TOMS GOLD.DuST.

"Uncle," said Tom, one day, s'it
seems to me your things don't look as
well as they might" They were in the
garden, and the things the boy had
his eyes on We're the currant-bushes.
Well, sir, what can yOu improve?"
said his uncle.
Z" l can try on the currants," said
Tom. "They want to be trimmed out,
the wood cut off, and the right suckers
trained.'
"Suppose you try, my boy,'' said the
uncle"
His uncle did not believe much would
come of it but he had reason to change
his mind, Much did come of it. Peo-
pie, when they walked into the garden,
exclaimed, "What splendid currants
you have got!"
" That boy knows how to take care of
his gold-dust," said his nncle often to
himself.
Tom went to college; and every ac-
count they heard OF him he was going
ahead-laying solid foundation for the
future.
Certainly" said his uncle I" GER
tainly; that boy knows how to take care
of his gold-dust."
Gold-dust! Where did Tom get gold
dust? He was poor boy He had not
been to California. He never was 4
miner. Where did he get gold-dust ;
All! he has seconds and minutes; and
these are the gold-dust of time--spccks
and PARTICLES of time, which boys and
girls, and grown-up people are apt t.
waste and throw away. Tom knew theil
value. His father had taught him thai
every speck and particle of time wa;
worth its weight in gold; and he tooL
care of them as if they We're. He never
spent them foolishly, but only in goot
| bargains. q" For value received wa
| stamped on all he passed away.

FLAVORING WITH LEAVES.

Leaves are more or less popular for
garnishing but it has often surprised
me, says correspondent of the Garden,
that they are so little used for fiavoring.
With the exception of sweet and bitter
herbs grown chiefly for the purpose, and
parsley (Which is neither bitter nor
sweet, but the most popular of all fla
voring plants), comparatively few other
leaves are used. Perhaps l ought also
to except the sweet bay, which is popu
lar in rice and other puddings, and GER
tainly imparts one of the most pleasant
and exquisite fiavors. But, on the other
hand, what Il waste there is of the fla
voring properties ofpeach, almond, and
laurel leaves, so richly charged with
the essence of bitter almonds, SO much
used in kitchens! OF course, such leaves
must be used with caution, but SO must
the spirit rs well. An Infusion of these
could readily be made, either green or
dry, and a tea or tablespoon OF the fla
vorilg liquor used to taste. One of the
most useful and harmless of all leaves
for fiavoring is that of the common
syringa. When cucumbers are scarce
these are perfect substitute in salads or
anything in which that flavor is desired.
The taste is not only like that of cucum-
bers, but identical-a curious instance Of
the correlation of fiavors in widely Diff
ferent families. Again, the young
leaves of cucumbers have a striking
likeness in the way OF flavor to that of
fruit. The same may be affirmed OF
carrot-tops, which are as like carrots in
taste as may be. In most gardens there
is a prodigious waste ofcelery flavor in
the sacrifice Of the external leaves and
their partially blanched footstalks.
Scores of sticks of celery are cut mp into
soup, when the outsides would flavor it
equally we'll OF better. The young
leaves of gooseherries added to bottled
fruit give a 'fresher 1iavor and greener
color to pies and tarts. The leaves of the
towering current give a sort of inter-
mediate flavor between that of black
currents and red. Orange. citron, and
lemon leaves impart fiavoring equal
| to that of the fruit and rind combined,
and somewhat different from both. A
few leaves added to pies, or boiled in the
milk used to bake with rice. or formed
into crusts or paste, impart an admirable
bouquet. In short leaves are not half SO
much used for seasoning purposes as
they might be.

THE GREAT BALLOON.

We clip the following account of the
construction of Prof. Wise's Balloon from
she Graphic. 1t partakes somewhat of
the sensational reportOrial style, but
contains some not unintereSLing details: :
&c The cores of cloth ofwhich the bal
loon is composed are all cut out and
sewn together Oh the second floor of the
establishment. AS already stated, the
great balloon will require 4, ,3l6 yards of
cloth. The material is of unbleached
sheeting of thick, close quality, known
as 'sIndian Orchard" purchased from
Eldridge, Dunham & Co.. Broadway.
The crown of the balloon will be doub-
led for distance of fifty feet from the
top, with $50 yards of the same mater
ial; and yet n third thickness will be
added of Manchester" Mills, bleached,
of which 250 yards will be required.
balloon is rendered necessary by the up
ward pressure of the gas, which is equal
to two pounds to the square inch.
The measurement and cutting of the
cores is performed by Mr.. Fleck, u short,
dark, intelligent man, with keen, flash
ing, black eyes. lie welded the huge

A CURIOUS TRIBE OF JEWS IN
HTNDOSTAN.

In the city of Cochin, Hintlostan, says
the Jea1ish Times, live some 600 colored
Israelites, whose skin is not quite so
dark as the genuine Ethiopian. They
are Jews in every sense, worship the
God of their fathers, the only true Jeho-
vah, and are intellectually the superiors
of the white inhabitants of the place.
According to their own account their
origin is as follows:
''The conquest of a portion of the
East Indies by the Europeans, opened to
commerce wide field, and attracted a
multitude of speculatcrs from all parts
of the world. Among these were many
young Israelites from Bagdad, Bassorah
and emen, who came to make their
fortunes in the new Eldorado. After
they had settled down they purchased
from the negroes black female slaves,
many of whom were afterward con-
verted and then married Ivy their mas
ters. 1t was from these MAJ riages that
the present race descends. Ancient He
brew manuscripts and law tables, writ
ten on parchment, have been found
among the Cochin Jews,''

HEARTS AND HANDS,

] One day teacher said to his class ::
Boys, you can all be useful, ii You will. 4.
IL you cannot do good by great deeds,
you can by little ones"
The boys said nothing, but the teacher
saw by their looks that they thought he
was mistaken. They did not believe
that they could be of any use. So lie
said:
" You think it's not so, but suppose
yOu just try it for one week.
elbow shall we try it," asked one of
them.
"Just keep your eyes open, and your
hands ready to do anything good that
comes i'll your way, all this week, and
tell me next Sunday if You have not
managed to be useful in some way or
other" said the teacher.
" Agreed" said the boys, and so they
parted.
The next Sunday those boys gathered
around their teacher, and with smiling
lips and eyes so full of light that they
fairly twinkled like the stars He
smiled, as he looked on them, and said: {:
"Ah! boys, | see by your looks that
you have something to tell me.'
"We have, sir, we have" they said
all together. Then each one told his
story.
"I," said one, " thought of going to
the well for pail OF water every morn
ing, to save my mother trouble and
time. She thanked ME so much and was
SO greatly pleased, that | mean to keep

of poor old woman. whose eyes were
too dim to read. | went to her house
every day and read her chapter from
the Bible. 1t seemed to give her great
deal of comfort. l cannot tell how she
thanked me.''
A third boy said, "I was walking
along the street, wondering what /

asked me to hold his horse. did so. He
gave me five cents. l have brought it to

A fifth boy said: 81 saw my mother

cried, and mother looked sick and sad

little wagon. She did so and gave him
a grand ride round the garden. If you

TaE .JESUIFs.

Catholicism is religion; and under
| the law of religious equality we arr
bound. as citizens to treat it as we would
any other religion, giving ir free course
and a fair share In all tile advantages oi
the State. As Christians we are bound
to regard it with charity, and to over
come it not with evil but with good
Bnt Jesuitism is not religion; Jesuitism
Is, and always was, conspiracy. 1t con-
spired of old with Catholic despots for
the, overthrow of Protestant govern
ments. and of the liberty in which Prot
estantism has its being. 1t conspires
With factions for the same purpose now
When Bismarck expelled the Jesnits, we
are told That he had crnelly banislled a
set of pious men, entirely engaged in
istering to the sick, and educating the
poor. In which of these pious offices
were the Jesuits engaged when they Sc
cured by their intrignes the arms of
Philip H., and prepared the way in Eng
land for the Armada; when they dicta-
ted to Louis XIV. the revocation of the
Edict of Eantes, and the elimination of
the French Protestlnts; when they in
sttiled into English Catholics the treas
enable sentiments which led to the con-
spiracy of Guy Fawkes: when they fill
ed the Swiss Confederation with malig-
nant jealousies, brought it at last to
civil war, and compelled a republic in
which Catholic and Protestant have long
dwelt together at peace, to send the or
der over the frontier; when the other
day they instigated the French invasion
of Germany, for the purpose of destroy
ing ! great Protestant power? Those
Vaccinations against German unity
which they were. continuing to carry on
and which brought down Bisnarck's
heavy hand upon the authors of them,
did they belong to the duty of perform
ing religions offices, or of educating the
poor, or of ministering to the sick? The
Jesuit has no country, no tie, no re-.
straint of patriotism, no regard for the
nation on which he operates, no COM
junction in bringing on it war or any
other calamity, provided he can quench
its free life and turn it into one of those
living corpses which Loyola enjoined his
disciples to be. He strangles free COM
munities as offerings to his Spanish deity
as human beings nave bean inundated
by those fanatical Eastern sectaries,
whose devotion of body and soul to their
secret society or chief equals that of the
with which he shrouds himselfis proof
that he Is a conspirator; honesty, even
honest fanaticism, never shrinks from
the light of day. Against conspiracy
society has aright to guard itself, though
it has none to interfere with the exer-
else or the propagation of any religion.
The main object of Jesuit university
would not be education but intrigue. 1t
would be a centre, established by the ma
ton, of conspiracy against the national
life, The British Parliament is bound
to refuse its sanction to the establish
nlent of Jesuit university to which
Jesuits are to be admitted; so is any

CHAPTER XI.

When Lena Dinsmore, won by the
specious pleading, and overcome by the
strange power, which Leslie Woleott
exerted over her, resolved to leave hns-
band, home, honor, all. for this man
whose soul so drew, and whose will SO
completely oyermastered her, it was not
willingly or gladly, but as one drawn
and compelled. She believed that she
loved him, but he made her love him:
She could not stand before the fire of his
passion any more than the moth can re-
sist the alluring fame. Her. reason
and moral sense seemed torpid She had
struggled at first, bat her strength was
exhausted utterly now, and though her
heart lay chill aud cold i'll her bosom,
she never thought of turning or paus-
ing in her course. OF the future she
never thought-only of the present, and
a hungry longing for love and ca;e, and
tenderness, too weak to question its
source Or its ending.
There were two trains which passed
Brent, one going south, the other west.
The one going south the regular night
train, the one going west special,

FEmNE of the worst of bad habits
| }lMY which bad boys indulge is cal

| SSS :ieople nicknames. This, when
done on purpose, is very wrong, and
| often very cruel, for they mostly in
dulge their wicked wit on those who
have some bodily infirmity which they

l wish to caution the boys who read
this against such conduct; for many
boys who do not wish to be nnkind or
cruel may be tempted to do SO before
they are aware, just because there is
some fun in it.

taught to be careful not to wound the
feelings of the unfortunate. A number
of us school boys were playing by the
roadside on Saturday afternoon, when
the stage coach drove up to Il neighbOr-
ing inn, and the passengers alighted.
AS usual, we gathered around to observe
them. Among the number was an elder
ly man, who got out with much Difficult

with his feet turned one way, and his
knees together, in very awkard man

- Just then, to my surprise and hor-
ror, my father came around the corner,
and Immediately stepped up to the stran-
ger, shook his hand warmly, and as
sisted him to walk to our house, which
was but little way off. l could enjoy
no more play that afternoon, and when
itea,time came | would gladly haye hid
myself, but knew it would be in vain,
and SO tremblingly went into the sit

the stranger did not seem to know me
again, but remarked pleasantly to my
father as he introduced me:
Such fine boy was surely worth
saving"
How the words cut me to the heart,
My father had often told me of a friend
who plunged into the river to save Inc as
l was drowning when child, and who,
in consequence of II cold then taken, had
been made a cripple by rleumatism;
and this was the man [ had made a
laughing-stock for my companions,"

give great deal to have the memory of
that event taken away. If ever you are
