One tiight when the earth ws so eilent tbat the footfalls of the guardian angels who ppsed to and fro coold almost bo heard, and when the great canopy of beaten Dfnjd with bright stars, an old taaa, who bad Bade bis bed on the grass under Iud tree on the commons, awoke kriittA ebiter. j The chill night air Jaad ernpt tbroagh his faded and worn gar meats end pinched his flesh. He sat op and looted about bitn with that longing expression in his eyes which comes only when men feel that the earth is fast pass ing wj from them; forever. He had no friends. Even the wandering dog which passed near him growled angrily as it caught the flatter of the old man's rags in the gentle breeze." - When a tree becomes old and withered, and ready to die, men despise it. They forget the beaoty it held 1 for years and they give it no praise for the grateful shade it offered to thousands. They would have its sbada and strength and beauty endure forever, forgetting that everything must grow older diyby day and at last die. , M. Men had forgotten all the ever spoken by this old man smoothed 'the rough paths of he had turned the wicked paths if bis kind words epairiig hearts with new A MAN WITHOUT .

Wobody took the slightest notice of him, however. At last be took courage and cpoke : . ' "Is the Judge iu ?" Tbe cierk immedi-ttely awoke Hib Hjn- or. good word? If he bad the poor if into better had filled de hopes he had no credit for it in the hearts of men They bad sneered and ec fed at bis slow step and bis many tatters; and they bad laughed in derision as vbe ell upon the bard earth. No sailor, cast npon tbe lone isle in tbe great ocean,, seeing ships sail ing to aod fro, but none ever turning to ward him, could bave felt: ench, if elation as this old man felt. With his long? gray locks with bis , rags and tatter with bis wounded and aching heart with bis knowledge that bis hours were numbered, he turned hia pale face to the bright stars and mused : ; , "When the leaves flutter down I shall die, and like them I shall be forgotten by 3 all men. Tbey will bury 'me, but they will not mark my grave. They may write my name in a book, but no one will evrr turn to it Let me die to night let, me ' be no more when the golden leaves flat, ter down to tbe chilly earth I" - -Shivering in the keen air of midnight, .be held his face in . bis 1 bands and pon dered, and' prayed.

By and by tbe air no longer chilled bim. " Hd grew warmer, and ibis old heart' grew larger, and as sleep came back to his eyelids he whispered : . ( " . ; "If I ever. wronged one human being in God's great world, may the angels forgive mel" - : i Th6 frost was creeping onward, j' from the north creeping over hill top and .or chard and meadow so softly that the blades of grass hardly quivered. It crept to the tree and lingered for a, moment in its branches. The gren leaves' shivered; then tbe green faded away, little by little, and lot each leaf was robed in gold ! Tbey quivered in tbeir joy and'gladaess as the bre-29 whispered : T "Tbe old man below you ia dead ! He was waitiDg for these golden robes to come to 50U. 1 1 will waft jou down, and ryou shall cover bis gray bead with such a crown as no king! ever wore." And while the ; leaves were floating down to glorify what men had despiatd, an angt-1 in Heaven turned ,lhe golden pages of a book and wrote : "Earth has sent anotler eoal to dwell with and find eternal joy and1 po ce I" . , A Body that was Beally Petrifisd.

Virginia (Jity Chronicle Necrology for 1877. makes a most -terrible showing 'therein one awfal enough to' make us forswear eating altogether. Nothing is 'what it seems to be; everything is" adulterated; Coffee, when s ld in packages, is " often nothing but a oompouud of roasted beant peas, chicory, burnt corn," dandelion' and other roastfd grains of various kinds while ground & ff-e is frequently sawdust. colored with "Vt-cetian red Few; bowev; er, dare to go t -us far and are generally content with adulterating the c ffee'with chic)ry. But as Pereira remarks ; "While the grocers on the one band, cheat tbeir customer bv ' adulterating coffee with chicory, tbe dealers in that article in turn cheat tbe'- grocers by ' adulterating the catcory." ; ' ' ' . ; Tea is more diffiault i to adulterate.
