From "The Reprinted Pieces" ol Chnrles plokens. Bo you want to'try ab experiment to-day?a helpful, sincere and gentle experiment. All right. If you have a son or a daughter; if you have a brother or sister; if you have neither, take up this paper and read aloud Dickon's matchless prose poem, which is printed herewith. If you have a home gather your family and friends about you and read it to them. If you have no home, get a sympathetic friend or so in your bachelor's room this evening and read it to them. Wherever Jou read and to whomsoever, it will be the est sermon either you or they will hear on this blessed day I There was once a child, and he strolled about a good deahana thought of a number of things. He had a sister, who was a child, too, and his constant com? panion. These two used to wonder all day long. They wondered at the- beauty of the flowers; they wondered at the height and blueness of the sky; they, wondered at the depth of the bright wa? ter ; they wondered at the goodness and the power of God, who made the lovely world. They Used to say to one another, sometimes, supposing all the children upon earth were to die, would the flowers and the water, and the sky be sorry? They believed they would be sorry. For said they, the buds are the children of the flowers, and the little playful streams that gambol down the hill-sides are the children of the water; and the.smallest bright specks playing at hide and seek in the sky all night must surely be the children of the stars; and they would all be grieved to see their playmates, the children of men, no more. There was one clear, shining star that used to come out in ths sky before the rest, near the church spire, above the graves. It was larger and more beautiful, they thought, than all the others, and every night.they watched for it, standing band in hand at a window. Whoever Baw it first cried out, "1 see the star." And often they cried out both together knowing so well when it would rise, and where. So they grew to be such frienda with it, that, before-lying down in their beds', they always looked out once again, to bid it good night; and when they were turning round to sleep, they used to say, "God bless the star 1" .But while she was still very young, oh, very, very young, the sister drooped, and came to be so very weak that she could no longer stand in the window at night; and then the child looking sadly out by himself, and when he saw the star, turn? ed round and said to the patient pale face on the bed, "I see the star'"and then a smile would come upon the face, and a little weak Voice used to Say, "God bless my brother and the star 1" . And bo the time came, all too soon I when- the "child looked out alone, and when there was no face on the bed; and When there was a little grave among the graves, not there before, and when the star made long rays down towards him, as he saw it through his tears, "Now, these rays were so bright and they seemed to make such a shining way from earth to heaven, that when the child went to his solitary bed, he dream? ed about the star ; and dreamed that, lying where he was, he eaw a train of people taken up that sparkling road by angels. And the star, opening, showed him a great world of light where many more such angels waited to receive them. " All those angels, who were waiting," turned their beaming eyes upon the peo? ple who were carried up into the.star; and some came out from the long rows in which they stood, and fell upon the peopled necks, and kissed them tenderly and went away with them down avenues of light, and were eo happy in their company that lying in his bed he wept for joy. . ; ? . But, there were many angels who did not go with them, and.among them one he knew. The . patient face that once had lain upon the bed was glorified and radiant, but his heart found out his sister among all the host. His sister's angel lingered near the entrance of the star, and said to the leader among those who had brought the people thiiher: "Is my brother come ?" " And he said "No." She was turning hopefully away when the child stretched out his arms, and cried, "0, sister, I am here I Take me ! and then she turned her beaming eyes upon him, and it was night; and the star was shining in the room, making long rays down towards him as he saw it through his tears. From that hour forth, the child looked out upon star ?s on the home be. was to go to, when his time should come; and be thought that be did not belong.to the earth alone, but to the star, too, because of his sister's angel gone before. There was a baby born to be a brother to'the child; and while be was bo little that he never yet had spoken a word, be Btretched hie tiny form out on his bed, and died. Again the child dreamed of the open star, and of the company of-angels, and train of people, and the rows of angels with their beaming eyed all turned upon tboab people's faces. . Said his sister's augel to the leader: "Is my brother come?" And he said. "Not that one but anolh er." As the child beheld his brother's angel in her arms he cried, "0 sister, I sm here!. Take me!" And she turned and smiled .upon him, and the star was shining. He grew to be a young man, and waa busy at bis books when an old servant came to him and said: . "Thy mother is no more. I bring her blessing on her darling son !" Again at night he saw the stars, and all that former company. Said bis sis? ter's angel to the leader: "Is my brother come ?" And he said "Tby mother 1" A mighty cry of joy went forth through all the stars, because the mother' was re united to her two children. And he stretched out his arms and cried, "0, mother, sister and brother, I. am here! Take mei" And tbey answered him, "Not'yet," and the star was shining. He grew to be a man, wboae hair was turning gray, and be was sitting in bis chair by his fireside, heavy with grief, and with his face bedewed with team, when the star opened once again. Said bis sister's angel to the lrader: "Is my brother come* ?" And be said, "Nay, but his maiden daughter." And the mau wbo had seen the child flaw his daughter nevtly lost to him, a celestial creature among those three, and he said, "My daughter's bead is on my Bister's bosom, and her arm is around my mothers neck, and at her feet there is the baby of old time, and I can bear the parting from her, God be praised !" And the star was shining. Thus the child came to be an old man, and his once smooth face was wrinkled, and his steps were slow and feeble, and his back was bent. And one night as he lay upon his bed, bis children standing round, he cried, as he had cried so long ago: "I see the star!" They whispered one another, "He is dying." And he said, "I am. My age is falling from me like a garment, and I move towards the star as a child. And 0, my father, now I thank Thee that it has so often opened,.to receive those dear ones wbo await me!" And the star was shining ; and it shines upon his grave. Syrup or Figs Is Nature's own true laxative.

For sale by Simpson, Reid & Co., LANTERNS AND LAMPS. From the Ancients'Torches to the B?rners of Jlodern Days. Lanterns are an ancient inbtihltlon. You remember that Diogenes used one in his eccentric efforts to discover some? thing he did not believe in. The lanterns of the Greek and Romans contained an oil lamp. Its sides were made of thin layers of horn, waxed parchment, linen or bladder. Glass lanterns were used in England as early as 705. They were expensive, however, and 1,000 years later the tin lantern was chiefly in use among the poor people. The Chinese excel in the manufacture of lanterns, j They have used them for ages. Some of their mandarins have them built at a cost of thousand of dollars each, The word built is not Out of place here, for these lanterns are twenty to thirty feet high and contain hundreds of candles. Their sides are often of rish colored silk. On January 16 of. each year they cele? brate the "feast of the lanterns." Why ? Oh, it's a way they have?they are heathens, you know. No; candles are hot the most primi? tive form of light. In Homer's time torches were used, even in the palaces of the wealthy. Rush lights, early in nse, were rushes dipped iu grease, pitch or wax. Lamp comes from a Greek word?lampas. The candlen of Scripture are supposed to have been lamps in which olive was burned. The earliest lamps were shallow vessels of terra cotta, either round or oblong in shape. There. was a small opening in the top in which the oil was poured; at the Bide was a handle, and opposite a nozzle through which the wick protruded. The form of lamp is often represented in pictures. Many of them were ornamented with representations of war scenes and chariot races. Bronze lamps have been discov? ered of such beauty as to entitle them to rank among the choicest specimens of ancient arts. In the acropolis at Athens, according to a historian, was a golden lamp, large enough so that when filled it would burn night and day for a year. Above It was a bronze palm tree to carry off its fumes and act as a reflector. That was the kind of a lamp to have. Speaking of primitive lamps, some are still to be found in the country districts. "While in West Virginia recently," said a. traveling.man, "I saw one that was primitive enough. A-saucer was filled with grewe, and over the edge of it hnng a lighted wick. It spluttered some, but made enough light to render the darkness visible, and its heat was sufficient to light the pipes of the family. It was more used for that purpose than any other, it appeared to me, though it was the only light in the house. There are many people in the mountain regions whose only lights are tallow dips. A form of the anciept Greek lamp is still in use among the Canadian French. In the remote districts of the land the cruiRie, ? similar lamp, is sometimes found. Olive oil, ground nut oil, poppy oil or cither vegetable oils are used in various districts of the world. In the tropical regions cocoanut oil is used in lamps. The trade of candle making, usually combined with that of so?p boil? ing, was once' an important one. Frank? lin worked at it until he ran away. The chandler made wicks, molded and dipped his candles until driven out of business by the general adoption of whale oil as an ilium in ant early in the present century. Improved lamps were introduced about a century ago. A Frenchman named Argand, in 1754, invented a burner with two concentric tubes, the inner one open for a current to pass through and the outer one containing the wick. He had a metal chimney to make it draw and carry off the smoke. Somebody Boon found ont that a glass chlmny was batter for that purpose. Argand's lamp, va riously modified and improved, is the parent of all the best modern lamps. Various substitutes for whale oil were tried during the past century, but none came into general use until coal oil wbb introduced. - It was first made from cannel coal, and that is the way it got its name.'- ? The general development of the petroleum region in Pennsylvania, which began in 1858-60, soon destroyed the manufacture of coal oil, just as it was getting to be a profitable industry. Many improvements in' lamps followed this discovery. But petroleum is not a .new thing?neither is natural gas. Oil was found in a spring oh Zacyuthus or Zant, one of the Ionian islands, 2,000 years ago, and was burned in lamps in Sicily at an early age. It was known to the Indians and to the western pioneers of America, but somebody had to discov? er how to get it in quantities and use it before the knowledge' became any value to the world.? PitUburg LUpatch. Honor in Trade, ?A year or two ago an old French merchant died, wbo, Jbr half a century, had carried on a large retail business in New York, Philadelphia, and one <-r two Southern cities with marked success. His methods were peculiar. No clerk or. salesman was permitted to urge or recommend any goods offered for sale. He was to show the article, and state the price. The customer thus bought at bis own risk. The merchant did not cheat, but if the buyer cheated himself be did not interpose. Another merchant, a Scotchman, iu.a Virginia city pursued a still more unu-u al plan. He. would warn an ignorant customer if the cloth hhe was about to' buy was not made of the best material, or if the chintz would fade, or if the bni was so longer quite fashionable. His maxim was that the tradesman and customer should be friends, not antagonists trying to overreach each other. In consequence many of his goods remained unsold. But his* customer-, - finding that they could place absolute reliance on bis word, crowded into his shop, and bought honest goods at an honest profit. "The so called 'systems of trade,'" says a recent writer, "are based upon dishonesty. The grocer who.sells adul? terated sugar or vitriol vinegar at the same rates as the pure articles; the butcher who sends inferior meat to the ignorant housekeeper; the clerk wbo urges unsalable articles at higb prices on country buyers are breaking the lay, 'Thou sbalt not steal,' as much as the pick pocket who pillers the purse." A convict at one of our State prisons lately wrote to the warden, "I waH sen? tenced for stealing. I am now employ? ed in making shoes, and am ordered to insert two sheets of thick paper in the soles, and to color them to imitate leather. Is this the way in which you reform theives ?" In Norway, it is said, some travelers last summer inadvertantly left a gold beaded umbrella hanging on a tree beside a much frequented road, and found it untouched after two days. Every man, woman and child who pushed that way helped to earn this noble char? acter for the whole district.* Every boy who goes into trade, and firmly carries out the pure, striut princi? ples of honesty which be finds iu his Bible, will not only live a uoble life, but will help to earn for America a character for uprightness and honor which her enemies lately have hoped she would lose. ? The arrival of of several genuine Chinese ladies, wives of Chinese merchants, within the past few days, has created a sensation iu Chinese circles in New York city. There are now over a dozen Chinese women in New York, and they form quite an interesting little social circle all to themselves. But they are never allowfd to be outdoors, and it is said that Mrs. Lena Ah Cham, wife of a member of the firm of the Wo Kee company, although she has been in that city for over four years, and is the mother of two children, has not been out of her rooms once.

Probably the moat i-i I-resting character hereabouts is a negro man who was one of thb cargo of the "Wnndcrer-" the hist slave ship to bring to this country a load of captives from Africa. Lucius Williams, as he was christened by one of the young ladies of the family into which he was soldi or "Umwalla," as ho was called in Africa, lives in a amail hut on the out? skirts of Hamburg, across the river from here. Since freedom be has earned a livelihood working gardens, sawing wood1 and whitewashing. He was a little sur? prised wheu asked about bis early life, but talks well.once be bus begun, requir? ing tp be questioned frequently, however As Umwalla, he was born in Guinea, according to his story, not far from Libe ria. One day when he was about ten years of age, ho was sett to his aunt's to carry her some pinders Id plant. When he was going through the woods two strange black men seised him and bound bis hands. He cried terribly and they gagged him. They sold him to a native, who took him to Liberia. There, for the first time in his life, he saw a white man, and be was terribiy. 1'rigblened at him. Among his people there were no Sun days. Some of the men of his tribe had two wives abd some had three. It was death to any one Id show any desigus on the wife of a neighbor. Umwalla waB then taken to the Wan derer, where a large number of captives had already been:. tored away in the hold. The passage over wasfivnghs with untold terrors to the young ravage. A storm was encountered, and for days the hold was fastened up, and numbers of the negroes died from sickness caused by the foul air. There were a number of fero? cious men among the cargo wbo had to be kept in chains. When the Wanderer approached the South Carolina coast she was sighted by a government beat and given chase. During the night f>he dropped anchor off PocatalSgo, and the cargo of negro men and women was debarked. Umwalla, or as he was soon afterwards called, Lucius was taken to a Carolina plantation near Beech Island, and put to work there. Lucius i3 very fond of the "white folks," as he styles the family of his old master and mistress, and frequently calls to see them?walking seneral miles to do bo. The style of punishment followed among his tribe was to bre-ik the Culprit's neck by a sudden wrench from a forked stick. Lucius tells, in his quaint way the interesting features of stevrry. No negro woman was permitted, however gorgeous her toilet otherwise, to wear a veil or gloveB. Negro men, were neither per? mitted to carry a walking cane nor smoke a cigar on the streets. They could not reroain'away from their quarters after 9 o'clock at night without a permit from their master. Lucius says he is glad he was brought to this country, as he has learned the way to save bis soul. His ancestors took no account of Sundays. Locius has suffered greatly from the cold; He says many of those who came over with him died of contllmption. He is not lone.-omc here, fur on a neighboring plantation?Caps.

They do not attempt to impart tha language to their children, he says and of course all vestiges of it, save what they have engrafted on the southern patois, mu.it soon die out. He was asked about the amusement of his folks at home, and said the dancing here was very much like in Africa, only there tbey hod w?r dance?, which were marches with chanting. He rays some of the songs surg by tb-.i field bands (the air) are frefy much like thoee of his people, ..cd when he hears several voices singing together one of those wild, weird refrains his thoughts are carried across the ocean to his borne among the primi? tive scene of his youth, Lucius was delighted with the picture of himself, and opened, bis eyes in amazement at the crude executions of the artist, who caught fl rather good likeness of him while he was tuiking, showing how he wears his goatee, platted after his African ancestors' custom.?Augusta Chronicle.

Prevent a quarrel with your child by turning his attention to something differ? ent. Especially is this trticacious if the object is moving and pretty. It is a foolish practice for parents or servants to allow children to beat the table or chair against which the child fell or hurt itself, as it develops revenge fulness. If a child is disposed to be greedy at his meals, turn bis atrenlim to the sources from whence his food came, or let him give some of his food to the cat 01 dog. Quite the contrary course must be pursued if the child is excitable or easily directed.?From Woman. He Had a Deck of Cards. Marietta, Ga., October 3.?A very amusing incident happened at the recent Sam .Jones tabernacle meeting at Car tersville. One of the moot devout min? isters of North Georgia, who resides in a town not a thousand miles from Cartera ville, left home to spend a day or two at these meetings. The sudden cool weather that came about during the meetings caused overcoats to become a great requisite. The hero of 'bis amusing incident did not have his overcoat along, but the family whom he was stopping with kindly tendered him the use of one which answered ev?ry purpose until the stand was reached, and .after securing a seat up near the pulpit :hr minister pro? ceeded to take off hid overcoat, and while doing bo a deck of cards fell from a side pocket as he was folding the coat to hang on the back of his seat. To Bee this devout minister, who for many years has been engaged in making such a crusade against cards, reaching after a ten spot here and a jack of fapaden ?jpre and hid? ing them away as fast as he could get them back into his pocket certainly cre? ated a ripple among those seated near him. A confiding friend of the minister beard him say that in all his life be was never placed in such an embarrassing position, nnd in the future he will cer? tainly examine the pockets of all over? coats he borrows hefore entering church. ?

We want a religion that bears heavily, not only on "the exceeding siniulnessof tin," but on the exceeding rascality of ?ying and stealing. A religion that ban? ishes small measures from the counters, ^mall baskets from the stalls, pebbles from the cotton bags, clay from the paper, sand from the sugar, chickory from the coffee, alum from the bread, and water from the milk cans. The religion that.is to save the world will not put all the big strawberries at the top and ail the little ouea at the bottom. It will not make one-half a pair of oboes of good leather, so that the first shall redound to the maker's credit, and the eecond to his cash. It will not put Jouvin's stamp on Jenkin's kid gloves; or make Paris bonnets in the back room of a Boston milliner whop; nor let a piece of velvet that professes to mensure twelve yard* come to f?n untimely end in the tenth, nor a spool of sawing silk that vouches fur twenty yards be nipped in the bud at fourteen and a half; nor al! wool delaines and all linen handker? chiefs be amalgamated with clandestine cotton ; nor coats made of old rags press? ed together bo Fold to the uususpecting public for real broadcloth. It does not put bricks five dollars a thousand into chimney it contracts to build with seven dollar material; nur smuggle while pine into floors that have paid for hard pine; vor leave yawning oaks in cloeets where boards ought to join; nor daub the ceiling that ought to be smoothly plas? tered ; nor make windows blinda of slats that cannot *tntid the wiod, and paint that cannot Ktand she sun, and fasten? ings that may be looked at, but on no account touched. The religion that is going to sanctify the world pays its debts. It does not consider that forty cents returned from one hundred cents given is according to the Gospel though it may be according to law.

"We live in such a hurry," be said, answering his own question. "All we think of is getting money in this country. In the old coun? try they think of spending it. I mean that we are reckless of ho w the money goes after we get it, and so we are extravagant and need more money and strive harder to get it, and get old young. I believe there are more'lunatics in this State of New York with its five and a half millions than in all Prance with its thirty seven millions, tn France a man regulates his spending. He has so much income. He makes it go as far as it will, and lives in a regular and methodical fashion on that basis. He doesn't grieve for more, .because he can get comfort out of what be has. But here we are so anxious to make that we neither spend with economy nor get comfort out of what we spend We Waste our strength to get it, and then waste what we.gain, for we don't get the good of it." Hunting With Bogs. All hounds, save the greyhound, run entirely by scent. When they come upon tne faint scent of a track they will work along it until it grows fresher and then begin to bay or "give tongue." There is always a correspondence between the baying and the trail. An experien ced hunter can tell by the baying not only where the dog is, but by the frequency and confidence -of the sound, how fresh the trail is?that is how close upon his game the dog is. AH hunted animals have a way of doubling, or run? ning in- circles. Hence, if a hunter observes by the baying that his dog is going away from him, be nails patiently, sometimes for minutes, sometimes lor, hours, until the circle is made and he is on the alert for a shot, for the game is probably not many rods in advance of the dog. -. . a) a m* ?

"Did n't Know 'f was Loaded" May do for a stupid boy's excuse; but what can be said for the parent who sees Iiis child languishing daily and fails to recognize the want of a tonic and blood-purifier? Formerly, a course of bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the rule in welUregulated families; but now all intelligent households keep Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which is at once pleasant to the taste, and the most searching and effective blood medicine ever discovered. Kathan 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, indigestion, and loss of appetite. I con? cluded that all her complaints originated in impure blood, and induced her to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon restored her blood-making organs to healthy action, and in due time reestab? lished lier former health.

A lady friend of mine has for several years been troubled with bumbs and pimples on her lace and neck, for which she used various cosmetics in order to remove them and beautify and improve her complexion; but these local applications were only temporary and left her skin in a worse con? dition. I recommended an internal preparation known as Botanic Blood Balm?which I have been using and selling about two years; she used three bottles and nearly all pimples have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth, and her general hcnlth much improved. She expresses herself much gratified, and can recommend it to all who arc thus affected. I Mrs. S. M. Wilson. A BOOK OF WONDERS, FREE.
