It was a German physician who attri¬
buted bis long iife to toe fact that he al
ways slept with his head to the north,
and he furnished aa explanation which
is very suitable to tbese days of mag¬
netic and electric marvels. He declared
that the iron contained in the human
system, finding itself in the direction, of
the magnetic current which of tbe continually
flowB over the surface globe to¬
wards the north pole becomes magnet
ized and so increases the energy of the

The ether day Parson Briggs an old
time preacher from “a way in the conn
try,' paid his first visit to Little Rock.
.
He went to the residence of old ’Squire
' Muckle who time had lived in
at one
the parson's neighborhood. exceedingly' The
Squire's family were giatt
to Si e the, parson for years sg> he had
taken off hie saddle at the Squire’s
gr'»; had eaten corn bread and cabbage
with the family and bad r ing and pray*
ed until the boys who had plowed all
day fell asleep. After singing the fatni
liar songs and praying the old familiar
prayer the Squire conducted the par¬
son to the bed-room designed for the
rest of the good old servant.
“What do you call, this!’ asked the
parson regarding with an air :f inter¬
act a mosquito-b -,r expended above t he
bed.
‘ Why that is a mosqaitc-b.ir.’
“What account ia it?
.. To bepp off nrosqitoes?'
j ‘ Brother Muckle i though: that you
j were too sensible a man to give way

i you want to hang 'hat thing over me
Take it down please. I’m afraid that
the vanity that I've ailers heard 'urked
about these towns is taking a-’.:old of
you?
The bar was taken (Iowd and the old
man blew out his candle which he als
w;,vs carried in hi? saddle-bag v-ith a
1 “puff' and retired, Yad
?ae 'Squire Mr?. Mackle slept
! in an adjoining room. They had been
in bed but a fe moments when
M a o k! e* r eh: *. <■ k ed :
“Wast wet that noise?*
“Pow pang!’ cam© from the adjoining
room.
I don’t know what it is? answered
the’Squire stuffing t ha corner of the
pillow into his mouth.
“Slap!' came from the next room.
“Did vouhear that?’ exclaimed Mrs,
Muckle."
“It’s nothing? Baid the 'Sqtli ri A *
, “Something is shaking bad, Mr*
Muck l a?
“S’ap, rlap!’ *
“Go in there and see what’s tbe matx
ter with the parson, Mr. Mucklo?
Mackle “Chuck, chuck, chuck? was all that
could say,
“You act like a man that hasn't got
any sense. You’d lay here and see a
man dia in the Dext room?
“How can I lay here and (chuck) see
a man in the (chuck) next room? The
door's shut and the lights are all out?
“Slap hang!'
“You must go in thers Mr. Muckle. '
“Why don’t you go?
“Thins I’m going into a man’s room?
All right if the old man diss it ain't my
fault, and Mrs. Muckle turned over.
Mr. Muckle chuckled himself to sleep.
Next morning when the parson ap¬
peared at the breakfast table he pre¬
sented a swollen appearance. His face
wca covered with lumps au3 his hands
looked as though he had the nettle
rash.
“I lay there and fit them things all
night? be said solemnly. ‘Reckon you'd
better put up tnat thin looking sheet?
and bowiQg over his plate he said,
“Gracious Lord make us thankful for

LoYe th Christ smooths the path of
duty and wings the feet to travel it; it

tho wheels of duty; it is the strong
arm tugging tho oar of diligence. Love
is the marrow of the bones of fidelity
the blood in the viens of piety rue si¬
news of spiritual strength; yea, tho life
of sincere devotion. He that hath iove
can uo more be motionless thau tbe as¬
pen in the gale the sear leaf in the hur¬
ricane or the spray in the tempest. As
well may hearts cease to beat as love to
labor. Love is iustinot with activity
it cannot be idle; it ia fail of energy,
it cannot content itself with littlos; it is
the well-spring of heroism and groat
deeds are chu gushings ot its toumain;
it is a giant it heapeth mountains upon
mountains aud thinkotli the pile but
little it is a mighty mysnery for it
chauges bitter into sweet, it calls death
life and lit'o death, and it makes pain

Here is about tho moat strictly local
work of a whirlwind on record- A ship

She;was sailing oiue knots,with no cloud

a crash. Goes op to find the mainmast,
lying over the starboard side, with tni;>
zentoptnast, foretopsail yardj and Lyev

ed off near the deck. The mate said ho
had beard a rushing sound; the whirl¬
wind struck tbe sails on the mainmast
with a thud—those on other masts be¬
ing untouched—aud away, went* the
mast aud spars mentioned. The ship
was otherwise all right, the wreck was
cut away, and she sailed safsly iuto Jim.
