Precious Stones.

What, we may ask, have been the
sources of that fascination which pre-
cious stones have, froIl time immemo-
rial, exercised over the minds of men?
How came it that in this nineteenth
century little diamond not half the
weight of a sixpence will sell for 1907,
and as small q ruby for 600l or 7OOH
Just as in the days Of the Triumvirate
the opal of Nonias, a stone no bigger
than hazel nut, was valued at 20,O00l.
OF our money (vicies HS.;) yet its own
err went penniless into exile rather than
surrender it to the greed of Mare An
thony!
What can thus gift these little bits of
stone with such extraordinary value?
What. sort of a passion is it that would
seem so little restrained by conscience
or by reason? To say that it is meer
cupidity is not to explain it. The mag
nation certainly enhances the pleasure
derived from the beauty of a diamond,
a ruby, a sapphire, or an emerald; for
only an eye trained by custom, orinstruc-
ted by science, can distinguish these
stones from their glass counterfeits. 1t
is not, therefore, this beauty alone that
gives them their valne. Nor is it their
adaptation for practical uses that confers
on them this quality; for, except in the
limited application of diamond dust, to
what useful purposes are these stones
applied? Nor is it their mere rarity,
else would an ounce of PLATINUM be
worth a thousand times more instead of
four times less than an ounce of gold,
and many substance in nature would
be precious far beyond the diamond.
It is not, then, the desire merely to pos
sess what others have not. It is rather
the passion for doing what others do,
and possessing what it is the fashion to
possess, that gives these tiny stones
their price. They are pretty objects,
and are comparatively rare, and they
have the advantage of being almost in
destructable, in consequence Of their
hardness. But what makes them worth
many pounds to the grain is that they
have acquired by tradition q prestige
which fashion perpetuates; a prestige
rooted in strange attributes and mystic
powers wherewith the fancies Of five
thousand years have endowed such
stones; a fashion that has been ever pam
dered to by harpy host of money
making parasites, and has been fostered
by that human weakness which, while
endeavering to associate what is pretty
with what is costly in the materials
chosen for personal ornament, is apt to
attach more Importance to their price
than their real beauty, in proportion as
cupidity is a passion more common
than refinementa and taste.

honest and respectable god, so he re-
fused to entertain the idea.

honest and respectable god, so he re-
fused to entertain the idea.
Neptune did some good things in his
time. 1t is said that he and Minerva
contended for the right to name the city
of Athens, and the gods declared in
favor of the one who should produce the
articles most useful to man.
Neptune struck the earth with his tri-
dent, and forth sprang a horse, while
Minerva produced an olive branch. 1t
was decided in her favor, and very
rightly, for although horses may be use
full for riding and sausage making pur-
poses, what would have been the con-
dition of the earth had there been no
olive Oil to put on lobster?
Neptune was considerably affected by
this decision, and turned aside to hide
his emotion, although there was really
no necessity for it, as the gods would not
have stolen it, each one having quite
enough of his own.
The horse was very good in his way,
however, and Neptune multiplying him,
took the quorient and established a corps
marine.
Many persons have supposed that
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter
were the children of Neptune. This is
not the case, for although they are called
seasons, the name is modern one, and
has no allusion to their parentage.

THE SHADOW OF CHILDHooD.-God
bless the little children! We like their
bright eyes, their happy faces, their
winning ways, their rosy dreams =
Nothing seems to weigh down their
buoyant spirits long; misfortune may
fall to their lot, but the shadows it cast
upon their life-path are fleeing as the
clouds That come and go in an April
sky. Their future may, perchance,
appear dark to others, but to their fear
less gaze it looms up brilliant and beau
tiful as the walls of a fairy palace. There
is no tear which mothers gentle hand
cannot wipe away, no wound that a
mothers kiss cannot heal, no anguish
which the sweet murmuring of her soft,
low voice cannot soothe. The warm,
generous impulses of their nature have
not yet learned to veil a hollow heart
with false smiles or hide the basest pur-
poses beneath honeyed words. Neither
are they constantly on the alert to search
out our faults and foibles with Argus
eyes; on the contrary, they exercise
that blessed charity which thinketh
no evil"

Gems Of Thought.

The passion Of acquiring riches in
order to support vain expense, corrupts
the pureSt souls.
Life after all is but bundle OF hints,
each suggesting actual and positive de-
velopment, but rarely teaching it.
Friendship with all, entangling aili
ances with none," is as good a motto for
women as for nations.
10 not affect q motive in love. 1T Is
not question of motive but of fact,
Don't marry to do good. The end does
not sanctify the means.
A man is not qualified for his life
duties till he has graduated in the high
school of true Woman's heart.
When a gloom falls upon us, it may
be we have entered into the cloud that
will give its gentle showers to re-
fresh us.
The credulity of the common people
never works by halves they believe
without proof, and perceive the cause OF
what never happened.
Courage does not CONSIST in feeling no
fear, but in conquering fear. He is the
hero, who, seeing the lions on either
side, goes straight on, because there his
duty lies.
For a grand nature in ruins we may
have tender and mournful reverence.
For nature which we thought grand,
but which proved to be petty, we have
only contempt.
In a brightspring morning our winged
thoughts and fancies, the birds cur
bosom, fly off, to hop and sing and fut-
ter among their woodland kindred.
He who drags into book pages a phase
or two of the great life of passion, of en-
durance, of love, of sorrow, is not wet
ting a feather in the sea that breaks
ceaselessly along the great shore of the
years.
He who, in his perplexity, resorts to
falsehood, may seem secure for q little
while, but it is sure to be overwhelmed
with greater perplexity than before, just
as the man who, in a shower, takes
refuge under tree, is protected at first,
and then finds himself worse drenched
than ever.

What Hope Did.

1t stole on its pinions to the bed of
disease; the sufferers frown became a
smile-the emblem Of peace and love.
1t went to the house of mourning, ana
from the lips Of sorrow there came sweet
and cheerful songs.
1t laid its head upon the arm of the
poor, which stretched forth at the COM
mand of unholy impulses, and saved
him from disgrace and ruin.
1t dWells like Il living thing in the
bosom of the mother, whose son tarried
long after the promised time of his
coming, and saved her from desolation
and the ''eare that killeth."
1t lowered about the head of the
youth who had become the Ishmael of
society and led him on to works which
even his enemies praised.
1t snatched a maiden from the jaws OF
death, and went with an old man to
heaven.
No hope! my good brother. Have it
keep it always with you. Wrestle
with it that it may not depart. 1t may
repay your pains. Life is hard enough
at best, but hope shall lead you over its
mountains, and sustain you amid it's
pillows. Part with all besides but keep
thy hope.

morning blind indeed, without any pre-
ceding infrmity in his eyes. Martial
tells the story of C@lius, who pretended
to have the govt, to keep from going
abroad and to color the pretence anoint-
ed his legs, and wrapped them up in
great swathings, till finally he got the
govt in reality. There is an account of
one who to escape the prescriptions Of
the Triumvir of Rome, put a plaster
over one eye, pretending that he was
blind in it, and when he took the plaster
off he found the sight was absolutely
gone.
In illustrating that chance has more
judgment than mortals, an old writer
adduces the case of man who throwing
a stone at dog, hit and killed his
mother-in-law but the following is a
much prettier and less cynical example;
90 The painter Protogenese, having fin
ished the picture of a dog tired and
painting from the chase, but being I'M
able to express upon canvass to his salts
faction the SLAYER and foam that should
come from the dogs mouth, took his
sponge, which, by cleansing his brushes,
had imbibed several sorts of colors, and
threw it in q rage against the picture,
with an intent utterly to deface it,when
fortune, guiding the sponge to hit Just
upon the dogs mouth, it there perform
ed what all his art was not able to do"
