How we go to Sleep.

The order in which the muscles
lose their power is worth knowing.
The muscles which move the arms
and legs usually become relaxed be-
fore those which maintain the body
in an erect position. In relation to
the social senses, that of sight is
first lost, the eyelids forming a bar
rier between the retina and external
world; but independently of eye
lids, if they had been removed by
the surgeon, or could not be closed
by disease, this is still the first
sense whose function is abolished.
Taste is first to disappear, and then
smell; hearing follows, and touch
is the most persistence of the
senses. So, conversely, a person is
most easily awakened by the sense
of touch; next in order by souI.d,
and then by smell.

Something to Cling to.

The soul of man is q clasping,
clinging soul, seeking something
over which it can spread itself, and
by means Of which it can support
itself. And just as in neglected
garden you may see the poor creep
ers making shift to sustain them
selves as best they can; one convol-
vulus twining round another, and
both dragging on the ground; 3
clematis leaning on the door, which
viii by and by open and let the
whole mass fall down; a vine or a
passion-fower wreathing round a
prop which all the while chafes and
cuts it; SO in this fallen world it is
mournful to see the efforts which
human souls are making to gel
some sufficient object to lean upon
and twine around.-JGmes HomH.

Temptation

Many horses fall at the bottom OF
L hill because the driver thinks the
danger past and the need to hold the
reins with firm grip less pressing.
So it is often with us when we are
not specially tempted to avert sin,
we are the more in danger through
slothful ease. l think it was Ralph
Erskine who said, There is no dew
H. The worst temptation that ever
oyertakes us is, in some respects,
preferable to our becoming carnally
secure and neglecting to watch and
pray.

Showers and Snails

After refreshing shower which
has made all the flowers to smile
till the tear-drops of joy stand in
their eyes, you will see your gar
den-paths spotted over with slugs
and snails. These creatures lay
concealed till the genial rain called
them forth to make their Shiny way
toward whatsoever they might de-
YOUR. After this fashion revivals of
necessity develop hypocrites, yet
who would deplore the shower be-
cause Of the snails, and who would
rail at times of-refreshing" be
cause mere pretenders are excited
to make a base profession Of a
grace to which they are strangers:

Set a Good Example.

W llllam f-",waS q salesman
in an apothecary store in one of our
large cities. In cities doctors do
not carry medicines with them, but
when ever they visit a sick man
they write out prescription of the
medicine which he needs. Then
the friends of the man send to an
apothecary store and get the medi-
cine that is ordered. Sometimes a
mixture of several different kinds,
is wanted, and is prepared by the
Oldest salesman in the store. Viii.
liam's duties were mainly the put
ting up of prescriptions, (as the
doctors orders are called but in
cluded, also, the selling of soda
water, soap, brushes and whatever
fancy articles they keep at a retail
drug store.
One day, Mr.. Brown, the propri
etor of a large store near by,sent for
William.
Il want to go TO Europe said
he, in about a month; and l want
you to come and take charge of my
store while I'm gone"
Il would like to come, sir, if nv
present employer can spare me-"
Il trust he will-for | want YOU.
L think You can manage the bust
ness proftably. 1 will give You
nearly double your present salary"
swell, sir" replied William, 81
will gladly come If i can be spared;
but there is one point on which, /
fear, L shall differ with you"
What is that asked Mr..
Brown.
Il cannot consent to sell or help
others to sell anything but medi-
cines on Sunday
Here we must explain that it is
necessary for drug stores to sell
medicine on the Sabbath. II they
did not, some one might suffer for
want OF it before Monday morning.
But many dealers take advantage
Of this, and keep their stores open
ON the Sabbath and sell such things
as soda water and perfumery. There
is no necessity for these; everybody
can buy them on Saturday, or can
do without them. For this reason
1t is wrong to sell them on Gods
holy day, and William was right in
replying, Il cannot consent to sell
anything but medicine on Sun.
day."
why so, sir?" replied Mr..
Brown.
Because / do not think it right
to sell ordinary goods on that day"
"But that will not suit me-" said
Mr.. Brown, sit will be great loss
TO cut of my Sunday business"
"l am sorry" said William ''that
| cannot suit you.''
Here the conversation ended.
William had lost the offer of fine
salary because of his resolution.
Sometimes God lets us suffer in
this world for trying to do right,
but promises us, if we try in the
right way, = reward in heaven.
Sometimes he rewards us on earth.
So it was in Williams case.
In about two weeks Mr.. BROWN
sent for him, and engaged him to
take charge of the store with the
understanding that the Sabbath
should be respected.
But William had another reward.
besides the large salary; when Mr..
Brown returned from Europe, he
thought about Williams argument.
He asked himself, Have ! right
to sell other things than medicine
on the Sabbath" and he answered
il for himself: mo, ] have not"
Williams example had helped some
one else to do right. Is your ex
ample, my dear boy, helping some
body else to do right or to do
wrong?-Christian O6servsr.

How Old Are You.

Few are free from the charms of
youth. Wit, sense, intelligence, and
the wisdom which only comes with cx-
perience, do not with many, recon-
pense for a wrinlllcd face and other
tell tale indications of the approach of
age. Thus faliiblc is the Judgment of
humanity. Women are far more scnsi-
tive than men on this subject. Not,
as many suppose, because of greater
vanity. Men are received more ac-
cording to the contents Of their heads
than for the cut Of their figure and per-
sonal beauty, while if woman can
only look pretty it is considered the
greatest success she can achieve. While
personal beauty is by no means to be
dGsplscu, 1t is wrong to place SO high
an estimate upon it; that pretensc and
falSehOOd are deemed essential to pre-
serve its illusions and scmbIances long
after the reality has departed.
y woman is q marvel who willingly
acknowledges herself to be thirty years
Of age until she is at least forty; and
how slowly even twenty-five draws
near to spinster. Eight or ten year,
docs she attempt to ward of that first
dreaded turning point from blooming
youth. But time Is merciless and
strides along at his own measured pace,
bringing evidences Of his presence that
Will not lie to those who closely OBJ
serve his traces.
The hand tells Il PERSONS age with
perfect accuracy. You may cover the
wrinklcd face with cosmetics most an
tistically used, and look as young and
as fresh as girl, but the hand will tell
an honest story.
Youth and beauty are the flowers Of
humanity, which fill the world with
music joy and innocence, but they arc
transclcnt like the flowers. 1t requires
sturdicr plants TO perpetuatc life and
vigor.
Middle age is the sturdy time Of life,
so grandly fraught with opportunities
for good and happiness, that neither
man nor woman should effect Il lender
er, less potent season.

dignity, and stamps the mind that
should be we'll stored with unfl.ling

The Germans in Michigan.

Tho feelings Of the Germans in the
country in this Presidential campaign
arc pretty well exhibited by the atti-
tudc OF tho German press and the Gree
ley and Grant question. An over
whclming majority of them are in fa-
Nor Of the election of Horace Greeley
to the Presidential chair. The German
press and German citizens Of Michigan
share the sentiments of their brethren
i'll the country at large. In this State
there arc seven German papers, and
six of these have declared for the Gin
cinnati and Baltimore nominees. And
the standing of the press is fair reflex
Of the opinions of the people. Six
ScVcntlls OF tho Germans Of Michigan
are bent on the defeat of Grant and the
election Of Greeley this fall, and they
arc equally determined upon the re-
hemption of the State from Chandler
ism. They constitute, of themselves, Il
force almost sufficient to swing Michi-
gan into tic Greeley column.

American politics. All the money, art

Gen. Banks Letter.

The following is the full text of Gen.
Banks letter declining to address the
Grant Republicans at Lynn, Mass:
BOSTON, July 31.-Dear Sir: I have
the honor to acknowledge by this note,
in addition to our conversation to-day,
the receipt Of your invitation to address
the citizens Of Lynn on Thursday even
ing, in supporting Of the reelection of
the Grant policy and his administra-
ton. No invitation could have greater
weight with me from any part of the
country, or from any part of my fellow
citizens, and it gives me pleasure to
assure you that nothing could be added
to your suggestions as the representa-
tive of the citizens OF Lynn to induce
me to accede to their request. Their
kindness to me many years. ago is Il
continued life remembrance. Nothing
could give me greater satisfaction than
to renew my associations with them,
but regret to say that l am not in ac-
cord with them in the Presidential can
vass. Against my wishes and personal
interests l am compelled to believe and
to say that the pursuit of the present
policy Of the Government is not for the
advantage of the country and that it
will not tend to establish its former
good and prosperity, nor promote the
interest of any class of citizens. No
personal feeling of any form or charac
ter enters into this Judgment. 1t is in
view Of general principles and public
interests alone that I am led to this
conclusion. Unity of the masses of
people of all parties, sections and races,
in support of the. grand result of the
war is indispensable to the permanent
establishment of general recognition
NF T.
no other means. We shall all be forced
to this conclusion sooner or later. This
united action, this basis has been the
hope of my life. 1 fervcntIy desired it
during the war, and in the reconstruc-
ton of the States subsequent to the war.
I believe it is now rendered in good
faith in the nomination of Mr.. Greeley,
and for one cannot reject it. 1t was
what desired, and its contamination,
although sudden and startling, does
not alarm me. My duty to my coun-
try and myself, requiring me to give
him my support, I cannot advocate
before our friends u different course,
which neither my judgment nor my
heart approves.
1t grieves me most deeply to sepa-
rate in thought or action, with any one
of those with whom I have been so
long associated, and to whom ! am SO
greatly indebted. I believe tho result
will justify my action. Give to the
country peace and prosperity, which is
the object Of our labors, and secure to
every citizen civil and political equality
and freedom, which was won by the
sacrifice of so many valuable lives.
Accept the assurance Of my lasting
friendship and esteem, and believe me,
Yours truly, N. p. BANKS.
