THE WooDPECKER's FoREsIGHT.-
The woodpecker in California IS
storer of acorns. The tree he selects
is invariably of the pine tribe. ne
bores several holes, differing sligntiy
in size, at the fall of the year, and tnen
flies away, in many instances 70 a
long distance, and returns with an
acorn. which he Immediately sets
about adjusting to one OF the holes
prepared for its reception. But he
does not eat the acorn for, as a rule,
he is. not a vegetarian. His object IN
storing away the acorn exhibits acute
foresight, and knowledge OF results,
more akin to reason than to instinct.
The succeeding winter the acorn re-
mains intact, but becoming saturated
with rain, is predisposed to decay,
it is then attacked by maggots, which
seem to delight in this special food; II
is then that the woodpecker reaps the
harvest which his wisdom has proyld-
ed. at o time when the ground being
covered with snow, he would experience
a difficulty in otherwise obtaining suit
able or paIatable foods. 1t is sub
iect of speculation why the red wood
cedar or sugar pine is invariably Sc
lected; it is not probable that the in
sect, the most dainty to the wood
pecker's taste, frequents only the out
side of wet trees out SO it is that il
Calaveras,, Mariposa, and other dis
tricts of California, trees Of this kin(
may be frequently seen covered al
over their trunks with acorns, whel
there is not an oak tree within severa
miles. b. Barton.

To a hasty question leisurely
answer.
Fetters are hateful though they be
made of gold.
1t is well to know how to be silent
till it is time to speak.
If you would know what a dollar
is worth try to borrow one.
The wolf loses his teeth but not
his inclination.
Not all that is true is always to be
spoken.
He is fool who thinks that 9TH
ers donot think.
One grain does not fill the granary,
but it helps Its companion.
Despise your enemy and you will
soon be beaten.
Every one knows where his own
shoe pinches.
Prayers and provender never him
der any mans journey.
Words are but poor Ag-leaves to
cover the nakedness of deeds.
1t is far easier to see small faults
than large virtues.
The noblest remedy for injuries is
oblivion.

A FISHER OF MEN.-Henry Ward
Beecher thus disposes of the question
as to who should be preachers of the
gospel:
A man goes forth with a splendid
.jointed rod, long silken line, an ex-
quisite and glittering reel, and all
manner Of curious bates, and walks
with full confidence of success to the
appointed brook where fish should be
taken. And his first throw is into a
tree. He gathers back his line, and
his second throw is into bush. He
gathers back the line again, and his
third throw is into the mud on the OPP
posite bank. And he loses his hooks
and snaps his line, and gets all manner
Of things except fish And he is an
cry to think that one so eminently st,
one so thoroughly finished, one so
specially ordained, should fail in his
mission. On the other hand, a poor,
plain working man that has toiled
through his appointed hours, and
needs something for his table, goes to
the first bush and cuts him pole, and
takes piece Of Irvine for a line, and
puts on the commonest kind of a hook,
and goes to the brook, and drops the
hook into the water, and instantly he
gets bite, and pulls out fish. He
throws his line again, and Immediate
ly he gets another bite, and pulls out
another fish. A man standing by
says: ale ought not to have caught
those fish; he was hot appointed to
do it." But he did catch them and |
say that the man that can catch fish
ought to fish, and the man that cannot
ought not to. Now, to want to preach
and to be able to do it successfully,
fits man to be preacher and if ten
thousand apostles, in rows as long as
from here to the celestial gate, should
refuse to give a man permission to
preach, yet if he has the desire and
the ability he is called and he is or
dained, to be preacher.
