THE PAINLEssNESS OF DEATH.
Painlessly we come, whence we know not

Painlessly we come, whence we know not
Painlessly we go, whittier we know not
From the earliest period of human
history death has been considered as
necessarily accompanied by pain; so
general is this belief, that the terms
"death agony, last struggle, ""pangs
of DEATH" etc., have been in almost uni
versal use in every age and under all
conditions OF society.
Nothing could he more erroneous !;
the truth is, pain and death seldom go
together-we mean the last moments
Of life. OF course, death may be pre-
coded by weeks or even months of ex-
IRENE suffering, as occurs during GER
tain incurable diseases.
Death itself Is physiological process,
and, like all other animal functions.
should be painless. -Popular Sciencs
Monthly.

THE USE OF WEALTH.

There are thousands of rich men who
are not skinhints, who have the reputa-
ton Of being so, because they have new
er been known to have done any special
good with their money. A man who is
worth $4,000 can do more to make him
self loved and respected by all with
whom he comes in contact by the judi
cious expenditure of $1,000 in charity
than by giving the whole $50, 900 after
he is dead. 1t seems as though it would
be mighty small consolation TO q million
Aire to leave money to some charitable
purpose after death, and be so confound.
ed dead that he couldn't see the smiles
Of happiness that his generosity had
created.
Suppose millionaire who has never
had kind word said of him except by
fawning hypocrites, who hope to get
some OF his money, should lay out q
beautiful park, worth S1,000,000, and
throw it open free to all, with walks,
drives, lakes, shade and everything
Don't you suppose, if he took drive
through it himself and saw thousands Of
people having a good time, and all look
ing their love and respect for him, that
his heart would be warmed up and that
his days would be heightened? Wouldn't
every look Of thanks be worth 81 900 to
the man who had so much money that it
made him round-shouldered2 Wouldn't
he have more pleasure than he would in

THE DOOM OF THE BISON.

That the American bison, or buffalo,
as it is more Familiarity termed, is
doomed to extinction in time is evident
but that this result will be ga necessary
evil" is generally acknowledged among
settlers in the far West. The vast
herds of bison that only o few years
since roamed over the Western plains
afforded wild sport and large income
to the hide-hunters but as an offset tc
this it should be remembered that the
buffalo is one of the chief sinews of wal

red man of buffalo, and no cannot, dur.

successful raid. From the bison he OBJ
tains his provision, robes, and covering.
Nothing so harassed aud weakened
Sitting Bull and his band, when driven
over the Canada border, as the absence
Of buffalo in that region. When the
last herds become finally annihilated,
nothing remains for the Indian but o
semi-civilized and agricultural life.
Holding this in view, the extinction Of
this huge nomad of the plains may be
looked forward to, if not with satisfac.

sportsman Of the land, and especially by
the frontierslnen who have suffered SC

other warlike tribes. At best the bison,
as a game animal, possesses merely the
qualities Of endurance, size and stub.

N Is very important said Colezidge
that truth should be put into iss proba
BILE shape in order that il may be be-
heved. am often accused Of being
Quaker, because I seldom give q direct
answer to sundry questions; but thai
arises from the incomplete manner in
which they are put to me. I am also
sometimes charged with e1aggerstine
facts; but my accusers seem TO be ig.
norant that truth is like an actor on the
stage, who requires q little rouge te
make him look natural by gaslight
The same rule applies TO everything,
said the dear old sophist If you aim al
target You have to calculate the dis.
lance and elevate your arrow to a Ger.
tain angle, otherwise it falls below the
mark. In like manner an orator, who
wishes to convince, must color his re-
cital to the capacity of his hearers. Az
intelligent preacher should, therefore,
accommodate his discourse to his con.
gregation, else he disgusts instead Of
convinces. When Whiteheld told
fashionable congregation, in one of his
sermons, that there were infants in he'll
not span long, they shuddered and
believed. At all events, they received
the horrible announcement in silence.
But when he preached the same doctrine
to the begrimed golfers Of Newcastle,
their human nature rose against it, and
they pelted him out Of town with Goals.
And yet it is evident the thing was as
true one day as another.
