Now, the warm weather is coming, we
should look to our cellars. All the vege-
table matter should be removed from the m
except the potatoes, and they should have
the sprouts rubbed off as fast as they ap.
pear. After being thoroughly cleaned of
everything offensive in the vegetable or
any other line, white-wash them with two
good coats, and you will have sweet eel
lars and run no danger from fevers and
other illnesses arising from neglect OF
these matters. Sinks about house, which
become very offensive in hot weather,
should also have clearing out. the water
course open, and all soil impregnated
should be removed and used as manure.

will allow any accumulation of filth of any
kind to remain or to accumulate about the

SAYING AND DoING.-Two bro
theirs used to 60 to school togeth-
er. One evening they thought
they should like to have q holiday
the next day so they asked their
f4thcr to give them one. He
said, II cannot because it will put
you back in your studies; mind
you 60 to school," One Of the
brothers said, eyes, I will )" but
the other said he would not, and
his father was very angry with
him.
The next day the one that bad
said eyes" played truant, but the
one that had refused went to
school. Then the father said to
them in the evening, "Both ofyou
are in the wrong; but you that
promised to 60 and broke your
promise are The worse Of the two"
Our father in heaven speaks to
US every day, and says "Do my
WILL" and whenever We kneel down
We say, "Yes, I will" Now if we
say We will do Gods will, and yet
do not try to do it, are we not like
the boy that first made a promise
and then broke it,"
Some people never pray to God
at all, and rever promise to do
His will. Perhaps you are inclin-
ed to say, "They are very bad
people" But if you pormise, and
do not try to keep your promise,
are you not worse than they?

LoNGEyITY.-AIr. H. Ffennell, writ
ing in Land and Water in reference
to a tour lately made through the
Donegal Highlands, gives some re-
markable instances of longevity in
Ireland. He says,-"Up in a val
ley (near Bancrana, county Done
gaD I came upon a curious instance
of longevity, and was pointed out
three cottages-cabins, indeed, I
NAV call them-in each Of which, in
May last, there resided a human be
ing aged 101 years-two men and
a woman, all of them born IN the
same year. One OF the men died IN
Nav, but the old man and woman
are still living, and seemed hearty
enough, though they looked their
age. Evidently the poor folk around
were proud of those three old peo-
pie, and speak with the greatest
respect OF the poor old fellow who
dropped off in the Spring. I was
sorry I did not ask whether tea en-
ters into the diet Of the Innishowen
peasantry, for further on in my wan
derings through South Donegal l
was told they had no old people at
all since tea-drinking came into
fashion. Many instances ofthe kill
ing qualities Of tea were gravely de-
scribed to me, and I was told how
the priest from the altar cursed the
use of it again and again.

4 Fatal SrRNG.-About one-half
a mile over a mountain from Bart
lett Springs there is what is called
the Gas spring. This is probably
the greatest curiosity of the noun
tains. The water is ice-cold, but
bubbling and foaming as if boiled,
and the greatest wonder is the me-
vitable destruction of life produced
by inbaling the gas. No live thing
is to be found within circuit of
100 yards near this spring. The
very birds, if they happen to fly over
it, drop dead. We experimented
with lizard on it's destructive
properties, by holding it a few feet
above the water; it stretched dead
in two minutes. It will Kill a hu-
man being in twenty minutes. We
stood over it about FIVE minutes,
when a dull, heavy, aching sense
ton crept over US, and our eyes be-
gan to swim. The gas which es-
capes here is the rankest kind OF
carbonic acid, hence its sure de-
struction of life; also quenching Of
fame instantaneoUsly.

wall of his office, and We know that
he has associated with him several
of the most eminent practitioners in
the country. We know that parties
consult him, by mail and in psrson,
from all the States in the Union
every day, and that they are fairly
and honestly dealt with. We know
that his medicines are sold in enor-
nous quantities in every State in

foreign countries.
This grand result has been ac-
complished by two agencies-good,

In conclusion, I cannot offer a
better refutation of the slanderous

the testimonials on file in my Office,

Of the world, and express the graft

TOUCHING BoTToM.-This event
occurred during a big blow on the
Mississippi, at time when so many
stray RATS were swamped and so
many steamboats, lost their sky-rig-
ging. A raft was just emerging
from Lake Pepin as the squall came.
In a moment the raft was pitching
and .writhing as if suddenly drop
ped into Charybdis. While the
waves broke overit with tremendous
uproar, and, expecting instant de-
struction, one raftsman dropped on
his knees and commenced praying
with q vim equal to the emergency.
Happening to open his eyes for an
instant, he discovered his compan-
ion, not engaged in prayer, but push
inc at the side of the raft whats

STARTLING FACTS ABOUT THE
SvS.-An Armstrong gun fires
bullet at the rate of 400 yards per
second. 4 bullet fired at that rate,
and maintaining it to the sun,
would take thirteen years to get
there and the sound Of the explo-
sion would reach the sun half
year later. In other words, those
beings, those men who Borshipped
the sun and raised their voices
IN prayer to him, if their voices
could have been heard and there
was an atmosphere, a medium Of
intercommunion, by which the
sound of their voices could reach
him, in thirteen and one-half years
would have reached their God.-
If there was a steal rod connecting
the earth with the sun, and the
pole Of the earth we're brought
into communication with the sun,
300 years would elapse before the
strain would reach the earth. An
other consideration-and this was
suggested by Prof. Mendenbaff,
Of our country, and, by Holmes
and others-is this: Feeling is
conveyed along the nerves ten
times slower than sound travels.
If, therefore, an infant were born
having an arm of the inconvenient
length of 81, 100000 miles, so as
to reach the sun ; and if in the era
die, while in babyhood, he were
to stretch his out arm and touch
the sun, the infant might grow to
the threescore years and ten allot-
ed to man, and even fourscore,
but he never would be conscious
Of the fact that the tip Of his
finger was burned he should live
1876 years before that would be ex-
pected.-Prof. Proctor.

How calm she was! There WAS

tell how she suffered.

not even a tremor of the voice to
tell how she suffered.
Yes, it is your right, my poor
child!' y I said. 1T gives me ano,
ther pang to give him up, even to
you, my daughter; still I do it.
She looked up quickly.
He has told you 2
Yes
"Yet you speak kindly to me and
do not condemn u.s."
A sad, beautiful smile for mo-
ment lighted her features. She
raised one of my hands and kissed
it reverently.
"Thank you, she said. Some
time you will be glad for having
shown this kindness to one so much
in need Of it. Now, mother, leave
me-
T left the apartment, but did not
retire. All night I sat on the floor
outside the door, hoping that Katie
would bid me enter; but no such
summons came. Daylight return
ed and the busy world again moved,
still I heard no movement in the
chamber of death. At last my anx-
iety became so great, that I opened
the door and glanced in. The girl
knelt by the side of the corpse, ap-
parently asleep. Softly I stole for
ward, and raised the dropping head.
But no sad eyes met my gaze, no.
thing but the white face, the staring
orbs of a corpse. Katie had died
by her own hand, as bottle which
she clutched proved.
The next day they buried the
pair, my crring son and his child
wife, in one grave; and rs the clods
fell on the coffin the brightness Of
my life went out forever.
Mrs. Brown could say no more,
for sobs choked her utterance. Her
listener, too, was deeply affected,
as her pale face and fearful eyes
showed.
Leaving the bereaved mother for
a moment Mrs. Gray stole softly to
to the door and called:
willie! :"
The child heard her and came
quickly to her side.
"What is it, mammal"
1T is so lonesome without you,
darling," she said, drawing him to
her.
4 smile lit up his face.
Then, do you love me, mammal"
'Love you? Oh Willie ~
Her arms were about him now
and she was sobbing on his shoul-
der.
did somebody tell you about
those bad boys?" he asked, wonder
ingly. "Ihey have got flask of
whiskey, mamma.
Thank God You are saved, my
darling" she cried, Historically.
She drew him closer to her, she
clung to him, she showered kisses
on his wondering face. But never.
until he was a man, with a son of
his own, did she tell him the story
of that other Willie, whose child
hood and his had been so much
alike, and how, by the knowledge
of that other Willies unfortunate
career he had been saved by her
perhaps from like fate.

Many young people think that
an idle life must be a pleasant one
but this is a sad mistake. as they
would soon find out if they made
g trial Of the life they think so
agreeable. One who is never busy
can never enjoy rest; for rest implies
a relief from previous labor; and if
our whole time were spent in anu
sing ourselves, we should find it
more wearisome than the hardest
days work. Recreation is only val
liable as itunbends us; the idle can
know nothing of it. Many people
leave off business and settle down
to a life of enjoyment; but they find
that they are not nearly SO happy
as they were before, and they are
often glad to return to the occupa-
tions to escape the miseries.
