WORDS OF WISDOM.

Remember if you marry for beauty, thou bindest myself all thy life for that which perehanee, will neither last nor please thee one year; and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all.-Raleigh.
 Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of Gods best gifts. It involves many things, but above all the power of going out of ones self, and seeing and appreciat- ing whatever is noble and loving in another.-Thomas Hughes.
 It is not work that kills men; il is worry Work is healthy; you can hard ly put upon a man more than he can bear. Worry is rust upon the blade. It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery, but the friction Fear se- cretes acids; but love and trust are sweet juices.-Beecher.
 Hold sorrow till it's most selfish as. pect passes. till it turns its religious side to you; till time and experience and faith do their work; till We feel not it's gloom, but it's glory; not it's cross, but it's crown. Do not through any device, lose its sanctifying inhu- enee, the greatest loss the soul can meet.-J. F. w Ware.
 Secure good name to myself by liY- ing virtuously and humbly, but let this good name be nursed abroad and never be brought home to look upon it. Let others use it, for their own advantage; let them speak of it if they please; but do not thou use it at all but as an in strument to do God glory and thy neighbor more advantage Let thy face like Moses, shine to others, but make no looking glass for thyself.- Jeremy Taylor.

SPECTRAL BELL.

One day' while Whicher was in the hole and me at the Windless, he heard the bell.

Next day 1t rang again, slow. solemn and plainer than ever. It was broad daylight. and that made the thing all the wosee, which sounds funny, but it is true. We stood it four times, and then Whicher climbed out of the hole and said, Let's go. I was willing. I be- lieye we had a good thing, but that bell'-it was too many for us. It makes my flesh crawl to think about it even now"

STRANGE TAcTlcs OF A LOON.
It's Dependence Upon the Wind to Assist
 Its Flight

l have shot at looms a great many times on the lakes of northern Wis eonsin, and on Lake Superior, and have never known them to attempt to escape from danger unless there was q wind of which they could take ad- vantage in their attempts to rise, states a contributor. I remember once, in company with my brother, trying to secure a loon as specimen for mount ing. The bird was in a lake about three-fourths of mile long and about 200 yards wide in it's narrowest part. My brother was seereted at one end of the lake, and 1 in a canoe kept the bird in motion, trying to get it within range of my brothers gun, and giving it a chance whenever a chance offered. Although harried for two or three hours it never once attempted to rise from the water. There was slight breeze, if I mistake not, but not enough to be of any use in the looms attempt to escape by flight During the chase the loon swan a distance of 200 yards or more under water, repeatedly with out appearing above the surface. Lake Superior fishermen tell me they have caught them in their nets at great depths. Among those with whom have talked on the subject 1t is be- lieved that loon cannot rise from the water without the aid Of a wind blow ing directly opposite to the line of light
 Rough on the General.
 A French actor named Hyacinths once illustrated the saying, "Dlscre- ion is the better part of Yalor," relates Fit-Bits. It was in the month of June and a company Of the National Guard, of which Hyaeinthe was a sergeant. &as engaging a body of insurgents behind barricade at the other end of q short street. One of the insurgents in ,artieular, from a corner of the barri- .ade. was making remarkably effective practice on the assailants. At that mo- nept up care a general We must get him to expose himseIf,' said the general. "One of you must chamber up m top of the barrieade; then, when our friend at the other end of the street shows himself to take aim, two or ,hree of you fetch him down.

A GREAT OCCASION.
When President Consulted with
 Yice-President.

Nlce=E =ErH6ld8nt.
 ce-President Stevenson used to tell a story which John c. Breckenridge had told him to illustrate the tradi- tional relations between the president and the man whose principal business it is to wait for the possible death Of the president in order that he may take the presidents chair, and the New York Mail and Express thus gives cur rency to it. Breckenridge said that Buchanan never consulted him about any important matter, although as a Kentuekian, having the confidence of most of the southern leaders. he felt that his advice might at times have been valuable to the president. In the carly fall of 1860 when Buehanan's 8 term was nearing an end, amid the gathering clouds of war, President Breckenridge received an urgent sum- mons to the White House. He re- sponded at once, thinking that at last the president wanted his advice on the momentous questions then pending. When he arrived he was shown into the presidents room, and Mr Buehal- an, who was alone, called his private secretary and instructed him to see that they were not disturbed during the important conference which was to follow. When the private secretary had withdraw the president unlocked the private drawer in his desk. took out manuscript, sat down with great solemnity and said to Vice President Breckenridge in his most impressive manner: T want to read you the draft of ny Thanksgiving day proclamation and to get your opinion of it. The vice. president controlled his facial muscles, listened respectfully and se- riously, made some complimentary re- marks about the important document, and, with his customary courtesy, bowed aad smiled his way out from the only interview to which he was ever invited by President Buchanan.
