FALSE HUMILITY.

DR.. Watson tells a very good
story of Sister Scrub, who was Civ
en- to hospitality, and the very bad
habit of running down every thing
she had in the way Of meat and
drink, as if she would by this plan
induce her guests to praise them the
more. Elder Blunt had endured
this fight Of Affections several times,
and undertook to put an end to it.
Putting up" at Brother Scrubs
one day, his horse was cared for
and he was shown into the best
parlor, where everything was nice as
a new pin, Mrs. Scrub was sorry
her house was upside down, and it
wasn't fit for minister to sit down
IN. but she was glad to see him, and
would try to make him comfortable.
The dinner came on, and Mrs.
Scrub declared the dinner was SO
mean and miserable she was asham-
ed of it, and when she was in full
blast with her deprecations, Elder
Blunt jumped up, said he couldn't
and wouldn't stay in house where
everything was in such state; he
would go where he could find some
thing fit to eat, and a. decent place
to eat in. In spite of all they could
do, the Elder insisted on having his
horse and quitting the house. Sis
ter Scrub wept sore over her faalt
and being heartily ashamed and cur
ed, the Elder in due time returned,
and ever afterward found good
home with Brother and Sister

EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES.


In apaper addressed to the French
Academy ofSciences, MN. p. Cham.
plon and Il. Pellet endeavor to ex.
plain fact already known, namely.
that while the explosion Of, small
quantity Of illuminate of mercury
will cause the adetonatii,on Of &C d
pressed gun-cotton, very considers
BILE quantities of lodide of nitrogen cen.
or else itro-glycerlne are Incapable
of producing the same result. Start.
ing from the supposition that these
and other explosive substances pro-
du e different vibratory mott ms, J. ac-
cording to their various natures, the
authors Of the paper had recourse to
sensitive 'Aames."' Professor Tyn-
dali a few years ago made some Gu
rious experiments on this subject.
That philosopher observed in a
drawing room, that the gaslights
kept time with the music by their
flames becoming longer or shorter,
according TO the various notes pro-
duced on the piano. This he Justly
attributed to the vibrations caused
III the air, and he soon, by direct
experiment, confirmed this view.
F ! i experiment was applied to the
measure of explosive substances in
the following way AT a distance
OF five mstres from a fame they
placed al anvil, on which they al
ternately LAID illuminate of mercury
and iodlde of nitrogen, wrapped up
IN thin membranes to prevent their
dispersion, and then caused their ex-
plosion by the stroke of hammer.
In this way they ascertained that
the latter substance produced no. eff
feet on the fame, while the fulrnin-
ae caused it to vibrate according to
the notes M,.do, ma, ia, sol, Hence
they concluded, not only that the
vibrations affected by the iodlde
were different from those of the
illuminate, but also that those of the
latter only affected certain notes,
excluding the intermediate ones.
These experiments they repeated
with different explosive substances
and with similar results, confirming
their theory. - L--- -

HOW TOLTVEs HAPPY.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the fol-
lowing excellent advice. There is
much human nature and good sense
In it:
Harmony in the married state is
4he very first to be aimed at. Moth
ing can preserve affections uninter-
rupted but firm resolution never to
differ in will, and determination in
each to consider the others love .oi
more value than any subject what
ever on which q wish had been fixed.
How light, in fact, is the sacrifice OF
any other wish when weighed against
the affections of one with whom we
are to pass our whole life! And
though opposition in a single in
stance will hardly Of itself produce
alienation, yet every one has their
pouch into which all these little op-
positions are put; while that is fl
ling the alienation is insensibly GO
ing on, and when filled. it is com
Plete. 1t would puzzle either to
say why, because no one difference
OF opinion has been marked enough
to produce serious effect by itself
But he finds his affections wearied
out by-a constant dream of little
checks andobstacles. Other sou4c-
es OF discomfort, very common In
deed, are the little cross purposes OF
husband and wife, in common con-
Versation, disposition to criticise
and question whatever the other
says, desire always to demonstrate
and make him feel himself in the
wrong, especially in company. Moth
ingis so goading.> Much better,
therefore, if our companion views a
thing in light differen: from what
we do, leave him in the quiet pos
session ofhis views, What is the
use Of rectify ing him if the thing be
unimportant Let it pass for the
present, and wait a softer moment
and more conciliatory occasion of re-
hearsing the subject together 1t is
wonderful how many persons are
rendered unhappy by inattention to
these little rules Of prudence"

A LEGEND OF THE BOLY
GRAIL.

Once in the days when men wan.
dered through the world seeking
that cup, made OF single precious
stone, holding the eal blood o.
Christ, knight left England tt
search for the same In distant lands
AS he passed from his door, a pool
sufferer cried to him for help. Alb.
sorted IN his grand hope, the knight
needed him not, but went on. He
wandered to the Holy Land, fought
IN many wars, endured much, but
found not the precious cup; and at
last, disappointed and defect. d, he
returned home. As he neared his
own house, the same poor sufferer
cried to him for help, "What dost
thou require?" asked the knight.
The aged man said, "Lo. | am per-
fishing with thirst" The knight
dlsmounted and fastened to fetch a
cup of water. He held the half-clad
sufferer In his arms, raised his head,
and profered the water to his parch-
ed lips. Even as he did so the Gun
sparkled into a gem--the knight
saw in his hand the holy grail, flush
ed with the true blood Of Christ :
and so we, my brothers, may wan
der tar, and traverse many realms OF
philosophy and theology, to FIND
the truth which represents the true
life blood Of the noblest soul; but we
shall find it only when and where
we love and serve as he did. IF we
but give to the fainting soul at our
door cup of water from the well OF
truth, 1t shall fash back on us the
radiance of God. AS We can save
SO shall We be saved. And when
we are really moved by the outcries
OF famished hearts and brains. as Nv
the wailing Of helpless babias-wben
we deeply long to be a light and
hope to men--the ways of doing Sc
will open before us, even as undTeam
ed energies to fill them full shall h.
born within us.-M. d. Conaoau

A TOAD UNDRESSING.

Audubon relates that he once saw
a toad undress himself. He com
m me by pressing his elbows hard
against his sides, and rubbing down
wards After a few smart rubs his
hide began to burst open along his
back. He kept rubbing until he
worked all his skin into folds ON his
sides and hip; and then grasping
one, hlnd leg with his hands, he
hauled d Oft of one leg Of his pants the
Same a. as any body would; then strip
pea OH & the other hind leg in the

OFT shin forward between his fore
legs into his mouth and swallowed
IT; then, by raising and lowering his
head swallowing as his head Came
down. ne stripped off his skin un-
derncath, until it came to his fore

with the opposite hand, by single
motion of the head, AID while swal-

A gentleman named Needham re-
Gently went to the river Lea in Eng
land to battle, taking with him fa-
vorite retriever dog; and, having
undressed himself, deposited his
clothes, containing valuable gold
watch and considerable sum of
money, on the bank, leaving them
in charge Of the dog with injunc
tons to mind them. This he did
somewhat to faithfully to be pleas
ant, for when Mr. Needham, having
had his bath, advanced toward his
clothes with the intention Of dressing
himself, the dog, which was a Dung
one, did not recognize his master
without his clothes, and resisted ali
his attempts to possess himself Of
them. Mr.. Needham returned tc
the water, and by dint OF repeatedly
whistling and calling to the dog, a
length coaxed him to leave his charge
and 60 to him but no sooner hac
the dog left the clothes than some
men, who must have been lurking
. near and witnessed what had occur
red, seized the clothes and ran of
with them. Mr.. Needham had K
remain where he was till some boat
ling man came by, who lent him some
clothing, with which he was enabled
to go home bat he has not hearc
anything of his missing property.
