Though many powerful appeals, many
solid arguments, cannot break our aflec-
tions from this earth, the hand of Il depart
ed child can do it. The voice that calls us
to unseen realties-that bids us prepare
for the heavenly land that says from
heigh;s of spiritual bliss and purity, Come
up higher, that voice is the voice that we
love so on earth, and gladly can we rise
and follow it. Behold, then, what little
child can perform for us,through its death
1t makes real and attractive to us that
spiritual world to which it has gone, and
it calls our affections from earth to that
true lie which is the object of all our dis
cpline, our mingled joy and suffering here
upon earth. That little child gone from
its suflerings so early,-gone,
" Gentle and undcfled with blessings on its head
has indeed become very angel of God
for us, and it is calling US to IA more spirit

Then shall we behold already the wisdom
and benevolence of our Father breaking
through the cloud that overshadows us.
Already shall we see that the tie, which
seemed to be dropped and broken, God
has taken up to draw us closer TO Hin, ,and
that it is interviewer with His all-grac iouS
plan for our spiritual profit and perfection
And we can anticipate how it will all be
reconciled, when His own hand shall wipe
away our tears, and the bliss of reunion
shall extract the last drop of bitterness
from "thc cup that our Father hath given

STORIES OF AN ELEPHANT.-Some
years ago there was an elephant of uncom-
mon size and intelligence in the London
Geological Gardens, who was the original
hero of an incident which has since been
related in different ways. lie was as
well known TO the frequenters of the Gar
dens as the bear-pit itself,and was n great
fIvorite with children, to whom he be-
haved with gentleness that was almost
pathetic. At a word from his keeper he
would tenderly wrap his trunk around the
body of any child bold enough to make
the experiment, and lift it gently to his
own broad back, and was evidently de-
lighted at the trust reposed in him. The
nurse-maids and the babies always brought
cakes for this elephant, and sometimes
gingerbread nuts, of when he was partic-
ularly fond. Among his. regular visitors
was Il young man who always gave him
bag of these nuts, and the elephant soon
learned TO know his benefactor. One day
this young gentleman offered TO the eie-
phant II bag of nuts strongly seasoned with
Cayenne pepper, and the big beast unsus-
pectingly opened his mouth, dropped the
nuts into it, and began to MUNICH them up.
ilIo IutOhI wis vi COuIoC Udul DulhOu,hhu
he trumpted aloud in his rage and pain.
Near him stood Il bucket, which he picked
up and handed to his keeper, thereby
signifyng his desire for water. He
drained palful after pailful while his tor
mentor stood near laughing at the sue
cess of his pitiful trick. The keeper of
the elephant, who had been told of what
had occurred, warned tho young man to
depart, but he refused to 60 Suddenly
the elephant, having slaked his thirst
seized the bucket by the handle and threw
it with terrific force ut the head of the
practical Joker, and with SO true an aim
that the missile missed its mark by IL few
inches only. The pail was shivered to
atoms against tree. Had it struck the
man it would have killed him instantly.
The same elephant-we tell the story as
told by his keeper-droppcd an apple,
which rolled into the adjoining stable of II
rhinoceros. By inserting his trunk be-
tween the bars of the partition between
the two structures, he was able to touch
but not to grasp the coveted fruit. He
made repeated efforts to obtain it, but in
vain, and at last apparently abandoned
the enterprise. Suddenly he again thrust
his trunk through the bars, and with n
mighty snort blew the apple violently
against the opposite wall. On its rebound
it came easily within his reach and he ate
it with token Of satisfaction. Whether his
act was the result of reason or chance our
readers may decide for themselves.

A SHIP OF TIE DEsERT.-A report
comes from the Sierra Mountains of the
discovery of the timbers of stranded
vessel, resembling those Of II Chinese junk,
high up in the mountains, between Miner
al King and the headwatcrs of King River
The sound portions of the timber resemble
camlh + wood and it is said, still retains
faint smell. The fastenings are of cop
per ;the rigging, &c.,are of course all gone.
A number of bones, supposed TO be human,
were also found in the vicinity, and upon
the adjacent slopes there is abundant evil
dence of the previous occupation of the
waters in the shape of shells, as well as
the occasional finding of petriiied fish.
That this valley has at one time been an
inland sea is admitted by geologists, but
that these waters were navigatcd by Celes-
tial seamen one or two thousand years ago
has never been claimed even by the Chi
nese themselves. But these people do claim
TO have been the original discoverers o.
this country, and this find seems to give
color to the claim. 1t has also been claim
ed by them that vessels of theirs have
been wrecked on this coast, and that por-
tions of the crews have returned to China
but that the wreck itself should be located
and that this location should prove to be
in Tulare county, is surely notable fact
inviting the inspection of the curious ant

SLATE RooFs 1t is often urged against
slate roofs that they must necessarily be
constructed Of much heavier timber in
order to sustain the extra weight; but the
falacy of this argument is readily seen if
we consider for moment that the timbers
required to sustain shingle roof must be
sufficiently strong enough to carry what
ever snow may fall and remain on its
surface, contingency that need not be
provided for in slate roof, rs the latter
material is impervious to water, and
having no rough surface exposed, ice or
snow cannot accumulate upon it; there
fore, it follows that shinge roofs are
occasionally subject to greater strains than
slate ones A good roof of slate is practi-
caly impershable> lis durability has no
limit, and in many cases where the tim
bers have had to be renewed on account OF
decay the slates have been carefully taken
off and relayed over the new timbers,
whereas the life Of shingle roof, under
the most favorable circumstances, does
not exceed thirty years. A slate roof
seldom takes fire from sparks from your
own chimney or from neighboring fires /;
and the water flowing from the roof to the
cislern during a rain storm is free from
dirt, insects, or decaying wood, and will
retain its purity for much longer period
than water that has first fallen on shin
Gle roof. f.-American BUtIder.S

TIE CAMEL IN ARIZONA Some two
years since herd of camels was driven
to Yuma, county, Arizona, with the intent
to render them serviceable in the territory
as beasts of burden. AS the expectation
formed of them was not realized, they
were turned loose by their owners to
roam eastward along the Gila river at
their own rumnating will. They appear
to have noyed their liberty, and to have
profted by it. Not only have they thriv-
en- as though they had been in their native
Africa, but they have bred literally, and
seem to have become domesticated to the
region. 1t is thought that the new gen
Grafton of camels will be thoroughly accli-
mated, and used to the alkaline waters
peculiar to that section. The waterless des.
ert of Sonora,to the south and south cast of
Yuma county, contains vast deposits of
salt, sulphur, borax, and soda, with i'm
mense mineral ores in the mountains.
These camels may yet be employed to
advantage in transporting those products,
for they can 90 without water us neither
horses nor mules can. AS it is well known
the inside of their second stomach and a
portion of their first stomach is lined with
cells in which water is stored up and re.
tained, enabling them to endure long
drought. 1t would be singular if the re
iccted and wandering camels should yet
be found to be the best means Of develop
ing the resources of Sonora and much OF
the country roundabout. Nevertheless,
it would be only one Of many instances
in which apparent accident has succeeded
where design has failed.

WRINKLES.-Tim and physical suffer-
ing cause the creases about the eyes more
than anything else. Therefore, with
proper attention to your health, you have
it in your power to avoid many of these.
Nervous suffering often gives hard look
to the mouth. and sometimes pulls it out
of shape. We all of us that are worth
anything must 90 through more or less of
it. But the spirit in which we bear it will
be sure to leave its impress about the
most mobile of all the features of the face.
Pain of all kinds, anguish, agony, care,
wrinkle the forehead from temple to tenn
pie. Thought and passion crease it per-
pendicularly between the browS. All these
outward manifestations of the internal
conflict that goes on in every one of us
from day to day are, to some extent, with
in the control of our will, but they do not
yield one iota to all the cosmetics in the
world. Yon have certain feeling, and
your face takes on certain lines, and in
proportion with the recurrence of that feel
ing those lines deepen. But you may, by
the exercise of your will power. keep that
feeling in check to q certain extent, and
to certain extent also control the lines of
your face. This is all the preventive or
cosmetic that there is for wrinkles. So
save the money you have put aside for
any other so-called cure of them, and use
it for n better purpose. There can be nc
real and lasting beauty without truth. Try
to be true to noble ideal all through.
That is the foundation, the cornerstone of
true beauty. An attractive face is not a

THE WAY ONE MAN GoTON.-Causeur
has a friend,a journalist of distinction, now
holding a very prominent and responsible
position on one of the best known papers
in the country, who had peculiar expert
ence once in getting position on the staff
of a New York daily. He applied to the
editor-in-chief, who knew him well and
was aware of his ability and experience.
"Tve nothing TO offer you" he said
" but perhaps you had better see the man
aging editor" To the managing editor,
who also knew him we'll, the applicant
went. There's nothing can give" he
said, pleasantly; why don't you see the
editor-in-chiefp The next day he applied
to both again, and the next, each time re-
ceving the same answer. Dropping in on
the fourth day he noticed IL vacant desk in
the reporters room, kept for any one who
might use it. He called the office-boy,
told him TO clean up the desk and bring
writing materials. Having moved in"
he sought the city editors assignment
book, picked out job that he thought he
could do, did it, laid the result on the city
editors desk and went home. The next
day he did the same thing. and the next,
hhu lLC hCA1s ou Altu lilO
in-chief passed through the room while he
was at his desk. 80 you've got to work?"
he said. pleasantly. Yes, sir" answer
ed the self-appointed reporter. A day or
two later the managing editor came in.
q" Got at it at last, eh?' he inquired. "Yes
sir" answered the latest addition to the
staff, going on with his work. Thing.
went on this way for two weeks, when one
morning the chief came in. /" How do
you like your position?" he asked. First
rate" he answered; there's only one
trouble-I haven't had any money yet"
" No money! How's that? Perhaps the
managing editor forgot to put your name
on the roll. Never mind, will. How
much did he say you were to have?" " He
didn't say, sir'' said the reporter, telling
the truth very literally. The chief fixed
the pay then and there, dated it back two
weeks, and the " hanger-on became
full fledged member Of the staff on the
spot And the best of the joke was that it
was not until two years atterward that
either the editor-in- chief or the managing
editor knew how it came about, each sup
posing the other had done it. Two heads
certainly were better than one that time
for the applicant. -Boston Tra1,cript.

WILLING TO OBLIGE.-A very PROPOSES
ing young lady canvassing for popular
book, stepped into the office of broker,
and finding him apparently at leisure,
asked him to look at the book. The gen
tleman informed her that it would only be
Il waste Of time, as he could not purchase
it.
"Oh! never mind that" CALCULATED the
vivacious young woman, it won't cost
anything to look at it,even if you don't buy.
should like to have YOU read some por-
tions of it, and see what it is"
The accommodating broker took the
volume, and, glancing ut the title page,
commenced Il perusal of the introduction.
This finished, he began at the first chapter,
and read carefully and leisurely along. 1t
was about 9 O'Clock when he commenced,
and an hour passed silently away, when
the book agent began to show signs of
nervousness. which were apparently uu-
noticed by the broker, for he never took
his eyes from the volume, but read steadi-
y on. Eleven o'clock came, and the lady
began to walk smartly around the room,
glancing occasionally out of the windows.
At noon the broker WAS still reading, and
the agent wore decidedly troubled coun-
tenancc. A few minutes before l o'clock
the broker laid the book down, ei,urelv
donned his overcoat and hat, and remark
ed
That is very good book. | am sor-
ry | cannot read more of it, but am
obliged to 90 to dinner. If you will call
this afternoon, will continue reading it."

Among the most noteworthy of the
recent mementoes of the war is the memo
rial obelsk erected ut salisbury, N e., to
mark the burial place of the northern
soldiers who perished in an adjacent prison
pen during the last years OF the great
conflict. 1t has been estimated that the
eighteen trenches contain no fewer than
1i,7O0 men buried promiscuously, with
out the possibility of identification, from
which circumstance this battle-ground is
known as the Cemetery of the Unknown
Dead" 1t lies about half a mile from the
town of Salisbury, on II slopng ground,
and has an extent of about seven acres,
surrounded by massive stone wall. The
cemetery proper covers two acres, the
other five being laid out as lawn. and
planted with trees. A neat lodge has been
erected ut the main entrance, over which
national colors are displayed daily in tine
weather. The monument itself. II plain
obelisk of New Hampshire granite, thirty
six feet and ten inches in height, was
erected at u cost of $4,000. The. unknown
names of the dead are POLITICALLY symbolic
ed by yelled shield A sword and helmet
typify the national struggle, and pair OF
broken letters the bursting of the prison
bonds by death. Over all, surrounded by
;, laurel wreath, is the inscription, "Pro
Palriu." The monument, standing ON the
highest part of the slape, is plainly visible
frnm the railway. and forms one OF the
most picturesque features OF the local pan

TIE DoG.-EIardly any animal has be-
come so thoroughly civilized as the dog.
The domestic cat, with all its love of To-
cality, has a taste for vagabondizing, and
there is hankering for jungles still in its
blood. The horse is fond of his stable,
but if he is otherwise affectionate he is not
demonstrative. To the dog, q return of
his attachment seems to be prime neces-
siy. If the family leaves lis home, the
cat stays behind and makes friends with
the new comers, while the dog follows to
the fresh domicie and settles himself
quietly in his new quarters. He is CRATE
full for kindness, never forgets benefits,
and forgives injuries if they are inflicted
by the hands of which he is fond. 1t is
needless to say that his affection is return
ed. He is useful and he knows it, because
his usefulness is so promptly and lovingly
commanded. He shares sense of property,
partakes of the sport, is glad when glad
ness rules the home, and melancholy when
there is sadness there. No wonder that
he is made much of! No wonder that
mems regard for him is perpetuated in all
ages and all climes; that his merits are
commemorated in poems, and his exploits
recorded in history; that " anecdotes Of
dogs are quite as common as anecdotes
of men, and frequently much more to the
credit of the quadrupeds. - Tribune.

Several years ago Hindoo was living
as I'm ascclic and making pilgrimages to
various shrincs in India, burdened with Il
sense of sin. He found somewhere q
small Christian tract and a single gospel
in Hindu Reading these he became con-
vinced that they spoke of the true way to
rest from sin. He found his way to mis-
sionary and became II Christian, settled
down to his Zemindari, and is now hap
py man.
Recently Brahmin who lives in vii
lage thirty miles distant from Bareilly fell
in with one of the missionaries, who was
surprised to find that he possessed copy
of the New Testament in Hindu, purchas-
ed some time ago from colporteur. and
that he was familiar with the story of
Christ's birth, temptation, miracles, life
and death, etc., as detailed in it. He had
been reading the book attentively. The
missionaries of Bareilly and Budaon dis
trict have been surprised TO find the New
Testament in the possession of certain
Bairagi Gurus who are teaching it in con-
nection with their own books, and are be-
coming convinced that it contains the true
Dharm. They still use their own books
as h means of holding on to their people.
