Wearing Mourning.

q It il not the custom of our people 10 symbo-
lize their feelings by change of dress, with
this solitary exception. IF man becomes bank
rupt, or his home burned down, or loses heavily
in commercial operations, or has a son in DIS
grace or child misled by evil company, or any
other grieful experience, he does not change
his garb. The one solitary and exceptional case
is bereavement But there is In domestic sor,
row delicacy, or ought to be, which snouid
shrink from an ostentatiousness such as mourn
ing apparel cannot fail to have. No one has
right SO to express his sorrows to intrude them
upon every eye wherever he goes. s.laa ea5a.
Custom has long justified it, otherwise 1T
would be esteemed an indehcacy for one to be
walking advertisement of ones own private
griefs But, even if one were permitted to an
nounce this one side of domestic experience by
change of garb, the question still remains,
whether expression should be given to the weak
ness of natural feeling, or the triumph OF Chris
tian faith? Whether we should symbolic the
darkness Of the grave as unenlightened nature
shows it. or the grave made luminous by the
triumph of our Saviour and the glories OF inn
mortality beyond it? We may be sure there Is
something wrong in a Christian community
where death is surrounded with associations OF
terror, where the young are reared to horror OF
| the sepulchre where present grief rises up IKE
dark cloud and shuts out the heaven; where
| in sermon, services, conversation and dress
| everything conspires to shroud death and the
| grave with darkness-has sorrow right to be
selfish? May it bear false witness against I'm.
| morality? Has Christian under bereavement
right to declare by his conduct, "ihere is nc
| light in the grave, none beyond it, end no com
fort for the bereaved but only black, black sor
| row." Inever met one mufaed in black from
head to foot, without certain horror. The
smell of Grape is to me like the smell Of char
| mel house
| Did it ever occur to mourners to ask, what, Il
those for whom grieve were to speak to me ou
| of the blissful rest in heaven, would be then
choice-that I should be shrouded like one II

Teach Your Children Industry.

A certain historian remarks: "One law among
the ancient Lydions deserves to be mentioned,
and to be cherished in the memory. This was
the punishment of idleness as crime, and their
inuring their children to hardshps. In the
former clause of this law, they deserve to be i'm
itated even by a christian people If the youth
of our country were generally brought up to
habits of industry, how much vice and misery
would be avoided. Suffered to 6e idle, as they
are in too many instances, they become the prey
of the designing, curse to their parents, and
pest to society. This is crying evil in our day
and demands correction. Restraint over our OH
spring is required at our hands, and the parent
who neglects it inficts moral injury on his
child and his country, while he exposes himself
to the wrath of his maker. IF heathe7' parents
appreciated the results of industrious habits,
surely Christian parents ought not to under
value them. They should keep their offspring
EMPLOYED in their learning and other occupa-
tions. suited to their tender age, that they may
be preserved from temptation and ruin. Al
nature teaches the lesson Of industry-the sun
moon and stars are constant in the performance
of their Creators will. The earth also, on which
we live, unweariedly travels onward in its course
and the very insects teach lesson Of industry
Shall we disregard the lesson!"

A Young Girl in Wisconsin Abducted by
Indians. -

A week or two since, says the La Crosse wis
Democrat, young man, well known to many OF
our citizens, Mr. Charles Benton, of Onalaska
in company with Miss Jennie Guilds, visited
some friends near Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
While enroute to that place in private convey
ance, they passed an Indian encanpment, and
had some joking conversation with them, in the
course of which some of the Indians said Miss
Guilds would make their chief a splendid squaw.
They passed on and no notice was taken OF what
the Indians said.
After having seen their friends, and while
coming back, about nine miles this side of Chip
pewa Falls, the young lady was taken suddenly
i'll, and both stopped at a farm house near at
hand The girl was better in the evening, and
all retired, Miss Guilds in room on the ground
floor, and Mr. Benton in room up stairs. About
an hour after going to bed some twenty Indians
came into the house and tried to force the door
of Mr. BIS room, and while doing so he shot two
with his revolver, and then jumped out of the
window and ran behind shed and reloaded his
revolver and came back to defend the girls ROOM
but in the meanwhile the Indians had disap
peared in the dark and the girl also.
The country in that vicinity is being searched
| closely by parties who went out for the purpose

Counsels to . Son.

The following sscounsels" were given by the
late Rev. Dr. Peabody, of Springfield, to his son,
when the latter was going from home t. reside,
with the request that he would read them daily !:
1. Never forget that you have Heavenly
Father. Speak to him every day. 1t is un-
grateful to neglect him; ). and if you do neglect
him, you will repent il bitterly forever. - =
2. Remember your friends at home, and how
anxious they are for your welfare and improve
ment. If You viii not take the trouble to write
70 them, they can have no confidence in your
affection EsaT at@s = sssfSf.s Lss's,I = as-'
8. Be affectionate and faithful to the friends
around you. Give up your own incinations
when they interfere with theirs. sasrz,q raa 7r.s
f. Govern your passions firmly. You can be
their master; do not be their slave.
5. Always attend to duties first, and after
wards to pleasures. Finish your studies before
you allow your amusements to begin.
g. Do not read much fiction. 1t is to the
mind like drinking to the body; it intoxicates
and destroys the power Of the mind for any
strong and useful exertion. .aa.
Z. Ask of every thing which you are disposed
or tempted to do, Is this right? If it is, do it
however much it costs you; if it is not, let moth
ing induce you to do it. Every time you obey
your conscience, you increase its power withir
you. Each time you act against it, you do some
thing to destroy its power.
g. Never forget that you are on the way to
world where you must answer for every thins
that you have done Live so that you may Civ
in your account with Joy, and not with dread.

CryOlite,

This ia remarkable mineral discovered In
Greenland not many wears ago, and which takes
its name from its resemblance to ice, and it can,
like ice be melted in the fame of candle.
l. 1t is not said to be found any where else
in the world, but there is there an immense VEN
of it, from which it is said that l6O 600 tons can
be obtained In fact, as it is believed to be
volcanic product, and the vein goes down to the
center of the earth, the supply is mex xhaustlbe,
though the expense of working beyond certain
depth would be too great The mine is owned,
and the mineral is quarried out by firm In
Philadelphia. 7- a13 81 ~.
We saw a notice, short time ago, of ship
lost at sea with cargo of this on board, and also
having the crew of another vessel that had been
previously lost on the way 10 Philadelphia.
2. 1t is known in Chemistry as the fueride
of Sodium and Aluminium, and from it different
products are obtained by different processes
For instance, great quantities OF caustic Soda
The mineral is said to contain A per cent OF
hydrated Soda, the manufacture OF which from
this mineral is much more rapid and profitable
than from common salt as formerly. Alumina is
an incidental product in this manufacture.
3. A new metal was discovered few years
ago, called Aluminium. This is easily derived
| from this mineral. 1t is singular IN several re-
spects It is a white metal with blush ange
| 1t resists oxidation, or rusting. 1t has low
specific gravity While iron is about times as
heavy as the same volume of water, tin little
less, copper little more, silver more than 10;
and lead more than IL, gold more than l9, and
platinum more than 21 times as heavy as water,
this metal Aluminium is only 2 and six-tenths,
in specific gravity. .a ~s..
4. But by another process another metal
| Sodium. can be made from this mineral, which is
lighter even than water and floats on it. 1t is
yellowish white and soft like wax. s. a as-
This metal has been very costly, but it is saio
that though it was once sold by the grain, works
are erected in New York to manufacture tons O
it. SO that it can be sold for 81 a pound, and al
its specific gravity is SO low, pound will be
large bulk.
5. This mineral from Greenland is interesting
from the number of ores that are found with i
-iron-stone, lead ore, eopperas, sulphur, arsenic
tin-stone, tantaite, columbite, zinc, blende, &c

An Inexplicable Mystery.

Within the walls of the Bastile, during the
reign of Louis the XIV, was enacted the mex
plicable mystery, which has continued mystery
to this day, of the man in the Iron Mask. W hen
first heard of he was confined in the Marguerite
Islands. in the Mediterranean, whence he was
removed by De Saint Mars, who was his private
governor, and answerable, it is believed, tor hls
safety with his own life, to the Bastie, where he
died on November 10, 1903, and was buried On
the Goth, in the cemetery of st. Paul, under the
name of Machiati. No man, except the governor,
so far as is known, ever saw his face or hearo
his voice. Two persons, to whom ne had conveyed
written words, in one case marked upon linen
SHIRT. in the other engraved on a silver plate,
died, without apparent cause immediately a1ter-
wards. During his conveyance from the Mar
guerite Isles, De Saint Mars dined at the same
table and slept in the same chamber with him,
with pistols ever at hand ready to destroy him
in case of an attempt on his part to reveal him.
self In the Bastle he was waited upon, at the
table and toilet by the governor, who took charge
of and DESTROYED all the linen he once used He
was never seen but with a mask OF black velvet
fastened behind his head with steel springs; and
when he went to hear mass, the mvalides, who
were In charge of him, with muskets and lighted
matches. were instructed to fire on him instantly
in case of his speaking or showing his face. A
hundred conjectures have been risked as to who
this mysterious person was who was treated with
such respect, yet with such jealous rigor, whose
life was held sacred against taking off, yet made
one scene of incessant mystery. The absence o.
anv person of sufficient note from the stage o.
history to account for such precautions alone
battles all inquiry The general idea seems t.
he that he was an elder brother of Louis tht
| XIV. the fruit of an adulterous intrigue be

SHAMEFUL AFFA1R.-A correspondent of
the Portland (Me., )Argus, writing from Sweden,
in that State, tells the following disgracefui
story -..sa.r
A man living in this town has just committed
an act that deserves the censure of the public, as
it has already received that OF his neighoors.
He has formally contracted with his brother to
take out of his way his aged and invalid wife,
and support, clothe and bury her for 81 ,Ooo.
She has been hard working and faithful wife,
and has raised large family of children, who
have never felt what it was to be disgraced till
now. One of them, man of twenty years and
upward cried like child when he heard OF u the e
affair. He had offered to support her himself II
the old man would give him the farm to 90 II
with which was refused. And now this man
sends his wife from home, where ''she has out.
lived her usefulness" to die among strangers
| He has not even the excuse of poverty to plead
! for he is accounted the richest man In town.
