Daring the past winter a party of
persons have been upon the summit of
Mount Washington taking notes or the
temperature. They had a small house
erected which was lined upon the ceilinsr.
sides and floor with two thkknes5ei of
heavy felting. When the weather was
sufficiently warm they ventured out of
doors. On Friday night, February Cd,
thy enjoyed a lively gale. They say:
' It was one of those gales that keep us
wide awake when it might be more
agreeable to sleep. On Saturday morn
ing it was quite tool, 20 bilow zero,
and after a day of iutense cold, the
thermometer at 7 p. m., settled to 45
below zero, the wind blowing hard all the
time. In such an atmosphere it would
not take many minutes for a person to
be numbered among the things that
were. When the record was 4J below
zero, we thought the bottom had been
touched, but the mercurv continued to
fall until 3 o'clock, Sunday mrrning,
when it was fifty-eight degrees below
zero.'' mmmmmmm
ol I.ivcr Oil.
In every country on the earth there
are to be found sufferers whoe chief re
liance against the ravages of damp ami
cold air i is found in the oil from the
codfish liver jrciis iselli). It is not,
therefore, surprising that the single port
of St John, Newfoundland, exported
last year nearly 3"0 tons of this invalua
ble medicine. The declared value of
this quantity is about SI 10,000. The
oil is dissolved from the livers by gentle
heat, in a tin vessel placed in boiling
water, and filtered twice. "The last fil
tration is made through heavy woolen
cloth, and takes from ihe oil nearly ail
it's odor and color, leaving in it all the
iodine to which, in combination with its
carbon, its alternative, fattening, and
heat-creating properties are due. It is
not only in consumption, but in scrofu
lous affections and diseases wasting the
tissues, that its value is felt. The
sickly infants i.f poor mothers, whose
atrophy, from bad and insufficient food,
commences even before their birth, can
be nursed into health and plumpness by
its aid. Frum its tir-t introduction to
the world in the year 1S32, the use of it
lias been steadily on the increase; and
the recent anuual report of one of the
latgf.-t of" the London hospitals shows
that 70 por cent, of the patients of all
c'as-es are largely ben fitted by it use.
It was lir.-t introduced into medicine by
Dr. Pcrcival.
Living I'.pistle.
Christians tiro living epi.stles to be
read. The world reads them every dav.
How important that this living gospel,
which waits a:id trades, and stirs about
in public tdaer-s, should ha correctly
printed ! let bow many of these living
einstiCs liave he mi printed fiom battered
iy I'L', lll'ill ll!l-l-'l UHllN t;il f'VllLC-ll ILL
per, and in dim itik. But, after all, or
thodoxy is safer in the con-cei ated heart,
thnn in the theological library. Evan
irelisin is an upright., open-eyed warm
handed, advancing thing, not the flat
fiiin-iness of a acre programme, to be
written and put away on the shelf fir
safe keeping; it is always alive, alert
and growing ; it is not dead Latin, but
vital mother tongue in this country ; is
not stcepled to church, eadeuced in ritu
al, or ro'-od ct the altar, so much as
hearted in living people, and radiated
in work day duties.
Our Vt'i'iicKM of Immortality.
Dr. Hall .says : ''The popular impres
sion is that ordinary men live whol'y or
mainly in the present. If the present,
as distinguished from the eternal, be
meant, it is true. But it i.s not true
that most men live in the present as con
trasted with the nearer future. On the
contrary, the peron is little in most
minds, but as a stfp to the future. The
child longs for boyhood, and the boy for
manhood. Manhood loners for the time
of establishment, and when it i.s reached
if it be the time of it and relief
from rare. So the human spirit, 1 y its
projecting of itself into thu future, ap
pears in some vague way to own its pres
ent unsatisfactory condition, and to 'feci
after, if happily it may find' something
better in advance. It would be strange
if this life long habit of count ng on the
future were to be broken abruptly off af
ter death, and end in nothing. It is the
witness without ourselves of our immor
tality."
In fcioiis for Display.
The world is crazy for show. There is
not one person in a thousand who dares
fall back on nothing but his real, simple
self fir power to pet through the world,
and ex'raet enjoyment as he goes along.
There is too much living in the eyes of
other people. There is no end to the
aping, the mimicry, th? false airs, and
t!ie superficial arts. It requires rare
courage, we admit, to live up to one's
enlightened convict i ns in thes times,
I'n'ess you con-ent to join in general
cheat, you are jostled nut of reach.
There is no room for you among the
m at mob of pretenders. If a man
to live within his means, and is
resolute in his purpose not to appear
mote than he really is, let him be ap
plauded. There 's something fresh and
rare in such an example.
A T!itilit for Parents
Never fur one day forget that tho first
book children read. nay. that which they
continue to road, and by far the mod in
fluential, is that of their parents' exam
ple and daily deportment. If this
should be disregarded by you, or even
forgotten, then be ii"t surprised when
you find another way to your sorrow
ami vexation, and the interruption of
your business, if not the loss of ad your
domestic happiness and peace that
your children only ' know the right path,
but stili follow the wrong. " " j
A Moilirr'n Influence.
A man finds he cannot make bis wnv
in tho wo-.ld without honesty and indus j
t.v. so that, although bis p, ii,pr'K ov:.
pie may do much, he has to depend upon
his 0Wn exertions ; he must work, he
must must be honest, or he cannot attain
t any envial h; rank. But the tender
southings of a mother, her sympathy,
her ilcvotedness, her forgetting temper
all this sinks deep in a child's heart;
and let him wan ler ever so wide, let him
err, or let him lead a life of virtue, the
remembrance of all this come like a
holy calm over his heart, and he then
weeps that be lias ofhiuded her, or h?
rejoices that he has li-tcr.ed to her d:s
intercsten an I gentle admonition.
A gent'eman living in the Fourth Dis
trict, renowned for charity, says no beg
jrar can go away from his gates unsatis
tied ; they can always "get a bite.'' He
keeps a dog tied loose.
A clergyman in New York, a few days
since, explained that "science must stop,
or religion cannot go on." The New
York A 1 licit iter suggests that he step,
and allow some wiser teacher to occupy
the pulpit.
Mr. Bergh has done great good in
stopping much of the cruelty that hu
n;an brutes inflict on their dumb name
