Billiard tournament at the Chemeketa, to
night. It is well known that plants sleep at night;
bat their hours of sleeping are a matter of habit
and may be disturbed artificial ly, just as a cock
may be waked up to crow at untimely hours by
the light of a lantern. A French chemist sug
gested a sensitive plant to an exceedingly try
ing coarse of discipline by completely chang
ing its hours exposing it to a bright light at
night, so as to prevent sloe-p, and putting it in a
dark room during tho daT. The plant appeared
to be much puzzled and disturbed at first. It
opened and closed its leaves irregularly, some
times nodding, in spite of the artificial sun that
shod its beams at midnight, and sometimes
waking up, from the force of habit, to find the
chamber dark in spite of the time a day. Such
are the trammels of use and want. But after an
obvious struggle the plant submitted to the
chaDge, aud changed day into night without
any apparent ill effects.

Inheritors of vast wealth are proverbially
apeud-tbrifts. The golden ore is dug from thu
mine, retineei, and coined, by the labor of otheir
hands aud the sweat of other lirsvs. Likechil
dren playing with an exx.-naivo toy, they Can
form no just estimate of its value. When tho
Uunor weighed it, he cast into the balaaee so
many days of unremitting and fatiguing toil
so many anxious and steeple uiglils, ao much
aelf-dcuial, and so much caro. But the inheritor
into his balanco throws only pleasure. The
one, values it by what it cust him; tho othor,
for what It will purchase). Like tlm prodigal in
the Scripture parable, ho thoughtlessly cxpemU
it to gratify the caprice and cravings of his na
ture. Then comes the last scene the misery,
the remorse, aud the long and wearisome jour
liey back to tho home T frugal industry. But
there are other prodigals. On her favorites onr
bounteous parent, Haturc, has lavished be:
richest treasure health. But thu prodigal
values It lightly, fur it cost him uaught, am
recklessly squanders It iu riotous living. Preif
nt nloaaiiro obscures future want. Soon tho
curtain rises on the last sceue. We see him
bslpless, impoverished tho rich treasures o1
body and mind all lust in misery aud despair.
Boniorsefill Conscience hohls up l liim tho
mirror of memory. In his own reckless follv
i, ne.n-Bives the cause ol bis present pain. Ho
resolvos to return. The journey is long
and tedious, but If ht purtavanngiy toi-
lows tho right road, be will at length sen
the heaven of his hopes in the distance, aud
Nature, seeing her invalid child afar ofl, will
como out to meet him, and receive him baok
with love and blessing. To find tho right road
homeward, the suffering prodigal should read
