The Power Of Adaptation.

More than half our enjoyment of
this life depends on our ability to
adapt ourselves to circumstances.
We may not be very well satisfied
with our associations, but if we cannot
change them, or get rid of them, our
best plan is to make the best of it and
to accommodate ourselves to them as
much as possible. This cannot be &C.
complished all at once. Some persons
have the faculty of getting along with
everybody, and under all circum-
stances. They 60 here, there, and
everywhere, visit among the rich and
poor, and have good time generally,
making friends as they go along. If
we had everything in this life just to
suit us, there would be no necessity
for exertion. The mishaps that over
take us are the tests of character.
Our latent talents, our dormant
energies are awakened by the neces-
sity of fighting against our previous
condition and the power of adapta-
ton is acquired most easily by those
whose good nature and cheerfnlness
dispose them to look on the bright
side and make the best of every thing.
1t would be unwise to send a butter
fly into the wilderness where no rose
had thought of blooming, but many
a sO-called butterfly of fashion" has,
under the pressure of circumstances
done noble pioneer work and acquit.
ted herself bravely during the most
trying ordeals. "You never know
what you can do till you have tried,''
is the old familiar maxim with which
many of us have armed ourselves fol
attack or defense, and it is because O
the quality or capacity ofthis reserve
force that we have courage to attemp
great things. AS soon as we begin Il
limit our powers, and to restrict ouI
energies, and clip the wings of higl
resolves, we are sure to fall back to :
commonplace level and into the way
of easy Incidence.

Why Watt

London Standard.
Hundreds of people who in their
very souls really do love, esteem,
reverence each other, live a barren,
chilly life, side by side, busy, anxious,
preoccupied, letting their love go by
as a matter of course, a last years
growth, with no present buds and
blossoms. The time is coming, they
think, in some far future, when they
shall find leisure to enjoy each other,
to stop and rest side by side, to dis
cover to each other these hidden
treasures which lie idle and unused.
Alas time flies, and death steals on,
and we reiterate the complaint of one
in Scripture-"It came to pass, while
thy servant was busy hither and
thither, the man was gone"
The man who really gets the best
that can be got of life is the man who,
with fairly good constitution tC
begin with, is ready to squander it at
any moment and on every occasion
in sufficient cause. He keeps nc
account of profit and loss with hi;

he does it; he sees pleasure to bt

Interesting Discoveries.
From the February Swiss Cross.

From the February Swiss Cross.
An interesting discovery has very
recently been made in the direct line
between Pompeii and Nocera. The
digging of well in vineyard re-
vealed the existence of street of
tombs, about one thousand feet east
of the amphitheatre of Pompeii. If
the whole street is as closely lined
with tombs as is the portion laid
bare, it will be one of the most inn
portant discoveries lately made in
that part of the world: but unfortu-
nately money is wanting, so that the
excavation Is going on very slowly.
Most Of the tombs are covered with
rude inscriptions painted in red, many
OF them being of the nature of adver-
tisements, the tombs thus serving the
purpose of newspaper along the
much-frequented road. The exact
date has not yet been accurately accer-
tanned, but they probably belong to
the periods of Julius Caesar and Tiber-
ius. A contrast may be drawn be-
tween the condition of Pompeii and
that of Pergamon, which, although
double the size of Pompeii, has,
thanks to the energy of the Prussian
government, been laid clear within
eight years. In the latter, beautiful,
finely painted statues, votive offer
ings to Athena, and belonging to the
sixth century, B. c., have been found
buried in the earth, and literally
forming the foundation of the houses
above. Their style of art is one hith.
erto not supposed possible at so re.
mote a period, and they cause the
ruins of Pompeii to appear quite
modern. The discovery of an aque'
duct which probably dates back to
the time Of King Solomon is reported
from Jerusalem, and it is confidently
anticipated that the further excava
ton of 1t will bring to light some ex
tremely interesting and valuable in
scriptious.

Benner's Prophecies for 1888.
Samuel Benner, an ohio farmer

Samuel Benner, an Ohio farmer,
who has gained considerable notori-
ETY. through the newspapers for his
predictions of future events, and who
a few yeas ago published a small
volume on the ups and downs of
prices, which had great sale, has
now communicated to the Real Es-
tate Journal, of New York his prophe-
cies for the year 1883, in which he
says:
"This year, 1888, being the closing
year in this cycle of low prices-sev-
en- years from 1S81-is the golden OPP
portunity to commence the founda-
ton for a business. If there is any
benefit to be derived from a knowl-
edge Of these cycles in trade, it will
be in taking advantage of them.
"Young men who are about to
commence their business career
should embrace their present oppor-
tunity. There are but few of these
chances in an ordinary life. 1t re-
quires about ten years to complete an
up and down in general trade.
"When the depressions which fol-
low commercial crises reach the low
est limit, as determined by these
price cycles, they afford the best OPP
portunities for investment, and the
height of speculative eras are the
most dangerous periods to make
a commencement in any enterprise.
"This is the opportunity for invest
ors to open a mine, to build a fur
mace, to erect mill, to build a ship,
to equip railroad, and to make in
vestments in agricultural, CONNER.
cial, and industrial operations.
"George Peabody laid the founda.
ton for his fortune by buying Amer.
lean securities in one of our CONNER.
cial depressions."

Did You Ever Think About This ?

What has been better said than this
by Secretary Fairchild:
But it is not we'll either to abolish
or reduce internal revenue taxation:
it is tax upon whiskey, beer and to.
bacco, things which are in very small
measure necessary to the health or
happiness Of mankind; if they are
necessary to any unfortunate man,
they are far less necessary even to
him than are a thousand other arti-
cles which government taxes. This
tax is the least burdenscme, the least
unjust of all the taxes which the
government lays or can lay upon the
people; it should not be abolished,
nor should it be reduced if, with due
regard to the existing conditions of
labor and capital, sufficient reduction
can be made in the reduction of neces-
sary articles which are in daily use of
all the people.
The fact that internal taxation falls
entirely upon luxuries is too frequent
ly overlooked in the discussion of
revenue problems.

The Nutmeg.

The nutmeg is grown on Islands in
the Maylay archipelago. The vol
canic group of Banda, consisting Of
three small islands, produce the nut
meg in perfection. The light volcan-
ic soil, the shade and the excessive
moisture, where It rains more or less
every month in the year, seem to
exactly suit the nutmeg tree, which
requires no manure and very lit
tie attention. All the year round
flowers and ripe fruit are to be seen
on the trees. Few cultivated plants
aremore beautiful than nutmeg trees.
They are handsome shaped, glossy
leaved, growing to the height of20 to
80 feet, bearing small yellowish flow
ers. The fruit is the size and color of
a peach, but rather oval. 1t is of a
tough, fieshy consistence, but when
ripe splits open and shows the dark
brown nut within, covered with Grim
son mace, and is then most beauti-
full object. This mace covering is
valuable and finds a place in the spice
box of every good cook. Within
the hard she'll of the nut is the seed,
which is the nutmeg of commerce
with which we are all familiar.

The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as @ cathartic
medicine, they never leave any i'll
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from Gallo
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf.
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements Of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. d. w. Baine, New

~ suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. tried various REM
edies, but received no benefit until

If the church of Christ is to be a
church for all sinners, it is incumbent
on the ministers and officers to pro-
vide a communion element safe for
all. There are God-fearing men and
women, who cannot safely commune
cate in intoxicating drinks. For
such I appeal with confidence to the
Christian church. They may be weak
and poor creatures in the eyes of us
who are physically stronger, but the
minister of Christ can never forget
that our blessed Lerd died in order
that the very weakest and poorest Of
our fellow-men might have "happi-
