Where to Settle-Healthy Localities.

People arc growing wiser on the sub- iect of health. They appreciate it's i'm portance and value better than they used to.
 When they are looking for new home now, their first inquiry is, is it healthy
 This is wise. No matter how fertile the lands may be, no matter how beauti- fnl the rivers, or sunny the skies, man should not dwell where health is not.
 Nothing compensates for the less of health. What avails your immense growth of crops, if the fever and ague be growing in your blood and bones with like exuberence?
 Emigrants to the West cannot be too careful on t"is point. To say nothing of the danger to ones self, what moral right has any person to expose his family and children unnecessarily to illness and death
 The mistake for long time prevailed of re garding chills and fever as temper ary and rather contemptible inconveni- ence merely. People laughed and joked about 'The shakes" as if it were some thing they could soon shake off.
 But experience has shown that chills and fever impair the strength of the constitution, and expo it to other and moro directly fatal diseases,
 Health and happiness are almost as nearly related as twin brothers. It is not wolth while to try to seperate them. Ledger.

ANECDOTES OF JOHN BUNYAN.-To pa.

ANECDOTES OF JOHN BUNYAN.-To pass away the gloomy hours in prison, Bunyan took rall out of tue stool belonging to the cell, and with his knltc fashioned 1t into q. flute. The keeper, hearing music, followed the sound to Bunyan's cell but while he was unlocking the door the in- genious prisoner placed the rail in the stool, so that the searchers were unable to solve the mystery nor, during the re- mainder of Bunyan's residence Tn the jail, did they ever discover how the music had been produced. In an old account of Bed ford, there is an equally good anecdote, to the effect that Quaker called upon Bun- yan in jail one day with what he prolesscd to be message from the Lord. After searching for thee," sai6 he, "ln halt the jails of England, am glad to have found thee at last" '.lf the Lord sent thec," said Buuyan, sarcastically, "you would not have needed to take so much trouble to find me out, for He knows that I have been in Bedford jail these seven years past"
 REFORMED BY PRAYER.-A sensational story comes from Sheffield, Eng, to the effect that lady there has just met, in the person of minister of tse gospel, q burglar whom she, several years ago, discovered under her bed one night as she was about to retire. Sue gave nc alarm. but knelt and prayed so fer. ventlv for the reclamation of sinners with guilty purposes in their hearts, thai the burglar left her unmolested, and from that night dated his reformation,

Trout and their Color.

A correspondent who has studied the character and habits of the trout, writes that they are not nearly so delicate fish as is generally supposed. At farm yard in Vermont they have two trout, about six inches or moro in length, living in a wooden trough out of which the cart horses drink. They were caught Tn a stream last August, and throughout a severe cold spell have lived, and ap- parently continued in good condition, al though sometimes in passing our corre- spondent had seen the water so firmly frozen, and the ice apparently reaching so low, that the trout had scarcely room to swim. When fresh water is put in they always come to the place where it is poured, and seem to look for any par ticles of food, or any insects that may come in with it. They feed on worms which the boys bring them, and which they take immediately without fesr. The change of color in fish is very re- m,.rkable, and takes place with great rapidity. Put living black trout into white basin of water, and it becomes, within half an hour, of a light color. Keep the fish living in white jar for some days, and it becomes absolutely white; but put it into dark eolored or black vessel, and although on being first placed there, the white colored fish shows most conspiciously on the black ground, in Q quarter of an hour it be- comes as dark colored as the bottom of the jar, and consequently difficult to be seen. No doubt this facility of adapting its color to the bottom of the water in which it lives is of the greatest service to the fish. in protecting it from it's num- erous enemies. All anglers must have observed that, in every stream, the trout are very much of the same color as the gravel or sand on which they live. Whether this change of color is volun tary CT involuntary act on the part of the fish, we leave 1t for the SC ientifc to de- termine.
