How Elephants Multiply.

The elephants re,of all know ami
mails, the slowest to increase in
numbers. At the earliest the fc-
male elephant does not become a
parent until the age Of thirty years,
and only six young are capable OF
being produced during the Paren
tai period, which appears TO cease
at ninety years of age, the average
duration of elephant life being pre-
sumcd TO be about hundred years.
But 1t is most interesting, rs well
as important, in view Of any spccu-
lation Of the increase Of species, TO
reflect that, given favorable condi-
tions Of existence, the elephant
race. slow Of increase as 10 is, would
come in a few thousand years to
stock the entire world with its huge
representatives On the data ar
fogdcd by the foregoing details OF
the age mt which these animals pro
duce young and of their parental
period, 10 is easy 20 calculate that
in some TAO years, 100000 Gle
plants would remain 20 represent
natural population. If such con
tingcncy awaits even n slowly in
creasing race, such as the elephants
unquestionably are, the powerful
nature Of the adverse conditions
which have ousted their kith and
kin from a place among living quad
rupeds can readily be conceived.

Strong in Emergencies.

OGce, in a very sudden and try
ing emergency, a friend of Stone
wall jackson was surprised to see
how quietly and quickly the
thoughts of the great chieftain
turned to God-how surely and Sc
renely on the rock that was higher
than he.
How is it, said his friend, after
wards, chow is it general, that you
can turn at once and with such
seeming ease and naturalness TO
God, and in surroundings SO start
ling-how is it you can repOse with
such composure and peace upon
his goodness and mercy under cir
cumstances so unprOpitious for
prayer"
The prompt reply Of that faithful
soldier made plain the secret Of his
sublime composure in the midst of
the most trying and terrific emer
gepcies. What had seemed so mar
velous and even mysterious TO his
friend, became clear and satisfacto-
ry as the fact that the effect fol
lows cause, or that habit rules the
spirit and controls the conduct. His
reply showed, what his life proved,
that great as Stonewall Jackson
was as a soldier Of his country, he
was greater still rs an humble sol
dior of the cross.
Said he, chad it been the first
time in my life that | called upon
the Lord, it would not have been so
easy so natural to place myself in his
hauds; the way to the throne of
grace would not have been so plain
so pleasant and smooth. But 1T
has long been my habit TO look to
our Heavenly Father in prayer and
| faith-to look 10 Him in sunshine
and cloud, for comfort and strength
and guidance. So that now il is as
natural TO me TO turn TO Him in
time Of trouble as it is for a soldier
to answer to his name at roll call
When a child walks by his ia
theirs side the slightest fear will
make him look up into his fathers
face, and when calamity comes, he
climbs into his fathers arms.
1t was this habit Of faith and
trust that enabled the greatest sol
der Of the war between the states,
to triumph over the the fear Of
death and TO remain serene in trials
however sudden and severe. IL was
his sublime, childlike faith in God
that has left upon his name and
fame, a glory the ages cannot dim.

Useless Education.

Old Ned's son returned from col
lege the other day. The old man
had arranged a dinner, to which he
invited a number of acquaintance.
The young man was modest, and to
the great humiliation of his father
made no attempt to display his
learning. The old man waited sew
eral days and when at last he saw
no evidences Of his sons education,
he approached him and said:
Jim, it do seem ter me dat yer's

The Curse Of Bribery.

The Rev. Robert Collyer of the
church of the Messiah, in New
York, on the 22d ult., preached a
sermon on bride takers. He first
told the story of the sons of Sam
uel, Judge of Israel, who when
Samuel grew old acted in his stead,
but not like their father, for they
took brides and perverted judg
ment. The people grew FESTIVE I'M
der this misrule and clamored for
King. Samuel had democratic
spirit and showed the people the
evils that would follow in the train
of a monarchy. The speaker ar
gued that it was not the form of
their government that was at fault,
but the misapplcation of its princi-
pies by the wicked sons of Samuel,
whom he had put into office and
kept there, Notwithstanding their
wrong-dOing.
From this point Mr.. Collyar went
on to show that a great deal of the
lack of confidence in our public and
private officials springs from the
widespread curse of bribery, which
shoots its roots and fibres through
out our whole common life. 1t is
carried on by our great corporations
grain spectators, stock waterers,
and those who get up corners in the
necessaries of life as well as big Of
fice-seekers, and it infeSts the whole
public service. Some are content to
be bribed with drinks all round,
some with money, and some with
places they are incompetent to fill.
The roots of the evil extend under
ground from the commonest ward
meeting to the White House, Wash
ington. The peril besets the whole
nation.
Notwithstanding the general
prevalence of bride taking, the min
lister said he was not one of those
who were disheartened with the form
of government. He did not ask for
monarchy. He believed that
God intended to make this gov
eminent the grandest on earth. 1t
will not break down." he continued.
Its founders and those VINO VIII
perpetuate it come of the stock that
don't break down. There is no ne
cessity for changing the government
and it will not be changed. People
of Saxon grit, as we are, have nev
er yet gone backwar' The MN
ist5r said the demand Tor clNI ser
vice reform was resulting bench
cially. A new light is dawning up
on the country, and that Saxon
crit which has had the courage Il
resist this tide of evil, and that Il
manifesting itself all over the coun
try in opposition to the bosses an'
their crooked methods will give u
a more splendid manhood and a no
bier government. God speed tn
| day.

Where They Coma From.

If we study the early history of
our successful Legislators, or prac-
teal business men, or our deepest
thinkers, or our most lovable wo-
men, almost invariably it will be
found they started on some beauti-
full and well-Ordered farm. They
came not, however, from the unit
dy or slOvenly-managed tract of
land called a farm. They come not
from the farm whose owner spends
his time in town smoking poor eli
gars around saloons, while the boys
are at home running wild of grow
ing sour and cross because nothing
goes right. The girls come not
from that household where gaudy
jewelry or fashy apparel are the
main ambition, instead Of studying
to beautify their homes and linn
prove their minds. If the girls and
boys on the farm ignore as unwor
thy their eXertion such things as
planting trees, shrubs and flowers,
or in various ways identifying
their homes, but are intent only
III Ohbl dpplhS GuSlI letter, OF
their "gal," such farm residences
will seldom be represented in the
honorable of the future.
The farms which good and great
men and noble women come from
are such generally as in after
life they look back to with pleas
ure and satisfaction. A man who
cannot manage farm need not ex-
pect to be the progenitor of a noble
race. They are not the kind.
There need be but few mistakes in
his world, if one only keeps his
eyes open and his judgment I'M
orejndiced. Nobility of character
,annOt be hid. 1t stands boldly
,ut in every field OF life.
