THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.

A Boston paper tells the following,
which some employ yers will not fai! to ap-
preciate: ..rc.-r-- t... -f .r......
We were never more impressed with the
dignity of labor than while witnessing, a
few days since. group of 8 down trotlden
workming men, engaged in setting up
some machinery. There were FIVE OF themy
or rather tonr men. and a boy, and at the
same time they came under our notice,
80 P. NJ, one was engaged in slowly turn
ing over the contents of a box in search of
a screw, two were looking with much in
terest for the result of the labors of No. /,
the fourth was slowly scratching a piece
of iron with file, and the boy was scratch
ing his head. No finally found a screw
to suit him, but during the search his pipe
had gone ont. Laying down the screw he
began to investigate his pockets for a
match. Nos. 2 and 3 searched theirs in
sympathy, while the fiier paused to see
tile result. Finally No. 2 found match,
iguited it and handed it to No. l, who,
having accomplished light, smoked for a
few minutes TO assure himself of the fact,
while the boy went to the other room 10

his watch, and compared time with No. 3.

No. then put the screw into position
to fasten bar. No. held the bar. No
3 squinted at it from the other side of the
machine No. inspected the operation
reflectvcly, as he slowly resumed his FL
ing, and the boy wiped the oil from his
fingers. Time 5.45. The entire labor was
now suspended, while the boy was sent
across the room for the necessary tool
Just then it occurred TO No. that chew
of tobacco was necessary to his comfort,
aud as lis supply was out, he applied to
No. 3 for the weed, and to No. for a
knife to cut it with. No. consulted his
watch again. Time $50. And labor was
resumed, the screw was turned hone,f No,

with grin Of admiration. The filer laid
down his work aud looked at his watch,

ExTEMPoRANEoUs SURGERY.

Even young children should be taught
how to act in some of the accidents of life
which require surgical skill. The arteries
of the body carry the life's blood from the
heart. If one of these is ruptured from
any cause, and the blood is allowed to es-
cape, the man will die within few min
utes. sometimes, when with the aid of a
stick ard string or handkerchief, either
of which are always at hand, his life might
be saved If the severed artery is in the
leo or arm, and there is no string at hand.
tear strip from any part of the clothing,
tie it loose around the limb, pass the stick
between the skin and the string and twist
it around until the bleeding ceases. If a
vein is cut, apply the dust from tea can
lister or common cobweb or even without
these, wrap strip of cotton cloth around
moderately tight, and then another around
that if the bleeding does not cease, let
cold water run on the wound until 1t does,
or until physician arrives. But it is OF
vital Importance TO remember that the ar
tery sends out blood spurts or jets, and Of
a brirht red character. If the blood comes
from a vein, it flows slowly and evenly,
and is of dark red But these directions
will do no good unless it is especially noted
that if the blood comes from an artery, the
application of the string must be made
above the wound, that is between the
wound and the heart if vein has been
wounded, and the same appliances are
needed, they must be made below the
wound, or between the wound and the ex-
tremties.
If an artery is cut in part Of the body
where string canno; be applied, hard
pressure with the thumb at a spot about
where the string would have been applied
may save lite.
If stung or bitten by an insect, snake or
animal, apply spirits of hartshorn very
freely with soft rag, because 1t is one of
the strongest of alkalies, and is familiar to
most persons. The substance which caus-
es the SO called poison from bites or stings,
as far as ascertained, is generally acid
Hence the hartshorn antagonists il in pro-
portion to the promptitude with which it

A WoRD TO MoTnERs.-Each mother is
a historian. She writes not the history Of
empires or of nations on paper but she
writes her own history on the lmpersbahle
mind Of ber child. That tablet and that
history will remain indelible. when time
shall be no more That history each moth
er shall meet again and read with eternal
JOY or unutterable grief in the coming ages
of eternity. This thought should weigh on
the mind of every mother, and render her
deeply circum>peet and prayerful and faith
ful in her solemn work of training up her
children for heaven aud Immortality.
The minds Of children are very suscept-
iblo and easily impressed. a word a look
a frown may engrave An impression on the
mind of child which no lapse of time can
efface or wash out,-You walk along the
sea shore when the tide is out. and you

as Your fancy may dictate; but the return

child, which neither the floods nor the
storms of earth can wash out, nor Deaths
cold fingers erase, nor the slow moving ages
of eternity. obliterate. How careful, then,
should each mother be in the treatment of
her child How prayerful, and how serious
and how earnest to write the eternal truths

shall be his guide and teacher when her

Yes yes whispering spirit cal,as my mind,

shall behold thee, love, in glory shrined,
As arial forms from worms burst forth they spread
Their.golden wings, and take their happy flight;
