Travelling Stones.

Many of our readers have doubtless
heard Of the famous travelling stones of
Australia. Similar curiosities have recent
ly been found iu Nevada, which are de-
scribed as almost perfectly round, the ma
jority of them as large as walnut, and of
an irony nature. When distributed about
upon the floor, table or other level surface.
within two or three feet of each other, they
Immediately begin travelling toward COM
mon center, and there huddle up in bunch,
like lot of eggs in a nest. A single stone
removed to distance of three and a half
feet, upon being released at once started
of, with wonderful and somewhat comical
CELEBRITY to join its fellows; taken away four
or five feet it remains motionless. They are
found in region that is comparatively
level, and is nothing but bare rock. Scat
tered over this barren region are little ba-
sins, from few feet to rod or two diam
eter, and it is in these that the rolling
stones are found. They are from the size
of pea to five or six inches in diameter.
The cause of these stones rolling together
is doubtless to be found in the material of
which they are composed, which appears
to be loadstone on magnetic iron ore.

"Kiss Me, Mother; For i Can't Hold on
any Longer"

In describing the flood which was SO dis
asterous to many sections of Virginia, the
Lynchburg papers record the following
very sad and touching incident A mother
and several little children were making
their escape from marrow neck of
land, which lies between the river and the
canal. They had reached the banks of the
canal when they were amazed to find that
the bridge was already gone; and their
only hope was to cling on to the abutment
of the bridge until the angry waters should
subside. But as they stood there clinging
to the abutmeDt, the waters continued to
rise higher and higher, while in the deep
darkness they could hear the crushing of
trees amid the thunders Of bridge timbers
that were wildly dashing all around them.
They had been in this desperate condition
for some time, when the little girl felt
that her strength was gone, and with avid
shrek of terror she exclaimed 'Kiss me
mother, ,for.I can't hold on any longer " and
with the warm pressure of that mothers
lips upon her cheek, she was swept away,
and was seen no more. Christian mothers
what a lesson is here for your sober renec-
ton, and to arouse your most anxious solici-
tude. These little ones that hang around
your knees-oh, how strong, and deep and
how irrepressible is that love which they
lavish upon you Think about the love.
and cherish it as you would hidden treas
ures and then again, think of this incident
as expressive Of the real spiritual condition
of your children. Ifyou are a Christian.
you know the dangers that encircle them.
The storm of sin is already raging, and ar
round you are dashing the wrecks and
ruins of other souls. There is thick
darkness that has settled down upon the
world, and if in your terrible anxiety you
will only listen, you can hear the shrieks
of others that are perishing, and the mad
dened rush of pent up waters that are
sweeping around you.

Made Him Pay.

When Gen. jackson was President, a
heartless clerk in the Treasury Depart
ment ran up an indebtedness with poor
landlady to $50, and then turned her off,
as he did every other creditor. She finally
went TO the President with her complaint,
and asked If he could not compel the clerk
to pay the bill. "He offers his note, {" she
said "but his note is good for nothing"
Said the President, "get his note and bring
it to me-" The clerk gave her the note
with the jeering request, " she would let
him know when she got the money on Il.
Taking it TO the President he wrote, ''An.
drew jackson" " ON the back of il, and told
her that she could get the money at the
bank. When it became due the clerk re-
fused TO pay the note, but when he learned
who was the ehdorser, he made haste 10
"raise the wind" The next morning he
found note on his desk saying that his
services were no longer required by the
government--and IL served him right.

Greeley on Maple Sugar.

a great many ridiculous funny things arc
published concerning Greeleys views on
agricu ltural affairs, of which the following
is sample;--Mr Greeley says the reason
there is scarcity of maple sugar this spring
is, that the farmers didn't more than half
manure their sugar seeds when they plant
cd them last fall. He says for every seed
you plant you want 'shole pile of manure,

with scolloped cakes. Farmers win never

Gbe Ginres, Nerp BLOOMFIELD, 1]a.

Granger had now made three payments.
For some moments he held it in his hands
looking at the face thereof. He saw writ
ten in clear figures the sum Of $500. Seven
ty of this had been paid. If he gave up or
destroyed the slip of paper he would lose
two hundred and thirty dollars. 1t was
something Of trial for one who loved
money SO well to come up squarely to this
issue. Something fell in between his eyes
and the note of the hand. He did not see
the writing and figures of the obligation,
but sad, pleading little face, and with the
vision of this face came to his ears the SEN
tence; No, dear, it's for your fathers
honor"
The debate in Mr.. Sterling's mind was
over. Taking up pen he wrote across the
face of Mr.. Granger S note the word g can

"What does this mean ?'' she asked,
looking bewildered. ..v slft..,r

but he left his honor in my keeping, and
must maintain it spotless." c.,..
"That you have already done, . answer
ed Mr.. Sterling, speaking through emotions
that were new to him, "It's as white as
snow"
Then he thrust back upon her the twenty
dollars she had just paid him. .,.--
No, Mr.. Sterling" the widow said.
"It shall be as will p was the response.
81 would rather touch fire than your money; /;
every dollar would burn my conscience like

to be pure and upright. When God took
him, He assumed his earthly debts, and did
not leave upon you the heavy burden of
their payment. But he left you another
and most sacred obligation, which you have
overlooked in part"
"What9" asked the widow, in an almost
startled voice. .s-..... ...........

Under Providence this circumstance was
the means of breaking the hard crust of
selflshness and cupidity which had formed
around his heart. He was not only gener-
GUS to the widow in after years, but doer
of many deeds of kindness and humanity
to which he had been in other times stran-
ger.

which illustrates the principle that "ridi-

cars one day the President deserted one Of
his students, youth of regrctable habits
