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 19. * 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.” Mouur Tliy mother. 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 the storm the villagers very generally 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. There will be few hours in that child’s life of more [exalted -[pleasure than he enjoyed that evening, even if he shottM live to old in his manhood, loviugly provide for her who, in his helpless infancy 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.

Therefore, when the butcher rubs his hand and asks what she will have, she promptly replies : “I’ll take some of that mut—” Sue s'ops there.

Here’s a splendid bit of veal as good a piece as I ever saw. “Yes, that does look like nice veal,” she says, lifting it up. “And you’ll take it?” “Let’s see,” she muses. “Y —no, I guess not. I’d better takojporkjchops ” * Nice chops—how much ?” lie-asks. “One of those slices will weigh a pound,l suppose?” “About a pound, madam.” “And it was a young hog?” “Quite youngish, madam.” “And you cut the rind off?” “Yes, madam.” “Well,” she says, heaving a deep tigh, “I guess you may give me some beef-steak—some that’s nice, and *e sure to cut ail the bone out!” And she’s only been half an hour buying a pound of beef-steak. A J^loliier. 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. Gov. Duval of FJor.da ran away from his father when a boy and cam* back yeais afterward* st.Jwart an! famous. It reminds us of a case right here at home, says an exchange, that few are acquainted with. A young man whom we all kuew as a promis ing, steady boy, took it into his head several years ago to try Texas. His fat.ier knew be had all the elements in him to make himaelf both rich and famous, and needed no prophecy to tell what the future had for him. Years rolled on a letter came an nouncing that the boy was returning a mao to be the stall and comfort ol his parents’ decliningjyears, and the old man knew then that his labors were over and that he could lean on the strong arm of his famous boy and help him enjoy the world’s plaudits.

Two sailors, who had a parrot with (hem. went into a magician's show, in an upper room in some foreign city.— Ttie three constituted the audience.— Aftei each teat of the magician's one of the sailors wou'd remark ; “That’s pretty good.

Cast a Lino fur Yourself, 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 price, and buy me f- od ami lodging.” “I wil! give you just as many and just as good fish,” said the owner, who 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 back ; I wish to go on a short 6rrand.” The proposal was gladly aooepted The old man was gon* so long that the young man began to be im patient. Meanwhile the hungry fish snapped greedi.y at the baited hook, and the young man lost all his de pression in excitement of pulling them in; and when the owner of the line returned, be had caught a large num ber. Ci untingout from them as many as were in the baske’, an! presenting them to the young mao, the fisherman si.id : “I fulfill my promise from the fish you have caught, to teach you when ®TCl )uu utl'PM what you need, to waste no time in fruitless wishing, but c t a line for youiself,” Tbo Easiest Way.

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.
