A CURIOUS FACT.

Last Saturday night the people of
Newburgh wasroused from their slum-
bers by wild &long continued series of
noises in the air. Those who took the
trouble to leave their beds and examine
into tho cause of these strange noises,
found that large flock of wild geese,
returning from their winter homes to
the colder climate of the Northern
Lakes, and, continuing their north.
ward journey through the night and
storm, had been attracted and bewil-
dered by the glare of the blast furnace
at Newburgh, and were wheeling in a
vast circle round and round the light
Thus they spent the night, their irreg-
ular orbit sometimes bringing them
within hundred feet of the furnace,
and sometimes makinga circuit Of ovor
a mile. Meantime they kept up a con-
tinued and unearthly eackling,-the
noise which had first startled the New
burghers from their beds. In the
morning they found the points of the
compass again, and sailed away north

smile wnen you Can.


p The sad Of this world need your
smiles; and the world itself may be bet
ter for them. They do not cost much,
and oftentimes bring their own sweet
reward; and none but the Infinite One
can estimate the amount Of good one
liftle smile may do. For aught that
you or / may know, the gentle, sym
pathizing smile, that you gratuitously
bestow upon some unfortunate soul,
laboring beneath IL weight Of doubt
and grief, may tell upon countless
generations yet unborn. Oh, if the
people only better realized the ines.
Unable influence that 50 little an act
as smile may exert upon one or a
thousand of their fellow beings, they
would not be so penurious Of them. as
they are often prore to be. '.sal. ~,
Some people neverIsmile. Selfish
beings! Yet, perhaps, if you should
accuse these same individuals OF sell
fishncss, they would deny the charge
with a "gusto" truly worthy Of q bet
tercause. But it is selfish never to
smile. By withholding. smiles we re-
fuse of.entimes an opportunity OF man
ifcsting a thankful and happy spirit
for the good we receiSe from others
and from our GoD-to say nothing o
the opportunity we may lose OF cheer
ing and comforting some less fortu
nate one. How many times have
heard the expression, Il know she is
good woman, or that he is a good MAJ
for he smiles SO 'sweetly;' and in my
opinion, it is even possible for the sou
