A WELL ALWAYS FULL OF Ice.
About half a mile from Browns
vile, Mimi, is a natural ice we'll.
On visiting it, says correspon-
dent, we found q shaft about
twenty feet deep, and we could
plainly SEQ ice in it. We then
visited shaft few feet distant,
and Immediately upon entering it
a cloud of steam, caused by the
cold air coming in contact with
our heated bodies, rushed forth.
This shaft was exca7ated for the
purpose of ascertaining if possible
the cause of the ice forming in
the we'll, some Of the inhabitants
believing in the theory Of large
cave being connected with it. At
ter reaching the depth OF 100
feet without result drifting was
abandoned. Before the shaft was
made it is claimed that the we'll
filed with ice to within six feet
of the top. A thermonter marked
80 degrees Fahrenheit. About
six feet back from the mouth of
the tunnel the floor and sides are
in many places covered with ice.
A strong current Of air constant
ly flows from the excavation that
is very perceptible 100 feet dis
tant. With the thermometer at
80 degrees an atmosphere below
the freezing point is pleasant to
contemplate, even though dan
gerous to investigate.

LOST TIME.-If you would make
the best use Of your time, look
after the minutes. Keep strict
account of every hour Of your
time for a single week, setting
down the exact manner in which
every hour is spent, and see
whether, whea you come to re-
view the record, you do not find it
full of admonition and instruc-
tion. In this simple way one can
readily understand the secret Of
his want of time. He will discover
that he has given hours TO idle
talk, to indolence and to inconsid-
cradle trifes, which have yielded
him neither profit nor pleasure.
What is the remedy? Arrange
your work in the order of it's COM
parative Importance. Attend first
to the things which are essential
to be done, and let the unessentials
take their chance afterward. The
difference in the amount Of work
accomplished will be astonishing.

WASHING AWAY THE EARTH

WASHING AWAY THE EARTH
! No particle of sand which goes
; down into the sea ever comes
back. Yet the particles leave the
! surface of the earth every second
and are carried, suspended in the
waters Of more than twenty
thousand rivers, out into the
oceans. There are more than u
hundred streams, classed on the
maps as rivers, in Louisiana alone.
Each one of these has several
hundred creeks, brooks and spring
branches tributary to it. Each
brook or spring branch, with
its countless rivulets, clasps the
bilIsides and drags down the sur
faces thereof-down into the
brooks-down into the creeks
down into the rivers-down into
the ocean. An; there the atoms
rest patiently ; each atom waiting
for its sisters and its cousins
and its aunts still lingering in
the fields and on the hills, yet
creeping toward the gullies and
thence to the sea. This process
has been going on since the time
when the world was without
form and void > whereby the priu
eval rocks were disintegrated and
spread abroad in fertile fields :;
whereby the fertile fields are
slowly being washed back into
the oceans; whereby the bottom
of the oceans is being prepared to
be elevated again to the light and
to form other fields whereon cot
ton and wheaton something or
other will grow. This is the
very apotheosis Of 'demnition
grind He who originated that
phrase spoke more scientifically
than be knew. Life, animate and
inanimate, is simply q grinding
down of the higher parts and the
distribution thereof in the hol-
lows. The final outcome Of earth,
after millions of years, must be
something in the nature ola large
billiard ball whirling through the
sky, with nothing in the world on
it except smooth, dead surface.

LoAFINe.-Does the young man
who persists in being a Ioafer ever
reflect how much less it would
cost to be decent, respectable
man Does he imagine that
loaferism is more economical than
gentiIity ? Anybody can be gen
tleman, if he chooses to be, with
out much cost, but it is mighty
expensive being q loafer. 1t costs
time, in the first place, days.,
weeks and months Of it; in fact,
about all the time be has, for no
man can be a first class loafer.
without devoting his whole time
to it. The occupation, we'll fol-
lowed, hardly affords time for eat

said drinking, but on reflection,
we will. except that. The loafer
finds time to drink whenever IL
vited, at the cost of friends. Once

every friendly sail that sails under
a. honest and legitimate flag.
Your consorts will only be the
buccaneers Of society. It costs
money, for, though the loafer may
not earn a cent or have one for
months, the time lost might have
procured him much money, if de-
voted to industry instead Of sloth.
1t costs health, vigor, comfort, all
the true pleasures of living, honor.

JOB PRINTING

A JUDGE OF CHARAcTER.-A few
of the broad distinctions of ply
siognomy depend on the forms of
the features, but all it's nicer
shades have far more to do with
expressions and in this, indeed,
the real character is often seen
where the conformation Of the
features seem to contradict it.
There are some general and we'll
known rules for the determina-
tion of pbysiognonlical character,
as far as it has to do with the
shapes Of the fertures the aqui-
line nose and eye, for instance, be-
long to the heroic class, thick lips
to the sensual, and thin to the
selfish yet these may all be liable
to many exceptions-the first GER
tainly are; for Nelson, Wolfe,
Turenne, and many other heroes
bad nothing Of the eagle physi-
ognomy. It is natural to associate
beauty with goodness and ugli-
ness with wickedness and chill
dren generally do this. But an
acquaintance with the world soon
shows US that bad and selfish
hearts may be concealed under
the handsomest features, and the
highest virtues under the home-
liest; and that goodness may even
consist With conformations of
face actually ugly. We then be-
gin to look for the character in
the expression rather than in the
forms Of the features, and to dis
tinguish assumed expressions from
natural ones; and so we 60 on,
and, as we grow older, become
better pbysioguomists, though we
never arrive at the certainty Of
judgment which seems not to hs
intended we ever should. z

The human heart is like q mill
stone in a mill when you put the
wheat under it. it turns and grinds
and bruises the wheat into -four.
If you put no wheat in, it still
grinds on, but then it is itself it
gri1ds, and slowly wears away.

To emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake;

The mobiles of ali ages,
Whose deeds crown history's pages,
And times great yolune make.

When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
