How many little troubles OF this world
might be changed to joys, just as weeds may
be plucked cut and roses placed in their
stead, did we Try to have 1t so. Mothers,
sisters, do you ever think Of this How
many little uifCs does your daughter per-
form, good mother which may seem small
but dozen Of these a day make up the many
of week and the thousands Of year and
yet you pretend 10 imagine that they DO
nothing. Or, sister, how much does tlat
older or younger one, whom the natural ties
OF affection should make them, or never give
even kind word or smile in return for what
they would consider pleasure to do, did you
seem thankful But, alas too many OF us,
parents, daughters, and brothers alike, tor
get the supreme command Of God 10 love one
another-torgtt that the very essence Of true
Christianity consists In faithful keeping
together OF tue bonds ul "brOtherly love"
How many Of us sink DEEPER the arrow lhNt
already wounds the heart by the unkind
word which smile would heal in q moment
how many Of us thus neglect the simplest
lesson that our Heavenly Father thus designs
for us to try to uttuin what we imagine q
nobler height by seeking TO overcome what
we call greater and thus lose the priceless
gem. Sweet is Christianity. Happy must
be the possessor OF the love Of God, But
alas too mauY find when it IS too late that
they have "imagined vain thing" and that
they have lost the key TO the pearly gate by
numbering the affection and love that should
have made home happy. Remember, then,
mothers, sisters, and brothers, that at home
Christianity is in its purGst element, and
when it fuils to be visible in heaven. Ii Is
at home that the recording angel looks, aud
from there come the many damning proofs
| that may thut us Out from, the supeTnal bliss
oil heaven on that great day.

Elepbanrs Revenge ana Gratitude.

The elephant, with sort Of humorous JUS
tice, is given to return injuries or insults in
kind. In Madagascar, an elephants cor
nae, happening to have a cocoa nut in bis
hand, thought fit, out Of brayado, TO break
it on the animals head. The elephant made
no protest at the time; but next day, pass
ing a fruit stand, he took cocoa nut in bis
trunk and returned the cornac's compliment
so yigotously on the head that BIZ killed him
on the spot.
If vindictive, the elephant is also grateful.
At Pondicherry, soldier who treated an
elephant 70 dram Of arrack every time he
received his pay, found himrelf the worse
for liquor, When the guard were about to
carry him of to prison, he took refuge under
the elephant and fell asleep. His protector
would let no one approach, and watched him
carefully all night. In the morning, after
caressiug with his trunk, he dismissed him
to settle with the authorities the best he
could.
Both revenge and gratitude imply intelli-
gence: still more does the application of an
unforeseen expedient, A train Of artillery
going to Seaingapatam had TO cross the
shingly bed Of the river. A man who was
sitting on gun-carriage fell; in another
second the wheel would have passed over bis
body. An elephant walking by the carriage
saw the danger, aud Instantly, without any
order from his keeper, lifted tie wheel from
the ground, leaving the man uninjured.

CANDY EATING,

"Shall let my children cat candyS" is a
question over which parents are still some
times puzzled. This is not surprising, for
doctors and doctors books differ upon the
question. Some teach that candy is an evil
to be avoided, others, who like it themselves,
say that white candies at least are harmless,
and may be eaten at discretion Neither
side is quite right. The chief injury that
caudies do is that of spelling the APPETITE for
other food. When honestly made, colored
candy is quite harmless in itself Thus the
red candies are colored with beet juice. But
it is sgler en- the whole to stick to the white
candies, which are made Of starch and sugar
favored The love Of sugar is a natural and
healthy appetite, especially in children, who
need more saccharine matter than grown
persons. Yet they should not be allowed
to cat sugar to the exclusion Of heartier food
BY deyouring candy in large quantities be-
tween meals they spoil their appetite, and
often iniure their digestion. This is the
only serious objection to candy eating A
good rule in the matter 10 to prevent the
child from eating candy SC near to meal
times as TO make him leave IL full plate oil
breakfast or dinner. But after meal he
eau eat as much as he chooses without pre-
occupying his appetite for the next. Good
candy eaten at the right time is an excellent
food.

The latest question in the world OF letters
Is whether the Emperor Napoleon shed tears
at Sedan. NJ. Amedee Achard says that the
Emperor left the town in plain clothes, smo.
king cigarette. NJ. Paul de Casaagnac as.
serls that he went out weeping, and in uni
form. The contradiction, says the Saturday
RegicW could hardly bo Ia more absolute
terms. II has been suggested that a man
might, With little care, smoke cigarette
aud cry at the same time, but IS difficult 10
see how he could be dressed both az a civilian
and as soldier. The other chroniclers and
Commentators who have Joined in the argu.
mept have not ranged themselves exactly on
one side on the other, but have modified and
transposed the statements Of the two leading
champions In various ways. Some hold
that the Emperor was in plain clothes and
cried others that he was in uniform and
did moi cly. There is u general agreement
that he smoked, which, considering his we'll
known habits, has certainly probability to
warrant il.

Forty na,,Icsnakcs In ono Log,

The Bedford PENN Inquirer is respon-
sible for the following, Last Saturday Mes.
srs. Isaac Wentz and Isaac Corl, Of Pavia,
Union Township, this county, very unex-
pectodly embarked in the snake trade, aud
for a short time drove a lirst.class Wholesale
business They were engaged at work on
Mr.. Vents premises, aud disturbing the
sumbers Of a huge ralllesnake, received the
usual warning. Upon looking around they
found the reptile ready for battle II took
but a moment TO dispatch him; but our
friends learned that this lone was only the
advan ce guard Of a regular den, for a short
distance in front ofthem five snake heads
protruded from hollow log. As they ap-
preached the snake fort the defendants drew
in, but kept up a terrible ratlling, The next
thing in order was to split the log. This
accomplished, revealed to our heroes a
crawling yellowsh'brown colored, horny
jointed mass Of snakes, and now the fun be-
gan. One by one their snakeships fell be-
meath the well.drected clubs, until the num-
Der slain amounted to thirty-nine, and, with
the one previously killed forty.

The ChOIerR-SOme Interesting Facts
About IL

Some few years ago, DR.. Guy, professor of
hygiene, at Kings College, London, drew
attention TO the fact that an outbreak OF
cholera was often preceded by nilder cpl
The prevalence OF the
latter malady during the past winter and
spring may seem to have been amply ac-
counted for by the exceptional severity Of
those seasons, but nevertheless it has its sig
nificance and warning. Both epdemics
have this in common-lhat they progress in
fatality to a certain point, and then gradual
ly subside. They are not subject to the
same fluctuations as bronchitis and diarrhus
fluctuations due 10 changes Of temperature
or other evident causes but are 10 very
considerable extent independent Of The ordi.
nary influences Of heat and cold.
There Is certainly no resemblance between
the present year and the year 1854, when
the last cholera epidemic prevailed. In 1854
the drOugh was general, aud although during
tine month OF July there was much rain, yet
the year altogether was a very dry one, and
from the commencement of March txtTatr T.
dinaTiy warm. The progress Of tive malady
when once it reached our shores (fur there
can be 20 doubt TINT il was imporled) was
very remarkable Til the middle OF July
hardly u case was known, hui before the end
of that month the deaths had iistn from five
to one bundled and tliitY-,hree. The dis
ease went on, increasing week by week, TIL
10 the eighth week il reached ITS maximum
mortality OF 2,0j0. 1t took thirteen weeks
to fall again to five end during tue whole
period Of lwenty-one weeks, there was no
ilucluatIon in its progress, and then in its
decline. This feature is one Of the most sti.
king characteristics Of the plague, and har.
monies with the theory that both are i'm.
ported diseases. Evidently, therefore, the
first duty OF the government is to watch the
ports, for, whether contagious or not, cholera
is not an epidemic Of home growth. 1t is an
unwelcome guest, which can be best dismiss
ed at the yery Threshold

A TOUCHING SCENE.
Astonishing Illustration of Dogs
Affection for His Dead Master.

Many instances have been recorded Of the
affection and sagaclty displayed by dogs
when their masters have dieG or been injur-
ed in any manner. Perhaps as affecting an
incident of this kind as ever witnessed was
the action cf The dog Pinch, owned by the
late Hod Morse, who was shot Friday night,
upon being shown the body OF his dead mas
ter, as II lay upon board Sunday morning,
preparatory to being placed in the coffin
Everybody who knew HOd knew Pinch, for
they were inseparable. An iron gray dog
of tue Scotch terrier breed, he was noted for
his sagacily and fighting qualities. Sunday
morning a friend of Holds, for the first time,
took the dog into the room where the re-
mains were. number Of Morses friends
were present at the time aud can vouch for
the accuracy of the story When let into the
room Pinch let bis head fall to the floor, and
with slow steps walked directly across to
where Holds body was lying. Stopping by
the body he raised his head aud began low,
mOnotonous howl. While uterng these
howls, Pinch would flom time to time look
around al the different men present as II ma
king a mute appeal TO be allowed TO have
access to the body. Noticing this, one OF
the men took a char and placed il by Holds
head. As soon as it was placed In position
the dog jumped upon the chair, and with his
fore paw brushed the cloth from his masters
face. After he had removed the cloth he
threw one leg over Holds breast, while he
laid his face on that OF his master and rub
bing 1t over a few times, commenced licking
it as II desirous OF awakening him. Seeing
thut this did not have the desired effect,
Pinch stopped, aud looking into Hods face
for moment, again commenced bowling,
or rather whining, in pililul manner. The
whole scene, taking in the surroundings,
was most sOrrowful one, and brought tears
and sobs from the men whom the world re-
gard as social Parahs, but in whom, as this
incident proved, all the better feelings had
not yet been deadencd. Pinch continued
his pantomime until seemingly convinced
that be could not arouse his master when he
Jumped down aud with slow steps lett the
room, never returning until after the body
had been conveyed 10 its fiual resting place
