A LESSON ;a1:3014 DILIGENCE.
There liras once a Germim Doke ,who , dis
guised himself and ` durini the night, paced a
great stone in the middle of the road, Lear his

that'was to be held. in-, the village near the
fluke's palace. When they-cnme to the stone
the road was so narrow: that' they bad to gO off
in single file on either side.' One of them,
named 13ertholf,' cried out, "Did -anybody ever
fee the like of that
° big stone lying here all the
inorning,and no one stopping to take it away?"
It lay there for three weeksT arid nobody
tried to , remove it.:` Then 'the duke sent around
word to all the people on his 'lands, to meet alt
a deep cut in the_ road, tailed 'bornthou, near
where this stone , lay, as he bad something to
tell thetn.
'The day came, and a great crowd gathered
at the Dornthou: Each side of the _cut was

papq' fastened to the bag were these words:
"For him who lilts 'up the stone," He untied

blaming his neighbor& They all lost the prize
because' they had not learned the lesSons or
formed the habit or helpfulness. And we shall
lose many a prize,- as we , go on in' life, it we
don't form this habit. That bag of money was
the Duke's promise of reward tor, helpfulness.
But that promise was bidden away under the
stones° that no one could see it. God's prom
ices are not hidden in this way.' They are writ
ten plainly out in the Bible, so thatwe may all
see them and understaiithern.
Pr. Franklin used to say, "What though you
have found no treasum and• had no legacy left
you, never mind.' Remember that diligence is
the mother of good luck. Then,
Plough deep while sluggards bleep,
And you will have corn to and keep.

3100 N MADNESS.
The popular belierthat the moon's rays will
cause madness in any person who sleep's ex
posed to them - has long been telt to be absurd,
and yet it has. appeared to have its,source in
undioubted facts. some 'deleterious in
fluence is experienced by those who rashly
court slumber in full moonshine and probably
there is no superstition to which the well•th do
pay more attention. Windows are often care
fully covered to keep the, nioonheams from en
tering rooms, A gentleman living in 'lndia fur
nishes,"Nature'.! with an explanation of this phe
nomenon, Which is at least plausible. He says:
"ft has often been observed that when the moon
is near its fulltime, there , are rarely any clouds
about,: and if there be clouds before the full
moon rises, thy are , soon dissipated ; and there
fore a perfectly clear sky, with a bright hill
moon. is 'frequently observed. A heat from
the surface of the earth, and any person expos
ed.to such radiation is sure to bet chilled by
rapid loss of heat. There is reason to believe
that, under the circuinstances, paralisis of one
side of the : lace is sometimes likely to occur
from chill, as one , side - of the face is more like
ly to be expomi" to rapid radiation, and con
setinent loss of its heat. This - cilia 13 more
likely to occur when the sky is perfectly clear.
I have often slept in the open,air in India on a
clear sammer night, when was , no moon:
and althoUgh the first part of the night,may
have been hot, yet toward two or three o'clock
in the morning. the chill has been so great that
I have often been aWakend by an ache in my
"torehead;which I as often haVe counteracted by
wrapping a, handkerchief around mir.head ; and
drawing the blanket over my face. 'As the
chill is likely to be, greatest on a very clear .
right, mad' the clearest nights Are iikely to be
thOse on which there is'a bright moonsnine, it
is very possible that neuralgia paralysis, or
other similar injury, caused by sleeping in the
open air has been attributed to the moon, when
the proximate cause. may really haver -een the
da. and the moon, only a remote cause acting
by dissipating the clouds and' haze (if it do so),
"and leaving a perfectly clear sky for the play
of radiation into space—Oak:2w.

The believer must be like Aron's rod that
budded. What was this rod ? only a poor
stick While'the other withered rods were laid
before the ark they Continued withered still,
.but his stood up, and budded: and blossomed.
flo, it we would know whether the - Lord's revi
ving work 'proceeds in us, we must observe
'whether we arise, and bud and blossom ti; his
'glory.
Most: of our misfortunes are more support
ible then the comments of our friends Upon
them.
