A shaking Rock.

A CORES pondent writes from CrA"-

noints of interest here is an eccsnirc
frcak of nature known as Shaking Rock,

cannot better describe 1t than by saying
il is the oldest thing ever saw. In the
rear OF the home of The late Governor
G,lmer is a huge boulder stan ling by
itself op the edge Of a stream. Upon
this boulder Is placed another rock,
weighing about twenty tors. 1t rests
on a pinnacle not two feet 'quare. So
evsnly il is balanced that the slightest
touch will cause it to rock, and yet a
hundred horses could not pull it from
its socket. There it has stood for years
subjected to wind aud storm unmoved,
a silent monument of the 20 yer ot The
Creator.

PAYING DEBTS. .-One OF our re-

strong remarks on this subject. They
drive The nail TO the head and clinch 1t:
Men may sophlslicate how they please
They can never make It right, aud all
the iniqutous laws in the universe can
not make II right for them not to pay
their debts. There is sin IN this
neglect as clear and as deserving church
discipline as is stealing or false swear
ing. He who violates his promise 10
pay, or wllhholds the payment OF a
debt when 1t is IN bis power 10 meet

A True Blessing.


1t would indeed he blessing to poor
weak. nervous, debilitated, suffering hui
manity, if druggists would stop selling the
many vile purgative pills and eathartic
compounds advertised for the cure of liver
complaint. Although they afford temporary
relief, at the same time they weaken the
digestive organs, and compel continued
and increasing use Of the same. Sufferers
from dyspepsia and liver complaint do not
need cathartic, but should use some true
medicinal tonic that will strengthen the
digestive organs, and heal the diseased
tissues Of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Such remedy is Browns Iron Bitters, and
it never fails to affect a permanent cure.
If you continue to live in poor health, and
are determined to die before your time, you
have only yourself to blame.-Courier.

A French journal recommends fire
test for determining the quality of seeds.
Samples are placed one at a time upon
live Goals. If the combustion is slow and
quiet, it may be safely decided that the
seed contained a diseased germ; but if
the seed turns and leaps about producing
dry sound, it may be inferred to have
good germinative qualities. The good
quality of larger seeds, such as acorns
and chestnuts, will be indicated by a
detonation of the seed soon after being
thrown into the fire.

Prof. Nordenskjold during his Arctic
voyages was perplexed by the question,
what becomes of the bodies of animals
which die a natural death. He very

that Oh Spitzbergen it was easier to find

the bones of the seal, walrus or bird OF
the present day. The problem is yet
unsolved.

A FAREWELL.

Come not to my grave with your MORNINGS
With your Lamentations and tears,
With your sad forebodings and fears:
When my lips are dumb,
Do not come!
Bring no long train of carriages,
No hearse crowned with waving plumes,
Which the guant glory Of Death iilumes
But with hands on my breast
Let me rest.
If, in my fair youthtimc, attended
By hope and delight every day,
could spurn the sweet baseness of clay,
Can you honor me, try
Till you diol
Insult not my dust with your pity,
Ye who're left on this desolate shore,
Still to suffer and lose and deplore-
NTis l should, as do,
Pity you!
For me no more are the hardships,
The bitterness, heartaches and strife,
The sadness and sorrow of life,
But the glory divine
This is mine!
Poor creatures! Afraid of the darkness,
Who groan at the anguish to come,
How silent go to my home!
Cease your sorrowtul bell:
/ am well!
