Old Houses.


Those real old houses, say n hundred
years old, are perfect curiosities. Every
door has separate handle, and no
two will be likely to he in the same
place. 1t is on the right-hand here, on
the left-hand there. 1t is on one door
three feet from the ground, and on the
next, four feet. SO that in the night
you will have TO explore for the handle,

veying party seeking a blind channel
Some doors will be armed with old-fash.
ioned latches, some with locks and
knobs, some will stick at the top and
some at the bottom, and all of them
squeak, opening or shutting. The cell
ing will be low, and upstairs lower yet.
Then an old home gives you so many
things to do, that for years you have a
job on hand every day. A new house,
finished up to the last nail, becomes very
dull. Everything is finished. There is
no play for the Imagination. Everything
is just right, and you have to sit down
and enjoy yourself the best way you can.
You long to cut window somewhere,
to open some surprisingly convenient
door, where the blockheaded architect
should have put it at first. But, alas,
the new house is stuffed full of protec-
tion. The doors are in the right places
there need be 10 more windows the
halls run Alright and as for closets, the
house is as full of them as sportsman's
coat is of pockets.
Do not buy farm already finished,
nor house just built, nor an old house
improved till there is nothing to change.
Buy house that, like a smart boy, needs
a deal of bringing up, and then, in
either case, you will have busines.

Refreshing Impudence.

session OF the Legislature, he heard some
of his acquaintances complaining at the
breakfast table of the unnecessary
severity with which the sergeaut-at-arms
enforced the rule excluding all Others

that the rule was one of long standing,

allowed it to be eVaded Ill some cases.

Another glacier occupied the bed of Lake
Michigan, having an outlet southwark

the heavy beds of drift which occupy the
surface about the south end Of the lake

by some route yet unknown reaching the

Surface of the Basin Of the Great
Lakes.


Prof J. S. Newberry has an article on
this subject in the American Naturalist
for June. We have space only for the
following conclusions:
lst. That in period probably sny-
chronous with the glacial epoch of Eu-
rope, at least corresponding to it in the
sequence of events, the northern half of
the continent of North America had a
climate comparable with that of Green
land so cold that wherever there was a
copious precipitation of moisture from
oceanic evaporation, that moisture was
concealed and formed glaciers WHICH
flowed, by various routes towards the
sea.
I'd. That the courses of these ancient
glaciers corresponded in general way
with the present channels of drainage.
The direction of the glacial burrows
proves that one of these ice rivers flowed
from Lake Huron, along a channel now
filled with DRIFT, and known to be at least
one hundred and fifty feet deep, into
Lake Erie, which was then not lake,
but an excavated valley into which the
streams of Northern Ohio flowed, one
hundred feet or more below the present
lake level. Following the line of the
major axis of Lake Erie to near its east
ern extremity, here turning northeast,
this glacier passed through some chan
mel on the Canadian side, now filed up,
into Lake Ontario, and thence found its

Reading and Thinking.

Sturgeon says some sharp things about
the habit into which many iall, OF depend
ing on others to furnish them with
thought. lie applies his remarks especi-
ally to those who do little in pondering
upon the meaning of the Sacred Word,
but run directly to commentaries. He
says:
Bacon asserts that reading makes full
man; but, without digestion, fuIlness is
dyspepsia, and creates sleepiness and in
ert fat, incapable Of action. Hazlitt says
you might as well ask the paralytic to
leap from his chair, and throw away his
crutch, or, without miracle, to take up
his bed aud walk, as TO expect the learn
ed reader to throw down his book and
think for himself. He is narrower OF
sense. He has no ideas of his own, and
must live on those Of others. The habit
of supplying our ideas from foreign sour
ces enteebes all internal strength OF
thought, as course of dran-drinking
destroys the tone of the stomach. The
word of God is pre-emineLtly book for
direct reading, and is never seen in its
glory if we will persist in wearing the
colored spectacles of another mans COM
ment. Pure and cool are its streams, if
we drink Immediately from the well-head
but, when the precious crystal has long
stood in earthen vessels, its freshness is
gone; the truth is there, perhaps, but
not the life. We should let texts lie on
ou: hearts until they melt into them like
snow-hakes dissolving into the soil.

Select Poetry.
Morning Thoughts.

In the silence of the dawning,
Ere the stars have vanished quite,
And the shining tears of angels
On the greensward glisten bright
Comes a Presence, pure and holy,
Fresh from realms beyond the sky
Giving strength TO weary mOrtals,
Bringing hope and courage nigh
And il seems TO whisper to us
Words that rouse us into life
Bidding us be up and doing,
Making ready for the strile,-
For the way is long and toilsome
That we have to travel yet,
And though flowers are strcwcd along 1t,
They are oft with !ear-drops wet
But the morning comes to cheer us
With a language not of earth,-
That was sent from yonder Heaven
Where the morning stars had birth
And it gives us dimmest visions
OF the morning that will come,
When our earthly life is ended,
And the angels call us home.
Let us then with courage hasten
Onward TO the rest of love-
For each thorn that's in our pathway,
Flowers shall bloom for us above;
There's no need of tardy waiting,
Though the storm clouds vent their spite
For beyond their darkening shadows
Lies the shining Land of Light

MONEY GErrING.-Some people think
that it il necessary to be mean and mi
serly in order to become wealthy. There
never was a greater mistake. Any man
of common intelligence may be prosper
Gus if he chooses to labor diligently and
faithfully in calling which he thorough
ly understands. OF course prudence is
indispensable to success. Prudence, not
niggard meanness. The man who, com
mencing with little or nothing, has re-
solved to rise, must resolve also to sac
rifice nothing to appearance. He can
not gain one true friend nor obtain any
popularity that will be really useful t.
him in his efforts to achieve independ
ence, by endeavoring to seem to have
that which he has not. The world is
shrewder than preteption supposes it to
be. 1t is curious world: looks sharp
ly into peoples private affairs, and if an
individual makes a show beyond his
means, soon discovers and distrusts him.
No one who has fortune to make, or
who desires eyen moderate compet-
ence, can afford to incur the worlds dis
trust. Therefore, if you are at the foot
of the ladder and want TO mount, go up
in your workday guise, and don't affect
purple and fine linen.

How Brigham Young Conducts his

the letters of visitors to Mormondom, re-
lative to Brigham Young's domestic at
fairs; but the following, from commu-
nication in the CINCINNATI Gazette, con.

to have previously seen;
"The rooms of the women are very
much alike, and furnished nearly alike.
They are plain, bnt comfortable. The
women live in them precisely as people
do at . hotel. Each lady has her own
key, and when she goes out she locks her
door. There is little visiting back and
forth, and the ladies behave very much
as guests do at first class hotel, Every

Power of Woman.

DR.. Adolphe Monod, that most elo-
quent of all the evangelical ministers OF
France, says: "rhe mightiest influence
which exists on the earth, both for good
and for evil, is concealed in the hand of
woman" She may sit as a judge or a
senator, or fill the pulpit, or plead at the
bar, or be diplomated to medical colleges,
or command armies, or vote at elections,
yet her power is greater over mCn who
do those things than all else, and the
greatest over those who deny it. What
made the Greek sol4iers braver than all
others? If there be any truth in history,
it was due to their mothers, sisters, and
wives. They conjured them to conquer

Our soldiers were patriotic IN the late
war, but who does not know that theil
patriotism was REINFORCED by the women
who presented banners and flew 10 thu
fields of blood with kind words and san
itary supplies.
Dir. Judson was a brave man, but tie
charming and beautiful Ann Hazeltine

The influence under which John Bunyar
grew up to manhood was not good. Ht
was wild, reckless, and profane. But he
overheard four poor women talking, not
of their neighbours faults, but of Chrst
and their own Christian experience
They arrested his attention. 1t resulted
in his conversion. Those four poor wo
men made John Bunyan what he was.
The power of men over women is great
but not SO great as that of women ovel
men. 1t is hard for man who plungel
into vice or error to drag his wife will
him; but easy for woman to lead he
husband astray. 1t is power that grow
out of her nature. The morals of tn,
