WHAT KILLS.

In the school, as in the world, far
more rust out than wear out. Study
is most tedious and wearisome to those
who study least. Drones always have
the toughest time. Grumblers make
poor scholars. and their lessons are u.
niformly "nard" and "too long," The
time and thought expended in Sinking
would be ample to master their tasks.
Sloth. gormandizing and worry kill
their thousands, where overstudy harms
one. The curse of heaven rests on
laziness and gluttony. BY the very
constitution OF our being they are fitted
TO beget that torpor and despondency
which chill the blood, deaden the nerves,
enfeeble the muscles, and derange the
whole vital machinery. Fretting, fidget-
ing, ennui and anxiety are among the
most common causes of disease. On
the other hand, high aspiration and en-
thusiasm help digestion and respiration,
and send an increased supply OF vital
energy to all parts Of the body. Cour.
age and work invigorate the whole sys.
TEN, and lift one into purer atmos.
phere, above the reach Of contagion.
The lazy groan most over their "ardu :
Gus duties" while earnest workers talk
little about the exhausting labors of
their profession. OF all creatures, the
sloth would seem to be the most wor.
ried and worn.

TIE CoNTAGroN OF Typu,-s Frvrp

TIE CoNTAGIoN OF TYruUs FEVER.
Aberdeen. Scotland, has lately been
suffering from an outbreak OF genuine
typhus fever. In the Industrial School
forty girls were attacked, OF whom Eve
died. One Of the girls, taking advan-
tase of the confusion, ran away and
took refuge with her parents. Ignorant
or carless of results. they kept her with
out allowing her whereabouts to he
known, the result be ing that the girl
herself died. Her father caught the
disease from her and diod also; her mo
Their likewise caught the same disease
and, being nurse in the poor house, i'm
troduced it there, six OF the inmates be.
ing nearly simultaneously attacked, o.
whom two have since died.

A Short Study for Boys.

The life Of Charles O'Connor, the EN-.
inncnt lawyer, shows what diligence and
perseverance will accomplish.
When eight years old he was an Office
boy and newspaper carrier. HE father
published a weekly newspaper, and
Charles besides attending to the Office
as printers devil delivered the Jour.
nal to subscribers in New York, Brook.
iyn and New Jersey City. He used a
exit to cross the rivers. and frequently
would be ont all Saturday night serv.
ing his route 1t is said that he never
missed subscriber.
When seventeen years old he entered
lawyers office as an errand-boy. lie
borrowed law books, took them home
aud read them by the light OF candle
Tar into the night. Several LAWYERS
noticing the boys industry aided him in
his studies.
When he was twenty four years old
be was admitted to the bar, and even
then it was said that young O'Conors
legal opinion was worth more than that
of many other lawyers.
But success comes slowly to n vounu
lawyer. and IL was not until his Thrift.
eth year that clients recognized the legal
learning and skill OF young O'Connor
He was very poor. but industry and a
bility were his capital. lie worked hard
at the smallest case, never sighting
any trust, and secured the reputation OF
man who would do his best for those
employing him. To this conscientious
ness and industry he owed his great sue
cess.

A PUNCTUATfoN PUzzLE.-The fol.
lowing article forcibly illustrates the
necessity OF punctuation. 1t can be
read in two ways, making very bad
man, or very good man, the result de.
pending on the manner in which it is
punctuated. It is we'll worthy the study
OF teachers and pupils:
"IIe is an old and experienced man
in vice and wickedness he is never found
opposing the works Of iniquity he takes
no delight in the downfall Of his neio b-
bors he never rejoices in tho prosperity
OF any Of his fellow creatures he is al
ways ready to assist In destroying the
peace OF society he takes no pleasure
in serving the Lord he is uncommonly
diligent in sowing dscord among his
friends and acquaintance he takes no
pride in laboring to promote the cause
OF Christianity he has not been negli-
gent in endeavoring TO stigmatize all
public teachers he makes no exertions
to subdue his evil passions he strives
hard TO build up Satan's kingdom he
lends no aid to the support Of the Cos
pei among the heather no contributes
largely TO the evil adversary he pays no
attention TO good advice he gives great
heed TO the devil he will never 90 TO
heaven he must go where he will receive
the just recompense Of reward"

HEALTH AND TALENT.-It is no ex-

ingredient in what the world calls talent.
A man without it may be giant in
intellect, but his deeds will he the deed
of dwarf. On the contrary, let him

eF The so-called Rose Of Sharon is
one Of the most exquisite flowers in
shape and hue. Its blossoms are bell
shaped, and of many mingled hues and
dyes. But its history is legendary and
romantic in the highest degree. In the
East, Throughout Syria, Judea, and Ara.
bia, it is regarded with the profoundest
reverence. The leaves that encircle the
round blossoms dry and close together
when the seasons of blossoms are over,
and the stalk, whitening completely a.
way from the stem, the flower is blown
away at last from the stem on which it
grew. having dried in the shape OF q
ball, which is carried by the breeze TO
great distances. In this way it is borne
over the wastes and sandy deserts, UNI
til at last, touching some moist place,
it clings TO the soil. where it immedi.
ately takes fresh root and Springs to
life and beauty again. For this reason
the Orientals have adopted it as the
emblem of the Resurrection.
