Of a ^ry Inquiring Mind. - ? ;One day-we'' sat in a Car seat on a Southern railroad behind a pale, care* worn lady, who was talking to a little boy.

St. Lours,- Jane 26.?-A telegram from the City of Mexico aays:: Telegraphic communication-, which has been interrupted for several days by the has been restored, and particulars of the terrible disaster on the line of the Mexican Central Railway, particularly at Leon and Silao, aft obtained. During the past ten days the table lands between here and Zacatecas have been visited by unprecedented rains. Every mountain rivulet along the Central Railway for more than 200 miles has been converted [ into a destructive torrent, and the val? leys present the appearance of lakes. Many .cities and towns nave been inun? dated, and Leon and Silao have been {partially destroyed. The houses in this country are almost universelly of adobe, which soon became saturated, and when exposed to the action of the current of the water Bpeedily fill to pieces. At Silao about 325 houses were destroyed, but it does not appear that there was any loss of life, the suffering being princi? pally from exposure and scarcity of food, At Leon, however, the climax of the flood came in the night, and people were crushed or drowned in their falling "houses and in their endeavors fo escape to high ground. The town was in the centre of a lake which had formed about it from the sudden uprising of the river. Estimates of the loss rather increase than diminish -as the investigation pre ceeds. June 20th was the night of st Statement, [ just received, places the number of houses destroyed in Leon at 2,224, and the homeless families at more than 1,000. More than 250 bodies have been recov ered from the ruins, and there a no probability that the number wftl fall I short of 700. A dispattth from El Paso places the f loss far beyond the City of Mexico ad* vices. It says in the flooded district (not including Leon) fifteen hundred lives were lost, and that one thousand bodies have been recovered. Leon is a city of 100,000 inhabitants) and. a large, part of it is in ruins. The Mexican col-' \ lector of customs at Paso del Norte re? ceived an official dispatch stating, that one hundred miles cf the Mexican rail? road is impassable, and that it will, be ten days before the mails get through, and twenty days before freight can be moved. .. ? ? , The Rule of Parties, During the century of our national existence the Democracy held the presi? dency for fifty-two years, the Federalists twelve years, the Whigs twelve years and . the Republicans twenty-four years. Tho Democracy began with Jefferson, who was elected for two terms, followed by 'Madison and Monroe, so that for twenty four years the era of good feeling contin I ued uninterruped. The elections in ? 1824, showed that on trre popular vote the Democracy waa again.successful, but Andrew Jackson not having the necessa? ry majority in the electoral college the I choice devolved qpon the house, of repre senatives, and John Quiucy AdamB, a: Whig, was declared president for the next four years. The ^Democracy avenged the wrong perpetrated, as they alleged, by electing Jackson for two. terms, and he was succeeded by Martin Van Buren, thus giving the Democratic party twelve more conBecutivo years in office. The Whigs followed with the election of Harrison and Tyler, and gave place in 1845 to James K. Polk, by which the I Democracy again came into power. In 1849 Taylor was elected on the Whig ticket, and the Whig candidates in.the two ensuing presidential .elections were beaten by Pierce and Buchanan, giving the Democrats eight more years of official power. The Republicans elected Lincoln twice, Grant twice, followed by Hayes and Garfield, which gave that party twenty j. four consecutive years of authority. ? This, it will be seen, is also the same period of political prosperity that the Democracy enjoyed after it came into existence. The. old Whig party never succeeded in keeping in office for more than one term, while the Democracy, prior to the war, never had its trust limi? ted to a period of four years but once, and that was during Folk's administra? tion, from 1845 to 1849. The Democracy began with twenty four years of continu? ous power. Its next period was twelve years and then it fell off to four years. Its last ante bellum-term lasted from 1853 to 1861, a period of eight years. The Effects of Christianity. The effects of the work of Christ are ever to the unbeliever indisputable and historical. It expelled cruelty; it curbed passion; it-branded suicide; it punished and repressed an execrable infanticide; it drove the shameless impurities of hea? thendom into a congenial darkness. There was hardly a class whose wrongs it did not remedy.- - It rescued the gladiator, it freed the I slave, it protected the captive, it nursed the sick, it sheltered the orphan, it elevated woman, it shrouded as with a halo of sacred innocence the tender years of the child. In every region of life its ameliorating influence was felt. -It elevated poverty from a curse into a beatitude. It ennobled labor from a vulgarity into a dignity and a-duty. It sanctified marriage from little more than burdensome convention into little less than a blesaed sacrament. -It revealed for the first time the angelic beauty and purity of which men had despaired, and of meekness at which they utterly scoffed. It created the very conception of charity, and broadened the limits of its obligations from the narrow circle of a neighborhood to the widest horizons of the race. And while it thus-involved the idea of | humanity as a common brotherhood, even where its tidings were not believed ?all over the world, wherever its tidings were believed, it cleansed the life and elevated the soul of each individual man. ^.nd in all lands where it has molded the characters of its true believers, it has created hearts so pure, and lives so peace? ful, and homes bo sweet, that it might seem as though those angels who had heralded its advent bad also whispered to every despairing and depressed sufferer among the sons of men, "Though you have lain among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold."?Dr. Farrar'8 Life of Christ. ?

Well, be your own master, and Bit down and have an earnest and plain talk with yourself. Ask yourself who yottaro, what you have been doing, what you are, ' what you are doing now, ano" what you propose or-eipect to 'do hefbaher. Aak yourself what you have done to make the world wifler, or better, or happier ? Try to ascertain whether you have done the world good or done it harm, see if you j have been of. any real service to man? kind, and how. What are you worth to the world in which you live? What great enterprise for tbe promotion of human interest would suffer by your death ? How many would miss you, or care whether yon lived or. died ? You are one of fourteen hundred millions of I human beings on earth. How much and What sort of influence have you exercised on others ? or have you or do you exer? cise influence worth notice at all? Yon are your own master. Does the master try to be a man, or is he content to be a mere Cipher or 0 in society? Has he sufficient self respect to keep himself] above aU that is 'coarse, low, vulgar and bad? Does he always speak the truth? never use obscene or profane language? never do a mean thing? Is he always regardful of age, respectful to equals, and kind to inferiors? Does he labor earn? estly to improve his mind, his morals and his manners; or, is he carelessj idle and indifferent to such things? Does he apanfl-ranoh-'time nn'the-~ooapaiiy~'?Tj idlers?in smoking, drinking and foolish talking? If so, tell him?that master of I yours?he is on the wrong _ tfatfc, ahd if] he does not switch, himself off there is surely & -crash ahead,* and no one to save the pieces, and when it comes tbe verdict of the people will be "served him right." He might have known it wonld come. He lived. for it and be has it> "Yon are your own ?master." Bettet watch that master very closely?see that he forma no bad habits, beeps but of bad company* uses bo Improper language, is always engaged in some honest and use? ful pursuit, lives honestly; truthfully land usefully., If these and like things are atten? ded to, then and then only, may yon expect to be of any real service to the generation and age in which yon live. Remember there will be many obstacles to overcome, many difficulties to be en- J countered, many temptations to be resis? ted, and many hard struggles between inclination and duty, so that yon will have to put down all the will force yon can possibly command, bnt choose the right in all things and stick to it, and all will end well. It requires continued and earnest effort to be a true man, true in in every sense of the word, and yet every man may be a true man if he will.

This is a question of some interest, for a house fly is horn fully grown and of mature'siie, and there are ho little flies of the same species, the small Ohes occasionally observed being different in hind from the large ones. The house fly does not bite or pierce the skin, but yathere its food by a comb or rake or a brush-lite to?g?e, with which It is able to scrape the varnish from cov? ers of books, and it thus tickles the skin of persons npon which it alights to feed upon the perspiration. A fly is a scaven? ger and is a vehicle by which contagious diseases are spread. It poisons Wounds and may carry deadly virus from decay? ing organic matter into food. It retires from the sight at the beginning of winter, but where it goes few persons know. If a search of the house is made they will be found in great numbers secreted in warm places in the roof or between the partitions or floors. Last winter we had occasion tq examine^ .roof and found around the chimney myriads of flies hib? ernating comfortably and sufficiently lively to fly, when disturbed, "in over? powering .clouds." No doubt this is a favorite winter resort for these creatures. ?Wilmington Messenger.

"Then," said Mr. K?, "the skinB I have selected must Buffice this time," and paying for the same he 'departed. In the afternoon of the same day, just be? fore the sailing of the Bedford steamer, the young trader returned for his lot of furs. Throwing the whole pack on his back he left the store, but be had not proceeded a dozen yards when Mr. Astor called his name and bade him come back. "Sir," said Mr. Astor, "you can have credit for any amount of goods you require, provided they are to be found in my store "But," stammered Mr. K?, "but my dear sir, I can give you no city references.

"And one day, in one of my penitent spells, I says to Josiah, says I, 'I ain't the person you thonght I was, am I, Josiah? I ain't half as good and sweet as you thought I'd be.'

Nathan S. Cleveland, 27 E. Canton St., Boston, writes: " My daughter, now 21 years old, was in perfect health until a year ago -when she began to complain of fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness,' wdjgestion, and loss of appetite. I con? cluded that all her complaints originated in impure blood, and induced her to take Ay er s Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon restored her blood-making organs to healthy action, and in due time reestab? lished her former health.
