by the skirts Of her dress, and being

back upon the sidewalk, and stood
over her until the train had passed.
The little miss scolded and kicked
his shins, but he did't let her up
until the danger had passed, when
he trudged on behind her as though

BIRTH AND DEATH.

How quickly one generation of men
follows another to the grave! We
come like the ocean waves TO the
shore, and scarcely strike the strand
before we roll back into the forgetful-
ness whence we come. "Ihere is a
skeleton in every house." Ay, in
some, many. We can stand upon
the corner ofany street. and, looking
back. we shall see that all the houses
have changed occupants in a few
years. The old men have gone, and
a generation that know them not has
taken their places. Yes! while we
look. we ourselves grow old and pass
on to join the caravan whose tents
are almost in sight on the other side.
In youth the other world seems .
great way off, but later we feel and
realize that it is closer at hand ; and
what is better. nature does the
preparatory work for passing into it.
so that easily we grow into it-art
born into it.

A. Veitchii attaches itself firmly to

The foliage turns brilliant red in aut-

Among grasses we find nothing
equal to Saccharanuna naaddena and
ErianthuS ravessne, both being
perfectly hardy and of luxurlant

DEAD, BOT NOT BURIED.
BY T. B. ALDRICH.

When friend dies and is buried
there's an end of him. We miss him
for space out ef our daily existence;
we mourn for him by degree that
become mercifully less we cling to
the blessed hope that we shall be
reunited in some more perfect sphere
but SO far as this earth is concerned,
there's an end Of him. However
near and dear he was, the time ar
rives when he does not form part
of our daily thought; he ceases to be
even an abstraction. We 20 no
more with flowers and tears into the
quiet cemetery; only the rain and the
snow-Aakes fall there; we leave it Tor
the fingers of spring to deck the
neglected mound.
But when our friend vanished
unaccountably in the midst of a
crowded city, or goes off on sea-
voyage and is never heard of again,
his memory has a singular tenacity.
He my be. {. all intents and purposes
dead to us, but we have not lost him.
The ring Of the door bell at midnight
may be his ring; the approaching
footstep may be his footstep; the
unexpected letter with foreign
postmarks may be from his hand.
He haunts US as the dead never
can. 49, $500

THOUGHTS FOR THINKERS.

To feel conviction of Immortality
We must live for it. Let any one
firmly believe that the soul is perman-
ent, and live in that belief. and
soon existence will seem
permanent, too: the world
becomes the vail of brighter golry
that lies behind il and the condemna-
tion of unbelief is lifted off. since
the mind, conscious of its own noted
being, does not wait for immortality,
but lis passed from death unto
life.''
Our habituaI life ia like wall
hung with pictures, which has been
shone on by the suns of many
years; take one of the pictures away,
and it leaves a definite, blank space,
to which our eyes can never turn
without sensation of discomfort.
Nay, the involuntary loss of any ia
millar object almost always brings a
chill as from an evil omen; it seems
to be the first fnger-shadow of adj
vancing death.
Let not your thoughts dwell con-
tiuuallJ upon your distresses and
affections. Suffer not the chambers
of your soul to be ever hung round
with dark and dismal ideas. Look
sometimes on your brighter scenes;
suffer not your sorrow to bury all
your comforts in darkness and obliv-
ion. Thankfulness is one way to
ioy.- Watts.

TIME THE GREAT HEALER

Time heals all griefs, even the
bitterest, and it is well that it should
be SO. A long-indulged sorrow for
the dead, or for any other hopeless
loss, would deaden our sympathies
for those still left, and thus make a
sinful Sapathy steal over the soul,
absorbing all its powers, and caus.-
ing the many blessings Of life to be
felt as curses. AS the bosom of earth
blooms again and again, having burr
ed out Of sight the dead leaves Of
autumn, and loosed the frosty bands
of winter, so does the heart-in spi,e
of all that melancholy poets write
teel many renewed springs and
summers. It is a beautiful and
blessed world we live in, and while
lie lasts to lose the enjoyment Of il
is sin.

GENIUS FROM BROKEN
HEADS.

A writer in the British Colonist
notes various instances OF the
transmutation of .diocy into genius
by head-breaking accidents. The
great German Wallenstein is said 60
have been but a half-witted child
until a fall from a window and con-
sequent cerebral fracture suddenly
redeemed his intellectual nature.
The famous Mabilen was irreclaim-
ably idiotic until in his nineteenth
year, when fall down a stone
staircase turned him into a genius.
In an English lunatic asylum one
patient struck another tremendous
blow on the bridge of the nose, and
FROM that moment the stricken man
rapidly regained his sound mind.
In fact. one of the old English
remedies for imbecility and madness
was a revolving swing, whirling
around hudrsd times 10 q Minute.
The patient was strapped helpless to
q machine, which, after hundreds of
revolutions, was stopped
witha frightful jerk, attic very height
Gifts velocity. And there ia indiaput
able evidence that many astonishing
cures were wrought thereby.

WHY OLD NEVADA RIVERS

SLEEP AS A MEDICINE.

A physician says that the cry for
rest has always been louder than
the cry for food. Not that it is most
important, but it is often harder to
obtain. The best rest comes from
sound sleep. Of two men or women
otherwise equal, the one who sleeps
will be the most moral, healthy and
efficient. Sleep will do much to cure
iritability of temper peevishness,
uneasiness. 1t will build up and
make strong a weak body. 1t will
cure a headache. It will cure a
broken spirit. 1t will cure sorrow.
Indeed we might make long list OF
nervous and other maladies that sleep
will cure
The cure of sleeplessness requires
a clean, good bed. sufficient exercise
10 produce weariness pleasant occupa-
ton, good air, and not too warm a
room a clear conscience, and avoid
ance of stimulants and narcotics.
For those who are overworked,
haggard. nervous, who pass sleepless
nights, we commend the adoption Of
such habits as shall secure sleep 4;
otherwise life will be short, and
what there is of ii sadly imperfect.

DO BEES MAKE HONEY 7

A correspondent of the American
ee Journal says:-Last September
/ fed my bees about twenty-five
pounds Of ceffee-sugar syrup per
stock, after extracting all of their
natural store. This amount l fed
all at once, in Novice's tea-kettle
feeder. In about one week after
wards, to satisfy myself, I cut out
some Of the combs, whice was filled
with the syrup, and. without inform
ing any one, placed it on the tea
table. 1t looked as nice as any
white clover honey you ever saw not
0 in my family Of four, on testing
lit but that pronounced it sugar
syrup, when they were not previously
informed Of the fact, No one could
be deceived by it; there was not a
particle of honey taste about it.
Chemical analysis may disprove
my theory ; but for all that practical
purpose, for. the tahle, sugar strip.
when worked over by bees for honey
is an utter failure. Syrup may
undergo some chemical change in the
receptacle Of the bee, but I imagine
it is so little that an epicure could
not preserve it is good food foi

Tell me, thou dust beneath my feet.

Thinks not she plOws rich q soil
And mines among the dead.
But oh, where'er She turns the ground

Enjoyed the ch oerful light

And went to est at night.

Ten thousand pulses b at;
Tell me in this small hill Ofdcath
How many mortals meet.
