A~FINE FAM1LY-As to the prolific ca
pacity of the natives of Central Africa. the
following incident is testimony: At a
village. named Goa. Dr. Barth made ac-
quaintance with its chief. one Dood, whom,
to get rid of the exigent swarm of his sable
attendants, he invited to call upon him next
morning, attended only by his sons. Be-
fore sunrise Dood appeared with forty grown
up men or strong striplings, saying he did
rot like to bring the little ones for fear Of
trespassing on his visitors generosity. Be-
ing asked how many he had, he began to
count them by breaking a reed into small
pieces, (none of these negroes can count
beyond ten, and calling over ten names as
he placed piece before him on the deck.
and, omitting the babies. be made the sum
total seventy-three.

parency causes some rather puzzling phe-
nomena. Substance increases in weight
without any apparent cause for instance, a
plant goes on increasing in weight hundred
fold for every atom that is missing from the
earth in which it is growing. Now the
simple explanation of this is that leaves of
plants have the power of Withdrawing the
invisible charcoal from the atmosphere. and
restoring it to its visible state in some shape
or other. The lungs of animals and a smoke
less furnace change matter from its visible
to its invisible state. The gills of fishes and
the leaves of plants reverse this operation,
rendering invisible or gaseous matter visible.
Thus the balance in nature is maintained,
although the continual change has been 60
ing on long prior to the creation of the
extinct animals. ."-Piesse

Beautiful, Because True.

Our home below should typify the home we seek
above:
How shall we gain the blessinge We are told that
God is love.
Each to the hu,nblest dwelling place the graces
may impart
OF a meek and lowly spirit-of true and tender
heart.
Forbearance, kindness, patience, trust-then these
shall prove stay,
When youth dcclin 8, when pleasure falls and
riches pass away;
And though. beyond our calm abode, we gaze on
mist and gloom,
Sweet peace shall shine within-for tits the heart
that makes the home.
One heart alone, cannot make truly happy
home. There must be a sun and moon in every
sphere-one to give, and the other to receiue and
reflect the light. PARADISE.

Materials in their Invisible State.

If piece of silver be put into nitric acid.
clear and colorless liquid, it is rapidly dis
solved and vanishes from the sight. The
solution of silver may be mixed with water
and to appearance no effect whatever is pro-
duced. Thus, in pail of water we may
dissolve and render invisible more than ten
pounds worth of silver. lead and iron; but
every other metal can be treated in the same
way, with similar results. When charcoal
is burned, when candles are burned, when
paper is burned, these substances all disap-
pear and become invisible. In fact, every
material which is visible can, by certain
treatment. be rendered invisible Matter
which. in one condition, is perfectly opaque
and will not admit the least ray of light to
pass through it. will in another form become
quite transparent. The cause of this won
derful effect of the condition of the matter is
utterly inexplainable. Philosophers do not
even broach theories upon the subject, much
less do they endeavor to explain it The
substances dissolved in water or burned in
the air are not however destroyed or lost.
By certain well known means they can be
recovered and again be made visible; some

their invisibility: others thoug h not in the
same state, can be shown in their elemen-
tary condition and thus it can be proved
that. having once existed, it never ceases to
exist, although it can change it's condition
like the caterpillar, which becomes chry-
sails. and then gorgeous butterfly. If a
pailful of the solution of silver be cast into
the stream, it is apparently lost by its dis
persion in the water but it nevertheless
continues to exist. So when a bushel of
charcoal is burned IN stove it disappears,
in consequence of the gas produced being
mixed with the vast atmosphere !; but yet the
charcoal is still in the air. On the bright
est and sunniest day. when every object can
be distinctly seen above the horizon, hun

COOP LUCK Some young men talk about
luck. Good luck was to get up at six o.
clock in the morning good luck, if you had
only shilling week. was to live upon
elevenpence and save penny; good luck
was to trouble your heads with your own
business. and to let your neighbors alone
good luck was to fulfill the commandments,
and do unto other people as we wished them
to do unto us. They must not only plod
and persevere. Pence must be taken care
Of, because they were the seeds of guineas
To get on in the world. they must take care
of home. sweep their own doorways clean,
try and help other people, avoid temptations.
and have faith in truth and God. De

YouNc G1RLs.-To our thinking there is
no more exquisite creature on the earth than
girl from twelve to fifteen years of age.
There is period in the summers morning,
known only to early risers. which combines
all the tenderness of the dawn with nearly
all the splendor of the day. There is at
least full promise Of the dazzling noon; but
yet the dew-drop glistens on the half-opened
flower, and yet the birds sing with rapture
their awakening song. So. too, in the
morning of a girls life there is time like
this. when the rising glory of womanhood
sparkles from the sports of an infant. and
the elegance of queenly grace adorns the
gambols of babyhood. Unimpeded yet by
the sweeping raiment to which she foolishly
aspires, she glides amongst her grosser
play-fellows like royal yacht amongst a
fleet of coal l-barges. Unconsciousness (alas
how soon to DEPART has all the effect Of the
highest breeding; freedom gives her ele-
gance, and health adorns her with beauty.
Indeed, it seems to be the peculiar province
of her sex to redeem this part of life from

Fellow CITIZENS -Lull not yourselves
into fatal security. Be prepared for every
contingency. This is our only hope for a
sure and honorable peace. If our enemy
was to-day convinced that the feast herein
indicated would welcome him in every quar-
ter of this Confederacy. we know his base
character well enough to feel assured he
would never come. Let. then, the smoke
of your homes, fired by women's hands. tell
the approaching foe that over sword and
bayonet they will rush only to fire and ruin.
We have faith in God and faith in you.
He is blind to every indication of Providence
who has not seen an Almighty hand control
ling the events of the past year. The wind.
the wave, the cloud, the mist. the sunshine
and the storm have all ministered to our
necessities. and frequently succored US in
our distresses. We deem it unnecessary to
recount the numerous instances which have
called forth our gratitude. We would join
you in thanksgiving and praise. IF God
be for US, who can be against US p
Nor would we condemn your confident
look to our armies. when they can meet with
a foe not too greatly their superior in num-
bers. The year past tells story of hero
ism and success, Of which our nation will
never be ashamed. These considerations.
however, should only stimulate US to greater
deeds and nobler efforts. An occasional
reverse we must expect-such as has de-
pressed US within the last few days This
is only temporary.
We have no fears of the result-the final
issue. You and we may have to sacrifice
our lives and fortunes in the holy cause
but our honor will be saved untarnished,
and our children's children will rise up to
call US "blessed." -

A Rogue Elephant"

The natives have their stories about these
rogues, and the following. taken down from
the narrator's lips. is worth quotation:
"In 1847 or 1916 I was superintendent
of cocoa-nut estate belonging to Mr.. Ar
mitage, situated about twelve miles from
Negombo. A rogue elephant did consider
able injury to the estate at that time; and
one day. hearing that it was then on the
plantation, Mr. Lindsay, an Englishman,
who was proprietor of the adjoining proper
ty, and myself, accompanied by seven or
eight people of the neig ighboring village, went
out, carrying with us six rifles loaded and
primed. We continued to walk along path
which, near one of its turns, had some BUSH
es on one side. We had calculated to come
up with the brute where it had been seen
half an hour before; but no sooner had one
of our men, who was walking foremost, seen
the animal at distance of some fifteen or
twenty fathoms. than he exclaimed: There!
therev and Immediately took to his heels,
and we all followed the example. The ele-
phant did not see US until we had run some
fifteen or twenty PAGES from the spot where
we turned, when he gave us chase, scream
ing frightfully as he came on. The Eng
lishman managed to climb tree. and the
rest of my companions did the same as for
myself could not. although made one or
two superhuman efforts But there was no
time to be lost. The elephant was running
at me with his trunk bent down in curve
toward the ground At this critical mo-
ment Mr.. Lindsay held out his foot to me,
with the, help of which and then of the
branches Of the tree. which were three,s

came directly to the tree and attempted to-
force It down, which he could not. He first
coiled his trunk round the stem. and pulled
it with all his might. but with no effect.
He then applied his head to the tree. and
pushed it for several minutes, but with no
better success He then trampled with his
feet all the projecting roots. moving. as he
did so, several times round and round the
tree Lastly, failing in all this, and seeing
pile of timber which had lately cut, at
short distance from us, he removed it all.
(thirty-six pieces.) one at time. to the
root Of the tree and piled them up in regu-
lar business-like manner; then placing his
hind feet on this. he raised the fore part of
his body. and reached out his trunk; but
still he could not touch us. as we we're to-
far above him. The Englishman then fired.
and the ball took effect somewhere on the
elephants head. but did not kill him. 1t
made him only the more furious. The next
shot. however. leveled him to the ground
