brother and sister ran TO the house and
gave the alarm, but when assistance ar
rived the boy was quite dead. His knees
were on the ground, and the cord stretched
tight by the spring of the sapling. The

How TO GET AN EDUcATIoN.-Boys
say often, " we want an education, but we
are poor and father is poor, and we can't
get it so We are going to learn trade,
or get into store or do something else"
Now let me say. every boy that wants an
education, if he will bend his force to it
can get just as good one as he wants.
The way is open. Education does not
come through academies and colleges and
seminaries these are helps, but it comes
by study and reading, and comparing

will not make scholar of man withou,
these and with them man viii be one
if he never sees college. The same is
true Of girls, and what is true of this pur-
suit is true of any other. The force must
be from yourself rnd you must develop it.
1t is that indomitabIc 6 / can," that sets a
man astride ihe world.

A YOUTHFUL MuRDERER.-The scene

A YOUTHFUL MURDERER.-The scene
Of this remarkable occurrence was some
hundred and four miles sliding" on the
Memphis and Charleston railroad: Three
children Of Mr.. Roberts Ga workman at
the mill at the s'iding) went out in the
woods . few hundred yards from the house,
TO gather sticks for the fire to cook the
dinner. They were little boy of nine
years Of age, another of seven, and a little
sister of FIVE. They had with them some
small cords or strings, plated from the
rawlings Of old gunny sacks. The elder
boy it seems, had become by some means
possessed of mania on the subject of
hanging, and often spoke sometimes in
jesting way, and at other times apparently
in earnestly Of hanging himself, but his
parents had no idea that he seriously med
itated anything of the kind, or would at
tempt to carry it into effect. While out
in The woods on this occasion, he took his
smaller brother TO bush not over six feet
high. and bending it down required his
little sister to hold it bent while he tied
one Of the strings before mentioned around
his brothers neck and fastined the other
end to the top of the bush and then let it
70. The bush, however, had not sufficient
spring to strangle the little fellow, and
only choked him to a slight extent. The
elder brother then united him and took
him TO . stump which had projecting
liab, and trie d hard to hang him to it, but
he cord was not lo,g enough to tie around

WHAT A CHiNAMAN CAN ENDURE
The Chinese often endure much suffering
for their religions sake. Besides long and
fatiguing pilgrimages, they voluntarily
suffer many physical fortunes; one Of these
is the burning off Of finger on the altar of
Ningpo. A string is tied tightly around
the finger under the second knuckle ; the
hand is then surrounded by ball of clay,
and the fist doubled up leaving one finger
sticking out. Round this finger is tied
sandal-wood, which is lighted, and boiling
resin or oil poured upon it. The person
operated on sits in chair united, with the
burning hand on the altar. Nothing pre-
vents him moving his hand at any moment.
The torture will be discontinued the mo-
ment he desires it. Can we Christians
show as much living faith as that

AsTRoNo MICAL MIsCoNCEPTIoNs.-
At a recent meeting in Edinburg the chair
man said he had heard a story lately, con-
nected with an eclipse There was a young
man living in village where it was known
that al eclipse was to be visible at GER
tain time, and afterwards was asked if he
had seen the eclipse. He replied, +" No,
unfortunately have not. Just about the
very time it was to take place, my master
sent me on message some two miles into
the country, and although ran all the
way, and as hard as could, it was al
over before could get back" There
was another story told of some persons
who had visited an observatory on Gallon
Hill in Edinburg, where it was stated the
moon was 10 be seen in full orb. While
one young man was looking through the
telescope, his friends very waggishly turn
ed the tube aside so that it struck across
the opposite side of the Forth. The man
continued to look with great bewilder-
ment at seeing houses, and people walking
about, and he seemed quite delighted at
thus receiving ocular demonstration that
the moon was inhabited. At last the tele-
scope rested on signboard, and he cried
out in immense surprise, "Oh, dear me
Alloa ales sold here How on earth did
they get them up?"

- Sliggins saw note lying on the
ground, but knew it was counterfeit, and
passed on without picking it up. He told
Smithers the story, when the latter said:
I" Do you know, Sliggins, you have COM
miIted a very grave ofence?' "Why
what have l donei" " You have passed
a counterfeit bill. knowing it to be such.'

LYING IN BED.-It is often a question
among people who are acquainted with the
anatomy and physiology Of men, whether
lying with head exalted or erect with the
body is wholesome. Most. consulting their
own ease on this point, argue in favor of
that which they prefer. Now. although
many delight in bolstering up their heads
at night, and sleep soundly without injury,
yet we declare it TO be dangerous habit.
The vessels in which the blood passes from
the heart to the head are lessened in their
cavities when the head is resting in bed
higher than the body; therefore, in all
diseases attended with fever, the head
should be pretty nearly on the level with
the body and people ought to accustom
to sleep thus, and avoid danger.

In my Judgment il is to be deeply re-
GREETED that horse racing and trotting are
so much patronized The mere race horse
is useless animal; the cruel service i'm
posed is for speculation and amusement,
for no practical benefit. A bull-bait or
cock-fghting might with equal propriety
be patronized. The country seems mad
with the trotting, racing and base ball ma

The BLOOM OF AGE.-A good woman
never grows old. Years may pass over
her head, but if benevolence and virtue
dwell in her heart she is as cheerful as
when the spring Of life first opened to her
view. When we look upon good woman
we never think of her age; she looks as
charming as when the rose of youth first
bloomed on her cheek. That rose had not
faded yet; ii viii never fade. In her
neighborhood she is the friend and bene-
factor. Who does not respect and love
the woman who has passed her days in
acts of Kindness and mercy We repeat,
such woman cannot grow old. She will
always be fresh and bueyant in spirits,
and active in humble deeds of mercy and
benevolence. If the young lady desires
to retain the bloom and beauty of youth,
let her not yield to the sway Of fashion
and folly; let her love truth and virtue,
and to close off life she will retain those
feelings which now make life appear a
garden Of sweets-ever fresh and ever
new

A WESTERN WoNDER.-Th greatest
wonder in the State of Iowa and perhaps
in any other State, is what is called
Walled Lake." in Wright county, twelve
miles north of Dubuque and Pacific Rail-
way and about one hundred and fifty miles
west of Dubuque city. The lake is from
two to three feet higher than the earih's
surface. In some places the wall is ten
feet high; width at the bottom fifteen feet
and at the top, five. Another fact is the
size of the stones used in its Instruction,
the whole of them varying in weight from
three stones to one hundred pounds. There
is an abundance of stones in Wright coun-
ty, but surrounding the Lake TO the extent
Of four or five miles there are none. No
one can form an idea AS to the means en-
ployed to bring them to the spot, or who
constructed it. Around the entire lake is
a belt Of woodland, half mile in width
composed Of oak; with this exception, the
country is a rolling prairie. The trees
must have been planted there at the tms
of building the wall. In the spring o
1856. there was great storm, and the ict
on the lake broke the wall in several pla
ces, and the farmers were obliged to repai
The damages to proven. inundation. TIL,
lake occupies ground suface Of over tw,
thousand-eight hundred acres; depth o
water as great as twenty-five feet. Th,
water is clear and cold soil sandy an,
loamy. 1t is singular that no one has beer
able to ascertain where the water come
from, or where it goes to.
