SMILES.

All hatred they melt into Loves
They chase away sorrow and trouble,
With CLEAN from the heaven above.
They make a. all cheerful and happy,
All whether we will or nOi
Can sunbeam he ever resisted,
When IL mils on a bank Of snow
We should woarily grupe through tho shadows
That compass this earthly life,
Wore u not for these flashes Of brightness
That fall on us through the stfio,
To reveal tho fond spirits around u.s.
The blossoms that spring In our way
For the world is not all go droary
A. some people choose TO say.
The innocent laughter Of childhood
Makes the heart " the aged 10 thrill
Al the sweet, merry song OF tho maiden,
The mouruer looks up and De- stIll.
the bright sunny smiles Of c0ntcntmout
That leckcr with light our dull way
They viii change every hardship to pleasure,
Aud the darkest night turn into day.

Eyes that olentimos are fearful,
Looking for liic's meaning true,
Hearts ~ often faint aud fearful
For the good ye strive 10 do
Thus an angel In my dreaming
Whispered for the soul that grieves
" Hands that fail 20 human seeming

Not alone the weak one sinneth
Who has ialterod In the way,
Not alone the strong man winneth
In the radiant blaze Of day
Gods clear vision, searching slowly
Flower and truitago mid the leaves,
Sees how Oft His children lowly
Bend beneath the richest shoaves.
Waiting while the sunrise only
Lights the hrows of reapers dead
T1lllng through the sunsets lonely
We may still be comiOrted
Like the flower difIuang sweetness
When we crush rs tender leaves
So frum pain We find completeness
In the beauty 0f our sheavos.

NOVEL CURE FOR RHEUMATIsM.-"I
talked much with the drivers of cabs
and cars in Ireland" says the Rev.
DR.. Osgood, "and found them very
bright and communicative. | remem-
ber funny story that driver told
me about a rich lady who owned a
grand estate near Cork, and who had
chronic rheumatism that no doctors,
foreign chemists, nor mineral springs
could cure. In despair the poor old
soul came home to die, and used to
be trundled about her lawn and mead
ow in Bath chair, by her man-serv-
ant, till one day, whilst meditating on
her gradual descent to the tomb, in
her chair in the meadow, her man
servant, with staring eyes of horror,
exclaimed, 'Oh mistress! the great
bull has broken loose, and is making
directly towards us and he immedi.
ateIy proved his personal discretion
more than his vaIor, by taking to his
heels, with the full conviction, prob
ably, that his healthy legs were of
more value than his lady's weak ones.
But what could she do but die? Not
so. She saw that she could at the
worst only die under the beasts horns,
and she might as we'll try to die game.
So up she started and away she ran,
and was over the fence nearly as soon
as her unheroic man-in-waiting. She
left the bull and the rheumatism in
the meadow behind"

A STORY OF A NosE.-The follow

A STORY OF A NOsE.-The follow
ing remarkable anecdote is going the
rounds Of the western press:
There resides in St. Joseph a GER
tain deacon whose nasal organ is Of
unusually large dimensions and bold
curve. A few days ago said deacon
fell and pretty considerably damaged
the cutaneous connection Of the prom.
inent feature mentioned. Passing IN
to a drug store, he applied some
plaster to the wound. On the fol
lowing Sunday, while engagedsin the
laudible occupation of passing round
the hat for stamps, the plaster fell off
The balance Of the story is told il
the following words, taken from The
St. Joseph Gazette of the 28th ult
While an unfortunate sinner wa'
feeling for a donation, the deacor
made hasty dive for small white
object on the carpet in the aisle, which
be imagined vast the desired plaster
and speedily placed it on the end Of
his nasal organ. He had scarcel.
done so, however when, to his aston
ishment, several young ladies seated
in the pew before him crowded thei
hankerchiefS into their mouths to re
strain their laughter. He only dis
covered the reason of this unexpected
action on their part when he remove,
the plaster, when he found, upon ez
animation, to be the label from col
ton spool, from which stood prom
nently forth the magical words, war
ranted to hold out two hundred yards
The nose is not quite this length.'''

the trial, heard the witnesses and saw

the trial, heard the witnesses and saw
them, we find small preponderance
on the side of the verdict. They do
not regard the circumstances of the
killing as those Of an ordinary afray.
The prisoner had great provocation
to resistance, if not good reason to
fear that his life was in danger. Few
if any believe that he intended to kill
Harris, though all think he acted
with great rashness. He was an
improper person to be invested with
an Office which raised against him
the hands of all bad men on the bor-
der and thereby put him on the de-
fensive. But for that Office, he would
not have carried a pistol, would not
have been threatened, would not have
killed. He is an impulsive man, had
a false idea as to his legal rights and
authority, but was not malevolent
nor bad.
Whether to convict him OF man.
slaughter or to acquit him would
have been difficult question for any
man to decide under the circumstances,
without prejudice on the one hand or
sympathy on the other. There was
wide chance for doubt as to wheth-
er his rashness was criminal or not.
Under the law the prisoner was en-.
titled to the benefit of every reason
able doubt, and so he has gone forth,
a sobered, punished, humiliated and
tearfully instructed man. Let the
public so study the case as to apply
their hearts unto Wisdom, for her
ways are ways of righteousness and
all her paths are PEACE.-St. Al
bans Messenger.

England, Germany and America,
if united in a determination to Sc
cure the peaceful progress of both
continents, might shape the destinies
Of the human race.-Lond0n Times.
Very true. But from the present
attitude Of England in the war be-
tween France and Prussia, there is
little indication that England desires
peaceful progress" in Europe-to
say nothing about this western con-
tinent. She has had splendid oppor-
tunitieS to prevent war and bloOdsbed
in France within the last thirty days,
but we have no evidence of her efforts
that way. Had the neutral powers
of Europe demanded an end to hostiI-
tiles after the French Empire collaps-
ed, peace would have spread her
broad wings over that distracted
country two weeks ago. But the
neutral powers, with England at
their head, have really backed up
Prussia in her unjustifaole crusade
against the French Republic. King
craft and despotism are to-day band
ed together against liberty through
out all Europe. Consequently, it i:
sheer hypocracy and DISSEMINATION
for England to talk about what coult
be done "to secure the peaceful pro
gress Of both continents" while sh'
puts her heel on France and bid
Prussia 60 on with her efforts t.
make the people Of that distracted
land mere vassals. We sooner expec

London Bridge than an angel @

dred times further distant. The great
telescope of Lord Rosse pursued these
creations of God still deeper into
space, and having resolved the nebule
of the Milky Way into stars, discov-
cred other systems of stars-beautiful
diamond points glitteriug through the
black darkness beyond. When he be-
held this amazing abyss-when he
saw these systems scattered profuse-

ed upon their immense distance, their
enormous magnitude, and the count
less million of worlds that belonged
to them, it seemed to him as though
the wild dream of the German poet
was more than realized.
"God called man in a dream into
the vestibule of heaven, saying, "Come
up hither, and | will show thee the
glory of my house. And to his an
gels who stood about his throne, He
said, Take him, strip him of his robes

man stood ready for his unknown voy-
age.
Under guidance of the mighty an
gel, with sounds of flying pinions they
sped away from the battlements of

angels wings they fed through Saharas
of darkness, wildernesses of death.
At length, from distance, not count

light beamed upon them-a flame as
seen through hazY cloud. They sped
on their terrible speed to meet the
light-the light with lesser speed
came to meet them. In a moment the
wheeling of planets; then came long
eternities Of twilights, then again on

more consultations. AT last the man
sunk down crying, Angel, l can go no
further, let me lie down in the grave,
and hide myself from the infnitude
of the universe, for end there is none.

angel. And from the glittering stars

The Clod.

Within a garden once there lay
A clad, uncouth and brown.
Above it, through the fair, june day,
A rose looked proudly down.
She shook her petals soft and red
Queen of the garden born
And bending DER it, proudly said,
In tones of regal scorn:
"Here, in the ioyOus summer hours,
The tired bee lingering, dreams;
Here smile a thousand radient flowers,
Lit up with rainbow CLEANS.
''The lily swings her pearly bells,
The purple pansies nod,
And here the stately tulip dwells,
o, duh, unsightly clod.
''The honeysuckle's scarlet bloom
Trails down the trellis there.
The milk-wlite yucca's rich perfume
Fills all the slumbering air.
''The golden robin comes and sings,
The plashinS fountains play
Here humming birds, their FURNISHED wings
Like lettering sunbeams, stay.
When noon's fierce heats drop down,
And fold upon my velvet breast
Their pinions painted down.
''And you, the clod that Iowly lies,
Would seek to dwell with these!
Scorncd of the birds and butterflies,
Unnotced by the bees.'
She ceased; the humble clod looked up,
But answered not a word,
While through the liy's waXcn cup
\ sigh of pity stirred.
But one by one the summer days,
Like fitting smbeams, fed,
Til autumn spread ITS trembling haze
O'er blossoms wan and dead.
And as the gloomy days grew nigh.
The tickle robins flew,
The snow dropped from the ashen Sky,
The bitter north winds blew.
But still the clod in patience lay
Beneath the deep'uirg drifts,
Till through the clouds. SO chill and gray,
The spring made silyery riffs.
Then from its shielding bosom warm,
A tender stock was seen.
Sheltered through all the winters storm,
With leaflets -moo-h and green.
It drank the Apri.'- balmy rain,
Il drank the sweet May dew,
The rich clol fed clch threal-llle r..l.
And str.ncand tall it grew.

A REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERA
TION.-For some ten months past Gen.
Fitzpatrick, our late minister to Chill,
has been suffering from an erectile
tumor in his throat, which at the time
Of the operation protruded outwardIy
as large as a hens egg. Inwardly it
was much larger, crowding the wind
pipe half an inch over to the left,
making the effort to talk and eat very
difficult and painful. On Tuesday
last the operation was performed
1t is thus described:
"Gen. Fitzpatrick was placed under
the influence Of ether. -Four large,
sized darning-needles were then in
serted in the tumor. Some idea can
be formed Of the stubborness of the
tumor by the fact that it required all
the strength a strong man possessed
to force the needles into it. The fact
that it was near the iugular vein in.
creased the difficulty. An unusually
powerful electric battery was then ap
piled to the needles, the full force 0.
the battery being given.
Notwithstanding the influence O
the ether, the electricity had such al
effect upon the patient that two pow
erful men had as much as they cou,l
do to keep him upon the bed. Thl
needles were remlvcd. The patien
lay quiet under the influence of tn,
ether In thirty minutes exactly thC
outward swelling began to 90 down
and soon disappeared altogether. ThD
General lay unconscious for two hours
AS he gradually came to his senses
he began to complain Of excruciatin,
pains, and a torturing burning in tn.
throat and neck; but these distrcssin.
sensations were quickly mingled wit
surprise and delight His wiadpip
had Strengthened and resumed is mai
ural position, and the great lump
which he had complained of so muc
for ten months past had disappeared
Of course the General was left in
terribly weak condition, but althoug
instructed to keep his room and bee
is looking exceedingly well.
DR.. Lincoln says that the amour
of electricity thrown into Gen. Ki
patrick's system by the operation,
concentrated, would transform a piec
of the hardest kind of coal the size {
a marble into a coal of fire."

To form an independent character,
one must be thrown upon his own re-
sources. The oak, growing in the
open field, where it is continually
beaten upon by the tempest, becomes
its own protector. So the man who
is compelled to rely upon his own
strength, ability, and energy, forms an
independence Of character to which he
could not otherwise have attained
