It was il'isl ed with a hue like that of health ;

io cr.julenarice His brow w.u broad ond
fair. at:d tbe thick lucks thut clustered hoc
from hu temples culled like the riglets of a

experienced an ur.us'jul and andJen .ympathy
for this young man, struck down iu his beauty ;
still be f, lt theie jo no jiouit'J.btu danger iu

"il w is be wnni ded ?" la asked of tbe

' In the right side, below tbe ribs," was the
reply.
' Is be iu d ji eer !'
0! no; that i. not at present The case

through tbe sympithy of suffering, he knows
who ha borne tbe tin-; 8 fur hi in ; and on the
tented lield, tbe holy uatre or mother receives
a fresh baptltm of love and b-auty.
'1 cau imagine how yon feel, said the
chaplnin, "and 1 have no doubt tbat yna will

i Friend who will be more to you than
mother or father, sister or brother."
"1 realize tbat, air," said the yuoDg man
"1 am profeor f relieion, and have been

Alter a shoit praysr the minister and siclt

It knelled to departing moments, and its echo

The word came in a wHspcr. Ilia eve. were

hat in two yea s he had only seen two Phil,

The weekly product is now 7.'i,00f barrel,

Ii ia very dillicult to mke a vessel that will

IlicM Without Moist Msny a man is rich
without monay. Thousand of man wiih noth
ing in the pocket, are rich. A man born wiih a
good sound constitution, a good stomach, a good
heait and rood limbs, and a pretty good head piece
H rich, (iooj boners ata hetter than gold tiugh,
muscles, than ilver; and nerve that (!eh csr
carry t nergy tn every function, are betler than
1. anuses .nd land.
It ia belter than a landed estate to have tb
right kind of father an I mother. Good breed
nod bad breeds crisl among men aa really a
among herd and ho'ses. Education may dy
much to check evil tendenciea, or to develop good
one; but it is a gra-.t thing to inherit tha right
pronortion of faculties to start wiih.
That man is rich who has a good disposition
who isnaturaliy kii.d.ih.eiful, patient, hopeful,
and who always has a fltvor nf wit end fun in hi
disposition. The hardest thing to get along wiih
in his life is a man's own self. A crosa. selfish,
despnniting and complaining fellow a timid, care
burdened man ia deformed on the inside. Ills
