The doctors said he was. in Consumption, and that they could do nothing for him, but advised him. as a last resort, to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After taking this medicine, two or three months, he was pronounced a well man. His health remains good to the present day. J. S. Bradley, Malden, Mass., writes : "Three winters ago I took a severe cold, which rapidly developed into Bronchitis and Consumption. I was so weak that I could not sit up, was much emaciated, and coughed incessantly. I consulted several doctors, but they were power- less, and all agreed that I was in Con- sumption. At last, a friend brought me a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. From the first dose, I found relief. Two bottles cured me, and my health I en since been perfect."

"Baca time that a good child dies, an An. gel M God mimeo down to earth, takeet the dead child, in his arm% epreada abroad his large anow-white wings, flies forth over all theme plecoa which the ohild had loved, and plucks a whole handful of flowers, wti h be beers upwards with Mtn to the throlie of God, that they,may bloom there in yet rt 'st- ar lovelineas than they had ever bloomed on earth. The good God folds all these ti .‘ters to his bosom,but upon the flower we h he loveth beat He breathes a kiea, and when a voice3 is given to it, and it can join in the song of universal bleseedness." Lo'all this did an Angel of God relate whilst be bore a little child to Heaven •, and the child heard as if in a dream, and tbe angel winged his flight ever those epote in the child's home where the little one had been wont to play, and they passed through gardens which were fi led with glorious flowers. " Which of all these shall we take with us and plant in heaven 1' asked the Angel. Now there awed in the garden a slender and beautiful rose tree,; but a wicked hand had broken the stem, so that its boughs hung around it withered, though laden with large - unfolded buds. "The poor' Rose, tree 1" said the child "let us take it with us, that it may bloom above there in the presence of God, And the Angel took the Rose -tree, and kissed the cbild because of the words it had spoken; and the little one half-opeued his eyes. They then plucked some of he gor- geous flowers which grew in the garden, but they also gathered the despised butter -cup, and the wild hearts ease. "Now then we, have flowers 1' exclaimed the child,and the and bowed Ms head ; but he winged not yet his flight towards the throne or God. It was night, all was still, they remained , in the great city, they hovered over one of the narrow streets in which lay heaps of traw, ashes and rubbish, for it was flitting day. Fragments of plates, broken mortar, rags end old hats, lay scatteredearound, all which bore a very uninviting aspect. The Angel pointed out in the midst of all this confused nibbish, some broken frag- ments of a flower pot, and a clump of earth which had fallen ont of it, and was only held together by the withered roots of a wild flower, which had been thrown out in- to the street because ii was considered utter- ly worthless. "We will take th's with es," said the Angel "and 1 will tell thee why, as we soar upwards together to the throne of God," So they resumed their flight, and the An- gel thus releted his story. ' Down in that narrow street, in the lowest cellar, there once dwelt a poor sick boy; from his very infancy he was almost bed -ridden. On his best days he could take two or three turns on crutches across his little chamber, and that was all he could do. On a few days in aummer, the beams of the sun used to pene- trate for half an hour to the floor of the eellar; and when the poor boy sat there and let the warm sun shine upon him, and look- ed at the bright red blood flowing through his delicate fingers, as he held them before his face, then was it said of him, "He has been out to.day." A neighbor's son used al- ways to bring him one of the young beughs of the beech tree, when it was first budding into life, and this was all he knew of the woods in their b auteous clothing of spring verdure. Then would he place this bough above his head, and dream that he was under the beech trees, where the sun was shining, and the birds were singing. On one spring day, the neighbor's son also brought him some wild flowers, and amongst these there happened to be one which had retain- ed its root, and for this reason it was placed in a flower pot and laid upon the window sill quite close to the bed, And the flov,er was plented by a fortunate hand, and it grew end sent forth new shoots, and bore flowers every year ; it wee the eiek boy's most prec- ious flower garden— is little treasure here en earth—he watered It, AAA claer1s12ed and took care that the very last sunbeam which glided through the lowly windeW, thould talkie upon hs blossoms. And these flowers were interwoven even it1 his dream —for him thoy bloomed, for him they shed mound their fragrance and rejoiced the eye with their beauty, and when the Lord call. ad him hence, he turned even in death towards his cherished plant. He has now been a year with God, a year has the flow- er stood forgotten in the window, and now is is withered, therefore has it been thrown ent with the rubbish irto the street. And this is the fiower, the poor withered flower which we have added to our nosegay, for this flower has imparted more joy than the rarest and brightest blossom which ever bloomed in the garden of a Queen." " But how comest thou to know all this?" asked the &end whom the Angel was bearing with him to heaven, "1 know it," replied the angel, "for I was myself the little sick boy who went upon crutches. I know my flower well.'' And now the child altogether unclosed his eyes, and gazed into the bright gloriou face of the angel, and et the same moment they found themselves in the Paradise of God, where joy and blessedness for ever dwelL And God folded the dead child to his heart, and he received wings like the other angel, and flew hand in hand with him. And all the flowers also God folded to his heart, but upon the poor withered wild flower he breathed a kilo, and a voice was given to it and it sans together with all the angels which encircled the throne of God; some veretnigh unto his presence others encum- passing these in ever widening eirolem until they reached infinity itself, but all were alike happy. And they all sang with one voice, littlei and great; the good, blessed child and the poor wild flower which had lain withered and oast out amongst the sweepiegs, and under the rubbish of the flitting day, in the midst of the dark nar- row street.

A lady named Mrs, Hutton has given the following account of an interesting thing she saw near Sydney, N. S. W. It was nothing more or less than an aut funeral, Here are her words: "1 saw a large number of ants surrounding the dead ones. I determined to watch their proceedings closely. I followed four or five that started otl from the rest toward a bit lock a short distance off, in which was an ants' neat. This they entered, and in about five minutes they reappeared, followed by others. All fell into rank, walked regularly and slowly two by two, until they arrived at the spot wheree lay the dead bodies of the soldier -ants. In a few minutes two of the ants advanced and took up the dead body of one of tbeir comrades, then two others, and so on until all were ready to march. First walked two ants bearing a body, then two without a burden, then two others with another deed ant, and so on until the line extended to about forty pairs ; and the pro. cession now moved slowly onward, followed by an irregular body of about two hundred ants. Occasionally the two laden ants stop- ped, and laying down the dead ant, it was oaken up by the two walking unburdened behind them ; and thus, by occasionally re- lieving each other, they arrived at a sandy epot near the sea. The body of ants now commenced digging with their ja a num- ber of holes in the ground, into which a dead ant was laid, where they now labored on until they had fi led up the ants' graves. This did not quite finish the remarkable cir- cumstances attending the funeral of the ante Some six or sevea et the ante had ettempt ed to run off without performing their share of the task of digging. These were caught and brought back, when they were at once attacked by the body of the ants and killed upon the spot. A single grave wa,s quickly deg, and they were all dropped into 10."

A Boston Negro Queen. .A curious female characterresides in the North End of Boston. Sheis a negro woman who olaims to be of royal blood,and behaves herself with dignity comporting with her fancied station. Clothed in royal purple she its daily upon "her throne," an old arm chair. There is a bell attachment in her room, a sort of annunciator, which she pulls when she desires anything. The bell on the end of the cord rings in the kitchen of "her castle," and a "servant of the court" from the kitchen attends her. Be- fore entering her appaxtment it is necessary that they shall knock on the door and await the order to "come in." She is very strict in this particular. Even he whom she has sworn to "love, obey and cherish" must conform to this rule, which is arbitrary and absolute. Her meals are :tarried to her, and if she wishes to go "up town" shopping or to church a herdic must be ready and paid for in advance to carry her about. She rules the subjects— colored sailor boarders—some- times with "a rod of iron," and occasionally she issues a proolamstion. A GLANCE AT THE. FUTURE. The Ilish Speaking Races a Hundred 'Wears from New. BY 'RT. HON, W, E. GLADSTONE In the " Youth'e Conipaniou," there' hsa beers publiehed a paper by Mr, Gladstone on "The Future of the Englislespealtiug Recess" which is so obaraoteristeally ebbe, and, within the necessary limits, so exha,uat as well es so nobly suggestive, that we give the greater part ef it for the benefit of our readera. " In the freshness of tile early morning," says the veteran statesman„ one who views it can hardly help considering a little what wili be the charaoter of the corning day. Eceu so it is the destiny, not to say the duty and the delight, of youth, ab least in seleet oases, to forecast, vaguely perhaps, hut fondly, the experienoes of the developed life which is to follow. Nor is it long before, in the shape of political sympathies or otherwise, the scope of youthful views is so enlarged as to include the future oftethe community to- gether with that of the individual. If we are here to dittinguish among the ramie Vf Moil people the world, it is within the limits of what is conventionally termed the Anglo-Saxon race, that this widened outlook ought to be most familiar. For it is pre eminently the Anglo. Saxon raoe, for which the future promises in many things to rival or outstrip the past. And if, egain, we are to distinguish amen the several communitlea comprised within the large circuit of this race, it is in the United States of America that the young mind should be most willing and most apt thus to ASK QUESTIONS OF THE UNFOLDING YEARS. For Ilia is the community which, most rapidly of all communities that have been known to historic times (if I may borrow a metaphor from boyhood), outgrows its clothes. Here are summed up, on the largeet scale, and in the most salient forms, the charac- teristics of the New World. Here is most fully and fairly delivered the challenge of the New World to the Old World. The Old World, which changes slowly, is chal- lenged and put upon its trial by the New, which opens Man as nature opens in a Rum elan spring; and which, in throwing down the glove, thinks something of what it is, but more of what it is to be. The age, no less than the lineage and the region, tempt and compell us, both in and beyond America, mo peer into the future. For surely the hand of the Almighty has written uppon the walls of our habitation letters of invitation aud of promise not less visible than that terrible handwriting ot doom, which once affrighted the eyes of Belshazzar, nor so much demanding the aid of a skilled interpreter. If the world and the human race are governed by Design, then there are abun- dant marks that this our time, and the tomes consecutive upon it, have been and are allotted to a special and large unfolding of that Design, with all the powers and inter este, the duties and responsibilities it intel. ves. Of these marks I will pointedly mention only four and will mention them within the compass of lines scarcely more numer- ous. First, the enormous increase of material power, available for all the exterior tees of life : so that it has long since been computed that in Great Britain alone, the force of ma- chinery was equal (as it must now be more than equal) to the corporal power of the whole human race. Secondly, the augmented means and awe. lerated speed of communication in its yarn OUB forma. Thirdly, the Vast increase, and more solid basis, of the knowledge of nature, in almost every province of her mighty realm. Fourthly, that enlargement of the times of peace, and contraction of the times of war, throughout the civilized world, which has during the present century appeared, not- withstanding some very sinister accompani- ments, to be gradually hardening into a nor - If orders al e not obeyed there is a storm mal fact of the modern life, and greatly to of royal weath; BYen these who are with mlarge the ipdestrial capacity and career of Out ll'er domain have been known to Shade' at her anger and praise heaveh that they €1,i'v living under a republican form of govern- ment. This euriotte eharacter claims that her great grandfather was an African king, his wife was a queen, his son succeeded bim to the throne, and his son, her father, in turn became the ruler of the tribe which she claims, as the only daughter of the king, to preside over. She is proud of her lineage, and although not living in regal splendor she maintains her queenly dignity, which, however, she assumed only a few years ago. The assump. tion was brought about by an erroneous act of her husband, a very dark complexioned son of some other royal African family, who became enamored of a "white lady" who conducted a forth class hostelry for colored sailors, and eloped with her. When he returned, penitent, she determined that from that time forth she would live as be- came a queen, and make her sponse, who was of lesser rank, treat her as her dignity and position commanded. From that time up to the present ahe has obliged him to bow in subserviency to all her wishes. That Last, Last Night. The moon hung glorious in the sky, As heart in heart, and eye in eye, Uoheeding all the hours flew by That last, last night. The lanes were brilliant red and gold; How passing sweet the story told— ! never long and never old— That lamb, last night. We pledged eaoh other to attain To Pisgah's heights of heart and brain, And each to each should true remake That last, last night.

It will be a source ot congratulation to philanthropists all the world over ahould the coolness existing between England and Ger- many be reinoved by the combination of the two powers fox the etttopreesion of slavery in Aimee.

It would have been easy to point to the pow- er or rather the diverse powers, of the Press: the power of Association I tha power of the minsionary : the extension of Government by representation: the raised status of women: the growth of international law, which is a voice of civilized man at large, and which goes to control the action of each particular state by the settled judgment of the whole." After some extended calculations which need not be given, Mr. Gladstone draws cer- tain conclusions, the first of which is that " in all likelihood, amounting nearly, though not quite, to moral certainty, the numbers of the English-speaking races will, at the period in question (about a hundred years hence) be enormously in encomia of those antedated with any other European or old world Ian. guage, and perhaps very considerably in ex- cess of them all when put together. Then he proceeds with the rest of his argument as follows: "My second proposition is that, under the conditions of modern communicatioo, this vast increase of the English-speaking races by one, in course of removal, so as to justify the belief thet occaeione of offence can only be fureished herealter by it spirit; of wanton provocation suoh aa would lie beyond all the ordinary Irmite ot human folly, T do not undervalueprospective European difficulties. But they appear to be wholly European, and they do not reach aorosa the broad Atlantic Wb1011 is upon the whole, apart from other incidents A MIGHTY GUARANTEE; FOR PEACE. There has been no war acroes that ocean for more than seventy yoars; why should there be one for seventy, or twice seventy more? It would be preeumptuous to say there wilt not and cermet be an ueforeeeen controversy; but it need not be presump- tuous to hold that there is no British, no , European, reason for foreseeius one. Espeoally if the same true and fine instinct, which has taught Amerieens that the Union must he one from New England to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the Atlantic sea. board to the Pacific, shell also with the lesson of "thus far" teach them as effect- ually the lemon of "no farther," and help them more and more to realize the enor. mous advantage of continuous territory. It is in the same o'aeerfai spirit that I would touoh a second political question, with whioh some British minds may be troubled. Will the uprising nations, wnich are still Dependencies on the British Crown continue, for another century, to own its supremacy? My answer is simply this : I hope they may ; I know of no reason why they should not ; why the elastic relations, which now happily subsist, ehould not con- tinue to find room and verge enough for including and adjasting suet: novelties as may arise. It is true that some great war might stir up a new class of difficulties : but do not despair of finding the resources of civilizetion to be sufficient for solving thcm. In the recent history of colonial relations, ceutel- petal has been stronger than centrifugal force; and the vague possibilities of separ- ation have thus far been dwindling, and not growing, with the /apse of time. But these cheerful persuasions must not de- ter me from observing that these resources of civilization, and the hopes of the future. would not be exhausted, even if the politi cal ties were IN ANY GIVEN CASE SUPPOSED To BE SUN- DERED. On the contrary, the community of language, the essential and governing unity of race, the oommon patrimony of great and funda- mental ideas which supply a base and a mould for politics at large, together with the wide and deep sympathies in religion, wonld remain entire. And if we are no v, under tbe joint action of many influences, drawing morally and socially nearer to our colonists; it is perfectly possible that that approxima- tion might continue, even if one among those influenoes were subtracted from their aggre- gate. Even so it is that, according to my judg• ment and experience, there is an approxima- tion actually at work between Eaglisnmen and Americans. They are being drawn nearer and nearer to one another, uot by any artificial contrivances, but with "the cords of a men." Not in proof, but in illustration of this sentiment, I may refer to the increasing number of marriages between English and. Americans, and the entirely genial character of their social results. All my life long, have, in a wide and varied circle, seen and shared the intercourse between the two countries. It is not the same as it was. It bas been visibly softened, mellowed, ripened. An American stranger is to us more and more like a British stranger, and I hope that a British stranger is to them more and more like an Amerman stranger. If there is a space between, it is a narrowing space. The great idea of common inheritance, and to a large Extent of common prospeets, more and more regulates Lair relations, and makes easy and familiar the conditions of mutuol approach. If not the actual sense, yet something like the Lethal sense, of a common country, is growing up afresh, and the ELEMENTS OF A NEW lidORAJJ UNITY are gradually Inth multiplied, and shaped int a familiar use, a SVG Bad iarot however hesitate to embrace what I will now in conclusion set ont itomy third proposition ; namely, that great in- fluence and great duties cannot &come to the Eaglish-speaking races, united by so many ties, and in suchpreponderating mass, as towards the rest of the civilized world. There can hardly fail to grow up in the hands of this portion of mankind, a species of hegemony, hard at this time to .describe, but subtle and refined in its essence, thoroughly natural and normal in its origin, and dependent wholly on free acknowledg- ment for its reception. Our tongue, with all that belongs to it, will be the one most fully repreaented at every point on the surface of the globe. It will reach almost to every human being, even if only by rnaterisl dealings, and the stress of the progressive material develop- ment. It must outnumber in each country the visitors of any other country. They must exceed all others in such influences as they receive in common to those who travel from within the respective precincts of the OTHER GREAT AND FAMOUS TONGUES. A common moral and social stock will so - cumulate among them within the circuit of the English epeeoh, far larger than any other in the world. It will be strange in- deed, if they do not become in a marked de- gree the leaders of opinion, and hrough opinion, of practice. I am aware that, on the principles I have sketched, the same issues which give a pre- dominance to English -speakers in the world may also give a predominence among Eng- lish -speakers to Americans. I do not as- ter= thac all these changes will be unmix- edly for good. What I desire is that we should meet them with a prepared mind; should be ready, we the English -speakers among ourselves, to waive sectional for the sake of general ad- vantage ; that we. should try to excel or neutralize detected or suspected misehiefs, to extraot from each nag force the :maxi- mum of good which it is capable of yielding. Most of all, that we should never allow the buoyant experiences of the new SMte to abate our reverence for the Elder World, and the great traditions of mankind : and that we should bear in mind how every new channel opened to our influence, every accession oe WILL DRAW THEld MORE CLOSELY TOGETHER; will augment their stock of common interests and feelings; will render them as to each collective ego, each territory or country, less egotistical; and will evolve and consoli- date, throughout the mites, a stronger sense of moral oneness. Of political relations I do not presume to speak. Some may be of opinion that, if the United States hold as they are likely to hold, their polities' unity, a State of such vast dimensions, with wealth in all likeli- hood more than proportionate will be menacing or even perilous to the European world. ' I do not share these fears, London with its four millions of people, is far better governed, far more under control then when it had but one-fourth of its present population, I for one am so sanguine as to believe that, long before it ha fi six or eight Millions, it will have acquired, and will be in the familiar use ot, the ineatimeble privileges of local self trovernment at present deal better still. our advantage in the Ltribution of the Ono - wanting to it, and will be goverhed a great made to our social fo, every shiftbuf to Government he I apprehend, more highly menet' of htiman action, is a new trust for oreanized now in the United Stietee, than wItMh we rauest give itocount, a new summons when they had one twentieth or one tenth of their preeient population, Happily for inankind, the period of large territorial conqueets seems to be drawing rapidly towards a lose, and the available surface of the pleinet Is limited so as to forbid an ex- tensive reeleal.

The cart- ridges for birds flyirg down the wind were loaded with 3 drachms black powder and le drachms No a. soft ohne Up wind, where the birds flew, of course, less swiftly, but 3 drachme cd: powder were used. He Bays the next time he will use only one ounce of shot, because he did not get geed penetra- tion with the load used, since he(fired tnree times at one bird, hitting it in the body ati aeon shot, bat not knocking it down until Otto third. This will sound queer to Amer can sportsmen, who use shut as Small as No. 7 and No. 8 for grouse especially eaely in the season. It is likely"that smeller shot would have been more deadly because.oflhe greater number of pellets hitting the bird. Ib also seems a little curious that so many birds were killed with cylinder barrels, since a true cylinder gun, with No. 6 shot, gives a pattern of about 115 shot in a thirty - inch circle at fsrty yards, while a full choke puts just 100 more shot in the same circle. It leeks as if the noble lord must have tired at short range—say, eighteen yards on the average—at which distance a cylinder is much better than a choke. The noble lord does not like his Whioworth barrels, saving that they have an unpleatiant ring when fired, auct they heat sooner then Damascus barrels used in all Greener guns. Qaeer Toy. Eaoli yeer we hear of Immo new fay meant to furnish pleasure to those who are able to pay for such things. Music boxes are among the commonest of these. A cut-glaes decanter with a mutioal box concealed in the bottom is the latest novelty in the line of fanoy articles with minicab attachments. The decanters are tinted in Ei, variety of delicate colors, whinh serve to oonceal the faith bottom under which the mechanism is plemd. Clear glass bottles are also made, wed when partly filled with wine or colored Belida conceal the works still more effectually. The musica. box is wound by means of a button tinder the bet - tem, and plays only when the decanter is placed on the table. Musical plates are made in a similar manner, but the mechan- ism in them does not play when the Plate is on the table, but when it is lifted to be passed mound, A concealed riving under- neatn starts and stops the works. The plates and decanters cost $7.50 each. The moat elegant fancy article that emits musi- cal sounds is a gold snuff box. It is ele- gantly wrought and is maavellons in its working. Pressure upon a small disc names a cirouler lid about the sins of a silver dollar to fly open, and a little bird pops into view. The feathered songster warbles in exact imitation of a canary. An American Rifle Teal for Europe. J. A. Hugging, of Pittsburg, one of the beat of Ametican rifle shots, expectil to take a team of twelve men to Europe next year. It will be a national team, and he expects it to win more than its share of the kreati European contest. He thinks that American rifle shooting is underesilinated in Europe, and says :-- "The quality.of rifle shooting our coun- try at present m surprisingly better to -day than it was even five years ago. Soores o Inert are now making averages that were con- sidered extraordinary it few years ago. Why, about five years ago 1 weet out to a local range, and in the proem:is of several Pitts - burgers made an average of 75. This was considered wonderful, but now an average of that kirid amounts to nothing in a con- test. There ate also nearly 60 per oen more shooter America to -day than there were a foe years ago. This shows that rife shooting ig increasing more in popularity in this country than anywhere else. ' Self-Esteem—This faculty ahowe itself in a long or deep upper hp.
