The DAY OF REsT.-I think, with a shudder,
sometimes of what life would be without Sunday
if day after day the great wheel of the world
went round with its ceaseless CHATTER, never a rest
in motion, never a pause in sound. l speak of
the Sabbath only in its original meaning, as a
word that signifies rest. And in this sense it is
by most men, and ought to be by all, esteemed
as the very greatest of all blessings which AL
mighty benevOlence has bestowed ON man. The
worst Sabbath-breaker of all is the migrate who
is not thankful when the Sabbath comes round.
He may go to church three times a day, and be
austere in all outward observance, but he breaks
the Sabbath in his heart if he ~rejoices when it is
over. There are many kinds of worship, and l
am humbly disposed to think that the giving of
thanks is not the least acceptable of them. IF it
be true that Lab0rdre est Orare, we are praying
during six days of the week, and may devote the
seventh to praise. He who thoroughly enjoys his
day of rest lives from morning till night in a
state of thankfulness to the Almighty the in
cense of praise is continually rising from his
heart. l do not envy the man who does not hail
the advent of Sunday, and rejoice in the rest
which it vouchsafes.

APoTHECARIEs' CLERKS IN PRUssIA.-Ihe I'M
portance of placing the business of dispensing
drugs and medicines in competent hands is fully
recognized in Prussia, where the most stringent
regulations are enforced in regard to the quallti-
cations of apothecaries. To become an apotheca-
ries' apprentice there, an applicant must first pass
an examination in Latin, physics, botany and other
natural sciences before a board comprising the
district physician and a notary and if this is
satisfactory, he gets a permit to serve as an ap-
prentice for four years in a pharmacy, during
which he is allowed to compound drugs in the
laboratory, but not to put up prescriptions until
the fourth year, and then only under the strict
surveillance of the proprietor or of a responsible
drug clerk. At the expiration Of this term he
has an examination as drug clerk. under direction
of an examining board composed of two physi-
clans. two apothecaries and a notary. Success
entities him to a diploma as a drug clerk, and
after this he must serve as a clerk solely, and IN
different pharmacies, four years more four
years in one place will not fulfill the requirements
of the law. After this the clerk must spend one
year in the university to complete his studies,
and then comes still another examination, after
which, if he comes out of the final examination
with credit, he receives his diploma as an apothe-
cary, and is allowed to buy an established stand
or to become a member of a firm already in exist
ence, if he can but he cannot set up a new
pharmacy, as the number of these is regulated by
law, one being allowed to every 1000 inhabitants.

Mr.. Lennox, of New York, the owner of the

after a few years, is a recluse in his habits, and

Some time ago Henry Ward Beecher was anxious
to gain admission to the library to consult a rare
volume which could only be found there. The
person in charge told him the admission was
impossible, and that the owner could not be seen
by anybody. Beecher, however, desired Linn to
take his card to Mr.. Lennox, which was finally
done. "Beecher," said the scholarly hermit, as
he looked at the card, " who is this man? | have
never heard of him. Give him my compliments,
and tell him the library is not open to visitors"

SILVER IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Discovery OF an Ancient
Silver Mine Ina Rome county.

81 FcA ~, - = ~O--
A letter to the Bellaire Standard con-
tains the following statements: 59
There is agood deal of excitement now
in Roane county, West Virginia, about a
silver mine that was discovered in 1869
but not made known till lately. 1t was
discovered by A. s.. Hickel, owner of the
land on which the mineral was found.
He saws as he was going through the
wood he noticed pine knot through the
heart of white oak tree, and thinking it
to be strange phenomenon of nature,
examined it particularly, and founditto
be nature work of art. This led him
to believe that there was some valuable
object to which this was a guide. He
accordingly went in the direction indi-
Gated, and found another of the same
description, and also on either side.of the
line was a astone,buried Ia the grooves cut,
the courses of which bisected the courses
of the pine knots. At the point Of inter-
section is the Idine, which has proven to
be a rich silver mine, 70 the satisfaction
of the owner.
On examination we 6pd that i has
been worked at some time in the past,
On the south side about twenty yards is
a sandstone about six feet square, with
grooves cut in it running to 0 point.
The rock has been burned on top and
not on the bottom, and is supposed to
have been the bottom Of the furnace, I
Cindsrs are found in great abundance,
and picks destroyed by rust were also
discovered. About three hundred yards
from the mine are over one hundred
graves. 49,
The veins Of ore are in triangular
shape, and are six feet wide and three
feet deep; supposed to run to pointten
or twelve feet back. There are three
kinds of ore, rose color, gray and black
mixed, specimens of all of which may
be seen at the Standard Office.
A company has commenced work and
no doubt will make it pay. Fifty pounds
of the ore were sent to Steubenyille last
week TO Professor Filson, to examine
and find out what per cent. it will yield.
The excitement is almost as high in that
section as it was at the discovery of oil.
There is no land for sale for miles
around, all thinking that it is a huge
mass Of silver.
I If this should prove as they think,
the Indian saying will be taken more
account Of in the future. They tell us
that they could shoe our horses cheaper
with silver than we do with iron.
The editor Of the Standard says the
specimens shown him have the appear
ance Of pure silver.

In ante-bellum times there lived at the
South a lady who was legal owner of
many slaves, and upon whom was devol-
we'd the care of the estate. A friend who
knew her informs us, that in case of a
death among her servants she used to
write in her account book-"Gone - his
Tor herr rightful owner" Notwithstand-
ing the strange inconsistency involved in
such an acknowledgment, it must be con-
fessed there is something touching. and
even sublime, in the grand recognition at
last of a common humanity, common re-
lation to the Divine Fatherhood. Self-in-
terest, or even false sense of kindness
to the slave, might seem to disregard it,
till death forces the truth to the surface,
and buries all of human ownership.
Could it be that the lady thought by such
a truthful record, to atone for the wrongs
Of years?

DARK HoURs.-There are dark hours
that mark the history of the brightest
years. For not whole month in any of
the thousand passed, perhaps, has the sun
shone brilliantly all the time. And there
have been dark, cold and stormy days in
every year. And yet the mists and shad-
ows of the darkest honrs were dissipated,
and fitted heedlessly away. The cruelest
of the ice letters have been dissolved and
the most furious storm loses its power to
alarm. What parable is all this of hui
man fear of our inside world where the
heart works at its destined labor. Here,
too, we have the overshadowing of dark
hours, and many cold blast chills the
heart to its core. But what matters it !?
Man is born a hero, and it is only by dark
ness that heroism gains its greatest and
best development and illustration that
kindles the black cloud into blaze of
glory, and the storm bears it rapidly to its
destiny. Despair not, them Disappoint-
ment viii be realized. Notifying effect
may attend this effort and that one, but
only be honest and struggle on, and all
will work well.
