"a GOLDEN RULES.

Some one has prepared the fol-
lowing rules for boys and girls,
which are certainly worthy of very
careful study. Our young readers
Will find it profitable to cut these
rules out and put them where they
can be often read. With an earn
est and persistent effort to obey
them there is no doubt they will
tell favorably on their future lives.
Some of the eminent men of the
past in early life adopted such rules
to which in after years they attrib'
ute, in large measure, their great
success. We are sure at least OF
this, that no one ever adopted and
followed carefully rules like the
following whose life was failure,
Success in its truest sense is doing
right, and no one really succeeds
who does not right. We shall new
or know the number OF boys and
girls who will cut out these rules
and carefully put away with the
resolve that they shall be the rules
of their lives, but we do know that
there is One whose eye watches
over all, who will know and be.

at the bedside of Emperor Frederick
was when the dying monarch called

placed her hand in that of Bismarck.
By this action the sufferer signifed

his not less faithful adviser should
end with his own death. How far
his last wish will be respected by

Hidden ia Trees.

Some wood-cutters in the forest of
Drommlin made a very strange dis
covery. They began 70 fell venera-
bic oak, which they soon found to be
quite hollow. Being half decayed, it
speedily came TO the ground with a
crash, disclosing skeleton in excel
lent preservation; even the boots,
which came above the knees, were per-
feet BY its side was a powder-horn,
a porcelain pipe-bowl, and 4 silver
watch. The teeth were perfect. IL
would seem to be the skeleton of a
man between 30 and 40 years of age.
1t is conjectured that, while engaged
in hunting, he climbed the tree for
some purpose and slipped into the
hollow trunk, from which there was
no release, and he probably died Of
starvation. Another mystery was
found in the heart of an oak. From a
tree Of this kind large block about

and fastened in with pine plug. It

was quite small, as the tree had grown
