G. Nothing moves in this world
that does not exert an influence on
the universe in some degree. The
flight of bird, the falling of a leaf
to the earth, the scufhing of two
birds, or their chasing each other
through the air, the vibration of q
note, anything which causes the
least impulse, changes the whole
universe, as streams that run to the
sea, and empty themselves into it,
change the sea, and change the chan
The sea roars and murmurs, and
then wipes its brow, and is calm
again; but it is never the same
shore; it is never the same waves.
The waves striking the shore, and
retreating, never leave it as it was.

q What comes from heaven is
pure; but the tendency is to soil il,
and that which keeps nearest heaven
most escapes the pollution Of earth.

The study OF ONES Hand.

No instrument devised by man

ments are produced by nearly fifty
muscles. So complicated is the cor

tomists can hardly keep in remem-
braRce its mechanism. With it all
the emotions of the mind may be
both manifested and intensified.

~ An Arab was asked by a
traveller how he knew there was a

man, who seemed to doubt the be-

with another: 'fHow do 1 know

Creator the footprints Of God"

MAKING CHARACTER.-Men are
building continually, and they know
not the day nor the hour when tri-
ais viii test them. Take heed,
therefore, how you build. Have
YOU that which, when mems praises
cease, will satisfy you? Are you
so building that you can stand firm
when wealth is taken aWay2 Stand
ing on the right foundation, are you
building pigmy dwellings with
squallid apartments? or are you
building strong and high, after the
pattern of Christ's character, with
commodious apartments, and as
many Of them as there are faculties?
Are all the walls of this structure
being carried up harmoniouslyf-
And are you furnishing these apart
ments amply and wisely? Are you
filling your dwelling with the
things which are for time, or the
things which are for eternity? Are
you gathering into the house of the
soul those companions that beft it?
Are its guests noble and r0yal?-
Are you building your soul-house
so that it is sound from bottom to
top, and from top to bottom? Are
you building it 50 that ittshall en-
dure in sickness, in adYereity-yea
in death itself? Are you building
it so that it shall stand when you
pass through the food and through
the FIRE?

After considering the facts incident
to the discussion, in another place,
involving the question of Mr.. Da-
vis's treason, those who read and
reflect on Judge Clifford's assertions
must conclude that Andrew John
son, when palavering about the par
don of traitors and making treason
odious, was the most stupendous
blunderer of the age. Either he or
the supreme court is a great ass
appeal.

Furnishing Thieves.

The Parish of Vermi1lion, Louisiana,
has been for years infested with cattle
thieves. The people have been unable
to obtain redress by process of law, and
last month they organized a vigilance
committee as final resort Notice was
given to large number of the thieves
and their confederates that they must
leave the parish within specified time;
but instead of doing SO they armed
themselves and threatened to destroy
the town of Abbeville, whereupon the
vigilance pressed them and they scat
tered. 1t is reported that three of the
gang were hung. One of q party of tho
thieves, who was endeavoring to escape,
was arrested under civil process at
Brashear, and was taken from the
steamer Minnie Avery at Jeaneretts by
a squad of armed men and hung lin
front of DIR. Dungeons residence, three
miles above that town.

Corpse Exhumed to Kill q SANDER.

A Canadian gentleman named Cam
eron ten years since returned home
from British Columbia, bringing with
him coffin containing the dead bodies
of his wife and child, who had died
during his absence. They were in
tered near Cornwall, where Mr.. Cam
eron resides. Recently, while he was
absent, some of his neighbors got up
a story that the coffin supposed to CON
tain the corpse of Mrs. Cameron inclosed
nothing but piece of clay, that lady
having been in reality sold by her hus-
band to an Indian chief on the Pacific
coast for gold chain. Strange as it
may seem, this monstrous tale found
ready belief among the Kanucks, and
when Mr.. Cameron came home he found
necessary to refute it. So he adver-
tised that on certain day the grave
would be opened, and the cofpses ex-
posed to view. When the time came
several hundred people were present.
The bodies were exhumed and exhibited
to the gaping crowd. They were in ex-
cellent preservation. having been en-
balmed Immediately after death, and
the features of Mrs. Cameron were dis
tinctly recognized by those who knew
her in life. This, of course, exploded
the story of the sale, and gave peace OF
mind to the gossips.

The POlarIs Party Safe.
Picked Up After a Voyage OF Nearly Two
Months I'm Open Boats.

hontns ia OPNh beaAss
The Dundee whaling steamer Arctic
arrived at Dundee, having on board
Captain Buddington and the remainder
of the Polaris' crew. They were picked
uD on the Goth of July last by the
whaling ship Ravenscraig, also from
Dundee, twenty miles to the south of
Cape York, in boats constructed of the
remnants of the bulwarks of the Polaris.
In accordance with the directions of
the chief officer the Ravenscraig trans
ferred the crew to the Arctic, which
brought them to Dundee.
Captain Buddington and his party
wintered last year on the mainland, near
Littleton Island, on that part of the east
coast of Smiths Land between Cape
Olsen and Foulke Fjord. Realizing that
the Polaris was not in a condition to
carry them any further south, she was
partly broken up, and the boats in
which they were found were made from
the material thus acquired. The boats
were made ready and stored with the
bread and other provisions, and early in
June Buddington gave the order to pro-
coed south.
Buddington was well acquainted with
the movements of whale ships fishing
on the coast of Labrador, and knew
that it was customary for them to en-
deavor to reach Cape York, off the
west coast of Greenland, early in June,
whence they usually crossed over to
the opposite coast, and commenced
the catch on whaling grounds nearer
the Labrador coast. By fastening
direct to the rendezvousing ground
to the south coast of Cape York
he anticipated finding the whalers, by
any of whom he was sure to be taken on
board. 1t was question, however,
whether he would arrive at Cape York
in time to meet the whalers. In case
he did not, he would probably have at
tempted to reach Upernavik. The fact
of his meeting with the Ravenscraig
near Cape York shows howwell founded
were his hopes.

After Them.

John N. Beadle, correspondent of
the Utica Observer, sends that paper an
account of an adventure in the North
Woods, recently, which reads like the
stories of century ago. In company
with o friend, Mr.. Beadle went on
fishing excursion, and the pair were
enjoying their sport finely, when an
angry growl short distance off dis
closed the presence of bear with evil
dent hostile intentions. The two took
to separate trees without unnecessary
delay, Bfuin following Mr.. Beadle so
closely that he had barely time to
scramble out of his reach. After a
thorough reconnaissance of the ground,
the bear leisurely proceeded to secure
his game by gnawing the tree down,
but became disheartened, with his job,
and about midnight stalked surlily off.
The men were freed from four in the
afternoon till daylight next morning,
not daring to venture down after the
bear left until it was light enough to
enable them to escape if the hungry
brute should reappear.
