About twenty years ago | was annoyed by
finding the backs of several rows of books
some in book cases having glazed doors, which
were kept locked, and others on adjoining oper
shelves, frequently widowed. Wiping them
carefully cleaned them only for q time, for fresh
crops of mildew speedily disfgured them again

ways made his own ink, finish off by pouring q
glass Of spirits of wine into the ink jar, in ordel
to prevent its becoming mouldy, lightly WASHED

been a single spot Of mildew on item since tn
spirits Of wine were applied. have used spirit
of wine to prevent mildew with equally goot
effect in other cases.

Stick to your Principles.

A lad drove his teamfou miles to a mill to
get load Of flour to haul to tho canal. When
he arrived at the mill, the miller told him they
had no loading; the mill was out Of repair, but
he would help him to load, so that he might
not lose his half days work which would amount
to one dollar SAID he. & Yon MAY driye aespsa

pay you just the same price for hauling load
Of whiskey that we do for hauling load of
flour"
The lad thought moment and said, 81 don't
know what father will say, but our horses don't
haul whiskey," and SO he wheeled them off, and
drove home an1 told his father.
"Right," said the father, "you've done right,
John. It's money well spent, John. Support
your principles anywhere and everywhere, and
be kind about it, but decided"

influence of Woman.

A Washington correspondent of the Boston
Alliance and Visitor, relates the following anec-
dote of Gen. Houston, Senator in Congress from
Texas
Mr.. Houston was recently asked, at large
darty given by Mr.. Speaker Winthrop, why he
did not attend the usual places Of public amuso-
ment as he had been accustomed to do. His re-
ply was this. Let it be read and remembered
by the mothers and daughters Of America;
Il make it point said the honorable Senator
'never to visit place where my lady il she were
with me, would be unwilling to go. know il
would give her pam as Christian, to attend
such places, and would not go myself where
could not take my wife,
A member of Congress present alluded to bis
own wife, and added that there was mutual
understanding between him and her, that they
should each follow the bent of their own nclina.

Vulgarity.

! We would guard the young against the use of
every word that is not perfectly proper Use no
profane expressions-allude TO no sentence that
will put to the blush the most sensitive. You
know not the tendency of habitually using indie
cent and profane language. 1t may never be
obliterated from your hearts. When you grow
up, you will find at your tongues end, some ex-
preston which you would not use for any money.
1t was one you learned when you was quite
young. BY being careful, you will save yourself
deal of modification and sorrow. Good men
havei been taken sick and become delirious. In
these moments they have used the most vile and
indecent language imaginable. When informed
Of it, after restoration to health, they had no
idea of the pain they had given their friends
and stated that they had learned and repeated
the expressions in childhood, and though years
had passed since they had spoken bad word
the early Impressions had been iudelllbly stamp
FED upon the heart. Think Of this, ye who All
tempted to use improper language, and nevel
disgrace yourselves.

MANS TWO ANGELS.
Careless man goes blindly pressing
Down the winding path Of Time,
Needing not, though Gods pure blessing
Flows with eyerymorning's prime.
Sensual in each thought and feeling,
Spirits are to him but air;
Recks he not, though round him stealing,
They their hottest offerings bear.
EtilI, while On bis souls deap altar
Life's pure fame is smotheIed out,
Seraph watchers never falter, ~
But forever float about,
Two good angels from his cradle,
Twinkle follow where he leads,--
Each one bears mystic table,
For the record of his deeds, .
On his right hand one will listen
For each thought Of holy birth,
And the dove.eyes ever glisten
When Truths blossoms deck the earth.
On his tablet deep he writes it,
And he puts the Fathers seal,
Fixed till Jesus disunites it
In the holy land of veal.
On his left hand stands the other,
Watching for each deed of i'll,
Noting all as did his brother,-
But he waits to seal it still:
Waits till light has gone to heaven,
And the hours of midnight Gomez
Waits to hear the sin forgiven
From the blesl Redeemer's home.
If the sinner kneeling lowly
Cries, " Forgive me gracious Lord"
From the tablet, sure and slowly,
Disappears the black record.
If in guilt and stubborn feeling, tt
He lies down to british sleep,
Forced at length to put the sealing,
Lo! the twain in sorrow weep
Weep that man, in pride rebelling,
Judas-like will go his way,
Till each sin his deep guilt telling,
Meets him in the Judgment Day.
Thoughtless sinner! stop and listen
Ere thy midnight hour be past,
Let'thfne Angels dove eyes glisten,

Extraordinary reason for refusing a fortune.
In the neighborhood of Louvam, Belgium, re-
sides an elderly man, shepherd whose whole
property consists of small hut and two OIL three
acres of land. A short time ago he was notified
by the minister of the interior that brother of
his had died, leaving him fortune of about
100000 The shepherd, however, not little
astonished his friends and relations by refusing
to accept of the legacy for three reasons. l.
he desired no money from brother who
had led wild life, beggared him and his parents
and shortened the life OF the latter. g. NN the
age OF 81 he could not resolve to be metamor-
Iphosed from poor devil into rich man, he
therefore preferred remaining as he was 3
4 Ibe necessary amount Of business attending the
Faeeipt, ETC. Of the legacy, would give him much
aEoube and onxiety; and he did not wish mere
. g. u the sake of his heirs, who would laugh at
