Guard against Vulgarity.

We especially commend the following
extract to the thoughtful study of the
young. Nothing is 50 disgusting and re-
pugnant to the feelings of the noble and
the good as to hear the young, or even
the old, use prolano or low, vulgar Ian
guagc. The young of our town arc part
icularly guilty of profanity. In our day it
seems the ''boy" does not feel himself n
"man" unless he can excel i'll this great
sin !.
ave would guard the young against
the use Of every word that is not strictly
proper. Use no profans cxpression-al
lude to no sentence that will put to
blush tho most sensitive. You know not
the tendency ofhabitually using indecent
aud prolanc language. 1t may be oblit-
Grated from your heart. When you grow
up, you will find at your tongc's end some
expression which you would not use Tor
any money. 1t was ono used when you
were quito young. BY being careful, you
will save yourself a deal of modification
and sorrow. Good men have been taken
sick and become delirous. In these mo-
mcnts they used the most vile aud indc-
cent language Imaginable When infor-
med of it after restoration to health, they
had no idea of the pain they had given
their friends, and stated that they had
learned aud repeated the expression in
childhood, aud though years had passed
iincc they had spoken a bad word, they
had been indclibly stamped upon the
heart. Think of this, you who arc
tempted to use improper language, and
never disgrace yourselves"

A Hint to Bald-Headed PeOpIe.

Frederick Kemp writes from the silves
mines of Montana to The Herald of
Health, giving the following hint in refer
ence to cure for baldhcadedness "A
friend of mine who had the misfortune to
be baldhcaded, knowing that there is a
wonderful invigoratiug power in the suns
rays, last spring threw away his hat, and
worked in the gulch all spring, summer
and fall bare headed, and also for the FIRST
few days at id-day. For a few days the
rays of the hot sun on his head were al
most uncomfortable; after that time he ex-
pcrienced no uncasincss whatever. The
result was that in the fall he had good
head of hair. And in this experiment
he was not alone-scveral Of his acquain-
tanccs who were bald headed, having fol-
lowed the same plan, they were all fostu-
nate enough to experience the same re-
suit" The editor adds that similar
case once came under his own observation,
and processes to have no doubt that " the
exposure of the skin to the air aud sun
shine, under proper circumstances, stimu-
lates it to healthy action with it those
glands upon which the growth of the haiy
depends"

Grants Alledged Waste of Life.

General Grant has been repeatedly
charged with an cxtravaSant waste of life
in the conduct of his cam
paigns, and particularly in that one which
resulted in the overthrow of Lees army
But it is an interesting and instructive
the act that casualties incurred by the
Army Of the Potomac, during its career
from Bull Run up to the failure of the
Mine Run campaign, at the end of 1868
Ga period in which, notwithstanding the
partial victories of Antictam and Gcttys-
burg, it gained no substantial success
over its hardy and persistent antagonist
were greatly in excess Of those incurred
by it while under Grants immediate COM
mand.
The only Satisfactory rocompense for the
loss of life incurred in warfare is victory
followed by the triumph of the cause for
which war is undertaken
Considered in the light of this principle,
and not forgetting that Grant was in COM
mand of all the armicsS and therefore
could not regulate details for any of them,
the following carefully prepared state
ment, drawn from official sources, ought
to put an end to the charge of butchery
and needles waste of life, so unjustly made
against the greatest as well as the most
humane General of his time.

The Mormon Nursery in Wales.

The following appears in the Pail Mall
Gazette:
owe recorded the other evening a stray
piece of news which probably attracted
little attention in England, but which, if
it fell into the hands of quick Ameri-
can writer, might be made the basis of a
very interesting work. AS it is very
short, we may venture to repeat it: six
hundred and fifty Mormon cmigrants sail
cd from Liverpool on Saturday for the
Salt Lake, by way of New Y ork. A large
proportion the cmigrants were women" I"
Any American book maker who wished
to do clever thing had only to go to
Liverpool after reading this paragraph
and there make inquiries about the Nor
mons. IIc would probably be referred
to Wales, and if he pursued his journey
thithcr he would soon discover that he
had hit upon the large training ground
of Mormondom. He would find that are
rear the followers of brigham Young and
that America gets the credit Of them.
\ thrilling picture Of the frightlul state
of social life in Great Britain might be
drawn from the presence among us of
strange sccts. Wales is a great deal near
or to the heart of England than Salt
Lake or Oneida Creek is to anything
which deserves to be called american !;
and an cnterprising traveller, gifted with
a 1.-the and sincwy style, might easily de-
ludc portion of his countrymcn into the
belief that the Mormon nursey in Wales
can be safely taken as an example Of the
relations which exist between the sexes
all over the country. If he did this, and
it well, he would deserve to be consider
cd very Smart man, for-to use a COM
mon phrasc-hc would have paid us back
in our own coin. We send ship loads Of
Mormons to America and then write
books to prove that Mormonism is the
natural fruit of the loose principles which
prevail in America"

They Learn Nothing.

Four years ago people were greatly
amused by finding the Democratic plat
form-which declared the war failure.
and demanded an immediate cessation of
hostIlltles-printcd in many of the couu
try papers on the same page with reports
OF the capture of Atlanta by Sherman.
The;year before that, Mr.. Seymour, of
this State, distinguished himself by a
dolorous Fourth of-July Grafton in this
city, in which he warned his hearers that
we could not afford to carry on the war
any longer, that we could never beat the
rebels. But while he was speaking Vicks-
burg was surrendered to Grant, and Lee
was beginning to fly from Meade at Get
tysburg; and Scymour's speech was se-
compauicd in the next days papers with
gloss most unwelcomc to him and those
who thought with him.
a number of experiences OF this kind
ought to have warned the Democratic
leaders not to attempt prophecy. Their
strength docs not lie in that direction !;
events appear to have spite against
them. 1t would be difficult to imagine
anything moro inappropriate than GEN
eral Sherman's capture of Atlanta just
after the Democratic Convention had
solcmnly declared the war failure, and
demanded immediate cessation of hostil-
tiles but the circumstances under which,
the Democratic platform appears this
morning are not more fortunate.
The platform denounces the Freed
mems Bureau and demands. its abolition;
but Congress had already passed an act
discontinuing the bureau which became
law yesterday and General Howard
gave notice in the same papers in which
the Democratic platform is printed, that
the bureau has ceased in South Carolina,
and that he is rapidly winding up its af-
fairs in the other States.
We read IN the platform demand for
tho immediate restoration of all the States;
and turning from this passage to another
column of the papers, read that while ALI
arc restored but four, South Carolina
Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas, South
Carolina has just adopted the amendments,
and will doubtless be represented in Con-
gross within the week. But we read ar
SO in the platform that the acts of recon
struction arc ''void," which means that
the Democrats, if they succeed, will at
once destroy all that has been done, and
put us back again to 1865. This is
promise which will hardly delight pco-
pie who have grown tired of the long re-
construction squabblc. To reopen this
question, now settled in all but three
States, would be calamity to the coun-
try-but that is what the platform threa>

Home After Business Hours.

The road along which the man Of bust
ness travels in the pursuit of competence
or wealth, is not macadamized one, nor
does it ordinarily lead through pleasant
scenes and by wcll-springs of delight
On the contrary, it is rough and rugged
path, bcsct with "wait-a- bit" thorns, and
full of pit falls, which can only be avoid
cd by the watchlul care Of circumspcc-
ton. After every days journey over
this worse than rough tuanpike road, the
wayfarcr needs something more than
rest; he requires solace, and he deserves
it. He is weary Of the dull prose of life,
aud a thirst for the poetry. Happy is the
business man who can find that solacc
and that poetry at home.
Warm greetings from loving hearts,
fond glanccs from bright eyes, and well
come shouts of children, the many thou
sand little arrangements for comfort and
enjoyment that silently tell of thoughtful
and cxpcctant love, the gentle ministra-
tions that disencumbcr as into an old and
easy scat before We are aware of it these
and like tokens of affection and sympa-
thy, constitute the poetry that rcconciles
us to the prose of life. Think of this,
ye wives aud daughters of business men
Think of the tolls, the anxictics, the NOR
tifcation and wear that fathers undergo
to secure for you comfortable homes, aud
compensate them for their trials by max
ing them happy by their own fresidc.-

To Purify a Room.

Set pitcher of water in room, and irr
a few hours it will absorb all the respiref
gasscs in the room, the air of which will
have become purer, but the water utterly
filthy. The colder the water the greater
capacity to contain these gasses. At or
binary temperatures pail of water viii
contain pint of carbouic acid gas and sew
vcral pints of ammonia. Tho capacity ia
nearly doubled by reducing the water to
the temperature of Ice. Hence water
kept in n room awhile is always unfit for
use.
For the same reason the water from u
pump should always be pumped out in the
morning before any of it is used. In
pure water is moro injurious than impure
air.

of several Of his friends, boastcd that he
had few days before killed large buck
by shooting him through the hoof of one
of his hind feet, the ball passing out ofthc
forehead. OF course some doubts as.t
the possibility of performing such feat
arose in the minds Of his hearers where
upon the Colonel called upon an old color
cd man, named "Bob' to verify this state
mcnt. This Bob, did by saying that as the
deer raise dc foot to scratch dc head, the
