A BIRMINGHAM Psychologist, one DR.. Bennett,
has started the theory that there are six senses
instead of FIVE. ''If," says the Doctor, ''two
cubes, gilded over to look alike and made of
the same temperature-the one of lead, the
other woodland laid before man, none OF
his FIVE senses will tell him which is wood,
which is lead. He must feel their weight ;
and it seems as if physilogists would have
eventually to agree to call this, the sense of
weight, the sixth sense"

Need of Divine Aid,

Walk before me and be thou perfect" !"
Thus said God unto Abraham and bv
these words we are instructed that to live
in the presence of God isthe way to per-
fection. Whenever We depart from that
way it is by losing sight of God, and for
getting our dependence upon him. God
is the light which we see and the end to
which we should aim. In all the trans
actions and different events of our life,
We should consider only the order of his
providence, and should maintain sense
of his presence in the midst of all our
affairs. 81 will lift up mine eyes to the
hills, from whence cometh my help"
Depending upon our feet is not sufficient
for cur deliverance from the innumerable
snares that surround us the danger, in
deed, is below, but the deliverance can
onl ly come from above thither must we
raise our eyes to him from whom our help
cometh. We are continually encompass
ed by our enemies nor are we, on ac-
count of our infirmlties, in less danger
from within; there is no hope, for us in
Jesus Christ, who has overcome the world
for himself and for us; his omnipresence
will support our weakness-Fenelon.

How People Treat Each Other.

Not one man in thousand sees those
with whom he associates as they really
are. IF the prayers of Burns were grant
ed, and we could all see ourselves as 9TH
ers see us, our selfestimates would in all
probability be much more erroneous than
they are now. The truth is, that we
regard each other through variety of
lenses, no one of which is correct Pas
sion and prejudice, love and hate, benev-
olence and envy, spectacle our eyes and
utterly prevent us from observing accu-
rately. Many whom we deem the porce-
lian of human clay arc mere dirt and a
greater number of those we put down in
our black book" are no farther off from
Heaven, and perchance a little nearer
than the censors who condemn them.
We habitually undervalue each other,
and in estimating character the shrewd-
est of us only now and then make true
appraisal of the virtues and defects of
even our closest intimates. 1t is not just
or fair to look at character from a stand
point of ones own selection a mans
profile may be unprepossessing, and yet his
full face agreeable. The merchant, who
gives curt answers in his counting ghouse,
may be tender husband and father, and
kind helper of the desolate and oppres-
sed On the other hand, your good hu-
mored person, who is all smiles and sun
shine in public, may carry something as
hard as the neither milestone, in the place
where his heart ought to be. Such ano-
males are common There is no COM
fort, however, for those whose misjudge-
ments of theirfellow mortals lean to the
kindly side-such mistakes go to their
credit in the great account He who
thinks better of his neighbors than they
deserve cannot be a bad man, for the
standard by which his judgment is guild
ed, is the goodness of his own heart
1t is only the base who believe all men
base-or, in other words, like themselves.
Few, however, are all evil. Even Nero
did good turn to somebody for, when
Rome was rejoicing over his death, some
loving hand covered his grave with flow
ers. Public men are seldom or never
fairly judged-at least, while living
However corrupt, they are sure to find
eulogists. History may do them justice /:
but they rarely get it while living, either
from friend or foe.- Ger. TEL

A Secret of Youth.

There are women wo cannot grow old
women who, without any special effort,
remain always young and always attract
i've. The number is smaller than it
should be, but there is still a sufficient
number to mark the difference between
this class and the other. The secret of
this perpetual youth lies not in beauty,
for some women possess it who are not
at all handsome nor in dress, for they
are frequently careless in that respect, so
far as the mere arbitrary dictates of fash
len are concerned /; nor in having moth
to do, for these ever young women are
always as busy as bees, and it is very
well known that idleness will fret people
into old age and ugliness faster than over
work The charm, we imagine, lies in a
sunny temper-neither more nor less
the blessed gift of always looking on the
bright side of life, and of stretching the
mantle of charity over everybody's faults
and failings. 1t is not much of a secret,
but it is all that we have been able to
discover, and we have watched such with
great intrest, and determination to re-
port truthfuliy for the benefit of the rest
of the sex. 1t is very provoking that it
is something which canuot be corded up
and sold for fifty cents bottle; but as
this is impossible, why the rest ofus will
have to keep on growing old, and ugly,
and disagrceable, as usual.-Jeaay June

Sailing Down CUCUMBERs FOR
PICKELs.-Leave half-inch of stem
on cucumbers--wash them in cold
water--immediately pack with salt
in alternate layers, salt next to wood
--one barrel salt to five of cucmbers.
Fill barrel full, putting salt on top
cut a wide board so as just to fit
inside of barrel bore half dozen
half-inch holes through---place it on
pickles with a stone on, which should
weigh at least twenty-five pounds, so
as to keep the pickles always in
brine. Take offall scum which rises.
Keep the barrels in the shade, and
in four weeks take off stone and fill
to top, as they will settle some. Put
more salt on, then head up, and they
are ready for market. 1t is best to
have two sizes of pickles. CouRtyy
