An AFFECTIoNATE HusBAND.-A
husband accompanied his wife 10 con-
fession. The lady having opened her
griofs, the father who was shiycrjng
her insisted on administering asevere
securing. The husband hearing the
first stroke inflicted on his better half
~iutcrfcred, and urged that his wife
was delicate, aud that, as he and she
we're Of one flesh, il would be better
for him, as the stronger vessel, TO
receive the securing intended for his
helpmate. The confessor having
consented, to this substitution, the
man knelt in his wife's place, while
she retired from the confessional
'Whack ! whack | went the cat, fol-
lowed by a moan from thegood mans

TEN FoLLIEs.--To think that the
more a man eats the fatter and
stronger he will become.
To believe that the more hours
children study at school the faster
they learn.
To conclude that ii exercise ifgood
for the health, the more violent and
exhausting it is, the more good is
done.
To imagine that every hour taken
from sleep is an hour gained.
To act on the presumtion that the
smallest room in the house is large
enough to sleep in.
To argue that whatever remedy
causes one to feel immediately better
is good for the system, without re-
gard to more ulterlor effects.
To commit an act which is felt in
itself to be preiudicial, hoping that
somehow or other it may be done in
your case with impunity.
To advise another to take a
remedy which you have not tried
yourself without making special in
quiry whether all the conditions are
alike.
To eat without an appetite, or con-
tinue to eat after it has been satisfied
merely to crafty the taste.
To eat a hearty supper for the
pleasure experienced during the brief
time 1t is passing down the throat, at
the expense OF a night Of disturbed
sleep, and a weary waking in the
morning.

Boys Ont nj Nfghi.

How many men are there who, in
looking back To their boyhood DAYS, will
not heartily endorse the following per-
tnent remarks Of an exchange upon
this subject. Il says: "Thc practice
Of allowing boys to spend their evenings
in the streets is one Of the most ruiuous
dangerous and misehievous things Dos
sible. Nothing SO speedily and surely
marks their course downward. They
acquire, under the cover of night. an
unhealthy state Of mind, vulgar and
protane language, obscene practices.
criminal sentiments, aud lawless and
riotous bearing. Indeed, it is in tho
streets after nigLttall that boys gene.
rally acquire the education and the
capacity for becoming rowdy. dissolute
men. Parents, do YOU believe itY-

nights, and see that their home Is made

African "CivIiization.,, },

The Jouyaal 0f Commerce. In a re.
view Of Du Chailln's Book on African
Explorations, looks in it ia vain for
evidence Of the faintest progress Of
civilization in that land OF perpetual
barbarism. Now, says the writer:
THE hope that some explorer might
yet strike the evidence Of negro civil
zation, might yet in the deep forests of
Airlca find the remains of a house. or
the broken fragments Of a plough. or
the rudest outlines Of forgotten al
phabct, anything to indicate that this
N iserable degradation aud debasemeut
had not been the characteristic Of the
black man in all times, aud that il
might yet be different in the future.
this hope must be abandoned. From
the days of Rsmesis, when the Negroes
were pictured on the Egyptian mopu.
ments, to the present day, the same
characteristics mark him whenever
found in his native state. The vayious
books oftravel 10 Africa are worth the
study of all who are Interested in the
negro and his Development. Il appears
to be the opinion Of travellers that the
race Is decreasing in Africa. II is also
decreasing among us with fearful rapi-
dity, BY the time that philanthropists
have established the doctrine of the
equality of the races, it will not be
strange if there are no negroes left to
enjoy the now status"
