BAIL.-The masquerade ball to be given

If IT is right for man to refrain from
making beast of himself, it is right for
him to take all necessary precautions against
beastliness. There are men whose moral
stamina has. become so weakened that they
cannot resist temptation. 1t is lawful
for them not only to pray, =" Lead us
not into temptation" but to take pledge of
their own honor that they will not go near
! it. tits pitiful condition to be in, no
doubt; but when man has fallen into it
total abstinence is the only way for
him. And if total abstinence is
right, it is right to promise total
abstinence. Is it wrong for man to
bind himself to do right ? There is such a
thing as making provision against the flesh,
so as not to fulfill the lusts thereof, and
there may be cases in which such a proyi-
sion indicates the highest virtue, if not the
strongest haractcr.-Independent.

The Work of the Leaf.

What does it do T? 1t pumps water from
the ground, through the thousands of tubes
in the stem of the tree, and sends it into
the atmosphere in the form of unseen mist,
to be condensed and fall in showers-the
very water that, were it not for the leaf,
would sink in the earth, and find its way
perchance through subterranean channels
to the sea. And thus it is that we see it
works to give us "the early and the latter
rain." 1t works to send the 'rills and
streams, like lines of silver, down the
mountain and across the plain. 1t works
to pour down the larger brooks Which turn
the wheels that energize machinery, which
gives employment to milllons-commerce
imulated-wealth accumulated, and in
telligence disseminated through the agen-
cy Of this wealth. The leaf does it all.
1t has been demonstrated that every
square inch of leaf lifts $500 Of an ounce
every "a hours. Now, large forest tree
has about acres of foliage, or 6,272 $40
square inches. This being multiplied by
$500, (the amount pumped by every inch,)
gives us the RESULT 1852 ounces, or l ,176
quarts, or 297 gallons, or 8 barrels. The
trees on an acre give 500 barrels in "a
hours. An acre of grass, or clover, or
grain, would yield about the same result.
The leaf is worker, too, in another
| field of labor, where we seldom look
where it works for the good of man in a
most wonderful manner. 1t carries inn
mense quantities of electricity from the
earth to the clouds, and from the clouds
to the earth. Rather dangerous business
transporting lightning but it is particular
| ly fitted for this work. Did you ever see
a leaf entire as to its edges? 1t is al
ways pointed, and these pointed edges,
be they large or small, are just fitted
to handle this dangerous agent. These
tiny fingers seize upon and carry it
away with ease and wonderful dispatch.
There must be no delay it is ''time
freight" True, sometimes 1t gathers up
more than the trunk can carry, and in the
attempt to crowd and pack the baggage the
trunk gets terribly shattered, and we say
that lightning struck the tree. But it has
been struck a thousand times before.
This time it was overworked.- Am. Eat.
