Some One to Play With.

A little girl who lived alone with her
parents and aunts, had the attention of
all the household lavished upon her.
When her birthday came around, she had
many beautiful gifts, but still did not
seem happy. Her kind aunt asked her if
her gifts did not please her.
YES" she replied, "but want a little
girl to play with. l don't care if it is a
little girl in rags"
Such is the craving of child's nature
for mpanionship. About the oldest
playmates ever heard of were some a
little girl in apleasant country home
picked up for herself in her rambles.
She went every day to little grove some
distance from the house, and there spent
considerable time in play. A friend took
an interest in her movements, and had a
curiosity to see how she spent her time,
which seemed to pass so pleasantly.
SO she followed the little, well-worn
foot-path through the grass, and soon
saw the glimmer of her little pink dress.
She was seated upon log with shawl
pinned about her waist for trailing
skirt, playing the part of school mis-.
tress with great gravity. You would have
laughed to see her scholars. They were
seven or eight fat toads, each dressed in
little jacket Of calico, with white
apron tied on before, which so secured
them that they could not jump. The
friend laughed at the odd sight, and the
sensitive little girl began to cry, but was
treasured by her conversation. The toads
were perfectly tame and contented, and
when school was out she took of their
clothes and laid them away in box
ready for the next session.
1t is said that toads, snakes and tur-
ties can be easily tanned, and after get
ting little accustomed to it like to be
played with as we'll as other more COM
mon pets.
All the inanimate playthings you can
give child will never make up to it the
want of a living playmate. Choose your
chitdren's associates with the greatest
care, but do not isolate them from all
children of their own age. Children so
carefully secluded are often the most I'M
comfortable, teazing ones you can find
no comfort to you or to themselves; nor
do they grow up so much better than
other peoples children who have had the
advantage of little wholesome neglect.

OF the intruders, and desperate running
fight was kept up for twelve miles down
the river. This was the last but one of
thirty-two separate attacks made upon
the expedition, after leaving Nyangwe.
Of the force of $50 men with which Stan
ley left Zanzibar, in November, 1874, 115
survivors, in miserable state of exhaus-
ton, arrived with him at EmbOma. His
greatest loss was that of his only English
assistant, Francis Pocock, who was car
ried over one of the cataracts of the Con-
go on the Sd of June last. A special for
tune seems to have attended the explorer,
for his own boat, the Lady Alice, with
himself and crew, was carried over an
other cataract, six weeks later. all escap-
ing as by miracle. From Emboma there
is easy communication with St. Paul de
Loanda,a and Stanley may, therefore, reach
England in another month.
The exploration, it will be seen, begin
ming at the point where Livingstone and
Cameron were interrupted, determines
the entire course of the Congo river. But
farther, through the great curve of that
river beyond the Equator, it carries our
line of knowledge over nearly half the
UNEMPLOYED region of Central Africa.
Even if there are no great northern atf1u-
ents of the Congo, as there are southern,
we may consider it as now nearly estab-
lished as settled facts, that the largest
feeders of the Victoria N'yanza are the
sole sources of the Nile; that the river
Welle, Of Schweinfurth, belongs either to
the Schary, which flows into Lake Tsad,
or the Benue, which is the main arm of
the Niger; that the Ogowe, at present the
favorite field of French explorers, has no
important region of its own; in short, that
no other large river-system will be found
in the yet unknown region lying between
the systems of the Nile, the Niger and
Congo. The results of Mr.. Stanley's dis
coveries thus extend widely beyond their
field. His good fortune has been COM
mensurate with his daring and endurance
and the two journals which equipped him
so literally for the great venture are re.
warded by contribution to geographical
knowledge which has never been equalled
by any single journey of exploration.
When we take Stanley's new route from
Zanzibar Cor, at least from Ugogo) to the
Victoria Lake, including his discovery
of the Shimeyu river; bis complete cir
cumnavigation of the lake; his examina-
ton of the southern end of the, Albert
Lake; his journey from Karagwe to Ujiji
on a new route his repetition of the COM
plete survey of Lake Tanganyika; and,
finally, his marvellous descent of the Lu-
alaba- Congo to the Western Ocean, we
must admit that it stands alone, in va
riety and importance of achievement, in
the records of American travel.-N. Y

JUST after the strike, when Solomon
closed the discussion by telling the slug
gard to go to the ant, the sluggard replied
with knowing wink--that he had a
much softer thing than that.
"As howl" inquired the proverbial
monarch.
II will start savings bank" replied
the man of inertia.
The monarch nodded slowly twice or
thrice, and went away to get shaved.
The next time he met the sluggard, that
deliberate individual was riding in gold
mounted carriage, with coachman and
footman in livery, and in reply to the
monsrch's nod he just pulled up to say
that he was going over to Europe for a
little while, till the furry blew over.
And Solomon went back into his sane
tum and wrote, "Better is handful with
quictness than q bank book as big - q
Bible with travail and vexation Of spirit"

A Wayside Flower.
BY ROSE GERANluM.

On the brink of the dusty highway
1t stood and blossomed alone;
1t drank still dew in the darkness
Its root grew under a stone.
Brave was its heart at morning,
And patient in MONDAY heat
While coming and going, going,
Forever went busy feet.
And some bore burdens of sorrow,
And some were weary with pain,
And others kept happy rhythm
To many a glad refrain,
Not large was its gift 10 offer,
Yet gladly the weary while
1t gave to the high and Lowry
Alike of its ala smile.
And many a sad heart blessed il,
And never voice could chide,
Till frost from dreary heaven
Fell over it and it died.

Extraordinary Antics Of Mars Moons.

The discovery recently of still third
moon of Mars gives additional interest
to the calculations of Professor James c..
Watson, in regard to this whole subject.
The outer satellite revolves around the
planet in thirty hours and twelve min
utes, at a mean distance of IA ,420 miles
from it's center The inner one revOlves
in seven hours and thirty-eight minutes,
at mean distance of only 5,77O miles.
The only way in which to form an esti-
mate of their size is to compare their
light with that of the planet itself, or
with that of some other body whose
dimensions are known.
Comparing thus, Professor Watson con-
cludes that the probable diameter of the
outer satellite is four and a-half miles,
and that of the inner is two and three
quarters miles. The distance of the for
mer from the surface of the planet is 49,
$40 miles and of the latter $40 miles.
Mr.. Jacob Ennis says that the inner
moon every night rises in the west and
sets in the east. All night long, while
the other stars are moving slowly west
ward, as do ours, that inner moon hastens
rapidly past them all in a contrary direc-
tion-so rapidly that from rising to set
ting it occupies less than four hours.
Standing under tall tree person could
see its motion plainly over the top. When
it rises in the west, soon after twilight,
it appears as very thin, curved cres-
cent, like our own when only few days
old. But 1t will grow rapidly, become a
full moon, and set in the east before mid
night. Before morning it will rise in the
west again. There may be two new moons
or two full moons visible to the same peo-
pie in one night, all made by the inner
satellite, without saying anything of the
outer. It must make around the entire
planet three full moons every day. The
inner moon must be totally eclipsed three
times day.
The outer satellite performs its revolu-
tions around Mars once in thirty hours
and fourteen minutes; therefore it will
go round nearly as fast as the planet ro-
tates, and in the same direction as the
planet. If it appears in the west just
after twilight as thin crescent it will be
full moon some time during the middle
hours of the night and become totally
eclipsed. Before daybreak it will be far
in the east, thin crescent again, but
with this difference--now its rounded
side is turned eastwardly towards the
sun, whereas in the evening its rounded
side was turned westerly towards the sun.
The inner moon passes the outer one very
rapidly in their ceaseless play. The in
ner may then be called the swift moon,
or it may be called the lower moon,
and the outer the higher moon, for
when they are near the one will always
appear above the other. To the inhabi-
tants on the equator the upper will some
times be hidden by the lower, if the lower
be large enough.

Influence of the Mind on the Cure Of
Disease.

The great influence of mental emotions
in causing and curing disease has long
beenknown. Indeed, many of the mira
attributed by the irreverent and the
shrewd to the faith of the patient rather
than to the virtue of the formers sancti-
ty, or the latter's nostrums. Cures of
diseases Of the spine and also those of a
nervous nature, said to have been wrought
by blue glass, and similar humbugs, may
be safely assigned to the same cause.
From experiment and study, an eminent
physician was lately able to make the fol-
lowing suggestions:
l. The ill-success of patients treating
themselves, and of physicians treating
their own families, was partly due to the
want of awe and emotion Of wonder to
cooperate with them.
2. The old custom of keeping patients
ignorant of the contents of prescriptions,
by writing them in Latin, had knowl-
edge of the mind on its side. Possibly
we may be going too far the other way.
3. 1t is entirely possible that hydro
phobia and lockjaw may be brought on,
with all their distinctive symptoms, and
that death may result, through the emo
tons of fear and expectation alone.
L. Patients whose will and intellect
are feeble, have bad prospect Of cure;
for with them the emotions are not strong
aud neither is their influence.
8. Physicians of great scientific attain
ment and real worth may fail when an
ignorant and obscure charlatan succeeds;
because in the latter case, wonder and
awe are excited, and these are more pow
erful in their healing influence than sim
pie respect.
6. In experimenting in hospitals with
new medicines, patients must be de-
ceived, or else the results are complicated
by mental influence. DIR. II.

DR.. REGINALD SoUTHEY has recently
been delivering course of valuable lee
lures on "Individual Hygiene" in Lon
don, and in one he introduced table of
Expectation of Sickness" which he had
prepared, and which is as follows: Al
twenty years of age calculate on four
sick days yearly; at twenty to thirty, five
or six days; at forty-five, seven days; at
fifty, nine or ten days; at fifty five, twelve
or thirteen days; at sixty, sixteen days;
at sixty five, thirty one days; at seventy,
seventy-four days. OF course this refers
to people of average good health. and
not to those who may be afflicted wi'h:.an
ineradicable or chronic ailment.

young lady started the rather bold con-
tention that the principles of Mormonism
should for the future be reversed. "Times,"
she said, "are 90 bad, and fashions are 80
expensive, that 1t 10 absurd for one man
to have four or five wives; whereas, il
each woman had four or five husbands,

THE CONFEDERATE FLAG.-During our
civil war, the several seeded States used
at first distinctive State flags. In March,
1861, the Confederate Congress adopted
the so-called ''stars and bars" composed
of three horizontal bars of equal width,
the middle one white, the others red,
with blue union containing nine white
stars arranged in acircle. The resemblance
of this to the ''stars and stripes" led to con-
fusion in and mistakes the field; and in
1851 "a battle flag was adopted,
a red field charged with blue saltier,
