woman Of that town, named Mrs. Edward

A Famous Guide.

Pike, the famous guide of the Yosem
lite valley, has recently run down to San
Francisco for the first time in twenty
six years. He was born in Tennessee,
but crossed the plains soon after the dis
covery of gold, being one of the few sur
vivors of the i'll fated party that first at
tempted theperilous passage of the Death
valley route. He was an associate of
Pegleg Smith, who amputated his own
leg with hunting KIN ife, taking up the
arteries and dressing the stump without
assistance. This operation was neces-
sary inasmuch as he had received n
wound from poisoned arrow in Skin
mish with Indians, and illustrated an
important operation now familiar to ev-
cry college student that of saving ones
own leg off, short. Pike first visited the
Yosemite in 1852, the year after its dis
covery by white men, and he has re-
manned in these mountain solitudes ever
since, this beng his first excursion. Dur
ing recent years he has purs led the oc-
cupaton of guide with thrift and profit.
In ascending Mount Whitney, however,
he contracted bronchial affection and
lost his voice so that he cannot now
speak above a whisper. He has been
commissioned by hotel proprietors in
Yosemite to visit Oregon for the pur-
pose Of procuring new varieties Of plants
and trees for the valley.

Trust in Humanity.

This trust of one in another is beau
tiful one. 1t holds the sweet chrism OF
heart peace. The broad, generous trust
in all around you--the true, hearty,
whole souled friendship that admits OF
no suspicion, though 50 often met and
repaid only by falsity and deception
brings it's own reward, in the repose of
mind, and keeps the soul young aud
fresh after the years of youth and fresh
ness have faded.
To doubt and distrust the world is to
rob.life of all that is loveliest and best
and most worth living for, is to narrow
your views and fetter the expansion Of
mind and soul. In your skepticism you
may resent honest friendship and true
love through the fear that behind it is
hid false motive that would work you
i'll In this you may save yourself some
times deception, but only to bring you
perpetual unrest and disquiet.
We are all creatures Of the self same
God-and with all the vileness, all the
sinfulness and falseness of which hui
mainly is capable there isstillmuch that
is good, true and beautiful to be loved,
trusted and admired. There is, amid all
the great rabble OF wrong-doers, many
a heart Of unspotted truthf,llness, and
many hand that is outstretched in
good, honest, sincere friendship. We
generally find what We most diligently
seek, and if we look for nothing but
falsity, we find that, and if we strive to
overlook the false, and see only what is
good and true, we will find enough of
that to make our spirits sweet and our
hearts peaceful enough to help us to
the performance of kind acts, that may
be set down to our commentator among
the recorded deeds of life.
Many heart has broken, and life
wasted under the sting-suspicion, or
merged from pure truthfulness into
foul falsity under the whitening influ-
ences-doubt and distrust. Though
your generous confidence may sometimes
be betrayed, yet that were infinitely bet
ter than to accuse the innocent, or mar
your heart repose by distrust. And, too,
if YOU trust and be deceived, you will
have the consolation of having been true
yourself, of having your heart unscathed
by falsehood.
There is many bitter drop i'll the
wine of life-many thorn among the
fairest roses that bloom along life's way,
but often they are of our own distilling
and our own planting. And distrust is
a drop that will embitter your whole
being, and thorn that will ankle in
your flesh for lifetime.

The Craters in the Moon.

Since Calico first turned telescope
upon the moon, the lunar craters have
been among the wonders and mysteries
of astronomy. 1t is not merely or even
chiefly the vast size Of some of these
objects which excites establishment. In
deed, it might almost he inferred from
what we know of the moons size and
general structure that her volcanic ener-
gies would be more effective, though no
greater, than those of our own earth.
The really surprising characteristic of
the lunar surface is the amazing number
OF the lunar cravers. Even Calico
though with his weak telescope, could
see but few Of the craters which really
exist in the moon, compared those III the
southwestern part OF the moons disk to
the eyes in a peacocks tail. With each
increase of telescope power, more and
supposed to be comparatively smooth
have been found, on closer scrutiny with
higher powers or under more favorable
conditions. TO be covered with minute
craters. The slopes of the larger craters,
even in some cases their floors, have
been found to be strewn with small era
ter shaped depressions. In fine, almost
the whole surface of the moon may be
said to be pitted with depressions of all
sizes, from mighty CULTS 800 or 400
miles across, down to minute saucer
shaped shadows, such as only the most
powerful telescopes will reveal.-Bei-

Our Neighbor's Good Name.

Anybody can soil the reputation Of an
individual, however pure and chaste, by
u..ering a suspicion that his enemies will
believe and his friends never hear Of. A
puff Of the idle can take million Of the
seeds OF thistle and DO work OF mis-
chief which the husbandman must labor
long to undo; the floating particles are
too fine to be seen and too light to be
stopped. Such are the seeds OF Islander,
so easily sown, so dficult TO be gathered
up, and yet SO pernicious in their fruits.
The slandercr knows tina. many wind
will catch up the plague and become
poisoned by his insinuations. without ever
seeking the antidote. No reputation can
refute a sneer. nor any human skill pre-
vent mischief.

POINTED SHoEs.-A great beau of the
time of William Rufus, called Robert
the Horned, wore shoes with large sharp
points, suited with tow, and twisted i'll
a spiral form. This fashion took the
fancy of the people of that day i'm
mensely, and the points went on increas-
ing yearly until the reign of Richard
H., when they had to be tied to the
knees of the wearer to save him from
being encountered in walking. This ty-
ing or fastening, in the case of gentle
men was by chains Of silver or silver or
silver gilt. In Chaucer's time the upper
part of these shoes was cut to initiate Il
church window. The rank of the wearer
in those days was known by the length
Of his poulaines. "The men, says Par
adm, 'wore them with a point before,
half foot long; the richer and more
eminent personsges wore them foot,
and princes two feet long BY an act
of the reign Of Edward ". the absurd
lengths to which these points had at
tanned was limited; and no one under
the rank Of lord was to wear shoes
more than 10 inches long, and all cob
blcrs making them were to be fined and
cursed 10y the clergy. All the Year
Round.
