Now that every household numbers one
or more helps" ought we not TO think
more of our duty towards our servants
when berating them in conversation with
our husbands and our friends because they
do not do their duty TO us: When they
become inmates of our homes we become
in measure responsible for their well
doing and their happiness. We ought TO
enter To a certain extent into their affairs,
and so far as we may, help them 10 bear
their troubles, and rejoice in their happ.-
ness. Above all, We ought never TO neg
lcct wise counsel as To- their health, per-
SORdt cie0RtiRcsS, their associates, and
their earnings.
Our great -grandmothers," says a
thoughtful writer, would not have per-
miiied their maids 10 scrub their rooms in
'noHps;' yet housemaids now wear cIino-
line, and whalebone, and spring pciicOats,
and pretend To do their work In them.
Then come their flowers and cheap finery,
the bugle trimming To the bonnet, ana the
bugle lace bobbing round the cbnbhy
pumpkin of a face heading the corpulent
body of some fashion-aspiring cook. All
are abSurdiiles, and dangerous, moreover;
for these things. although iawdv and
trumperv, and foolish, cost a great deal
OF money. and wear out in time; and the
wages OF servant will not enable her to
obtain them honestly and also To put 10y a
little money against sickness or misfortune.
Not only DO they cost her money, but she
has 10 spend time and thought in their
purchase and construction. And then
comes the habit of thinking of these sort
OF things, the consequent love of finery,
and the means of displaying that finery-
the walks, the dancing rooms. the gay
companions and the gay sceIcs-all these
follow in the trail of the tawdry finory."
Aud all this might have been prevented at
the outset by a judiciOus word OF advice,
10y taking AN interest in their wardro bes,
priising those things that are neat and
becoming, and showing them how unsuita-
ble and useless the coveted finery would
prove
We know of one family where the cook
has $500 placed at interest the nurse her
own little store in the savings bank, and
the new waiter has been inspired by the
good example of the household To make a
beginning of fund that would render her
Independent of hospitals or subscriptions
if sickness or death came. The mistress
docs not think il too much trouble to- in
spect their accounts, advise their winter
and summer purchases, or even TO make
them to better advantage than they won ltl
be able To do at the cheap shops their class
frequent II is 1.-THE good master tha,
makes the good servant after all.

Farmers during the severe labors Of the
busy season, that of planting, crop tending
and harvesting, are constantly in the open
air. This as every one knows is greatly
conducive to health and vigor. But du-
ring this Season they are obliged TO work
in the dust and dirt incident to the various
processes of farm labor, and not unfre-
quently during some portions of the year
in complete Precipitation almost the en-
tire day. Now the point that we insist
upon is that during this season no farmer
shall retire for the night without changing
the entire apparel in which he has labored
and prespired during the day. The very
idea of a farmer reeking with sweat and
covered with dust, getting into a clean bed
for the night, is anything but pleasant, has
a tendency to allay him too closely with
the lower species of mammals, and is in
consistent with all our ideas of health,
comfort and personal cleanliness. How
much better il would be for the farmer 5
own health, and for the well being of his
wife and family, if cn retiring at night he
should remove the shirt in which he has
labored all day, al d put on a light, clean
night shirt in its place, afler first having
sponged his entire body with cool water.
We know farmers will say they have no
time to do this, and the farmers wife may
say she cannot wash so many pieces, and
this change of clothing will only make an
additional number TO wash. But these
are the merest shadows of an excuse.
The matter we have mentioned will not
take the farmer ten minutes time, and he
can hardly estimate the benefit it will be
10 him in promoting his health, and con-
tributing to the value af his nights rest.
And the plan, instead of adding TO, will
actually lesson the hard work OF the farm
er's wife. To be sure she will have an
extra night shirt to wash every week but
the bed clothing will be comparatively
clean and free from the dirt obtained from
contact with the working clothes of men
who labor on the farm. Farmers, and
farmers wives, give more attention to
these matters, and thereby secure in a
greater degree your own personal health
and comfort. '-Cleanliness is next to god

ALWAYS Took IT.-A plucky old fellow
whose son was student at New England
College, spent day with him and stopped
TO tea. When his cup was filed he seized
bowl of salt, which he supposed to be
sugar. and put the usual quantity in his
tea. Sly glances and suppressed ''snicker-
ing" led him 10 suspect that something
was wrong, but the old fellow, who don't
like to be laughed at. xearied il down, ant!
putting en- face that was intended to
make everybody think that he liked his
dose of salt, he called for another cup, and
upon receiving it, said to the head snick-
terer: Young man. will you he Kind
enough to pass that bowl of sali?,' The
salt was passed, and amid the most breath
less silence, he dipped couple Of spoon
fuls into his tea, stirred it up, and tasted
it with a look OF apparent satisfaction
I"Why, Mr.. - said the young man OPP
posite him, "do you drink salt nyour tea?'
Always" answered the plucky old man
with great emphasis, and in bis pleasant
est manner.

THE On NEwsPAPER.-An Instructive
lesson may bc drawn from the columns of
old newspapers. You meet with names
that seem once TO have been on every
tongue, but now are never mentioned;
authors of new books. which The reviewer
confidently handed down TO the admira-
iion of ali after ages, but which somehow
have failed 10 reach errr age; popular
preachers, whose sermons have sent no
echo Ia our ears; politicians, who ill whole
columns of the paper. but have long since
retired TO an undiscovered privacy; swarrs
Of dukes, princes. generals and captains.
who played prominent parts in the TRACE
dies er farccs of those days, but of whom
we were Totally ignorant until we saw the
old newspaper. What a severe critic is
time, With what ruthless hand he blo;s
out the praises OF other Journalists. How
quietly he shuts down lis extinguisher
upon lights that the world said would
never 20 out.

The JAPASEsE.--Takc the Japanese as a
whole, high and low, rich and poor, they
are the best fed. best clad. best lodged,
least overworked, and most genial and hap

Food is abundant and chcap--imaginary
wants rare and thus temptations TO crime
are less than with US, though the land is no
Utopia. ..i4s a..
There is no such thing as a squalor to

her dress. The streets are admirably sew

Tbe Power of the Tonrue.

1t is talk which initiates all our ends; 10
love, 10 friendship, it is almost always the
tongue which is the gateway. The pre-
scrvation OF young woman from the pur-
suit of mad bull, or the rescue Of fell
low creature from drowning. are oppor-
tunities that do not take place ia real life
so often as in novels. The manly, yet
conciliaiory, expression of an opinion, the
eloquent eulogy of a pursuit, or the witty
defense of q pasiime; in short, few we'll
chosen words, we'll spoken, upon any sub
ject, form the best introduction To our fcl-
low creatures, and do more TO at,ractthem
to us than any natural advantage, except,
indeed. the personal beauty of woman.
Ii is the knowledge of the power of this
latter charm which makes pretty women
commonly such foolish takers. They have
cnly to show their faces to win ut once.

should we cultivate the powers of speech,
