A NATION comes to its last point
Of expansion all the old ideas that were
once sacred become mere dead stubble,
and if it is to stay with those alone it must
die. A million men have some faint idea
that this is not right; this dead husk cam
not touch the soul with any divine fire.
But at the last, God creates man in his
own image, and he comes out bur-
deneI with fresh expression, and expan-
sion of the old truth. He walks over the
land and tells it. lie can no more help
telling it than the sun can help shining.
Old errors set their teeth against him, fierce
persecution sweeps over him, it may be
sweeps him away; but the truth saves the
nation.--Robet Couyer.
We should be chary of keeping fruit in
our sitting-rooms, and especially beware of
laying it about sick chamber for any
length of time. The complaint which
some people make about faint sensation
in the presence of fruit is not fanciful-
for two continental chemists have shown
that from the momert of plucking apples,
cherries, currants and other fruits, they
are subject to incessant transformation.
At first they absorb oxygen, thus robbing
the surrounding air of its vital element.
Then they evolve carbonic acid, and this
in far greater volume than the purer gas is
absorbed, SO that we have poison given us
in the place of pure air, with compound
interest. Temperature affects the rate of
changes. warmth accelerating it.

DEVOTION to truth and loyalty to p1in-
ciple must characterize the lowest as well
as highest duty, and to this end it is of first
importance that at home our children be
taught that virtue is better than gold, that
honor is more than fine gold. Love of
money is sweeping the stakes, and our
children see that to this, and not to cul-
ture in the spiritual life, and to high
purpose and steadfast integrity we are
bending our energies. They feel that the
father is eaten up Of gold, and the
mother of the cares ard deceitfulness of
fashion. We must begin at the beginning
and, if need be, inspire our children with a
nobility Of soul that they shall esteem the
wealth OF this world with disdain, or at
best as an accident, and not the aim, of
life. It is better now to make conscience
firm than free. or the liberty that hath
builded the great superstructure of state
and society itself, shall unearth its founda-
tions, and we shall be crushed beneath its
broken and crumbling columns Collye,..

The accepted rules of society are not, af-
ter all, a capricious conglomeration of
chance, whims and notions. They are
slow growth of the necessary regulations
which bind the entire fabric together, as
the long grass roots and fibres bind the
sandy dunes Of the sea-shores. No rule
has been given till its need has been felt, or
accepted till its value has been recognized.
They are the accommodations Of past genera
tons, modified and perfected by the wants
of the present one, and guarded by the
general sense Of most" And it will
usually be seen that what they demand is
best for every one upon the whole, and that
those who defy these rules do not merely
set society at naught, but their own hap
piness and comfort, which the long prac-
tice and experience of society have found
the best means of securing to them by such
way, and no other. The person who, in a
community holding established canons of
the fit and becoming, dares to set up new
standard, should be very sure that such a
standard has incontestable advantages over
the prevailing custom; that it is more COM
Portable, more, yirtuous at once more
elevating and more humanizing.

Hard Times.

The times are hard, but that is no
reason why men should be. On the con-
trary want and suffering should soften
the heart and make generous the hand.
The trouble is that it don't work this
proper way. The victims of poverty
are always on the weak and powerless
side. Were 1t otherwise the evil would
not exist, because men and women would
not remain in poverty if they could help
it-not If they know themselves. Hard
times have a mean tendency all around.
The rich it makes miserly, the poor en-
vious, ill-natured and unhappy. They
are .he worst of times ever invented.
AS the world goes they do very little
good, and on the other hand do world
of mischief. The theory that people
learn rigid and useful lessons in econO-
my is point that is not well taken; in
fact not taken at all, since there is none.
In good order of things hard times
would be left out, How much better
instead to have good times, jolly times
times of sunshine, times of roses, times
of golden skies, and gay and lively times
generally.

California Snnner.

There are quite number of returned
Californians living in Millersburg and
vicinity, some of whom went out in
lS49 when the gold fever first broke out.
Hon. A. C. Henry now a resident of
Oakland, Cal, has been on visit to his
friends in this county for several weeks
past. They made it up among them to
give a supper at the Butler House on
Thursday evening, and have good
time talking over old times, &c. Invi-
tations were given out accordingly, and
some twenty-five or thirty in all assem-
bled to partake of the supper. The
Band was invited, and entertained the
company well with their rich music.
After supper the company was enter
tanned by speeches from Messrs. A. VOL
gamot, A. MeMurray, "A. C. Henry, Elias
Mast, Benz. Hall, J. C. Corbus, c. f.
Worries, and others, all of whom gave
some of their experience in going to
and from California. The party broke
up about ] O'Clock, Mr.. Henry has
since left Millersburg on his way home.

A Beautiful Experiment.

The following beautiful chemical ex-
pertinent may be easily performed by a
lady, to the great astonishment of a
circle at her tea party: Take two or
three leaves of red cabbage, cut them
into small bits, put them into basin,
and pour a pint of boiling water on
them; let it stand an hour, then pour it
off into decanter. 1t will be fine
blue color. Then take four wine glass
es; into one put six drops of vinegar ;
into another six drops of solution of so
da; into third 4 strong solution of al
um, and let the fourth remain empty.
The glasses may be prepared some time
before, and the few drops of cOlorless
liquid that have been placed in them
will not be noticed. Fill up the glasses
from the decanter, and the liquid poured
into the glass containing the acid will
become beautiful red; the glass con-
tanning the soda will become a fine
green; that poured into the empty on'
will remain unchanged. By adding ;
little vinegar to the green it will imme
diately change to a red, and on adding
n little solution of soda to the red |
will assume fine green, thus shown.
