'rThe love OF Jesus, what 1t is

and SO credit the apostles assurance, 'all
things are for your sakes." Deeply sensible
of our undeservingness, as chief of sinners,
receiving all as grace, returning Him all
glory. Is it not His nature to bless? Has He
not in Jesus human heart formed for Him
self, as it were, receipt for the fullness of

precious ointment may descend ever to the

grace; if humbled, it is grace; if not revolt

VACCINATION AND DISEASE.

The most experienced vaccinators
on the one hand, and those who have
had most to do with infantile ailments
on the other, agree in the belief that
disease is not communicable by vac
cination. Mr.. Marson, an English
physician, in the performance of more
than fifty thousand vaccinations, 'Ehas
never seen other diseases commune
Gated with the vaccine disease, nor
does he believe in the popular reports
that they are so communicated" Mr..
Lees, whose observations were equally
extensive, has borne similar testimo-
ny. DIR. w. Jenner, who in six years
had some thirteen thousand sick adults
and children under observation, states
" that in no case had he reason to be-
lieve or even suspect, that any consti-
tutional taint had been communicated
from one person to another by vac
cination." During period of seven
teen years DIR. West treated twenty-six
thousand infants and children, with a
like experience; and Prof, Paget, after
an extensive familiarity with the dis
eases of children, expresses the opin-
ion that the worst which can be
charged upon vaccination is that, by
disturbing the general health, it may
rarely give opportunity for the exter-
nal manifestation and complete evolu-
ton of some constitutional affection
which, but for it, might have remained
rather longer latent. ia.5-
Where every person in community
has been properly yaccinated, there is
little chance for smallpox to obtain
fo0thold; and it is also very certain
that the presence of the unvaccinated
is a standing invitation to the devel-
opment and spread of epidemics. The
opponents of vaccination, and a far
larger number who from ignorance or
carelessness neglect the precaution,
thus become, so far as the public
health is concerned, dangerous
Glass;" which, like other dangerous
classes, it is for the interest of the
community at large to remove,-"Sci-
enttfc Miscellany" an November Gal

"I believe / will CO."
"Don't be in hurry, James," said
the landlord.

After an absence of some time the
landlord met and accosted him with,
" Hello, Jim, why amt you been down
to see us !"
"Why," said James, :" had taken
so many shingles off my house it be-
gan so leak, SO I thought it time to
stop the leak, and I have done it"
The astonished tavern-keeper went
home to tell his wife, and James has
ever since let rum alone; and attend

He is now a happy man, and his
wife and children are happy too.

PREVENTING CONSUMPTION. 1t is
not intended to give chapter on this
dire disease, consumption, believing
that few words on its prevention
will be more useful. To insure sue
cess we must begin with the infant
subject-the offspring of healthy an
cestors. Protectin infancy with soft
flannel next the skin, and let it breathe
pure air. In youth teach it that good
health is the greatest earthly blessing,
without it there can be no enjoyment
of life, and with it there can be no
complaint of its defects. Teach it
that good health, like an estate, may
be squandered, little by little, until it
is bankrupt. Teach it that temper
ance in all things is essential; that
there can be no. violation of the laws
of nature with impunity. Teach it to
sit and walk erect, that the chest may
be fully expanded. Do not suffer the
clothing to be so tight on the chest or
body as to interfere in the smallest
degree with the expansion of the
lungs. Keep the feet dry, use thick,
siled leather, loosely applied. Exer-
else several hours every day in the
open air. Choose virtuous and cheer
full companions, with whom singing
and laughing may be INDUCED in, and
finally, take time to eat and masticate
your food well.

We are just beginning, after all
these years, to find out why this gov
endment bought Alaska. Mr.. Seward
was always ambiguous, and would
never give the true reason; and no.
body else knew it. The transaction
was consummated for the purpose of
getting possession of the immense
ivory mines which underlie the whole
country. A San Francisco cotempo-
rary says cargo of fossil ivory lately
arrived at that port from Alaska, and
it adds the pleasing intelligence that
a so far as explored. tho banks of the
streams of Alaska abound in fossil
ivory. The marshes adjacent are full
of bones and tusks of ancient ele-
plants, many sticking out of the mud
like stumps. A member of the Alas
ka fur company affirms that there is
ivory enough on the Yukon, river to
supply the commerce of the world for
one hundred years. Whether this
ivory region extends across the North
American continent or is confined to
the country between the Pacific and
the mountain range, is not yet deter
mined" We think the chances are
that the region doesn't "extend across
the continent" but that It begins and
ends in Alaska.

CIVILIZATION AND PROGRESS
A ST. LOUIS FOGY.

An ancient Frenchman, who has
resided in the Florrissant Valley for
half century or more, came to the
city the other day to pay taxes. He
has known the Collector from the
childhood of the latter and therefore
paid up more willingly than he would
if his money was going into the hands
of a stranger. In doing so, however,
the old pioneer gave expression to his
feelings in an unreserved manner:
"Hey, Mistaire Magwire, you col
lect re tax, hey ?"
g Yes, sir, collect the tax and pay
the money over to the city, the county
and the State"
"What for you make him so much,
by gar?'
go, the progress of the country and
the civilization of the age demand
heavier taxes every year"
"Damn your civilization, and what
you call progress! Look here, Mis-
taire Magwire, some time, little
while ago, some men come to my
place in re Florissant, and stick down
some stakes, and put up three-legged
What make you here?' Zey say, we
make one railroad for civilization and
progress All right. Next two or
three days some more men come and
put down some stakes, and set up an
ozer three-legged stool and a telescope,
and say, what re hell is ziz? Zey
say, Railroad 1 say, Cd id re

must be oppose to ze civilization and

zation and progress! 1t make too
much tax In re good old time, when
nobody but Frencbmen live here, we
leave ze door wide open all night and
nobody steal. Now we lock re door
and put one iron bar zis way, and an
ozer cross zat way, and yet re burglaire

railroad you eat US up wiz re tax. You

And you cali zis civilization and pro-
gressi Pm id if I amt had little
too much civilization and progress.
What in HI is it good for if it don't
make men honest2 What il re good

to pay re tax ?"
The Collector undertook to argue
the case with the primitive settler,
but his antiquated ideas were too deep
~ fixed so he stalked away, cursing
re civilization and progress.-St.
Louis Democrat.

A BEAUTIFUL IDEA. - Away up
among the Alleghanies there is a
spring so small that single OK, on a
summers day, could drain it dry. 1t
steals its unobtrusive way among the
hills, till it spreads out into the beau
tiful Ohio. Thence it stretches away
thousand miles ;leaving on it's banks
more than hundred villages and
cities, and many a cultivated farm,
then joining the Mississippi it stretch
es away some twelve hundred miles
more till it falls into the emblem of
eternity. 1t is one of the greatest
tributaries to the ocean, which obedi-
ent only to God, shall roar till the
angel with one foot on the sea and
the other on the land, shall swear that
time shall be no longer. So with
moral influence. 1t is a rill--a rivu-
tet-an ocean and as boundless and
fathomless as eternity.
