Mr.. John H. Mullen died at his
home in Madison, Indiana, Wednes-
day at $50 pm, after a severe i'll
ness of several months. The de-

was the last steamer that he was the
clerk of. The deceased was about
thirty years of age.

of the shop-keeping GLASS know its

Man and donkey.

The wonderful resemblance of
some of the larger apes to human
creatures is especially remarkable
when they are suffering from i'll
ness, or from what, so great is their
intelligence, we must acknowledge
to be sorrow. An ape of no COM
mon merit having lately died in
the Geological Gardens at Dresden,
an account of its last moments has
been published, which is an extraor-
binary idea of thealmost human dig
nifty and pathos of its behavior on
the occasion. A few, weeks of the
destroying malady, says a sorrowing
friend, has been sufficient to change
this being, so full of life, strength,
courage-this magnificent prototype
of all quadrumania--into a speeta-
Gle of misery. The most complete
apathy had taken the place of
vivacity. Mafuka, as this interest
ing creature was called, appeared
to suffer under q dim consciousness
that she could expect no relief but
only the alleviation of her pans
from those around her. This state
of things lasted until within few
hours of her death. Then as Di-
rector Schopf (the director of the
gardens) leened over his favOrlte,
the ape drew him toward her, pIac-
ed her arm around the neck of her.
kind friend, and looked at him for
some time with clear and tranquil
eyes; she then kissed him three
times, with short intervals between
each salute, motioned to be laid up
On her couch, gave her hand to
Schopf-as though bidding farewell
to a companion of many happy years
-and slept never TO wake again.
Thus died the quasi-human Mafuka,
fortified not indeed by the rites of
the church, but those common to the
wider brotherhood of trusting and
affectionate hearts.-LOndO1s Echo.

Look after the EYes.

Mulitudes of men and women
have made their eyes weak for life
by the two free use of eyesight,
reading fine print and doing fine
sewing, In view of these things it
is well to observe the following
rules in the use of the eyes:
Avoid all sudden changes between
light and darkness.
Never read by twilight on a very
cloudy day.
Never sleep so that on waking the
eyes shall open on the light of the
window.
Do not use the eyesight by light
SO scant that it requires an effort to
discriminate.
Never read or sew directly in
front of the light of a window.
1t is best to have the light from
above, or obliquely, over the left
shoulder.
Two much light creates a glare and
pains and confuses the sight. The
moment you are sensible of an effort
to distinguish, that moment stop
and talk, walk or ride.
AS the sky is blue and the earth
is green, it would seem that the cell
ing should be blush tinge, the car
pet green, and the walls of some
mellow tint.
The moment you are instinctively
inclined to rub the eyes, that, mo-
momen cease to use them.
If the eyelids are glued together
on waking, do not forcibly open
them, but apply saliva with the fin
ger, and then wash the eyes and face
with warm water.

Gathering Pearls.

One afternoon, many years ago, a
pleasant faced man came into our
school room. We can remember but
little of his appearance, except the
sweet smile that played about
his lips, and that seemed to spread
out all over his face as he spoke
Our teacher requested him to talk
to us a little while. He complied,
and his words have been as treasur-
ed jewels ever since. This was his
speech:
"Would it not please you, dear
little ones, to pick up strings of
pearls, or drops of gold or diamonds
as you pass along the street. 1t
would make you happy, | know, to
do so. And you may do it; but you
ask me how. l will tell you. By
dropping sweet words, kind actions,
and pleasant smiles, as you pass
along. These are true pearls and
precious stones. Speak to that poor
orphan child; seel the diamond drops
from her cheekl Take the hand of
that friendless boy; bright pearls
flash from his eyes. Smile on the sad
and careworn; JOY suffuses the
cheek, more brilliant than the most
precious gems. Try it, dear children,

in Albany. She travelled abroad,
and in Rome she met Page. the ar

he had another wife living. She
deserted him after time for the
company of an Italian noblemans
who gave her a home that was a.
palace, and.lavished his wealth upon
her. Sweeney, travelling abroad.
met her and won her heart. They.
were married, aud she returned to-
this country with him, but she did
