A harmless, happy roebuck bounded

OF the wood. Now aud then | could
see him above the heather, prickinQ

dewy TANKS IN the rising sun, and
browsing on ibo young shoots, ia bis

his shoulder broken by the shot, and

dead. II looked at me, its head sunk
OH the grass, its eyes swimming in
tears. Never shall forget that look,
10 which amazement, suffering and un-
timely death seemed 10 give a human
depth Of feeling. The look said, with
a heart-rending reproach for my wan
ton cruelty, "What arc your do not

The editor had the pleasure oI
visiting the town OF Centreville last
week, and while the town is not on
a boom, its steady growth indicates
that II will be an important town OF
southwest Mississippi. Several new
buildings are in the course Of con-
structiOn, among them a fine brick
store for the Robinson Mercantile
Company. They have an immi-
grant colony composed Of Swedes
and will make a fine exhibit at Sioux
City, which no doubt will bring
more immigrants to that prosperous
lOcality.-Harriston Jef1ersonian.

trank B. Lonark, an English arch
aeologist Of considerable note, who went
TO Mexico about two years ago to make
q scientific research Of the buried cities
and other ruins in the state Of Chiapas,
has arrived at the City Of Mexico, and
brings information Of the discovery Of a
hidden city in the wilds Of one Of the
southern districts Of that remote state.
Mr.. Lonark spent several weeks explOr-
log the new-found city and claims to
have made some discoveries among the
ancient ruins that will throw much light
upon the early history Of the country,
and will create q sensation in archaeolo-
gIcal circles when made public. He is
now preparing a formal announcement
Of these discoveries, which he will give
to the public when he reaches NewYork
IN the course ola few weeks. He states
that the city which he discovered had
a population offully 10000 at the time
the wholesale defamation Of its inhabit-
ants occurred thatth streets are broad
and the buildings are large and Of as
handsome architecture as is now to
be found in Mexico.-Picayune.

Nature's stern plsolpllne.

The Well-being of existing human
ity, and the unfolding of it into ulti-
mate perfection, are both secured BY
benefcent though stern discipline a
discipline which is piiiless in the
working-out of good a law which
never swerves for the avoidance Of
partial AID temporary suffering.
The poverty Of the incapable, the
distresses that come upon the impru-
dent, the starvation Of the idle, and
those shoulderings aside of the weak
by the strong, which leave SO many
'fn shadows and in miseries," are
the DEGREES of large, far-seeing be-
neTolence. 1t seems hard that an
unskilfulness, which with al his cf-
forts he can not overcome, should en-
tail hunger upon the artisan. II
seems hard that laborer, incapaci-
tated by sickness from competing
With his stronger fellows, should have
to bear the resulting privations. It
seems hard that widows aud or
phans should be left to struggle for
life or death.
Nevertheless, when regarded not
separately, but in connection with
the interests of universal humanity,
these harsh fatalities are seen to be
full of the highest beneficence-the.
same benefcence which brings 10 ear
lY graves the children Of diseased par
ents, and singles out the Iow-spirited,
the intemperate and the debilitated
as the victims of an epidemic.-her-
