When first the stranger came to
me in the forest his presence bewil-

from him as from something STANCE

A MIxIN' OF THE BABIEs.-Some
time ago there was a dancing party
given "up North" most of the ladies
present had little babies, whose noisy
perversity required too much atten-
ton to permit the mothers to enjoy
the dance. A number of gallant
young men volunteered to watch the
young ones while the parents indulg-
ed i'll a "break-down" No sooner
had the women left the babies in
charge OF the mischievous devils.
than they stripped the infants, chan
ged their clothes, giving the apparel
of one to another. The dance over,
it was time to go home, and the
mothers hurriedly took each baby
in the dress of her own, and started
to their homes some ten or fifteen
miles off and were far on their way
before daylight. But the day fol-
lowing there was tremendous row
in the settlement: mothers discover
ed that single night had changed
the sex Of their babies-observatio
disclosed physical phenomena, and
then commenced some of the tallest
female pedestrianism living miles
apart, it required two days to unmix
the babies, and as many months to
restore the women to their natural
sweet dispositions. To this day it is
unsafe for any of the baby mixers to
venture into the territory.

MAGNITUDE OF THE EARTH The cir
cumference of our globe is %, O2O
miles, and so stupendous a circle
may be best comprehended by com
parison. For example, a railway
train, travelling necessarily, night
and day, at the rate of twenty. five
miles an hour, would require six
weeks to go around it. The cubical
bulk of earth is 260,000,O 100000 Of
cubic miles, and according to DIR.
Lardner, if the materials which com
pose it were built up in the form of
column, having pedestal Of the
magnitude of England and Wales,
the height of the column would be
nearly four and a half millions OF
millions of miles. A tunnel through
the earth from England to New Ze-
land would be about 5000 miles
long.

QUARRELING.-If anything in the
world will make man feel badly,ex-
cept irching his fingers in the crack
of a door,it is unquestionably quar-
rel. No man ever fails to think less
of himself after it than before. 1t de-
grades him in the eyes Of others, and,
what is worse, blunts his sensibilities
on the one hand, and increases the
power of passionate irritability on
the other. The truth is, the more
peaceably and quietly we get on, the
better for our neighbors. In nine Ca
ses out of ten, the better course is, if
"a man cheats you, cease to deal with
him if he is abusive, quit his COM
pany f.; and if he ISLANDERS you, take
care to live so that nobody will be-
lieve him. No matter who he is, or
how he misuses you, the wisest way
is to let him alone for there is moth
ing better than this cool, calm, and
quiet way of dealing with the wrongs
we meet with.
SoRRow.--Sorrow sobers us, and
makes the mind genial And in sor.
row we love and trust our friends
more tenderly, and the dead become
dearer to us. And just as the stars
shine out in the night, so there are
blessed faces that look at us in our
grief, though before their features
were fading from our recollection
Suffering Let no man dread it toe
much, because it is good for him, and
it will help to make him sure of his
being immortal. 1t is not in the
bright, happy day, but only in the
solemn night, that other worlds are
to be seen shining in their long, long
distances. And it is in sorrow-tha
night of the soul--that we see farth
est, and know ourselves natives o
finity and SONS and daughters of tn
Most High.

Points the path to God.

Moisten thy parched and fevered lips.
