How THE BLIND. "SEE."-I also
asked those who became blind in
youth, or later, whether they were
in the habit of giving imaginary faces
to the persons they met after their
blindness, and whether they ever
saw such in their dreams.
Some answered in very vague
terms, but several undoubtedly make
good use of this power, probably
somewhat on the same basis as we
imagine the appearance of eminent
men of whom we have read or heard,
but whose features we have never
seen. When we remember how er-
roneous such impressions often are,
we can understand how it often mis-
leads the blind. Such imaginary
faces and scenes also enter into their
dreams, but to a less extent than in
to those of the sighted. Doctor Kitto
quotes a letter from a musician who
lost his sight when IS years old, but
who retains very strong visualizing
power, both in waking life and in
dreams.
The mention of a famous man, of
friend, or of a scene, always car
ries with it visual picture, COM
plete and vivid. Moreover, these
images of his friends change as the
friends grow old; and he feels him
Intellectually in no way different
from the seeing.-Princeton RerieaU.

contest he led the school. Then
there was girl about the size of
silver dollar who could reason out
any problem in mathematics, and
that was about all she could do with
the school-room studies. [ had an
Irish-American boy in the room who
was remarkable for the memory he
possessed. He could frequently re-
cite, without his book, the entire
reading lesson, and he could express
himself very clearly and rapidly.
Then there was another boy scarcely
larger than he, who was prodigy in
geography. He could remember the
exact location of all cities, rivers,
capes, bays, inlets, mountains and
valleys. He could not learn to read,
however. Two years ago I taught a
boy IL years old who could draw on
slate, paper or board, fine pictures
Of any pupil in the school and of any
scenery visible from the school room
windows. That is all he could do,
for he never averaged more than

The most remarkable boy in that
school was q self-confident chap who

met. / never saw him studying and

the class as other pupils, because he
could appear to know what he did

LIES MIsTAKES.-Somebody has
condensed the mistakes of life, and
arrived at the conclusion that there
are fourteen of them. Most people
would say, if they told the truth, that
there was no limit to the mistakes of
life; that they were like the drops
in the ocean or the sands on the
shore in number; but it Is we'll to be
accurate. Here, then, are fourteen
great mistakes: 1t isa great mistake
to set up our own standard Of right
and wrong, and judge people accord
ingly; to measure the enjoyment of
others by our own to expect unifor-
nifty of opinion in this world; to
look for judgment and experience in
youth to endeavor to mould all dis
positions alike; not to yield to i'm
material trifles; to look for perfection
in our own actions; to worry our
selves and others with what cannot
be remedied; not to alleviate all that
needs alleviation as far as lies in our
power; not to make allowances for
the infirmities of others; to consider
everything impossible thatwe cannot
perform; to believe only what our
finite minds can grasp; to expect to
be able to understand everything.
The greatest OF mistakes is to live for
time alone, when any moment may
launch US into eternity.

TO BE CONTINUED.

THE IMPORTANCE OF Personal
CLEANLINEss.-Very many people
do not keep the skin active and
healthy as they ought; the fear of
catching cold leads them to neglect
to maintain perfect cleanliness of the
body, and as the functions Of the
skin are impaired, the work of throw
ing out waste material, which right
fully belongs to it, falls upon the in
ternal organs. They will bear the
imposition for a time, and will labor
to do the work forced upon them,
but, sooner or later, they become
weakened by the strain, and then
the waste of the system accumulates
within the body and assists in de-
pressing the vital forces. Thus, by
neglect to keep the skin in healthy
state, many 4 person becomes dull
and sluggish and disinclined to men
tai or bodily effort; all the organs
concerned in life share in the dis
turbance, and become indolent and
torpid. The need to maintain per-
feet cleanliness of the body is, if pos
sible, greater in winter than in sum-
mer, a fact which but few appre-
ciate; and to the neglect of this es-
sential may be attributed much OF
the sickness prevailing in the cold
weather, which really ought to be the
healthiest of the year.-Boston Jo'H-
nul of Health.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1888-01-25

SLEEP A MEDICINE.-The cry for
rest has always been louder than the
cry for food, not because it is more
important, but because it is harder to
obtain. The best rest comes from
sleep. OF the two men or women
otherwise equal, the one who sleeps
the most perfectly will be the most
healthy, moral and efficient. Sleep
will do much to cure irritability of
temper, peevishness and unhappi-
ness. 1t restores to vigor an over
worked brain. It will build up and
make strong a weary body. 1t will
cure headache. Indeed, we might
make long list of nervous disorders
and other maladies that sleep will
cure.
Sleeplessness is best cured by a
clean, good bed, sufficient exercise
to produce weariness, pleasant occu-
patton, good air, not too warm a
room, a clear conscience, an avoid
ance of stimulants and narcotics.
For those who are overWorked, hag-
gard and nervous, who pass sleep
less nights, we recommend the adop-
tion of such habits as shall secure
sleep; otherwise, life will be short,
and what there is of it, sadly imper-
fect-HerQla of Hedlh.

A Boys EARLY TRA1NING.-1
believe that from the outset OF a
child's career the appeal should be
constantly made to his manhood.
1t may be true that we inherit q
large heredity Of the brutal sort; but
there is also in every one, or in most,
a large heredity of the noble and
good. All the progress of the ages
has not gone for nothing. 1t is in
our blood. It can be felt as instinct.
1t can be appealed to and used as a
fulcrum to move the boy to gener-
Gus deeds. 1 do not believe in ap-
peals to boys avarice and greed,
whether it be in the way of apple
tarts or paradise. Nor do believe
in appeals to his fear, whether in the
way of rawhides or eternal bonfires.
But from the beginning, and contin-
uously, let us call out the noble and
make the mean source of morti-
fcation. Our young men at 16 would
then go out of the family with the
courage of convictions, and an abhor-
renee for selfshness.-M. Maurice,

FAMILY MOl'RNlNG,

For one l believe that the custom
of wearing mourning apparel in the
way of a badge of sorrow and attiic-
ton, is fast going QUITO use, and that
the time will come-and possibly
may not be far distant-when such a
practice will have become obsolete.
Various reasons may be offered why
Christian people should discounte-
nance such a custom altogether. 1t
is said that in European countries
black is employed generally because
it represents darkness, unto which
death is like, as it is a privation of
life. In China, on the contrary,
white is used, because the people
hope and believe their dead have
gone to heaven. the place of all purity.
In Egypt yellow is worn, because it
represents the decaying of flowers
and trees, which become yellow as
they decay. In Ethiopia brown is
used, since it denotes the color of The

They opened door and signed him to fol-
low. There was dainty little room, little
bed with snowy curtains, and on the white
bed slept Suzanne, the light falling softly
upon her rosy face and her shining hair. He
knelt beside the bed and kissed the dimpled
hand that lay outside the cover, but so softly
that the sleeper knew nothing.
With his heart relieved Roger retired from
the room and returned with the old couple to
the freside, and then he wept in SILENCE for a
few moments His heart was rent with sor-
row, and by the sight Of that little form he
loved so we'll and from whom he had been
so cruelty separated a year and half ago.
Suddenly he gasped for breath and seemed
attacked by vertigo, and was falling from his
chair when Bernardit caught him, and Roger
murmured as if ashamed: "Give me a little
bread, for PHYS sake; have not eaten for
three DAYS"
After having eaten, Roger told his story OF
how he had escaped with three political pris-
oners, and they had made their way, step by
step, from one place to another, working
their passage as sailors until they reached
America At New York Roger had found
position in machine shop, and as soon as
he had earned enough money he had returned
to Europe, bnt be had not enough, and at
Antwerp he found himself without money to
buy food, and he dared not attempt to make
the voyage in France on foot for fear of being
recognized. Sohe paid railroad fare and had
reached here almost starved He knew from
Lucien that the Bernardits would take Su-
zanne, and here he came, scarce daring to
hope she was alive.

earth from whence we came and to
which we return. In certain parts of

earth from whence we came and to
which we return. In certain parts of
Turkey blue is worn, because this
color represent the sky, where the
people trust their dead have gone;
but in other portions of the empire
blue and violet are adopted, since
these colors beinga blending of black
and blue, represent, from one point
of view, sorrow from the other hope.
Now, in reality, to wear mourning
signifies nothing and answers no
valuable purpose. 1t is in truth, no
certain index to the state of the mind.
To see an entire family clothed in
black a person would naturally con-
clude that the family are true mourn
ers, needing consolation in their sor-
row. Yet what is the fact in q large
majority of instances? Pope speaks
about those who bear about the
mockery of woe:
"To midnight dances and the public
show
And alas mourning apparel is but too
often "tne mockery of woe"
The great expense incurred in pro-
viding mourning garments is also
a., consideration of weight which
should not be overlooked. The cloth
ing ofan entire family, and especi-
ally where the family is large, in
mourning garments, is no trifling
matter. OF course the wealthy, and
such as can afford the expense, make
no account of it, but to those who are
in poor or in moderate circumstances
it is serious tax, and in fact proves
nothing short of pecuniary burden.
And in so many cases the custom of
wearing mourning amounts toa prod
igal waste ofmoney. Many families
are abundantly supplied with cloth
ing, the wardrobe is filled with super
fuous garments, and speedily, per-
haps the mourning apparel is laid
aside, so that is the same as money
thrown away. An estimate made of
the amount of money expended in
purchasing such apparel would aston
ish, fancy, almost any community
in the land. Besides, what is there
in the good moral influence arising
from such a custom to balance this
vast expenditure?

Beyond those sunset bars Of gold,
Which light thewaves Of the purple sea,
Near the crystal river, the pearly gate,

for ME.
Not weary, not fearful, for time with you
Is never measured by lingering years,
And the golden points on the diars face
Are numbered by smiles, and not by
tears.
Tonight, as I walk on the lonely shore,
And list to the mournful surge's beat,
think Oft the music that falls on your ear,
Of the beautiful blossoms that lie at
your feet.
And tits joy to know that no grief of mine
Can darken brow SO bright and fair ;
Yet sometimes fancy my spirit can feel
A gleam from the glorious radiance
there. .... .

THE COTTON PLANT.-What a
royal plant it is! The world waits
in attendance on its growth. The
shower that falls whispering on its
leaves is heard around the earth.
The sun that shines on it is temper
ed by the prayers of all people. The
frost that chills it and the dew that
decends from the stars is noted, and
the trespass of a little worm on its
green leaf is more to England than
the advance of the Russian army on
her Asian outposts. 1t is gold from
the instant it puts forth its tiny shoot.
Its fibre is current in every. bank,
and when losing its fieeces to the
sun, it floats sunny banner that glo-
rifles the field of the humble farmer,
that man is marshalled under flag
that will compel the allegiance of
the world, and wiring subsidy from
every nation on earth. 1t is the
heritage that God gave to his people
forever as their own when he arched
our skies, established our mountains,
girt US about with the ocean, loosed
the breezes, tempered the sunshine,
and measured the rain. Ours and
our children's forever. AS princely

from the train at q station i'll the charming
little valley town of ChevreuSe. With him
was beautiful young girl, whose age would
be Judged to be somewhere near 20, but who
was in reality not yet II. They were
both strangers. and as such attracted consid-
ernble attention from the loungers about the
station, who were equally struck by tho
beauty and distinction Of the young girl and
the peculiar appearance of the man. Not
only were his hair and beard white, but his
face was horribly disfigured by what seemed
scars from burn.
They walked toward q villa which was for
sale, and examined it with view to its pur-
chase, and in few days they were installed
there as the owners.
As is usual in small villages, the people of
this charming valley soon found out all about
their new neghbor, who had bought tho
White House, as the villa was called, and they
told each other that lie was q rich Canadian
who had come to France with his daughter.
His name was William Forney. and that of
the daughter Miss Suzanne Forney. Her
mother was dead.
When they We're settled in their new home
NJ. Forney asked his daughter il she thought
she should feel happy in her new home. She
replied:
"Wherever you are am happy, and I feel
sure that we will both be happy here"
The father bowed his head and looked
tenderly at his daughter, sitting sigh. As
the reader will have OWNED, this father and
child were the same who had fled from
France OH that dreary night, Roger Laroque
and Suzanne.
When Roger had left France for the second
time, und as a fugitive from justice, carrying
his precious burden he took passage for New
York, where he stayed but short time and
then went to Canada, where he went
to work in q machine shop with a
sort of avdity, hoping to regain fortune
and return to France with the one pur-
pose of discovering the mystery of the
drama OF the VilleTAvray.
Such energetic and intelligent labor was
bound to achieve its result, and one after an
other Roger made three important inventions
in the making and management of steel. He
returned to New York, and he succeeded with
his inventions beyond his most sanguine
hopes, and he found. himself in the possession
