.THE DEFECTIVE STONE.
“Don’t put in that stune,” said one ma
son to another as they were walking to
gether on the rear wall of a ehoroh.
‘ Can’t you see it’s of poi*r quality, ail flaky,
and will scale away to pieces !”
“It isn’t -very good, 1 see, but it fit? in
here, and I don’t want to wait fur another.
Besides, you can’t see it from the ground,
and nobody will take the trouble to o’iinl#
up here and look at it.”
“You’d better send for another block ;
that isn’t fit for the wall ; it wont stand the
weather, and if it should go to pieces, it
would damage the whole building.”
“I guess it wont damage me nor you
either, so here it goes.”
And he lifted the block of the loose
grained, flaky freestone into its bed, though
the outer shell sloughed off. He dashed
over it a trowel full of mortar, and went
on with the next tier. Nobody could see
Ue defective stone, for it was covered by a
protective,,buttress, and only the two mas
ons were present when it was laid. But
though unseen it was unsafe, and time
brought about its own results. Every sun
beam loosened its tex urea little, every
storm helped to crumble off a minute frag
ment, and a little by little, alter many
years the stone crumbled away.
That was surely bad enough, but that
*i 11 Tt- /.Kan/yul JOiuK ,ik*> •*>" ~ *
beams 1 i the root rested a tew tiers above
directly over tho defective block, arid
as the stone decayed the beam sank a lit
tle. Presently a crack opened in the ceil
ing, disfiguring the fresco painting, and the
crack grew to a leak, letting in the rain
And then at last the worthless block fell
out, the beam dropped down, the roof sank
in, and the church was no longer fit for use
until alter the loss of .much time, and the
expenditure ot much money, anew roof
was built and anew block insertei in the
wall, it was only a small defect, but it
did much damage in the end. There is a
structure which everybody is building,
young and old, eech for himself. It is call
ed character, and isi every act of life is a
stone. If day by day we are careful to
build our lives with pure, noble, upright
deeds, at the end will stand it fair temple,
honored by God and man. But as one leak
will sink the ship, and one flaw break the
chain, so one mean, dishonored, untruthful
act or work will forever leave its influence
on our characters. Then let the several
deeds un’ue to form a perfect day, and one
by one the days grow into noble years, and
as they pass- will raise at last a beautiful
edifice, enduring forever to our praise.
Signs of tiie Hands. —A little work on
“Modern Palmistry” brings together a
large amount of amusing gossip, but we
cannot say bow much you must believe of
it. The person who Will carefully study
the wrinkles, furrows, lines and hollows on
the hands, will be aide to tell fortunes as
well as any modern gipscy.
If the palm of the hand be long, and the
fingers well proportioned, etc., not soft, but
rather hard, it denotes the person to be in
genious, changeable, and given to theft
and vice. If the hands be hollow, sulid
and well knit in the joints, it predicts long
life, but if overthwarted, then it denotes
shnrt life.
Observe the fingcus of Mercury -that is,
the little finger; it the end of it exceeds the
joint of the ring finger, such a man will
rule his own house, and bis wife wiU fie
pleasing and obedient to him ; but if it be
short and does not reach the joint, he will
have a shrew, and she will be boss.
Broad n .i 1 s show the person to be bash
ful, fearful, but of a gentle nature. Nar
row nails denote the person to be inclined
to mischief, and to do injury to his neigh
bors. Long nails show a person to be
good-natured, but distrustful, and loving
reconciliation rather than difference. Ob
lique nails signify deceit and want of cour
age. Little round nails denote obstinacy,
anger and hatred. If they are crooked at
the extremity they show pride and fierce
ness. Round nails show a choleric person,
yet soon reconciled, honesty, a lover of see
cret science. Fleshy nails denote the per
son to be mild in temper, idle .a n( il lazy.
Pale and black nails show the person to be
very deceitful to his neighbor, and subject
to many diseases. Red and inarxed nails
signify choleric and martial nature, given
to crueltv ; and as many little marks as are
there speak so many evil desires.
Blindness in Egypt. —ln Cairo, of the
entire population, it is carefully computed
one person in every six, male and female,
is eitner blind or going to bo; is either
hopeless, or has diseased eves. This dis
temper baffles all cure, and is said to be
owing in part to the excessive glare of the
sun, partly to rapid changes in temperature
passing in or out of the shaded streets, and
partly”to tho grievous pest of flies which
attack children even in infancy, and ruin
their organs of sight.
Hints ab ur Sleeting. — Dr. Hall thinks
that good sleeping depends aqmewhat on
the e-»ndition i*f the sleeper when he retires.
Tue stomach’l&ould be in good Condition,
no*overloaded with undigested food. In
cold or damp weather the feet should be
Warmed a few mir u’es t and all anxious
thought cares should be dis Visaed.
The foryoung anil mid lie-aged people
sh’old be y hu«k or hair mattress, but a
The feet at|d lowtr limbs sh u!d be warm
ly covered 0 > as to draw the blood from the
head arid Irc-ven: dreaming It is best to
lie r:ght 9:de, as that aids rather
than impeles digestion, but in no case sleep
on the bade. But under no circumstances
should tw» persons save mother and infant
—sleep tgether in .he some bed, or even
in the sa/he room. Dr. II ill brings togeth
er a rurfuVer of reasons why this very com
mon practice should be done away with.
It is indelicate. It destroys privacy. It
weakens self respect. It is injurious to
health in that two persons consume more
air than an ordinary chambeV holds, or than
£<\od ventilation will supply, while the
d.fferenoe in the tetnperment and electrical
conditions of almost any two persons ren
der it exceedingly improper for them to
occupy the same bed. Many a child has
wilted and waned and finally died from no
other cau-e than sleeping with middle-aged
or old persons. The animals heard togeth
er, but human beings should have each bis
own r oui and bed. The great thing, how
ever, is to be supplied with a plenty of
pure air through the night. A grown per
son breathes about eighteen hogsheads of
air in eight hours’ sleep. Every breath
somewhat vitiates all the air in the room,
as a drop of ink discolors #ll the water in
a glass, and unless the air is constantly
renewed by proper ventilation, it soon be
comes impure unfit to breathe, if not utter
ly poisoned. Death in consequence of
breathing bad air is not an unusual occur'
rence, bur hundreds of persons have had
their health impaired, their strength wast
ed and their lives shortened, by sleeping in
a closed apartment. There should be free
and abundant circulation of pure air
through the chamber, in order to sleep and
to get rest and refreshment from the
sleep; and standing water, articles of
clothing, brushes, and even a carpet, should
be rigdly excluded from the chamber —the
latter article in particular, avS it collects
and holds the fine particles of dust which
the air gathers up and deposits in the
sleeper’s lungs.. In order to sleep well it
is best to retire regularly at an early hour,
and sleep until we wake ; but in no case a
second nap' after the morning waking, and
in no case sleep more than ten minutes in
the day time when well. The system will
very soon take all .the sleep it wants in the
night, and the sleep will be sweet arid re
freshing. It does not follow that one
shpjld rise the moment he wakes, Dr. Hall
RV‘ V-D in tbtff. itfrrFea . wmi, TT«nry
Ward lieecher. who always plans the work
of the day before getting out of bed. IPer
haps this is one reason why he is able to
do so much.
Death a Blessing.—The following fine
passage is from “The Primeval World of
Hebrew Tradition, anew volume by Rev.
F. 11. Hedge, D. D., lately pupblished by
Roberts Brothers:
If, then, we fairly envisage the idea of a
life of nine hundred years; if we picture to
ourselves the intolerable burden of such a
life, we can hardly believe that the men of
the antediluvian world were cursed with
that load. And the more wo ponder this
idea the more clearly we shall see the falsity
of the old theological view that represents
death the death of the body—as a curse
which man drew down upon himself by Inis
disobedience. Not a curse, but a blessing,
without which life itself would be a curse.
Os all ihe angels that wait around the Throne
and do the bidding of eternal Love, there
is none whose ministry is more indispensable
than that es the angel of death. Whatever
sorrows may attend the timing, the method,
and incidents of that ministration, Ihe end
is sure and supreme blessing.
In the order of nature, every day of earth ly
ly existence is rounded with a sleep by
which the soul dies into new and replen
ished life. If that sleep, which is tempor
ary death, be 10-'g withheld, insanity en
sues. The mirid cannot bear the strain of
a too protracted waking. And by the same
order the great day of mortality must have
its crowning sleep of proportionate dura
tion. If that crowning sleep w<*re too long
deferrred the interminable day would boa
burden aid a curse.
And why, it may be asked, if death is a
necessityfor this world’s use, why not also
for the tse of the next? If eartblv life
must beihortened to meet the requirements
of finite nature, how, hereafter, shall finite
nature lear the burden oT immortality ? I
suppose! hat hereafter, also, there may be
the reed from time to time, of “a sleep and
ir-fui gts*C»Lig,” the ave.-i aueumixliuo tuon
experieice on the soul. Immortality uray
be a seres of births instead of one continu
ous iivitg. Successive deaths may the
risers ct those “alter -stairs that slope
through darkness up to God ;” each stair a
nets day of -spiritual life, a higher capacity
of serviceable action, a nearer revelation of
the infinite Love.
But all this is hidden behind the earth,
among the mysteries of the unknown land
whose day canoot dawn till earth’6 declines.
•We only know that the “undiscovered
country” must be reached, if at all, through
thi night ot death. And will we not wei
come, when it comes, the eilent guide to the
“sdent land ?”

Beru > Mountain.—The vastness of the
mineral wealth of California and the ad
joining territory is by no means as yet
comprehended. Gold mining hua ot late
years fallen off in some degree, probably
from the same causes which have affected
industry every where ; but the production of
siDer has evidently yet to see its culmina
tion in that rich section. Washoe, White
Pine, Gold llill y Virginia, have become
prominent as tho names of several of these
natural treasure vaults, the Comstock T,oJe
is wa'ting a tunnel U>r its development, and
yet the discoveries proceed with the most
Strangely fortunate results, seemingly prov
ing the dep »sit of the precious metal to be
inexhaustible.
The mythical story of the Salt lake
fisherman, who was carried down the
whirlpool and floated along a subterranean
river whose sides were B<>i»d silver ore,
Beeni9 almost realized in the latest mines
discovered in New Mi xico. These mines,
or ledges are, by all accounts, the most
remarkable that have been found. They
are- located in the Burro district, at an al
titude of some five thousand fedt above the
level ot the sea. The ledges nre from thirty
to sixty-fi\6 feet wide, projecting boldly
from the surface thirty or forty feet, so as
to become visible at a distance of fifteen
miles. The ledges form the northern end
of the Pyramid Mountains, and are appar
ently, formed by the washing away of the
earth from immense veins of quartz forced
up from beneath. The sides of the moun
tains are a complete network of similar
veins running in all directions, c vering an
area of six square mihs. The discovery
was made a traveller last year passing from
Denver down the Rio Grande to El Paso,
lie saw indications of silver, but hud no
time to make investigations of the great
ledges he saw in the distance. In January
last a party of these men set out to prospect
tho place, and immediately located claims
and recorded them under the laws of New
Mexico. Since that time the work has
been pushed as rapidly as the distant lo
cation of the mines would permit. The
New Mexican Mining Company luld the
title, anew town has been laid out, mills
pnt in opperation, a municipal government
formed, a canal and railway company
organized with a capital often millions, and
everything started on a commensurate scale.
The wai rant for tiiis enthusiasm is the
universal opinion of experts, and all who
have been there, that the Burro mines are
the richest in the world, to which is added
the testimony of showing a yield
of, in some cases, SSOOO a ton, or more, an]
all richly paying. The immense extent ot
these mines and their exceptional richness,
make the discovery the most important of
late years in that wonderful region.
An Anecdote of Jeffrey and Cock
burn. —In a case in which Jeffrey Jind C* ck
burn were engaged as barristers,
nun uruhe an ter uic c^ni ,y ur uuv
parties concerned. “Js tlie defendant, in
your opinion, perfectly sane ?” said Jeffrey,
interrogating one of the witnesses, a plain,
stupid-looking countryman. The witness
gazed in bewilderment at the questioner,
but gave no answer. It was clear that he
did not understand the question. Jeffrey
repeated it, uttering the words : “Do you
think the defendant capable of managing
his-own affairs ?” Still in vain ; the wit
ness only stared the harder- “I ask you
again,” said Jeffrey, still with his clear
English enunciation, “do you consider the
man perfectly rational?” No answer yet,
the witness only staring vacantly at the
little figure of his interrogator, and ex
claiming, “Eh ?” ‘‘Let me take him,” said
Cockburn. Then assuming the broadest
Scotch tone and turning to the obtuse wit
ness “liae ye your mull wi’ ye!” ‘Ow,
ay,” said the man, stretching out his snuff
b 'X. “Noo, hoo lang have ye kent Jam
Sampson ?” said Cockburn, taking a pinch.
“Ever since he was a babbv.” And d’ye
think noo atween you and me, that there’s
anything intil the cratur?’ “I w mid na
linpen (trust) him wi’ a hull calf,” was the
instant and briliant r-joinder. Cockburn
could certainly use the tools needed in a
Scotch Jury trial better than Lord Jeffrey,
though inferior to him as a lawyer or%d
voeate.
Put that Rascal Out. While the con
gregation were collected at church on a
certain occasion, an old, dark, hard-feat
ures, skin-and-bone individual, was seen
winding his way up the aisle and taking
his seat near tire pulpit. The officiating
minister was one of that class who de;e.-ted
written sermons, and as for prayers he
thought they ought to be the natural out
pouriugs of the heart. After singing was
concluded, they were as usual called to
prayer. The genius we have introduced
did not kneel, but leaned his Lead devutL'n
a'ly on the pew. The mtnistw began by
saving: . ,
■patE-- nf all in everv age, by saint ana
savage adored —•
“Pope!” said a low, bat clear voice near
old hard features.
The minister, after casting an indignant
look in the direction of the voice, contin
ued :
“Whose throne. sitteth on adamantine
hills of Paradise —”
‘'Milton!” again interrupted the voice.
The minister’s lip quivered for a mo
rnent, but recovering himself he began .
“We thank Theo mo;*t gracious Father,
that we are permitted once more to assem
ble in Thy name, while others, equally
meritorious, but less favored, have been
carried beyond that bourne from which no
traveller return? ” _
“Shakespeare again interrupted tue
voice.
This was too much-. “Put that impu
dent rascal out.” shouted the minister.
“Original 1” ejaculated the voice, in the
same calm but clear provoking munner.
A Gentle Hint.—We know a miflister
who was generally able to keep his eongre •
nation wide awake, but who, on one
occasion—it was a sultry summer day
observed numbers of them asleep. He
resolved to nip the evil practice iu the bud.
So taking a good survey of the scenes be
fore and around him, he exclaimed, ‘ J saw
an advertisement iaei week for five hundred
sleepers for a railroad. I think I could
supply it with at least fifty, and recom
mend them as good and sound.” It is,
perhaps, ueedlesß to add, that eupply in
stantly vanished.
Nothing can be more prejudicial to the
public welfare than the manner in which
the bail privilege 18 abased in out- CuttrtJ.
Tae remedy lies only in the prosecution
e spelling n genuine and available bail
bond, and when forfeited, collect it. Prompt
action iu this direction can alone force re
liable security and effectually thrust “straw
bail” out of the market. It is notorious
that this fictitious security is manufactured
within the the uear precincts of all out*
c urt,-rooms at a moment’* notice, and se
curity to any amount procured without a
seeming efi’-rt. The fact is, a horde of
professional bondsmen are ever to be found
prowling in the vicinity of our “halls ot
justice" eager, fora trifling consideiatiou,
t» go anybody's bail, and these vampires
are r..rely required to more than swear to
their imaginary riches. Iu reality they
have scarcely a dollar; but the prisoner,
however guilty, is liberated on their bond,
and that is the last ever seen nr heard if
either the erimnal or his bailsman in (hut
case. Is it to be wondered at that our presa
and people are crying out at the fearful
increase of crime in our midst, and the law
and its sanctity adjudged a burlesque and
a vacuity ? *
Living Beymnd Tiieik Means.— Bulwer
snys that poverty is only an idea, nine
times out of ten. Some men with ten
thousand dollars a year suffer more for the
want of means than others with three
hundred. The reason is, the richer tn:m
has artificial wants. His income is ten
thousand dollars, and he suffers enough
from being duunod for unpaid del ts to kill
a sensitive man. A man who euros a dollar
a day and does not run in debt is the hap
pier of the two. Very few people who
have never been rich wiif believe it is true.
There are thousands and thousands with
princely incomes who never known a mo
ment’s peace’, because they live above their
means. There is really more happiness in
the world among the working people than
among those w ho urc called rich.
Rev. Pr. Tvnq on Creeds. —At a late
meeting of the Evangelical Alliance in
New Vmk, Rev. Dr. Tyng, Epi-copal, said
“that he abhorred creeds, ami should per
t-istently resist their introduction at their
next meeting. 110 believed in a great noble
Catholic Christianity. lie did not believe
in Episcopalianisin or Presbyterianism. It
did not make a particle of difference wheth

believed that it made no difference about

Sun Stroke. — It is surprising that when
so simple a thing as a cabbage leaf will
effectually protect people from a stroke of
the suu that so many become victims to it
every year. The hot season is now fairly

possessed of the power of absorbing heat,
will suffice, placed in a hat, to grant im
