Claudius, the imbecile prince whom

man, "who had been begun but not fin

year, lived apparently unambitious, but

to annex the land of Britain to his own
heritage becau e his object.
It was at the .-me of his fame that
the metamorphosiTof his policy took
place; and his kingdom if the domin

dissension was peace.
It Britain, from its proximity to the mar

of a remonstrance lately presented by
the lintons to the court of, Rome
respecting the protection of some refu
gees from that country who had thither
tied to elude the laws of their own
country, became the subject of his en
terprise.
Eighty years prior to this the first
C3ar had invaded the same state and
spread terror and consternation among
the natives; but this had now subsided,
and another attempt at conquest could
not fail of victory.
Aulus Pintius, an old and efficient
general, was sent to conduct an enter
prise thither; and in the first severe
engagement the Britons were repulsed,
and their ruler, with his whole family,
was made prisoner.

mountain that had of a sudden loomed,
up: and the people being eager to set
that for which the expedition was un
dt'rtakeu, the occasion was celebrate
with great splendor.
The provinces of Cautii, Atrebatit
Regui, and the far-famed Trinobante
were wrested from Britain and tfe
jewels taken to ad jrn the diadem fcf
the Cresars.
Caractacns was sent in shackles to
Rome to be tried for rebellion before
the tribune there.
The pride of Britain was reduced to
serfdom, his rights trampled upon, prop
erty confiscated, power annihilated. An
inglorious conqueror, callous to their
cries for clemency, wa3 holding sway
over the miserable people, and his stan
dard was implanted on their soil.
But the renown of Caractacus had
long preceded him in Gaul, and when
he arrived, captive, the people thronged
to see him.
On the day after his arrival the pre

burned with emotion, in contrast with

Milton's blindness was the result of
overwork and dyspepsia.
One of the most eminent American
divines having, for some time past, been
compelled to forego the pleasure of
reading, has spent thousands of dollars
in value, and lost years of time, in con
sequence of getting up several hours
before day, and studying by artificial
light His eyes never got well.
Multitudes of men and women have
made their eyes weak for life by the to
free use of the eye-sight, reading small
print, and doing fine sew ng. In view
of these things it is well to observe the
following rules in the use of the eyes :
Avoid all sudden changes between
light and darkness.
Xever begin to read, write or sew, for
several minutes after coining from
darkness to a bright light
2s ever read or sew directly in front of
the light or window, or door.
It is best to have the light fall from
above, obliquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep so that, on the first wak
ing, the eyes shall fall on the light of
the window.
Do not use the eye-sight by light so
scant that it requires an effort to dis
criminate. Too much light creates a glare, and
pains and confuses the sight The mo
merit you are sensible of an effort to
distinguish, that mement cease, and
take a walk or drive.
As the sky is blue and the earth green,
it would seem that the ceiling should
be a blueish tinge ; the carpet green, and
the walls of some mellow tint.

your eyes, mat moment cease

Prerequsities of Success.
Integrity of character and truth in
the inner man are the prerequisites of
success in any calling, and especially so
in that of the merchant These are at
tributes which never fail to command
respect and win admiration. No onr
fails to appreciate them, and if they
"do not pay" in the vulgar sense of the
phrase, they bring an amount of satis
faction and peace to the owner that all
the wealth of Oo?3us could not yield.
There is no better stock in trade than
these principles ; no c.ipital goes so far
or pays so well, or is so exempt from
bankruptcy and loss. When known
they give credit and confidence, and in
the hardest of times will honor your
paper in bank. They give you an un
limited capital to do imsiness upon, and
everybody will endorse your paper,
and the general faith of mankind will
be your gauranty that you will not fail
Let every young man, upjn commenc
ing business, look well to these indis
pensable elements of success, and de
fend them as he would the apple of his
eye. If inattentive and reckless here,
he will imperil everthing. Bankruptcy
in character is seldom repaired in an
ordinary lifetime. A man may suffer
in reputation and recover; not so the
man who suffers in character. lie
just and truthful. Let these be the
ruling aud predominating principles of
your life, and the reward will be certain,
either in the happiness they bring to
your own bosom, or the success which
will attend you upon all your business
operations in life, or both.
The 3Iicroscope.
In a lateaddnss by Oliver Wendell
Holmes, he spoke of the progress of
microscopy. "To those of my genera
tion," he began, "this modem world,
which most of you take as a matter of
course, it being the only condition of
things of which you have had experi
ence, is a perpetual source of wonder
a standing miracle. Science and art
have in our time so changed the aspect
of svery day life, that one of a certain
age mieht well believe himself on an
other planet or in another stage of ex
istence. The wand of Pometheus is in
our match-boxes; the rock of Horeb
gushes forth in our' dressing rooms:
the carpet of Arabian story is spread
in our Pullman car; our words flash
from continent to continent ; our very
accents are transm tted from city to
city the elements of forming worlds
are analyzed in our laboratories; and,
most wondeiful and significant of all,
the despotic reign of tradition receiveu
its death blow when the angel of anaes
thesia lift jd from womanhood the worst
terrors of the primal malediction."
Throughout the address there were oc
casional bits of humor and philosophy,
which sounded as if they might have
been dropped by the Professor at tl e
breakfast table. Here is one which,
though without any peculiar connection
with microscopy, needs no apology for
its amwaranee here. After telline how

Besides, here is something n
every one of us which we hate; a kind

us with an .dea of our superiority, and
our best self rather enjoys the h .inilia

Another Evangeline
The story of Evangeline is related
with wonderful fidelity in all its details
in the fxpenence of a young French
girl, a resident of Marseilles. She was
engaged toa sailor, to whom she was to
be married on his ieturn from a voyage
to New York. He did not return, and
after a year she got a birth as steward
ess' assistant on one of the Havre
steamers, to come here in seaichof him.
On the passage, a rich American lady
became interested in her story, and re
solved to help her to find out her lover.
In Xew York she learned that he had
gone to Canada. For months she trav
eled about the Dominion, sometimes
close on his track, and again losing
every clue as to his whereabouts. She
returned to Xew York, and one day,
while standing at a Broadway crossing
waiting her turn to get across, she saw
the object of her long search on the
other side. She shrieked his name, and
ran into the middle of the street, but a
policeman caught her and saved her
from the wheels of a string of vehicles.
4 Angel of God there was none," and she
never again saw the Gabriel she had so
long sought and nearly found. She
learned then that he had sailed for San
Francisco, and she went overland to
California to meet him. Arrived on the
Pacific coast, she found that her lover
had fallen overboard just outside the
Heads and been drowned. Meanwhile,
the body of a young man dressed in
sailor's clothes was cast ashore on the
beach, carried to the Coroner's otlice,
and, not being identified, was interred
in the public cemetery. A water-sodden
pocket-book was tiken from the dead
man, which contained only a few let
ters written in French unaddressed.
The giil hearing of this, went to the
Coronet's ollice and found that the let
ters were hers. The waves had tardily
and partially recompensed her devoted
search, and she was able to find the
grave of her lover. New York World.
"Say, mister," said a small boy to one
of the assistants at the public library f
"I can't find the books I want to git in

'em for me." "What work do you w ish

Masher, or the Gory Galoot of the Gal

-Well, I'd like 'Ked-headed Ralph, the
Uanger of the Roaring Ilialto.'" "We

The Cancer Hospital.
Calling upon Dr. F. L. Pond a few davs
since, we found that gentleman, with Dr. Gale.
the .Matron and nurses all busv. as ' lU
their efforts for the relief of -".aenni: humau
Uy, and the endeavor to render one and all of
th'eir patient as comfortable and contented
as possible under the circum.-Unces. The
establishment is one of the quietest retreat.
imainnable, beinir admirably conducted in all
it detail.-, and its tasteful funihimrs and
pleasant in-ounds sriveit rather the appearance
of a spacious country residence than a place

like retirement cecms to pervade, w hich mu-t
be ieculiarly srratlfymi: to the majontv uf
patients, many of "whom are separated by
hundreds of "miles from home and friends.
and perhaps thi. is one secret of the wonder
ful success which attends Dr. Pond in his
treatment of the most desperate caes of
cancer.
The doctor recently indulged in a brief
! respite from hi- labors, taking occasion to
pay his Eastern friends a ayins; visit, and on
his return trip speut a ni:;ht at the residence
of Mr. J. M. Littel, at Newark. N. .1., where

damrerous phase f the disease. And w e have
had the opportunity of perusinir scores of let
ters from other patient expressive of the
deepest irratitude for their cure by Dr. Pond
when all other hopes had failed them.
A moil!; the more prominent caes now un

we may mention the follow inir:
Mrs'.J. Mos.-o, of Port Howard, Wiconsin,
has been frightfully atlhcted, the cancer beini:
located in the center of her face, entirely dt
stroyini: the nose, and renderini: her complete

been repeatedly treated by Chicago and other

cruel agony, when all others had abandoned

have been brought back "to life and health
after hope had hung in the balance during
month and years of intense suffering.
Another great sufferer i Mrs. W. W. Mont

Another fearful case of internal cancer i
that of Mrs. Hurritt. of Kockford. 111. who

One of the worst, if not the worst case in
the hospital at the present time is that of Mr.
lames Smith, of Lake Shore, Michigan. Hi
lower jaw is entirely gone, lone and all, aud
vet the hope is indulged of saving the suffer
er's life.
The hospital is filled with patients In all
stages of this terrible disease, among whom
we lind person- hailing from various jiolnts in
Missouri. Kentucky. Virginia. ( olorado. Ne
bra-ka, Minnesota," New York, Vermont, New
Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa and
Wi-consin. They come and go almo-t daily
come with scarce'a ray of hope that their Par
ticular case can be successfully treated, and
in a few week.- the great majority depart for
their home with a new lease of life, f-eed
from the frightful incubus which has preyed
alike upon ImmIv and mind, aud considering
their restoration to health as little le.s than
miraculous. We are more than ever satistied
that h few hours spent among the patients at
this institution must convince any unpreju
diced person that Dr. Pond Is doing all and
even more than he claim in his treatment of
cancers.
