The ACME OF DEL1cAcY.-A gentleman
travelling in Virginia last summer had occa-
sion to take stage ride in order to visit the
natural bridge. Riding on the seat with the
driver he fell into conversation with him, and
found that he was an old hunter, who was a
veteran in killing deer, bears and smaller
game Passing a stream the traveller in
quired if they contained fish.
Lots on en-" was the reply.
"What kind p
mostly trout" said the driver. Call
these mountain streams are full Of trout"
They must be fine eating,' was the next
remark.
Fine eatin' !" exclaimed the driver. "Y ou
just get up to the mountains and ketch half a
dozen trout about twelve inches long, clean
'em without washin' 'em, rub in some salt,
roll em in Injin meal and bake 'em in the
ashes-good eatin' why stranger, by heav-
ems, they beat log!'

THINGS MONEY CAN'T DO.

Some boys and girls have an idea that
money can do almost anything, but this is a
mistake. Money, it is true, can do great
deal, but it cannot do everything. could
name you thousand things it cannot buy.
1t was meant for good, and it is good thing
to have, but all this depends on how it is used.
If used wrongly, it is an injury, rather than
benefit. Beyond all doubt, however, there
are many things better than it is, and which it
cannot purchase, no matter how much we
may have of it. 49,.
If a man has not good education, all his
money will never buy it for him. He can
scarcely ever make up for his early waste of
opportunities. He may say, as | have heard
of men saying: II would give all | have if l
had only had good education and we'll
trained mind )" but he will say it in vain.
His money alone can't obtain it.
Neither will wealth itself give man or a
woman, good manners. Nothing, next to
good morals and good health, is of more i'm.
portance than easy, graceful, self possessed
manners. But they can't be had for mere
money.
A man who is what is called "shoddy,"
who has not taste and correct manners will
never buy them-though he would, no doubt
like it. They are not to be had in the mar
ket. They are nowhere for sale. You might
as we'll try to buy sky, or cloud, or sunbeams.
Money can't purchase a good conscience
If poor man, or boy, or gIrl.any one,
has clear conscience that gives df tone
like sound bell when touched by the ham,
NOR then he sure he is vastly richer than the
millionaire who does not possess such con-
science. Good principles are better than
gold. All the gold of Golconda couldn't
buy them for a man who hasn't them already.

PRESERVING THE BALANcE.-Old Captain
Stanley, who lives down in the middle Of
Kentucky, was good old Hardshell Baptist,
who occasionally would tell story at the ex-
pense Of some of the other brethren. Many
years ago they were not so conspicuously cr,
thodox on the ten perance question as they
are in our time. "On one OCCASION" said the
captain, "the brethren down in my region
were abou. to have grand church gathering
and all the faithful in the neighborhood were
expected to exert themselves to entertain, suit.

Two of my neighbors met each other just be.

TEMPERANCE AND SLEEP-The one prin-
ciple of health, which may be fairly described
as fundamental and universal, is temperance
temperance in the pursuit of pleasure, in ex-
citement, in speech, in thought, and, above
all, in worry, which kills oftener, and far
more surely than work. Next to temperance
comes sleep. Shakespeare and Young antci-
pated the conclusions of modern hygiene when
they described sleep-the former as '.the chief
nourisher in life's feast" and the latter as
Natures sweet restorer." insufficient sleep
is probably the most frequent cause ofnervous
failure; and certainly, when the failure has
come, sleep opens the surest avenue to recove.
~. Then, indeed, too much sleep can hardly
be taken for, as in infancy, the recuperative
powers seem to work only during sleep.

A M1sER.-Lorc Barco, an ancestor of the
Earl of Fife, was remarkable for practicing
that celebrated rule: Get all you can, and
keep all you can get" One day walking
down the avenue from his house he saw a
farthing lying at his feet, which he carefully
cleaned. A beggar passing at the same time
entreated his lordship to give him the farthing,
saying it was not worth nobleman's atten-
tion. Fin farthng to yoursel', puir body"
replied his lordship, and carefully put the
coin in his breeches pocket. In addition to
being his own FART ing finder his lordship was
bis own factor and rent collector. A tenant
who called upon n. to pay his rent happen.
ed to be deficient farthing. This amount
would not be excused, and the farmer had to
pay the farthing. When the business was
adjusted the countryman said to his lordship
"Now, Barco, would gle ye shllin' fer a
sight O a the goud and siller ye hae." J"
"Weel, mon," he replied, "it's no cost ye ony
mair," and accordingly for, and in considera.
ton of, the aforesaid sum, in hand first, we'll
and truly paid, his lordship exhibited several
iron boxes filled with gold and silver coin.
"Now," says the farmer, "I'm as rich as your
SELL" "Ay, mon," said his lordship, chow
can that b." Because I've seen it, and
YOU can do no mair."

wound, apply a wad of cobweb; or else a

If, however, the blood spurts out, it is evil
dence that an artery has been severed. If

EGGS IN CASE OF TRoUBLE.-The white
of an egg is said to be specific for fish bones
sticking in the throat. 1t is to be swallowed
raw, and will carry down bone easily and
certainly. There is another fact touching
eggs which it will be we'll to remember.
When, as sometimes by accident, corrosive
subimate is swallowed, the white of one or
two eggs taken will neutralize the poison and
change the effect to that of dose Of calomel.

to the amazcment and terror of Its numer-
Gus spectators. The two huge rhnoceroses
quartered in the elephant house had been
amusing themselves for some minutes with
some unusually rough play on the turf of
the enclosure surrounding three sides of
that magnificent building, when suddenly
they quarrelled, exchanged snorting def
ance, and, lowering their formidable horned
snouts, rushed upon one another with such,
fury that the larger of the two rent his op
ponents tough hide open as though it had
been silken jeikln, himself rolling over
on his back from the mere force of the
concuesion. Both combatants struggled
to their feet and renewed the fight With
undimlshed vigor. For some time all tho
efforts of the keepers to separate them
were in vain; but at length the more DOW
erlul rhlnocer3s, seemingly conscious that
he had tho best of the hitting, turned
scornfully away from his bleeding foe, and
dashed at the iron door of the clcpl,anl
house, which he succeeded in dislolping
from it's sliding grooves with one mighty
thrust of his frontal horn. Having achieved
this amazing fcat, he trotted, grnnting
