A MATRIMONIAL HINT.-We remem-
Der somewhere to have read story Of a
youth, who, hesitating in his choice be-
tween two young ladies, by both OF
whom he was beloved, was brought to a
decision by means of rose. It hap
pened one day as all three were wan
dering in a garden, that one of the girls,
in attempting to pluck new-blown
rose. wounded her finger with thorn.
1t bled freely. and applying the petals of
q white rose to the wound, she said, II
am a second Venus-I have dyed the
white rose red." At that moment they
heard scream, and fearing the other la :
dy who had loitered behind, had met with
an accident, FASTENED back to assist her.
The fair ones scream had been called
forth by no worse accident than had
befallen her companion. She had an
grily thrown away the offending flower
and made such pertinacious and fretful
la me nations over her wounded finger
that the youth, after little reflection.
resolved on a speedy union with the
least handsome but more amiable OF the
two friends. Happy would it be for
many kind-hearted woman, did she
know by what seeming trifles the affec-
ton of those whom she loves may be
confirmed or alienated forever.-Lifer-

BEHAVIOUR IN CoMPANY.-On this
subjec. Leigh Richmond gives the fol-
lowing excellent advice to his daugh-
ters:
Be cheerful. but not gigglers. Be Sc
rious but not dull. Be communicative
but not forward. Be kind but not servile.
Beware of silly, thoughtless speeches ;
although you may forget them, others
will not. Remember Gods eye is in
every place, and his ear in every COM
pany. Beware Of levity and familiarity
with young men I; a modest reserve
without affectation is the only safe path
Court and encourge serious conversation
with those who are truly serious and
conversible, and do not 60 into valua.
BILE company without endeavoring to i'm
prove by the intercourse permitted by
you, Nothing is more unbecoming. when
one part of the company is engaged in
profita BILE and interesting conversation,
than that another part should be ,rifling,
and talking comparative nonsense to
each other.

IISome French savans have called a
meeting of philologists from the different
countries Of Europe, to be held at Paris
some time during the ensuing month, to
devise means for adopting a universal
language.
While the philosophers are disputing,
the two most energetic, practical and ad-
venturous nations on the earth, England
and America, are rapidly establishing
their own as the universal language
England in Europe, Asia and Australia,
and the United States on the great Wes-
tern Continent, are spreading far and
wide that tongue, which, by the confess
sion Of great German philologist, is the
noblest now spoken by man. Yes, the
English and American language is to be
the universal one-that language, the lit
erature of which probably contains more
of the spirit Of Freedom and of True
Religion, than all other literatures put
together.

IIThe following recipe WIS know to be
good in all diseases Of the mucous mem
brane, and would recommend it to all,
especially to our country friends, where
there is SO much delay in getting ply
sioian. 1t is ready medicine, and ca
silly prepared and we should think it
would prove sure cure if tried in sea-
son:
Cure ren DIsENrERY.-The follow
ing is translation Of recipe for the cure
of this complaint, which was published
by the physicians of Spain in the Ga
zettes of Madrid during 1910:
"Prepare draught Of Albumen, By
taking the whites of forty eggs or more
and after whipping them well, swceter
the same if necessary, with small por.
ton Of the best double-refned sugar
Let the patient drink large quantities Of
this repeatedly, in so much as to fiji
his stomach, administering oysters o
the same as often as possible. The pa,
tlent must maintain total abstinence
from diet of any kind. In a few hour.
after, the pains will abate and in "a hours
the disease will disappear if it do not il
will be sure to disappear in % hours
provided the patient repeat the draughts
as usual.
The addition of few drops of Orange
flower water, is highly beneficial.

Family government.


The right management of children, is one Of
the most important and most difficult duties Of
life. A little immortal is placed in the care OF
its parents. It's character, and consequently
its happiness and usefulness viii be greatly af-
fected by their dealings with it. How shall
they manage it SO as best to promote its well
fare? This question often agitates the boz
som of the parent, and no satisfactory answer
is found.
One reason why most parents manage their
children so poorly, is, that they do not stud,
the subject. Who would expect to measure "a
piece of ground, or do sum in arithmetic,
without study? This vastly important subject
needs to be studied and the principles. on
which a family should be managed, need 70 be
established in the mind Of parent, if he wo'd
$50 guide his children as to make them most
happy and useful.
Parents, who read this, ask your attention
to this subject. As you love your childrsn, as
you would have them to prosper and be happy
in your family and afterwards in families of
their own; as you would have joy at their
wel-doing and consequent responsibility and
usefulness in society and as you would have
them to become blessings to others in This life
and be happy in the life to come consider how
you should deal with them in their childhood.
Consider it well. Fix upon some principles
and rules to be observed in your management
of them.
-
What other subject is there more important
to be well studied by you? Win not your
usefulness to the world consist very much in
the right training of your children2 Wheth-
er each of those children shall be greatly use
full, or greatly injurious to his neighborhood
and his country, will be decided in great de.

Tie Time for PRAYER.

When is the time for PRAYER?
xt;tb the first beams that light the morning sky,
ia for the tolls of day thou dost prepare,
Lift up thy thoughts on high:
Commend thy loved ones to His watchful care
\ Morn is the time for prayer!
And in the noontide hour,
worn by toll, or by sad cares opprest,
hen unto God thy spirits sorrow pour,
And He will give thee rest
Thy voice shall reach Him through the field Of air
Noon is the time for prayer!
When the bright sun hath set
Whilst yet eve's glowing colors deck the skies
When with the loved, at home, again thou'st met,
Then let thy prayer arise
Tor those who in thy joys and sorrows shore:
Eve is the time for prayer
And when the stars come forth
khen to the trusting heart sweet hopes are given,
4 nd the deep stiffness of the hour gives birth
To pure, bright dreams of heaven
kneel to thy God-ask strength ife's ills to bear:
Night is the time for prayer
When is the time for prayer2
10 every hour while life is spared to thee
a crowds or Solitude--in joy or care
Thy thoughts should heavenwa1d fee.

Bend thou the knee in prayer!

Be THoRoUGH.-Ifv Won nlant s,,t IN,

Be TnonoueH.-If you plant but one
tree, do it well. IF an orchard. do It
equally well. IF you contemplate put
ting out a large number of trees, YOU
will not lose but gain time by waiting
a year while you prepare the soil BY
deep and frequent working and manur-
ing. One who has not learned by prac-
tee has no conception of the growth and
and vigor of trees in well and ill-prepar-
ground. The advance of the former will
be scarcely checked, and at the end OF
even the first season they will have ad-
ded good quantity of well ripened wood
and look thrifty, full of sap and healthy,
while the latter will be hardly at all
larger than they were when planted, and
appear stunted and unpromising and
this difference is plainly observable for
years. Be thorough-do your work
well, and attempt no more than can be
performed properly.

NIAGARA FALLS AND LAKE ERIE.-
Professor Si,liman, the eminent geologist
discredits the opinion advanced by sonae
that the gradual wearing away of the
rocks of Niagara Falls may possibly re-
suit in draining Lake Erie. In recent
lecture he remarked:
''They will not halt at their present
station, but retreat slowly and surely
about two miles further, where they
will stop again for an unknown period,
and probably for ever, since at this
place the hard limestone will form both
base and top of the falls, and thus stop
the rapid destruction of the rock
Some have thought that they would f.
nally reach Lake Erie, and that then
the lake would be completely drained
Such an event is impossible. At the
point already mentioned the torrent will
gradually wear away the surface Of the
limestone, forming rapid, and thence
forth Niagara will be one Of the lost
wonders of the world"

FIGHT WITH CALIFORNIA LION
we have been favored by Mr.. e. j..
|Greentree, of this city, with the follow
young brother, living at Jacksonville,
encountered and killed large California
lion, one of the most formidable beasts ef
the. mountains Last Monday, while
the comrade Of young Greentree, who is
only nineteen years old, was absent, on
hearing barking and yelling about his
cabin after he had retired, he arose and
discovered that the noise proceeded from
IA butchers shop next door, and was pro-
duced by wild beast. Mr.. Greentree
got up, and procuring light, took his
pistol and sailed forth ; at the same mo-
ment he heard his name called by the
butcher, who begged that the light should
be brought, as the Catoyes were killing
his dog. AS he entered the shop, he
discovered the dog, who is very large
and powerful animal, grappled by an i'm
|mense California lion. On the light APP
lpearing, the monster loo9sned himself
from the grip Of the dog, and seizing a
|piece of beef, made for the door. 1t was
then for the first time that a shot could
be risked. The butcher aimed at his
head, but before he could fire dog out
side had seized the lion by the leg. The
Infatuated beast turned and dispatched
him in an instant, tearing open his bow
els, and laying him dead at the door,

him in the neck. The lion instantly tur-
ned about and sprang toward the butch
er, but ne was met by heavy blow
from an axe in the hands Of young Green
tree, which felled him, and he was then
soon dispatched. The lion was then
measured, and found to be six feet six
inches long from tipto end, and his weight
was near three hundred pounds - Alta

ALI THE DEcENcY The GAINESVILLE
Free Press, is prone to make Pharisee
of itself, as follows:
"There is one feature in Free Democ-
racy that does US good to notice. Every
editor in the party, we believe, advo-
Gates the Maine Liquor Law. Is there
a single one of the old parties of this
State, which does the same ?n
These pharisees thank God that they
are not as other men! Now the truth
is, there is not a paper in the State OPP
posed to Maine Liquor Law and it will
be quite gratuitous in these gentlemen to
attempt q monopoly Of that thunder. 2
