The Origin Of the Human Race

Mr. Darwin traces our genealogy
thus -
The early progenitors of man, were.
no doubt, covered with hair, both sex
es having boards; their ears were
pointed, and capable of movement:
aud their bodies were provided with a
tail having the proper muscles. The
not was prehensile: and our progenl-
tors, no ioubt, were arboresl in their
habits, irequenting some warm forest.
clad land. The males were provided
with formidable canine teeth, which
served them as formidable weapons.
At still earlier period, the progeni-
tors OF man must have beeu aquatic
in their habits; for morphology plain
Is teaches us that our lungs consist of
a modified swim bladder which once
served as a lOat. These early prede.
cessors of man. thus seen in the dim
recess of time. must have been as low
* organized as the lancet or amphiox
~. or even still more lowly organized. l"

Some love face Of charming grace
A fairy form Of angel beauty
But for my part give me tho heart
Iaspired By candor, love and duty.
A homely lyok Is like book,
Plain outside. but within IL
Ar. vems Of thought BY wisdom wrought,
A higher worth to whit
let me live as should the Christian, with no stain
upon my soul,
with no slsyish fear to bind me meath Its wither-
Ing, stern controls
And conscience bearing witness that where duty
led the way,
Ny highest happiness has been to follow ana
obey.

The Lamoille news. (Hyde Park, Vt.) 1877-1881, 1878-01-16

Our attention was attracted by sew
eral lusty squeaks from the inside of
pail almost full Of water, into which
a half-grown mouse had fallen. The
alarm had hardly died away when four
or five mice appeared on the scene and
began clambering to the top of the
pail. For several moments after gain
ing the top of the pail, and catching
sight of the mouse in the water, a
squeaking confab was held. First one
mouse and then another would cling to
the rim Of the bucket with his hind
legs, and, while almost touching the
water with his nose, squeak out con-
ISOLATION or advice to the immersed ;
but while all this was going on the
swimming powers Of the unfortunate
mouse in the pail were rapidly giving
out. At last happy thought seemed
to strike the biggest mouse, and al
most without squeak he firmly fast
ened bis fore feet on the edge Of the
pail, and let his body and tail hang
down. The drowning mouse saw it.
and making last desperate effort fol-
life, swan to the spot, seized the tai
Of his brother mouse, and annie
squeaks of delight from all the mice
present, was hauled high and dry ou
of the water and over the edge of The
bucket.-Corinne (Utah) Record.

and took a part of his fathers section,
and expected to have n church in Pc

we arrived there, leaving myself and
another brother and five sisters desti-
tute of everything but the land. -Four

A Gentle Hint.

In our style Of climate, with its sud-
den changes Of temperature,-ra
wind and sunshine often intermingled
in a single day,-it is no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neglect
ing colds, half the deaths resulting di-
rectly from this cause. A bottle of Bos-
chee's German Syrup kept about your
home for immediate use will prevent
serious sickness, large doctors bill,
and perhaps death, by the the use OF
three or four doses. For curing con-
sumption, hemorrhages, pneumonia,
severe coughs, Group or any disease OF
the throat or lungs, its success is sim
ply wonderful, as your druggist will
tell you. German Syrup is now sold
in every town and village on this con-
tinent. Sample bottles for trial, &c
cts. regular size, Is cts.
