I once beard of a boy arnn9ing him self by setting up a row of bricks three or four inches apart, and then tappiDg over the first, hich striking the second caused it to fall oa the third, which ovei turned the fourth, and so on through the coarso until the brijks lay postrate on the ground. Thus it is with all our influences. They are continually knocking other people down. If 1 take a dram, somebody else will be ir.flienced by rae and will also take one, and be caa3c he docs so somebody else will do it too and because this oae doe it still another will, ana thus my lit tle influence goes on making drank ardt through all the future ages. Again ; If I ntter blasbphemoc language, another will do it, and be cause he does so another still will do it, and the esil genius goes on working demoralization sod ruin throch all tha coming centuries. And tous it is with all the evil prac tices of which we are ever guilty. They sdl txeit mfluen:e oyer others tending to drag them down to de gradation and ruin. We cannot avoid it ' None of us l.yeth to hira?t-lf and no man dieth to himself." Rum 14; 7. Living or dying, we cannot avoid teing influential and the fearful rt flection i that our in fluences is that our influences arc indestrcctible.

As one brick knocked another down acd that another and eo on to the last brick in tbe row, so our inflo ences will affect each succeeding generation tnrongb ths ages until the end of time. O then, let us be careful what character of influence we set in motion.

A correspondent of the New York Snn was in a little town In North Carolina recently, ir. which, he say, there teemed lo be plentv activity. Happening to pick op a copy of Ibr two weeklies published there, and finding nothing In the nhape of "itema" m the local column, I wa led lo wonder what sort of newspaper men the editors were. Meeting one of tbtm the same d -.y I asked: ''Joscn't anything ever happen heron 4,IIeap f,be replied. "There mas t bti runaways, row, dog tight, fires and accident." "Certainly." ''And are you too Iszy shorthanded to gather and the dttaihr ' Sr, every community particular idiom?, and they or tro publish has its do not alwaj s appear on the surface.

"And after him,' continued the editor, as he looked oat of the win djw ia g oomy way, ''would come our or five others, all hurt in their feelings in some way, and I'd loee a di;z;;n Qbscribers by the one item. Jt would be fctill worse if I published an account of a row or a dog fight, and yet worse if ' At that moment a man entered with a dark look on his face and struck out with : Kurnel, 1 Jess doan' want jo' paper any mo' I In this year itrm 'bout my ba'u burniDg up you state tuat it was insured.

When mrs million goes to rid she travels forth in state, lie bore . full of fire and pride, go prancing from the gate; But all the beauties of the day she views with languid eye, Her flesh in weakness wastes away , ber voice is bat a sigh. For Mrs. Million is an advanced stage of catarrh, and all the luxuries that wealth can buy fail to giye her comfort. She envies her rosy wait-ing-maid. and would give all her riches for tbat young woman's pore breath and blooming health. Now, if some true and disinterested friend would advise Mrs. Million of the wonderful merits of Dr. Sage's Catarrh liemedy, she would learn that her case is not past help, $500 reward is offered by the raanafactures for a case of catarrh in the head which they cannot care.

An ancient and distinguished individ ual writes: "I owe my wealth and ele vation to the neglect with which I used to be treated by the proud. It was a real benefit, though not ao intended. It awakened a zeal which did its duty, and was crowned wlthj success. I deter mined, if this neglect was owing to my want of learning, I would be studious and acquire it. I determined, if it was owing to my poverty, I would accumu late property, if extreme vigilance, in dustry, prudence and elf-denial would do.it (which will not always,). I de termined, if it was owing to my man ners, I would be more circumspect. I was anxious, also, to show those who had so treated me that I was undeserv ing euch coldness. I was also warmed by a desire that the proud should sec me on a level with, or elevated above, themselves. And I was resolved, alxvo all things, never to lose the consolation of being conscious of not deserving tho hauteur which they displayed to me." N. Y. Ledger. p- Tho Sting of Bees. A curious observation made by Dr. Terc, an Austrian physician, formed the subject of a paper read some time ago at a meeting of the French Ento mological Society. He asserts that a person stung ry bees is for a time ex empt from the effect of further sting ing, and is protected in the same sense that vaccination gives immunity with regard to smalbpox. This protection lasts foi v.Ir: months or less, according to the number of stings received. To ledo Blade. An Kye to lluslnes. Aunt Rachel Yes.

Wo have two throngs of customers. The first rush come about half-past nine in the morn ing. It is composed of -brokers busi ness men, clerks and office employes who have grown into the habit of rihing bat atvl rushing down to the ollice withrrut breakfast bo as to ftart the work of the day on time. They could easily pet their breakfast at their boarning-ho-uMs or nt homo if they WcriiM rise a half hour earlier, but most of thenl tire np late at night, and the temptation of a kmger nap in the morn iil ! too alluring to resist. So they hurry doW-town, open the mail, start things a-going, and then rufh irrto the nearest rentavtrant for breakfast. It does not hurt any man to take a little exercise before be eaUs in the morning, and undoubtedly a delay in the first m-al of the day would not do them any particular harm if they would be care ti about the character of their food. But after working two hours on an empty stomach they come in in violent haste, order a cocktail, and then eat pastry and sweets enough to ruin the digctum of an rstrich. They usually start in with rost beef or some other dish that is ready and wind up with rrdr'-s pie or a boiled apple dumpling. I knoW IfWny a business man who comes in and OOfwmoB three or four dishes and is out of th? place again in less than fifteen minutes. At lunch time they come in again and load up with an oyster pattie or beefsteak pie or Borne other dish in which rich pastry Ls an important factor. This second rush of trade is even more interesting than the first, because it shows how the habit of eating pastry grows.

Aii Old Lad' Experience with a Steam Dr. C. C. Abbott, in "Outing's at Odd Times," tells a tragic tale of an nd venture which once befell an old lady, "long, long ago." The spot where she lived was almost a wilderness, and was beset with the perils of a new and scantily-settled land. The now almost-forgotten Camden A Araboy railroad was in operation, but, though scarcely a mile distant, it was as nothing to her. She knew neither what nor where it was. But where the best whortleberries grew, In the back swamp, was knowledge worth her possessing. Although her cousin Abijah had killed a bear there during the winter, she did not stop to think of that, but one day started for berries where few men would care to follow. ith a light heart she gathered and gathered, until at length an ominous Hhrieking fell up on her ears. "Could it be another bear?" thought she, and turned her face homeward. Her big basket was not quite full, and there were such loads of fruit within easy reach! This was tantalizing, but all her doubt vanished with the second shriller, more unearthly scream. The. path was no longer plain, nor was she sure-footed. As she pitched recklessly forward the berries were bounced by handfuls from her basket, and finally in despair she threw aside the basket itself. And still sounded through the swamp the terrible screeching of that angry bear. At last she could see her cottage through the thickly-set trees, but not so plainly the tortuous path. One mis step, and she sank, waist-deep, in the yielding mud of an old well, and there she stood screaming, until her husband came to the rescue. "Do be still, Hannah." was his first remark, after she had chokingly called his attention to the still audible erie-s of the bear; "that's only the new fangled steam-ingine whistlinT' "And to think," the old lady was wont to remark, on concluding this story, "to think I lost all them beautiful berries!" Youth's Companion. - - Old Clothe from London. There are London dealers who ad vertise their readiness to buy "cast-off clothes for export only." To what country are these cast-off clothes ex ported? A New Yorker who ought to know says that the chief markets for them are among the blacks of the British possessions in Africa Some of them are sent to Asia Minor and the regions bordering on the Red sea, but more of them go to Guinea and the lands of the Hottentots. It i3 a proud day for a negro when he can stride among his bare-boned brethren in the garb of a London dandy. 1 here can W no doubt that civilization is pro moted by the trade in old clo N. Y Sun.
