In the schOo! ,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 uniformly hard" and
too long" The time and thought ex-
pended in shirsing would be ample To
master their tasks. Sloth, gormandizing.
and worry kill their thousands, where
over-study harms one. The curse of Hea-
ven rests on lazlness and gluttony. BY
the very constitution of our being they are
fitted TO beget that torpor and iespondency
which chill the blood, deaden the nerves,
enfeeble the muscles, aud derange the
whole vital machinery. Fretting, fdget-
ting. ennui, and anxiety are lamong the
most common causes OF disease. On the
other hand, high aspiration and enthusiasm
help digestion and respiration, and send an
increased supply of vital energy to all parts
of the body. Courage and work inyigO-
rate the whole system, and lift one into a
purer atmosphere, above the reach of con-
tagion. The lazy groan most over their
.'arduous daties," while earnest workers
talk little about the eXhaustiug labors OF
their profession. OF all creatures, the
sloth wouldoseem to be the most worried
and worn.-B. g Northrop, Conn.

temple Of the Holy Ghost. The soul that
is full Of pure and generous affections
fashions the features into its own angelic
likeness, as the rose by Inherent impulse
grows in grace and blossoms into lowell
ness which art cannot equal. There Is
nothing on earth which so quickly and SO
perfectly beauties a face. transfigures a
personality, reflnes. exalts, irradiates with
heavens own Impress of loveiiness, As u
pervading.; Prevailing kindness of heart.
The angels are beautiful because they are
good, and God is beauty because lie Is
love.
To be beautiful In person, then. we must
not only conform to all the laws of physi-
cal health, and by gymnastic arts aud arti-
fetal appliances develop the elements Of
our physica being In symmetry and COM
pleteness; bpt we must also train the mind
aud develop the affections to the highest
pos ssible degree. To be beautiful, we must
feed the spark of intellectual fire by read
ing aud meditation. until 1t burns In
steady flame. irradiating the face by Its
hrilliancy, sutiusing the countenance with
light. To be beautiful, we must fill the
brain with great thoughts and live in an
atmosphere of ideas. To be beautiful, we
must put a great. organizing and enno-
bling purpose into the will, and concen-
trate our thought and affection upon II
until enthusiasm wells up in the heart, and
suffuses the countenauce, and rebuilds the
body on its own divine plan. TO be beau
tiful, We must cherish every Kind impulse
and generous disposition. making love the
ruling affection OF the heart and the order
ing principle and inspiring motive of life.
The more kindness, the more beauty the
more love, the more loyeliness. And this
Is the beaBty that lasts. Mere physical
good looks fade with the years, bleach out
with sickness, yield to the slow decay and
wasting breath of mortality. Bot the
beauty that has its seat and source In Kind
dispositions. and noble purposes and
great thoughts, outlasts youth and matur-
ity, increases with age, and, like the lus-
cious, peach, covered with the delicate
blush OF purple and gold which comes
with autumn ripepess, Is never SO beauti-
fuI as when waiting to be plucked by the
gaiherer's hand.-Bostoa Saturday Evenlng

CAUSE OF THE MINNEAPOLIS EXPLOSION.
MYSTERIOUS explosions accumulate. Soda
fountains, candy factories, and now -four
mill, are proved to explode with violence
beyond the force Of gunpowder. Here is
a field which the chemists ought to explore
aud clear up as soon as possible. The i'm
mense roof of the Washburn mill was sent
up into the air like a basin inverted over
mammoth fire cracker, and the explosion
instantly communicated itself TO the neigh
boring mills, showing that they were filed
with the same infiammable material, what
ever IL was. 1t would appear that it could
have beea nothing else but the impalpable
dust OF flour and the gas it generates. ac-
cordiug to the opinion of eminent German
and English chemists who have studied
similar instances OF explosion. If this be
so the workmen i'm these huge mills are con-
stantly in the midst of a danger almost as
great as that to which the workers in pow
der mills are liable, or that which used to
haunt mines before the Invention Of Sir
Humphrey Davy's salty lamp. Similar
preventives or safeguards viii doubtless
yet be discovered which will preserve mil
lers from such terrible casualties as that
at Minneapolis, as to which it Is a wonder
that the loss Of life was no greater.-l Bos-
ton Journal.

LESS THAN A FBRoTHER.-A lady

Of her scholars by giving them original ex-
anples in arithmetic, in addition to those
found In the textbook. The other day she
submitted, on the spur of the moment, the
proposition: Charles has $50; he pur-
chases various articles at such .and such
prices (naming them) and then divides the
remainder of the money among his broth
ers, giving each Of them Show many

energetically for moment, and then first

there was general outburst of merriment,
which was explained when the answer to
the problem was given: "He had forty

AN ELOQUENT SPEECH the banque

to their prominent Southern guests, among
the very best speeches made was that OF
Senator Gordon. Following is the closing
portion:
There are laws OF human action as re-
sstless as those of the material world. ou
can no more check the good will in this
country since the causes of difference are
gone, than they can prevent the flow of
your Merrimackjon its way to the sea. In
deed more easily stop the river in its course;
Tor TO do this you have only to build wall
as high as its source-ss high as the sRow-
DRIFT on the White mountains; while to
prevent people inhabiting the same coun-
try, lnheritOrs OF the same memories and
rights and liberties, with the same blood
in their veins, with common interests,
common hopes and common future. from
coming together as friends, you must
build barrier between them as high as
heaven itself. for the law which compels
them 10 the edict Of the God Of humanity
o my countrymen! The causes that divid
ed Us are gone, and gone forever. The
interests which now unite US win unite US
forever.
