LOSING A BuTToN.-Walter Scott
tells story of boy who was with
him in school, who always stood at
the head of his class. It was the
custom of the scholars to change
places in their classes, according to
failure or success in recitation but
though Walter was number two, he
could not get to be head, because
this boy never missed. But Walter
noticed that he had a habit, when
puzzled by hard question, of twirling
button on his jacket, and this
seemed to help him to think out a
right answer. Walter, more through
mis- chief than any worse motive,
cut off the button slyly one day, to
see if that would make any differ
ence. The lesson WIS spelling
lesson, and several boys at the foot
missed hard word. It came round
to the head. The boy instinctively
put his hand to the button. It was
gone. He looked down to find it,
grew confused, missed the word,
and Walter went above him. The
boy never got to the head again,
seemed to lose his ambition, settled
down into second.rate scholar, and
never accomplished much in life.
Walter Scott declared that he often
suffered sharp remorse at the
thought that he possibly spoiled the
boy for school and for life by cutting
off the button that had done such
good service. IL ~

TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL IT
RIpEyS.


There is a curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Underhill. the well-known
grape-growcr Of Croton Point, died in 1871.
Some of his heirs entertained temperance
views Of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t Is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded In arranging for settlement
Of the estate and the sale of the wines On
hand. Among these Is wine Of the vintage
OF 1864. described as a "Sweet Union Port, 20
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine Of American
growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are
fanciers have special interest in it as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands Of the well-known wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurben.-N. =. 7,i6ans.
Nov. I9. 1877.
The above speaks for itself, but we would
add that this is the pure juice Of the grape,
neither d,Hserd, Hqno,sd nor soafe,sd; that it
has been ripened and mellowed by age. and
for medicinal or sacramental purposes 1t Is
unsurpassed. 1t can be obtained from most

ROBERT MORRIS.

The new silver certificates bear
upon the left end the portrait of
Robert Morris. We are prone to
forget the deeds of the heroes who
were instrumental in founding the
liberal government under which
we live. Robert Morris was q poor
bank-clerk in Philadelphia in colo
NAL times, but went into business
with his employers son on the re-
tirement of the principal. He rose
to eminence Us d financier, and his
was the strongest commercial house
in America when the Revolution
broke out. He opposed the stamp-act t
and was elected to Congress in 177f.
On the first Of July, 1776, he voted
against the Declaration of Inde~
pendence, declaring it premature,
but when the great instrument was
adopted he signed it with the rest,
and his signature is bold evidence
of sincerity. He did more for the
purvoyanco of the army in it's days
of direful distress than the Govern.
ment itself. In 17S0, through his
management, 100000 rations and
800 hogshoads of rum were sent to
the army. In 1871, he furnished
the army with several thousand
barrels of flour. This great man
did not cease his exertions for the
benefit of tho Revolution cause till
liberty was secured. When Wash~
ington offered him the post Of
secretary of the treasury, he declined
in favor of Alexander Hamilton. It
is mournful page in our history
that Robert Morris, having lost his
fortune in his old age, was confined
in prison for debt, and actually died
in poverty. The placing of his large,
honest face on the silver certificate
is some recognition of his services
to our country in it's early days of
financial distress.

ARnHaI EIenhant.

The oldest of the white elephants Oh
Siam, which was born in 1770, died in
its temple at Bangkok in November last.
Every one knows that this famous white
elephant, before whom whole people
bow the knee, is the emblem of the king
dom of Siam. Each white elephant pos
sesses its palace, a vessel of gold, and
harness resplendent with jewels. Sew
eral mandarins are attached to its ser
vice, and feed it with cakes and sugar
cane. The King of Siam is the only per-
son before whom it bends the knee, and
a similar salutation is rendered it by the
monarch. The deceased idol mas been
accorded magnificent funeral. A hun
dred Buddhist priests oficiated at the
ceremony. The three surviving white
elephants, preceded by trumpets and
followed by an immense concourse OF
people, accompanied the funeral car to
the bank of the Menam, where the King
and his noble lord received the mortal
remains, which were transported to the
opposite bank for burial. A procession
of thirty vessels figured at that curious
ceremony. All the floating houses, rang
ed in double file on the Menam, to the
number of over sixty thousand, were
adorned with flags of all colors and SYM
bolioal attributes.

Gum Arabic,

In Morocco, about the middle of No
vember, that is, after a rainy season
which begins in July, a gummy juice ex.
udes spontaneously from the trunk and
principal branches of the acacia tree. In
about fifteen days it thickens in the fur
row, down which it runs, either in YER
micular Tor Worm) shape, or commonly
assuming the form of oval and round
tears about the size of pigeons egg, of
different colors, as they belong to the
white or red gum tree. About the mid
die of December the Moors encamp on
the borders of the forest, and the harvest,
lasts six weeks. The gum Is packed in
very large sacks of leather, and brought
on the backs Of bullocks and camels to
certain ports, where it is sold to the
French and English merchants. 1t is
highly nutritious During the whole
time Of harvest, of the journey, and of
the fair, the Moor of the desert lives
almost entirely upon it, and experience
proves that six ounces of gum are sufi-
cient for the support of man twenty
four hours.
