1-OYE OR MONEY.
There were three \1 i-w Gillet*. spinsters,
who lived with their t'nele Gillet, a bach
elor, in their oM stone house at At water,
and in pointing them out to strangers the
Atwatcrites were accustomed to remark
upon the fact that it was love or money
with them, and that a Mis, Gillet who
married would cease to he her uncle',
heiress.
Nobody knew just how much Mr. Gil
let waa "worth," hut that he was uncom
monly wealthy was certain. He had no
other living relations hut these three girls,
and his peculiar prejudices rendered it
unlikely that he would will his wealth
ary to any benevolent or public institu
tion whatever. So to whom could he
.eavetho ftohl that he could not take out*
of the worW with him, unless it were to
Georgian. Millicent and Dolly Gillet f
AU regularly instituted public charities
Mr. Gillet declared were ••frauds;" aud
friends he had none ; averred that friend
ship was "ell humbug." As for marriage,
it waa, in his opinion, something which
all s<visible people eschewed.
The tact that in his earnest youth a
dear friend bad stolen front him the affec
tions of the girl to whom he was betroth
ed, and 'loped with her on the very eve
of his wedding-day, was at the bottom of
all this. lie trusted no one. because the
two beings he had once loved and trusted
had nttetly deceived him.
Whea his brother and his wife died in
one week of a fever, the bachelor uncle
bad doae his best fiw the young people.
He managed their little income, and pro
vided luxuries for thein which their mean.*
would not have allowed. He educated
them, and allowed them a few female<
friends. But as they grew up, one law
was maintained with inviolable rigidity
There was to be no courting and no mar
rying beneath his roof. Beaux were
utterly forbidden, and it was understood
in the lainily that a Miss Gillet who mar
ried would he blotted from her uncle's
will.
" What infatuation! They'll fight like
cats and dogs in a year," he would exclaim
when wedding cards were sent to him.
" Take warning hr this poor con pie. who
don't know what is before them, girls.
Oh, what infatuation!".
And MGe Georgina GilDt would shake
her held, and her younger sisters would
folio* her example, and they would cry in
chorrm:
" What infatuation!"
They were pretty giris, tall, slender,
red-cbecked and bloe-eyed; little ear# like"
pevi. iiltle mouths like coral, dainty
waists and cunning hands—girls to be
loved and married by nature; hut there
was Tncle Gillet's money. So they grew
up and grew older, still single, and not
one of them had ever had a thought of
marriage in all her life.
There waa Oliver Robb, who had follow
ed Georgina about to and from church for
a year. 1 don't think he wanted the
heiress, I believe he loved the girl: but
what use was it f Georgina bad given bim
a glance or two, and he had found favor
in tier sight; but he had only a clerk's
salary, and it would be so delightful to
handle thousands of her own. And Milli
cent had met Rufus King in the apple
orchard once or twice; but Dolly had
never had even a paasiug flirtation—Dolly
who was now eighteen, and prettiest oi
the three. ,
ft was well-understood matter in the
village, as well as in the family, that mar
rying. a Gillet lost her inheritance.
Doctor Rush had heard it, and believed it
to be true, when I'ocle Gillet having a
touch of rheumatism, sent for him to pre
scribe. He had always thought the three
slender girls, with ripe round cheeks
dappled with peach color, tne prettiest
things he had ever seen; but when he
stood face to face with Dolly, he fell in
love with her. He looked atter her ns she
went out of the room, and Uncle Gillet
looked at him sbarpiy,
"My niece is a pretty girl," he said. 44 1
see TOO think so. She's a sensible girl too.
They are all sensible girls; they prefer a
single life and pecuniary independence to
the miseries of marriage."
41 By yonr advice, I believe," said the
doctor.
44 They consider me a tns of experience,
and I'm entitled to respect." .
4 ' But are you not rather hard, sirt*'
said the doctor. " A beautiful girl like
that-"
44 Hard P' cried Uncle Gillet. 44 What's
love worth? It fades in a week, and is
stone dead in a year. What do men give
their wives but deceit and neglect? Either
the wife deceives the hn band, or the hus
band the wife. Better never to love than
to see tore die. They used to siug a song
when I was a boy: 4 Love not.'
"•' Lore not ; the thing Ton lore may Hi ;
Love not; the thing yon love may ehansre,'
It's a sensible song, sir. That's a dear
little girl. I hope she'll never fling her
self into any one's arms, to be dropped
when the sweetness has been khsed oat.
That's a wife's destiny. If sbe ever does,
no money of mine goes into the brute's
pockets."
** Is all tbe fault on the man's side?"
asked tbe dector..
tvlt # ft Inferable muflfife altogether,
this marriage," said Cnole GHlet; "don't
talk about it any more."
Dr. Rush did not, at that time; but
about dusk next evening, Dolly, crossing
the bridge juet out of Atwater, paused to
look down into the water, and then and
there some one came behind her and said:
"Miss Gillet."
She turned, with a start. It was Dr.
Rush.
"h is growing so lte that I mean to
see you home," he said. 91 have just left
the good uncle; he is better. He will be
well in a day or two. He has a strong
constitution, and is A man to five to be a
hundred years old."
"flfin very glad," sold Dolly.
"1 thiuk you are seventeen, said the
doctor.
" Well," cried Dolly, " ladies don't telb
their ages; but I am that, and a year
more."
" Your uncle is fifty," said the doctor.
" Tott'U probably be sixty-seven when he
leaves you."
" My goodness 1" cried Dolly; how ter
ribly old!"
"Ton don't really mean to lire single
Ml that time f" asked Dr. Rush.
" Of couree I do," said Dolly.
"I don't mean to lot you," said tbe

"O Mercy no,*' said Holly. "You are
very nice, and I'm sure I—but I don't, I
can't ever. O Goodness! don't talk so.'
" You can't ever like met" asked the
doctor,
" No, I don't mean that," said Holly.
"I can't ever m trr#."
" But you'll take a walk over the bridge
to- morrow f" said the doctor.
' Well, perhaps so," said IVlIy.
And m> she did. She took a great many;
and at last, one day Hr. Hush was allowed
to slip a ring npott her flngvr, and to kiss
her ou her lip*.
" 1 shan't have a penny," said Holly,
"You are sure you don't mind!"
"AH the pennies we want 1 can earn
myself," said the doctor.
"And I'ncle will be so angrv!" said
Holly.
" Hut 1 am so glad '" said Hr. Hush.
"Aud you must ted the truth at once, aud
marry me in a mouth. I'romise, Holly."
Holly promised.
lieorgina and Milly sat at work together
that evening, while I'ncle tiillet read to
them. Holly was not sewing. She held
the work, it is true, but her hand never
moved toward the needle. She did not
hear a word that was uttered ; but when
at last there came a pause, she dropped
the muslin and started to her feet.
"If you please, I'ncle,', she said
" there's something 1 must tell. I can't
keep it secret any longer. It isuw a had
thing—it's a good thing; only 1 knew
vou'd lie angrv. I'm going to marry Hr.
Rush."
lieorgina and MUlicent screamed in
chorus.
'• We don't care for losing the money,"
-aid Dolly. 44 Money is uothiug compared
with love; but we w ant to be friends here
at home. As for things left in w ills, it's a
miserable sort of hope. I'm glad 1 sha'n't
have any. If you'll only not be angry,
and come to see us. and let us come to see
you, that's all we hope. He's perfectly
splendid, dear Richard Rush is- I love
him awfully, and he loves me awfully,
and we're to tie married this day montii,
tie matter what anybody says."
" You are. eh f said Uncle Gillet.
"Yes. sir," said Dolly;
44 And he knows my opinions V
"Of course,''said Dolly. " lie knows
that except the two or three hundred
dollars I hare for clothes, I'll never have
a penny."
44 Then make fools of yourselves if you
like." said Uncle Gillet.
44 You'll come to the wedding, won't
you f" asked Dolly.
44 No ; but I'll let your sisters go," said
Uncle Gillet. 44 J never go to weddings
or executions."
So the wedding came off.
Doily, in white muslin, married her
Richard Rush. Georgina and Millieent
wept, as custom required, and spoke of
their sister as 44 poor Dolly/* They wen
very kind, as to a belov ed, but misguided
lunatic, and gave her useful presents, and
promised to "do all they could for her."
Dollv did not feel that she needed any
thing. They seemed poor to her, those
heiresses who had no one to love them.
She wot to her husband's houie, and
never a cloud came between them, and
never a change fell upon their love.
Uncle Gillet never made them a pre
sent, but he came to dine sometimes, and
always kissed the lat baby. As f.-r the
Mi**s Gillet, they had no mean* at com
mand though they had such fine prospects.
Oliver Robb had been dismissed long be
fore by Georgina. She had told him plain
ly that she could not sacrifice mammon
to love. And Millieent had had another
meeting with Ilnfus King in the orchard.
•' It's the last time. Milly," Rufu* had
said. " I can't go on offering myself for
ever; hot I love you better than my
and always shall."
44 1 like yon, Rufus." said Milly, " and it
seems hard; but uncle will not relent. 1
can't lead a poor woman's life even for
you."
"Then good-bye. Hilly," said Rufus.
"There's no love where money can be set
against it."
So they parted. And now Georgina
was forty, and Milly thirty-eight, and
Dolly thirty-five.
Business was worse with the doctor. A
richer practitioner had taken much of his
practice.
Dr. Rush trudged over the low country
in all weathers and at all hours; and so
one night some ruffian who did not know
how empty his wallet was, attacked him
in a lonely place, and left hiin for dead.
A farmer going homeward early carried
him home in his wagon, and he was cared
for as well as might be, but a broken leg
and a dislocated shoulder are no light
matters, and Doily hardly knew what to
do or where to turn. She was on'y sure
of one thing, her love for her Richard,
which grew greater with every trial
For the sake of this stie put her pride
down. And leaving the servant with her
husband one day, trudged over to her un
cle's house. As she drew near, she reflec
ted on the fact that she was actually in
need of charity. It was a bitter thought.
She paused within sight of the house,
hardly daring to go on ; and as she did
so, the door opened and a servant catne
out, who stopped for a moment and re
entered. and as she closed the door a
black streamer flaunted in the air. There
was crape on the door. Some one was
dead.
Faint with terror, Dolly hurried on. In
the hall, her sisters, who had seen her
coming, hastened to meet her. Uncle Gil
let was dead. He had expired suddenly
at the dinner-table, and the ladies were
overcome with grief and excitement. But
they put their arms about Dolly and
promised her to do all they could.
"Jast now it isn't much," said Geor
gina. 44 But we shall be rich women, and
will help you constantly."
44 1 knew poor I>r. Rush couldn't get
on," said Milly. 44 Poor dear man ! He
shall nee we can he friends; and if yon
like, we'll take two of the children."
" Never that," said poor Dolly. "Thank
you; but they are oar jewels."
Georgina sighed.
"Uncle meant kindly," the said. "But
it is hard. We're lonely sometimes, Dolly.
Milly only meant that."
Then Dolly's heart melted.
"They shall cotne to see you often,"
she said
And she went into the still room and
wept over the qniet figure lying there;
and went home again with her dole of
wine and jelly, and a few dollars.
" Well be able to do so much more,"
said Milly, "when the will has been read."
" You've paid dearly for yielding to
me, Dolly," said the suffering man, as sbe
ministered to him. "Don't you wish you
were still Miss Gillet and an heiress."
But Dolly said "No" from ner neart.
Neither did she feel anything but tender
sorrow for the prejudiced old man, whom
she had been very fond of, "1 chose,"
she said to herself, "and I chose well."
She went to the funeral, Georginasend
ing her the black dress. And as sbe sat
in the parlor afterward, awaiting the read
ing of the will, her thoughts wandered
back into the past; and the monotonons
rendering of the saids and atorcsaids made
no impression upon her until her own
name caught her ear. Then she looked
up. Millicent and Georgina were both
staring bard at her.
"What is it?" she asked. " I did not

mals ore generally of the rough Scotch or
common black-and-tan breeds. They are
very aggressive, barking furiously at
everybody and everything aleng the
route, nud thus 4 drawing the fire' of the
town dogs, troops of which will some
times follow a linker's out for a long dis
tance, iu full vein, us if demandiug bread,
though their only object i* to resent the
insulting uud ribald language of tlie
pampered animal who barks lutro-clf
hoarse at them from the cart. Those
treriers are very vigilant while the liaker
is absent for a short while from his curt,
engaged in delivering bread. I f anybody
stojw to look at them they display the
wildest fury, gna-diiug their teeth uud
harking with a frcuzy peculiar to dog*
having a mission to fulfil. The baker's
dog is an object of general scurrility.
Every street-Ivy makes faces and yell#
at hint as he hurries past in the bread
cart. Every carter cracks his whip at
him : and if canine statistics were fully
made out, they would doubthss show
thai the baker's dog is a short-lived ani

cases out of teu, by apoplexy arising from

A Horrible Fate.
A cortespoudent writing from Kana.
tells the following terrible story o! the
white man'* cruelty and the Indian's hor
rible revenge; "A few mile* west o.
Omaha, a miry, sbiggUb stream runs into
the Platte, and this steam Is called the
- Raw Mule.' It is said that soon after
the discovery of gold in California, aynnng
tnan belonging to a party who started
from ' the States' and crossed the plaia* in
search of gold, made a foolish boast before
starting I ruin home to the effect that be
would shoot the first Indian he saw. The
psrty crossed the Missouri river and **>n
found themselves in the great vallev of the
Platte. Pacing up this ral'ey. they en
camped one evening on the banks of the
strcatn'spjken of, which at that time *i.

to uiovv out the next morning, a MUX!!
party ol young Indians who had conn
sore# the river from Pawnee village on
the oppHtte side, appioached the coram o
ment. These were the fir*t Indiana the
party had seen, and the young man who
had *ai<! that he mtemled to shoot tin
first Indian he saw, was reminded of bis
boast, and he inimediately picked up bis

her dead. The news was carried to the

surrounded by exasperated Indians, atid
the young roan who iiad done the shooting
was seized, sfi ipped, tied toa wagon wan 1,
and skinned alive, the |oor fellow l-eg(.ing

How Flour la Made.
When a cargo of wheat arrive* at the
flouring mill it is flrot raised by the ele
vator to the top of the building aud stor
e 1 iu the large biua, which have a capac
ity of 100,01)0 bushels.
Prom the bins the wheat ia drown aa
wanted to the cleaning room, where it ia
delivered up hi the tender mercies of a
collection of the latest aud moat pcrf<-et
"smut machines," ••cleaners," "blow
ers," aud otner devices, which entirely
separate the wheel from every foreign
aulwtance, and reject imperfect groins,
bcsiJcs thoroughly cloaring the sound
kernels from whatever would injure the
flour.
A feature of this cleaning room is the
apparatus which is called the " sucker,"
and which keeps the atniospbere free
fruin the duat which is given out from
the cleaners, aud which is so deleterious
to the workmen. This sucker is simply
a large modem flue opening near the
floor and passing through the roof. A
strong curreut of air is foroed through
this, aud the result is a most perfect retc
tilatiou of the air in the room.
Aft'r Iteiug cleaned the wheat goes to
the milUtouea, ami from them theeoarwe
flour i* carried to the bolts, where the
different grade* of bran, " shorts," Ac.
are separated from it, aud the heated
flour is carried to the top of the build
ing. win-re it is eooh-d by Wing carried
through a series of shallow troughs ly
means of Arrhimidean acraw*. Some
i lea of the ixteutof tlie machinery re
quired iu a large mill may lie gathered
from the fact that thirty tulles of cloth
are requited to cover the reels in Un
bolting machines.
After Wiug cooled the flour is ready
for packing, which us also done by ma
chinery. The flour fulls down a tulie,
which is futlU4-l-haprd at its lower end
and of a sire to exactlv fit into a barrel.
The barrel Is wheeled under the spout,
the tula- kiwi-red to the 1 Kit torn (or the
barrel raised), nnd a piston, worked bv
nitaiu, packs the flour in the barrel,
which is gradually lowered until it isfill
ed, when it makes way for the next.
t niflWli Agricultural 1 -a borer*.
Some very extraordinary diarkmrN
have Ixwn made in England during the
recent agricultural iUrihe-in the County
of Warwick. It seems that tJie field la-
Uirrra receive there, on an average, only
slvut one-fourth of the pav of the me
chanic* at id operative* in the adjoining
town*, and that any proposal on the
jwtt of the tenant farmer to improve
their condition I Hl* invariably I icon fol
lowed bv an increase of hi* owu reut by
the landlord. Aa a farm of 300 acres re
quired the nwdstance of nil laborer*, he
vras thu* charged six hundred shilling*
(about S200) if he propoaed raising their
rag< a by two shilling* a week earh. and
as the rent which he previously imid was
usually a Itack one, it was of course
wholly iinjaawiblo for him to comply.
The investigation also shows that the
condition of the English tenant-farmer
and laltotvr ia far worse than that of the
same classes in Ireland, for while in the
latter they cannot bo ejected from their
lease* and holdings without receiving
comjiensation for whatever improve
ments thev utny have mode, in tbo other
tin v cnn IH> tunics! out at fix mouth's
notice without any allowance whatever.
It is therefore, against the rapacity of
the landlords that the |tcaants are in
reality at present Auditing, though their
immediate employers, the farmers, are
thce with whom tney aoemingty contend:
atld the landlords are well aware that if
they prevail then* must lie an immediate
reduction of rcut.
A Godlws Horse. A little boy
three yours old, whoso father was irre
ligious, Mieut many month* in a dwelling
of a good family, where he was taught
the simple elements of Divine truth.
The G<Md sool fell into good and ten
der soil, and the child learned to see a
difference between a pray cries* and a
Christian dwelling. One day, ns some
one was conversing with the little fellow
about the great and good God, the boy
i aid : "We haven't got any God at my
papa's house." "Alas how many stirh
houses there are iu our world and even
bonnes where there is no prayer ot
Eirnisc, no worship, no God ! And what
iiunes are tlicy for children, aye, and
for men and women, too ! How much
better is the pure atmosphere of Chris
tian love, then the cold selfish world
liness of a Godness home ?"
How IT is OUTAINKH. —SaIt-rock when
under ground, IUI in the United States,
Europe, nnd China, must be obtained by
mining. This is well enough under
stood. But why the table-salt of Eng
land—white. dry, granular, pungent, and
pure—should be mi grently superior to
ours, is still a problem to chemists.
Their manner of obtaining it is simple
enough. A shaft is sunk down to the
snit-rock; it is then pumped out,
evaporated in heated pans, and the re
sult is a table-salt almost wholly free
from impurity. This salt forms one of
the great exports of England. It goes
to France to improve by mixture the
saline qualities of tlie snlt manufactucd
there ; to Germany for the manufacture
of soda ; and to the United States for
sale to those who prefer for the table a
pure to an ndulterated condiment.
SNOW AYALANCHEH. —Snow avalanches
occurred at Little Cotton wood, wliieh are
described as the most fearful that have
ever lieen known iu that region. A slide nt
the Wellington mine come fiouin height
of 2,0.(0 feet, onrrying away everything
in its course, and burying the entire day
force of the Wellington workmen. After
much labor the men were dug out alive
with the exception of their foreman, 11.
H. Murray, whose body was recovered.
Seven men were caught in another
slide, but were nil rescued. Two men at
the Davenport mine were buried in their
cabin, but escaped with some bruises.
Other elides are anticipated, us the snow
is at a depth of six feet on 5 e level.

THE GOHDOH CASK. —It is said he a
; New York paper that George Gordon,
whose case is attracting so much atten
-1 tion, first won the confidence of Mr. Uel
<len, of Fink A Belden, by displaying
of diamoud* and old silver that
> hud been bought iu Chatham street.
Horace Greeley was next caught through
[jootnia's friend Soars. Greeley iutro
| .lured Tom Scott, and S.*ott introduced
i Jay Goo Id. Gordon broached a grant
I scheme of consolidating the Erie and
New York Central to the railroad king*,
and thev were to have a bridge arrows
the Iltidsou and a great depot in West
chester connty. Yanderbilt did not take
a band in, but operated through his sou
in-lrw, Horace F. Clark. They all got
the idea that Gordon controlled the city
press, especially the //ero/e. because
James Gordon itennett "used to tie one
of our tenants and took our family
name." The shares of Erie were given
to buy land iu Westchester for the big
consolidation depot. Whcu Gould found
he was sold and that Gordon would not
return tlio stock he had him arrested,
and L. Huberts' signed his.bail fur $37,-
000 and Horace F. Clark went security.
The cud is not yet. Meanwhile M.
G >rdon is living in seclusion.
WHY IS rr.—A short time nge. while
conversing with a prominent general of
the United States cavalry, he asked how
it was that women could wear for a life
time nil their clothing sus]iended from
the waist, while the soldiers could not
endure the weight of n sabre, even for
a few days, when it was attached simply
to a belt, although the sabre is leas in
weight than the bulk of women's skirts.
And ho gave it an his experience that n
sabre carried in that way nt first seemed
only a trilling matter, but in a few days
it caused an unendurable fatigue, seem
ed to take the very life out of them, and
produced permanent disease at a most
rapid rate. He also stated that it wus
because serious injuries followed so rap
idly that straps wen* ordered to be at
tne'lied to the lielt so that the weight
could be home by the shoulders.
DRAINING A Bt.nic CLAY. —There are
two good ways of doing this. If the sub
soil is uniformly blue clny. and the area
to be drained large, the most economical
way of draining it is by the use of a niole
diteher, such us have been extensively
used in Ohio and Illinois. If yon have
abundance of stone, a well-laid stone
drain, in a blae clny soil, will last a life
time nearly, if it is laid three or four feet
deep as it should be. The costliest and best
drain is a tile drain.
UNDEIIPJIAINS.— UnIess we can do the
work in the winter, spring is the best
time to dig underdrains. The land is
full of water, and it is easier digging
than in summer or autumn. If the water
flows freely through the tiles when laid,
and proper esre is exercised when
filling in the ditches, and packing the
soil round the tiles tight enough to hold
tliem in place, there is little or no dan
ger of their stopping afterward.
The Last of a Desperado.
The last acta of the famous drrperado
liildebruiul, are told by a Western pa
per. Hihlehrand haa for year* been
the terror of a auction of Missouri, and
lua victim* are numbered by scorea. He
went one day into a little tonu called
Hinkueyville, in kliaootiri. to get oome
hair dye U color hut whiskers. Thia hit
of vauitv leal to Hildebrand's ruin. He
boldly declared in the town tliot he had
no four of arrest, aiuce the lima was up
for which a reward had been offered
for hia apprehenaion. On the other
hand, be admitted there were certain
parties who. if they knew hia where#-
boata, would probably hunt him up and
try to kill him. ■ Thia consideration dul
not, however, affect hit apt Kit, and, ha*,
iog dyed hia whiokera aud primed hiin
aeif with whiaky, llihlebrand Itegan to
coat alioiit to oec who he could conveni
ently ahoot, cut, or otherwise deatroy.
Pursuant to thia amiable design, he
went one quirt afternoon iuto the drink
ing-aaloon of Joseph Biahop. One of
the crowd proaeut invited att banda to
drink. When the refreahment waa
i#rvd a gentleman named Hullivsn,
without any particular provocation. twit
byway of cnUveoir* the scone, politely
informed Bishop that h'- *• _• liar.
Bishop retorted that if he u as • liar Sul
livan wax one too. Hddebrand, with
out having anything to do with the qnar
ret, promptly mud without a word of
comment, l-g*n slashing at Bishop with
a long knife.
A horrible battle ensued, aud the alarm
being given, a poaae of constable* u
quickly on the scene. Three of tire
strongest undertook to am-ht the bush
whacker, and soon found they ld their
hands full. He knocked men down
right and left, ahot more than one, and
cut half a doxeu. 11 u knife waa wrested
from him, but he whipped out another
Tliw, too, waa turn from him after a
bloody struggle. The uudauuted dee
|jerado instantly drew a third. But Ue
last act of the drama was close at baud,
and Bam. Hildebraiid'a career of guilt
aud violence was destined to "be cut
short, lie had jnat struck a frightful
Mow at an officer named lUglaud, into
hia thigh and making a gash from the
knee to the hip. On this Hag!and drew
a revolver and shot hia assailant through
the head. The ball struck just behind
the right ear, and ranged thence into
the base of the brain. Hildebraud
lived some minutes after, but never
spoke again. Neither did he give utter
ance to the slightest sound, not even a
nturmer of pain. He merely glared de
fiance at hia captors, strugled vainly to
get hold of another knife, and ao died.
The First Lover.
Jacob, tii last of tlie Hebrew patri
arch*, ia one of the first lovers, in point
of time, to whom we art- introduced.
Judged bv a modern standard, hi*conduct
in the ordinary affairs of life was far from
blameless. It was not quite fraternal in
htm to buy his older brother's birthright
for a mess of pottage, when poor Esau
was starving; nor was It altogether filial
to obtain by fraud from his aged and
blind father the blessing of the first-born.
Hi* loyalty and devotion to Rachel, bow
ever, compensate for many defect*. and
we cannot withhold onr sentimental ad
miration from the lover who eerved four
teen years to obtain the w ifs of his choice
and a comfortable independence. After
serving seven years tor his true mid re**,
and then having her sister Leah put off
upon him by a trick, it is as creditable a
it is singular that he should hare hail the
amiability and patience to repeat his ser
vice for the possesion of Rachel, In
these days Jacob would bare acted very
differently, I fear. He would have re
garded bis first seven years as entirely
!o<t; would have quam-bd with Leah,
even procuring a divwcc if necessary, and,
angry with the whole I-aban family,would
have left Rarhel, so far as l>e was con
cerned, to pine iu single blessedness.
Masrnlme constancy tnu*t have sadly de
teriorated since that good old time; men
now will hardly tarry seven weeks for
any one wife when so many other wives
rosy be had. Take pattern by Jacob, ye
nnd able lover*, learn to labor and to
wait!— Gijlajry. *

GOOD HEALTH sa AX Eunterr or Bcc
("Etta.—-it ia no exaggeration to ear that
health is a large ingredient in what the
world calls talent. A man without it
may he s giant in intellect, but his deeds
will be deods of a dwarf. On tbe eon
trarv, let him have a qniek circulation,
a good digestion, the bulk, thewa aad
sinew* of a msa, and tbe alnrrity, the un
thinking confidence inspired bv these.
And though having hut a thimbleful of
brains, he will cither blonder upon KUC

especially in this country, that the num
ber of ceutauw in every community—of
men in whom heroic intellects are allied
with bodily constitution as tough as
j horses—is small: that in general a man
lias reason to think himself well off in
the lottery of life if hs draw* the prima
of a braltiiy stomach without a mind,
or the prime of a fine intell ct with a
cruxy constitution. A pound of energy
with an ounce of talent, will achieve
greater results than a pound of talent
with sn ounce o' energy. The irst ro
■ jnirite to sueeeaa in life is to be a good
animal. In any of the learned profes
sion!! s rigorous constitution is equal to
t lenst fifty percent more hraina. With
judgment iniagiastton, eloquence, all
the qualities of the mind attain thereby
n force and splendor to which they could
never approach without it But intellect

Tms DSAP S*A.— bring without sn
outlet, evaporation is the only escape of
the aster pouring into it by the river
Jordan ana some other strains. Each
brings into that extraordinary reservoir,-
which is a depression in the earth's crust
thirteen hundred feet below the water
level of the Mediterranean, an immense
mass of materials whioh most at last fill
it up, when the Jordan will then run on
beyond and find an outlet to the sea, if
the world remains in its present physical
form long enough. Tim Jordan wafts
down ninety cuhie yards of water every
second. Each day it carries in six and
n half bushels of salt, liberated from
rocka, on its passage, in each ninety
cubic yards. Therefore that dreadfnllv
salt, bitter reservoir has nearly reached
the point of saturation. When no more
salt can be dissolved, then it will accu
mulate on the irregular bottom till it
reaches quite near the present surface.
Its future will have quite as much in
