P E T R OIL E U M.

To compress the whole subject of. Petro-
leum into a newspaper article would be a
feat more difficult of accomplishing than
any yet performed by literary prestigators
However, ! will give you, in as concise a
form as possible, the more interesting fea-
lures of the petroleum subject.
The rapid Developments of the oil-pro-
ducing territory, and the immense quantity
of petroleum that is now consumed in the
United States, has made it so familiar to
the public that an elaborate analysis of it's
properties is unnecessary 1t is natural
OIL, deposited in the earth usually at the
depth of from one hundred to six hundred
ieet' has rancid, disagreeable odor, and
is valuable for burning, lubricating and
medical purposes. Although its properties
and knowledge of the extent of its de-
posts, have but recently been known in
this country, petroleum has in reality been
known and used to some extent in every
age, running back almost to the diluvian
period.
In Egypt petroleum was used for med
icinal purposes nearly four thousand years
ago, and oil springs are still in existence
IN that country. In the latter part of the
last century, two ship cargoes of the crude
oil were transported to England to be sold
but the process of refining not being under
stood, the traffic was abandoned Under
the name of Sicilian oil, the people of Ag-
rgentum used what is known as petroleum
for the purpose of illumination, and in Par
ma there is spring of naptha which the
people apply to a like use at the present
day. In Asia Minor the oil has been known
to exist and has been used to limited ex-
tent for ages and in Persia large guam.

EARTH NOT OUR ABIDING PLACE.-Bulwer
eloqucntly says q can not believe that
earth is mans abiding place 1t can't be
that our life is cast up by the ocean of
eternity to float moment upon its waves
and then sink into nothingness Else why
is it that the glorious aspirations, which
leap like angels from the temple of our
heart, are forever wandering about unsatis-
fed? Why is it that the rainbow and
clouds come ever with beauty that is not
of earth, and then pass off and leave us to
muse upon their favored lovliness? Why
is 1t that the stars, who hold their festival
around the midnight throne, are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties, forever
mocking us with their unapproachable glo-
ry And, finally, why is it that bright
forms of human beauty are presenter to
our view, and then taken from US, leaving
the thousand streams of our affection to
flow back in Alpine torrents upon our
heart We are born for higher destiny
than that of earth there is a realm where
the rainbow never fades-where the stars
will be spread before us like islands that
slumber OH the ocean-and where the be-
ings that passed before us like shadows will
stay in our presence forever"

THE ELECTRICAL EEL-All other fishes fly
the vicinity of these formidable eels Even
the fisherman, angling from the high bank,
fears lest the damp line should convey the
shock to him from distance. To catch
them mules and horses are driven into a
marsh, which is closely surrounded by In
dians, until the uuwonted noise and distur-
bance induce the pugnacious fish to begin
the attack They are then seen swimming
about and trying to glide cunningly under
the bellies of the horses Many Of these
are stunned by the force Of the invisible
blows others, with names standing on end
foaming with wild terror sparkling in their
eyes, try to fly from the raging tempest.
But the Indians armed, with long poles of
bamboo, drive them back into the middle
of the pool. Gradually the fury of the un-
equal strife slackens. Like clouds which
have discharged their electricity the wear
led fish begin to disperse long repose and
abundant food are necessary to replace the
galvanic force which they have expended
Their shock becomes weaker. Terrified
by the noise of the trampling horses, they
timidly approach the bank, where they are
wounded by harpoons, and cautiously drawn
on shore by nonconducting pieces of dry
wood

LET US MAKE THE BEST OF 1T.

Life is but a feeting dream,
Care destroys the zest of it;
Swift it glideth like a stream
Mind you make the best of it,
Talk not of the weary woes,
Troubles, or the rest of it :;
If we have but brief repose,
Let us make the best of it!
If your friend has got heart,
There is something fine in him
Cast away his darker part,
Cling to what's divine in him.
Friendship is our best relief
Make no heartless Jest of it {:
1t will brighten every grief,
If we make the best of it.
Happiness despises state;
'Tis no sage experiment,
Simply that the wise and great
May have joy and merriment
Rank is not its spell refined
Moneys not the test of it,
But calm contented mind.
That will make the best of it.
Trusting III the Power above,
Which sustaining all of us
In one common bond of love.
Bindeth great and small Of us.
Whatsoever may befal-
Sorrows or the rest of it
We shall overcome them all,
If we make the best of it,

WE JOY IN GoD-This is every Delivers
privilege God is reconclled to him in the
person and through the work of Jesus all
charges against him are blotted out all
his sins are freely and fully forgiven he
is justified from all things, and stands be-
fore God in Christ, accepted, beloved, and
blessed. To him God is love with him
God is peace and he is now a son of God
If this is believed on the testimony of God,
and realized in the effect of faith, then God
becomes our exceeding joy, and we rejoice
with joy unspeakable and full of glory. If
we joy in frames, they change if we JOY
in friends, they die if we joy in posses
sions, they are vanity but if we JOY in
God, though the exercise Of joy may be ill
terrupted, yet the object remains eternally
the same, and we shall joy for evermorc.
Beloved, look at Jehovah in Jesus there
you see him as the Father of mercies and
God Of all comfort joy and rejoice in him
as your God, your portion, your everlast-
ing all Throughout this day, Joy in God
as your father, your Friend, and your Sa-
viOur.
JOY to find, in every station,
Something still to do or bear
Think, what Spirit dwells within thee;
Think, what Fathers smiles are thine
Think, what Jesus did to win thee
Child of heaven! canst thou repine?

A WOMAN is either worth a good deal or
nothing. If good for nothing, she is not
worth getting jealous for; if she be true
woman, she will give no cause for jealousy,
A man is a brute to be Jealous of good
woman-a fool to be jealous of worthless
one but he is double fool to cut his throat
for either of them.

MOUNT ARARAT-Mount Ararat is 5000
feet higher than Etna, and 1928 feet higher
than Mount Blanc-the latter the point Of
greatest elevation in Europe 1t is detach
ed from the other mountains of Asia, and
is divided into two conical peaks. Sir
Robert Porter paints in vivid colors the
magnifcence Of the spectacle when he first
came in sight OF Ararat, majestically rising
from d widely extended green plain, fertili-
Zed by the clear waters of the Aras, (thc
ancient Araxes,) and covered with Armeni-
an villages. In various points of view. the
summit has a striking resemblance to a
ship-a fact which has been recorded by
all travellers to the spot, and the whole
country round is full of traditionary sto-
ries relative to Noahs ark and the food.
1t is a common belief among the Armeni-
ans and Persians, that the remains of the
ark still exist on the summit. Several at
tempts have been made to reach the top
mountain but rarely have any such attempts
succeeded. Moving sands which threaten
to Overwhelm the traveller, tlinty roads
which cut his shoes to shreads, terrible
precipices, with overhanging rocks, and
above all, nests of snakes have constantly
struck terror into the stOutest hearts, and
nearly in all cases induced the abandon
ment of the enterprise. At Erwin, the Ar
menians show the spot where Noah fist
planted the vine, and the town of Nakhdjo-
van (place of descent) is believed TO mark
the spot where the patriarch first settled on
quitting the ark.

HINTS TO YOUNG GENTLEMEN.

Don't give up your seat III the cars when
you are tired with your days work, to
pert young miss who has been amusing
herself with little shopping. She will not
even thank you for it and if a man IS go
ing to sacrifice his comfort, he has reas-
enable right, at least, to expect a little
gratitude. No use being polite to some
ladies-there is an old proverb about cast
ing pearl before-what's her name? Don't
submit to be crowded off the pavement into
muddy gutter by two advancing balloons
of silk and whalebones Haven't your
newly-blacked boots as good claim TO
respect as their skirts? Look straight be-
fore you, and stand up for your rights like
a man-the ladies can contract little, II
they see there is no help for it.
Don't talk literature and the fine arts to
the pretty girls Of your acquaintance until
you are sure they know the difference be
tween Thompson's Seasons and Ihompsons
Arithmetic And if they look particularly
sentimental, then you may know that they
do not understand what you are talking
about.
Don't ask nice little girl about her
dolls, unless you are very certain she has
not "come out" and been engaged IN two
or three hirtations already.
Don't say complimentary things to ayoung
lady at party without first making sure
that her intended" is not standing behind
you the whole time
Don't accept young lady's invitation
to go shopping with der unless you have
previously measured the length Of your
purse.
Don't stay later than eleven o'clock when
you spend the evening with pretty friend
the wisest and wittiest man in Christen-
dom becomes a bore after that hour.
Don't believe any woman an angel. If
you feel and symptoms Of that disease,
take dose of sage tea and go to bed-it
is as much malady as the small pox, and
it is your business to get over it as soon
as possible An angel, indeed! If you do
not find out pretty soon that she lacks con-
siderably more than the wings, we are sad
Iy mistaken.
Don't make up your mind about any
creature in a belt ribbon and velvet rosettes
without first asking your sisters advice
Depend upon it, one woman can read all
other better in five minutes than you can
in five years.
And, above all, do not imagine that you
must keep your lady talk and gentleman
talk in separate budgets, labeled and sort
ed, unless you want the girls to laugh in
their sleeves at your wishy-washy senti-
mentalism. Talk to them in frank, manly
style, as you would to an intelligent gen
tleman. Don't suppose, because they are
women, they don't know anything.
Remember all this advice, sir, and you
may make rather less of fool Of yourself
than you would otherwise.
