Fellowship with God.

In all mems deepest feelings they do
acknowledge is an instinct irrepressi-
ble-that the one thing needful for
them is a loving intercourse with God.
All other things we need only qualified
", as wealth, OF friends, or learning,
or the arts Of life, but this one thing do
we need absolutely. 1t we're by itself
an essential bliss; yea, even in the loss
of worldly good. That an assured fell
lowship with God must exercise and
satisfy the exact seif-hood Of man, is
a very intuition of all men. Whereas
all worldly good, without God, does
hut leave us restless and aching still.
All the things thou canst desire, the
passions gratified the appetite regRled,
the inebriation Of power, the ministry
of art, the wonders OF science, the glow
Of thought, sentiment and sensibility,
enterprise, friendship, the family, the
Stato-au these things, without God,
are only a triumph Of the pulse, a
dance Of the spirits, froth Of Joy, leav-
ing the soul more vapid than before"
Serious-minded men know IL 70 be 20.
Nor is it any mere thanking Of God that
viii satisfy us; neither the searching out
and adm irinz OF his wonderful works,
but only l.ie personal meeting with God.
A man viii give his lifetime 70 the study
Of a butterfly, or a rock. or q star, and
fondly claim that he is converaing with
God; but vninly thus viii lie whisper
peace, peace TO his soul, when there is
no peace. That butterfly was but n
beaminR forth from God-not God him
self. light from yonder mansion IL
shining into the outer darkness, and
poor, houselesa stranger on the street

Make Friends.

81 will give you an unfailing key to
success" said an experienced man to
his young friend "Male one no1p
friend every day, and retain all you
make" Three hundred and sixty-iive
friends a year would certainly be an i'm
portant auxiliary to the productive re-
sources" of an ambitious young man
making his may in the world. But then
comes the question: How are these
friends to be made ? It VIII be easy
enough to retain a friend once earned,
but how can this very excellent pre-
scription of making friends be car
ried out? There may be many
ways in which progress may be had in
this direction, even if the task should
not be literally accomplished. Let us
look at the matter in a rational way.
To commence with, civility is an ex-
eellent bait with which to catch friends /;
and civility is cheap. Nothing is easier
than to keep supply " constantly on
hand. There are bogus articles some
times attempted to be palmed off for
the real thing, but they are all so base
that they are easily detected. Obsequi-
ousness is one aattery another mock
modesty a third ; Oficiousness n fourth,
and soon. These may have the " genuine
stamp" but their spuriousness is easily
detected. True civility needs no false
lights to show its points. 1t is the enl-
bodiment of Truth, the mere opening
out of the inner self The arts and
artifices of polished exterior are well
enough but if they are anything less
or more then a fair exponent of inward
rectitude, their hollowness cannot long
escape detection. Shakespeare has said
ga man mag smile, and smile, and be
a villain 5" but all the world knows that
there is a wide difference between the
smile OF a villain and that of an honest
man.
Courtesy, which is the natural ont
growth of inward gentleness, bears its
characteristics by the artless child as by
the grown man. Civility, therefore, to
be effective in this quest, must have the
sub-stratum of goodness. 1t must be
pervading and uniform, not exceptional
and fitful. 1t is all very well to lay the
blame of an unreliable and explosive
temper upon weak digestion, or that
crash humor' inherited from others /;
but it's disastrous effects are all the same.
The worst tempers are made subservient
to a well settled and persistent prin-
ciple of right doing and that is the
only thing which can be relied on. The
whole question therefore resolves itself
into this formula.
To make friends, Do right.
To kcep friends, Do right.

IN GENERAL.

All the telegraph companies except the
Western Union having formed a combination
to lower rates, the Western Union has now
appointed a committee to confer with the op-
position lines to fix, if possible on a uniform
tariff. The new Automatic Telegraph Com
pany has just cut down rates from two cents
to one cent word. The Western Union is
the company which transmits the messages of
the Western Press Association, but the pro-
posed modification of tariff will not, possibly,
interfere with or reduce the press contracts, or
make the news any cheaper to the newspapers.
1t is stated that combination of tele-
graph companies outside of the Western
Union Company are about to purchase the
Franklin Line, and will consolidate upon
over telegraph rates upon the trunk lines
between large cities, while the rates on short
distances viii remain the same as at present.
"A French surgeon has now inserted sue
cessfully into the skull Of his dogs watch
crystals, through which he can observe the
processes of the canine brain during sleep,
indigestion, when influenced by rage or other
emotion, and in it's normal movements. The
pack seems to show no aversion to having an
eye set on their inmost thoughts, nor to con-
tributing to science through their sky-lights,
and the savan expects to show, as clear
crystal, that the theory that blood tends to the
head in sleep is an error.
1t is stated that the Pope has requested
Father Burke, the Dominican antagonist Of
Froude to hasten back to Rome
On New Years day there were 80, $40 post
Offices IN the United States.

Education of the Eve.

No mechanic can ever attain distinc-
ton unless he is able to detect ordinary
imperfection at sight, so that he can see
if things are out of plumb, out of level,
out of square and cut of proper shape;
and unless he can also detect dispropor-
toned or nl-shaped patterns. This is
great mechanical attainment. We say
attainment, because it can be attained
by any ordinary person. OF course
there are defective eyes as there are
other defective organs; the speech, for
instance, is sometimes defective; but
the eye Is susceptible of the same train
ing as any other organ. The muscles,
the voice, the sense of hearing, all re-
quire training. Consider how the ar
tist must train the organ of sight IN or
der to detect the slightest imperfection
in shade, color, proportion, shape, ex-
preston, &c. Not one blacksmith in
five ever attains the art of hammering
square; yet it is very essential in his oc-
cupation. It is simply because he al
lows himself to get into careless habit;
little training and care is all that is
necessary for success.
The fact is that the eye is not half as
much at fault as the needless mind.
Some carpenters acquire tine careless
habit of using try square every time
they square off a shaving, in place of
giving their minds right to their bust
ness and properly training their eyes;
and unless they cultivate this power of
the eye they viii always be at journey
work. Look at the well-trained black
smith; he goes across the shop, picks up
the horses foot, takes squint, returns
to the anvil, forges the shoe, and it ex-
actly fits the foot Contrast him with
the bungler who looks at the foot, then
forges a shoe, often to the ruin of a fine
horse. Now the fault lies in ever allow
ing himself to put shoe that is not in
proper shape for the foot; he should de-
termine to make the shoe fit the feot in
place of the foot fitting the .shoe, and
he should follow it up until the object
is accomplished.
A very good way to discipline the me-
chanical eye is to first measure an inch !
with the eye, then prove it with the
rule, then measure half inch, then an !
eighth, and so on, and you VIII soon be |
able to discover at a glance the differ
ence between a twelfth and a sixteenth |
of an inch; then go to three inches, six, !
twelve and so on. Some call this guess
ing; there Is no guess work about it, it !
is measuring with the eye and mind. |
Acquire the habit of criticising for i'm
perfections every piece of work that you |
see; do everything as nearly as you can
without measuring Cor spelling it, or
as nearly as You can trust the eye with |
with its present training. If you can
not see things mechanically do not
blame the eye for it; it is no more to
blame than the mouth is because we can |
not read, or the fingers because we can,
not write. A person may write a very
good hand with his eyes closed, the
mind of course directing the fingers.
Tue eye is necessary, however, to de-
tect imperfections.
Every occupation in life requires a
mechanically trained eye, and we should
realize, more than we do, the great i'm
portance of properly training that
organ.

New PROCESS FOR ExTACTTNG GOLD
AND SILVER FROM COPPER PYRTTEs.-
This method, invented by F. Claudet,
is based upon the insolubility of the
iodides of gold and silver. After the
pvrites have been desulphurized by the
addition of salt, they are placed in bar
rels with false bottom and hxlvlated
with acidulated water. The wash water
consists of sulphate of soda, chloride OF
copper. and some chloride of silver.
From this liquor the copper may be
precipitated in metallic state by means
of sheets iron or iron scraps; but If the
noble metals are to be separated, the
waters from the three first extractlons
are collected, and the requisite quantit
,af iodide of potassium in solution Is adj
ded to them. After having been left
undisturbed for twenty-four hours, the
clear liquor is drawn off, the vessel Is
then filed again, and iodide of potas-
sium is added in short, the operation
is repeatedly until a sufficiently large
quantity of precipitate has collected.
This contains sulphate of lead and cop
per salts, besides iodides of gold and
silver. The salts of copper are washed
out, whereupon the residue is mixed
with zinc, in a finely divided form,
which combines with the iodine. Hence
the result Is mixture of gold, silver
lead and some oxide of zinc, from which
it is easy to separate the noble metals.
Claudet produced in 1871. BY this
process, from 16,3OO tons of desulphur-
lied pyrites, 333, 242 kilograRlmes silver
and 3,172 kilogrammes gold, at net
profit of S16, 100.
