wont to lool; so bright, now had far away

her mind. There was no evidence o.

one, no doubt, who is an enemy TO you,

'And do you believe theml' | said,
trembling with excitement and indignation.
'Believe them, Harry z" she replied. As
she spoke her manner was sufficient to con-
vince me she did not. "Believe them,
Harryi No; and no most emphatically
and if you say the word, will be yours

The Liverpool docks, as they stand at
present, are among the wonders of the
world. Since the formation of the first wet
dock, in 17l9, The extension of these inland
basins has been continuous. Fifteen years
ago they covered an area of water space to
the extent of 277 acres, and the quays were
nineteen miles in length. Siuce then there
has been no cessation of dock extension.
To enumerate or describe them would fill
many pages. There are the Salthouse, AL
bert and Canning docks, the Clarence half
tide dock, the Princes half-tlde dock, the
Manchester basin, the Mapping basin, the
Coburg, Brunswick, Union, Toxeth and
dozens of other docks, with the GORE Pi-
aZzas at the bottom of st. James Street, a
short distance from the Town Hall. Every
convenience and facility for the speedy
transaction of business surrounds them. \
broad open .horoughfarc, tapping at right
angles many of the principal streets, runs
along their whole length; in this roadway
is double line of rails, which branch oil
also and surround several of the basins and
docks; omnibuses and tram cars traverse il
perpetually during the day from end to end.
The scene is busy one alwvys. A hurry
ing polyglot multitude, constantly on the
move in and out about the sheds; great
vans and walns, laden with produce, cottor
bales, ores, Manchester piece gods, cases
of every size and description, containing
cochineal, indigo, flax, jute, guano, ma
! hoganY, dressed hides and untanned, mo
lasses, raw silk, and the thousand and ont

duce needed to carry on the manufacturing

The termination of Mushroom Spores.

1t has been generally supposed, and In
fact it is asserted in all works on the sub
iect, that the spores of the common edi-
BILE mushroom cannot be made to germi.
nate until they have passed through the
body of horse, or some gramlnlvorous
animal. Mr.. w. G. Smith, an eminent
authority denies this, however. He says,
in the current number of the Gardeners
Chronicle, that cit is mistake to suppose
that the mushroom spores will not germl-
nate until they have passed through the
stomach of some graminivorous animal, for l
have several times seen the spores germl-
mating upon clean grass. l first notlceo
the fact by accident, after l had LETT q
number of freshly fallen spores under the
microscope all night. On looking at the
slide in the morning nearly every spore had
terminated. But then the spores were per-
fectly fresh and alive. My observations
lead me to think that spores very soon die
in unsuitable dry air or when they fall upon
any unsuitable matrix. Many other fun
gus spores will germinate upon glass, it be-
ing ALWAYS remembered that for this pur-
pose the spores must be perfectly fresh
| from the hymenium of the parent fur gus.
Fungus spores will grow freely upon damp
blotting paper; they cannot be seer
when upon this material, but they can DC
easily transferred (by mere contact) to
damp glass slide. Several dung-born aga
RIGS. (as they are often termed), including
the mushroom, are not uncommon OF
the sea sands, in position where gramlni
verous animals rarely dsport themselves.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

The memory Of mischief ls no desira-
bic fame,
TO him that lives well every form of
life Is good.
The torment of envy is like grain of
sand in the eye.
Those who hope for no other life are
dead even for this.
DO not suffer life to stagnate; 1t will
grow muddy for want or motion.
To the blessed eternity itself there ia
no other handle than this instant.
What the key is to the watch, the
prayer Is to our graces.
The heart has its reasons, which Rea-
son does not apprehend.
1t is not life to live for ones self
alone. Let us help one another.
Many complain Of their memory. but
none of their judgment.
A man seldom improves who has no
better model than himself.
Society could not long subsist If men
were notthe dupes Of one another.
Consider no work completed that you
might hava performed more credirably
He is not so good as he should be who
does not strive to be better than he Is.
There Is not a property in nature but
a mind is born to seek and find it out.
Let us not imagine evils we do not
feel, nor injure life by misrepresenta-
tions.
The life of solitary man will GER
tainly be miserable, but not certainly
devout.
No evil is insupportable but that
ic Cd
ness of wrong.
No indulgence of passion destroys
tne spiritual nature so much as respect
able selfishness.
There are few doors through which
liberality, Joined with good humor,
cannot find It's way.
The mind hath reason to remem-
Der that passions ought to be her vas
sails not her masters.
This is the present reward OF virtu-
GUS conduct-that no unlucky conge-
quence can oblige us to regret it.
All virtue lies in the power of deny
ing our own desires when reason does
not authorize or sanction them.
Even gentleness can be acquired AZ
ter patient exercise OF your better na-
ture.
Clutch virtue as a priceless Jewel,
and handle vice as you would red-hot
coal.
How can we expect a harvest of
thought who have not had seed-time
Of character?
Mankind worship success, but think
100 little of the means by which it is at
-ained.
Man judges of our motives by our ac-
ions. God judges Of our actions by
Our motives.
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1879-11-06

If we could read the secret history Of
our enemies, we should find in each
mans life sorrow and suffering enough
TO disarm all hostility.
Young men often fail to get on i'm
this world because they neglect small
opportunities. Not being faithful i'm
little things, they are not promoted TO
the charge of greater things.
To put up with the world is better than
to control it. This is the very acme Of
virtue. Religion leads us to it in day;
philosophy only conducts TO it by n
heightened life, misery, or death.
When one natteringly praises me,
always eommends me, never rebukes
me, assists my faults, and fOrgives me
before have repented-he is my enc
my.
Men must trust rather to their eyes
than to their ears; the effect of precept
is, therefore, slow and tedious, whilst
that Of example 10 summary and eftec-
tual.
1t is not tho strange sights that we
shall see in heaven that will so much
delight us; not the glitter and the
| glory; not the diamond and topaz; no,
it Is God, He is all and in all.
1t is great disgrace to religion to
imagine that it Is an enemy tO mirth
and cheerfulness, and severe ex-
tractor Of pensive looks and solemn
faces.
Could we but prevail with the great
est debauchers among us to change
their lives, we should find 1t no very
hard master to change their judgments.
1t matters to us in life not so much
what part we play, as it does TO play
our part well. In drama it is not SO
much a question who played the king
or the peasant, as who played the part
best.
Life is stream which continually
flows on, but never returns. We die
daily; for each day takes away some
portion of life, The days which are
past are gone forever; the present mo-
ment. only is our own.
No man can succeed in all his under
takings, and it would not be well for
him to do so, Things easily acquired
go easily. 1t is by the struggle it costs
to obtain that we learn to rightly esti-
mate the value.
The love of glory, the fear of shame.
the design of making fortune, the de-
sire of rendering life easy and agreea-
BILE, and the humor of pulling down
} other people, are often the causes Of
that valor so celebrated among men.
The soul may be compared to a field
of battle, where the armies are ready
at every moment to encounter. Not q
single vice but has q more powerful op-
ponent, and not one virtue but may be
: everborne by a combination of vices.
Never yet did there exist full faith
in the Divine Word which did not ex.
pand the intellect while it purified the
! heart; which did not multiply the aimi
| and objects of the understanding while
D it fixed and simplified those of the de-
8 sires and feelings.
0 People are apt to think that the hare
times which they experience are tht
: hardest times that have ever been; ano
+ so they are for them. But one only
t needs to read the history Of the world

The Constitution

In a short time our people will be
called upon to select delegates to a
constitutional convention, and it is
highly important, that they exercise
their best judgmentin tho selection
of such delegates. Our parish will
be entitled to one delegate, and the
senatorial districttwo, we should be
careful to send men of ability, ex-
perience, and integrity, they should
be perfectly familiar with our pres
ent Constitution, it's defects, and the
changes necessary to he made.
Our judicial system will have to be
remodeled, a number of offices
abolished, and more labor imposed
upon such, as may be necessary to
carry on the Government in it's va
rious departments. The whole ma
chinery should be established OH an
economical basis, VIC are no adyo-
cate for lOw-priced officials, but
think, the salaries of all should be
sufficient to command the besttalent
for the various positions to be filled,
and to satisfy them in devoteing
their whole time, to their official
business. We much fear that our
people having groaned so long un-
der heavy taxes, necessary to pay
high salaries to incompetent off
Gals, may be inclined to go to the
other extreme, and make them SO
low, that good and competent mel
will not seek to fill them.
But it the people throughout the
state are careful in the selection OIL
delegates to compose the conyen
ton, every part of the new consti
tuition framed by them, will he vel
considered, and when completed
will be heartially endorsed by all O
our citizens, and will need no ratifi
cation by them. 8

chona-bark. There exists in the
root sort of tannin of a very pale
yellow color, soluble in water and
i'll alcohol, and which strikes a
green color with iron salts. 1t is
soluble in water slightly acidulated
with hydrochloric acid; but with
more hydrocloric acid it combines
to an insoluble compound. This
substance, called by Phipson Fra
garaaaiae, is really a sort of tannin
closely allied to quino-tannic acid
but instead of yielding cinchoaa yed
like the latter, it yields a somewhat
similar substance, which Pipsor
calls Fragarine.

The edge of journalism is begrit
with innumerable aspirants. Every
man and a great many women think
that the only qualification for jour
nalism is that which is necessary in
writing 4 private letter. 1t is the
commonest thing in the world for
people who have never once WELD
ed the pea Professionally to imagine
that they would make first-class
European correspondents for in
tluential Journals. 1t is the com
monest thing in the world for a
young lady who has never indited
anything more weighty than a note
OF invitation or acceptance, to think
that book reviewing and editorial
writing can be picked up in a NOM
emit. The truth is, that even indif.
ferent writing in these respects is
not the result ola weeks study:
and that excellent writing in any
important sphere of journalistic la.
Dor is the slow-coming consequence
of years of trial and DEVELOPMENT.
Few things are more sadly amusing
than to watch the dreary failures
that are made. It is hard to i'm
press upon those who tremble Oh
the edge OF journalism that, after.
all, the ladder they would climb is
steep one, with many ruugs. They
will not be persuaded, though one
rose from the dead to convince them,
and sooner or later are swallowed
up in the pitiless vortex of BOHEMIA
