..rHE MAN OF THE WORLD"

The first lesson of nature is perpetual as

very refined age, and fossils show how many
times it has been through the mill, rasping
it off and refining it. II Is a world of cul-

seed into it aud the whole through every
grain will undergo transformation. Put a
man into that pot and the change is still
greater Man is a born collector Of man

selection Is itself guide to fine choices. In

1t is long way from the gorilla to the gen

There was never a marked man who had
not keen perception of nature. Any con-
sideratiOn of botany, astronomy, geology,
administers fiTmness to the mind, while

ties that report to him the knowledge Of ma

WASH THE TEETH At NIGHT.-A few
who inherit good teeth, and who care moth
ing for looks, neglect brushing their teeth !;
but none who wish to preserve their teeth,
good or bad, as long as possible, should ne
qlect to brush them once or more times a
day, with brush 50 stiff as to clean them
well, but not SO hard as to wound or irritate
the gums. They should be brushed 10th
night and morning, but If only once, let it
be done the last thing before retiring. Por-
tons Of food, sweets, &C., left on or between
the teeth at night, decay or acidify. and cor

caying teeth be thoroughly brushed out with
water at night, and when rising, il will add
years to their effective use and freedom from
pain. Most of the tooth powders sold con
tain an injurious acid, which, though it
gives the teeth a clean, white surface, does
it at the expense of some Of the natural
surface. A little hard soap, pleasantly

rHE AMERICAN WOMEN.

The June number Of Hours at Home has
an article on How to Treat Our Wives,
which those who think that love IS not an
essential element to true marriage will do
well to read The article is too long for in
sertion In our paper. The following are the
closing paragraphs:
The American woman is what the Ameri-
can man requires her to be, and what
American institutions and influences enable
her to be- There is constant and fruitful
effort on the part Of men to secure for their
daughters and for general female society the
best advantages for education and culture;
and these same men do this with wives in
their homes who are treated little better than
housekeepers They are not regarded as
partners; they are not treated as intimate
and confidential companions. Equality OF
position identity of interest, community of
arms. afFectionate and cousiderate tenderness
and respectfulnessof of demeanor, through SYM
palhy that shows itself in all private and
family intercourse. certainly do not prevail
between American husbands and wives,
when regarded in the aggregate. Some
will be disposed to deny this who only see
life under some of It's more favored phases;
but those who are acquainted with all class
es, in city and country, cannot fail to recog-
nize the truthfulness of the statement.
Women are denied the sympathy and society
of their husbands to a shameful extent.
They are kept in a position of dependence,
and made to feel their dependence; they are
made to ask for money for their personal
use, and compelled to feel like mendicants
in doing it. There are multitudes of wives,
supposed to be well married, who never
approach their husbands for money without
a sense of humiliation Now any man who
compels tue woman of his love. to do this,
insults her womanhood degrades her. de-
MES essentially his marriage VOWS, and does
his best to kill out her respect for him, and
to make the connubial bond an irksome one.
A wife who is made to feel that she Is beg
gar, is no longer a wife, except in name. n
wife who is compelled to feel that she, has
no rights except those which her husband
accords to her from hour to hour, looses her
spirit and her sclfrespect, and becomes a
menial In feeling and in fact.

MRs, GRUNDY SPoILS OUR GIRLS. -Rey.
Henry Ward Beecher, who, by the way, isa
good teacher, gives some good advice about
the girls, aud 1t is a pity his advice could
not be needed By-and-by there will be
women from ten to twenty years old. Mr..
Beecher says:
"a girl is not allowed to be a girl after
she is ten years old. If you treat her. as
though she was one she will ask you what
you mean. /. she starts to run across the
street, she is brought back to the nursery to
a lecture on the propriety Of womanhood'
Now it seems to me that a girl should DC
nothing but a girl until she IS seventeen.
OF course there are proprietles belonging to
her sex which it is fitting tor her to
observe, but it seems to me that, aside from
these. she ought to have the utmost lati-
tude. She ought to be encouraged TO do
much out Of doors-to run and exercise in
all those ways which are calculated to dcyel-
op the muscular frame What is true Of
boys in the matter of bodily health, Is emil
nently SO of girls. 1t is all important that
woman should be healthy and well devel-
oped. Man votes, writes, does business, etc,
but woman is the teacher and the mother
of the world and anything that deteriorates
woman is a comprehensive plague on HE IT.
self Health among women IS thing that
every man, who is wise and conslderate foI
his race, should more earnestly seek and
promote.

The world is crazy for show. There is
not one person in a thousand who dares fall
back on his real, simple self, for power to
get through the world, and exact enjoyment
as he goes along. There is too much living
in the eyes of other people There is no
end 70 the aping, the mimicry, the false airs
and the superficial airs. 1t requires rare
courage, we admit, to live up to ones en-
lightened convictions in the days Unless
you consent to join in the general cheat,
there Is no room for you among the great
mob of pretenders If man dares to live
within his means, and is resolute in his pur-
pose not to appear more than he really is,
let him be applauded. There is something
fresh and invigorating in such an example,
and we should honor and uphold such a
man with all the energy in our power.
