A Still Tongue.

A silent man is generally the saf
est adviser he thinks before he
speaks, and weighs well his words.
Some men are as ready with their
opinions as a hungry man for din
ner; all that is required is the oppor-
tunity to air them. Others are SO
voluble they tell all they know about
their own business, and their neigh
bors' as well. Generally, you can
take the measure of an inveterate
talker, as it's wind and froth. On
the other hand, the man who holds
his tongue is not easily fathomed.
"Still waters run deep" with but
little noise and friction, while the
shadows foam and fret with constant
tumult.
As rule, the silent man is meth
odical, painstaking, careful. He
weighs his words and pounds accur-
ately. In business he makes no fuss
or parade; he transacts it, however
with diligence and prudence. Brag
and vanity are twins; together they,
were borne, and together they will
die.
Conceit and boasting are poor
elements in trade; airs put on as
soon as little money is made usu-
ally have a chill. Boosting Of big
profits and speedy fortune to every
listener shows lack of good sense
and sound Judgment. Men have
been hung on their own testimony,
and merchants have failed from too
much tongue.

A TERRIBLE PERIL.

Over fifty years have passed since
we moved from Vermont to the
southern part of New York (said
plain-looking gentleman, dressed in
homespun, as he sat before the
warm fire, year or two since, relat-
ing stories of his early life to an ca
ger group of friends), and great
changes have since taken place.
The region about here was at that
time almost an unbroken wilder
ness a few settlers were moving in
occasionally and at remote dis
tances the little columns of blue
smoke, curling silently above the
tree-tops, revealed the spots where
their humble cabins stood. The In
dian had passed on 10 his undis-
turbed hunting ground, in the far
West, many years previous: but the
deer aud bear remained, and the
silence of night was often broken by
the howl of the wolf and the scream
Of the panther.
| was nineteen then, tough and
healthy, as young men Of the bor-
der generally are, and felt myself
capable of doing Il mans work at
almost anything. The first summer
we cleared some five or six acres,
enclosed it with pole and log fence
and sowcd "A fine field of wheat. On
the approach Of autumn we under
bushed several acres more, and when
winter set in we felt satisfied that
we had made good use of our time
and done a good summers work.
Christmas we decided to observe
as II holiday. At an early houi
some four or five young men were
congregated in the little yard il
front of our rude cabin, prepared fol
a days fishing at the Sand Lake.
! The morning was delightful. No

The Bell of Justice

1t is a beautiful story that in one
OF the old cities of Italy the King
caused bell to be hung in a tower in
one of the public squares, and call
ed it the "Bell of Justice" !" and com
manded that any one who had been
wronged should go and ring thebell.
and so call the magistrate of thecitv.
and ask and receive justice. And
when, in the course of time the
lower end of the bell rope rotted
away, a wild vine was tied TO
lengthen it; and one day an old and
starving horse that had been aband-
oned by its owner and turned ont
to die, wandered into the tower. and
IN trying to eat the vine rang the
bell. And the magistrate of the c;,,,
coming to see who rang the he'll
found this old and starving horse.
caused the man in whose service bo
mad toiled and been worn out. to he
summoned before him; and deereed
that as the poor horse had rune the
BEL OF Justice he should hayeiustice.
and during the remainder Of ~
horses life his owner should provide
Tor him proper food and drink and
stable. ~

past;
The crops We're stored safely in bins,
stacks and mows;
Around the great barn swept the snow
landed blast
Within, warm and cosy, the solemn eyed
COWS
And fat, well eroomed horses stood
munching their hay
Or doing the slow hours of winter away
All day had the .featherly flakes fallen fast
Till highlands and lowlands were hid
den from view
Beneath the white shroud cold and
cheerless and vast,
That lay over all. Still the light crystals
flew
As night settled down then the wind
rose amain
And roared DER the chimney and ratified
the pane,
And shrieked at each crcvice and tossed
the light snow
In swift-whirling eddies, Till round the
old manse--
With quaint, gambrel roof and its porch
wide and low
A legion of siorm-fcnds screamed loud
in their dance,
And spruce tree and pine sadly moaned
as they swung
And swayed their long arms, where the
chickadecs clung.
The wide open hearth was aglory with
the blaze;
The logs hummed tune and the tea-ket-
tie sung
Now loud and now low ON its crane, of
the days
When voices of youth through the great
kitchen rang,
And old farmer Brown, bent and feeble
and gray,
Sat there by the fire while his thoughts
stray'd away,
Far back through the past, and were
busy with names
And faces of those who, ere liie's morn
ing glow
Had faded away, left their fever-racked
frames.
And passed to land where the ebb and
flow
of time is unknown. And he f.ncied one
form
Had come to his side through the night
and storm.
And stroked with soft hand the bowed
head, MS of old,
And spoke of the days when she stood
at his side
Az now, by the hearth, or with him
watched the gold
Aud crimson of still summer sunsets ;
when wide
And rosy their path wound Ger liIc's
pleasant wales
And love was their pole star and tenn
pered life's gales.
No voice stirred the air but his soul
caught the sound
And throbbed to her tones as the harp
strings with thrill
Wien wandering night winds the tense
cords have found
Or light, skillful fingers roam DER them
ut will
But tense cords may snap and the music
will cease,
And world weary souls, soon or late, find
release.
He sat there and smiled while the tea
kettle sang,
Now high and now low ta the blazing
logs tune,
But heard not, nor saw how the sparks
upward sprang,
For winter had bloomed into roses oi
June.
And old farmer Brown, bent and feeble
and gray,
Had passed from the scene of his labor,
away.

A sunshiny sonl.

People who are always bubbling
over with bumor, in season and out
Of season; everything is turned by
their Midas touch to sparkling merri-
ment. What unconscious physicians
these people are. 1t doeth one good
like medicine to hear their voices
and to see their faces, always runn-
ing over with laughter like a noun
tain spring. The healthiest and long
cst-lived people most always have a
twig of humor in their makeup.
There is something wonderfully
preservative in laughter. A man,
who cannot laugh is like tree from
which the worms or the winds have
stripped all of the leaves. 1t soon
grows feeble and sapless, and dies
before its time. The healthy tree
laughs with myriads of leaves for
generation after generation, sound
OF heart and beautiful TO look upon;
and when it dies the wood-man cuts
it down and finds the allotted num-
Der ofrings in the firm, white wood
and core as sound and sweet as the
sapling's. So it is with the man
whose disposition is one ofsunshine
and laughter:
He lives merrily and dies cheerily,
and the world is better for him. His
memory docs not pass away like
that ofthe sour, grum misanthropist.
There may be grander things about
man than his humor, but there is
nothing by which he will be remem-
bered so long. After his wisdom
and his learning are forgotten, if he
ever laughed wifi that laugh be his
memorial. 1t will go ringing on
where every other utterance has died
away. Happy are they who are
happyl

The brick clay deposits of Hains-
tadt, Germany, have been found by
DR.. Strohecker to be singularly rich
in several metals heretofore very
scarce, particularly cerium, gluci-
mum, lanthanum, didymium and
yttrium. The first two of these
metals seem to be in sufficient abund-
ance to materially increase the
worlds supply.
