The President was Pleased.

Among the crowd at the White
House the other day was an old man
called Deacon Richard Smith. He
shook the Presidents hand heartily,
and said:
ST am SO years of age, and am glad
to see you"
How many Presidents have you
seen. deacon p asked Mr.. Cleveland.
"Every one since Madison re-
piled the deacon.
"Did you see Washington ?" ask
ed the President.

President to see an old colored man
who has :.cver seen George Wash

The President laughed as he shook
the old man goodbye.
AS the deacon was leaving the room
some one asked him: "Are you a
Democrat or Republican, deacon ?'

Life In a Snowflake.

Some imaginative and wonderfully
learned German scholars tell us that
every snowflake is inhabited by hap.
by little beings, who begin their ex-
istence, hold their revels, live long
lives of happiness and delight, die
and are buried, all during the descent
of the snowflake from the world of
clouds to the solid land. These schol-
ars also tell US that every square foot
of air possesses from twelve to fifteen
million of more or less perfect little
beings, and that at every ordinary
breath we destroy a million, more or
less, of these happy lives. The sigh
of a healthy lover is supposed to swal-
low up about fourteen million. They
insist that the dust, which will, as all
know, accumulate in the most secure
and secret places, is merely the re-
mains of millions and billions of these
little beings who have died of old
age. All this, of course, is mere guess
work. But do know that the snow
in some parts of the world is thickly
inhabited. l have seen new snow in
Idaho black with little insects. PEG.
pie there call them snow-feas. They
are as lively as possible, and will
darken your footprints, walk as fast
as you may. They are found only on
the high mountains, and only in very
fresh and very deep snow. They, of
course. do not annoy you in any way.
They are infinitely smaller than the
ordinary flea, but they are not whit
less lively in their locomotion.-St.
Nicholas.

good health means.
Ia sickness your world is limited TO
the world OF your chamber; your inter
eats to obtaining ease and rest from

spondency. and child in your temper
and caprice Strange thoughts come and

between It and you lies the valley of
the shadow Of death, perhaps. II you
escape that valley, and feel life thrilling
once more within your veins, how slow
the creeping back TO the old landmarks
once more, and the awakening OF the
old interests. But one by one they come
to you once again, the pulse beats ever
stronger until you can cry jnbifente, l
am well.
And there IL compensation Of one
sort for sickness. The wheels OF your
machinery have been oiled and jointed
afresh and move with greater ease; the
new fibers OF flesh and muscle have some
thing of the elasticity of youth in them,
aud your brain Ia cleared of many cob
webs. In the hand.to. hand conflict you
have had with disease, all minor troubles
have lesscned or vanished entirely. and
the blessings Of life so nearly lost are
appreciated at their worth.
Hope is in the asceBdancy again, and
you are thankful, loving. willing, glad
to do your part once more in the work
of life. All this comes from real heal
ing from disease. Il Herald of Health.

In September, 1869, there came into
the little station of st. Mary, Wy. T.,
ON the overland stage route, a man,
tired, footsore and ragged, who bore
upon his back large gunny sack full OF
gold nuggets. lie remained at the sta.
ton one night and took the Eastbound
stage. The next spring he returned
with small and well.appointed pack
train and two companions. Last spring
at the base of high peak rising from
the great watershed of the Green, Snake
and Wind rivers, party OF hunters, in
rude hunks, still clinging to the rotaiug
falling walls OF cabin, discovered, mud
died in CHASTITY shining heaps, the bones
of three human beings.
In the long, matted grass, which
grew rank ON the floor of the hut, were
half concealed rusty mining tools and
mildewed cooking utensils, while scat.
ter, around in every stage of "looped
and Widowed raggedness" were what
once were articles of wearing apparel.
Suddenly SEINE one stepped upon an
object concealed in the rank and matted
grass, aud STOPPING and picking II up
uttered an exclamation. The object
was a thin, broad rock, overlaid with
lreen, damp moss, through which could
be traced some written characters. Has
tily the stone was cleaned from its
green and clingiug covering and lett rs

termination. The writer OF his COM
panions' obituary was prevented by
some cause from adding anything further
to the mournful record. The hunters
dug deep grave in the floor of the
cabin which had Witnessed the last agon
les of the entrapped man, aud revereutly
retained the long exposed remains to
mother earth. Tue parry then set forth,
guided by the injunction, 'Due south,
ten mil 5, " to search for the mine aud
the treasure buried there. The search
lasted month without result, and the
party came into the railroad, laid IN n
supp of provisions aud will spend the
summer in the search.
