NOVEL READING as A DGssIPA.
TON.

There are millions of people in
England and millions in America,
and Almost millions in Australia, to
whose enjoyment of life novels are
almost as necessary IS food to their
life itself, everyone of when take
some credit to themselves for the
time they pass in reading" COM
plscently contrasting themselves
with 'idiers and those who are given
to the frivolilies of life. A vain
and foolish notion, for there is prob
ably no more insidious form of Iazi.
ness, no method of passing time more
absolutely void of exertion of any
kind, than novel reading as novels
are read by most of those for whom
they are written, As a child opens
its mouth aud has sugar plums put
into it, SO the ordinary novel>reader
sits quietly and thoughtlessly and
has a story poured through his eye
into his mind or into that what serves
him in that capacity. 1t is quite an
other spirit and with another purpose
that great works of Imagination are
by those who can appre.
ciate them. North american Re-

THE NATIONAL SOURCE.

1t is estimated that the annual
damages caused by the raVages of
insects and worms exceed $50, 000,
900 in the United States alone.
Truly an enormous loss ! Yet it sinks
into insigniticance when compared
with the ravages of that more terri
BILE Acourge, Consumption, which
annually sweeps hundreds of thous-
auds of human souls iuto eternity.
The causes of consumption are vari>
Gus, depending in every instance for
the development of the disease up
on the scrofulous diathesis, Or tenn
permanent Of the victim. Thus the
same cause which will produce in one
person an attack Of acute disease or
slight nervous prostrallon, will en-
gender consumption in a person OF
scrofulous habit That consumption
can be- cured by proper treatment
will be readily perceived when the
exact nature OF the disease Is under
stood, viz: the accumulation and
deposition Of scrofalons matter (tu.
bercles) in the lungs. obviously,
the principal remedies required are
| On a powerful alternative, or blood
purifier, to arrest the accumulstions
and also cleanse tbs blood of the
scrofulous matter, aud ~ mild ca,
hartic to expel the diseased matter
from the system. This course of
treatment. 10 conjunction with q
strict hygienic regime, has proved
the most successful method of curing
this disease. De. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and pleasant
Purgative Pellets are the best altera-
tive and cathartic remedies before
the public, and have been alone used
ia thousands of cases Of consumption
with the mos. marked eff .acy. Dr..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, at Baffalo,
N. Y, affords special and unequaled
advantages to consumptives, not only
possessing the best medical and by
gienic means of treatment, bat hag-
ing essential advantage Of being sit
uated 10 a climate where the inhabi
tants are notably free from this dis
ease.

MUSIC.

Sci nee advances, but science has
not discovered all the mysteries Of
nature, nor explained all discover

all there is Of God, nor explained all
revealed. Music is standing mys
terry, seemingly born Of Heaven and
recognized as the hArmonies Of De-

depth of the charming mysteryY The
following, perhaps, better satisfies
the soul than any other words utter

TUE SONS OLE GREAT MEN.

"Why the sons of great men are
seldom great" is perhaps not so much
owing to the want of father brain or
mother wit as to fathers influence
aud money. As necessity is the
mother of invention" so is she also
the promoter of success, and success
10 the undertaking lie often set down
for greatness. 1t might be asked
why are the sons OF rich men seldom
richR They may be rich, and often
are, if father made it, or inherited it,
and was able to keep it. But let
the rich father lose it, and not one
of those proud noble sons in hun
dred can make it again. The rea-
son ia plain in many cases, though
Ills said call men are not born to be
rich Even the plodder, if he
chances by industry and economy to
prosper, resolves that his Sons and
daughters shall not, like himself, be
brought up to labor, but they shall
be ladies and gentlemen shall have
finely furnished house, fine clothes
and fine company, and SO are raised
without industry or economy. The
old father aud m other slave on for a
few years, laying up for them, while
the young hopefuls wish they would
die and go to heaven that the estate
may be distributed After awhile
the old ones do die, but we don't
know about their going to heaven
but one thing we do know, the heirs
generally go to poverty.

A SALT MOUNTAIN.

A mass of 90 100000 tons of pure
solid, compact rock salt, located on
an Island 50 feet high, which rises
from miserable sea marsh on the
route from Brashear to New Iberia,
up the River Teche, Louisiana, is
one of the wonders of the world.
How this island, containing or 300
acres of excellent land, ever came
into existence in such locality, is
matter of conjecture. Vegetation is
prolific, and the scenery is beautiful
and varied. Here is an immense
bed of pure rock salt, whose extent
is yet ouly estimated, and scientific
men are puzzled.

SERMAN VS.. GRANT.

Washington Correspondence Hartford Times
Tohn Sherman makes no conceament
when talking with his intimate friends. of
his disgust over the attention that is paid
to Grant since his return to this country.
Some Of Shcrman's prominent adherents
are not as fearful Of the consequences as
Sherman is himself They say Grant can
be disposed OF, if by any means he can be
put back in the army on the retired list for
life; that such provision is all that Grant
desires, and that they are certain he would
accept it if it can be secured. If it cannot
be done, they admit that Grant is in Sher-
mans way, and will be troublesome factor
in the next Republican presidential conven.
ton. In the meantime Sherman will run
the country, as far as he can, in the inter-
ests OF his own boom, as against the move
ment set on foot and so admirably worked
up by Grant and his friends If Shermans
money ideas are the right ones he is sure to
win, as he does not allow Hayes or any
member of the cabinet to interfere with
him in the running N the treasury depart
