Death-A Beautiful Extract.

The annexed extract is SO beautiful that

served. 1t fell from the lips of Rev. DR..
Charles Wadsworth, Of Philadelphia. The
text taken by him was

cutivates many flowers, seemingly only for
their exquisite beauty and fragrance. For
when bathed in soft sunshine they have
burst into blossom, then the Divine Hand
gathers them from the earthly fields to be
kept in crystal vases in blessed mansions
above Thus little children die-some in
the sweet bud, some in fuller blossom; but
never too early to make Heaven tuirer and
sweeter with their immortal bloom.
"Verily, to the eye of Faith, nothing is
fairer than the death Of young children
Sight and sense indeed rccoil from it. The
flower, that like breathing rose filled
heart and home with an exquisite delight,
alas we are stricken with sore anguish to
find its stem broken and the blossom gone.
But unto Faith, eugled-eyed beyond men
tai vision, and winged to mount like the
singing lark over the fading rainbow unto
the blue heaven, even this is touchingly
lovely.
1.-THE child's earthly ministry was well
done, for the rose does its work as grandly
in blossom as the vine with its fruit. And
having helped to sanctify and lift heaven

Gems of Thought.

Fame is an undertaken that pays but
little attention to the living, but bedizens
the dead, furnishes out their funerals, and
follows them to the grave.

and the lock of the night.
NO doctrine is good for anything that
does not leave behind it an ethereal furrow
ready for the planting of seed which shall
bear abundant harvest.
1t is not until the flower has fallen off
that the fruit begins to ripen. So in life
it is when the romance is past that the
practical usefulness begins.
- In wonder all philosophy began, in
wonder it ends, and admiration fills up the
interspace. But the first wonder is the
offspring Of ignorance-thc last is the pa

The habit of dissipating every serious

for when amusement is uniformly substitu-

$50 Boss. Mr.. Jones, one evening in
fytime, having been provokingly dashed
in the face, tied the tail of the COW he was
milking very securely to his boot strap.
Everything went on smoothly for time;
and Mr.. Jones congratulated himself on the
stratagem. However, the COW took no.
ton to lash fly that was biting her. Mr.
Jones chuckled some when he felt the pull
at his boot-strap; but the chuckling was
cut short, for 'Bossie,' finding that she
could not touch her tormentor, suddenly
started, and as Mr.. Jones was not prepared
for such a demonstration, he was upset, and
the contents of the pail distributed over
his person. The COW stopped for moment
and in that time our hero gained his feet /;
in an instant after he was seen with his
hand on the hip Of the COW, making the topk

attachment gave way, and Mr.. Jones re-

Tim Ryan's Payment of an old Debt.

The pony, Flanagan, and myself were a
good deal surprised to overtake traveller.
Something about his attire, and especial
ly his "acute" expression made me think
him an Irish man who had returned from
America. And it proved was right. My
guide gave him good-day, and, with my
permission, a seat beside himself. Where
upon | ventured to ask him where he was
from and where he was going. believe it
is right peculiar to Americans to ask
that all the world over.

saving your presence, I'll tell you all about

America the month after. It's grand
fair, with II great many pig-jobbers and
cattle dealers in it, and they'll drink poteen
like water. | met boy there, one Magraw,
who tlourishcd ahead of the whole fair

beating | ever got in my whole life. In

him back with interest, even if was leav-

five years l got good work in America,
good health and money to the fore; so
made up my mind to go to Spiddle fair
this year to pay Magraw his interest, and
then tramp up the hills to the old cabin.
1t was the last day of the fair when l arri-
we'd at Spiddle, but l had not been
there an hour when heard voice like

out, That's the principal, and if you'll
stand up I'll give you the interest And
then half the fair gathered round and
cried, otis Tim Ryan come from America
to beat Magraw.' And they made ring
for us, and although l shouldn't say it my
self, ma am, they told me afterward that it
was as pretty fight as they had ever seen.

How to keep celery over winte, is q
question that perplexes nearly every one
who cultivates that palatable plant Many
methods are practised, some of which are
suited to milder climates, but will nqtE7gER2
swer here. We have kept celery verI
cesstully for one or two winters p4
packing it in an upright position in
boxes, half buried in the ground and
cred tightly with boards. Over the
ed boxes earth is heaped sufficiently high
to keep out the frost. The boxes are opHS,
cd when necessary, and Quantity suffice
for week or two taken out at once %1%
believe that the idea was obtained from thX
Germantoton Telegraph. That paper now,
suggests another plan, which is probabl XII
just as good, and may be more easily fo94
lowed in some cases. 1t is this: A trench
is dug from twelve to fifteen inches in
depth, and as long as may be suitable;
the roots are placed in this sngly side by
side, at an angle, that is leaning some
what; three inches of soil are packed
against them; then another line of stalks,
until the bed is as large as may be conve-
nient for covering, and another if required
can be made Soil should then be added
until within six inches of the top of the
stalks; then layer of straw, then q layer
of dry leaves; the whole to have a good
board cocering to keep out tho water. Of
course rather high ground for the bed or
beds should be selected, and trench be dug
around the bed deeper than the bottom Of
the celery trenches, so made as to be sure
to carry off all the water. If this plan is
followed strictly all others may be aban-
doned, as the celery will keep not only
till spring, but as long in the spring as
may be desired and it is not all eaten be-
forehand.

so truly loved him. eIt is more than a summons from death to life, and Charlie himself; cit is a call from Tartarus to Elysium. can tell you that there were times when felt to the full what Tenny- son-isn' the?-means when he speaks lone ly hell. Lonely, don't you see, because no
 one cares foranybody, loves anybody, pities
 anybody there; but every one IS wrapped
 up in his own misery" Yet it is to the
 credit of Charlie's manly and generous nature that not even in the fulI1ash and
 joy of his recall to life and happiness did
 he forget for moment the dear friend
 who had just gone to death.
 Charlie came to Lausanne. No eyes but their own saw the first meeting between him and the girl who loved him so faith fully and fondly. MT Patton, MP, went back to London, bearing his discontinue like dignified English gentleman, and Jennie Kendall soon looked the brightest. happiest woman at the dining table of the Beau-Rivage.
 One odd fact must mention. Charlie West lnisted that he never passed along any balcony on the memorable night I have described. He and his companions dined with Spanish gentleman in a private room of the Beau-Rivage. They left rather early, and he remained behind moment or two to ask some questions of one of the off cials, and then followed his companions. But he had no recollection of passing along balcony, and was sure he had never done 50. Therefore it pleased Miss Jennie and himself to see in the whole incident supernatural visitation and intervention, providentially designed to tell her that her lover lived and was near her. did not care to dispute it. My own conviction was that Charlie, follow ing his companions, lost his way, strayed from corridor on the balcony, and from the balcony to a corridor again, and never needed. Our room was in darkness when he passed, while the moonlight illumined his face and figure; and thus he went on, unconscious that the woman he loved above all the earth was near him and saw him. But neither he nor she would ever yet although they have been more than year married and now have baby accept such an explanation. Why should I insist upon it? If the stars in their courses did really pause to guide and unite my two dear friends, that fact only adds the deeper interest and mystery to my romance of the Beau-Riva9e.

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and badness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are de- stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu- lated into activity, so that new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi- ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling of, and consequently prevent badness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma- tion of dandruff, which is often so un- cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju- rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found SO desirable Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it 8 rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfnns.
