SILENT SOULS.

The animal Psychology" of Matz-
dorff cites Il case in which a blind rat
was carefully cared for by its compan-
ions. The surgeon Morand, of Paris,
had a friend, whose dog broke his leg,
which, to oblige his friend, he set and
dressed and looked after until the bone
was firmly united. One evening, some
weeks afterward, he heard Il scratching
at his door. On opening it in walked
his late canine patient, followed by an
other dog with a broken leg, which he
gave the doctor 70 understand he would
have him dress.

to learn to read, and many grown men
and women can neither read nor write.
This is the way they make the nails {:
They buy iron rods just the right size
for the nails they make-for n family
always makes the same size of nail.
They take one OF these Iods, heat it
red-hot at the forge, lay it OIL the anvil,
and cut off the length of a nail /; then,
laying away the rest of the rod, they
take the piece they have cut off, pound
it out to a point at one end, and pound
on q head at the other. A very slow
operation, you see, when you think of
how the machines snap them off cold.
A whole family scarcely ever earns more
than five dollars a week at the work,
and part of that has to go for the coal it
uses.

try that l have read about uses one

BE Kind.

Rob Reed was a good boy. He was
kind to all. No dog or cat was hurt by
him. No bird, or mouse, or little fly,
need fear him.
4 dove fell down at his feet n day.
He did not wish to hurt it, bat, as he
saw it did not fly, he took it in his hand.
He said, 81 Will take care Of il till it is
well" lie put it in n box, On some
soft hay, and fed it with bread and corn.
The dove got well anu grew quite tame.
Fred Flagg was not ike Rob. 1t was
well for all weak things If they KEEP: ont
of Fred's way. He pinched tie dogs
ears, and pulled the cats tail.
One day he put u small kitten on n
board, and set it on n pond to float off
and die. The pond was a mile long.
The poor kit lay down and mewed in
great fear. But Fred did not care. He
let it so, and it was soor out of sight.
God took care Of the kitten. He made
the wind push the board far down to the
end of the pond, near the house where
Rob lived. Rob was near the shore, and
heard the kitten new. He took a long
pole and drew the beard to the shore.

Ted'S Hat.

Teddie had gone out with papa to
select a straw hat. 1t was to be his
best hat during the season, as papa's
finances would not admit of many
changes. Mamma had suggested a lit
tie round hat of fine white straw, as
that would look well with his pretty
sailor suit of blue, in which we all
thought he looked so nice. Papa's
taste is very good indeed, and neither
mamma nor myself had much fear for
the result but we did feel a little tiut-
ter of curiosity rs to how Ted would
look in his new hat, as Ted's features
are not at all handsome indeed, ]
heard some one remark the other day
that "Ted's profile was enough to make
one shout" His nose is such a defiant
little pug and then the freckles they
are everywhere dotting his face all over.
However, though Ted isn't a Bit OF n
beauty. his physique is splendid. l
think his being so strong and well adds
to his strength of thought and VIII, for
Ted is what, in man or woman, VT would
call strong minded.
Ted wasn't gone long; he came in
carrying his brown paper parcel with
very much the air OF = Young prince
carrying his future crown. Dear, dear,
if You could have seen It 1t was pur-
pie and white mixed straw, with "A blue
ribbon band, and a metal velocipede
with a metal boy astride on II side
and Ted had selected it himself from Il
dozen prettier and more stylish hats.
Mamma protested against the incon-
gruous combination of colors and bad
style Of the hat generally, md thought
it had better be returned and exchanged;
but when Ted's upper lip began to
quiver, and the tears he had kept out
Of his eyes showed themselves i'll his
voice, mamma began 20 relent.
So Tor months Ted has worn his ugly
little hat, and | think during that time
We have ali grown to like it-perhaps
because it has been so constantly assoc
ciated with our boy, for seldom has the
busy, bobbing head been without its
straw covering.
Ted has taken great pride in the hat,
and l think he always will SO long as
the "velos," as he terms it, retains its
original brightness for, though the
straw has grown shabby and the ribbon
band rusty, the metal boy is as bright
as ever, and is still riding round and
round the crown of Ted's hat.-Ucarth

NOW DRY [ Al.

On n slceping-car the other night,
one lady exclaimed, III a slow and sol
emn voice. "Oh, how dry | am -
There was Il moments pause, and again
rang ont, oh, now dry | am :" An
other moment passed, and the Gozing
slecpers We're once mole startled hy :he
scpulchral information, "Oh, how dry
I am" Wont somebody get that
woman a driuk?" howled an old gentle
man, who, being rheum4tic, and occu-
pying an upper berth, could no. very
well do it himself. The demand was
complied with, and the grateful sound
Of gUrgling water was soon heard.
There was a moment of silence, and fol
lowing it came the same solemn tone,
"Oh, how dry l was !" There appeared
to be no Doubt about it by the occu-
pants of the car. and if the truth could
have been known, they were unselfshly
glad that she had found relief and they
composed themselves afresh for sleep.
Then the voice again smote TIE air,
"Oh, how dry l was !" Everybody
started, and every eve was distended.
ooh, how dry | wasH' repeated the
grateful woman. Then dry up! -
screamed the gallant gentleman i'll
the upper berth. She did.-Twckcc

BUSINESS.

One familiar with the German GUS
toms service may wonder that their bet
ter method of dealing with importers is
not adopted here. Their customs Of
ficers are experts in the lines Of goods
they are to examine. They have the
right to take for the Government any
goods they see tit at the valuation
placed upon the invoice. Thus, when
it is apparent fraud is intended by un-
d~er-valuation, the officer SIMPLY a V :
1.-The Government will take the goods
AZ that valuation" and it does so. They
are then disposed Of by the officer for
the Government, or by the Government
itself, and The proceeds paid into the
customs treasury. There is no seizure
of books, no qua:rels with importers,
and very little friction any way. Can
we not learn q little wisdom from our
Teutonic brethren's way of doing their
revenue business?

4 SOME OF yEREIRLE BEATTY.

\ correspondent writing from the
Hawaiian Islands says Il would like
to give a description of the great lava
overflown regions, but must content
myself with your imagining Il sea of
~seething, foaming fire, miles in width,
and from ten to thirty feet deep, rush
ing like a torrent Over the earth, of the
terrible molten lake of fire in the volca-
no of Kilauea, singing like the eyerlast-
ing ocean. You would have TO see to
realize its sublime grandeur. 1t was
loyely-even enchanting-as l rode
along on horseback, to pass for miles
through dense forests of hala trees, the
tree from which they make their mat
tings, and also the groves of stately
palm trees, bathing their feet in the
billowy ocean. and stretching ont their
beautiful limbs in the golden, glorious
sunlight. Then, the beautiful bread
fruit trees and the waving banana
groves, and the pa payas, etc, fascinate
the eye. Nature revels in grandeur in
the tropics the great God Of Nature is
to be seen in all his splendor and mag
n~iicence."

ONE OF HAMNOND'S STORIES.
From q Sermon at st. Louis

rrom u SermCn NJ 81. LOUIS,
He closed his discourse with an Illus
tration depicting most wildly the dan
ger OF hating between two opinions.
He represented a consultation among
the devils in hell, while a revival of
great power was in progress in Kirk
caldy, Scotland. Satan called all his
devils together to devise some plan to
counteract the influence of the gospel
in that place. He said: "Who will
go to Kirkcaldy to break up that reviv-
alp" "IT CO." says one. "What
will you tell them?" asked the devil.
"In tell them that there is no God"
"Tell a Scotchmen there is no God
when he las the Bible in his hand ?
Avaunt," said Satan. "Who1l go to
Kirkcaldy and break up that r~evival?"
"I1l CO." says another. VIVA will
you tell them?', "Iu tell them that
Christ was not divine" "Tell a
Scotchman Christ was not divine, with
the open Bible before him? That
might do in America, where they don't
study their Bibles much, and where
men, pretending to be Christian minis
tiers, stand up in their pulpit and deny
the divinity of the Son of God, but that
would never do for Scotland. Avaunt !"
Who'll go to Kirkcaldy and break up
that revival?" "I1l CO." said a third.
what will you tell them?" "In tell
them there is a God that he has a
government administered by laws that
whoever breaks those laws is under
penalty. I'll tell them that Christ was
divine, and that he is their only hope OF
salvation in short, I'll tell them all
their ministers say to them is true, but
I'll also whisper in their ears time
enough yet, time enough yet"
AWAY, away" said Satan, ".you are
just the one. Away, away"

Little Kitty.

David almost lost his way. He came
from school through the woods. 1t was a
new home, aud David had not learned
all the turns and openings yet. There
was a little path through the woods !;
but it had been showing all day, and the
path was covered with snow. The sun
was setting and the moon was rising.
David got bewildered. "He got
turned" he said, and could not find his
way home. He called, but nobody IN
swered. He shouted as loud as he
could, but was only answered by the
echo. He called again, "Father, IA
ther!' Presently he heard a feeble
voice near him crying New, NEW,
new" He turned round and there was
his little kitty.
She heard Eer young masters voice in
the woods, and, remembering his kind
ness, RAM long way through the snow
to find him. David took uppretty pus-
sy, and,following its footmarks, soon saw
a bright light shining through the
kitchen window. If David had
amused himself by tormenting and
frightening the kitty, you may be sure
il would have run the other way

Grammatical Sulgarisms.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-17

EVERY steamer coming down from
San Francisco is loaded with passen-
gers, four-fifths of whom land at Will
mington. By far the greater proper
tion of these people are searching for
homes in Southern California At no
time within the last twenty years has
the number of arrivals been anything
like as great as at present. A proper
tion of those coming are of the honest
miner race, on their way to Panamint
and the country east of u.s. but the
number in search of land is large, and
asa general thing they desire to locate
in Los Angeles valley. By far the
greater number of these are pleased
with the country and delighted with
what they see. People from the
Northwestern States are astonished,
and among the first inquiries is the
one, els this your Winter weather ?''
The green hills and sunny days are
things they are not accustomed to see
at this season of the year in the coun-
try of their old homes. Los Angeles
valley is receiving large and desira-
BILE accession to her population.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-17
Prompt Action Necessary.

A matter of very great Importance
to. the future of Los Angeles is not re-
ceiving that attention it deserves. We
refer to the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence Railroad. Beyond the fact
that We have an engineer running
preliminary lines nothing is being
done, and in place of energetic action
and a manifest determination to build
the road, there are unmistakable
signs that We are gradually setting
back into the old style apathy, the
grand purpose of which was to let
every day provide for itself. Why
wait for the engineers report? We
know from the Investigations he has
already made that the Cajon Pass
route is the one we shall adopt; we
know that it ispractical. Why not
go to work now? We must have the
road or lose the already large and ra p
idly increasing trade of Panamint,
Cerro Gordo and all the Owens river
country. This is a conclusion which
cannot be talked out of sight. The
"back country" trade, about which
the HERALD has talked so much that
some people have thought it the cor
rect thing to make fun of it, is ofvital
interest to Los Angeles. If we retain
tive become city; if we lose it we
remain town. The upper portion of
the SanJoaquin valley and the rail-
road company are doing all in their
power, which is a great deal more
than our people are doing, to induce
this vast trade TO reach and leave the
railroad at or near Bakersfield. Their
success or failure depends upon the
people of Los Angeles. We can con-
tinue on in the course we are now
travelling and in little time the trade
that now passes through this city will
