Rules for Home Education.

The following rules we commend to all our
patrons and friends for their excellence, brevity
and practical utility. They are worthy being
printed in letters Of gold, and placed in con-
spicuous position in every household 1t is la
mentabIe to contemplate the mischief, misery,
and ruin which are the legitimate fruit of those
deficiencies which are pointed out in the rules
to which we have referred. Let every parent
read, ponder, and inwardy digest.
Unite frmness with gentleness. Let your
children always understand that you mean ex.
actly what you say.
Never promise them anything unless you are
quite sure you can give them what you promise.
If you tell little child to do something show
him how to do it, and see that IT Is done.
Always punish your children for wilfully
disobeying you, but never punish them in an
ger.
Never let them see that they can vex you, or
make you loose your self-conmand.
If they give away to petulence and temper,
wait till they are calm, and then gently reason
with them on the impropriety of their conduct
Remember that little present punishment
when the occasion arises, is much more efectu-
al than the threatening Of greater punishment,
should the fault be renewed.
Never give your children anything because
they cry for it.
On no account allow them to do at one time
what you have forbidden, under the like circum-
stances, at another.
.--NeVer allow Of ta(o-bcaring.
Teach them that that the only sure and easy
way to appear good is to be good.
Accustom them to make their little recitali
with perfect truth.
From your chIldren's earliest infancy, incu
cate the necessity Of instant obedience.
Teach them that self DENIAL, not self indul

curing happiness.

The Fearful Revenge of a Swiss

BILE tragedy, the circumstances of which are as

A beautiful Young girl, named Adelaide
Zwert, was engaged to be married to chamois
hunter, named Carl Bigner, to whom she had
long been tenderly attached. The marriage
day was fixed, but Carl found means to postpone
it, and the year passed away-his promise being
still unfuflled. His evident unwillingness at
length awakened suspicion in the mind of Ade-
laide. She became jealous and distrustful, and
narrowly watched all the movements of her low

place in his heart was filled by another and that
Carl only waited pausable pretext to break
with her altogether.
The young girl vowed reyenge-and fearfully
has she kept her vow.

young druggist, by whom she was passionate

and devotion merted better recompense, she

of course, giving him the slightest hint OF the
use she intended for it. 1t was in appearance
exactly like ordinary wadding, Carl was a
great smoker, and she had often remarked that
sparks from his pipe had burned holes in large

pair of twin daughters, of whom a capital
anecdote is told They both attended the
same school, and not long since one Of them
was called up by the master to reclte a les
son in geography, which she had learned

quite out of patience, was called to another
part Of the room, and Just at that moment
the twin sister sprang 10 the floor, unob-
served, and pushing the delinquent scholar
to her seat, took her place.-The master
proceeded with the questions, which were
answered with degree of promptness and
accuracy which, at the close, drew forth
from him lew words of commentator.

In taking the watch from hs pocket, his sad

again.

The preacher dismounted. The saddle. bags
were taken possession of and no further demand
made, Instantly the preacher began to unbot-
ton his great coat, and to throw 1t off his
shoulders, at the same time asking twill you
have my great coat -
"No," was the reply, "you are generous
man, and we will not take it."
He then addressed them as follows 81 have

"Nor either, said another of them. "Here
ta1e your watch, take your money, take your
saddlebags if we have anything to do with
you the judgement of God will overtake u.s."
So each article was returned. That, howev-

prayer upon them. He knelt down; one of the
robbers knelt with him; one prayed, the other
wept, confessed his sin, said it was the first time
in his life that he had done such thing and it
should be the last. How far he kept his word

Again from our world has the Angel of Death
halfopening fower-bud to Heaven conveyed,
ln its unsuled beauty, to shine in the wreath
That on JSsts' b4sOm is lovingly laid.
Yet moment he rested on shadowy wings,
Ere he casped the fair treasure precious and dear
But scarce 10 heart cheering hope could it bring
For something still whispered, he is lingering near
And soon, ah, how soon from the heavenly blue
Other love-beamlng eye,h fled the soh starry light,
As he stole from her cheek all its roseate hue,
Where he pencilled the lilly so mournfuly white.
Oh, wit Sadness deep Sadness ye gazed the face
or your innocent dead ere they laid her to rest
Beneath The green turf, in the charnel's embrace,
Where in Jesus her slumbers are quiet and best.
And now do ye miss her, at m@n and at eve,
Ye miss those glad tones which your hearts once
begued,
But while for the lost one ye bitterly grieve,
Thlnk an Angel is yours, ''ltis well with the child
And look ye to him who in kindness hath taken
Your jewel, ere sin could its brllancy dim,
In the dark hour of trial. who sweet consolation
Can mpart to tile mourner, oh look unto him.
And altho' now but two may we count them who come
Around you with smiles to make pleasant your hearth,
oh may you at last in your bissful home,
All be gathered with her, who IS no longer of earth,

The Scientific american. referring to the cx.
periments now making to,ransmit parcels through
a tube by eXhausting the air, says:
In 1923, plan was proposed in the Glasgow
Mechanics .Maga-ine, for sending parcels thro'
an air-tight tube, by exhaustng it at one end by
an engine. A few years ago plan was tried
in Frince of working machinery by compressed
air driven through tube two miles long, work.
ed by water wheoI--a cheap power, The
plan was plausible, but failed entirely to pro-
duce the mechanical results anticipated. More
than one atmospheric railroad has been tried in
England on a large scale. They have all fail.
ed To employ compressed air as a mechanical
agent through long tube, is like employing an
exceedingly long belt Or charvo, which is well
known to be mpracicable beyond given length.
For short distances, atmospheric pressure and
exhaustion can be made to work very well, and
in one coal mine in Glasgow, Scotland the prin-
ciple has been very succ cessfully applied in
what is termed Potts Atmospheric Pile Driver.
