It is good to respect ancient founda-

to neglect founding something in our
turn.
People say, sDO not regard what he
is saying now, he is in liquor. Per
haps this is the only time he ought to

1t is safer toafront some people than
to oblige them; for the better a man

intelligence Of the second generation,
when it has been softened down in the
habit Of knowing.
Half the sorrows of women would be
averted if they couldrepress the speech
they know to be useless the
speech they have resolved not to utter.
Education is better safeguard Of
liberty than a standing army. If We
retrench the wages of the schoolmaster
we must raise those of the recruiting
sergeant.
Heart and tongue must go together,
work and work; lip and life; prayer
and practice must echo to one another,
or else the prayers and thy soul will
be lost together.
Affections make a divorce between
the soul and SIN. 1t is not small

soul it must be the spirit Of burning

It was the saying of an old saint that
he was more afraid of his duties than
Of his sins; for the one made him
proud, the other always made him
humble.
Principles viii penetrate where the
oayonet of armed men cannot they

Fhirlwind and the storm.

Never Forget Anything.


A successful business man told me
there were two things which he learn
ed when he was eighteen, which were
afterwards of great use to him, namely,
@never to lose anything and never TO
forget anything" An old lawyer sent
him with an important .paper, with
certain instructions what to do with it.
'But," inquired the young man, Sup
pose | lose IL; what shall I do then p
The answer was with the utmost en-
phasis, 'Yeu must not lose itl'' II
don't mean to," J" said the young man,
"but suppose I should happen to Z"
"But you must not happen to I shall
make no provision for such an occur
renee; you must not lose itp This
put new train of thought into the
young mans mind, and he found that
if he was determined to do thing he
could do it. He made such provision
against every contingency that he
never lost anything. He found this
equally true about forgetting. If q
certain matter Of importance was to Be
remembered, he pinned it down on his
mind, fastened it there, and made it
stay. He used to say, "When man
tells me that he forgot to do something,
! tell him that he might as well have
said, 4 did notcare enough about your
business to take the trouble to think Of
it AGAIN. ~ I once had an intelligent
young man in my employment who
deemed it a sufficient excuse for neg
lecting any important task to say, "I
forgot itr' 1 told that would never
answer. If he was sufficiently inter
ested, he would be careful to remem-
Der. 1t was because he did not care
enough that he forgot. I drilled him
with this truth. He worked for me
three years and during the last Of the
three he was utterly changed in this
respect He did not forget a thing.
His forgetting he found, was lazy,
careless habit of the mind, which he
cured.

A New skrN.-A bow NAMED Frar

A New sKN.-A boynamed Frank
Hanafn, who had been injured in a
saw-mill the other day was supplied
with a new skin by taking pieces from
the arms of eight or nine other boys.
In the accident very large wound
was made on his back, the surface be-
ing one mass of quivering flesh, though
healthy in appearance. The wound,
Of course, was very sensitive, and the
operation must have been quite painful
to him. Drs. Picot and Maynard and
an assistant performed the operation.
Around the bed were gathered six or
eight Irish boys, from 8 to Is years of
age, from whose arms had been taken,
or was to be taken, the skin needed to
replace that which was lost. As each
was called on by the doctor, he came
forward and barred his arm, a small
piece of skin was skillfally cut out with
the lancet and gently placed upon the
raw flesh. About thirty pieces in all
were put on. Several Of the boys gave
up more than one piece, and FoIger
Picot, the doctors son, contributed
eight pieces. A younger brother of
Hanafn's gave nearly as many. While
the operation was going on the boys
joked among themselves on helping to
make up Hanafn, and bantered each
other on the number of times they had
submitted to be cut for the benefit of
their playmate The hnva were ran-
orally very willing to give the skin re-
quired, but after while thay evident
ly began to think that enough was as
good as feast, and moved out of doors,
watching further operations through
the window. It is thought, however,
enough viii consent to give skin, so
that Hanafn's wound viii be entirely
covered over, thus Fastening his recov-
cry and adding to his comfort when
the wound shall have healed.-Auburn

The Fastest TIME YET-There
was only one stop IN the III miles that
separates st. Thomas from Amherst
burg, on the Canada Southern railroad.
The engineer, Macomber, was sur
rounded by an admiring throng, and
passengers and railroaders commented
on the handsome appearance ofhis iron
steed. The steam gauge just before
starting showed a pressure Of eighty
FIVE pounds, a moderate figure for a
locomotive. Conductor Crawford sang
out "All aboard r and the special
train with Bishop Borgess. on board
pulled out from St. Thomas at 5.27 P.

form signaled the departure. Once
the bridge was cleared Macomber .'let

as if swept by hurricane, and the tall
and gaudy yellow cOxcombs that grew
beside the fences bent to the ground in
a seemingly oyerpowering desire toget
loose from the earth and follow the
train. The dust from newly
ballasted portions of the track and the
chips and leaves rose up freely against
the force of gravitatiOn, and whirled
and gyrated like vapory clouds in a
tempest. A thin line ofsmoke stretched
interminably IN the distance. The i'm

mence with which it rushed forward

nature some seconds to overcome, and

The Causes of dyspepsia.


DR.. H. V. Redfeld, who has been
travelling through the South. says
"a physician in north Alabama hav-
ing a large practise in the rural dis
tricts, and of necessity stopping among
his patients, tells us that nineteen out
of twenty Of the meals he sits down to
are of fried meat and hot bread. Yet
dyspepsia does not follow to the extent
one would suppose. He thinks they
escape the disease, which such diet
would seem to invite, by the outdoor
life they lead. This physician says
that dyspepsia would be an unknown
disease in the Southern States, if it
were not for hot cakes and the frying
pan. Army life during the war cured
more dyspeptics than bullets killed. ]
asked this physician why it was that
in the Eastern States, where hot bread
was almost unknown, dyspepsia was
even more prevalent than in the South
ern States. He said it was pie and
cake which played the mischief in that
quarter. Pie and cake worked the
same injury to the stomachs of the
Eastern people that hot bread and the
frying pan did for the southerners. If
anything, it was worse. He thought
he would rather risk his digestion upon
Southern biscuit than on New England
pie. The pie was the greater curse
and annually killed more people by
slowly breaking down their digestive
powers.

Be ENcoURAeED.-Do not be easily
discouraged; remember the old story
of the thirsty crow, that few with joy
to pitcher he saw at a distance BHt
when he came up to it, he found the
water so low that, with all his stoop-
ing and straining, he was unable to
reach it. Thereupon he tried to break
the pitcher, then to overturn it but his
strength was insufficient to do either.
At last, seeing some small pebbles at
hand, he dropped great many of
them, one by one into the pitcher, and
so raised the water to the brim and
quenched his thirst. Skill and patti
ence will succeed where force fails;
necessity is the mother of invention.
