THE TIME TO LOVE.

watched youth and maiden by the sea,
The white foam dashed upon the rocks In
spray,
AS sportive as fair children at their play;
II kissed her cheek and brow, from care as free
As birds in summer; SIN ling, tenderly.
He took her hand in his in manly way.
The picture fingered with me many day;
youth is the time to love-" 1t sa d to me.
I watched them later. when the youth had
grown
To mans estate, and little ones were led
BY gentle hands; her face with gladness shone:
"Ah! manhood is the time to love-" said.
Sweet love! without thee age itself were lone;
Life and eternity by love are wed.

WHITE ANT PALACE.
The Queer Structure discovered In Aus
tralia by Naturalist Moore.

The Queer Structure Discovered in Aus
traiia by Naturalist Moore.
The white ant is known as an in
sect very destructive to wood in all
tropical regions, and the temperate
zones are not free from its ravages.
It is all the more destructive because
its work is never seen upon the sur
face, and the strength of timber is all
wasted without any Indication to the
eve. The ant, if it has occasionally to
work on the surface. first covers it
with coating of clay. Its manner OF
living as well as of working appears
from the description given OF the
abode of an ant colony by Mr.. Moore.
of Australia.
Upon the brow of small rounded
eminence there stood sort OF pillar OF
clay about five feet high, which had
once been the center of hollow tree,
the shell of which had been. from time
to time. broken and burned away,
This pillar was the work of white ants.
AS it interfered with the working oil
the pillow, | commenced breaking and
digging it down. not without some
difficulty.
The clay. which was sufficiently
stiff, hard and dry, broke off in large
fragments. At length, near the level
of the surface of the ground. rounded
crust was uncovered, looking like the
oe ~, - 4 h ],
this. the whole city of the ants was
laid bare-a wonderful mass of cells,
pillars, chambers and passages. The
spade sunk. perhaps. two feet among
the crisp and cracking ruins. which
seemed formed either of the excavated
remnants of the tree, or thin, she'll
like cement of clay.
The arrangement of the interior was
singular; the central part had the ap-
pearance of innumerable small branch
ing pillars, like the minutest stalac-
title productions. Towards the outer
part the materials assumed the APP
pearance of thin lamina, about half
the thickness of wafer. but most
ingeniOusly disposed in the shape of
series OF low elliptic arches, SO
placed that the center of the arch be-
low formed the resting-place for the
abutment OF the arcA. above.
These abutments again formed slOp-
ing platforms for ascent to the higher
apartments. In other places | thought
/ could discern spiral ascents not un-
like geometrical staircases.
The whole formed such an ingenious
specimen of complicated architecture,
and such an endless labyrinth of in
tricate passages, as could bid defiance
to art and to Ariadne's clew. But
even the affairs of ants are subject tc
mutation. This great city was de.
serted-a few loiterers alone remained
to tell to what race it had formerly
belonged. Their great storehouse had
become exhausted-even the very
roots had been laid under contribution
till at last it's myriads of inhabitants
had emigrated to begin anew their Op
erations in some other soil. Youth.

PITH AND POINT.

-"All things are for the BEST" and
that is probably the reason why the
really hard-up man never gets any
thing.
There is no greater mistake than
that made by the man who is sel6shly
seeking any kind of happiness at the
expense of others.
There is no calling that is not
made better by brains. No matter
what mans work is, he is better
man for having thorough mind
drilling. -Beecher.
"A man of strong character always
makes enemies, but because man has
many enemies you can not be quite
sure that he is man of strong char.
acter.
There are lots of people who mix
their religion with business, but forget
to stir it up we'll. AS result, the
business invariably rises to the top
Methodist advance.
With every exertion, the best Of
men can do but moderate amount OF
good; but it seems in the power of the
most contemplate individual to do in
calculable mischief. Washington IrU-
ing.
1T is impossible to make people un-
derstand their ignorance; for it re-
CURED knowledge to perceive it, and,
therefore, he that can perceive it hath
it.-Taylor.
The most trivial circumstances are
able to put an end to our qualifications;
they are like beds of roses, where it is
very unlikely all the leaves should be
smooth, and even one that is doubled
suffices to make us uncomfortable.
The assumption of virtue is COM
mon to mankind, but none assume it so
loudly as those who have the least
right to it. By such people any short
coming on the part of others is made
a subject of complaint. Quiver.
There are two ways (says Frank
lin) of being happy-we may either
diminish our wants or augment our
means. Either will do-the result is
the same; and it is for each man to de-
eide for himself, and do that which
happens to be the easier.
In truth, it is often more praise
worthy in us to praise another wOrthily
than it would be for us to have done
the very thing which is deserving of
praise in that other. To praise worth
lily is one of the best ways of being
praiseworthy.-S S. Times.
To dread no eye, and to suspect no
tongue, is the greatest prerogative of
innocence, an exemption granted only
to invariable virtue. But guilt has al
ways it's horrors and solicitudes; and,
to make it yet more shameful and de-
testable, it is doomed often to stand in
awe of those to whom nothing could
give influence or weight, but their
power of betraying.-Dr. S. johnson.
"A painter can not finish his pict-
ure if he stands close to the canvas.
He walks back, stands off, and thus
sees the whole at once. Many a man
whose affairs were in a snarl has gone
to sea, and in few weeks has seen the
whole tangle, and in a few more has
seen how to get the tahgle out. If he
had stayed he would have died in his
net. Stand back from your picture

CHARLESTON, s. G., March John D.
Wrede, drummer for commission house
in this city, met a horrible death He left
his home at about o'clock in the evening
and was not heard from until a. m. when
his body was found stuck in the mud at
Hunters dock, on the eastern water front.
The body was buried in the mud up to the
arms, which were extended. 1t is supposed
that he fell from the wharf into the dock.
and while trying 10 extricate himself sank
SO deep in the mud as to be unable TO get
out AT that hour, 10 p M, the tide was
low, and at high tide there Is not over three
feet of water over the spot where he per-
ished. He must have been slowly drowned
by the rising tide. There are residences
within 100 yards of the place where he was
found, but his cries were UNDECIDED. He must
have been alive for four hours before the tide
reached his mouth and drowned him. Wrede
is the fourth victim who has persisted there
in the same way.
