Once a careless little boy Lost his ball at play, And because his ball was gone, Threw his bat away. Yes, he did a foolish thing - You and I a agree ; But 1 know another boy Nat more wise than he. He is old, this other boy - Old and wise as you - Yet, because he lost his kite, He lost his temper, too.

Socialism is the fantastical young- er brother of a nearly spent despot- ism, whose inheritance he claims. She was a thoughtful preacher's wife who said, "It takes pretty poor preaching to spoil the gospel." It is impossible to license crime by halves ; to authorize injustice and hope to regulate the measure of it. "The love of flattery," says Swift, "in most men proceeds from the mean opinion they have of them- selves ; in women from the con- trary." To maintain au opinion because itis thine, and not because it is true, is to maintain thyself, not the truth, and so to prefer thyself above the truth. Much as friends add to the hap- piness and value of life, we must in the main depend upon ourselves ; and everyone is his own best friend or his worst enemy. "What are you doing 2" asked a by-stander of a Christian black- smith, as with his heavy hammer he made the sparks fly in all directions. "Preaching the gospel to the regions beyond," was the reply. His mis• sionary heart coneecrated his muscle to making money for God. "Did Jonathan Edwards shake New England with a baked -bean bazaar 2" asks a minister who pre. sumably does not believe in "mer- chandising churches." He even enquires, "When Christ called the fishermen from their nets at Gali• lee, was it to catch jumping•jacks in Japanese fish -ponds 2" A DRUG OLERK1S BLUNDER. How a bottle wa•a broken in answer to prayer is told by J. H. Latham in his record of God in business. It is an iucideut which a gentleman related from his own experience as an answer to some scoffers, who wanted to know- why, if miracles occurred in Bible times, they did not occur now. He said : When I was n young fellow, I acted as assistant to an apothecary, and it was my duty to answer the night bell and prepare and give medicines when called for. One night I had been called up three times. I had just got bank to bed when the bell rang a fourth time. I jumped up very sleepily, and in a very bad temper, to find a little boy standing at the door who had been sent from a neighboring village for medicine for his sink mother. Growling, I took the phial from his band, and went into the back shop to mix the drops. In my sleepy and moos state I took down the wrong bottle, poured something from it, something from others, and gave the medicine to the boy. After looking the door I returned to put up the bottles ; but oh, horror 1 I saw I bad made an appalling mis- take. I called out m my anguish, "0h, God, grant that a miracle may happen to deliver me from the awful misery of pausing the death of a fellow -creature through my careless. Hees 1" I prayed in intense agony of soul. Then for the fifth time that night the bell rang again, and when 1 opened the door, there, trembling and crying, the little boy stood before me. "Oh, don't be angry at my disturbing yon again," pleaded the frightened child, "but I fell down, and the bottle was broken. 0h, please, sir, make up the medi- cine again, or my mother may die." You can imagine with that boy I received the child, and how willing. ly I mixed the drops from the right bottles. Wasn't that a miracle of mercy 2 How can anyone say that miracles never happen now ?

Oommonglass eyes, such as are made at hospitals, are easily made, and cost about two dollars each. But fashionable people are not sat. isfied with these, and some have half a dozen eyes manufactured for them before they are satisfied. Then they require at least two seta of eyes --one for evening wear, with larger pupils than the day ones, because the pupil of the eye is larger by night. Think of the horror of the lady, whom some accident has forced to wear a glace eye, on finding, after alio had entered a ball -room, that she had put in the wrong eye, and was going about with pupils of dif- ferent sizes 1 The effect would be as bad as a squint, or even a chronic wink. The writer of this article took the pains to look up the man who claimed so much for buttermilk. He proved to be a noted D. D., and a hardworking editor in New York City. He told me that the butter. milk had done wonders for him. He drank from two to four quarts every day. Occasionally he ate a small piece of dry bread. Nothing else passed his lips except the buttermilk. At the end of the first week the inflammation of his stomach subsided, and for the first time in many months he slept all night. At the end of the fourth week he considered himself well, though he continued to drink some buttermilk every day. He told me that while on the buttermilk diet be was at hie desk every day, and did Dot lose a pound. To avoid comp. Cation he kept away from the table. He also stated that his physician in- formed him that he had oared a large number of dyapeptios with the same prescription after everything else had failed. Other physiciaus of his acquaintance had resorted to the same "heroic" treatment with like results. lie mentioned the fact that a number of prominent physi- cians in Brooklyn had put their patients who were troubled with a low fever every day (occasioned mostly by weak stomachs) on the buttermilk diet with splendid re- sults. Since the above conversa- tion I have heard of a number of dyspeptice who have been helped and cured on the same line. I have tried it myself, and speak with confidence. Patients who have ail excess of acid iii their systems may not be bonelitted by its use, but the great majority who aro troubled with ordinary dyspepsia, torpid liver, and consequent "biliousness," will be greatly Helped, if not cured.

Besides this, it furniebes its own "juices" in a large measure, so that the digestive apparatus is ex- cused from unroll of the trouble. In a work, the lactic acid same to meet a waut. As a food and medicine it is simple and within the reach of all. In these days of mind pure, root• euro, oleotricity.curo, ovariotomy, and other forms of faith -euro, why dose no one start a musio•oure ? The influence of music on disease is as undoubted as that of opium on pain. In many forma of nervous affections, iu mental perturbations, the art which soothes the savage has proved a distinctly curative. In chorea the influence of gymnas• do exercises, aided by music, is of benefit. In the delirium of fever we have known the tender strains of Sclinbert'e serenade, evoked from the piano by the hands of a master, soothe the patient until he dropped into a quiet Bleep. The Lauoet says : "By acting as a refreshing mental stimulant and restorative it braces the depressed nervous tone, and indirectly that of the other tissues. Thus there is something to be said for the old custom of ex- ercising pestileuees by the sounds of music. (lalmed and inspired by harmony, the tonic energies of will and nerve combined to oppose a wholesome bodily tone to the in- vading scourge, and to prevent that tissue laxity which has often pro• vided the nidus of disease. A. simi• lar process is relied oa by those who turn to music, among other diver signs, for some relief from the pain of atonic neuralgia. In melancholia and allied states of depression its value is generally admitted in our own day." IN FO1IHATION.
