night. Most parents can appreciate
these blessings. Here is an article
which works perfection and which
is harmless; for the sleep which it af.

Cure for Piles.
Piles arc frequently preceded by 3
sense of weight in the back, loins ana
lower part Of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose that he has
some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times, symp-
toms of Indigestion are present, fstu-
lency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture, like Precipitation, pro-
ducing very disagreeable Itching,
after getting warm, is common ct.
tendant. Kind, Bleeding and Itching

PEARLS OF THOuGHE.

What stumbling, ploaghing, digging
and narrowing are to the land-think-
ing, rejecting, and examining are to
the mind.
The history of every discovery, OF
every enterprise of b~enevolence. of
every reform, is the history of toll and
watching through long discourage
ments.
He who waits for an opportunity to
do much at once may breathe out his
life in idle wishes, and regret in the
last hour his useless intentions and
barren zeal.
IT'S q good rule in every journey to
provide some piece of liberal study to
rescue the hours which bad weather,
bad company and taverns steal from
the best economist.

tion are its powers of endurance. Ef-
forts. to be permanently useful, must

Consistency is an acquired habit,
and of slow growth. The conditions
necessary for its acquisition are right
and fixed principles of faith and NOR
ais, sincerity, simplicity, singleness Of
aim, contentment, high temper enough
not to be trifed with. honest pride,
temperance and fortitude. @
We admire the frugal man for his
frugality and the liberal man for his

man who unites them both in full and
equal measured Yet these two quali-
ties are perfectly consonant and har-
monious, aud each thrives better for
the presence of the other.
q Physical health is not a final end in
itself, but a very important means to
the development of character and life.
1t is u duty to seek health and to
prize it, not only for its own sake, but
for the possibilities it opens up to us
of expanding irto a higher manhood
than any in its power to bestow.

a silent MOps,

Among the "reminiscences OF the
war the following extract from an@in-
terview with an old Virginia Metho-
dist preacher is interesting:
"Yes, my house was full of your
generals last night. There was sheri-
dan, Humphreys, Meade, Custer, Ord.
and quite a number of others, and they
were alively set and full Of fun, and
all were quite jolly with the exception
of one officer whom 1 noticed sitting
in a corner smoking and taking but
little part in the sports in which the
rest were engaged. They all went out
of the house but this solitary, silent
man, and IS / was going out, he asked
me where the pump was, as he would
like to get a drink. On offering to get
him some water, he said: No, sir; L
am a younger nan than you, l will 60
myself, and as / passed out he cameup
behind me. When in about the mid
die of the hall my little granddaughter
came running toward me, but the 81
lent man, spreading out both arms,
caught her, taking her up fairly.
smothered with kisses, said: This re-
minds me of my little girl at home,
and makes me homesick.' To the
question. Where is your homer he re-
piled: Galena, ILL.,. but l have my
family at City Point, and am anxious
to get back to Them / said win you
permit me to ask your name, sir P
Certainly; my name is Grant Grant
exclaimed l; Gen. Grant and.I stood
there awe stricken and paralyzed with
establishment, while my heart went
out after this a | thought to
myself, here is a man whose name is
now in the mouth OF man, woman and
child, throughout the civilized world,
and yet withal he exhibits no emotion
and seems u~nconcerned and unmoved
until the little child reminds him of
his loved ones at home, and / fairly
broke down, as Gen. Grant had been
pictured out to us as a bloody butcher
and | had looked for a man looking as

1t was at one of these hydraulic
mines that the fugitive cat had found
friends; and as after several visits she
lay watching their operations, she
seemed to reason it all out in her own
mind that as soon as the great dirt
bank opposite her showed signs of Civ
ing way under the action of the water
forced against it, the men would rush
for shelter to the shanty near by, to
which. of course, she too would scam
per 10 escape the falling earth. So.

ing d cat dislikes SO much as water;
just watch your kitty shake her paws
when she steps into a puddle, and see
how Disguised she is il a drop Of
water falls on her nose or back. But
this Sierra Nevada pussy was a most
conscientious cat. She felt that it was
her duty TO make some sacrifice for
her friends, and SO, after thinking il
all over, she took her place right on

spite of occasional and most unwel-
come shoWer-baths, she would watch
for the first movement of the falling
bank, when away she would 60 like a
flash with all the miners at her heels
until they all reached the shelter of
the hut. So faithfully didsheperform
her self-imposed task that. iii u little

tion OF keeping one eye on the danger

&fa.aulat. Tree.

You will be astonished when / tell
you of a tree, the bark and leaves of
which are marked by nature with al
phabetic images in the language of
Thibet. 1t is called the tree of ten
thousand images" / will give you
the legend and the description of the
tree:
Far away in the dreary land Of Am
bo, apart of Thibet, is a green valley,
in which, in a Tartar tent, was born a
wonderful hey named Tsong-Kaba.
From his birth he had a long, white
beard, and flowing hair, and could
speak perfectly his native tongue.
His manners were majestic, and his
words were few but full of wisdom.
When he was three years old, he re-
solved to cut off his hair and live a
solitary life. So his mother shaved
his head, and threw his long, flowing
locks upon the ground outside their
tent door. From his hair sprang the
wonderful tree.
Tsong-Kaba lived many years, did
countless good deeds, and at last died.
But the tree which had grown from his
hair lived on, and they called it the
stree of the ten thousands images
and at last accounts, it was still alive,
and much care was taken of it. The
people built high walls of brick
around it, and an emperor of China
sheltered it beneath a silver dome.
Two French missionaries saw this
tree some years ago, and they say that
it seemed then to be very old. Ii was
not more than eight feet high; but
three men with o~utstretched arms
could scarcely reach around it's trunk.
The branches were very bushy, and
spread out just like plumes of feathers,
The leaves are always green, and the
wood, which was of a reddish tint, had
an odor like that of cinnamon. The
bark of the tree was marked with
many well formed symbols in the
Thlbetan language: alphabetic charac.
ters also appeared in a green color, on
every Leaf, some darker, some lighter,
than the leaf itself.
New all this seems marvellous, and
some Of it more than we can believe;
but the missionaries actually saw the
tree, and were fully convinced that the
marks upon it were Of natural growth.
