Lacustrine Dwellings I'm Ger.
many.

The remains of ancient habitationS
raised on poles are of rare occurrence in
Germany, and hence the discovery last
year of the debris of such structures in
the bed of the river Elster, near Leipsic,
awakened a lively interest. The dis
covery was made by Herr Jentzch, of
the Geological Institute of Austria.
The order of the visible strata at this
point is as follows: At the base is found
a layer of sandstone, on this a lacuS-
trine clay. Both of these belong to the
upper portions of the quarternary rock.
In the clay are two beds containing the
remains of plants, and among these are
found leaves of the willow and oak,
fruit of the Acer, and sundry other veg
etal fragments. Above these occurs a
layer of roots some inches in depth,
which shows that the surface of the soil
remained at this level for considerable
period. The uppermost layer, two to
three metres thick, was produced by an
inundation. The piles discovered by
JentZsch in the bed of the Elster are set
in the clay and covered over with this
silt. They are arranged in circles, with
iHtlI lONtl tiiuS Poiutcu, anu tuci
upper extremities connected by horizon
tai ties of oak. Among the animal re-
mains found here are the lower jaw of
an OK, with its teeth, stags' heads, the
long bones of some mammal yet unde-
termined, and shells of the unio and
dno,da. No traces of human remains
have been found, though fragments of
pottery and charcoal are met with; also,
two stone hatchetS.

To be Carried In Your Pocket

Keep good company or none. Never
be idle. If your hand cannot be use.
fully employed, attend to the cultivation
of your mind. Always speak the truth.
Make few promises. Live up to your
engagements. Keep your own secrets,
if you have any. When you speak to a
person look him in the face. Good
company and good conversation are the
very sinews of virtue. Good character
is above all things else. Your character
cannot be essentially injured, except by
your own acts, If any one speaks evil
of you, let your life be such that no one
will believe him. Drink no kind of
intoxicating liquors. Ever live (mis-
fortune excepted) within your income.
When you retire to bed, think over what
you have been doing during the day.
Make no haste to be rich, if you would
prosper. Small and steady gains give
competency, with tranquility of mind.
Never play at any game OF chance
Avoid temptation through the fear you
may not withstand it. Earn money
before you spend it. Never run into
debt unless you can see your way to get
out of it. Never borrow if you can pos
sibly avoid it. Do not marry until you
are able to support wife. Never speak
evil of any one. Be just before you are
generous. Keep yourself innocent, if
you would be happy. Save when you
are young, that you may spend when
you are old. Read over the above
maxims at least once q week.

Keep the Children Warm.

DR.. Brown-Sequard, in lecture at
Boston the other night, said: The
application OF heat to children is ex-
ceedingly useful to help their develop
ment. If the air they breathe is cool,
and heat is applied to their limbs, but
not so much to the body, they certainly
grow faster. There is no question that
in northern climes, children who are
not well clad, and are not well cared
for, in regard to the heat surrounding
their body, do not grow so well as child
rem who are submitted to the influence
of heat. There is one thing which in
this country especially is most hurtful
and dangerous, and that is heat applied
to the lungs. 1t is perfectly well known
that the mortality of children in this
country is enormous in the summer
months, and that chiefly through the in
fiuence of heat on the lungs and on the
belly. Digestion and respiration are
disturbed, and death comes, as yon know
too frequently. More care could easily
be obtained in that respect"

Power Of Prejudice.

A gentleman was one day stoutly
asserting that there were no gold fields
except in Mexico and Peru A nugget
dug up in California, was presented to
him as evidence against his positive
assertion. He was not in the least dis
concerted. "This metal, sir, own, Is
extremely like gold; and, you tell me,
that it passes as such in the market,
having been declared by the assayers to
be indistinguishable from the precious
metal. All this l will not dispute.
Nevertheless, the metal is not gold, but
auruminiuna;; it cannot be egold, because
gold comes only from Mexico and
Peru" In vain was he informed that
the geological formation was similar in
California and Peru, and the metals
similar; he had fixed fn his mind the
conclusion that gold existed only in
Mexico and Peru; this was law of ma
ture-he had no reason to give why 1t
should be so, but such had been tine
admitted fact for many years, and from
it he could not swerve.

Memory OfFaces.

When a man has the painters faculty
OF recollecting faces, and with it quick
and retentive memory of small facts,
the combination gives him great social
power. This was Macaulay's case. He
never forgot the face of a man whom
he had met in society, and with the face
he remembered all the salient facts
connected with the owner of Il. Few
things are more fiattering to an ordi-
nary mortal than being thoroughly re-
membered by a great lion with whom
he has perhaps had brief interview
several years before. 1 doubt if this
faculty exists to any great extent among
our public men; indeed, have often
been surprised at the absence of it. A
Russian baron of the true divine-right
school once maintained to me that this
was an effect of republican institutions,
or, what came to the same thing, that
the opposite was the result of monar-
chicai institutions. He said that king
and princes were obliged to see great
many persons, wherefore Providence
had conferred on them various means
of being gracious to those persons, Of
which prompt recognition was one.-

Ancient AghpuiauS.

The Athenians of old were light and
tickle people, constantly seeking after
new things, and soon tired of the old,
and much disposed to make novelty, the
standard of merit. A winning cause, in
their eyes, seemed generally a just
cause which very highly commended
itself to Athenian favor. And this was
never more the case than at the time
when the power of Philip seemed broad
ening to imperial dimensions, and all
efforts to check him vain. So we can
easily imagine how strong a feeling
there was at Athens. after the defeat of
Charonea, in favor of abandoning dead
issues, overcoming all prejudices, and
learning that broad national patriotism
which, tiinging to the winds the trsdi-
tions and sentiments of the past, would
merge Athenian, Theban. Spartan au-
tonomy into one grand Greek empire.
But though neither patriotism, pride,
love OF liberty, nor wisdom wss
left to the Athenians, one virtue
they still had-reverence for their
forefathers and love for their
memory. And they had, more
over, among them one man in whose
breast the flame of true patriotism and
love of liberty burned as brightly as it
ever had done in the days of Miltiades;
and he dared, in words that have echoed
down to our own times, to tell his coun-
trymen the truth. BE told them that
success was no measure of justice; that
there was something greater than sue
cess, and that was Duty. He told them
that they had done right in fighting for
their freedom, though their dead COW
cred the fatal field of Charonea, and
the shadow of the Macedonian sarissa
already lay black over the Acropolis.
No." cried he, in that fiery burst that
thrills us to this day, "you did not err
you did NOT err, Athenians, in taking
this great hazard for the liberty of your
coun,ry-no. I s,oear it by those who
fell at Marathon ?"

Burning the Dead.

The sentiment in favor OF burning
the dead seems to be growing IN Eu-
rope. A society has been formed at
Hamburg. the members of which are
pledged to dispose of deceased mem.
bers in this manner. Another in Zu-
rich. called La Societe de la Mort, has
a similar object, The distinguished
surgeon, Sir Henry Thompson, in late
number of the Contemporary ReuteW,
discusses with force, clearness and
spirit, the question of cremation OF the
dead.
The British Medical Journal suggests
the formation of Society of Increma-
tors" to carry out his ideas, and adds
in support of the notion, 'If few hun
dred men of notable character, ability
and responsibility, were to agree to
commit their bodies to the flames after
deatk. and make suitable arrangements,
they might probably soon be initiated
by many more thousands. and so the
foul practice of committing rottlng
body to the ground, there to poison the
soil which it encumbers, would be re.
placed by the more reasonable and
cleanly reduction of the body to ashes
by the speedy agency of the flame.

The WRES's REoUIEM.-It was on q
morning early in the spring, few years
ago, that we heard an unusual twitter-
ing outside our bedroom window, above
which is deep thatch. On looking up,
we saw two curious festoons hanging
from it, apparently in motion. 1t was,
in fact, two half circles, composed OF
little wrens clinging to each other by
foot and wing, to the number of twenty
or thirty. They clung together thus
for the space of about two minutes. 1t
might be more or less for as We did
not mark the time by a watch, [ could
not with certainty say now. They twit-
tered mournfully all the while, so diff
ferent to their usual joyous little song,
then suddenly, as if by one consent,
they in a moment broke loose and flew
away. On descending shortly after
ward we found dead wren lying just
under the window over which these
festoons or wrens had been hanging a
few minutes before. 1t looked as if
these affectionate little creatures had
been singing a dirge over their dead
friend below-at least we could think of
no physical cause for the unusual ap-
pearance. From that time the wrens
deserted that locality for more than two
years. On speaking of this to one who
had made natural history his study, he
told me it was called the '-Wren's re-
quiem," and was an established fact,
though very rarely seen, Possibly some
one OF our older readers may be able to
throw light on the subject.
