It frequently happens that farm will not divide well among children there is trouble in making an equitable dis tribution of the property. In such in- stances it is well to consider the subject of life insurance. For small sum, paid annually, a large amount of ready money may be left to the widow or daughter at the period of ones death i; and they will be just as independent as the sons who divide and keep the farm. This suggestion is we'll worth needing by thousands who are interested, and we commend them to the old New York Life Insurance Co.,, at 346 and 348 Broadway, New York.

In renewing an. old Indian mound on

 Colonel Aliens farm in Roekland town ship, few days ago, says the Daven- port Iowa) Gazetta, the workmen came across some interesting relics of the long-gone race of Indians known gen. erally as the ''Mound builders" Colonel Aliens house is situated on a spur of the bluff about five miles below the city, and at a point from which the ] view is unrestricted for several milesu and down the river-certainly 8 fine | location for an Indian lookout.

 The mound was about thirty feet in diameter at it's base, six feet in height, in shape even and symmetrical, and formed of light soil, which, under meath the sod, was perfectly dry. The bones of two bodies were found, one on each side of the centre, east and west but time has played sad havoc with tlem, and little remains that would be of material aid to the an- tiquary. The lower jaw-bone of one still holds together, the teeth sound but considerably worn down into the crown. By the side of each body was found an earthenware vessel--specimens of antique pottery of no mean shape and design for tho rude age in which they were manufactured. The vessels or vases are pineapple shaped, four inches in diameter at the rim, which is little more than an inch wide, swell ing out to six inches in diameter, and tapering slightly rounded at the bot tom, and about five inches deep. There is slight attempt at ornamentation on the rim lines running up and down diagonally, with short parallel lines filling the spaces, and four knobs at equal distance around two of them with an opening adapted to thong or string for carrying; the bowl is marked or, rather, scratched over with finer

 lines. They are made of clay mixed with sand, evidently kiln-baked, per fectly smooth inside, and are of the uniform thickness of one inch. In one of them was found shell, or rather what was once shell, for it went into dust at the touch. The implements of war which were got out whole were stone tomahawk, an arrow head, and large boulder with groove round the centre, possibly 8 battle axe other pieces were too much broken to put together. These relics are much the same in general shape and design as have been found in South America, in the Southern States of our country, and throughout the Mississippi Valley--rec- ords of race long extinct, people without name, who left no history, nor even tradition, to guide the antiquary in his search. When Colonel Allen built here, several years ago, their were six of these mounds. Two were cut down and wheeled off by the laborers, and whatever was unearthed was carried off or broken the present one makes the third, with the above result. The others will probably remain in statu quo, as monuments of the by-gone race, unless the Historical Society make an attack in force.

It seems incredible that man can hold his naked hand in a stream of motion iron without injury, yet the thing has been done over and over again all that is required being to have his hand moist, and if his hand is dry, he has merely to dip it in water, and he may hold his hand for certain time in that stream of motion iron without re- ceiving any injury whatever. This was exhibited publicly at @ meeting of the British Association at Ipswich, many years ago. It is one of the miracles of science, so to speak; they are perfectly credible to scientific men, because they know the principle upon which it hap pens, and that principle is familiar to you, that if you throw drop of water upon hot iron, the water retains it's spherical form, and does not spread upon it and wet it. Vapor is brought to that condition by intense heat, that it forms sort of film, or atmosphere between the hand and the hot iron, and for time that atmosphere is not too hot to be perfectly bearable.

1t was Ralph Someryille who asked, as
the old physician carefully dressed his
frost-bitten limbs The work was done be-

hearted old man replied; 81 just came
from her bedside at Ncighbor Bronson's."


" How came she there ?"


The doctor looked searchingly at his pa
tient for moment, and then the shade Of
sternness relaxed from his face


"lll not scold you, young man." he
said, for your punishment must be great
enough without any help of mine"


And then he told, in simple but touching
words, how Susan had struggled through
the terrible storm of two days previous,
how she had found her husband and gone
for assistance How the neighbors had
searched for him, and found him Just in
time to save his life. He had been brought
to his own house and cared for, but the
poor wife was prostrated with brain fever
at the neighbours residence and in her de-
lirium was calling continually upon them
to go and save her husband.


There was shame in Ralphs face, but in
his heart, mingling with the penitence he
felt, was such a resolution as he had never
experienced before. 1t thrilled his entire
being with a strength Of purpose such as
comes not eften to common man.


Doctor" he said, "you must carry me
to Bronson's."


"Carry you, with your crippled fect-I
guess not"


"And guess yes. tell you, l am CO.

something. But first of all--you needn'

the young man continued;


"Then draw up one while | am getting
dressed. You'll find paper in that desk by
the window and make it as strong as the
English language will admit of put in
Greek if ours doesn't cover the whole
ground"


The physician complied, though writing
temperance pledges was new branch OF
his business, and although he doubted the
expediency of taking his patient out into
the sharp frosty air.

Men of business, believe me, there
is now and then profitable venture
in doing nothing at all; in the pow
er to put business aside, and abiding
now and then in perfect quiet.
Things sometimes solve themselves,
when we give them that advantage,
which refuse to come clear for all
our trying. We all know how, by
simply taking some perplexity into
the deepest silence this side of death
"a good nights sleep-we can DO
better sometimes than If we sat up
and wrought at a task all night.
When Matthew Murray, of Leeds,
wanted TO see his way through SEINE
sore perplexity in his inventions,
and all other effort was of no use,
he rested day and night from all
noise, and all effort except the effort
an active man has to keep himself
quiet: and then the thing he wanted
would steal in and look at him and
light on him, and stay as birds used
to light on the old hermits, no more
afraid of them than the trees under
which they sat. And mothers, you
may care and toll necessarily for
your little ones, never resting 8 mo-
ment in your devotion; and then be-
cause you never do be quiet, but en-
ter into your closet with a little
frock to mend, you shall never be
quite able to take the whole sun
light, and sum of your motherhood
into your heart. You will be so
fun of. care about the bread that
perishes as to miss the bread that
cometh down from heaven. No
person in the world needs so much
now and then TO be still, and open
her soul ouly to the silence as an
earnest, energetic, whole-hearted
mother. Then eternal activity is
almost sure to run at last into shad-
ows.-Ro6eTt CoHye1-, IN JRdepshd-

DOING GOoD.-Doyou want to do
good with out money? Then be good
to yourselves. A true and virtuQus
man necessarily exerts a good infu-

not be perfect, strive TO attain as
near perfection AS possible. This is
the nobiest struggle in which you

you and make you fulfill the great
end of your existence. A clergyman

had the happy privilege of paying
her attentions to numerous grand
children. This is certainly a very
remarkable case, and we doubt if
the medical records show a similar
