Friendship.

There is scarcely word in the English
language more precious than that of friend
1t is suggestive Of much that is pleasant and
Joyous in social intercourse, and tells Of love
and solace when the heart is made sad by
trials. A friend How lone and oesolate
would be the condition of person without
this boon. In all ages and1 clmes by all
classes and sects, friendship has been sought
and honored. Who would be willing to 60
friendless into the walks Of life, to share
friendless its numerous joys, and to meet
friendless its inevitable sorrows? | think
there is no one. A true and faithful friend
is one who will tell US of our faults. 1t is
one of the severest tests of fidelity to 60 and
tell bosom companion of his faults, but It's
an easy matter to proclaim his errors
abroad. 1t costs little sclfdenial to whisper
them in the ears Of those who ought not to
be informed Of them. No person is true
friend who is not ready to be faithful ad-
wiser, willing to wound self-love in its ten
dere>t part, and give passing pain, for last
ing blessing.
In our social relations We are continually
reminded that friendship is like other
things, uncertain. One of the dark scenes
that mars human intercourse is that OF
friends speedily changed to enemies. Every
neighborhood can furnish one or more OF
these scenes 1t is no strange thing for
friends who love to-day, to hate tomorrow,
and frequently the strongest friends become
the bttcrest foes. The rich man has many
friends. And that it is the fruit of his rich.
es, in many instances, appears from the fact,
that when his wealth is gone, his friends 60
in about the same ratio. There is no Ger.
tainty about any of the possessions and en-
lor, the dearest friend, may lie low in death
tomorrow. The friendly relations Of life
are subject to change. But we forget too Of
ten what friend We have above. The
friendship that may be created between the
Savior and ourselves, are not subject to
change, at least on his part. He is the same
yesterday, to-day, and forever. SALLIE.

Mountains.

Mountains are the highest elevation Of the
earth's surface. A great many persons think
that the mountains on the earth cause it to
be an irregular body and not sphere; but
the highest mountain known rising about
IS, 900 feet is emily one five-thousandth part
OF the earths greatest circumference, and
one sixteenth -hundredth part of its diane
ter. In plains mountains are seldom found,
and when they are they are usually Of VOL
canic origin. Very frequently the mountain
chains are hundreds of miles in length. In
the lower mountain ranges the valleys be-
tween the mountains are very fertile and
well adapted to cultivation, but in the higher
chains they are dreary and not fit for man
to live in. On the side Of the mountain to-
wards the ocean it is most always rough and
steep, but towards the interior it is long
gentle slope. 1t appears that solitary noun
tains are of volcanic origin. Most all the
gold and silver that has hitherto been found,
has been found in the mountain ranges run
ming north and south. The gold and silver
that has been found in California and Aus
tralia has also been found in the mountain
ranges running north and south. A COLI
tinued line of mountains is what is called
chain or range. The highest peak of the
mountains is called the eliminating point
A mountain system consists Of number Of
ranges or chains extending in the same d.
rection and have an apparent connection
with each other. ADDlE.

CHILDREN IN RussIA,-In the life of a
Russian peasant there is period anterior to
all tunics, mantles, and even sheepskins,
during which they live a kind of mummy
life, only, unlike the Egyptian, it is the first
instead of the last stage of their existence.
For the youngest children are always swad-
died, and rolled up tight in bandages, so that
they may be conveniently put away without
risk of getting themselves into mischief or
danger. On entering one of their houses,
an enthusiastic traveller thinks he has come
upon some Pagan tribe having their idols
and penates, with the heads well carved out,
and the rest of the body in block. He .oks
curiously at one laid up on shelf, another
hung to the wall or a peg, . third swung
over one of the main beams of the roof, and
rocked by the mother who has the cord
looped over her foot. "Why, that is a
chiid!" cries the traveller, with feeling 81.
milar to that experienced on treading upon
toad which was supposed TO be a stone.
"Why, what else should it be?" answers
the mother. Having learnt SO much in SO
short time, the inquistivc traveller wishes
to inform himself about the habits of the
creature; but his curiosity being somewhat
dampened by the extreme dirt Of the little
figure, he inquiries of the parent when it is
washed. "Washed," shrieks the terrified
mother; washed!-what! wash q child !.

Strawberries.

The strawberry season Is always antici-
pated with great pleasure by children. They
blossom about the last Of May. The flowers
are white and the little folks always watch
them with great anxiety. When the flow
ers disappear, they leave little green clusters.
In about two weeks they begin to ripen.
Then is the time to lay plans for pic MICS and
strawberry excursions The best place to
find them, and where they grow to more
perfection, is around decayed old stumps.
How beautiful the bright red clusters look
When many children are gathered together
to 60 on strawberry excursions the berries
disappear into their mouths sooner than in
their baskets. Strawberries are favorite
fruit with nearly all persons, probably be-
cause they are the earliest fruit in the sea-
son. When they are cultivated carefully
they grow to very large size. Most per-
sons that have gardens have strawberries in
them. They often ripen before they have
grown on account of the suns heat being so
great. In places where the heat is milder
they have time to attain to q large size be-
fore they ripen. Then they are SO mellow
they almost melt in your mouth. II is very
pleasant to hunt after them In shady woods,
where the heavy foliage Of the trees prevents
the sun from coming on US in its intense
