ErFEcTs OF NOVEL READISc.-A
whole family. brought to destitution
in England, has had all its misfor-
tunes clearly traced by the authorities
to an ungovcrnablc passion for novel
reading entertained by the wife and
mother. The husband was sober and
industrious, but his wife was indolent
and addicted to reading everything
procurable in the shape of romance.
This led her to utterly neglect her hus-
band, herself, and her eight children.
One daughter, in despair, fled the pa
rental home, and threw herself into
the haunts of vice. Another was
found by the police chained by the legs
to prevent her from following her sis
tcr's example, The house exhibited
the most offensive appearance of filth
and Indulgence. In the midst of this
pollution, privation and poverty. the
cause of it sat reading the latest "sens-
alton work" of the season, and refused
to allow herself to be disturbed in her
entertainment.

Here is letter from wife i'm
Massachusetts, to her husband in
California She don't intend going
through the world with the blues.
my Dear Hsband:-As it is
sometime since You left for California,
| suppose You would be glad to hear
how we are getting along in your
absence. am happy to say that we
are enjoying very good health on the
whole. Just at present two Of the
boys have got the small pox. Aman-
da Jane has got the typhus fever
Betsey is down with the measles.
Samuel got hooked by a cow the other
day, and little Peter has Just chopped
off three Of his fingers with a hatchct.
II is mercy that he didn't chop them
all of. With these triaing exccp.
tions, We are all well and getting
along nicely. You needn't be at all
anxious about us. l almost forgot TO
say that Sarah Matilda clopcd last
week with tin pedlcr. Poor girl
She's been waiting for the last .cn
years for a chance, AMI I'm glad she's
got married at last. She needn't have
taken the trouble to elope, though,
for I'm sure / was glad enough to
have her go. She was great eater,
and / find baked beans don't 60 of
near so fast now as they did. The
way that girl would dip into pork
and beans was caution TO the rest OF
the family. The COW took it into her
head yesterday to run away, which
was very fortunate, I'm sure, for the
barn caught fire last night and was
consumed. ! was in hopes the house
would go too, for it's very inconvcni-
ent. but the wind was the wrong way,
so it didn't receive much injury
Some boys broke into the orchard the
other day and stripped all the fruit
trees. l am very glad of it, for il
they hadn't l presume the children
would have made themselves sick by
eating too much fruit. Hoping you
enjoy yourself in California as we'll as
we do at home. / remain your afiec-
tionate WIFE

JIM CLAY-lt is said Mr.. James B.
Clay denies not only that Henry Clay
was the father of the Missouri Com
promise, but also that he was the faith
er of the Tariff Compromise Of 1912.
The Pittsburgh Gazette suggests. with
not less truth than point, that if, in
addition to these corrections Of current
belief. he would convince the world
that Henry Clay was not his father, he
would render an essential service Ia
the reputation Of that illustrious
statesman.-Eoton Register.

SELF FGLoRIrICATIoN, SOCIETY is FULL
oF.-What we most need is individual
application of the great maxims of
morality and justice; minds who, as
Wordsworth happily expresses it.,
'ercct themselves above themselves,
not above their fellow. 1t is a fact
that we are most afraid of ourselves.
We fear to scrutinize our own motives
and acts, and tremblc like child in
the presence OF giant, at self-examin-
alton. To the cowardly. there is al
ways lion in the road leading to the
Inner Temple where every act is tried
by the Holy of Holes. To face our
divincr Self, requires bravery great
er than to dare an Alexandrinc con-
qucst.-Erckonoe.

ward.
But my trials were not over
Some extra washing was needed. So
| called Ellen, and told her that Mary
would require frock and two pairs of
drawers to be washed out, the baby
some slips. and you some pocket hand
kerchiefs. a saucy refusal leaped
from the girls quick tongue, and in
dignant words to me. Patience! pa
tience! whispered a small, still voice.
| stifed, with an effort, my feelings,
restrained my speech, and controlled
my countenance. Very calmly. as to
exterior signs, did / look into Ellen S
face. until she dropped her eye to the
floor in confusion.
You must have forgotten your
SELF | said with some dignity Of
manner, yet without a sign of irrita-
ton. She was humblcd at once; con-
fcssed the wrong, and begged my par
don. ! forgavc her. after reproof, and
she went back to the kitchen, some
thing wiser, think, than when | sum
moned her. The washing required
has been done. and we'll done; and the
girl has seemed all day as il she were
cndeavoring to atone by kindness and
service for that hasty speech. If
mistake not, we were both improved
by the discipline through which we
passed.
"Othcr trials | have had, through
the day. Some of them quite as Sc
we're as the few have mentioned; but
the armor of patience was whole when
the sun went down. Twas able to pos
sess my soul in peace. and the con-
quest of self has made me happier. -
This is my good days work. 1t may
not seem much in your eyes"
Mr.. Barlow did not look or speak

She waited almost minute for his re-
sponse. Then he bent forward sud-
denly, and kissed her, saying as he did
