In this great world of sunshine aud
shadow, We are constantly casting shad-
ows on those around us, and receiving
shadows from them in return. There is
no pathway in life which is not some
times in the shade, and there is no one
who walks over these paths, it matters
not which way they tend, who does not.
now and then, cast shadows on the rest
How often do we, by mere thoughtless
word or careless act, cast shadow on
some heart which is longing for sunlight
How often does the husband, by cold
greeting, cast a gloom over the happy,
trusting face of his young wife, who. it
may be, has waited anxiously for the first
sound Of his footsteps to give him a joy
Gus welcome to his home How often
has the parent, by harsh reproof, chill
ed the ever flowing spirit Of confidence
and love which is bubbling up from the
fountains of the heart Of the innocent
prattler at his knee. How often are the
bright rays of hope torn from the cling
ing grasp of the souls of those worn out
by poverty and by the never ending con-
flict Of life. by the singing ridicule, or
the sordid avarice of those whom the
world honors-aye, loves to honor. How
often does the child, even after it has
grown to the full bloom of manhood, and
is clad in garments of strength and beau
ty-bring sorrow to the parent already
totterlng on the brink of eternity. Then
beware, lest you cast deeper shadow
over those which are already darkening
his happiness. The shadows We cast
can We escape them? ? Can we look back.

How THE LAKE SUPERIOR COUNTRY
GRows.-Twenty years ago. Lake Su.
perior was considered farther out of the
world, even from Detroit, than San
Francisco is to-day Marquette was
then unknown Eleven years ago the
first steamboat floated on the bosom ol
the king of fresh waters, and at that time,
one or two horses were found sufficie
to transport over the portage of the Sault
all the supplies required on the entire
south coast of Lake Superior. Now ten
large steamers, making an aggregate Of
more than one hundred trips in season,
are unable to satisfy the increasing de-
mand for supplies in that same region.
Where ten years ago few log cabins
alone marked the site of village, or
city, the population is now numbered by
thousands. Five years ago the iron ex.
ported from Marquette was scarcely suf-
fcient in quantity to merit the title of a
district branch of trade, reaching only
the amount Of fourteen hundred tons, and
yet such has been the increase of this
branch Of industry, that during the past
season nearly one hundred and fifty thou
sand tons of ore have been shipped from
this port, thus giving steady and lucra-
tive employment to the numerous fleet
Of vessels, which must otherwise have
laid idle, or at best, been engaged in a
very Improbable trade. And Marquette
is but one point Buffalo Republic.

They had wedding sensation" at
the rural town of Wellsvile, Pa, some
days ago. After being married in " York
State" where licenses are not necessary,
the happy couple, attended by tail,
gaunt, shrewish sister Of the bride, re-
turned to Wellsville to sleep at hotel
The bride and her sister had made pri-
va.e arrangement that the latter should
sleep in the same room with the married
pair. to which the husband demurred.
A scene occurred at the door of the bed

were witnesses. Shrewish sister tried to
get in after the couple had retired. Hus.

Bride, from under the bed clothes, told

bride not to "cut up SO much" Bride
vowed she ",could cut up as much as
she'd mind to-" Sister persevered,
and finally the Disguised bridegroom. in

the door, rushed out among the crowd,
and told the females to go bring the " old

DIRr.-Old DR.. Cooper, OF South Car
olina. used to say to his students,
Don't be afraid of little dirt, young
gentlemen. What is dirt? Why moth.
ing at all offensive, when chem ically
viewed. Rub little alkali upon that
" dirty greasespot " on your coat. and it
undergoes chemical change and be-
comes soap. Now rub it with little
water and it disappears it is neither
greese, soap, water, nor dirt. That is
not very odorous pile of dirt you OBJ
serve there. Well, scatter little gvp.
sum over it and it is no longer dirty.
Everything you call dirt is worthy of
your notice as students of chemistry
Analyze it 1t will all separate into
very clean elements. Dirt makes corn,
corn makes bread and meat, and that
makes very sweet young lady that l
saw one of you kissing last night. So,
after all. you were kissing dirt, particu-
larly If she whitens her face with chalk
or fuller's earth. There is no telling,
young gentlemen, what is dirt

man closed recent lecture by giving
the following sensible advice to young
men:
If therefore you wish for clear
mind, strong muscles, and quiet nerves,
and long life and power prolonged into

drinks but water, and mild infusions of
that fluid ; shun tobacco and opium, and
everything else that disturbs the normal
state of the system; rely upon nutricious
food, mild dilutent drinks Of which wa
ter is the basis, and you will need no.
thing beyond beyond these things except
rest and due moral regulation Of all your
powers, to give you long, happy, and use
full lives, and serene evening at the

A SPEECH WITHOUT WORDS.

I'll tell you story of how once sa
we'd my life, entirely through having
learned the deaf and dumb alphabet.
There were two little boys who used
to come and stay with Frank and me
when We were first married, and the,
could neither hear nor speak.
They were deaf and dumb; they
could not talk except with their fingers
-so-only ever so much quicker.
Frank and | learned this foreign al
phabet on purpose that we might under
stand what these two poor lads nigh
say They were quick and clever they
could read and write, aye, and draw and
sew, and many other things which mos
boys would make but poor hand at.
They could play at draughts and
backgammon, and chess and fox anc
geese, as well as any other boys. They
could almost see what we said, though
they could not hear, with such quick
eager faces did they watch every move
ment Of our lips. We soon, however
got to talk as easily with our fingers al
our tongues; and sometimes when tn,
lads were not with US, we used to con.
verse in that manner for practice.

Years may pass over her head, but il

That rose has not faded yeti will new
