CHARACTER OF a TRUE FRIEND. .-Concefn
ing the man you call your friend; tell me,
will he weep with you in the hours of dis
tress? win he faithfully reproye you to
your face for actions which others are ridi-
culing and censuring behind your back? VIII
he dare not to stand forth in your defence,
when deuaction is secretly aiming its dead
ly weapon at your reputation. VIII he
acknowledge you with the same cordiality
and behave to you with the same friendly
attention. in the company of yorr superiors
in rank aud fortune, as when the claims OF
pride do not interfere with those of friend
ship? If misfortune and losses should oblge
YOU to retire into walk of life IN which you
cannot appear with the same liberality as
as formerly, will he still think himself hap
py inyou society, and instead of withdraw
ing himself from an Improbable connection
take pleasure 10 protesting himself your
friend and chcerfully assist you to support
the burden of your affiictions2 When sick
ness shall call you to retire from gay and
busy scenes Of the world, wlllhe follow you
into yonr gloomy retreat, listen with atten-
ton to your tale Of symptoms, and ad-
minister the balm of consolation to your
flinting spirits2 And lastly, when death
shall bust assunder every earthly tie, will
be shed tear upon your grave, and lodge
the dear remembrance oiyour mutual trlend-
ship IN his heart.

ABOVE IS BUSINESS. sit is a serious evil
that many young man has fallen into to be
above his business. A person learns a trade
and then he must go to shop-keeping, Or
street loafng, or turn politician Fool IF
he cannot make living at his trade, we are
sure he cannot any other way. And then,
young men brought up to shop keeping must
buy farms, or houses, or some other foolish
things they know nothing about, and what
is the result? Head over heels in debt and
certain failure Multitudes have been ruin
ed by being above their business and branch
ing out into what they know nothing about

now TO SAVE YOUR TEETH.

Mr. Beecher, who is something of a ply
sician, as well as theologist, author, lee
turer and reformer, generally. says;
*Our teeth decay Hence, bad breath,
unseemly mouth, and imperfect mastication.
Everybody regrets it. What is the cause?
1t is want of cleanliness. A clean tooth
never decays. The mouth is a warm place,
ninety eight degrees Particles of meat be
tween the teeth decompose. Gums and
teeth must suffer. Cleanliness will preserve
the teeth to old age Use aquill pick and
linse the mouth after eating; brush with
CASTLE soap every morning. brush with pure
water on retiring Bestow this trifiing care
upon your precious teeth, you viii keep
them aud ruin the dentists Neglect it, and
you will bein sorrow all your lives.
Children forget Watch them. The first
teeth determine tie character of the second
set. Give them equal care.
Sugars, acids, hot drinks, salaratus, are
nothing compared with food decomposed
between the teeth Mercury may loosen
the teeth, use may wear them out, but keep
them clean and they win never decay. This
advice is worth more than thousands Of dol
lars 10 every boy and girl. Books have
been written on the subject. This brief
article contains all that is essential.

A LEFT-HANDED COMPLIMENT. The
Democratic journals are exulting over the
fact that some of the Republican members
of the Legislature complimented Mr. Clymer
on his nomination. They, however, omit
to give the reason why those gentlemen ex-
tended their congratulations to the Senator
from Berks. Knowing him to be the weak
est and most vulnerable aspirant the Demoe-
racy could select they naturally expressed
their qualification after he had been nomina-
ted-a left handed compliment which men
generally would prefer saving little about.

NEVER KNOCK UNDER. No, never.
Always rally your forces for another and
more desperate assault upon adversely. If
calumny assails you, and the world-as it is
apt to do in such cases-takes part with
your tradueers, don't turn moody and mis-
anthropie, or worse still, seek to drown your
unhappiness in dissipation. Bide your time.
Disaproye the slander if you can; if not, live
it down. If poverty comes upon you like a
thief in the night-what then? Let it rouse
you as the presence of a real thief would do
to energetic action. Nomatter how deeply
you may have got into hot water-always
provided that you did not help the father of
Lies to heat it--your case, if you are male of
the right kind of stuff, is not desperate; for
it IS in accord with the Divine order and
sweep Of things that life should have no
difficulties which an honest determined man,
wish Heaven help, cannot surmount.

THE PURE HEART.

The springs Of everlasting life are within.
Jhere are clear streams gushing up from the
depths Of the soul, and flow out to enliven
the sphere Of outward existence. But like
the waters of Siloah, they go swiftly.

of the little riIl as ii glides from its mountain

through the green vale, but its course viii

The forms of life and beauty that gather
around it. 1t is ever thus with the pure.
You may not hear the still small voice,
or heed the silent aspiration, but there is a
moral influence and holy power which you
VIII feel The wlldiness Is made to smere,
flowers of new life and beauty spring up
and flourish, while an invisible presence
breathes immortal fragrance through the
atmosphere.

In A NUTSHELL. The Knoxville Hhig
puts the whole thing in nutshell, when it
says the following:
six millions of white people, without
shadow of pretext, engaged in struggle to
overthrow the government, and with it,
twenty millions of whites and four millions
of blacks. They waged terrible war, char
acterized by fendish barbarism never
equaled before since the beginning of time.
They caused an expense of folr thousand
millions of nloney to the nation. They
murdered fifty thousand of soldiers of the
Government by starvation and cold, denying
fire by winter and shelter In summer They
burned cities and spread pestilence they
assassinated the ruler of the country filed
the country with widows and orphans; de-
moralized the Churches and blasphemed
the name of God; and now ask to rote and
gtle the country, as they had formerly
done l'

FLOWERS, How the universal heart of
man blesses flowers They are wreathed
round The cradle, the marriage altar and the
tomb. The Persian in the far East delights
N their perfume, and writes his loves in
nosegays, while the Indian child of the
great West claps his hands with glee as he
gathers the abundant blossoms iliumi-
mated scriptures of the prairies. The Gu
pid of the ancient Hindoos tipped his ar
rows with flowers, and orange buds are the
bridal crown with us, nation of yesterday
Flowers garlanded the Grecian altar, and
they hang in yotive wreaths before the
Christian shrine All these are appropriate
uses. Flowers should deck the brow Of the
youthful bride, for they are themselves a
lovely type Of marriage. They should
twine round the tomb, for their perpetually
renewed beauty is a symbol of the resurrec,
ton. They should festoon the altar, for
their fragrance and their beauty ascend in
perpetual worship before the Most High.
