aS~ The Bible teaches US that I'm six days
the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that in them is" but some wise men
have found out that this is mistake They
have discovered that the Lord was many
thousand years in making the world. 1t
would not be at all surprising that some wiser
men than these would find out that the Lord
did not make the world at all but that it
made itself. Vain man he would be wiser
than his Maker.

A HINT TO MILKMEN--A Dutchman who
had made handsome fortune in Philadel phia
by selling milk, started off for Holland, his
home, with two bags of gold pieces. When
on board he counted one bag of his treasure.
A mischevous monkey chanced to watch his
operations. AS soon as the counted bag had
been replaced and tied up, Jocko seized it.,
and soon found his way to the masthead.
He opened the bag, and after cycling the bril-
liant gold, proceeded to drop one piece on the
deck and another in the water, until he had
emptied the bag. When he had finished the
Dutchman threw up his arms, exclaiging /:
"By Jinkes, he must be de dwell, for vat
come from de water he does gibe to de water,
and vat comes from de milk he does gibe to
me-"

SAVING TIME.-A clergyman, who enjoys
the substantial benefits Of fine farm, was
slightly taken down, few days ago, by his
Irish plowman, who was sitting at his plow,
in tobacco field, resting his horse. The rev.
erend gentleman, being great economist
said with great seriousness-"John, wouldn't
it be good plan for you to have stub scythe
here and be hubbing few bushes along the
fence while the horse is resting?' John, with
quite as serious a countenance as the divine
wore himself, replied: "Would it not be we'll,
sir, for you to have tub O potatoes in the
pulpit, and when they are singing, to peel 'em
awhile to be ready for the pot?" The rever-
end gentleman laughed heartily and left.

ssg 1t seems that one of the principles up
on which the human family act, is that when
one of their number starts down hill, all
must give him kick and thus hasten his
ruin. This is brutal Many an unfortunate
man has been bounded down. In an evil
hour he sinned, heinously it may be, but is
this any reason why all the community should
pounce upon him ? 1t is often the case that
those who are most active in completing his
ruin, are far greater sinners than he.

ACCUMULATION OF "EAR.WAx. "--Dr.
James Patterson Cassels states that the block.
ing up of the ear with wax, caused more or
less complete deafness in 70 out of 500 cases,
coming under his observation, and that these
accumulations arise. from many causes, chief
among them being the habit of oVer-cleanll
ness which possesses some persons, and by
which they are induced to make attempts to
clean out the canal of the ear by such means
as the point of wet towel, bent hair-pins,
and sometimes even common pins and match
es; the circumstances of such persons not en-
abing them to use the more aristocratic Eau
ralave," concern ug which he says that no in
strument has been introduced Of late years SO
we'll adapted to cause accumulation of wax
in the ear On the other hand, smaller pro-
portion of cases were due to other causes,
such as diseases or deformity. Deep probing
of the ear is eminently injurious and should
never be INDUCED in. The proper time to at.
tend to these accumulations is sensation OF
tickling at the orifce of the ear, which causes
one involuntarily to carry his 6nger-tip to it
and twirl it in the ori6ce, with the result OF
bringing away greater or less quantity OF
wax Glasgow Medical Journal.

sas- There are in the Church as we'll as in
the State, some men who are very pleasant so
long as they are permitted to direct every en-
terprse and enjoy all the honors; but so soon
as some one else undertakes to direct, they
are off at a right angle. A good man rarely
becomes insulted because he sees some one
manifesting lively interest in the cause
which he himself is laboring to advance
Benedict Arnold was good soldier so long
as he was permitted to do as he pleased; but
when he was restricted he turned traitor.

a9- No doubt there are some men who 81
lence the voice of conscience by rejecting
that they are not as heinous sinners as some
men whose names are mentioned in the Bible
we're. This, no doubt, is true. David was
certainly great sinner, but the sinful con-
duct of David was source Of no comfort,
but great grief to him. Whoever expects to
live life of sin and be happy, is badly mis-
taken. We are commanded to follow not
David or Paul, but Jesus Christ.

mg- Whoever is striving to enter heaven
alone, must repent or he will certainly never
get there. One evidence of true religion, is
that its possessor is anxious that all others
share its blessings. A selfish Christian is
contradiction. In fact, it is impossible to
90 alone either to heaven or hell. Either we
are the instruments in the hands of the Holy
Spirit in saving some one in heaven, or we
are the tools in the hands of the devil in
dragging some one down to the pit Of woe.

AGE OF FowIs.-The age of the domestic
cock varies from seven to ten years. They
have been known to live longer than this
Button, indeed, asserts that they may reach
twenty years; but, unfortunately for them,
we have no interest in preserving their life
for any longer time and it is only by some
rare accident they are allowed to die of old
age. Aged fowls are readily recognized by
their listlessnes, the few eggs they lay, the
great length of the period of moulting, the
length of the spurs, which are also found on
the females, as we'll as the disposition to crow,
and the roughness Of the feet and combs

sa- Those who make the greatest noise, are
not always those who do the most work. The
drones in bee hive are noisy fellows, but
they gather no honey. Those who are con.
tinually devising plans, are generally idlers.
God commands US to 60 into his vineyard and
work. He proposes to do all-the planning.
By his providence, he suggests to each man
what he must do. If all the planners would
become workers, the cause of Jesus Christ
would be in a more fourishing condition.

pa 1t is notorious fact that our sympathies
for the benighted heather, in lands far away,
are at least apparently far greater than they
are for the poor benighted heatben within a
stones cast of our door. This is plain con.
tradiction of the proverb, "Charity begins at
home" Strange as it may sound, there are
not few persons who are kind and obliging to
their neighbors, but unfeeling monsters toward
those bound to them by the tenderest ties.
ssg~ A life of carnal pleasure is not a life of
piety. Carnal pleasure has direct tendency
to brutalize man. 1t degrades the soul. Pi-
ETY. has direct tendency to elevate man.
1t raises him above the brute and allies him
with pure spiritual existence. If happiness
consists in gratifying the bodily appetites,
then man, instead of being superior to a
dumb animal, is far its inferior.
sa5- The mercy of God must be very great,
and his long suffering marvellous. He feeds
and clothes and bestows health and strength

ton his name With decent respect. 1t is pain
full to hear how irreverently many use the
name of Him from whom cometh down every
good and perfect gift. Surely, God is deserv-
ing of decent respect.

ROAD ETIQUErrE-Perhaps there is good
reason in despisiag some Of the rules of et-
quette imposed 10y fashionable society. If d
man wishes to eat his mashed potatoes with
his knife, or prefers to pour his hot coffee into
saucer rather than to burn his throat, we
are willing he should have his liberty. But
there are some things no man has rig hit to do,
and that no well-bred man will wish to do.
No man will wish to put his fork into anoth.
er's plate, or drink from another's cup. IT
two men sleep i'll the same bed, and one of
them crowds the other to the rail, he is called
hog. Now, there are certain rules of good
breeding that apply to the road as we'll as to
the table and fireside. We are not talking
about any laws in regard to the road, other
than the laws Of common sense and good
breeding. When two teams meet, good breed
ing requires that each give half of the road.
Yet we often meet those who refuse to obey
this simple rule, because they have the ad-
vantage at the time. A man with heavy
lumber wagon has no more right to crowd
light carriage or buggy into the ruts or bush
es than burly lubber would have to force
his weaker bed.fellow to sleep on the rail. 1t
some popularity in his lead requires him to
keep the track, he can stop his team and po'
litely ask for it, and thank the other for CIV
ing it. When a person wishes to pass anoth'
er on dusty road, he should ask the prlvl-
lege of doing so, especially if there is lady
in the forward wagon. When the forward
team finds that his own team travels slower
than the other, he should hold his horses to
their slowest pace till the other passes. A
man has no more right, under these circum,
stances, to whip his. slow team just to keep
the other in the rear, than he has to build a
fence across the public highway.

aeg- If we will wear foot-coverings, whether
boots or stockings, which compress the feet
and render the separate action of each toe
impossible, it is simply absurd to expect to be
warm-footed. Heat is the complement Of
work and nutrition and if part Of the or.
ganism is so bound that it cannot work, and
its supply of blood is limited, it must be cold.
The resort to stouter and heavier clothing un
der such circumstances is simply ridiculous
Generally, it is the stockings that compress
the feet. The garter acts as ligature, and
diminishes the supply of blood, while the
stocking itself acts as a bandage, and i'm
pedes the circulation through the extremity.
Let any one who doubts this try the effect of
wearing what is called a "well-6tting" that
is, tight-kid glove in cold weather. Hard,
unyielding foot cases, such as stout boots with
no space for the toes to play and no spring
for the natural action of the arch of the foot
increases the evil The first conditions Of
warmth are, therefore, free actien and full
blood.supp.y.

Rar All true Christians are striving to effect
the same thing. The object of their faith is
the same, and they are all animated by the
same spirit. There is only one Christ, by
whom all must be redeemed but one Holy
Spirit, by whom all must be sanctifed and
made fit for Heaven but one Bible, by which
all must be instructed in the way of life; and
only one New Jerusalem, the everlasting
home of all the redeemed and sancti6ed.
However much true believers may differ now,
the time will come when all will see eye to eye.

An exchange says "Bathe your eyes daily

cause smarting sensation. Nothing is more
strengthening, and we have known several
persons, who, after using this simple tonic for
few weeks, had put aside the spectacles they
had used for years, and did not resume them,
continuing, of course, the oft-repeated daily
use of salt water. Never force your eyesight
to read or work in insufficient or too broad

THE BERN BANK RAILROAD.-The ex-

railroad track from Alexandria to Georgetown.
has long offered inducements for railroad pur-
poses, which it is surprising have not been util-
lied. This track is the BERN bank of the Alex
andia canal. The tow-path bank only is needed
for the working of the canal, while the other
side. nine-mie level. though essential to the
construction, is not needed for the working of
the canal. Itwould have been utilized when
tine Wash. & Alex. RR. was first built but Mr..
French who obtained the charter of that road,
proposed to make a surface-liDe railway without
grades. The plan afterward proved impractical

then chosen. The BERN Bank RR. Cos charter
was granted some years ago to be the Virginia

How a Brave Georgia boy Rescued q

on his plantation near Harmony Grove a few
days ago: While his three little boys were
standing i'm the yard large hawk swooped
down aud flew away with chicken i'm his tai
ons. The boys. thinking that his majesty might
drop the chicken, followed him some dis
lance, when to their delight they saw
him drop his prey As soon this hap
pened the hawk commenced crcling around
where the boys and chicken were congre-
gated, and finally lighted on the eldest boy, who
was ten years old. and fastened one talon in the
boys chin. The second son went TO the rescue.
when the hawk caught him on the arm with the
other talon. thus holding both the boys at his
mercy. The third and Youngest seeing the per-
ilous situation of his brothers. drew his knife.
went TO work and succeeded i'm cutting the
hawk from his brothers and killing him. The
taons were shown this reporter by the father
