JONES had worried Smith with con-
undrums very often, and now it was
Smiths turn. Guess what / did last
night? said Smith. Jones thought of
various and sundry improbable things,
suggested the making of a speech, the
doing of kindness, the getting him
self into the lookup, aud finally gave
up the conundrum in despair Well,
said Smith in triumphant tone, Islept.
AMoxa the gifts which have been
made to humanity, none, in the lower
sphere of virtues, should call forth our
thankfulness more than the gifts of
chserfulness, and wit, and humor.
They civilize life They carry with
them a perpetual blessing. If any man
have buoyancy, if he find himself given
to wit, in the name of heaven do not
suppress it. Multiply the drops which
spring out of that precious fountain.
As THERE has been good deal said of
the danger to health of the sewing ma
chine, it is worth while to mention that
DIR. Parker recently read paper on the
subject before the State Medical Society
of Virginia, in which he maintained than
fatigue is not disease that there is no
reason to conclude that the use of the
muscles employed in machine work for
Il reasonable time is injurious and that
machine may be used by woman for
four or five hours daily, if she be in or
dinary health, without injury.
Nor over 80 miles east of Auburn, on
the line of the Central Paciic railroad.

from the following He was hunting
for game about mile distant from his
residence, when grouse flew up and
lit on tree on the hillside and the
same moment a travler approached and
inquired the distance to thenext station.
Deaf man (pointing)- flew right up
there. Traveler-How far is it to the
next station? Deaf man-He lit right
up there. Traveller You must ben d-n
fool Deaf man-Yes, there is great
many around this time of the year.
Ir Is not the great matters, the
supreme Joys, which fasten upon the
human heart with such force, but the
small interests and pleasmes-the un-
noticeable violets-from which the
departure is so painful. When some
pitiless fate has grasped with iron
hand the fortune of whole life, a
heroic will stands up in mans breast,
and cries in calm defiance, Take it then ;;
I can live my life without it ;" and then
noble self-respect over-masters the
pain of bereavment, and we stand firmly
and proudly among the ruins of our
hopes. But when fate seizes upon one
great expectancy after another, takes
one flower after another from our lives,
and color after color fades out of the
picture of our day, till at last it lies
before us cold and gray-then a name
less sorrow comes upon them, anand
lie feels his heart shaken within him

PHANToMs.

Faces dim come crowding round me
In the eilence Of the night,
As I sit hAlf-dozing, sleeping,
By the hickering taper's light.
Forms and faces crowd around me
That were buried long sgo,
And the long procession passes,
But will como again, know.
some are old. and weak and feeble,
Some in childhood's bloom appear,
Aud listen through tho stiffness,
II I can their voices hear.
But they never speak unto me:
They but pass with noiseless tread,
And I often sigh TO Join them
As I bow my weary head
They are over near unto me,
Though see them but 1T night
Those dim phantons Of the bygone-
BY the fickering taper's light
But tho last that passes from me
Turns to me her clear blue eyes,
And with upraised hand she pointeth
To the land beyond the skies.
,ris the form Of her who journsyed
Nv my side in early youth
Tae angel who lit my footsteps
with her lamp of love and truth.
She smiles 50 she passes by mt,
And my cares seem half removed,
For the thought revives aud cheers me
That by one still am loved.
So. whene'r I'm faint or weary,
or my drooping spirits sink,
the gloomy thoughts put from me,
And upon that angel think.
And 1 bless the band OF phantoms
That come to me at night,
As l sit alone and thinking
BY the dickering taper's light.

How They Treat Broken Packages
in the London Post-O Office.

There is no SAVIOR of Yankee baggage
smashing In this account of the tender
manner IN which accidentally broken
parcels are treated in the London post
office, and this was at Christmas, too,
when there is a great rush of mail mat
ter. They are borne away to a side
table, which is called g the hospital" =
and in this post-office infrmary two
clever surgeons dexterously stitch up
their wounds, set all their broken limbs
in splints, and in fine cure such of them
as are at all durable, In a marvelously
short space of time. Some of the pa
tients seem past cure. Alas for the box
of bonbons that has burst open, and
the contents of which are brought
piecemeal into hospital, where the sur
geon receives them with shake of the
head. In extremis seems this doll
whose integuments have been torn of,
whose nose has been stove in, and one
of whose neither limbs arrives some
time after the frame to which it belongs.
A bit of string tinkers up box con-
tanning lump of plum cake half cased
in sugar, but there is no cure for this
packet of Taddy's snuff, addressed in a
woman's handwriting to woman, and
the contents, pervading the atmosphere
generally, set everybody a-sneezing.
Decidedly "open for inspection" is the
doll in this parcel; the head sticks. mp
out of the paper, and something or
other has given madame black eye.
A box of real roses, sent from France to
Scarborough, has got broken, and some
of the leaves fall on the surgeons table
as the delicate. odor scents tho air.
With tender finger he handles the
beautiful bouquet, and let us hope the
fair one whose bosom. it viii adorn- to-
morrow night viii scarcely be cognizant
of the 1nishap. The trussed fowl in
this package has not been seriously in
jured, nor has the snipe in this other,
but the surgeon shifts disgust at it's
high condition as he makes it fit for
the road again. After all it is not so
bad as the dead puppy which passed
through his hands the other night
There is a smashed scent-bottle, whose
contents have been mainly absorbed by
a chignon addressed to a married lady.
A woolly dog, that barks snappishly
when he is handled, is half out of his
paper kennel. A box of mistletoe has
seriously suffered, but the doctor Ge-
hulfe is dexterously to the front, and i
cherry lips may yet be kissed under it
tomorrow night. Why didn't the gen.
tleinan who sent the beautiful bouquet
to the lady in Surrey inclose it in a
better box, and why, oh why was not
the dish of larks forwarded in some
thing more substantial than a fragile
case of paper, so as to avert the ANAL
gamrtion into which they had entered
with the contents of Master Jacks

DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION ho OF
our readers has not suffered from the
ills and varied forms of this hydra
headed tormenter, which originates
from loss of tone in the stomach, or
more particularly in its muscular or
fibrous coating, which becomes pale
and feeble. It would require pages
to describe all the symptoms and vari-
ous sympathetic affections of indlges-
ton, and the torture to which the dys-
peptic is suggested, but which may be
comlressad into one brief fcomprehensiye
sentence: You feel sick, depressed, and
unfit for the duties of life. Neverthe-
less, there is nothing more certain than
that dyspepsia in all its phases, can be
thoroughly eradicated.
There is but one way to cure indiges-
ton, viz by toning and strengthening
the stomach and general system, gently
relaxing the bowels if constipated, and
regulating the liver if disordered.
A remedy for this human peace
destroyer is CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BIrTERs, which have the rare merit
of containing no alcohol, the virtues of
the medicinal California plants, which
constitute their healing and curing
agencies, being extracted by new
chemical process. The popular verdict
is that they are the most perfect article
for the stomach, and are to be taken as
circumstances may require, with the
fullest confidence, and that by their
means can the return of this distressing
malady be prevented. We are satisfied
this remedy is of great valne.

The Limitations of Education.


We have spent two generations now
in praising education and endeavoring
to outdo one another in our estimates of
what it was possible for education to do
But in our enthusiasm we have over
praised it. There are many things that
the most careful education cannot -
And the sooner we come to understand
our limitations, the more wisely we
shall carry forward our work. Take
even the matter of temper The child
who IS quick or violent in his passions
Will ALWAYS be so. How many mothers
have sunk down in dependency be-
temper You could more easily make
blue eyes black. People talk of sub
DUNG a strong-willed child, of breaking
the force of his viii. You may change
the manner of the action of his viii, but
you cannot break the viii unless you
break the boy. And just such hopeless
things are undertaken in educational
institutions. Boys are sent to college
who should have been sent anywhere
else. 1t matters little that you say you
will develop deficient faculties. That
can be done within limits But when
you try to turn a boys whole life in
direction in which he is poorest, you
condemn him to failure and intellectual
penury. Strengthen the weak side,
but let the life-work lie in the direction
of the strong side. If your boy is a
mechanic by nature, do not make him a
preacher. Give him large general cul-
ture if he Will take it, and then let him
lift his burdens with the strongest arm,
his constructive faculty. But shall we
give over trying to do anything for the
s'high-tempered' child Shall we let
his passions run riot ? Certainly not.
What We insist on is that they can be
regulated, but not eradicated. There
was near city a crooked stream tint
wandered round and round, obstructing
travel and injuring the value of proper
ty. Nobody dreamed of drying it up.
But the citizens Strengthened it, and
walled it in, and embarked against its
overflow, and cleared obstructions from
its bed, and built mills upon its margin.
The unpleasant trait in child's
character may be walled by habits of
self-contrel, may be utilized by giving
it right direction, may be made more
q blessing and less a curse than it would
be without discipline. But it cannot be
destroyed. Education can do almost
anything in the sphere of habit. 1t can
do little in the sphere of ingrained
quality. Powerless over nature, sovereign
over second nature. Hearth and Home.
