THE NEWLY FOUND SOURCE
OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

This is a sparkling little gem OF
lake situated above and beyond Lake
Itasca. 1t nestles among the pines
of an unfrequented and wild region
of Minnesota, many miles from the
nearest white settlement and just on
the dividing ridge which forms the
great watershed of North America.
Within a few miles of it can be found
lakes and streams whose waters are
tributary to the Red river of the
North and the Yellowstone, thus
reaching the sea thousands of miles
from the mouth of the mighty Miss
issippi, which flows in a trickling
brook from Lake Glazier. This lake.
discovered to be the true source of
the greatest river of North America
by Capt. Willard Glazier, on the 22d
of July, 1881, is about a mile and a
half in greatest diameter and would
be nearly round in shape but for a
single promontory, whose rocky
shores give it in outline the shape of
q heart. The waters Of the lake are
exceedingly clear and pure, coming
from springs, some being at the bot
tom, but the three most prominent
rise a few miles back in low, wet
land and flow into the lake in little
rills. On the very point of the prom
ontory is spring whose waters are
as GOLD as Toe and at which Capt.
Glaciers weary party slaked their
thirst while exploring the shores of
the new lake. So lonely is the re-
gion around the lake that for four
teen days not even red-skin was
seen, and wearied by the hardships
of this rough country, yet with a
feeling of having added something
to geographical knowledge, Capt.
Glazier and his party were glad to
come into contact again with their
fellow creatures. Philadelphia Times.

THE SPIDERS APPETITE.

1t is not everybody who knows
how much spider can eat. Most
of us have derived amusement, and
perhaps instruction, from watching
the subtle arrangements and devices
of the little tactician with view to
capture some dainty little insect,
and many of us would know exactly
where to place this interesting Great
ure in the classification of animal
life, but probably very few of US
have any idea what voracious
gourmand the spider is. A gentle
man, scientifically inclined and lux
uriating In the rare possession of lei
sure, has recently given to the world
some very curious and startling
statements in regard to the arachnei-
dean appetite. He captured a spider
and kept it in confinement, supply
ing it liberallS with food, and care
fully recording his observations. He
estimated that the creature ate four
times its weight for breakfast, nine
times its weight for dinner, thirteen
times its weight for supper, finishing
up with an ounce of food. In the
same proportion, a man of average
weight would demolish an OK for
breakfast, two more for dinner, a
couple of bulloeks. eight sheep, and
four pigs for supper, and then hun
dred weight of fish to prepare the
way for an aldermanic banquet be-
fore retiring to bed. = Christian

PERFECT TRUST.

We nave seldom seen the idea of
perfect trust better illustrated than
in the following touching incident of
a little daughters trust in her father.
They were travelling together, and in
order to reach their home it was nec-
essary for them to travel all night.
When it became too dark for them
to look out of the windows and the
lamps were lighted inside. the father
laid aside his little girls hat, and,
spreading out cloaks and shawls,
said, ssNow we will rest ~ But lit
tie troubled face peered out upon the
strange scene, mist was gathering
in those blue eyes and the CHEEKY
tone of voice changed to a very
plaintive one as she asked:
"Father, how can we 60 to bed
here?''
'Srbis is your bed, darling he
said, drawing her to his heart, ssand
warm one you will find it," And
then he tucked her in so carefully,
that, in place of what had been lit
tie girl, there seemed only a great
bundle of shawls. But every now
and then there was movement in
side the bundle, and voice would
say, "Oh, father, | am afraid to 60
to sleep here!' Then the father re-
minded her that he was taking care
of her and would do so all night. So
at last soothed by this assurance and
worn out by unwonted fatigue, she
fell asleep. When she opened her
eyes again. after what seemed to her
only a few moments, the sun was
shining brightly. The train stopped,
and there, just in sight, was her own
home. She could even see her dear
mother standing in the open door,
with arms outstretched, to welcome
back her loved ones. Then first
meeting was too full Of joy for many
words TO be spoken, but after those
close embraces and warm kisses were
over, the mother asked, 'sAnd SO my
little girl has been travelling all night ?
Did she find it long and weary
timer
.'Ol, no. mother, not at ali l had
such a good sleep, and father watch
ed over me all night Only think OF
| it! All night, mother, he watched
over me AT first | was afraid to 60
to sleep in that strange place; but
he told me to lean against him and
shut my eyes and rest easily, for he
would stay awake and take care of
me. So | crept close TO him. and,
before I knew it, | was really and
truly sound asleep; and dear father
stayed awake and took care of me all
night. How ] do love him for it -
Then the mother, with love-light
beaming from her eyes, told her child
of that heavenly Father who watches
over each of his children, not only
one, but every night of their lives.
And the words she spoke were so i'm
pressed upon Elias mind that, tho
grown to womanhood now, she still
remembers them, and never lies
down to sleep without the glad feel
ing, "My Father will awake to watch
over me-" And her first thoughts on
waking to the beauties of the morn
ing light are of the dear Father in
heaven, whose loving care has made
her rest so safely.

The golden number is so called be-
cause it was formerly written on the
calendar in letters of gold. 1t is
the number reckoned from one to
nineteen, showing what year in the
lunar or metonic cycle any given
year is. The epact of any year is
the excess of the solar above the lu-
mar year, the former consisting of
365 days and the latter 354. The
epaet of any year is the number of
days from the last new moon to the
old year to the first day of the fol-
lowing January. The dominical let
ters are those which denote the Sun
days, or dies dominica.

Waiting.

From dawn to nightfail, at her window sitting,
She waits, while drift the heavy hours away;
And like the swallows all her thoughts 60 fitting
To that sweet South wherein they fain would stay,
Up from the street there comes the lazy laughter
Of girls who linger by the fountains fall;
She heeds them not; her gaze still follows after
The clouds that roll beyond the city wall.
She vaguely hears her mothers fretful chiding,
Her idle wheel grows dusty at her side;
Listless she wonders where her love is biding;
Where'er he be there must her heart abide.
All the day long she listens for his coming,
All the long day she dreams Of one dear face;
She hears his whisper in the bees low humming,
She feels his kisses in the winds embrace.
Lonely she dreams while the warm sunshine fingers
Upon the cavern angels of her chair;
Alone sits sobbing, while with silver fingers
The moonbeams thread her soft, unbraided hair.
All, heavy heart! so passionate its yearning;
She needs must know that all her peace is DER;
That eager pain meath her white bosom burning,
Tells her tits gone, TO enter there no more.
But once to feel, unchecked, his fond caressing!
One wild, sweet hour, close to his heart to press!
There her thought stops; what else of blessing
The great world holds she does not care to guess.
Still at her window dreaming, longing, weeping,
While to their mates the gray doves coo and call,
She leans and watches the slow clouds go creeping
Far down the blue. beyond the city wall.

MANNER AND IT'S INFLUENCE
Many person who has nothing but
q sweet manner TO recommend him,
is remarkably popular among his fell
lows. Suave people seldom 60 out
of their way to help friend in DIS
tress, but they have a smile for ev-
erybody, which costs nothing. They
lubricate the path of their pilgrimage
with soft words. II they feel obliged
to decline doing the favor which you
ask of them-aud this they are pref
ty sure To tlo-they refuse with such
grace that they seem 10 be confer
ring an honor upon you. Others are
unpopular. simply because of their
want of manner. They may be just
and generous, but they are not al
ways careful TO confer favors with
gentleness and amenity. Those
whom they aid do not love them any
better for their gifts. They never
give unless they are satisfied that the
gift is needed and will be rightly
used. They never give merely be-
cause they are asked to give. They
do not make a parade of their gifts,
because they are not liberal for the
sake of making themselves popular.
They are far better friends than the
first named class, but they are not
nearly as we'll beloved.
1t is grave mistake to suppose
that economy is abstaining from the
useful and proper expenditure of
money. While we should avoid ex-
travagance on the one hand we should
not suffer ourselves to run into the
opposite extreme and become parsi-
monious and deny ourselves all pleas
ures and enjoyments. True econo-
my consists in wise application of
the means at our disposal. The
grange that refuses 10 heautify its
hall OF place of meeting when abun-
dainty able 10 do so is not practicing
economy, hut exhibiting parsi.
monious spirit that should not be
cultivated. II is not true economy
to shorten the school term and en-
pioy low salaried teachers, thus de-
priving the youth of the community
of the best intellectual advantages.
1t is not true economy to feed the
body and starve the mind. Many q
parsimonioUs spirit conceals its de-
formity under the guise of economy.
AS wisdom is defined to he the right
use of knowledge, so economy may
be defined to be the right use of mon
ey. 1t is not economy for man to
starve and impoverish his land in Or
der to save the expense of purchas-
ing fertilizers Such economy, in
stead of enriching, ultimately beg
gars those who practice it. Remem-
ber economy is not parsimony, tho
