about it and as for your unwortbiness — when the lost ones of earth aro not worth re deeming then some other standard of worth in ust be regarded than that simple one wliich jesus of nazareth gave to his followers so it was settled that chillies should go into the country and remain a while he found mr williams the brother ready and happy to receive him and tliere he soon began to regain his health and spir its in two weeks he was as strong as ever and at he end ofa month the marks of dissipation had all left his face then he returned to town and entered the store amos williams gave him a lucrative sta tion and bade him remember nothing of the past save the one great lesson he had learned charles he said you remember the widow swan t yes sir well 1 have engaged board for you there i hone the arrangement will suit you yes sir returned the youth with emotion rrom that time charles aubrey went on nobly and truly iu the path he had marked out little did charles aubrey know how closely he had been watched mr wil liams knew his every movement even to his prayers whicli he poured forth in the privacy of his own apartment thus passed away three months and at the end of lhat

with these words mr williams left the store and as soon as charles could recov er from the strange emotion that luul al most overpowered him he called the por ter to co'.i-.e and lock up and hen having locked up the great sab he took his de parture in ihe next morning he came to the stoic and when his employer came be informed him that he had given his notice to mis swan aery well returned tho merchant this evening theu you will go home w ith me evening came and charles aubrey ac companied his friend home tea was ready the rest ofthe family having eaten an hour before after tea charles was conducted to tho sitting-room where lamps were burning and where mr wil liams informed him he could amuse him self by reading charley sat down there and his employer went out but bo could not read thus he sat when the door slowly opened and a female appeared within the apartment with a quick step he sprang forward and without a word he caught a fair girl to his bosom mary he uttered as he gazed into the sparkling eyes of the fair being who still clung fondly to him you still love me you forgive me all — and trust me once more ." ves she murmured and ere she could speak further her father entered the room aha ! so you've found him bave you mary ?" be cried iu a happy joyous tone mr williams uttered charles still holding mary by the hand and speaking with difficulty i hope i'm not deceived oil you bave not brought me here to kill ine yon can not have passed this cop to my lips only to ilash it away again !" of coarse not said tbe merchant hut you must know the whole truth and for fear my child may not tell you i'll tell you myself this noble girl lias never ceased to love you and when you were tbe lowest down sbe loved you the most she came to me and asked me if sbe might save you if sbe could i could iuot tell ber nay and she went to work she lias buffered much and charles it remains with you to decide whether her future sliall be one of happiness or not sbe knew that yon were down and that your money was all gone and that your false friends had forsaken you then her love for you grew bold and strong she wondered if you would repulse ber she knew not what might be your feeling and to save herself iron i the pain ofa di rect repulse from you she assumed a dis guise so that sbe might approach you without being known and yet gain some idea of your feelings and save you if she could 1 think sbe has done well at any rate she has regained you to herself and it must now be your fault if tbe silk en tie is loosed again and with these words the father left the apartment vou mary you in disguise?1 he queried as soon as he could speak ay my dear charles and you know why i did it here do you not remem ber it ?'' and as she spoke she drew from her bosom a small silken purse and took thererrou a sixpence the youth recognized it iu an instant tfli !" he cried as he strained the noble girl to his bosom what can i say ? mary mary my own heart's truest love let my life in the years to come tell my grati tude oh my all of life is yours and my last breath sliall bear your name in grati tude to god ." the use of an enemy always keep an enemy in band — a brisk hearty active enemy itemark the uses of an enemy : i the having one is proof that you are somebody wishy-washy empty woith less people never have enemies men who never move nor run agaiust anything and when a man is thoroughly dead and utterly buried nothing ever runs against him to be run against is proof of exis tence and position • to run against some thing is proof of motion 2 an enemy is to say the least not partial to you he will not hatter he will not exaggerate your virtues lt i.s very probable that ho will slightly mag nify your faults the benefit of that is twofold — it permits you to know that you have faults and are therefore uot a mon ster and it makes them of such size as to be visible and manageable f course if you have a fault you desire to know it ; when you become aware that you have a fault you desire to correct it vour ene my does for you this valuable work which your friend cannot perform 3 in addition your enemy keeps you wide awake he does not let you sleep at your post there are two that always keeps watch namely the lover and ihe hater vour lover watches that you may sleep he keeps oil noise excludes light adjusts surroundings that nothing may disturb you vour hater watches thai you may not sleep he stirs you up when you are uappiug he keeps your facul ties on the alert even when he does no thing he will have put you in such a state of mind that you cannot tell what he will do next and this meu tai qui vive must be worth something 4 he is a detective among your frieuds vou need to know who your friends are and who are not and who are your ene mies the last of these three will dis criminate the oilier two when your en emy goes to one who is neither friend nor enemy and assails you the indifferent one will have nothing to say or chime iu not because he is your enemy but because it is no much easier to assert than to op pose and especially than to refute hut your friends will take up cudgels for you on the instant he will deny everything and insist on proof and proving is very hard work tliere is scarcely a truthful man in the world that could afford to un dertake to prove one tenth of all his truth ful assertions vour friend will call your enemy to the proof and if the indifferent person through carelessness repeats the assertions of your enemy he i.s soon made to fee the inconvenience thereof by the zeal your friend manifests follow your enemy around and you will find your friends for he will have developed them so that they cannot be mistaken the next best thing to having a bun died real friends is to have one open ene my

... . how the tides are produced there has always been a difficulty in ! the minds of teachers as well as in the , mi ml of learners to comprehend the theory of the tides as presented in our text-books this theory fails to give a satisfactory account of the tides on the side of the earth most remote from the sun and moon according to this theory at that part ofthe earth's surface which • is turned away from the moon or from the sun n less amount of attraction is felt by ; her waters than anywhere els mi ber • surface ; and tlie whole earth is therc ; lore in effect drawn away from the waters on the far side of her and thus the water being left behind a tide i.s produced on this side as well as on the side at which the force of gravity acts directly that so great an absurdity should have been accepted so long by our writers of text books is truly marvelous it is indeed so contrary to all known facts and laws ot physics that if no other influences are felt by the waters at the far side of the earth than attraction there would be just the opposite effect produced to that alleged by this absorb hypothesis this can be demonstrated by actual experi ment and so conclusively as any other fact coming within the reach of experi mental philosophy it has been proved experimentally that all bodies on the sur face of the earth at midnight are heavier thau at any other hour of the twenty four and when the new moon occurs at midnight this increase of weight or grav ity felt by matter on this part of the sur face of the earth is still greater now it this theory were correct attraction would produce just the opposite effect ; that is matter would weigh less at midnight than iit any other hour of tht twenty-four n the side of the earth facing the sun and moon the weight of
