PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

1t IS vanity to seek after perishing
riches, and to trust them.
1t is vanity to desire to live long,
and not to care to live well.
Perfection is the point for which all
should steadily aim.
1t is vanity to strive after honors.
and to climb to high degree.
We are all frail, but dc ,9ou esteem
none more frail than thyself.
Next to love, sympathy is the di.
ylnest passion Of the human heart.
Il you wish to remove avarice vou
must remove its mother-Iuxsy.
Charity and personal force are the
only investments worth anything.
Many words do not satisfy the soul;
but a good life comforteth the mind
Who hath greater combat than he
tilat laboreth to overcome himself?
Recollection is the only paradise
from which we cannot be turned out.

ance.

The Fascination of the Cold Mines.

An old forty-niner says of gold hunt
ing: "It's the fascination of it Lor
man, when you've struck it pretty rich
and can see yer gold right in front Of
you; when you're piling it up every
half o the day, with a nugget now and
again as big as bullet to cheer you,
and then when the evenin' comes and
you count it up and find a hundred odd
dollars just picked out O the earth that
day-wel, there amt nothin' like it.
Then when you don't strike it rich you
always think you're goin' to next day,
an it's just as exciting hearin' other
men tell in the eyenin' what they pulled
out as it is countin' over your own
Why, I've been three and four months
at time without making dollar and
without a cent in my pocket; but gee
whitaker the excitement of it don
give a man twice to think how hard up
he is.

An Ancient Mexican Calendar.

OF all calendars to an inquiring and
curious mind, the oldest and most ina
teresting is probably that of the ancient
people of Mexico When disturbed by
the Spaniards, the Mexicans Though
cruel cannibals) were developing civil
ization. Their picture writing was
/ passing into the condition Of phonetic
o-A15 Ssfo hositssa u 4sssssNxssss s.tss
Egyptian stage. The Mexican calea-
dar depended on the combination Of
numbers with pictorial signs A rabbit,
reed, flint and a house were the
chief and most frequently recurring
pictures. They had a cycle Of fifty-two
years, and Mr.. Taylor observes that
their calendar may be illustrated with
modern pack of cards, laid out in
rotation of the four suits. In the
ordinary calendar periods of twenty
days had names like our months. and
each day was a rabbit day, reed day
flint day, or house day. The ritual
calendar was different and much more
complicated, and the curious thing is
that it resembles the queer calendars
OF Central and Eastern Asiatic peoples.
Among Mongols, Thibetans, Chinese
series of signs are combined in much
the same way to reckon years, months
and days. The Mongols have cycIe
of sixty years, recorded by a sort Of
zodiac Of twelve slgns-mouse, bull,
tiger, and so forth. Fire EARTH iron,
wood and water are combined in rota-
tion with these and instead of calling
this year of grace 1884, the Mongol
perhaps calls it male, fire, bull year
for the notions Of male and female
come as copiously into this system as
into the Vedic ritual. Humboldt and
other authorities have inferred that the
Mexican calendar was carried over
from Asia with the Mexican ciyl1iza-
tion. But the minds of early men
work 50 much alike when dealing with
the same set of facts that even coinci-
dences as curious as these between the
Mongol and Mexican calendars may be
original and not borrowed People
may say that no two sets Of minds
would hit on the same extraordinary ;
complexities. But men do everything
first in a complex way simplicity only i
