WHERE SHE DREW THE LINE.-A

"Yes, sir, believe / have"
"And you want to live a new life p

SOME COOP MAxIMs.-The man who
is always behind will have no follow.
ers.
When good resolution is formed
beware OF the tempter-he is then al.
ways nearest.
Glass not the idle among the living;
they are sort of dead men who can
be buried.
Charity obliges US not to distrust a
man; prudence not to trust him be-
fore we know him.
Retribution stands with uplifted
axe, and rank, and robes of sanctity
cannot stay its blow.
1t is the great art and philosophy
of life to make the best of the present
whether it be good or bad.
Power turns deaf ear to the re-
proaches of those who are without the
power of redressing their wrongs.
Rashness generally ends in folly and
shame. Young men are exhorted in
Scripture to be sober minded.
The darkest chapter in the nature
of man is the tendency to pull down
the reputation of his fellow man.
Take up one by one the plain, prac-
tical duties that lie nearest to hand
and perform them as fast as possible.
He who is false to present duty,
breaks a flaw in the loom, and will
find the flaw when he may have for
gotten its cause.
For a man to think that he is 90
ing to do the work of his life without
obstacles, is to dream in the lap oi
folly.
Be loving, and You will never want
for love. Be humble, and you will
never want for guidance.
One of the lessons which young peg
pie have to learn by experience is the
power of deeds and words.
There is no short cut to excellence.
In every department of human
achievement superiority is based upon
, toll, and success is reached only by
effort.
If men would spend in doing good
to others quarter of the time and
money they spend in doing harm to
themselves, misery would vanish from
the earth.
1t takes four things to be gentle
man-you must be a gentleman in
your principles, a gentleman in your
tastes, a gentleman in your manners,
and a gentleman in your person.
If there is anything which even a
very clever young man ought to con-
gratulats himself on, it is the knowl-
edge early acquired, that he isn't a
genius. For if he thinks otherwise
the chances Gre that the mistake may
spoil him.

Tanned Fabrics.
Scientific American.


The Chronique Industrielle states
that Mr.. III. j. Piron has recently
invented process of rendering fabrics
impermeable and preventing their rot
ting, without interfering with their soft
ness or increasing their weight. The
porcess he calls tanning"
1t is we'll known that the bandages
that surround the heads of Egyptian
mummies are always found to be
remarkably well preserved. Now, this
is due TO the fact that they have been
impregnated with some sort of resin.
Mr.. Piron thought, then, that in order
to preserve vegetable fibers it would
be necessary to have recourse to the
vegetable kingdom, and he therefore
turned his researches in this direction.
OF all the products that he tried, the
one to which he gave preference was
that which is extracted from birch
bark, and which serves for perfuming
Russia leather. When birch bark is
distilled there is obtained a light OIL
one quarter of which consists of a pecu-
liar phenol, and this latter is what
communicates that well-known agreea-
BILE odor to to the above named leather.
1t results from recent Investigations
that the green tar of birch contains
neither acid nor alkaloid. This tar
forms with alcohol a solution which is at
first fluid, but one which when once
dried, resinified, becomes proof against
the action of alcohol. This solution
unites with tie most brilliant colors.

closed forever. In the afternoon the
Burial Service at Sea-" that most sol
emn of sea scenes, was performed
and the shrouded body of the pirate
with a gentle plunge, broke the CLASSY
surface of the ocean, and sank swiftly
to the mysterious depths.
1t was many hours afterward that
my grandfather bethought himself OF
the paper in his pocket. He opened 1t
and read as follows:
Captain Lane: On the eastern point
of Nantucket, at high water mark, is n
tall, sharp cliff. A quarter league due
west from that cliff is large, round
stone, and near the stone thorn-bush.
That bush grows in very rich soil. !"
The duties of his station kept my
grandfather a long time abroad, and
when he was in Boston about two years
afterward, and having a few days of
leisure, he was thinking about acting
upon the hint of the enigmatical paper,
when his eye happened to fall on the
following paragraph in the old Boston
Messenger:
WONDERFUL DIsCovERY.-As Mr.. John
Rogers was breaking piece Of pasture ground
on the east shore OF Nantucket about month
ago, his ploughshare turned up stout thorn
bush, sticking TO the roots of which Mr..
Rogers spied several Spanish dollars. Upon
this he went to digging Justify, and did not
give up till he had hauled out coins, chiefly
Spanish doubloons, Of more than S23,OOO value

father, as he put down the paper with
a slight nervousness. In week he
was again facing the storms of the
ocean, enriching his employers by hi'
skill and toll, till infrmities drove him
high and dry on shore. There in due
time he died of old age, leaving little
to his family except the pirates cutlass
which three generations of boys have
used in their juvenile trainings" anC
