WISE WORDS.

Earnestness is the path to immortality.
Friendship is the highest degree Of
perfection in society.
There is no better excess in the world
than the excess of gratitude.
Politeness is as natural to delicate ma
lures as perfume is to flowers.
Bring your will to your fate, and suit
your mind to your circumstances.
The surest way to please is to forget
ones self and to think only of others.
Shun idleness; it is the rust that at.
taches itself to the most brilliant metals.
No principle is more noble, as there i!
none more holy, than that of true
obedience.
There is power hundred times mort
powerful than that of bayonets; it is tht
power of ideas.
If we had no defects we should no.
take so much pleasure in discovering
those of others.
We know the value of a fortune wher
we have gained 1t, ana tnaC OF d lfIehC
when we have lost it.
Those who seek happiness in ostenta
ton and dissipation are like those who
prefer the light of candle to the splendol
of the sun.
A weapon is anything that can serve te
wound; and sentiments are perhaps the
most cruel weapons man can employ tt
wound his fellow man.
Nothing sharpens the arrow of sarcasm
so keenly as the courtesy that polishes it
No reproach is like that we clothe with 6
smile and present with bow.
A homely man of merit is never re
pulsive. AS soon as he is named his
physique is forgotten; the mind passes
through it to see the soul.
Thinkers are as scarce as gold; but he
whose thought embraces all his sub. ects,
who pursues it uninterruptedly and fear
less Of consequences, is adiamond of enor
nous size.

r. Andree has lately been collecting in
formation as to the use of signals by primi
tive peoples, and the facts he has brought
together are summarized in Science. II
appears that American Indians use rising
smoke to give signals. to distant friends.
A small fire is started, and as soon as il
burns fairly well grass and leaves are
heaped on the top of it. Thus large.
column of steam and smoke arises. By
covering the fire with blanket the In
dams interrupt the rising of the smoke at
regular intervals, and the successive clouds
are used for conveying messages.
Recently attention has been called to
the elaborate system of drum signals used
by the CAMERON negroes, by means OF
which long messages are sent from vii.
lage to village. Explorations in the Congo
basin have shown that this system prevails
throughout Central Africa. The Bakuba
use large wooden drums, on which differ.
ent tones are produced by drumsticks.
Sometimes the natives converse in this
way for hours, and from the energy dis:
played by the drummers, and the rapidity
of the successive blows, it seemed that the
conversation was very animated.
The Gala, south of Abyssinia, have
drums stationed at certain points of the
roads leading to the neighboring States
| Special watchmen are appointed, who
have to beat the drum on the approach ol
enemies. Ceochi, who observes this Gus
tom, designated it as a "system of tele
graphs" The same use of drums is found
! in New Guinea From the rhythm anC
rapidity of the blows the natives knowa'
once whether an attack, u death, or ;
festival is announced. The same tribe
use columns of smoke or Cat night fires t.
convey messages to distant friends. Th
| latter are also used in Australia. Column
of smoke Of different forms are used TO
signals by the inhabitants of Cape Yorl
and the neigboring island.
In Victoria hollow trees are filed wit
fresh leaves, which are lighted. TIL
signals thus made are understood b
friends. In eastern Australia the move
ments of a traveller are made known b
columns of smoke, and so was the dis
coyery of a whale in Portland bay.

BEGGING AWAY.


Oh! well remember the clustering faces
That in wonderment peered through the
shoemaker's door
When, to sound of his whistle aud tap Of his
hammer,
He often regaled us with bits of his lore;
As often he'd say, with a nod that was
knowing,
And e smile that was bright as the sweet
summer day:
81 tell you What, lads, there's nothing
worth having
But what you must get it by pegging away.
"You may run the swift race and be
counted the victor,
And yet you but get there a step at a time;
And up the steep ladder where Fame keeps
her laurels,
If you want to get one you must certainly
climb. .-
The world, it is only broad piece OF leather,
We must shape it ourselves to our last as
we may;
And we only can do it, my lads, as l tell
you,
By pressing and moulding and pegging
away"
Oh! the years have been long and the shoe
makers vanished;
Adown the dark road we must journey
alone:
But / often think of the wisdom hid under
His whimsical jest and his fatherly tone
And often I've proved the truth Of his say
ing,
AS misfortune and together still stray,
That all the best gifts the world has to offel
1t only gives those who keep pegging away

IN NATURES soLITUDEs.

Within tine hollow Of the hills
The silent river flows,
Its listless water softly thrills
The flag that in it grows;
Beyond its sloping banks where bloorA
Red lilies crimson died,
The low pines cast their fragrant gloom
Along the mountain side.
High peaks beyond them CLEAN with snow,
Above the rocky line
Where restless winds forever blow,
And sapless MOSES shine;
But here, where grasses slowly bend
Before the whispering breeze,
From clover tufts to daisies, wend
The pollen-dusted bees.
The birds in yonder maple sing
In low, entrancing notes
While poised aloft on tireless wing,
A watchful eagle floats;
And higher still, in purple desps
OF sunlit summer sky,
Like windless sails where ocean sleeps,
The white clouds moveless lie.
No sign Of human life is seen,
And save for bird and bee,
And whisper of the grasses green
Wherewith the wind is free,
There is no sound, and all the place
Is full of peaceful rest,
And that supreme, effaceful grace,
Which says, "God knoweth best"
Yet man will win this listless stream
Sometime to do his will,
And golden harvest sheaves will gleam,
Along yon sloping hill;
And orchard trees, with blossoms sweet,
Will hear low-spoken words,
What time young folk, with lingering feet,
List to the mating birds.
