A BEAUTIFUL STORY.
Culeri.l-e relates a story to tliisj ell'ect.
Alexander, during lis mareh into A ft int.
eaine to a people dvfellin in peaeel'iil huts
who knew neither war nor comment.
(lold hiin oirered him, ho refused it,
saying that his sole ohjeet was to learn the
manners and customs ol'tlie inhabitant.
'Stay with us," said the thief, as long
as it pleases thee.
)uring this interview with the African
chief, two of his subjects brought a case
before him for judgment. The dispute
was this.'
The one had bought n piece of ground
which, after the purchase, was found to
c ititain treasure, fur which bo felt him
self bound to pay. The other refused to
receive anything, stating that be sold the
ground with what it uiijht bo found to
mtain apparent or concealed. "
Said the chief, looking at tho one, '-You
have a son;" and to the other, "You have
a daughter: let them be married, and the
treasure aiv.-n th 'in a a dowry."
Alex in I t was astonished.
"And whit," said the chief, oW(iuhl
l ive b.vu ilia decision ill your country?"
MYe shaild have dismissed the parties
and 8 'i. 'd the 'reasuie for the king's us.'."
"An docs tho sun shine in your
coiutry; docs the. rain lull there; are there,
cattle whi.-h feed upon the herbs and greeu
grass?" asked the chi.:f.
"Certainly," said Alexander.
"Ah," sai l the chief, "it is lor the sake
ol'tlus' iu;io..-ut cattle tint thelireit tir
ing p rmils t li j sun to shin ', the rain 1 1
fall and the grass tj grjw in our country."'

And us ibis is exactly tho season to
coaiinenee such it system of pellar educa

it is nilhiu easy reach of every on ' to try,

A PACK OF CARDS.
A piivate soldier, by the name of
Hic hard I.;o, was taken before the magis
trate of (llaseow, Scotland, for playing
cards iluring divine service. At the
church, thuse who had Illbhst.iok them out:
but this soldier had neither liiblo nor
eoiiimi.ii prayer I k, and, pulling out a
pack of raids, bespread them before him.
lie first looked at one card and then at
another. The sef.'eant of the company
sivv him, ami said:
' Kiehard, put up the cards; this is no
place for them."
"Never mind that," said UieharJ.
When the services wore over, llio con
stable took Hichard a prisoner, and
brought him before the Mayor.
"Well," said the Mayor, "what have
you brought the soldier here for?"
"l'or . laying carifs in the church. "
"Well soldier what have you to say for
yourself."
"Much, Sir, I hope."
"Very go. .d: if not, I will pun'sh you
severely."
"1 have been," said the soldier, "about
six weeks on ihc march. 1 have neither
liible or common prayer book. 1 have
nothing but a pack of cards, and I hope to
satisfy Your Worship of the purity of uiy
intention."
Then, spreading the cards before the
Mayor, he began with the nee;
"When I see the ace it reminds me
mat mere is nut one iiod. H hen I sc
the douce, it reminds me of the Father
and Son. When I see the tray, it re
minds me of the Father, Son and Holy
tlhost. When I sec the four, it reminds
1110 of the four evangelists that preached
Matthew, Mark, I.uke and John. When I
seethe li'e it reminds me of tho live
wise virgins that trimmed their lamps.
There were ten; but live were wise, and
five were foolish and were shut out.
When I see the six, it reminds me that
in six days the l.urd made heaven and
earth. When I sec the seven it reminds
me that on the seventh day Hod rested
from the great w. rk He had made, and
hallowed it. When I see the eight it re
minds ine of the eight righteous persons
tint were save 1 when (iod destroyed (he
world; viz: Noah and bis wife, bis limb
sons and (heir wives. When I sec the
nine it reminds me of the nine lepers that
were cleansed bv our Saviour. There we
nine out often that never returned thanks.
When I see the ten it reminds lue of the
ten Commandments which (l..d hatided
down to Moses on the tables of stone.
When I see the kim; it reminds uie of the
great King of heaven, which is (Iod Al
mighty. When I seethe .piecii it reminds
ine ol the (Jueen of Sheba, who visited
Solomon, for she was as wise a woman as
he was a man. She brought with her
fifty boys and fifty gills, all dressed in
boys' apparel, for King Solomon to tell
which were boys and which were girls.
The King sent for water for them (owa.-h.
The girls washed to tic elbows, tho ln.vs
to the wrist; so King Solomon tdl.1 bv
that."
"Well," said the Mayor, "you have
described every card in the pack except
one."
"What is that?"
"The knave," said the Mayor.
"I will give Your Honor a description
of that, too, if you will not be angry."
"I will not," said the Major, "if you do
not term me to be the knave."
"The greatest knave that 1 know of, is
the constable that brought me here."
"1 do n. t know," said the Mayor, "if
he is the greatest knave, but 1 know he is
the grcatist fool."
"Winn I count how many spots there
are in a pack of cards, I find :i.'.."i. as many
days as ther.' are in n year. When I
count the iiuiiiIk r of cards in a pack, 1
find fifty two the number of weeks in a
year. 1 find there are twelve picture cards
in a pack, representing th..' number ('
months in a year; and, on counting the
tricks 1 find thirteen, the niiiub-.r of weeks
ill a .ii iii, r. So you see, a pack of cards
stv.s fer a liible, an almanac, and eom
m ui prayer book."

THE SNOW PLANT.
One of the most interesting products
of the Sierra Nevada Mountains is the
beautiful snow plant. The scientific name
for the (lower is "Sarcoles sanguine,"
meaning, "blooded lle.-h." June is its
mouth for blooming, and il can now be
found growing in secluded spots in the
mountains, where the snuw falls deepest
in the winter, and where the fall grass
grows thickly and casts an unbroken
shade. The plant itsell is from four tu ten
inches in height, and is of a bright sear
L't color, including leaves and flowers, al
though the stem is pink and white. The
flowers are attached close to the stem, and
the leaves curl upward and partially bide
the (loweis from view, the whole being
in the furiu of a cone. The leaves have
a delicate, frosl-liko edge which uiakts
them extremely beautiful, livery visiter
to this vicinity always manages to secure
one of tiles... curiosities to show friends 1k-
low. How these plants "i'uw is not known
to botanists, as they are neither seed n. r
bulb. They arc supposed to be parasil'e
mid cannot be propagated. Localities
where lln-y are abundant one season may
not secure a single specimen the next. A
beautiful Indian legend is connected with
the origin of this Dower, which is to the
cll'ect that once upou a time a lovely Indi
an maiden died of a broken heart on ac
count of the faithlessness of her lover;
that her spirit sought refuge in the dark
est nooks ol the forest, where sounds of
her subbing and wailing are frequently
h 'ard among the trees; that tlie teats she
shed are drops of blood, and whenever one
ol' these tmi 'lics the earfh there springs up
a crims u plant.
UMIJ Alt ASSI'.O lilMDIiliHOOM
If ever I get married in a church again
you may call mj a goat, said a hishful man
the other day.
What's tlie matter now?
Matter enough, lie retorted, and he
seemed mad as he thought of it. I was
married not loug ago and as my wife's
parents were pillars of the chinch, il had
to come oil' Micro so tiny thought. Wet',
some repairs were being made m the
church so the marriage took place in the
Sunday school room. There's where the
trouble came in. We stood up uear the
platform where the superintendent's desk
stood, and before the minister got started I
ii .tieed a great many people smiling in the
audience. I didn't know what to make of
it. They all seem to be looking over my
h 'ad. 1 never said anything till the thing
was done, then I tinned around and look
el up. What do you think 1 saw? Otic

in v time had nearly come, and
that I could not live longer
than when the trees iut on

happened to get one of the Sei

my dear mother bought ine a

Now I must
tell you that ihe doctors in our
district distributed handbills
cautioning the piople against
the medicine, telling them it
would do no good, and many
were th 'ti'by iiilluenced to de
stroy tic- S.-igi-l pamphlets; but
now, m hriii ver one is to be
found, it is kept like a relic.
Tin' fi w pivst rved are Imr
l'owcil t read, and I have lent
mine for six miles around our
district. People have, coini!
eighteen miles to get n to to buy
the medicine for thcin, know
ing that it cured me, and lo be
sure to get the right kind. I
know ii ivomaii who was look
ing like death, and who told
tin mm thi re was no help for her,
that she had eousttlled several
doctors, but none could help
her. 1 told her of Scigel's
Syrup, i-nd wrote the name)
dow n i'o" her that she might
make no mi-duke. She took
my advice and the Syrup, and
now she is in pcrfuct health,
.and the people around us arc
aiiia.e.l. The medicine has
tnaile sucli progress in our
nei ;hborhi mi that people, say
they don't .vant the doctor any
more, but they take the Syrup.
