chances for the future. He informed us
that he was completely wasted in

his chances for getting well were about
equally divided. He il in good spirits,
In great pain. unbearably cross to his

A Romantic Reunion.

Loring, the Boston bookseller, tells a
very romantic story as follows: cat one
time I had prepared boxes of fancy paper
with fancy initial or pet name emboss-
ed on it, and put this up at dollar a
box, and advertised it widely. One day
I had an order from California, from a
Miss Susie =. The box was done up,
addressed to her and lay about here,
when young Englishman came in and
wanted to write letter. I gave him the
material and place, when his eyes
caught the address on this box.
octave you the order tnat came fol
that box OF paper?'" he asked.
ayes replied, its about some
where
"sWould you mind sending it up to
my hotel9 If it is what I think it is, ]
shall leave for California tonight
81 found it and sent it around and
heard no more about 1t for perhaps three
months, when one day the young man
with lady on his arm, walked in. 'Mr
Lor1ng, want to present you to my
wife, he said. I'VE could not leave this
country till we had thanked you for YOU
part In bringing us together The de
nouement vas quite romance. Ths
young man was the son of an aristrocrat
ic family, and the girl the daughter O.
a gardner. But love levels all distinc
tions, and the young man felt the girl
to be the chosen companion of his life
| To break off the attachment his fathe
had sent him to the Continent and dis
patched the gardner and his prett,
daughter to America, where the younl
man had followed them, ignorant o
their address, and at last finding l
through the chance of a box CT paper."

nation you'd throw of little. Do you

cents dozen is an awful price on those
peaches, considering how tight money is.

"Hardly."
"Aren't you an Episcopalian9"

Live for Something.

Thousands of men breathe, move, live,
pass off the stage OF life, and are heard
OF no more. Why9' They did not par
take of the good In the world, and none
were blessed by them; none could point to
them as the means of their redemp-
ton; not line they wrote, not word
they spoke could be recalled, and so
they persisted; their light went out in
darkness, and they were not remembered
more than insects of yesterday. Will
you thus live and die, oh man immortall
Live for somethingl Do good and leave
behind you monument OF virtue that
the storms Of time can never destroy.
Write your name by kindness, love and
mercy. on the hearts of thousands YOU
come in contact with year by year, and
you will never be forgotten. No, your
name, your deeds, will be as leeibie on
the hearts you leave behind as the stars
on the brow of the evening. Good deeds
will shine as brightly on the earth as
the stars Of heavenly. Ohalmsrs.

Words OF Wisdom.

It is easier for man to descend to
earth than to mount to heaven.
However laborious the life of the good,
it is less 50 than that of the bad.
Women cherish fashion because il re-
iuvenates them, or at least renews them.
True philosophy places US above hon
ors, but nothing places US above tho
ennui they cause.
Show me people whose trade is dis.
honest, and will show you people
whose religion Is sham.
Strong minds, like hardy evergreens,
are most verdant in winter, when feeble
ones, like tender summer plants, are
leafess.
There are truths which some men de-
spise because they have not examined,
and which they will not examine because
they despise.
Childhood often holds truth with its
feeble fingers, which the grasp of man :
hood cannot retain, which it is the pride
of utmost age to recover.
A good moral character is the first es-
sential in a man. 1t is, therefore, highly
important to endeavor not only to be
learned, Duf 70 be vlrtu0us.
To feel much for others and little for
ourselves, to restrain our selfish and to in.
dulge our benevolent affections, con.
stitute the perfection of human nature
The wisest man may be wiser to-day
than he was yesterday, and tomorrow
than he is to day. Total freedom from
change would imply total freedom from
error.
Many persans sigh for death when i
seems far of, but the inclination vanish
es when the boat upsets, or the LOGON Q
tive runs of the track, or the measles sc
in.
The utmost excellence at which hu
mainly can arrive, Is a constant and de
termined pursuit of virtue without re
gard to present dangers and advantages
Fortunate people seem to think tina
their less happy fellow-creatures ough
to suffer and die before them with d.
cency, as the romans used to requl1
their gladiators to do.
The action of the soul is oftener j
that which is felt and left unsaid, tina
| in that which is said In any converss
ton. 1t broods over every society, an
men unconsciously seek for it in eac
other.
: Mere bashfulness without merit
awkward; and merit without modest
t insolent. But modesty with merit hs

LOVED TOKENS.

How many Of us, with weary heart-ache,
Have put away something for mothers sake,
That we gently take out when sad and alone,
Recall when abe wore it, her look and her tone.
It may be the spectacles she once used to fold
On the brown-hdded Bible, worn and 80 old,
When her mild eyes grew tired OF reading
Truth,
She carefully taught In the days of our youth.
A half-fnished stocking, with needles there yet
The dear old white hands-can we ever forget?-
How they knit and they sewed for us long, long ago
Until LIES dream Is over. We cannot; oh, no!
Perchance tits her picture, or the old arm chair
Tender associations ever cling there.
Twas in 1t she sat when We chung to her lap,
And toyed with the hair meath her snowy lace cap.
By its side we have knet at the long days close,
And the words that were taught everyone knows
How many, wonder, since then, ere they sleep,
Have forgotten, 81 pray Thee my soul to keep"
How many have felt a sweet memorysscharm
Since then, gently leading from sorrow and harm.
In the desolate days that come to us all,
Thank God for the memory Loved Tokens recall.

Let i'm the Air.

"Every warm morning." says the

ton. A tight house not thoroughly

comes far more damp and deadly than
mud howell or a woodchuck's hole, be-
cause of the food that is being consumed
there, with no walls or earth to absorb
the effete matter of its combustion. The

How to Detect Unwholesome Tea

A correspondent writes .'Tea-
drinkers nowadays will do well to apply
the following simple test to the tea
purchased of their grocers. Turn out
the infused leaves, and, if they are
found a good brown color, with fair
substance, the tea will be wholesome
but. if the leaves are black and of rot
ten texture, with an oily appearance,
the tea will not be fit to drink. The
purer the tea, the more the distinctively
brown color Of the leaf strikes the at
tention. I am sorry to say that the
mixing that is frequently adopted by
the trade to reduce prices results in the
two kinds of leaves being supplied to-
gether. I need hardly add that it is i'm
portant to see that the leaves have the
serrated or saw-like edges, without
which no tea is genuine"
