Among all the disagreeable consequences

pure breath must be the most notifying

the mostinexcusible and offensive in socie;5 :
and yet the cause of it may easily be &c

SOZODONT. 1t purifes and sweetens the
breath. cools and refreshes the mouth, and

Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
it removes all unpleasant odors of the weed.

SIGNIFICANT MINING INDICATIONS
The Gold Hill Ne1rs of last evening publish

The Gold Hill Neans Of last evening publish
es the following On the situation:
Every indication At the north end of tn,
Comstock is that the barren Zone lying below
the second level Of the hoaanzas is there ahou
passed through, and that workings there ar.
now coming to third fertile belt.
| These barren zones have hitherto beer
strongly marked as have been the fertile belts
The courses of each have been traced almost
| from end to end of what is at present known
| as the Comstock The first fertile belt had
more bu. less valuable hnnanzas than the sec.
ond, and should the ratio of increase in tx.
| tent and richness hold good, the third will
yield untold wealth.
| Workings all along the lode have demon
strated that the barren space between the
second and third range of bonanzas greatly
exceeds that betweeI. the first and second.
| The vein itself is also broa,ier below the sec
ond line of bonanZss, yet loses none of its
valuable and promising characteristics. This
also leads I, the conclusion that the ore bodies
of the third range when found. will be larger
than those above
The preparations which have already been
| made ia secure ii continued supply of wood
and timber for the lode also at mis- TIM
significant. Like. the great shafts and ponder:

that there is. big prospect Cor work ahead.

Talking to God.

A few years ago, Dr. Leonard Bacon, the
venerable patriarch among Congregational
lists, was travelling with one of his sons in
the far interior of Asia on their way to the
ruins of ancient Nineveh. / believe it was
along the same path which the prophet
Jonah took ages ago to that famed city.
They had passed safely through many perils
along that dangerous road, and had crossed
a large river which intervened, and were pro-
ceeding on their way TO Nineveh. Sud
denly, they were met by band of robbers,
which roam that wild country, and who took
them captive, as prisoners, at the mercy of
these marauders. The little helpless cara
van was placed under the shade of large
tree to await their destiny or DOOM The
band of robbers we're few rods off, delib-
Grating on their fate The captivfs were in
momentary expectation of hearing the crack
of the gun whose balls would end their pill
grimage on earth, and they were anxiously
watching the looks and movements of the
robbers, who often turned their eager eyes
toward their victims. In these moments of
deadly peril their only resource was in the
power aud providence of God for protection.
They all kneeled down in the attitude of
prayer and looked up, and DIR. Bacon prayed
earnestly, while the robbers were watching.
"What are they doing ?" said the robbers
among themselves. The guide and inter
prefer of the caravan replied, "They are
talking to Godl I" The robbers, doubtless
influenced by divine power, thought it was
not best to shoot and kill persons who could
talk thus to God. The captive prisoners
were released and saved. DR.. Bacon and
his son faced about and made the best OF
their way back to Europe and to London,
where the writer of this met them at the
dinner table of an eminent American, and
heard from the lips of DIR. Bacon this ex.
citing narrative, which is now written with
some exactness) from the memory of by
gone Years.-Selected.

The Door.

The Chevalier Gerard de Kampis was
rich and very proud man. Soon after the
completion of his magnificent castle he
wished 10 have a house-warming, and ac-
cordingly all his great neighbors were invited
TO grand feast. At the conclusion OF the
sumptuous repast his guests made speech
after speech, in which the host was lauded
TO the skies, and told that he was the most
fortunate man alive. As the chevalier loved
fattery, we can imagine how proud and de-
lighted he was. One among the guests,
however, said nothing for a time. When
each man had made his speech, he made the
following singular observation upon the hap
piness of the host Sir Knight" he said,
"in order that your felicity should be com
plete you require but one thing, but that is
a very important item" "And what thing
is it 7" demanded the knight, opening wide
his eyes. zone of your doors must be
walled up" replied his guest. At this strange
rejoinder several guests began TO laugh, and
Gerald himself looked as much as to say,
"This man has gone mad" Wishing hoy
ever, to have the clue to the enigma, he con-
tinued, 4" But which door do you mean p he
demanded. al mean that through which
you will one day be carried to your grave" "
replied the other. These words struck both
guests and host, and made the latter reflect
most seriously. The proud man remem.
bered the vanity of all things earthly, and
from henceforward he no longer thought
only of the perishable treasures he had once
so gloried in. He was completely altered
only made use of his riches for good works
thus laying up for himself an eternal in

A Spring Thought from Bryant.

In this time of apple blossoms, read over
with pathetic interest note of Bryant's,
written little more than year before his
death, in which, speaking of some pictured
clusters sent him, he says: " They do not
exactly suit the last days of life's December,
but they agree charmingly with that new
spring-time of existence, my entrance to
which cannot be far off, aud where hope
to find the orchards of Paradise in full bios
SON." When such lover of woods and
fields and flowers, after lifetime of devo
tional feeling and thought, passes from them
all, the fancy comes that Nature herself
must feel the loss When before has the yel.
low violet bloomed without being remem-
bered by heart as childish in its love as it
was strong in its manhood In another letter
occurs this passage: "The yellow violet of
which you sent me a sample is not my violet,
which think is never found in your region,
though it sprinkled the floor of the forests
in the neighborhood in which was born as
soon as the snow melted from the ground."-

Mother,

Children, look into those eyes, listen to
that dear voice, notice the feelings of even
a single touch that is bestowed upon you by
that gentle hand Make much of it while
you have that most precious of all good gifts,
a loving mother. Read the unfathomable
love of those eyes, the deep anxiety of that
tone and look, however slight your pain. In
after life you may have friends, fond, DEAR
kind friends, but never will you have again
the inexpressible love and gentleness Law
ished upon you which none but mother
can bestow. Often do | sigh in my struggles
with the hard, uncaring world for the sweet,
deep security | felt when of an evening,
nesting in her bosom, listened to some
quiet tale, suitable TO my age, read in her
tender, untiring voice. Never can | forget
her sweet glances cast upon me when | ap-
peared asleep; never her kiss of peace at
night. Years have passed away since we
laid her beside my father in the old church
yard; yet still her voice whispers from the
grave, and her eyes watch over me, as / visit
spots long since hallowed to the name OF my
motherhood Macduidy.

The Necessity Of Plenty Of Sleep.

During every moment of consciousness
the brain is in activity. The peculiar pro-
cess of cerebration, whatever that may con-
sist of, is taking place; thought after
thought comes forth, nor can we help it. 1t
is only when the peculiar connection, or
chain of connection, of one brain cell with
another is broken aud consciousness fades
away into the dreamless land of perfect
sleep, that the brain j. at rest. In this
state it recuperates its exhausted energy and
power and stores them up for future need.
The period of wakefulness is one of con-
slant wear. Every thought is generated at
the expense of brain cells, which can be
fully replaced only by periods of properly
regulated sleep-if the brain, through over
stimulation, is not left to recuperate-its
energy becomes exhausted debility, disease
and finally disintegration, supervene. Hence
the story is almost always the same: For
weeks and months before the indications of
active insanity appear, the patient has been
anxious, worried and wakeful, not sleeping
more than four or five hours out of the
twenty-four. The poor brain, unable to dc
its constant work, begins to waver, to show
signs of weakness or alteration hallucina
tions or delusions hover around like floating
shadows in the air, until finally disease
comes and
"plants his siege
Against the mind, the which he pricks and wounds

Giving Ourselves.

1t was the custom among the young men
of Athens, who listened to the teaching of
Socrates, to bring some gift in gratitude for
his instruction. Gold and silver, and Jewels
worthy of the rank and wealth of the donor,
were common gifts. One morning after the
gifts had been presented, youth too poor
to bring an offering cast himself at the feet
of his teacher, while blush overspread his
manly face as he cried: 80 Socrates, give
myself to theel' There was murmur of
applause, showing that the whole-hearted,
wholesouled gift was appreciated. Shall
we not in like manner give ourselves wholly
to Christ all that we have, and all that we
are, to spend in his service--not only the
love of our hearts, but the labor of our
hands, and all we possess The apostle
Paul says, " And ye are not your own. For
We are bought with price, therefore glorify
God in your body and your spirit, which
are Gods" If we have not thus fully and
freely consecrated ourselves, let us follow the
example of the Athenan youth, and casting
ourselves at the feet of the Great Teacher,
cry, go Christ, give myself to thee"

No Debts.

We know preacher whose rule it is to go
in debt for nothing. Himself and wife have
a covenant that under no circumstances
sickness possibly excepted) will they ever
ask trust of any party whatsoever. This
brother has prospered on every field where
he has labored. At the beginning of the
year he states his policy, and the people ap-
preciate it and work up to it promptly.
There is no curse of debt hanging over the
preachers home. He faces every man free
as the morning sun. He owes no man any
thing but love. And somehow the people
all love that man who knows how to keep
clear of debts, duns, and the humiliation Of
confused finances. This brother, out of a
limited salary, and with group of health
full children, has even laid aside something
every year. He keeps COW, works gar
den, knows how to utilize pigs and chickens
as wholesome pastime, and enjoys making
all ends meet and overlap. He says Some
times have had but two dollars Of ready
money in the world;" but rather that and
health and liberty than hundred in scat
tered and clamorous debts.
