THE WoRD WmHoGT tho Blow II
remember, says writer, when a boy
how one Of our neighbors always ex-
cited wonder, by his manner Of driving
oxen There was none Of the loud
shouting and hallooing, the hourishing
and cracking Of whips, that / was &C.
customed tosee in others but he walk
cd quietly by their side, or rode in his
seat never raising his voice above it's
usual tone, never speaking second
time; bnt whether he wished them 60
advance On stop, turn 10 the right or 10
the left, he gave the appropriate word
as be would speak 10 YOU or me; and
what most Of all upset my IDEAS Of the
requisites Of a teamster was, they al.
ways obeyed him. Whether the load
was hight or heavy, whether hauling
stones or uprooting stumps, twas an
the same; they girded their stout necks
to the yoke with a right good will, ~
though they had found master for
whom duty was pleasure aud law.

She raised her beautiful eyes, but
they could not bear my look Of admir-.

The custom of marrying very Young
prevails IN EcIudor, and Students often
times marry before they have complet-
cd their studies. Ii is not uncommon
for these boy husbands after few
months struggle with poverty. to
retdrn their wives to their parents on
account OF being unable to support
them. The risk, howerer, Of being thus
diccarded does not priyent the girls
from trying matrimonial life as early as
possible. The fee for solemnizing a
marriage between white people is ten
dollars between the mixed breeds six
dollars, and between Indians or negroes
three dollars. The poorer classes are
often unable to pay these fees, and SO
live together without being married -
The Indians are strongly attached to
their wives, but they treat them with
great cruelty. The Women, however
take very kindly to beatings, and a
British officer, who once protected an
Indian woman from most cruel beat
ing, was rebuked by the woman for his
interference with the remark, "He ID
my husband and has right to beat me
The fees exacted by the clergy for
bunals, like the marriage fees depend
upon the race Of the corpse, and the
fees for the three classes previously
mentioned are twenty dollars, SIX dollars
and three dollars. Prayers said over
the body are made an extra charge and
there must be fees paid for singing and
various other things. For children un-
der ten years Of age, the fees for burials
are SIX dollars, three dollars and one
dollar The Spaniari shrinks with hor-
ror from the idea Of being buried like
Indians, aud for the purpose of keep
ing up the distinctions Of race these nm
equal ices are continued. F,om Hqs-

WHAT Coon NEWSPAPER MAY Do =
Show us an intelligent family of BOYS
and girls, and we viii show you family
where newspapers and periodicals are
plenty. Nobody who has been without
these silent private tutors can know
their educating power for good or evil
Have you ever thought Of the innumer-
able topics Of discussion which they
suggest at the breakfast table; the i'm
portant public measures with which.
thus early, our children become ac-
quanted; great phllanthropic questions
Of the day, to which uncosciously their
attention is awakened and the general
spirit Of intelligence which is involved
by these quiet yisitors2 Anything that
makes home pleasant, cheerful and
chatty, thins the haunts OF vice, and
the thousand and one avenues Of temp
tatiou, should certainly be regarded
when We consider the influence on the
minds Of youth, as a great moral and
social light.

without exercising Is against the laws
Of nature, and yerY soon the stomach
refuses to digest the food. the body Is

Sellishness eats into the nature like

can't pass, | replied; my orders are
