PARAGRAPHS OF THE PERIOD.


To do business man must have
dollars and sense.
One of the darkest moments IN
boys life is when he suddenly reflects
that he has just swallowed dose OF
castor oil unconditionally.
If, in instructing child, you are
vexed with it for want of adroitness,
try, if you have never tried before, to
write with you left hand, and then re-
member that child is all left hand.
It is estimated that the child popula-
tion between the age of six and sixteen
| in the United States and Territories IS
about lO, , ,2SS, 900, and that about 3O0,-
600 teachers are needed to educate this
host of future citizens.
A Louisville girl was shot in the
foot a day or two ago, and the doctors
are now engaged in mining for the
ball. One of them has worked his
passage into the foot for so great dis
lance that they are Obliged to let his
provisions down to him by a rope.
Many very good people are annoyed
by sleepiness in church. The follow
ing remedy is recommended: Lift
the foot seven inches from the fioor,
and hold it in suspense without sup
port for the limb, and repeat the REM
edy if the attack returns.
II is estimated that the yield of
gold and silver from the mines OF
Colorado Territory for the first six
months of the present year foot up IN
gold 81 ,O52, ,709, and silver 81 ,oO4,-
139. This is not supposed to include
the products of the placer mines OF
the territory for that period.
Either a man must be content
with poverty all his life, or else be
willing to deny himself some luxurics
and save, to lay the base Of llidepcnd-
ence in the future. But if man
defes the future, and spends all he
earns whether his earnings he one
dollar or ten dollars every day)let him
look for lean and hungry want at some
future time-for it will surely come, no
matter what he thinks. La
THE SoLACE OF AGE
| Howe'er DER youths mclouded sky
The mists OF grief may fall,
And lift to HEAVIER, the pleading eye
And prayers impfoIing call a
BE sure that ripper age will bring
Occasions few nor brief,
| When mercy y's'oveFxhading wing ~
| Must send thee sweet relief.
BE sure that when the hair grows gray,
And youth seems dim and far,
And that long rest beyond the way
Cleans like a welcome star
Be sure that then the boon ot prayer y
| Most shows its priceless worth
A blessed guard against despair,
A link tween heaven and earth.
When Mother Eve the tempting fruit
Plucked for her only kin, M
She then and there did institute
A precedent for sin. f-s
She Knew the apple tasted sweet,
But thought not of its price,
And said to Adam, "Let us eat;
It's naughty, but it's nice"
For several years past an Italian &C.
ologist has made a study of the trem-
blings or quakings of the earth, and
more especially those which are 80 ex-
tremely light as not to be perceptible
save BY pendulums placed in the fields
Of microscopes. In one year he recog-
pized between s, 900 and I, 700 of these
movements; and graphically represent
ing the same over many years by a
curve, he finds that the line CORE
spends neither with the thermometric
curve nor with the tidal phenomena,
nor can il be brought into any relation
with the distances or positions of the
sun or moon. With the barometric
curve, however, il is otherwise, and it
appears that, in the large majority of
the cases, the intensity Of the move
ments augmented with the lowering Of
the barometric column, ms if--as the
Investigator states---the gaseous masses
imprisoned in the superficial layers OF
the earth escaped more easily when the
weight Of the atmosphere diminished,
which certainly is an interesting fact.
