing,
they are slovenly, and fit subjects for q soap
