Many man iB rTcn without money
Thousands Of men with nothing in Their
pockets, are rich. A man born with a
good, sound constitution, good stomach,
good heart and good limbs, and pretty
good head-piece, is rich. Good bones
are better than gold; tough muscles than
silver; and nerves that fash fire and
carry energy to every function are better
than houses and lands.
1t is better than a landed estate to
have had the right kind of father and
mother. Good breeds and bad breeds
exist among men as really as among
herds and horses. Education may do
much to check evil tendencies, or to
develop good ones; but it is great
thing to inherit the right proportion of
facilities to start with.
The man is rich who has good dis
position-who is naturally kind, has o
flavor of wit and fun in his composition.
The hardest thing to get along with in
this life is mans own self A cross,
selfish fellow, Responding and COM
planning fellow-a timid, care born de-
formed on the inside. Their feet may
not limp, but thoughts do.

A Pitiful Condition.-It Is sad thing
to pass through life only half alive. Yet
there are Thousands whose habitual con-
dition is one Of langour and dsbiI-
ity. They complain Of no specific disease
they suffer no positive pain; but they have no
relish for anything which affords mental or
sensuous pleasure TO their more robust and
energetic fellOw-beings.
In nine cases out Of ten this state Of lassi-
tude and torpor arises from a morbid siam
ach. Indigestion destroys the energy Of both
mind and body. When the waste Of nature i
not supplied by due and regular assimiIa-
ton Of the food. every organ is starved, every
function interrupted.

Mayor Davis, of Cincinnati, has is
sued an order prohibiting music in the
various beer gardens of that city on
Sundays, which has created rare ex-

was introduced into these summer re-
sorts three years ago, and has been a
great success in the sense OF inducing
large attendance, while the number OF

day School Advocate, thus speaks of the
celebrated Craig Microscope:
"Its simplicity, cheapness and great
magnifying power, struck me with sur,
prise. When | was examining fy's eye
by its aid, was struck with wonder at
the skill and power of the Creator, which
is displayed in its structure. When saw
statement in an advertisement that the
Craig Microscope magnifed one hundred
diameterS, and could be bought for $500,
| thought it was one Of the humbugs o.
the hour, for l had paid $40 for micro
scope not long before. But now l find it
to be really valuable instrument, which
| should like to see introduced into the
families of our readers in place of the man.
fold useless toys which please for an hour
and are then destroyed This microscope
would both amuse and instruct them, and
l advise every boy and girl who wishes to
know the wonders which lie in little things
to save his money until he has $500,
which will pay for the microscope and the
postage when sent by mail"

"a TALE OF SIN"-We have received
from the Publishers, L. R. Hamersley &
Co., copy of a very fascinating and ad-
mirably written story of English life, by
Johnny Ludlow, a celebrated London Mag
azine writer, entitled "a Tale Of Sin, y"
but as the author remarks, it is more a
tale of suffering than of sin. The book
is telling satirs on that condition of
English society which prevents English
noblemen from marrying the daughters Of
those who are held to be below them in
life. "a Tale of Sin," is handsomely
printed on fine white paper, and embellish
ed with a we'll executed engraving of
Mary Layne, the unfortunate heroine of
the story. The price is 35 cents, and it
can be obtained only from the Publishers.

~ \ laughable thing took place at a
revival meeting somewhere in Mississippi
not long since. The minister noticed a
seedy looking chap in one of the seats,
looking as though he needed religion or a
good square meal. So he stepped up to
him and asked him if he was Christian.
"No, SIR, said he, 81 asa the editor OF

"Then in the name Of God. let US pray"
replied the devoted minister.
