HEALTH AND TALENT. is no exagge-
ration to say that health is large ingredient
in what the world calls talent. A man with
out it may be a giant in intellect, but his
deeds will be the deeds Of dwarf. On the
contrary, let him have quick circulation,
good digestion, the bulk, thews and slnews OF
q man. and the alanrity. tha ,nnthinking oan-
fdence inspired by these, and, though having
but thimbeful Of brains, he will either blum
der upon success or set failure at defiance. 1t
is true, especially in this country, that the mum.
Der of centaurs in every communicate men
in whom heroic intellects are allied with bod.
lily constitutions as tough as those OF horses-ls
small; that man has reason to think HIM
self we'll off in the lottery of life, If he draw
the prize of a healthy stomach without mind,
or the prize of fine intellect with crazy
stomach. But of the two, weak mind in a
Herculean frame is better than giant mind
in a crazy constitution. A pound Of energy,
with an ounce of talent, will achieve greater
results than pound of talent with an ounce
of energy. The first requisite to success in
life, is to be good animal. In any OF the
learned professions, vigorous constitution is
equal to at least fifty per cent more brain:
wit, judgment, imagination, eloquence, all
the qualities of the mind, attain thereby a
force and splender to which they could never
approach without it. But intellect in a
weak body is "like gold in a spent swimmers
pocket" A mechanic may have tools OF the
sharpest edge and of the highest polish; but
what are these without vigorous arm and
hand? Of what use is it that your mind
has become vast granary of knowledge, if
you have not strength to turn the key?

Six weeks after the above unhappy denou-
ment close carriage conveyed Miss HALEY
away from Gopherton, to Sacramento, 1t was
thought, where she took a steamer for San
Francisco and New York. That was in 1864
Only the other day an announcement appeared
in city paper of the death of a child of three
years, "daughter of Walter and Marion Ma
SON." Upon this slender thread Of circum-
stances we hang the presumptive evidence OF
events which probably have transpired
chance meeting after release from sinful bonds;
love stronger than wrong or time; union
less joyous, perhaps, than their first youthful
dream, but not less tender or true. All this
we believe we are warranted in conjecturing !;
the more so, as we remember hearing one lady
telling another, not long ago, in a street car,
that Mrs. Mason had habit of calling Mr..
Mason "my boy" when she addressed whispers
aside to him, as she often did, and that he
seemed to like the foolish namelet. We truly
believe this to be our Walter Mason.-Ouer-

FLOWERS ABOUT THE DEAD.-If friends
would but have the good taste to place few
simple flowers about the departed one, such
as he or she was fond of in life, it would be
very fitting, but it is surely not in taste to
overload the coffin with flowers representing
an amount of money which would do
much good to the poor. And then the Gus
tom Of exposing the face of the dead to the
gaze of those making the tour of inspection,
which is now almost universal in country
churches, is to me another very unpleasant
feature of funerals. We often read with in
terest of the burial rites of comparatively un-
known nations and are surprised and amused
with their peculiarities Would not ours,
in their tnrn, present some features as curious,
if read by distant people? If personal
friends wish to take last look of a deceased
friend, it is surely due to them to do so alone,
without being gazed at by crowd.

GRANDMOTHER,s WORK.

BY MRS. C. E. HEWITT.
Up in the garret the grandmother sits.
Under the rafters dark aud low,
Sorting over the faded bits
OF wooden, and silk and calico;
And the children wonder, as peepng in,
They watch the old lady her task begin,
Why the aged hands so wrinkled and thin,
Should tremblc aud be so slow.
Run away, ye careless ones, to your play
Let her muse for a while aone
These faded remnants, once bright and gay,
Have 4 hiStory-every one;
And this Is the reason the grand-dame sislls,
Aud the binding tears that unbidden rise,
She paused 10 wipe from those faded eyes,
Whose weeping, she thought, was done.
This silk, whose color she scarce can tell,
Laid away with such pride and care,
Was the bridal robc-sle remembers we'll
Other darling so pure and fair.
And she hastily folds il out of sight,
For she knows full well, in that land OF light,
Unfading and spotess, clean and White,
Are the garments the ranSomcd wear.
And these tiny shreds of old, soft lace,
Which the years have turned so gray,
How they bring before her the baby face,
That within these rufles lay!
And her heart leaps over the days that remain,
Till she clasps in her arms her babe again,
While her wi,hercd heart feels yearning pain
For the little one called away.
And thus she labors, and thinks and dreams,
While memories fast arise,
Till the fading light OF evening seems
Tocome with swift surprise;
And the children that night In the chimney nook,
Looking up at length from their picture book,
See the folded hands, and the shadowy look
OF tears in her kindly eyes.

CANINE AFFEcr1oN.-In 1863 Capt. --,
of an artillery company of South Carolina,
was killed in battle in Virginia. His body
was placed in coffin, and this boxed up
and brought to the home of his family, at
that time in Columbia. It arrived one week
after his death. On its arrival, his dog, that
he had petted during his life, was at the front
gate, aud approaching the house, began to
smell about and manifested much excitement.
When the coffin was removed from the hearse
he ran under it, and followed it into the
house between the pall-bearers. Although
week had elapsed since his masters death,
and his body was closely encased in the COT
fin, this dog had recognized him by his sense
of smell alone. When the coffin was laid on
thetable in the parlor the dog lay under it, and
remained there for eighteen, hours, until the
funeral on the next day. Upon the day fol.
lowing it was observed that the dog had not
been seen since the interment. Search was
made for him, and he was found lying upon
his late masters grave shivering in the cold
rain, that had been falling for some hours.
He refused to leave his position, and had to
be tied and led home, where he was turned
loose In short time he was again missed,
and servant was sent to the cemetery, where
he was again found in the former position.
He was carried home and chained up. He
now refused either to eat or drink at all,
and only lay moaning. Upon the morn.
ing of the third day he was found dead
Such an instance of the affection of dog l
have never known surpassed, particularly as
this is fact beyond dispute Charleston Let.

USES OF WASTE PApER.-A writer in one
of our exchanges 1--WE have forgotten which,
says that few housekeepers are aware of the
many uses to which waste paper may be put.
After stove has been blackened, it can be
kept looking well for long time by rubbing
it with paper every morning. Rubbing with
paper is much nicer way of keeping the
outside of tea.kettle, cofee-pot or teapot
bright and clean than the old way Of wash
ing it in suds Rubbing them with paper is
also the best way of polishing knives and tin.
ware after securing them. If little soap be
held on the paper in rubbing tinware and
spoons, they shine like new silver. For pol
ishing mirrors, windows, lamp chimneys etc.,
paper is better than dry cloth. Preserves and
pickles keep much better if brown paper in
stead of cloth be tied over the jars Canned
fruit is not apt to mold if piece of writing
paper, cut to fit the can, is laid directly upon
the fruit. Paper is much better to put under
carpet than straw. 1t is thinner, warmer,
and makes less noise when one walks over it.
Two thicknesses of paper placed between the
other coverings on bed are as warm as
quilt. If it is necessary to step upon chair,
always lay paper upon it, and thus save the
paint and woodwork from damage.

Summer Life in the Woods.

The Adriondacks and other re
gions of forest have entertained
hosts of visitors during the past
summer, wisely seeking recrea-
ton, rest, and retirement in their
life renewing solitudes and
shades. How many of them have
found so much, and so true pleas

woods has afforded a toiling mis-

Stomachs of Cows.

In one class of herbivorous an.
imals there is a remarkable vari-
ton in the form of the passage
to the stomach. They have in
deed usually been described as
having four stomaehs, but; this is
not quite true, for they have prop
erly but one, which does not
4ef very much in form and
acture from that of any other
wnRal-but there are several
iage cavities through which the
food has to pass before it reaches
this.
The first of these is very large,
the animal collects aquantity OF
grass and, hay sufficient. to, fill
this, and then lies down to enjoy
it at his leisure. He just causes
it to pass little by little into an
other cavity which is on the 9th
er side, and somewhat smaller.
The interior of this cavity or sac
is divided into a number of six
sided cefls-of which the arrange
ment is exceedingly regular and
beautiful, resembling those of a
honeycomb. After the food has
remained in this a short time,
the animal begins to take up a
portion of it into his mouth, and
chew it over; when he has done
this awhile he swallows The NOR

Some time since l wished to
enter a strange church with a
minister,a little before the time OF
service. We procured a key, but
tried in vain to unlock the. out
side door with it. We concluded
we had the wrong key, and sent
to the janitor for the right one.
But he came and told us the door
already unlocked. All we had
to do was to push and the door
would open. We thought our:
selves locked out, when there
was nothing to hinder us fIom
entering. ia is4i-.-' 80.
In the same way we enter into
love and fellowship with God.
The door, we think, is locked

key of extraordinary faith to open
it. We try. to get our minds
wrought up to high pitch OF
feeling. . We 4say, II. have the
wrong key; I must feel more

at once, without having tounlock
the door, Christ is the door, and
his hear6is not shut against US.
We must enter without stopping
to fit our key of studied faith, for
his mercy is not locked up. We
must enter boldly, trustingiy not
doubling his readiness to receive
us 'just as we are." He is VIII
ing already, and SO we must not
stop to make him willing by ouI
prayers or tears.-S. S. GUm.

When to Sow Orchard Gras s.

The draught this season and
the consequent short hay-crop
have drawn special attention to
those grasses which have. done
best under unfaverable circufnl
stances. The natural rye grass,
by some called wire7grass,; which
is SO common on the hills, in
many sections, has done SO well,
but no grass has done so well
as orchard grass, The testimony
in its favor is universal. We
have seen it in many places this
season, and always in luxriousu
growth. 1t makes good pasture,
and fine. hayAwhen cut early.
There is probably no better grass
for this section of country. In
consequence many are asking
the question when is the time to

time, and henceforth at any time
until the 90 orlast ofSeptember.
