GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Truth only speculation whom taught, becomes
a revelation when 1t is lived.
Persecution is either an imperative duty or 1t Is
one Of the worst Of crimes.
To rejoice in the happiness Of others, is to make
1t our own; to produce 1t Is to make 1t more than
our own.
There is many man who prays fervently not
to be led into temptation, and then goes into 1t
ofhis own accord, expecting the Lord to get him

Sense can support herself handsomely, in most
countries, for some eighteen pence day; but fan.
tasy, planets, and solar systems will not suffer-
Carlyle.
Mere immensty Of size always astounds but
our wonder at the vast results accomplished by
comparatively slight means remains the longest
with us. -.'
The man who farms his brains to their full ex.
tent year after year, and does not believe in occa
sionsl fallowngs will find at last that brains like
land, will run out
Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever
Do lovely things, nor dream them all day long !;
And thus make life, death, and that vast forever
One grand, sweet song.
-fCharles Kingsley
Honor to him who, self complete alone.
Carves to the grave one pathway all his own,
And, needing paught that men may think or say
Asks but his soul, If doubtful of the way.
-[Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton.' /
Refined policy has ever been the parent Of COZ.
fusion, and ever will be as long as the world en-.
dures. Plain good intention, which is easily dis
covered at the first view as fraud is surely detect

ment Of mankind,-[Burke.
In the course Of our reading, we should lay up
in our minds a store Of goodly thoughts in well
wrought words which should be living treasure
OF knowledge always with us, and from which, at
various times and amidst all the shifting OF cir.
cumstances, we might be sure Of drawing some
comfort guidance and sympathy. Friends in

Lets hnd the sunny side of men,
And be believers In it;
A light there is In every soul

THE TOAST SATISFACTORY.

Certain Americans were recently entertained by
certain London University men.
toast In honor Of the guests was proposed.
TWAS: 1.-THE United States, bounded on the
north by Canada on the south by the Gulf OF
Mexico, on the east by the great Atlantic, and on
the west by the broad Pacific" =
This however did not satisfy the more republi.
can members Of the University. They proposed
"The United States bounded on the north by the
north pole on the south by the Antarctic ocean,
on the east by the Gulf stream, and on the west
by the illimitable ocean,"
Even that did not satisfy one member OF the
party.
His toast was: "The United States, bounded on
the north by the aurora borealis on the south by
infinite space on the east by the procession Of the
equinOxes, and on the west by the day OF judg.
ment"
The toast was drank with enthusiasm.

SINGULAR INSTINCTS OF sCOR-
PIONS.

There iS a species Of stinging scorpion found in
the river bottoms of Western Texas,
Immediately after the birth OF her young the fe
male places them in basket-saaped receptacle
on her back, where they at once attach themselve
and begin sucking her blood. ~
OF course the mother soon succumbs to this sun
flial treatment, and begins to droop. - q
The young ones are by this time sufficiently
nourished to demand more substantial food, and
they kill their mother and devour her. shonld
one Of the young ones become detached from the
living nest 1t Is at once killed and feasted upon
by Its mother, Thus it seems that while the te
male willingly sacrifices her life for her offspring
yet she does not hesitate to kill them should they
be so devoid Of instinct as to refuse to remain
where she places them after birth. While this ia
going on the male parent stands around.-Hanni-
bal (4o.) Courier.

DON'T PAY.

THE last Connecticut Legislature tried a new
experiment in getting Its work before the people.
Heretofore the custom has always been to print
the laws In the newspapers, but this yeaR they
were, collected in a pamphlet for distribution by
the Town Clerks among the people. 1t is discov-
cred, however, that the people don't csllupo the
Town Clerks for this sort OF literature with much
enthusiasm, and these officials Hnd big piles OF
pamphlets left on their hands, without feeling
quite safe In dsposlng Of them at the current rates
for waste paper 7

THE FACTORY GIRL,

Twas on winter morning,
'1 > The weather wet and wild,
Two hours before the dawning
The father reused his child;
Her daily morsel bringing,
Thedarksome room he paced,
And cried, "The bell is ringing;
My hapless darling, haste'"
"Dear father, Pm so sorryl
scarce can reach the door:
And long the way and dreary;
Oh, carry me once morel"
Her wasted form seems nothing;
The load Is on his heart
He soothes the little sufferer,
TIL at the mill they part
q The overooker met her
AS to her frame she crept,
And with his thong he beat her,
And cursed her when she wept
Itseemed, as she grew weaker,
The threads the otener broke;
The rapid wheels ran quicker.
And heavier fell the stroke.
She thought how her dead mother
Blessed her with latest breath,
And of her little brother,
Worked down, like her, TO death:
Then told tiny neighbor
A ha-penny she'd pay
To take her last hours labor,
While ~ her frame she lay.
The sun had long descended
VI < J Ere she sought that repose; l-
Her day began and ended
As cruel tyrants chose.
Then hOmel but oft she tarrled;
She fell, and rose no more;
BY plying comrades carried,
She reached her fathers door.
Atnight, with tortured feeling,
He watched his sleepless child
Though close beside her kneellng,
She knew him not, nor smiled.
Again the factOry's ringing
Her last perceptions tried;
Up from her straw.bed sprlnging,
TITS tlmeI" she shrleked, and died.
That night chariot passed her,
While on the ground she lay;
The daughters Of her master
An evening visit pay.
Their tender hearts were signing.
AS negrOs wrongs were told,
While the Unite slave there was dying
Who gained their fathers gold,

THE KIND OF RELIGION WE WANT

We want'religion that sofIens the step and turns
the voice to melody and fills the eye with sun
shine, and checks the impatiet exclamation and
harsh rebuke; religion that is polite deferenial
to superors, Considerate to friends; religion that
goes into the family and keeps the husband from
being cross when dinner is late, and keeps the
wife from fretting when the husband tracks the
newly washed floor with his muddy boots, and
makes the husband mindful of the scraper and
the door-mat; keeps the mother patient when the
baby is cross, aud amuses the children as well as
instructs them caleS for the servants besides pay
ing them promptly projects the honey. y.moon into
the harvest moon, and makes the happy home
like the Eastern fig tree, bearing on Its bosom at
once the beauty of the tender blossom and the
glory ofthe rlpening fruit, We want a religion
that shall interpose between the ruts and gullles
and rocks Of the highway and the sensitive souls
that are travelling over them. ia.
