HAR1rN WELL DOING.

Every thing is labor just in proportion
as we have to do it by a separate effort
IF apersdn were obliged to do up all his
breathing once week, to eat his food only
at rare intervals or to put on his clothing
simply for "a few days in the year, be would
find them wearisome task. 1T is only
frequency of these acts only breathing every
moment, eating every day and wearing our
clothes literally AIS habit, that keeps them
from being mksome Drive your wagon
over read where the planks are two feet
apart and the motion is excFuGiating let
the planks be showed up together ana 1t is
one delicious roll So in the Christian life.
We must make our datses come SO near to
each other that they viii touch, If we would
have them a pleasure. IL is easier to give
fifty times year than it is ten; easier to go
to church every Sunday than every month;
easiersto pray each night and morning than
only now and then; easier to be Christian
every day and in every place than only in
the church, and once a week. Habit is the
great helper that takes away the burden
from all labor and makes even the roughest
place smooth. And in our well doing, the
best way never to be weary is never to stop
and rest-Rel Nag.

THE WEAKER SEX.


Physically less muscular, and, generally
speaking, less powerfully built than men,
we are accustomed to speak of women as
belonging to the weaker sex It Is very
easy so to speak of them, though not quite
SO easy to see how, except in the physical
view of the question they generally deserve
the distinction. Pass in review before YOU
batch of your married friends, and ask your
self candidly are the wives In the majority
of the cases to be looked upon as weaker
characters than their husbands? IF you
want weak thing done, an improbable
bat pleasant thing. to which would you 90
for assistance in the carrying out OF your
scheme to the husband or wife Which
of the two would be the more capable of
saying mo r monosyllable often requi-
ring for il utterance at the proper moment
the very greatest amount Of moral force.
That expression, the weaker sex, seems
to me, just now, to be more than ever inap-
prOprlate when applied 10 the yUung ladies
in our bali rooms, prolnenading at our flow
er shows. endangerinS our lives when we
would cross Rotten-roW, or bidding us
Stand and deliver In the bazaar room or
tents In which they hold their fancy fairs. OF
whatever else we may accuse those fair and
exemplary creatures, we must by no means
charge them with undue timidity or irration-
al shyness and reserve.-AH the Yedr

PLEASANT HOMES.

The homes of America viii not become
what they should be until true idea Of life
shall become more widely implanted. The
worship of the dollar does more to degrade
American homes than all else. Tie chief end
Of life is to gather gold, and that gold is
counted lost which hangs a picture upon the
wall, which purchases flowers for the yard,
which buys book for the eager hard OF
childhood. Il this the whole of human life2
Then it is mean, meagre, and most unde'
sirabIe thing. A child win 20 forth from a
stall, glad to find free air and wider pasture.
The influence Of such home upon him in
after life, win be nothing good. Thousands
are rushing from homes like these every year.
They erewd into cities, they crowd into vii
lagos They swarm into aK p laces where Efe
fs clothed with higher gfgni6oancs, and the
old shell or home is deserted by every bird
as soon as it can fly. Ancestral homesteads
and patrimonial acres have no sacredness;
and when the father and mother die, the
obliterate associations that should be among
the most sacred of all things.
/ would have You build up for yourselves
and for your childRen home that viii never
be lightly parted with-a home which will be
TO all whose lives have been associated with
it the most interesting, precious spot On
earth. / would have that home the abode of
dignity, beauty, grace loye, genial fellowship,
and happy associations. Out from such
home would heYe good influences flow into
neighbor hoods In such aome would see
ambition sahing root, and receiving generous
culture. And then / would see you young
hasbands and you young wives live happy.
Do not deprive yourselves of such Influences
as win come through an institution ike this.
No money can pay you for such a 1epriya-
ton. No circumstances but those of utter
poverty can justly gou in denying these

A correspondence Of the Louisville jour
nal writing from Quincy, Ia, under date Of
June 18th, gives the following description Of
a novel method of trout fishing in youge
there.
On my way hither In the course of my
agricultural researches, assisted, as the
French say, at quite novel and amusing
fishing party, the ike Of which never saw
or read of before, The scene was a lake
covering about 200 acres, varying in depth
from fifteen to fifty feet, and filed with the
most beautiful speckled trout. When the
party reached the shore, q burly freedman
appeared with a huge bucket Of gourds on
his shoulder, TO the neck Of each which was
attached short line, at the end of which
was n hook, haited with q minnoW. The
freedmen pushed off in little canoe, and
flung these gourds broadcast on the face Of
the lake, and then the guests, who were to
participate in the sport, were invited to en-
bark, each IN canoe propelled By one pad
die. The day was just such one as would
have gladdened the heart of Izaak Walton,
and the trout bit greedily. Soon the gourds
were bobbing about In every direction, cha
sed by the eager and excited fishermen in
the canoes, amid the shouts OF those who
watched the fun from shore. Down goes a

it, and away it flies In the water with coup
lie of canoes in hot pursuit. The fishermen
paddle with all their might, and when one or
both come alongside, throw down their pad
dies and stretch out their hands to grasp
their prize. Away goes the gourd in anoth-
er direction, and away 60 the boats In con-
tlnued pursuit Soon other trout hook
themselves to other gourds, and become as
puzzled where to 60 as the fishermen which
to chase. Now under the bows now 70
leeward, now to starboard, the gourds and
trout are dancing about as If on purpose to
to confuse their pursuers, who occasionally,
if inexperienced IN the management Of the
peculiar craft in which TREY are afoat, miss
their distance, and gourd and trout and fish
ermen are all in the water together, the
canoe and paddle going it on their own
hook The more knowing and more
Self possessed land their fish with con-
siderable dexterity, but the noVices
have only the excitement of the
chase without any of the fish. One of the
party, fully six feet high and weighing over
two hundred pounds, insisted on taking an
active part in the sport, and in trying to
check the way of his boat with the paddle
by sticking in a mud bank found his craft
shoot from under him, leaving him to swim
out as best he could to the uproarious amuse-
ment of the spectators Fortunately there
were several skilled performers, who caught
number of trout and perch and after some
hours spent In the fish chase, an excellent
fry was served on shore, which every one
enjoyed hugely, and none more SO than the
portly individual who was capsized The
gentleman who gave this frolic, has very
fine plantation within few miles of Balm
bridge, admirably cultivated by well behaved
freedmen who have contracted 70 work, and
perform their promise with cheerful fidelity.

SATISFIED WITH HIS RECORD.

Hiester Clymer said ia his speech In
Reading, on Wednesday, that his history
as politician was the history of the State
for the last six years, and he would not to
day alter line or blot out particle of it. I"
I'VE quote from the Agel We are glad to
notice that he is SO frank Let us see what
he did for the soldiers and sailors o1..ue or
more occasions while he was in the State
tor Graham, Of Aliegheny, offered a resoIu
ton that the Senate of Pennsylvania urge
upon Congress the propriety of increasing
the pay of officers Of the army and navy
twenty-five per cent, and of privates one
hundred per cent On la motion to proceed
to second reading, the Democrats with
their leader, Mr. Clymer, voted In the neg
atiye, thus causing tie vote, and the mo-
ton was lost. At the same session a Joint
resolution was adopted, requesting our Re-
representatives. In Congress to vote for and
use their influence for the passage of law
increasing the pay of noal commissioned off
Gers and prirate soldiers. but upon It's final
passage Hiester Cymer voted nay Subse-
quently, when the bill regulating soldiers,
elections was passed, Clymer again proved
his consistency by voting against it. And
yet, with this record, of which he now has
the boldness to say he would not blot out
particle, be asks the soldiers and sailors TO
give him their votes The effrontry is only
equalled by that which promoted his organs
to complain that he did not occupy posi-

month. there to deliver up their blood

BED ROOMS-SNGULAR STATE

DR.. Il. s. Bell, an old and eminent physi-
clan of Louisville, man of vast acquire
ments and wide observation and experience
said the other day at meeting of the Lou.

The cause of cholera has never risen to
any great height perpendicularly, except

GLADsrnNE,s FnIRLE.

Mr.. Gladstone, says an English paper, is
not one whit worse tempered than the ma
jority of successful British statesmen--than
Lord Derby, for instance, or Lord Stanley.
He does not give way to the impulse of In
tellectual hauteur oftener than lord Palmer.
ston who showed, In addition, every now
and then, the Irish form of the pride oi
birth. But when Mr. Gladstone rates, it is
always some man like lord Robert
Montague man with whom half the
House have fellow-feeling of caste-who
falls under the lash. The whip cuts deer
in delicate flesh, and the irritation produced
by stern rebuke to a lordhng or county
member is twice as great as that which fol-
lows an lns0lent one to man whom nobody
knows. Then it is one thing to pardon a
man we like for mere burst of temper,
and quite another to overlook it in one
whom we interpret by the light OF latent
prejudice. It is of no use to deny that there
exist among a secti6a of the House, old
Wings, young aristocrats, and country gen
tlemen, feeling towards Mr.. Gladstone APP
preaching to an instructive dislike, feeling
compounded of the repulsion of cavalier
for puritan, and of the fear with which a
diplomatist regards an adversary sure to
gain the intellectual mastery. They are am
noyed with his siconscience" fretful with an
idea that be is not sound about land and
yet aware that, sound or uns0und they are
quite sure in debate to seem to be in the
wrong.
They rejoice, therefore, at every blundeF,
misinterpret every slip and rage at every in-
stance of tirmness as if it were concealed
impertinence. Nothing bu. the most suaye
serenity of temper could eradicate the latent
resentfulness thus produced, and Mr. Glad
stone, though as full Of genuine kindliness
as the calmest of his opponents, aud fuller
of sympathetic feeling, fails to exhihitshis
peculiar manner His smile is aptto be a
culver and he has the most unfortunate in
tolerance alike for inlbecilify and small
fnesse. A dodge, like Lord Stanley 5
when he tried TO put the cart before the
horse ON Monday week, gives him moral
annoyance, the feeling with which great ma
lures regard a basaness, and he expresses
this feeling with tsse force with which he
expresses every other he cannot speak
badly. Like the tragedian who could not
ask for beer without awing the pot boy, Mr..
Gladstone cannot rebuke without that terri
BILE force which makes, what he thinks an
ordinary sound, seem 10 bis audience like
thunder All these things tend TO dispel
the pleasant regard from men, opponents
as well as friends which has protected SO
many statesmen like moral coat of mail
which, for instance, 50 protected Lord
melbourne that even bullets glanced aside

How A NOBLE Doc SAWED HIMSELF BY
SAVING A HUMAN LIFE New York
Post says The number of dogs received
at the Dound in East Twenty-ffth street up
10 the lstinst. and drowned was $50
On Monday an interesting incident oc-
Cured at the pound A boy fell from the
dock outside the inclosure into the East
river, and man who had brought large
dog, but had not entered the pound, hap
pened to be standing sear. He dropped
the rope BY which he held the dog for a
moment in order to take his coat of, SO that
he might rescue the boy. The dog, releas-
ed, plunged into the river before the man
had fairly begun to remove hisclothing, and
seizing the boy by the arm, dragged him to
the dock, from which he was easily taken
from the water. The prints of the animal 4
teeth could scarcely be seen i'm the boy i
flesh. The dog made no effort to escape,
but was led into the pound
When the daily drowning was perfornaed
this dog was not killed ,and he was kept fti
three days in consideration Of his services
His owner not thea appearing he wal
awarded to one nf the friends he had made
by the fortunate leap BY which he rescued
the child and saved his own life.

A PARABLE.

A certain tyrant sent for one Of his sub
jects and Sid 10 him, What is your
employment He said, II am black
smith +" $50 home, said he, and make
me chain of such length. He went
home it occupied him several months, and
he hadno wages all the time he was making
it. Then he brought it to the monalch and
he said, $50 and make it twice as long.
He gave him nothing to do it with but sent
him away Again he worked ON and made
it twice as long He brought it up again,
and the monarch said, Go and
makeit longer still. Each time be brought
il, there was nothing but the command to
make it longer still And when he brought

bind him hand and foot with il, and cast
him into furnace of fire. These were his
wages for making the chain. Here is a
meditation for you to night, We servants of

you to make chain. Some of you have
been fifty years welding the links of the

and put another link on; next Monday you
will do dishonest action. and so you viii
keep on making fresh links to this chain;
and when you have lived twenty more years
the devil win say, More links on stilll''
And then at last, it viii be, Take him and

MATTERs MATRIMoNIAL.


A mate-a mate, maiden cried,
One pleasant summers day,
When, with her lover by her side,
They joined in rival play
In rival play in glorious chess.
The noblest ofall games,
Whose ivory images possess
Such very loyal names.
"A mate-a mattel she wildly said,
As with impetuons haste
Her Queen across the board she sped,
And by his monarch placed.
So confident she seemed to be,
Such boldness in her mien,
He did not for a moment see
His King could mate her Queen.
a mate-a mattel at last he cried,
''fes, It's mate / see,
But only such, my darling pride,
AS would have from theeh'
He said, and round her lovely form
His manly arm he pressed,
Till she unto his passion warm
An answering love confessed.
"a mate--a mattel young cupid sang,
As through the room he few,
This may be chess, but yet guess
'Tis nothing yery newt
The oiden game, whate'e its name,
IL still the same, / see,
When woman sweet and man compete
There's sure mate to be.

From the sweet protecting skies
Follow her with tender eyes;
Look SO lovingly that she
Cannot choose but think of me;
Watch her kindly, stars!
Sooihe her sweetly, night
On her eyes, o'erwearied, press
The tired lids with light caress;
Let that shadowy hand of thine
Ever in her dreams seem mine;
SoOthe her sweetly, night!
Wake her gently, morn
Let the notes of early birds
Seem like loves melodious words;
Every pleasant sound my dear,
When she stirs from sleep, should hear
Wake her gently, morn
Kiss her softly, winds
Softly, that she may not miss
Any sweet, accustomed bliss?
On her lips, her eyes, her face,
