THE USE OF WINE.

There is just one way of safety, and
only one. and young man who stands
at the beginning of his career can choose
whether he viii walk in it or in the
way of danger. There is notion abroad
among young men that wine is good
that when properly used it has help in
it,-that in a certain way it is food, or
help in the digestion of food. We be-
lieve that no greater or more fatal hallu-
cination ever possessed the world. and
that none so great ever possessed it for
SO long time. Wine is a medicine. and
men would take no more of it than
any other medicine if it we're not pleas
ant in its taste. and agreeable in its first
effects. The men who drink it, drink it
because they ike it. The theories as to
its bealthfulness come afterward. The
world cheats itself. and tries to cheat it.

it is well that all proper occasions should
be seized upon to make proclamation of
the fact to the whole world. Some relig-
ious associations have already taken steps
toward identifying their work with the
growth of the country BY putting forth
special effort during the year 1876. 1t
would be good thing if every institu-
ton marked the year as the era Of a new
career of usefulness.

The VERY ALPS OF IapuDEscE.

Policeman Badger of the Tenth Station
had bit of experience the other night
which he is not fond of talking about,
1t was past midnight as he was leisurely
pushing his beat through Jessop street,
and as he came opposite to Drayton &
Fogg's jewelry store he observed CLEANS
of light through the clinks of the shut
ters, and he raped at the door.
"Is that you policeman, asked voice
within.
Yes" answered Badger.
..well-it's only me-it's all right.
Kind o'chilly out isn't ito"
"Yes."
Thought so. l was just fixing the
fre-good night"
And Badger said GOOD night. and
pursued his way.
An hour afterward Badger passed
through Jessop street again, and again
he saw the light in the jewelry store.
1t didn't look right, and he banged the
door loudly.
"Hallol" cried the voice within. .is
it you, policeman?"
"Yes."
"All right. Won't you come in and
warm you? 1t won't hurt anything for
you to slip from your beat few min
utes."
The door opened and Policeman Bad
ger entered, and he found the inmate to
be very gentlemanly-man in linen
duster.
Come right up to the stove, police
man. Excuse me for a moment"
The man took the ash pan from the
bottom of the stove and carried it down
into the cellar and emptied it. and when
he had returned and wiped his hands, he
said with smile
A chilly night, isn't it?''
YES
Chilly outside and dull inside. An
other smile. New goods for the spring
trade. and have to keep our eyes open.
Lonesome work. this xatching all night;
but | manage to find bit of comfort in
this. Won't you join me in tip You'll

The man produced a black bottle and
tumbler.

ing wiped his lips and given his fingers
new warming. he left the store and re-
sumed his beat satisfied that all was

MEMORY AND RECOLLECTION.

1t may be taken as one ofthe common
est mental experiences Of most men, that
fact, and especially name, which
they endeaFor to remember. which es-
eapes from the determinate effort of rec
ollection. often suddenly jumps. as 1t
we're, into the recollection without effort,
after they have been thinking of other
matters Dr. Carpenter explains this
BY the theory that the part Of the brain
used IN storing up and reproducing past
impressions Is not the same part Of the
brain which Is engaged In the conscious
ness Of those impressions. or in the con-
sciousness of their reproduction and
that after the seat Of consciousness has
given up It's futile labor. the seat of
memory unconsciously continues its ae-
tiTitY, and Ehen it has uneonsciously
brought It's work 70 successful issue it
communicates the result to the seat Of
consciousness then. and not before, the
fart Is consciously remembered Upon
this We must remark that the conscious
effort to command the memory, without
guide or clew. is generally and singular
II unsuccessful In result The only way
to succeed in remembering some forgot
ten thing is to seek some clew. some
thread Of ideal association which may
lead US TO it. The direct, bald effort fails
for the simple reason that the attention
Is fxed upon the effort, and not upon
the idea sought Withdraw the effort
and The attention fixes upon the idea
The memory Of the thing was IN th'
brain, must have been there al the tine
/ or It could never again have been re

cells Of memory 70 the consciousness an

THE EARLY HISTORY.

Archaeological students viii doubtless
be much gratified with the opening of
two new fields of investigation-one in
southern Arizona, and the other in ILL.,
nois. About year ago the construction
of irrigating canals was commenced in
the Pueblo Viejo valley. lying on the
south Of the Gila river. While thus at
work, surveyors very UNEXPECTEDLY came
upon a chain of cities in ruins, in some
instances the walls being above the sur
face. An examination of the countless
tumaE in the vicinity revealed large
quantities of pottery, household utensils
and human bones, but no weapons of
war. Some of the hammers and axes
were Of . quality of stone harder than
many showed the elearest evidences Of the
Roman style of decoration. Pebbles of
ebony hue externally, but transparent
when held to the light, were scattered
about Various coDjectures we're formed
of the race Of people who built and in
habited these cities, as well as the cause
of the destruction. From the quantity
of human bones and the mass of charcoal
lying close to them, it is possible that
the cities were either destroyed by fire
or the places in question have been de-
voted to the purpose Of cremation. Some
have considered these remains as repre-
senting a semi-civilized tribe conquered
by Montezuma while others claim that
Mexico never produced specimens pot
terry similar to those of this place. The
second field is high table-land on Rock
river. Illinois. some six miles from Rock
ford city. Excavations were made IN
great mound, and at depth of nine
feet tablet of Niagara spar was found
with traced and beveled edges, and Sc
ries of eccentric carvings that probably
were designed to perpetuate some event
Six Of the figures correspond perfec'ly with
Iibyan characters, letters Of the oldest
African nations. Fourteen distinct iig-
ures may be traced on the tablet, includ-
ing those Of a well-formed fish, lizard,
and two serpents. As in Arizona,
quantity of bones and small pieces Of
rock exhibiting perfect fin-marks were
found near the tablet. This is the most
recent examination of the work of the
Mound-buiIders In the West; and as
further excavations are to be made, and
many theories concerning the early SET
tlement of Wisconsin. Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana. Mississippi and West Virginia
may be established thereby.
