ArmOr OIL.

This is an article lately introduced among the
troops for cleaning, polishing, and prevention
ofrust to their muskets and other arms. truly
useful and important invention, adapted exactly
to the purpose, saving much time, trouble, and

one application will prevent rust for days. no
matter how exposed It may be to humidity and
wet weather. Whenever introduced among the
troops, an immediate and rapid demand has
followed.
For machinery and lubrioating purposes, this
oil has no superior. 1t has been in use at Gov

Illusions OF Life.

Man is never satisfied with his lot The
heart demands something more something
higher, something better, whatever blessings
he may already enjoy. The scriptural Adam
and Eve are typical. The garden of Eden
is ours. We bask in its sunshine, the fra
grant flowers are all around US, plentiful
fruits invite US to parake Of their richcs.-
Well were it for this physical frame if we
knew of no fruit forbidden us to taste. For
what is beyond our reach tempts us more
than anything else and 10 obtaining it we
exile ourselves from Paradise Remorsc for
,transgression is the flaming sword that pre-
vents our return.
Realities never content us. The present
is probably as fine valley as there is in the
whole region of life But the woods are
nothing but ods--shady, it is true, and
green, quite ldinary. The streams are cx-
celent, but we would have beds OF pearl in
stead of those deccitful pebbles. All there
must be woods and swcetor streams beyond
the blue hills yonder. So we travel; but
the soft and dreamy future becomes plain,
hard reality as we proceed. These very
rocks we now tread once looked lovely under
the warm haze Of hope; 50 shall the charm
of the nights before us melt away, aud show
us as we climb, just such lodges, gnarled
oaks chasms, morasses, wild pines and bar
rem slopes as we have passed.
1t is not without desi m that nature cheats
rus with these illusions. Continually striving
for more exquisite beauty and higher happl-
ness we fulfill law. 1t is well that no ma
.terial paradise is sufficient paradise for u.s.
IN this circumstance of his being, man differs
from the animal. The lion in the desert,
the tiger IN ,uo Juugic, the ape in the woods
has no aspirations above his state But the
tendency of the soul is upsard- upward
forever. What mock,ry this life would be
If the grave were the end Of all things it
after chasing golden butterflies or illusions
through all the summer dOys, death on y met
our embrace? if the actors in this drama
emerge not from behind the scenes in theil
true character after the funeral curtain iall'
upon the last act OF lite.

Going to Church.

Mother, | don't want to 20 to church
The speaker, a little bright-eycd boy, looked
up into his mothers face with evident doubt

heart by living the life ola Christian. Chill.

day with him, asked :-"Why do you en-
dcavor to get all your children to church
whether they wish to 90 or not You know
that many do not approve of such course.
