Logging In Nevada.

A chute is laid from the rivers brink up
the steep mountain TO the railroad, and
while we are telling it, the monster logs
are laundering, flying, leaping down the de-
clivity. They come with the speed OF a
thunderbolt and somewhat of its roar. A
track of smoke and fire follows them-fre
struck by the friction with the chute logs
They descend the seventeen hundred feet of
the chute in fourteen seconds. In doing so
they drop seven hundred feet perpendicu-
larly. They strike the deep water with a
report that can be heard a mile distant.
Logs fired from cannon could scarcely have
greater velocity than they have at the
foot of the chute. The average velocity is
ever one hundred feet in second through
out the entire distance, and at the instant
they leap from the mouth their speed is two
hundred feet per second. A sugar-pine log
sometimes weighs ten tons. What mis-
sile How the water is dashed into the air.
Like a grand plume of diamonds and rain
bows the feathery spray is hurled to the
height of one hundred feet. 1t forms the
grandest fountain ever beheld. How the
waters foam and seethe, and lash against
the shore One log having spent its force
by its mad plunge into the deep waters, had
floated so as to be at right angles with the
path of the descending monsters. The
mouth of the chute is, perhaps, fifteen feet
above the surface of the water. A huge
log, hurled from the chute, cleaves the air
and alights on the floating log. You know
how bullet glances; but can you imagine
saw-log glancing2 The end strikes with a
heavy shock, but glides quickly past for a
short distance, then with crash like the re.
verberation of artillery, the falling log
springs vertically into the air and with a
curve like rocket falls into the water a
long distance from the log it struck.-De-

Sunday and Sunday Papers.

No words can over-estimate the worth of
well-observed Sunday to a family or a
community and it is for this reason that
we feel bound to warn our friends against
the habit of receiving and reading one or
more of the Sunday newspapers published
in all our great cities. The extent to which
they are received and read is surprisingly
large-the Sunday editions of most leading
daily newspapers having become much more
profitable than those Of any other day in
the week. 1t is not because they are issued
on Sunday that they are mainly objectiona-
BILE, the work of making them being mostly
done before midnight of Saturday. Their
bad influence is found in the fact that they
are precisely as secular, in all respects, as
the weekly editions, and it is well known
that their Sunday advertising is heavier
than that of any other day in the week. Let
an average Sunday paper come regularly
into any family, to be read by parents and
children, and all conception of the sacred
ness of the day is impaired or lost at the
very beginning of it, The staple of these
papers is the news, business and amuse-
ments which crowd the six working days
of the week, and nothing is omitted which
goes to make up an average daily newspaper.
The temptations to think lightly of Sunday
were never so numerous or potent as now,
and it behooves Christian families to guard
their households against everything that
can demoralize just conceptions of the worth
of rightly-observed Sunday to the best in
terests of family, neighborhood, state and
nation.-Selected.

A Child's Heart.

The other day curious old woman, hav-
ing bundle in her hand, and walking with
painful effort, sat down on curb-stone to
rest. A group of three little ones, the old
est about nine, stopped in front of the old
woman, saying never word, but watching
her face. She smiled. Suddenly the smile
faded and corner of the old calico apron
went up TO wipe away tear Then the
eldest child asked care you sorry because
you haven't any children ?" oil had
children once, but they are all dead"
whispered the woman, sob in her throat.
"Im sorry" said the little girl, as her
chin quivered. ard give you one of my
little brothers, but | haven't got but two,
and don't believe I'd like to spare one."
"God bless you, child-bless you for
ever" sobbed the old woman, and for min
ute her face was buried in her apron. "But
I'll tell you what I'll do" seriously contin-
ued the child. "You may kiss us all once,
and if little Ben isn't afraid, you may kiss
him four times, for he is Just as sweet as
candy" Pedestrians who saw three we'll
dressed children put their arms around that
strange old woman's neck and kiss her, were
greatly puzzled. They didn't know the
hearts of children, and they didn't hear the
woman's words as she rose to go; 90 chill
dren, I'm only poor old woman, believing
I'd nothing to live for; but you've gave me
lighter heart than I've had for ten long
years. s."-PdnSy.

The Truest Education.

When our puritan forefathers trained
their children carefully in thorough knowl-
edge of the Bible because it was to them
"The word of God," they were giving their
children, unconsciously, perchance, some of
the most precious elements of liberal edu-
cation; they were giving their children
what they might have sought for in vain at
Oxford or Cambridge-an intimate ac-
quaintance with the highest thought of the
best minds the world has yet known. For,
even taking the Bible at the lowest estimate
at which it has yet been taken,-as simple
literature,-it is literature of the very high
est rank. Where shall we find sublimer
poetry than in the Psalms of Isaiah, or
grander drama than in Job, sweeter pathos
than in Ruth, aud the stories of the patri-
archal age, or truer heroism than in the rec
ord of Israel's sufferings? So our fore
fathers derived from the Bible the true cul-
ture which fills the mind with thoughts of
sweetest SAVIOR, giving it standards of taste
and conduct which might be staid and SOM
bre indeed, but yet could brook no contact
with things mean or ignoble or impure.
And thus, while the tone of society at large
could endure the ribaldries of a prurient
novelist the Puritan could enjoy his Para
disc Lost and Pilgrims Progress, and find
in them genuine relaxation and rest. The
youth of to-day, fresh from his college, and
his sister, finished at her establishment, able
to run through all the " Ologies," and chat
ter in half dozen languages, are often far
less cultured than the Scotch shepherd,
whose only companion in his solitude is his
Bible; for his mind is stored with the
brightest and purest images, his sympathies
enlarged and disciplined by contact with
the records of humanity in its noblest as
poets. Indeed, the latter not seldom shows
a delicacy of feeling, tact and power of
appreciating the sentiments of others, which
are attributes of the true gentleman while
the former, notwithstanding their encyclo-
pedic information, will often betray a lack
of interest in the highest elements of hu-
man life, want of sympathy for all which
surpasses their own narrow selves, that is
compatible only with the most vulgar type
of mind.-Selected.

Prayer.

Do not speculate and reason about prayer,
but pray, and rest your case with God. He
who moves you to pray has surely answer
provided in his own good way. Do not
question, do not hesitate, but pour out your
heart in prayer. His eyes are over the
righteous, his ear is open to their cry. The
young birds in their nests cry, and he feed
eth them are ye not much better than they
The young lions roar and seek their meat
from God, who provides for them in his own
way. Shall he not care for you and me
Provision is made for the body; if it wants
light it has an eye with which to get it; if
it wants knowledge, and food aud clothing,
it has a brain and hands and feet with which
to acquire them. He has not made the body
a prince and left the soul a beggar The
soul wants pardon and peace and comfort
and bread from heaven, and has no way but
to cry out for it. "Ask and ye shall receive,
seek aud ye shall find All heaven is
pledged to make that promise good. What
ever troubles come, whatever cares oppress,
whatever fears give anxiety-pray. "When
thou passest through the waters | will be
with thee, and through the rivers they shall
not overflow thee when thou walkest
through the fire thou shalt not be burned,
neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
For have redeemed thee, have called thee
10y my name, thou art mine. ."-Selected.

A Painters Idea OF his Art.

1t is not what can do myself, it is what
know | should try to do. Suppose ye
want to paint field Of ripe corn; will ye
get at it, do ye think, by sitting down and
pentin the stalks and the heads-ay, if ye
were to spend lifetime at it, and paint
fifty thousand of themY Ay and If We
painted hundred thousand OF them as like
as could be, ye'd be no nearer getting at
your corn-field For what ye have to paint
is what ye see and when ye look at a corn
field ye see nae single stalks at all, but a
great mass of gold, as it were, with a touch
of orange here, or paler yellow there, and a
wash of green where the land is wet, and
sometimes of warm red even, where the
stalks are mixed with weeds and ye are no
going to get that color either by chasing the
daylight out of the sky, and taking the thing
into room, and making clever bit of a
fuzzy sketch in gray and green and black.
That's easy-but it's no the corn.feld. Ay,
and there's more. Ye've got to paint more
than ye see. Ye've got to put just that
something into the corn-feld that will make

Forgiveness.

Forgiving love never tires. The disciples
need not have asked how many times they
were bound to forgive one who came seek
ing forgiveness; for the spirit which could
forgive once could not fail of forgiving sew
enty times seven if the opportunity were
offered. Divine love, and whatever love
partakes of or reflects the divine nature, is
as ready at the last as at the first TO rejoice
over the return of the erring. Good Bishop
Ellicott of Gloucester speaking, some time
ago, of the blessedness of welcoming chill
dren into the church fold, said; Bishops,
like other men, are sometimes tired, and
complain that they are overworked; but
you never heard bishop complain of being
overworked in the services of confirmation.
You never heard bishop say that he wished
there were fewer calls on him to administer
that rite to those who wanted to be counted
with the people of God" Aud so it might
be said by every one who is called to watch
for souls bishop, parent, teacher; there
may be firing in every other line, but not in
the line of forgiving,--not in the mission
OF welcoming back the wanderer. None
fear at any time TO turn with cry for for
giveness to Christ, or to the Christ.like.
This thought is beautifully phrased in these
lines from the pages of a contemporary
"No fathers house Is full,
Zen though there seems no resting place for morei
II one repentant child implore

"No mothers heart is fail.
Heart throbbings that no cheerful face can hide

The Kalser's Flower.

The Emperor William of Germany, it is
stated, is devotedly attached to the bach
elor's-button, which is indeed his favorite
flower. And it is accounted for from the
fact that when, after the battleof Friedland,
his mother fled with her sons, the carriage
lost wheel and had TO wait at the deserted
road side. The young princes, tired and
hungry, began to cry bitterly; on which
Queen Louise, to allay their grief, picked a
number of bachelor's-brttons growing in
the field next the hedge, and twined them
into wreaths, her tears falling the while.
But little William, it is said, seeing his
mothers grief, threw his arms about her
neck, and with boyish comfort soon brought
back her smiles. And now it is suggested
by sentimental writer that the kaiser sees
glttering on every bachelor's-button moth
ers tears.

DEspoNpENcY-Pure sadness may some
times be valuable experience to the soul,
but pure despondency never. Perhaps the
mind is never more incapable of seeing its
own wants and feeling its own obligations,
as when it is filled with dependency. There
is in it then a ceaseless agitation, bitter
ness, or an apathy, that makes it unimpres
sble, unteachable. Sad we may sometimes
be, but let us beware of dependency, for it
must always have it is the sheet anchor of
the soul. awe are saved by hope.

Dangerous Reading.

A story is told of a resident of Lexington,
Kentucky, who, being importuned to sub.
scribe for one of the daily papers Of that
city, consented to take it if the publisher
would send him the sheet blank. They
agreed, and it goes to him regularly un-
printed. He as regularly keeps it on file,
and pays for it with punctilious exactness
This is amusing, and at the same time
seriously suggestive. 1t may well be a
question whether most Of the secular papers,
which come into our homes, would not
"pay" better if they came in the imprinted
form preferred by the eccentric Kentuckian.
We begin to think that some of the most
dangerous reading is to be found in the
daily newspapers. With flaming headlines
and detailed particulars, these relate stories
of crime with every accompanying horror
sensationally told. Nothing worse, or more
depraving, than some portions Of our lead
ing and influential journals can possibly be
set before the eyes of boys and girls. And,
as if there were not enough of this filth to
be dragged out of our own cutters, one of
these papers,-which processes to be par
excellence the champion of morality, and is
accepted as such by very large proportion
Of our religious famlies,-is accustomed to
regale its readers from time to time with
letters from Paris, devoted mainly to cynical
aud minute detail of the worst social and
domestic scandals of that city. The fastidi-
Gus parent, who would not suffer aquestion-
able story-paper or novel to enter his dwell.
ing, is not alarmed when he sees his young
people absorbed in the sheet which brings
them the news of the day. Indeed, he
probably feels pleased when he observes
them thus engaged. Yet there is need of
espionage, since,-conducted as journalism
now is,--those newspapers have the largest
sale which tell in the most entertaining way
the stories of evil. Reading aloud in the
evening to the assembled group, father
can select those parts of the newspaper
which are profitable; and can lead the con.
versation to the great things which are
going on in the world. If this be too much
trouble, he can at least be guarded in his
choice of daily, and avoid those which
revel in the literature of the police court

TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious,
BRowN's IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head.
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.
