surrounding the Yellowstone Lake of Montana {:
''Near the outskirts of this monstrous locality
there is lake on top of the mountain that is yet
frozen over, the ice and snow covering its sur
face some twenty feet deed. Two main forks of
the Yellowstone, one heading opposite Wind and
Green Rivers and the other opposite Henrys Fork
of Snake River, in the same vicinity that the
Madison and Gallatin rise empty into the big
lake, which has for its outlet the Yellowstone
River, and just below the lake the whole river
falls over the face of mountain thousands Of
feet the spray rising several hundred. pebble

hanging crag of one perpendicular fall and is
said to have required eleven and half seconds
to strike the surface of the river below. That
beats Niagara Falls all hollow" The river at
these great falls is represented to be half as large
as the Missouri at Omaha and as clear rs crystal.
The great lake, like all others in these mountains
is thick with salmon trout, of from five to forty
pounds weight, and where the milky boiling
mineral waters from the geysers lntermngle with
the pure clear water from the running streams

SOMETHING PITHY -Four gentlemen--a Baptist,

olic-met by agreement TO dine on fish. AS soon
as grace was said the Catholic rose, armed with
knife and fork, and taking about one-third of
the fish, comprehending the head, removed it TO
his plate, exclaiming, as he sat down, with great
self-satsiaction, Papa est cdpm eccleside the
Pope is the head of the Church. Immediately
the Methodist minister arose, and helping him.

himself, and said, Finis eOronat opus the end
crowns the work. The Presby terian now thought
it was about time for him TO move and taking
the remainder of the fish to his plate, exclaimed,

two extremes. Our Baptist brother had nothing
before him but an empty plate, and the prospect
of slim dinner, and snatching up the bowl OF
drawn (melted) butter, he dashed it over them
all, exclaiming Ego baptiso eos" baptize

WoRk For CHILDREN N.--There is greater de-
feet in educating children than neglectng to ac
custom them to work 1t is an evil that attaches
mostly to towns and cities Our children suffer
much forit. The parent does not consider whether
the child's work is necessary to the child Nothing
is more certain than that in their future indepeh-
dence and comfort much depends on their being
accustomed to work-accustomed to provide for
the thousand constantly recurring wants that ma
ture entails on us. lf this were not so, still il
preserves them from bad habits-t secures their
heath--iI strengthens both body and mind-it
enables them better to bear the confinement OF the
school room-and it tends more than anything
else to give them just views of life. Growing up
in The world without Il knowledge of its tolls and
cares, they view ii in IA false light They canno,
appreciate the iavors you beslow as they do not
know the tolls they cost. Their bodies nd minds
are enervated, and they are constantly exposed
TO whatever vicious associations are within their
reach The daughter probably becomes that pitis.

THE GREAT AMERICAN DESERT In our youth
ful days we can vividly remember how our
maps and Biographies indicated pretty much all
OF the country embraced between The Missouri Riv-
er and the Rocky Mountains to be IL great waste
inhabited only by wild animals and Indians
Over the face of this area the startling word
'unexplored' was associated with the still
more repeent expression, 1.-THE Great American
Desert" There were delicate little engravings
of gronps of red men and herds of buffalo, but
no sign of future occupancy or development.
From that day to this, however, the boundaries
OF this "Great Desert have rapidly contracted
and now it is difficult TO trace any actual desert
In fact the word desert" has now no meaning
on our great Western plains at is Safe says
writer ''to predict that this line Great meri
can Desert will ere long become the most pro-
ductive portion of the United States" During
the month of March there was shipped from Ne

NUMBER OF WoRDs IN USE. E.--Proessor Max
Muller quotes the statement OF a clergy man, that
some of the laborers in his parish had moi three
hundred words in their vocabulary well edu-
Gated person seldom uses more than about three
thousand or four thousand words in actual con-
versation. Accurate thinkers and close reasoners,
who select with great nicely the words that ex-
actly ht their meaning, employ much larger
stock and eloquent speakers may rise 10 com-
mand often thousand words. Shakespeare, who
displayed n greater variety of expression than
probably any other writer in any lang uage, pro-
duted all his plays with abont fifteen thousa nd
words. Millions works are built up with eight
thousand words, and the Old Testament says all
it has to say with Eve thousand six hundred and
forty-two different words

The SANITARY TSFLUENcE OF LAUGHTER
Laugh and grow fat' is an aphorism which
needs little augmentation to sustain it. To be
happy we must be cheerful and TO render that
cheerfulness truely enjoyable, one must now and
then yield TO mirthful impulses. As health
full agent full chested, "hearty" laugh is un-
rivaed. When his patient smiles, the doctor
takes hope.
A clerical friend, at celebrated watering-place
met lady who seemed lowering on the brink of
the grave. Her cheeks were hollow and wan,
her manner listless, her steps languid, and her
brow wore the contraction so indicative both of
mental and physical suffering, so that she was to
all observers an object of sincere pity.
Some years afterward he encountered this same
lady, but as bright, and fresh, and youthful-so
full OF heathful buoyancy and so joyous in express
sion that be began to question if he had not de-
ceived himself with regard to her identity.
"Is it possible" said he, that | see before
me Mrs. B., who presented such doleful ap-
pearance at the springs few years ago p
The very same. "
"And pray tell me- madam, the secret of your
cure? What means did you use to attain 10 such
yigor of mind and body--to such cheerfulness
and rejuvenaton 2,
" A very simple remedy, y 1na6a she -
boming face. I" stopped worrying and 5egan
to laugh-that was all "

To Cure A Smoky Chimney.

A correspondent who lives in New Hampshire
states that in those parts resides man named
Joe fellow noted for the tough lies he can
tell, and as a sample relates the following
Joe called at Holton's one day and found MIN
almost choked with smoke, when he suggested
''You don't know as much about managing
smoky chimneys as do, squire, or you'd cure
'em."
"Ah," said Holton, with interest "did you
ever see smoky chimney cured n
s'Seen smoky chimney cured p said old Joe,

board county once, and cured it a little too
much"
sHow was that" asked Holton.
"Why, you see," said Joe, "you see, built
little house out yonder at Wolf Hollow, ten or
twelve years ago Jim Bush the fellow that
built the chimney, kept blind drunk three quar-
ters of the time, and crazy drunk the rest. told
him that he would have something wrong, but
he stuck to it and finished the house. Well, we
moved in it, and built fire next morning to

"Well, that was unfortunate" remarked Hol-
ton. "But what in the world did you do with

This preparation is no new upstart but was
discovered more than a century ago, and the
original receipt has been in the possession of
Mrs. DR.. j. B. Stoddard for period of twenty
years, during which time it has effected some
of the most astonishing cures ever recorded
The great misfortune with the preparation has
been, that in consequence of its vegetable char
acter, it could only be prepared for immediate
use for those who would call in person or send
for it, as its virtues would be lost by fermenta-
ton in forty Eight hours after being prepared,
unless alcohol or minerals were introduced in
to its composition but that difficulty has been
surmounted without recourse to either and it
is now for the first time presented to the world
in all its original purity and extraordinary vir
in any climate ON the globe.

CooL.-As General Scott's army was marching
trumphantly into the City Of Mexico, process
sion of monks emerged from the gate of con-
vent situated on the eminence at the right, and
advanced with slow and measured tread until
they met the army at right angles. The guide or
leader of the procession was q venerable priest,
whose hair was whitened with the frost of many
winters. He held in both hands a contribution
box, upon which there was lighted candle and
when within few feet of the procession, halted
As the army proceeded, many a true believer
dropped some small coin or other into the good
priests box. Ultimately there came along tall
gaunt, Understood, gander-legged Yankee, who,
on seeing the poor priest, thrust his hands into
his breeches pockets, as if in search for dime,
or something of the kind. The priest observed
this movement, advanced, as usual, while Jona-
than, holding forth greasy roll of paper, com
menced very deliberately to unfold it. The ho-
ly man anticipated liberal donation, and put
on an air of the most exquisite satisfaction. JON
athan continued to unroll piece after piece of
twisted smoking tobacco. He next thrust his hand
into another pocket, and drew forth clay pipe,
which, with the utmost deliberation, he pro-
ceeded to fill by pinching of small particles of
the tobacco. When this was done, having re-
placed his tobacco in his breeches pocket he
stopped forward and lighted his pipe by the ex-
pectant priests candle, and making an awful in
cination of the head, (intended, perhaps, for a
bow, he said, Much obleeged to ye, squire, p"
