Beautiful Extract.

I saw a temple reared by the bands
of men, standing with its high pin
nacles in the distant plain. The
streams beat upon 1.-THE God of
Nature hurled his thunder bolt
against it-and yet it stood, as firm
as adamant. Reyelry was in its walls
the gay, the happy and the beau
tiful were there returned, and the
temple was no more, it's high walls
lay scattered III ruins moss and
wild grass grew wildly there. The
young and the gay who reVelled there
had passed away.
1 saw q child rejoicing IN his
youth-the idol of his mother, the
pride of his father. I returned, and
the child had become old-trem bling
with the weight of years, he stood
the last of his generatiOn-a stranger
amidst the desOlation around him.
1 saw an old oak stand in all its
pride, ON the mo1ntains-the birds
were carroliiDg IN its boughs. 1
returned, the oak was sapless, the
winds were playing at their pastime
through it's branches. Who is the
Destroyer" said 1 to my guardian
angel.
"It is Time" said he. "When the
morning stars sang together in joy,
ever the new made world, he com
menced his course, and when he
shall have destroyed al! that is beau
tiful Of the earth-plucked the sun
from his sphere-veiled the moon
into blood yea, when he shall have
rolled heaven and earth away as a
scroll, then shall an angel from the
Throne of God come forth, and with
one foot on the sea and one on the
land, lift up his hand toward Heaven,
and swear by Heavens eternal,
Time is, Time was, but Time shall
be no more p

Electrical Wonders.

By the mirror galvanometer Of
Sir William Thomson, which was of
the utmost importance in securing
the success of the Atlantic Cable, a
ray of light is reflected from a min
ute mirror that Is attBched to
magnetic needle. When the cleo
trio current passes the magnet Is de-
flectsd, and the movement of the
reflected spot of light over a scale
indicates the resistance to the pass
age of the current The united
weight of mirror and magnet is
three-quarters of a grain.
During the experiments with the
Atlantic Telegraph both cables were
connected at the American end, Civ
ing circuit of more than four
thousand miles, yet current pass
ed through the whole distance in less
time than a person could pass across
the small room In which the expert
ment was made-and, most wonder
full OF all, the battery that accom-
plished this result was contained IN
a Iady's silver thimble.-.ScTibney'S s.

Chronic Diseases.

Most chronic diseases, and many
acute ones are produced at the table.
As n rule, no fluid of any kind
should be taken at the table, esPe-
cially if the stomach is weak. The
stomach should never be overloaded:
not more than two or three articles
should be taken at one meal; no
stimuiants used before eating; to-
bacco arrests digestion. Milk is the
best diet for infants and children.
Tomatoes with cream and sugar are
healthy and nutritious. Bread and
butter is the staff of life, and east
Iy digested. Too much salt irritates
the stomach. Colds are frequently
produced by drinking hot tea and
exposure afterwards. Late suppers
induce heart disease. Pastry and
cakes constipate the bowels. Boiled
potatoes are not as healthy as baked
ones. Fruits are to be eaten ut
breakfast and dinner, The stomach
requires much rest to be healthy;
purgative medicines weaken the
bowels. Cheerful conversation pro-
notes digestion, anger prevents it.

TIE FAIR SEX.

SOMEBODY has written Useful
Hints for Ugly Girls" as if any girl
would admit that they referred to
her.
A CLUB of Boston ladies are hard

passage of a city ordinance proVid-
ing that all tobacco chewers shall be

ALADY about to marry was warned
that her intended, although a very
good man, was eccentric. Well, she
said, If he is very unlike other men,
he is more likely to be a good hus-
band
The pale tints which have been so
fashionable are not likely to continue
In fashion, since the autumn and
winter demand deep, bright, warm
hues, and but very few ladies can
wear the pale colors with satisfac-
ton.
PRoF. KSOwLsTON says that girls
grow into just such women rs men
like. If, he says, we want them
stronger and nobler, we must appre
ciate and encourage all who try to
give themselves the old fashioned,
simple, healthful training.

Cure of the Eyes.

When will those working by lamp
light have the sense to understand
the use of shades to protect the
eyes a.? We see persons sitting hold
ing their sewing or other work be-
fore and near to a lamp, while the
light is blazing full into their eyes.
It is plain that the object that they
work upon can not be seen with so
great distinctness while the field of
their retina is already occupied by a
blaze. But they work on for hours,
and though the next moring their
visual organs tell of the abuse by
redness and Inflammation, the work
ers too dull to learn the lesson OF ex.
perience offered them. Circular pa
per shades can be obtained for few
cents, and those not only protect
the.eyes from the excess of light, but
serve as a reflector behind the blaze,
increasing the illumination One-half
Besides the above mentioned,
there is that of the varying quantity
of light thrown into the eye by its
being suddenly and alternately
directed toward the blaze, or OBJ
iquely directed away from it, by
which the pupil has no time to adapt
itself to the increase of glare
whereas with the use of the shade
tie illumination would be uniform.
The number Of persons in the COM
munity having spots, light or dark,
in their field of vision, aud arising
from injury to the retina by the i'll
usages which we are mentioning, is
greater than is commonly imagined.
1t must be borne in mind that these
spots are a serious step toward am
aurosi and guttaserena, such as
plunged in darkness the latter years
of the great Milton, and many 9th
ers more eminent for their talent
than their caution. Look we'll to
the preservation of your vision.

moisture to the eye! Woe to the

Eeighborhood do not miss at death !;
whom the widow and fatherless do
not mourn as departed friend
whose departure is advertised, not
in the obituary of the press, but in

from the bedside of the sick, and
needed comforts from the homo of

Unclo Bernard. I cried, sob
bing, forgive me, have sinned
against heaven and against you"
I" What have you done ?" he said
gently.
"I climbed a beech tree on the
Altenberg, to steal a birds nest, and
the branch broke"
"BrokeP" o my child ~
Yes, and God saved me by let
ting me catch another. branch But
now the old birds arc calling to me
for their young ones they will not
let me sleep"
My uncle was silent for awhile,
and [ wept bitterly.
Uncle" l said again, "I listen
cd to the shell this evening, but
everything is broken and confused.
1t can never come right again"
Then he took me in his arms and
said gravely:
"I forgive you; but let this be a
lesson TO you. Think of the grief
should have felt if you had been
brought home dead. Well, the poor
father and mother of the blackbirds
are as unhappy as I should have
been. Since you are sorry, I must
forgive yOu. Go to bed now the
poor old birds will not disturb you
any more. May God forgive you
for Christ's sake. But after to-mor-
row you shall not keep goats any
longer a boy of your age ought to
go to school,"
went up to my room and slept
quietly.
The next day Uncle Bernard took
me himself to our ola schoolmaster,
Toby Veyverius. To tell the truth,
it was very hard for the first few
days to be shut up in the house
from morning till night, without
daring to move. 1 longed for the
open air, but nothing is gained in
this world without trouble, and, at
last, work became a pleasant habit.
1t is even, all things considered, the
purest and most substantial of our
enjoyments. It is only by work
that we can become mon and make
ourselves useful to others.
Uncle Bernard is very old now.
He spends his time before the stove
in winter, and on the stone bench
in front of the house in summer. l
start on horseback at Gaybreak, and
come back in the evening tired out.
It is a wearisome life, especially
whom the snow is deep; but that
docs not prevent my being happy.
The shell is still in it's place.
Sometimes take it up and hear it
humming the echo Of my thoughts.
They arc not always joyful. Some
times they are sad when one of my
poor patients is dying and 1 cannot
help him; but they are never
threatening as they were the night
of the adventure with the birds
nest.
He only is happy who can listen
without fear to the voice of his con-
science. Whether he be rich or
poor, he enjoys the most perfect
happiness that man can feel in this
world.

Chinese Drink.

The prevailing idea that tea is the
ordinary drink of the whole Chinese
people is pronounced, by a writer in
Peierma,rn's lIiHbetiuHgen, to be a
mistake. mThe people of the lower
classes, he says, especially IN the
northern provinces, only know it as
a luxury, and drink hot water with
as much pleasure rs the wealthy do
their tea. Even drinking in the
provinces where tea is grown tea
drinking is not general. The plant
grows on hills, often not less than a
thousand feet above the nearest val
leys, the inhabitants of which must
therefore buy their tea from plan
ters," which they don't often do
taking in It's stead hot water, or,
what is more common, al infusion
of the leaves of other plants which
grow wild in the fields. These facts
seem to lead to the inference that
the use of tea in China has arisen
from the aversion of Chinese to
drinking cold water.

Geography Revised,

A German poet has recently pub

however, some trihing inaccuracies
in geography appear. The hero Is
represented as being devoured by an
alligator under a palm tree on the

heroine hears of the terrible fate of
her lover, down IN the everglades of
Florida, near the banks of Lake
Superior, where she is living, and
rushes down South to Lake Erie,
and lays in wait for that crocodile,
captures him, cuts him open, ez-

purchases q rich coffin, and has him

n Experiment with Paper Car Wheels

An Experiment with Paper Car Wheels
The Springfield Republican saws
Connecticut River Railroad com
pany is about introducing, for trial,
a set of paper car wheels under the
| forwBrd truck of one of its engines.
! These wheels have been known to
car-builders for some time, but the
| demand for them has been moderate
on account of their cost, notwith-
| standing the universally-admitted
! fact that they are safe and easy go
ing. The wheels are manufactured
by bringing a pressure of $50 tons
uDon sheets of common straw paper,
which forces them into a compact
which is then turned perfectly round
and the hub forced into a hole in
the centre, this eluiring pressure
of 25 tons weight. The tire is of
steel and has one quarter inch bev-
el uDon its inner edge, thus allowing
the paper telling to be forced In, 25O
tons pressure being required IN the
process. Two iron plates, one upon
each side of the paper, are bolted
which prevents the posi-
bility of the filings coming out. The
tire rests upon the paper only and
partakes of its elasticity in conse-
quence- Although these wheels are
much more expensive than those in
common use, the patented Gains
that they are cheaper in the end, as
they wear longer. iDjure the track
less, and run with less noise than
wheels of any other pattern.

Gentle Words.

There is a magic power in gentle
words, the potency of which few
natures are so icy as wholly to resist.
Would you have your home a cheer
full, hallowed spot, within which may
ever be found that happiness and
peace which the world denieth to it's
votaries? Let no harsh word be
uttered within its walls. Speak
gently to the wearied husband, who,
with an anxious brow, returns from
the perplexities of his daily avoca-
tiOns, and let him, in his turn, speak
gently to the care worn woman, who,
amid her never ending round of little
duties, finds rest and encourage
ment in the sympathy of him she
loves. Speak gently to the wayward
child pleasant smile and a word
of kindness will often restore good
humor and playfulness. Speak gently
to the dependent who ightens your
daily toll +; kind words insure respect
and affection, while the angry re-
buke provokes imrertinence and
dislike, speak gently to the aged !;
many are the trials through which
they have passed, and now little
while and they will be missed from
their accustomed place; the spirit
will have passed to its rest. The re-
membraDce If an unkind word will
then bring with bitter sting. Speak
gehly to the errring one are we
not all weak and liable to error e?
Temptations. of which we cannot
Judge, may have surrounded him.
Harshness will drive him on the
sinful way, genteness and love may
win him back to virtue.
