gather from the imperfect record of the
ages, the broken outlines of Gods great
purposes in the race of man; just as from
the tide marks, the pebbles and the shells,
you can spell the length of the greatest
ocean waves, how far they swept up the
shore, how they wore upon the rocks
that defied them, and crumbled naughty
cliffs into the sea. Read travels with a
map, and see how other races live; what
Providence has created for their food
and pleasure; what central fires have
wrought in their awful leaps, through
the bosom of the earth.
Read poetry, and see the beauty of ma
ture, OF heart, of soul, that open to the
real poets eye and are celebrated in the
music of his verse. Above all, read the
Bible; the one book that never wearies, is
never exhausted. The volume in which
all the powers OF human language set
forth the splendor, the power,the strength,
the gentleness and the love of God; drink
deep of its living springs, for these and
these alone can satisfy the weary soul
that it shall thirst no more, here or there.

A GOOD MOTHER

A family party was recently sitting at
dinner, when one of the children noticed
that little mouse was carefully toiling
up the dRmask window curtain with
something in it's mouth. The little crea-
ture was not disturbed, but was careful
ly watched till it disappeared in fold Of
the curtain. After awhile it emerged,
and ran down to the floor, and SO disap-
peared. On examining the curtain, four
tiny little mice were found in one of the
folds, which formed kind of pouch, and
would have been comfortable enough
without any lining; but Mrs Mouse had
not thought so, for she had placed in the
fold some soft wool stolen out of rent
in sofa cushion, The following day
all the little mice had disappeared; the
mother mouse evidently knew that her
nest had been discovered, and was no
longer a safe place for her little family.

"Mr. Will, want the King to come
into my heart, too"
Mr.. Will lay back in his chair with his
eyes closed, and Dolly thought he was
asleep, but -and-by, when she looked
up again, he was looking down at her,
and he answered her, but his voice
sounded very queer:
"He will come to every one who asks
Him.
Then Dolly began to look for little
things that would make the flowers grow,
and day by day she found little kind
neeses to do and pleasant words to say.
All through the happy summer the flow
ers hourished, and the weeds came, too,
sometimes, but one morning she stole in
to Mr.. Willis side with very happy
face.
"Mr. Will, the King has come into my
garden"
And the young man bent and kissed
the sweet childs face. The voice that an
swered her was very low and weak

Masters gardens, and sometime you must
come, too"
Dolly looked up.
"Pm sorry you're going away" she an
swered simply.
That night he sat on the porch and
watched the sunset, and when Dolly came
to him she found him asleep, so deeply
asleep that she could not awaken him.
Daily, as years passed by, the garden
of Dolly's heart grew more sweet and
fair, the King came every day into its
fair borders, and the music that sounded
there found its way into Dolly's voice
and the light and the sweetness shone in
her face, and through her clear eyes one
saw as through open windows the sweet.

B0iIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after a comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. G. X. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared and for six years he has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of a scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfigured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.

The Sheen Tick.

The tick is wingless, broad, plump,
dark-rei insect, about quarter of an
inch in length and covered with a very
tough and leathery integument. 1t is
known scientifically as MelOphdgu, ocinus.
The legs of the tick are short and stout,
and 1t adheres with great tenacity to the
wool. BY means of proboscis as long
as its head it pierces the skin aud sucks
the blood Of its victim to such an extent
that, when numerous, they have been
known to almost entirely empty the
veins and deprive lamb of life The
draft upon the vitality of lambs infested
with ticks is very great, and sufficient to
arrest their growth altogether. To rid
the flock of these pests is, therefore, a
necessary labor in the spring or early
summer, and, if need be, again in the
autumn. The easiest way is TO dip both
sheep and lambs as soon as the sheen
are shorn, and again in September in a
decoction of tobacco mixed with sui
phur. Coarse plug tobacco, or tobacco
stems, which are cheaper than the
leaves, and equally effective, are stepped
in water at a boiling heat, but not boiling

twenty gallons of water One pound of
flowers of sulphur is then stirred into the
liquid, which is brought to a tempera.
tule of 120 degrees Fahr., and kept so
during the dipping by the addition of
fresh hot liquor. While dipping the
mixture is kept stirred to prevent the
sulphur from subsiding. The dip may
be conveniently placed in trough or
tub large enough to allow of the INNER
sion of the sheep, which is taken by the
feet by two men and plunged into the
bath at the temperature mentioned, where
1t is held for minute or two until the
wool is Thoroughly saturated The ami
nal is then put into pen with a raised
floor sloping on each side to trough in
the middle, along which the superabun-
dant liquor escapes into a pail or tub
PLACED to receive it. This method of
dipping is calculated for almost any num-
Der. If in their struggles a little of the
dip should enter the nostrils of the sheep,
no harm will result, but the hot tobacco
water is, on the contrary, often beneficial
to those sheep affected with catarrh or
grubs in the head.-Neio Yorb World.

A Fathers Marvellous Feat.

In the forest of Esterel, France, a man
and woman were at work, recently, and
not far off babe-an infant months
old-was lying in its cradle, which had
been moved to the front of their cottage
in order that the little eherub might in
hale the fresh air under the watchful
gaze of its foud parents. Suddenly a
noise was heard, and an enormous eagle,
swooping down from the cerulean sky,
sci ed the babe with beak and claws and
began to soar once more toward
the sun, when the distracted father,
rushing madly into his hut, took up a
gun. Without a moments hesitation
the man pointed his weapon at the cruel
bird and fired. The eagle dropped
earthward as dead as a door nail, and
its slayer now achieved another feat
which would have won him any amount
of applause at Lords. He held out his
hands and caught the child as it fell,
the little one escaping without so much
as a scratch, and returning from its
journey into mid-air as bright as a
button. ."-LORdOR Telegraph.

An Organ OF Paper Pulp.

A very original musical instrument has
recently been constructed at Milan,
Italy--an organ whose pipes, instead of
being of metal, are of paper pulp. Its
history is quite curious. Father GieRaa-
nj Crispi Rigghizo, having learned that
the parish delPIncoranata, at Milan, was
destitute of music for the Offices, con
ceived the idea of devising a cheap ma
terial that would permit of constructing
organs under such conditions that the
most unpretending communities could
purchase one of these instruments
This monk, who had passed his life
in poverty, was confronted by lack of
money, and, Notwithstanding his efforts
to carry out his undertaking, was begin
ming to despair of success, when he had
the fortune to meet an artisan, Luigi
Colombo, who understood the constIuc-
tion of the instrument and was good
enough to aid him in carrying out his
design. They both went resolutely to
work, and finally, in June, 1886, finished
the instrument IN question. Unfottun-
nately, by reason of lack of funds, they
could not exceed twenty-five registers,
forty-four pedals and 400 pipes. The
final result, however is extremely inter-
esting, since it is generally agreed that
the instrument possesses great power
and sweetness of tone not found in
organs hitherto constructed. .-NeU York

The Diamond Wouldn't Polish.

A remarkable diamond was exhibited
at a recent meeting of the New York
Academy Of Sciences by Mr.. George f.
Kuntz. 1t was a compound of multiple
crystal, containing a large number of
twinnings. 1t is of the class, termed
"eXtreme durate" by the French. 1t
had been cut into the general shape of a
brilliant, and its main face or table was
then placed on the polishing wheel in
the establishment of Tiffany & Co. 1t
was kept there for 100 days, the wheel
revolving at the rate of 2s0O revolutions
per minute. The diamond was held
upon the rotating surface at a distance
of about fifteen inches from the center
Based on these figures. a calculation
shows that the surface passed over by the
diamond amounted to 20, 600 miles, or
nearly three times the circumference of
the earth Yet 1t was all futile, as the
stone would not acquire a polish The
ordinary weight placed on a diamond,
while on the wheel, is from two and a
quarter pounds TO two and half pounds
This was increased by four pounds and
eight pounds without effect, and finally
forty pounds was used. The wheel was
badly damaged, the dlamand plowing
into it and throwing scintillations in all
directions. The diamond, even under
these conditions, could not be given a
commercial polish, and the wheel had to
be replaced. Iron.

Ants in the Garden.

A writer In the Country Gentlemzn
says: For years my garden was the
stamping ground of an enormous army
of black ants, and though fought them
in all sorts of ways could not get rid OF
them till l tried naphtha. l made in
each ant hill half dozen holes with an
iron bar pushed few pieces of straw or
hay to the bottom, poured in the holes
and on the ground about them two
quarts of naphtha, and set it on fire.
When the fire begins to die down il is n
good plan to throw two inches Of earth
over the whole ant hill. l do not guess
this will clean out ants; | know it.
There are many things that will drive
ants from their nests, only to turn up
