A woman ncvcr. blamcs q man when
she can possibly blame a woman.
Our thoughts arc our frionds or our
enemies, according as they are good or
evil.
Happiness, not unlike tho snail, is
seldom found from homo, or without
homo.
Most people would succeed in small
things, if they were not troubled with
great ambitions.
True friendship consists not in wsn-
ming and receiving all but surrcnder-
ing and giving all.
lilo who gives all his tlmo and
thoughts to ambition has none loft for
friendship and happiness.
Tho best characters have a mixture
of infirmitics, and the worst have
sometimes rcdccming virtues.
Nothing is easier than fault-iinding.
No talent, no self-donial, 10 character,
is required to set up in tho grumbling
business.
The mouse that gets caught in trap
can never DO SO young that its friends
will not say that it was old enough to
have known better.
If man abuse ono woman in tho
presence of another, sho distrusts him,
and if ho compliments somo other wo-
man, it makes her mad.
To love our friends wo must serve
them; love promotes knowledge;
knowledge promotes sympathy, and
apprcciativc sympathy wins lovo in
return.-[Sturdy Oak.

BY night, my slumbcrs never fail
OF welcome rest.

Gilds the fais chambers Of the Day,

That wind their way.
Around me Nature fills the scene
With boundless plenty and delight;
And, touched with joy sincere, serene,

Exerted thus for frail mankind;
at whose command descends the shower,
And blows the wind.
Happy the man who thus at ease,
Content with that which Nature gives;
Him guilty terrors never seize;

An Extraordinary Vision.

Roy. AIr. Savage of Boston tells the following story: A merchant ship, bound for New York. was on her homeward voyage. She was in the Indian Ocean. The captain was en- gagged to be married to lady living in New England. One day, cary in the afternoon, he came, pale and excited, to one of his mates and exclaimed: "Tom, Kate has just diedl 1 have seen her die!" The mate looked at him in amazement, not knowing what to make of such talk. But the captain went on and described tho whole scene the room, her appearance, how she died, and all the circumstances. So real was it to him, and such was tho effect on him of his grief that, fer two or three weeks, he was carefully watched lest he should do violence to himself. It was more than 15O days before the ship reached her Earbor. During all this time no news was re- ceived from home. But when at last the ship arrived at New York, it was found that Kate did die at tho time and under the circumstances seen and described by the captain of the coast of India.

Phillips Brooks and His Portrait.

ss1t is well known," says writer in the Bos on Advertiser, "that the Rev. Phillips Brooks has a great aversion to having his portrait placed on exhibi- ton, or published in the newspapers, and invariably checks all overtures looking toward tha: end. When he was in attendance, however, upon the recent session of the general conven- ton of the Protestant Episcopal Church, held in New York, he was taken unawarcs, and a lead-pencil sketch of his features was made by an contemplating newspaper sketch artist. A very fair likeness of the doctor 1t was, too. It was published in 6 New York paper-the World, I think. Thence it was copied into one or two other papers, and then the boiler-plate people got hold of it, and it went into all the syndicate papers throughout the land, from Dan to Beersheba, and from John O'Groat's house to Lands End. The picture, as l have said, is really very fair likeness, and repre- sents Dr. Br~ oks wearing his familiar eyeglasses and looking slightly down ward, as is his habit when seated in a convention"

 There was an interesting and exciting race on tho Central Pacific R. R., near Blue Greek, 36 miles west of Ogden, Utah. It was race against time. and the goal ahead was the water tank, six miles distant. As the West bound fast mail reached Q point six miles east of Blue Creek, the engineer discovered the mail car, which was filled with through mail, on fire. An effort was made to put it out, but there being no water near, the engineer opened the throttle and resolved to reach the water tank if possible in time to save the valuable cargo. Each minute the barnin4 train was a mile nearer the prom led rescue, and six minutes landed the burn ing train under the spout of the tank, but too iate.
 The interior was a seething mass of flames. and 15S sacks of through mail were almost totally consumed. Word soon spread through the coaches that the train was on ire. The greatest excitement prevailed, and only the lightning speed of the train preven- ted the passengers from Jumping from the
