and the nights are SO short that some

on the poor ''tillers of the soil but we
don't see how it can be helped. Then
again, the lengthening days remind us
that our session is drawing to close
and we must soon prepare Tor trip to
our "Faderland'-not the "Deutcher

SNowBALmNG FARMERS. -"Snowball-
ING farmers" said Bijah, the officers of
the Detroit police court, as he handed
out a small boy.
"Bub," said the court, after long
look over the desk, suppose you had
killed an honest, hard-working farmer
by hitting him with a snowball!"
Il wont never do it again said the
boy.
"Suppose, my son, you had killed
him and his body hac been taken to
the morgue, and word of the terrible
affliction sent to his family. Imagine,
Bub, the terrible griefot his gray haired
partner, the tears and sobs of his child

around stove hearth. They are wait

GAMBLING.

No passion can lead 10 such cxtrcmi-
ties, nor involve n man in such a com
Dlcated train OF crimes and vices, and
ruin whole families so completely, rs
the baneful rage for gambling. il pro-
duccs and uourishes all imaginable dis
graceful sensations; it is the most fer
tile nursery of covetousness, envy, rage,
malice, dissilnulstion, falsebood, aud
foolish reliance on Llind fortune; il frc-
quently leads TO fraud, quarreIs, murder.
forgery, meanness, aud despair; md
robs us in the most objectionable man
ner ofrhe greatest and most irrecoycra-
bic treasure-iime. Those that are rich
act foolishly in vcnturing their money
in uncertain speculation; and those that
have not much 10 risk, must play with
timidily. and cannot long continue play
unless the fortune Of the game turn, rs
being obliged to quit the field at the
first heavy blow; or II they stake every.
thing TO force the blind goddess to smile
upon them at last, nadIy hazard their
being reduced TO instant bcggAry. The
gambler but rarely dies rich man;
those that have had the good fortune
to realize some property in this miscis-
ble way, and continue playing, are
guilty OF a twofJlJ folly. Trust no per-
son of that description, Of whatever
rank or character he may be.

A Beautiful Incident.

On beautiful summers day, clergy
man was called to preach in a town in
Indiana to young Episcopalian con-
gregation. At the close ofhis dis
course, he addressed his young hearers
in such words as these:
Learn that the present life is a pre-,
paration for. and has a tendency to
eternity. The present is linked to the
future throughout creatiou, in the veg
etable, in the Animal, and in the moral
world. As is the seed, so is the fruit;
as is the egg, so is the fowl, as is the
boy. so is the man; and as is the ration
al being in this world, so will he he in
the next: Dives estranged from God
in the next: and Enoch walking with
God here, is Enoch walking with God
in calm and better world. l beseech
you, live, then, for blessed eternity.
Go to the worm you tread upon, and
learn a lesson of wisdom. The very
caterpiller seeks the food that fosters it
for another and similar state, and, more
wisely than man, builds its own sepul-
cher, from whence, in time, by a kind
of resurrection it comes forth in q new
creature in almost angelic form. And
now that which crawled flies, and that
which fed on comparatively gross food,
sips the dew that revels in the rich pas
lures an emblem of that paradise where
flows the river of life. and grows the
tree of life Could the caterpiller have
been diverted from its proper element
and mode of life, if it had never attained
the butterhys splendid form and hue it
had persisted a worthless worm. Con-
slider her ways and be wise. Let it not
be said that We are more negligent than
worms, and that your reason is less
available than their instinct. As often
as the butterfly fits across your path,
remember that it whispers in its flight,
olive for the future"
With this the preacher closed his dis
course; but to deepen the impression, a
butterfly, directed by the hand which
guides alike the sun and an atom in
its course, futtered through the church,
as if commissioned by heaven to repeat
the exhortation. There was neither
speech nor language, but IFS voice was
heard saying to the gazing audience,
Give for the future"

MAcAULAY's MoTHER.-Lord Macau-
lay, the great essayist and historian,
wrote these words: "Children, look
into those eyes, listen to that dear voice,
notice the feeling of even a single touch
that is bestowed upon you by that gen
tie hand! Make much of it while'yet
you have that most precious of all good
eifts-a loving mother Read the un-
fathomable love of those eyes; the kind
anxiety of that tone and look, however
slight your pain. In after life you may
have friends-fond, dear, kind friends;
but never will you have again the mex
pressible love and gentleness lavished
upon you which none but mother be-
slows. Often do l sigh in my struggle
with the hard, upcaring world, for the
sweet, deep security l felt when of an
evening, nestled in her bosom, listen
ed to some quite tale, suitable to my
age, read in her tender and untiring
voice. Never can forget her sweet
glances cast upon me when l appeared
asleep; never her kiss of peace at night.
Years have passed away since we laid
her beside my father in the old church
yard; yet still her voice whispers from
the grave, and her eye watches over me
as l visit spots long since hallowed to
the memory of my mother.

BRIGHAM YouNG's OLD AGE.-Age
and persecution are gradually souring
the mild and gentle temper Of Brigham
Young, of Salt Lake City. Instead of
mellowing it, they are running it. Ad-
versity is not soitcning his views of life,
nor reducing the asperity of his Ian
suagc. Perhaps it is Ann Eliza who
has done this: perhaps it is the ladies
of the harcm. According to the Salt
Lake Tribune, a disagreeable scene oc-
Cured not long since. One of the
prophets sons, President Of the order
Enoch, and a vagabond Of spendthriit
reputation, ran short Of money and
called on the old gentleman to give him
some. Brigham referred young hope
full to George a. Smith, trustee in trust
of the church. St.lith<gave the younger
Young piece Of mind, called him
spendthrift, s1uanderer, a vagabond,
and wound up by telling him that the
treasury of Jesus Christ would never
furnish him penny. According to
the Tribune, Brigham threw his hat in
Smiths face. Take that d-n you, said
the prophet, things have come to a
pretty pass when my sons cannot get
the money / earned The hat was
restored to him and the old gentleman's
ire was soothed with check given to
the young young one. The same paper
charges Brigham with confning his
aged wife, his only lawful one, in an old
school-house behind the seraglio, and
slowly starving her to death. Take it
altogether, Mr. Young must be getting
to be very disagreeable sort of a
prophet

The Knot Of Blue and Gray.

Upon nv bosom lies
A knot of blue and gray;
You ask me why. Tears fill my eyes
As low to you | say:
! had two brothers once
Warm-hearted, bold and gay;
They left my side-one wore the blue
The other wore the gray.
One rode with Stonewall and his men,
And joined his fate to Lee;
The other followed Sherman's march
Triumphant to the sea.
Both fought for what they deemed the
right,
And died with sword in hand;
One sleeps amid Virginia's hills,
And one in Georgia's sand.
The same sun shines upon their graves
Ny love unchanged must stay;
And so upon my bosom lies,
The knot of blue and gray.

SANDER is a poison which extinguish-

infinite number of souls. since it Kills
