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 ?” li O Land ! O Land ! For ail the brufcen-hearted, The mildfgt herald t>7 our fate allotted Beckons, au*l with inverted torch doth stanc, To lead us with .a gentle hand Into the land of the srroat departed— Into the silent land 1 ’ A recent advertisement in the Brooklyn Eagle announces a most extraordinary equestrian performance —that is, provided the challenge is accepted. M e read that ‘Young Frank Shaw, of Brooklyn, is anx ious to ride Mr. Cooth, tho volocipodist, of England. Master Shaw will ride him a half or a quarter of a mile on the Oapitt>— liae Grounds, at any time he may name.’ Curd its how different sotiDds travel. The sound of a dinner horn, for instace, travels half a mile in a second, while an invitation to got up iu the morning takes half an hour to get up two flights of stairs. _ 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.

If a soul loves Jesiy, Jesus loves that soul." rrouANu and who who nave fought the world side by side, who have made common stock of joy and sorrow, and grown aged together, are not unfrequeutly found curi ous alike in pitch and tone of voice, just as twin pebbles on the beach exposed to the same tidal influence, are each other's self, lie has gained a feminine Something which brings his manhood into full relief. She has gained a masculine something which acts as a foil to her womanhood. Ijiphovi.no Creation. —Carl Vogt men tions, in a scientific article in the New Free Press, an anecdote which Leopold Von Buch told at the Congress of friends *of Natural Science in Erlangen. Over the entrance of the former Botanical Gaadeu, in Munich, the following inscription was placed :—“What God the Lord has scat tered all over the earth, the Elector Max has caused here to be planted in order ac cording to system.” 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 upou us. We will soon have entered upon the dog-days, when more than usual care will be necessary on the part of those sus ceptible to the rays of earth's illuminator. A damp handkerchief, a leaf, any article possessed of the power of absorbing heat, will suffice, placed in a hat, to grant im munity of all. If Chkist is not truly God, then Moham med would indisputably have been a far greater man than Christ, as be would havo been more veracious, more circumspect and more zealous for the Akve since Christ fur idolatry ; S l ™?. on the other hand, not a single ex pression can be laid to the charge of Mo hammed. — Lessiny. a. a.it«d on ram an, who pulled flfty-ouo public races on the Thames during the years from 1850 to 1867, writes that of the first twenty-five, which were rowed on or dinary alcholic beverages, he won fifteen and lost ten* hut of the last twenty-six, when tho principal liquid consumed was milk, be won twenty two and lost four. Three r urths of humanity go through life like scholars trying to solve a problem in mathematics. They cipher on their glatf.s, then rub out the figures, raok their brains anew, and cipher and rub out, and cipher again, till often school closes for the night and the problem is etiil unsolved. A little boy who had imbibed more of the Young America spirit than of polite ness, was reproved last Fourth of July f«»r picking his nose. “It’s my nose," be. re plied, “and this is the day of American Independence, and I’ll pick thunder out of it if I’m a mind to.” 1 It is said that a firm in New York keeps a record of tho marriages that occur, and after the proper time has elapsed, sends a circular to the guilty parties stating that the firm has on hand bahy-elothes all ready for action. That is what we call business. An old lake captain, at an Ohio funeral, responded to the whispered inquiry “how tho departed locked” in a tono of voieo which might have been heard miles in a northeaster, “Firs’ rate ; firs’ rate ; eeed John looking better in bts life.
