Let Us be More ssciable.

In order to increase the sum of hui
man happiness, we should cultivate
kind and fraternal feelings one with an
other. A true life consists in something
else than simply accommodating property.
We do not and cannot "live by bread
alone" A writer in the Journal of Ag-
riculture disceurses on this subject most
beautifully as follows;
The sole object and aim of too many
individuals seems to be to get gain,
grab ALL" let the consequences be
what they may to others. The desire
to accumulate wealth, regardless of the
comfort and social happiness of our
neighbors andthe interchange of friend
ly sentiments, should be ignored. On
the other hand, we should so live and
act that the generous impulses of our
own hearts would prompt us to extend
the hand of fellowship to all our neigh.
bors and looking them squarely in the
eye, feel that glorious inward concious-
ness that we had never wronged them
in thought, word or deed. Then too, let
words of kindness be spoken; let little
deeds of love be done; let the principles
of the golden rule be exemplified in our
daily lives; let us be more sociable, and
cultivate our convivial qualities by
frequent Interchanges of friendly greet
ings at social gatherings; let no aris-
tocracy be acknowledged, save that of
the intellect; let us beautify our homes;
let US make them what they should be
by cherishing love for the beautiful,
so that
Blessings may attend us forever,
And whatever We pray for or do;
May our lives be one grand endeavor
To type the pure, the good, and the true!

Changing Clothes.

Many persons lose life every year by
an injudicious change of clothing, and
the principles involved need repetition
almost every year. Ii clothing is to be
diminished, it should be done in the
morning when first dressing. Additional
clothing may be put on at any time.
In Northern States the under garments
should not be changed for those less
heavy sooner than the middle of May /;
for even in June fire is very comforta-
BILE sometimes in New York parlor.
Woolen flannel ought to be worn next
the person, by all, during the whole year,
but a thinner material may be worn after
the first of June.
/. A blazing fire should be kept in every
family room until ten in the merning,
and rekindled again an hour before sum
down, up to the first week in June and
from the first day in October.
Particular and tidy housekeepers, by
arranging their fire-places for the sum-
mer too early, aftentimes put the whole
ger health by exposing them to sit in
chilliness for several hours every morn
ing, waiting for the weather to moderate,
rather than be put to the trouble of an
other fixing up for the summer, they ex-
pose the children to Group, aud the old
folks to the inflammation of the lungs
The old and the young delight in
warmth; it is to them the greatest lux
ury. Half the disease of humanity
would be swept from existence If the
human body were kept warm all the
time. This discomfort of cold feet, or OF
a chilly room, many have experienc ed
to their sorrow; they make she mind
peevish and fretful while they expose
the body to colds and infiamations which
sften destroy it in less than a week.

Cheerfulness.

Don't be afraid of little fun at no ne.
Don't shut up your houses lest the
sun should fade your carpets; and your
hearts. lest hearty laugh should shake
down the musty cobwebs there! IF you
want to ruin your sons, let them think
that all mirth and social enjoyment
must be left on the Threshold when
they come home at night. Young
people must have fun and relaxation
somewhere. If they do not have it at
their own hearthstones, it will be sought
in other and less profitable place. There
fore, let the fire burn brightly at night,
and make the home ever 40 delightful
with all these little arts that parents so
perfectly understand. Don't repress the
buoyant spirits of yeur children; half an
hours merriment around the lamp and
freight of home, blots out the remem :
brance of many q care and annoyance
during the day. and the best safeguard
they can take with them into the world
is the unseen Influence of bright little
domestic scene.

SOWING LITTLE SEEDs.-Littte Bessie
had got a present of a new book, and
she eagerly opened it to look at the first
picture. 1t was the picture of a boy sit
ting by the side efa stream, and throw
ing seeds into the water.
Il wonder what this picture is about, ,
said she; why does the boy throw seeds
into the water?"
80! l know said her brother Ed
ward, who had been looking at the
book: ''he is sowing the seeds of water
lilies.n
"But how small the seeds look, !" said
Bessie. ut seems strange that such
large plants should grow from such little
things"
"You are just sowing such tiny seeds
every day, Bessie, and they will come
up Large, strong plants after a WHILE"
said her father.
80, no father, 1 have not planted any
seeds for q long WHILE"
Il have seen my daughter sow a num-
ber of seeds to-day"
Bessie looked puzzled, and her father
Yes; have watched you planting
flowers, and seeds, and weeds to-day"
''NOw L know that you are joking, for
would not plant ugly weeds.n
81 will tell you what mean. When
you laid aside that interesting book, and
attended to what your mother wished
dona, you were sowing seeds of kindness
and love. When you broke the dish
that you knew your mother valued, and
came instantly and told her, you were
sowing the seeds of truth. " hen you
took the cup of cold water to the poor
woman at the gate, you were sowing
seeds of mercy. These are beautiful
flowers, Bessie. But hope my little
girl has been planting the great tree of
love to God, and that she will tend and
watch it until its branches reach the
skies and meet before His throne"
"And the weeds, father?"
when you were impatient with baby
you sowed the seeds Off temper, when
you waited some time after your mother
called you, you showed disobedience and
selfishness. These are all noxious weeds.
Pull them up. Do net let them grow in
your garden"

Concerning the Pulse.

Every intelligent person owes it to
himself to learn from his family physi-
clan how to ascertain the pulsein health;
then by comparing it with what it is
when aiIing, he may have some idea of
the urgency of his own case, and it will
be an important guide to the physician.
Parents ought to know the healthy pulse
of each child as now and then person
is borne with q peculiarly slow or fast
pulse, and the very bad case in hama
may be that popularity. An infants
pulse is l30, child of seven about 81,
and from twenty to sixty years, it is
40 beats in a minute, declining to go at
four score.
The are pulses all over the body, but
where there is only skin and bone, as at
the temples, it is more easily felt; the
wrist is the most convenient point. The
feebleness or strength of the beat is not
material, being mOliified by the fingers
pressure. Comparative rapidity is the
the great point; near death it is 140 and
over. A healthy pulse imparts to the
finger feeling of a wooden string; in
fever it feels harden like a silk thread;
jfthere is inflammation, which is always
dangerous. 1t beats fast, spiteful and
hard, as If Ii fine wire was throbbing
against the finger. When the pulse
beats irregular, as if it lost beat, then
burries to make it up, there is something
the matter with the heart. But do not
worry about it; take nothing, do nothing
except by the advice of an intelligent
physician.

The World.

The world is lying, empty pageant;

What does God bid me DO? What, in
this minute of time, which will soon be

enemies blaspheme, and friends are be-
guiled, let me stand on my watch-tower,
with the prophet, listening to what the
Lord God shall say to me-" Ia any

GIVE YOUR CHILD A PAPER.-A
child beginning to read, becomes delight.
ed with a ewspaper, because he reads
the names of things which are familiar
and he will progress accordingly. A
newspaper one year is worth quarters
schooling to any child. Every father
must consider that information is con-
nected with advancement. The mother
of a family, being one of its heads, and
having a more immediate charge Of
children, should be instructed. A mind
occupied becomes fortified against the
ills, and is braced for emergency
Children amused by reading or study are
Of course more considerate and easily
governed. How many thougbtless
young men have spent thir evenings in
tavern or grog-shop who ought to have
been reading! How many parents who
have not spent twenty dollars for books
for their families, would have given
thousands to reclaim a son or daughter,
whohad ignorantly, tnoughtlessly fallen
into temptation.

Cure for tn. Bite OF Mad p.x..

We have had several opportunities to
fully test the chloride of zinc, in solu-
ton, in such cases, and so far as we are
aware, we were the first to use this
agent. 1t may be said that if the per-
sons who had been bitten by dogs and
had been subjected to its use did not
have hydrophobia, the dogs were not
mad" Under some circumstances it
might be difficult to disprove this prop
ositian, but We do not propose TO enter
into an argument upon the subject, but
to make plain statement of facts. In
one case where three men were bitten
by the same dog, at the same time, we
subjected two to the use of the zinc.-
They are both living at the present time,
although this occurred several years
since, while the third man, who was
not treated in this way, died of hydro
phobia on the fourteenth day. In an
other case a gentleman, as we'll as a
cow and horse, were bitten at the same
time by a rabid dog. We treated the
man with the zinc; he still lives, while
the COW and horse both died within fif-
teen days. We might give many other
cases illustrative of the efficacy of this
treatment, but we consider these suffi-
cient. The method which we employ is
as follows: Make saturated solution of
the chloride of zinc, and as soon as pos
sible after the injury is sustained inject
this into any or all the wounds made by
the teeth Of the animal; let it be done
with a small syringe and with sufficient
force to bring the solution in contact
with sAery portion Of the punctuIed or
abraded tissue. This should be repeated
the second day, after which apply the
water dressing until all the parts which
have been subjected tn the zinc slough
out. Then the wound should be allowed
to heal under the ordinary dressing,
which will be effected if there has not
been much laceration of the parts in
from ten to fifteen days. AS an internal
we use the carbonate of ammo
mia, ten grains to the half pint of water,
this quantity to be taken daily for twen-
ty days. The longest time which had
elapsed from the time the person was
bitten until the above means were used
was four hours, yet we are of the opinion
that this would antidote the poison even
ten or fifteen hours after the injury, for
the reason that the zinc in any form
when brought in contact with an abrad-
ed tissue will act upon parts quite remote
from the part injured, and will, if taken
up by the absorbents, antidote the poison
which may have permeated the whole
system many hours previous.-LE Eclectic
Medical Journal.

The Thr.e ..T.ntien..,

gentleman and two little children.
could not help hearing the remarks he
was making to them, which were spo-
ken in pleasant and loving manner.
"Be sure" said he, "you do not forget
the three Tentions: Intention, Attention,
and Retention."
We might apply these "tentisns,"
with much instruction in 6 variety of
ways, but children, at schoorin partic-
ular, may profit much by remembering
them. Let us take ''intentin" first. II
a boy has a sum to work out, or lesson
to learn by heart, he will not be likely
to succeed unless he goes at 1t with q
will, or unless he ''intends" to do it.
Secondly, Attention" II he is to
succeed, boy must withdraw his
thoughts from tops, balls, kites, and
such like: he must not chatter with his
schosl-fellows, but ne must, for the
time, give his whole mind, or "aitend"
TO the lesson before him.
Thirdly, "Retention.n 1t is of little
use to learn any thing unless we re-
member Il, or s'retainr it in the mind.

The Right Sort of Agitation.

The New York Examiner and Chron
icle, a leading and very influential organ
of the Baptist denomination, closes {
strong article on the question of polite:
and temperance, as follows:
The Temperance question is An emf
nently practical one. The ravages OF
intemperance, in all their CHASTITY hor-
ror, confront the eye and sicken the
heart on. every hand. But it is one OF
those evils that cannot be legislated out
of existence, unless behind the legisla-
ton lies vast, controlling moral senti-
ment, bearing it up and giving it force.
Before the Temperance men of this State
can hope for the passage and execution
the latter is the more difficult task OF
the twe-of thorough prohibitory laws,
such a sentiment must be created. Ii
can. be created only by persistent, we'll
directed, prayerful a0ork. There is no
legislative 'short cut" to reforms that
take hold of mems lives and habits
Dabbling in politics, bargaining with
party schemers, grasping at the "balance
OfpOwer," but fritter away the strength
that is all needed to forward the grand
result. Whenever, and only when, the
prepOnderating sentiment of the people
is for the suppression by law of the iniq-
uitOus traffic in poison for body and soul,
will it be possible to carry such meas
ure into effectiv operation. The great
need now is for Christian temperance
revival.

The Society or Friens,s.

The Society of friends has been re-
ported to be dying out, but according to
their official statement this does not ap-
pear to be the case. At the Just ending
yearly meeting of the Orthodox body in
New York it was reported that their
numbers had increased about 1,5OO
during the past year, and there are signs
of renewed activity and vigor in the
body which give promise of a long life
tenure. The interest taken in Sunday
schools is a good evidence of this, as well
as the the decline of exclusiveness, as
shown by resolution at the late yearly
meetings of the society, that the busi-
ness meetings of the society should not
be restricted to members alone, but that
any persons interested in their proceed
ings might attend.
There are twelve independent yearly
meeting of Friends, that of London,
where the records are preserved from
the year 1872, being the oldest. The
number of members in England is 13, sis,
while there is an attendance of nom
members to the number of $3.50. There
is one yearly meeting in Ireland, one in
Canada and nine in the United States,
phia, Baltimore, North Carolina, Ohio,
The increase of membership has been
rapid oflate years in the South and West,
and new settlements of Friends are
forming in Kansas and Missouri. The
total mem moership is estimated at about
$1,000. First Day schools have been
largely established in the West. In the
state of Indiana alone there are 17S such
schools, with 1,121 teachers and 1923
pupils. In South Carolina a Sunday
Normal school has been established.
The Friends have three colleges i'm this
country, viz: Haverford College, in
Pennsylvania Earlham College, in Rich
mond, Ind; and Whittier College, at
Salem, in Iowa.
They have also large boarding houses
at West Town, Pa; Providence, r. I.
Union Springs, n. Y; New Garden, n
c.; and ether places.

BE KIND.-Little Robert was a play
ful, intelligent boy. He did nothing BY
halves. If he studied, he did it with all
his might, and was sure to be at the
head of his class. Yet he was gentle
and affectionate, He had a famous dog,
who shared all his sports, and seemed as
happy in them as his master. Lion, for
that was his name, would take Roberts
dinner basket in his mouth, and carry
it carefully and safely; and he would
defend his master from rude boys, as if
he were his guardian. The boy grew
up to be man, and he became a minis
ter of the Gospel. He has often been
head to say that he could not trust 8
boy who was unkind to animals. God
made them for our service; net for cruel
sport
