PftMiug Away,
Eifo i* changing daily The teachers J
of tbia truth are many. We hardly be
gin to live ere it is time to die. We
may read it in the falling leal. The
shadow is but a picture of life. Fvety .
time the heart beats is say* “passing
away.” Somebody dies, and somebody
to born to fill the place evey time your
heart heats. Every pain in the body
reminds us that we are passing away
Life is uncertain, but death, sooner or
later, is sure. It is only a question of
time how long we shall pitch our tents
in the wilderness. The dew drops spar
, k)e like diamonds, hut the sun soon
i spoils their beauty. Above us the flying
Gouda proclaim the message, “passing
■•way,” and beneath cur feet the wither
ed grass and fading flowers tell us the
same story. Around ua the whistling
wind tells us we are mortal,asit shakes
our frail frames,and within us a small
still voice cot,firms the testimony.
With so many evidences of human
frailty how could an attentive observer
be ignorant of the fact tb,.t man, at
his best is altogethei vanity? Verily
“in the midst of life we are in oeath,”
for we see young and old fal ing
before the reaper's glistening sickle.—
With numberless ailments and acci
dents to hurry mortals tc the tomb, it
is e marvel that more do not die under
the age oL maturity. We are all
marching on to the great hat'le-field
of death as fast as the swift-footed
steed of time can carry us. We see it
everywhere and feel it every time we
breathe that we must return to dust,
and mingle with our parent earth.—
Even the immovable mountains must
pass away as well as man himself.—
Things of time are ever changing while
things of eternity are unchangeable.—
May our passing away hn,like that of
the setting sun in a cloudless sky -calm
but beautiful.
Can This Ue Trn* ?
One of the most remarkable instan
ce* on record of parental devotion aDd
of success in keeping secret a family
affliction may he found in the family
of a citizen who is keeping a drinking
saloon in the western part of the city.
Twenty-seven years ago he kept a
houseou western row Ahoutthat times
number t f houses in the vicinity were
destroyed by fire in the r ightinclutfing
his residence. His wife in a delicate
condition suffered mnch from fright
and consequently gave birth to a mon
strosity—an offspring without any of
the better sens- s of a living creature,
except batof sight— without toes or fing
ers; deaf, speechless, without the least
spark of interlect or instinct. Twenty
seven years have passed, and th.< fam
ily have kept this creature in the
household, secreted in a room and only
a few sf the neighbors besides who ate
on the most intimate lelations have
known of its existence. It eats when
food i6 placed to its mouth aud is kept
in a cleanly condition by the most con
stant care. A long beard has grown
on its face. It is at out three feet iu
length. It crswls about some be*
mo>eß with gieat difficulty. That
such a creature has lived so long is
singular. Ttmt a family, instead of
placing it income asylum has endured
its presence in their midst and nurtured
it in assiduous privacy through all of
these years is a strange and affecting
incident of paternal devotion.—
From the Cincinnati Commercirl January

A Terrible Fate
In India lepers are occasionally bur
l ieo alive. W hen a leper is past all hope
of living more than few days or weeks
his nearest relations arrange with bis
approval for his immediate interment.
Self-destructiou by burial i* called
tamadh aud is regarded as so highly
meritorious that the disease is sure to
die out in the family of the victim.—
So lately as 1875 a leper named
Oomao living and lingering at Berohi
entreated his wife to put an end to his
misery. A bunnia or tradsman was
accordingly engaged to make the
necessary arrangements which simply
consisted iu hiring a coup e of laborers
to dig a hole into which they thrust
Oomao consenting to hi* own death.
The durbar coerced by the British
Ooverment at length took .cognizance
of this incident and fined the widow
one hundred rupees. The Bunnia was
sentenced to three years imprisonment
and the grave-digers each to two years
but it is very unlikely that they will
undergo half that punishment.
The missing Link.
Some years ago a traveller came
back from Africa with a marveloua
story of a reg'on inhabited by men
with tails. F om qaite anothar quar
ter of the world report now reaches ue
that the half ape, half man, t no myth.
The Rev. George Brown, who has
recentlvjvisited the NewJ Britain; and
jffsz Ireland group of islands to the
east of New Guinea, writes that the
natives of Blanche B*y positively af
firm s’t he existence of s race of men
with tails at a place [called Kalihi.
When it was snggestedjthat
posed men j might be gonillas the
blacks indignantly resented the impu
tation upon their intelligence, and
asked whetbor apes tought witn
spears, planted yams and built houses.
A was given of tho
curiou-ly formed savages, and from
this it]vt ould appear that nature has
been somewhat int onsiderate in her
des gn <tf the appendage. The tail,
tho natives say, “is haid and inflex
ible—-eo.much they have to
dig a hole in the ground before hey
can sit down, as they die at once if
the appendage is broken.” The peo
ple provided with this dangerous or
narneut are, however, represented as
rather prqud of it. “Any child born
without it is destroyed, for fear it
should be ridiculed when it grows
up.”

It-was a cold, datk night iu winter.
The wind blew, and the snow was
whit led fur iously about, seeking', to
hide itself beneath cloaks and ho, ds,
and in tho very hair of these who
were out. A distinguished lecturer
was to speak, and uotwithotandi’ g

ventured lotlh to hear him
William Annesly, buttoned up to his
chin in his thick overcoat, accompa
nied his mother It was difficult to
walk through snow against
the piercing wind, and r W.lliam said
to his mother :
“Couldn’t you walk easier if you
took my arm?”
“Perhap- I could,” his mother re
plied, as she put her arm through his,
and drew up asjiiosely as possible to
him Together they breasted the
etorm--the mother and the boy who
had once been carried in her arms,
but who hsd now growo up so tall
that she could lean on his- They had
not walked very far before he said:
“I am very proud to-night mother.”
“Proud ttiat yon can take ctre of
me?” she said to b : m, with a heart
gushing with tenderness.
“This is the fust time you have
leaned u[>on me,” said the happy
boy.

child’s life of more [exalted -[pleasure
than he enjoyed that evening, even if

watched over him.
A Poor Business-
Sojwe heard a farmer say of his
occupation a few days since while
standing on the street corner. Now,
we know that farmer, and unfortun
ately, there are too many like him.—
Farming, like everything else, re
quires judgment, industry, attention
and some brains to make it pay. Go
into the business bouses of this city
and see who are prospering ; it is true
men who devote themselves to tbeii
business, plan hard tojprovide for and
to increase it. To make farming pay,
plauting and sowing annual crops
alone, will not do it- The farmer must
breed stock, not looking alone ro the
natural increase, but at the same time
to make it hotter. If hia hogs are
pietty fair hedesiiesan improvement;
if his cattle are good, he wishes bet
ter; in short, his aim and wish is to
improve everything about his farm.
He has shads and barns for his stock
and produce. He has his garden aad
orchard, and they are looked after
and attended to- By firing ou his
farm and watching its every interest,
he makes it pay. He'pays no atten
tion to the silver tongue of agents
who sell emigrant tickets to the west,
nor dues he read bureau pamphlets of
the rich lands of the west, but studies
how to restore his fields to their for
mer feitility; how to introduce some
added convenience for the comfort of
Lis wife and children, or for the good
of his sffeck. He not only makes
farming pay, but esuses his home to
be moie attractive and his domestic
intercourse more refined.

Around the idea of one’s mother
the tniud of man clings with fond af
fection. It is the first dear thought
stumped upon our i ifaut hearts, when
yet soft and capable of receiving the
most profound impressions, and all
the after feelings are moie or less
light in comparison Our jassious
and our willfulness may lead us far
from the object of filial love; we may
become wild, headstrong an.i angry at
her counselor opposition, but jwhen
death has stillsu her monitory voices
and nothing but calm memory remains
o recapitulate her virtues and good
deeds, affection, like a flower neater
to the ground by rude storms, raises up
her head and smiles amid.-1 her tears.
Kour.d that idea, as we have said, the
miod clings with fond affection; and
even when poriod of our
loss forces memory to be silent, fancy
takes tin place,of remembiauce, and
twines the image of our deparicd pa
rent with a garland of graces, aud
beauties, and virtues, which we doubt
not that she possessed.

A young man stood listlessly watching
some anglers on a biidge He was
poor and dejected. At last approach
ing s basket filled with wholesome
looking fish, he sighed ;
“If now I had these I would be
happy. I could sell them at a fair

“I wil! give you just as many and

hud chanced to overhear his words,
“if you will do me a fav t.”
“And what is that ?” asked the other.
“Only to tend this ifte till I come

Politeness is to a man what beauty
is toja woraaD. It creates an instan
taneous impression in his behalf, while
ihe opposite quality exercises as quick
a prejudioe against him. The politic

stantly his frieud. The vry tones in
which he asks lor a match to light his
cigar is often more potent than there
of a Webster or a Clay. Polished
manners have mode hundreds suc
cessful, while the Lest of men by
their hardness and coolness have done
themselves an incalculable injury, the
shell being so rough that the world
could not believe that the e wasapre

Social Mfe.
Any great moveuieut for good in sc
cial life begins at home. It begins
with father* and mothers. The first
and highest duty is to make home
cheerful and attractive. Husband
and wife must do this for each other.
Without this their na’ural afiections
will dry up. If they have children, it
is thoir duty to make home sweet and
precious to them. Children with good
homes seldom go to the bad. Girls
who have learned to trust tlreir moth
eis, in their whole round of thought,
seldom get talked about. Boys who
nave been made t<> feel the strengtn
of a fath i’k and the tenderness ot a
mother’s love seldom run wild. Their
natural lore of fun and mischief does
not bind them over to the devil’s serv
ice. Plesant, cheerful bright homes,
then, are in great demand. They
may be poor, bat they o&n atill be
pUaaant and attractive and good. Tbe
heart and spirit are more than fur
niture and dwelling.
