MIND WHAT You SAY.-It is ALWAYS
well to avoid saying anything that is inn
proper, but it is especially so before chill
dren; and here parents are often at fault.
Children have as many ears as grown per.
sons, and they are generally more attets
tive to what is said before them. What
they hear they are very apt to repeat;
and as they have no discretion, and not
sufficient knowledge of the world to dis
guise anything, it is generally found
" that children and fools speak the truth"
See that boys eyes glisten while you are
speaking of neighbor in language that
you would not have repeated He does
not fully understand what you mean, but
he will remember every word and it will
be strange if he does not cause you to
blush by the repetition.
A gentleman was in the habit of call
ing at neighbor's house, and the lady
had always expressed to him much pleasure
in seeing him. One day just after she
had remarked to him her happiness from
his visit, her little boy entered the room,
The gentleman took him on his knee and
asked" are you not glad to see me,
George?" "No, sir, replied the boy.
/" Why not my little man p he continued,
Because mother don't want you to-
come," said George. Here the mother
looked daggers at her little son, and be-
came crimson. But he saw nothing
"Indeed; how doyou know that George
"Because she said Yesterday that she
wished that old bore would not cali again"
The gentleman's hat was soon in requisi-
ton, and he left with the impression,
" Great is the truth, it viii prevail"
Another child looking into the face of
visitor, and being asked what she meant
by it, replied-''I wanted to see if you
had drop in your eye; have heard
mother say you have frequently
A boy once asked his father who it
was that lived next door to him, and
when he heard the name, inquired
if he was not fool No, no, my lit
tie friend, he is not fool, but very
sensible man. But why do you ask the
question ?"' Because" replied the boy,
mother said the other day that you
were next door to a fool-and l wanted
to know who lived next door to you"
Mother sent me-" said little girl to
a neighbor, q to come and ask you to-
take tea with her this evening" did
she say at what time, my dear ?" "No,
ma'am; she only said she would ask you,
and then the thing would be off her mind;
that is all she said"

THE Position OF RUssIA.-The Lon
don Post, received by the City of Wash
ington, has letter from reliable source
sketching the present political position Of
Russia:
g The programme Of the present caDi-
net of Russia, as understand it, is chief
ly occupied by propositions to advance
education and create middle class to
build railways, no doubt for military as
well as civil service This policy is op-
posed chiefly by the old Russian party at
Moscow, and which party is headed by
Menschikoff. The old German party, as
represented by Count Nesselrode and
Count Alderberg, has not much influence.
Whatever may be the results Of the pre-
sent Cars policy, Russia really seems to
be endeavoring to lay the foundation of a
new system of administration quite op-
posed to that in which the Emperor
Nicholas had so much faith.
1.-THE foreign relations of Russia may
be thus resumed. She is on the very
worst terms with Austria, and ON the
very best footing with France. England
is by no means popular, and Russia
threatens to make any alliance hostile to
the interests of Great Britain. There is
ample proof in the communication before
me of Russian activity in Turkey. Here
is a remarkable passage: g 1t is not the
policy of Russia at the present moment
to create any actual revolt in the domin-
ions of the Sultan, but she will not ne
glect any occasion to court popularity
with the Christians of the East. Thus
she will defend the union of the princi-
palities in Paris, in order that her views
may be printed in the protocols which
will be given to the world. Russia is
preparing to absorb Turkey in Europe,
but not with arms" These views come
from one who knows well the position of
affairs and parties at St. Petersburg"

VOICE OF UNsPoKEN WoRDs.-Mr.
Dosh, of the Shasta Courier, is pleased
to say that in writing, "we occasion
ally express a thought in manner and
words that thrill through one, as though
uttered by human voice, and linger upon
memory for days" This faculty is not
peculiarity of ours; many of our profess
sional brethren in the mountains are pos
sessed of it in a like degree. Nearly a
year ago the Courier said: " The clouds
are coming dorm from the North -ohite
wih fear!" The magnitude of the
thought chilled us with amazement-
That little expression was full of the rig
ors of iceland, and of the threatenings of
uprising storms. We have never since
seen cloud rising from behind the nor
thern hills without remembering that
stentorian warning" The CLOUDS ARE
COMING DOWN FROM THE NORTH WHITE
WITH FEAR I" Search the record of all
writer's, living or dead, and you will find
no sentence of more appalling alarm. 1t
reminds one of the watchful mountain
eer shouting from an Alpine crag to the
advancing traveller, warning him that
storms have broken from their arctic
caves, and are rattling their frozen shrouds
among the hill-tops. How great must be
the wrath of septentrion tempests, to
drive forth the gathering vapor, pallid
with fear How sublime the fury of the
storm-god who would tear the frosty viel
from about the secret places of his do
main, and fling the fragments down the
fugitive winds, hoary with terror Trim

How TO START A NEWSPAPER
a man, says the Cincinnati Gazette, who
has the necessary experience in the print
ing business, the necessary capital, { in
a city say s50,00O0 and the necessary
courage to risk losing the whole of it, be-
gin his paper on his own account, work
hard, use economy, be bold and faithful
to his trust, make his paper useful and
acceptable to the public. A paper begun
and conducted on this plan sometimes
will succeed and amply pay its owners for
their outlay and labor. Another plan to
start a paper is on the Grand Consolidated,
Mutual Assistance, Joint Stock plan,
where every man contributing is to get
great deal more than his moneys worth.
Such paper requires four Committees.
One to raise the money; another to spend
it; another to find out where the money
has gone; and fourth to relieve the
Office of debt, by new loans, at the end of
the year, so that it may reach its destiny
in Trustees hands.
