The Ears of Wheat.

Ages upon ages ago, when the angels
used 10 wander on earth, the fruitful
ness of the ground was much greater
than now. Then the ears of wheat
bore, not fifty or siXty-fold, but four
times five hundred fold. Then the
corn grew from the bottom of the stalk
10 the top; and SO loDg as the stalk was,
so long were the ears. But as men al
ways do in the midst of their abun-
dance, they forgot the blessing which
came from God, and becsme idle and
selfish.
One day women went to a corn
field, and her little child who accom-
panied her fell into puddle and soiled
her frock. The mother tore off band
ful OF wheat ears and cleaned her
daughters dress with them. Just then
an angel passed by, and saw her. He
became very angry, and declared to her
that henceforth the Wheat-stalkss should
no longer produce ears, for, said he,
"You mortals are not worthy of heav-
EMS gifts" The bystanders who heard
him, fell on their knees, weeping, and
praying him to leave the wheat stalks
alone, if not for themselves, yet for the
poor fowls, who must otherwise perish
with hunger. The angel riiied their
distress, and granted part of their pray
ca; and from that day the ears OF wheat
have grown as they do now.

There's German who keeps a corner

from little boy the other night who
had been sent to get 81 bill changed.
The boy received the change and re-
turned home with it, when il was dis
covered that there was quarter which
was rather ragged, though good, in the
change, and also that the quarter was
just twenty-five cents more change
than the folks who sent the bin were
entitled to. The boy was sent back to

fractional was sent with him. Enter
ing The store and holding out the rag
ged money, the boy said:

A Detcctiye.s Blnnder.

The Virginia City (Nev.) Evening
Chronicle relates this incident: About
two months ago young lawyer of this
city and his newly acquired vile were
returning from visit to the bay
Wearied trifie with constant billing
and cooling, the young husband made
some feeble excuse or other and slipped
off to the smoking car to burn cigar
and think with sigh of the departed
bachelor days when he could spit out
of the window over his boot toes, with
with none to say, oh, please Steve,
dear, DON'T go s.
The bride, with rather an injured ex-
preston, was sitting in her palace car,
musing on the waning ardor of her
Stephen, when she suddenly discover
ed that she was the center of attraction
to the whole car. Two rough-looking
men were standing in the aisle, gazing
at her closely, and then referring to a
paper which one held in his hands,
Before the astonished and indignant
lady could collect her thoughts, one OF
the men took the vacant seat beside
her, and with knowing wink observ-
ed:
"A good get-up, Nancy, but it won't
do. You're copped dead to rights this
time, honey 4-
'Sirr gasped the frightened lady,
shrinking back into the furthest corner
by the big stick, said the man, ad.
miringly, Nance, you'd ought to q
gone on the stage. | never see any
thing better done. But it won't do
You've got to come back with US
Nance, an you stand a mighty good
chance of goin' over the bay for five al
shortest
Sir, what do you mean?" demanded
Mrs. -, thoroughly alarmed, and
starting to her feet. .Will no gentle
man protect me from the insults of thi:
fellow?'
Half dozen gentlemen sprang for
ward at this appeal.
Gentlemen said the men, just 'tenG
to your own business and I'll tend tC
mine. I've been hunting this bird fol
two months and more, an Pve got hel
at last. She puts on good deal OF
style, but if you've ever heard of Nance
Brown, one of the 'cutesG thieves OF
the coast, here she is. I'd have taken
her quietly, but if she wants to make q
row it's her own business. Pm Detec
tive -, and here's my warrant
'Oh, this is intolerable,' cried the
poor lady, bursting with indignation
and shame. Gentlemen, my husband
Mr.. -, is on the train. Go find him
for heavens saken
There presently appeared about the
wildest-looking lawyer outside OfStock
ton. The detectives grinned at the
vehement explanations ofthe husband
and the other officer warned him to be
quiet or he would arrest him for inter
iering. Fortunately there were sever
al Virginians on the train, and they al
once identified the lawyer as respect
able citizen, though, the marriage be
ing recent, they had not known the
lady.
| T.. The detectives were profuse in
their apologies, and got out of the cal
in double-quick- order, looking more
sheepish than any thief-takers have &
right to look, and swearing that it was
the strangest resemblance that they
had ever seen.

The Shreds.

Once upon time there was mai
den who was very pretty, but lazy and
careless When she used to spin, she
was SO impatient that, if there CHANGED
to be a little knot in the thread, she
snapped off long bit with it and
threw the pieces down on the ground
near her. Now, she had servant girl,
who was Industrious, and used to gath
er together the shreds of thread, clean
them, and weave them, till she made
herself a dress with them. And a
young man had fallen in. love with this
lazy maiden; and their weding-day was
appointed. On the evening before, the
industrious servant girl kept dancing
about in her fine dress, till the bride
exclaimed
"Ah. how the girl does jump about,
Dressed in my shreds and leavings,,
When the bridegroom heard this, he
asked the bride what she meant, and
she told him that the maid had work.
ed herself dress with the shreds OF
thread which she had thrown away.
AS soon as the bridegroom heard this,
and saw the difference between the la.
illness of his intended, and the industry
of her servant, he gave up the mistress,
and chose the maid for bis wife.

What God DEGREES, child of his love,
Take patiently, though it may prove
The storm that wrecks thy treasure here,
Be comforted thou needst not fear
What pleases God.
The wisest viii is Gods own will;
Rest on this anchor, and be still; .
For peace around thy path shall flow,
When only wishing here below
What pleases God.
The truest heart is Gods own heart,
Which bids thy grief and fear depart;
Protecting, guiding, day and night,
The soul that welcomes here Alright
What pleases God.
Oh! conld l sing, as 1 desire,
My grateful voice should never tire,
y To tell the wondrous love and power,
Thus working out, from hour to hour,
What pleases God.
The King of kings, He rules on earth,
He sends us sorrow here, or mirth,
He bears the ocean in His hand;
And thus we meet, on sea and land,
What pleases God.
His Church on earth He dearly loves,
Although He oft its sin reproves; s.
{ The rod itself, His love can seek, -
He smites till we return to speak
What pleases God.
Then let the crowd around thee seize
The joys that for season please, z
But willingly their paths forsake, -.--
And for thy blessed portion take
What pleases God.
Art thou despised by all around?
Do tribulations here abound?
Jesus will give the victory,
> Because his eye can see in thee
What pleases God: -
Thy heritage is safe in heaven:
There, shall the crown of joy be given;
There, shalt thou hear, and see, and know,
AS thou couldst never here below,
What pleases God ~

A LATE number of Complies Rendus
contains an account of experiments by
NJ. V. Feltz on the poisonous action of
Eutrefied blood. He found that in the
case of dogs experimental ON, into
whose crural vein he had injected blood
which had pdtref1ed and reached a
stage in which bacteria and allied or
ganisins disappeared, produced loss of
appetite, vomiting, bilious diarrhea,
and other bad symptoms. -Four out of
six died, but not until ten or twelve
days had elapsed. In another set of
experiments he employed the powder
of old putrefied and dried blood mixed
with water. Two out of three dogs
died, and. as in the former cases, their
blood showed septieemic- characters,
with reformation of the red corpuscles.
The bacteria, &c, present in these cases
appear to have developed from germs
that had survived the putrefaction and
desiccation.

ACCORDING to DR.. Hoffman,, fluid
called liquid parchment consisting
of gutta-percha softened and soaked in
ether, is especially adapted for forming
a coating for pictures and cards, as it
permits the removal of dirt with a
moist rag. Pencil and crayon draw
ings may be rendered ineffaceable by
sprinkling them with this liqnid by
means of an atomizer, an exceedingly
delicate film remaining after the eva
poratiOn of the ether.

BidcLfsh Killed By the Polar
U-Q1'P

Nobody knows the full extent cf the
mischief caused BY the Polar cold OF last
February. Among other things the black
fish suffered. Capt. Samuel p Cook, of
Tiverton. X. l., an old fisherman, esti-
mates that one thousand tons of tnutcg,
or blackfsh. persisted last winter between
Gay Head and Block Island. .and ascribe5
the present scarcity OF this fsh to the
intense cold at that time.
