TABLE CONVERSATIONS will
dud that great deal Of character Is
impaired and received at the table
Parents too often forget this; aud there
fore instead of swallowing your food 10
sullen silence, instead OF brooding over
your business, instead of severely talk
ing about others, let the conversation
at the table be genial, kind, social aud
cheering. Don't bring disagreeable
things to the table in your conversation,
any more than you would in your dishes
for this re-son, too, the more good
company you hare at your table, the
better Tor your children. Every con
versation with company at your table
Is an educator to the family Hence
the intelligence and the refinement and
appropriate behaviour of family which
is given to hospitality. Never feel that
Intelligent visitors eau be anything but

company aud conversations at the table

When he came 10 this afternoon she
was uncommouly brilliant, while he was

when gcuuine, is precious gem, worth

depths within. Modesiy seeks retire
ment thus, much Of tho world and It's
pleasures are debarred from the poses

nations are also lost. What is more
shocking and disgusting than female
void of modestyi The forward manner
aud brazen face becomes more repulsive,
the more We encounter il. The want
of modesty can be no eommendable nc

and leads, in .ime, presumption and i'm

much - do with the cultivation Of md

that its freshness and purity may char

Cruelty to Animals.

The State Legislature has passed an addi-
tionai ac: for the prevention of cruelty 10
animals. This act, which extends over the
whole State, provides for the punishment Oh
any person who shall wantonly or cruelty Ill
treat. overload, beat or otherwise abuse any
animal, whether belonging to hlmseh OF
another, or who shall in any way be concern
ed in fighting or batting any bull, bear, dog,
cock or other creature. Tbe abandonment
in any public place Of any maimed, sick in
firm or disabled creature is also to be pun
ished The penalty for disobeying the law
il for the first offence fine not less than ten
nor more than twenty dollars, and for the
second, and every subsequent ofense, not
less than twenty nor more than fifty dollars.
The irformer is made competent witness,
and receives one half Of the fine, and the
county where the offense may be committed
the other half The proceedings are sum
mary, and the offender, in default of pay
ment of the fine and costs. can be commit
ted to the county prison until discharged by
due course of law, which amounts to the
three mouths required under the insolvent
laws. Wien the fine exceeds ten dollars, the
defendant may appeal to the Court of Quar-
ter Sessions, where the offense is to be pros
ecuted as misdemcanor. In aggravated
cases, the defendant may be bound over for
trial at the Quarter Sessions, where, on con-
viction, he is liable to fine not exceeding
two hundred dollars or to an imprisonment
not exceeding one year, or to both. The
necessary expenses of taking charge of ami
mails transported in an inhuman manner, or
of removing and destroying disabled crea-
lures, can be recovered from the owner in a
suit at law

make themselves familiar with the provis-
ions OF the revenue laws relating to their
particular business. Their interest requires
immediate attention to this. The internal
revenue law of July 20, 1868, provides that
on and after the Ist day of April 1869, all
cigars shall be packed in boxes not before
used, containing respectiv ly, %, 30, 100,
$50 and 500, and shall be deemed and taken
to have been manufactured or imported since
July 20, 1868, aud shall be restamped with
tax-paid stamps. Every manufacturer Of
cigars shall burn into the box, with metal
brand, his name, number of cigars, number
of his manufactory, district and State, and
shall paste thereon printed notice forbid
ding the use of that box or package again
under penalty of 500 and imprisonment,
and shall afix the stamp denotipg that the
tax has been paid Any person who shall
sell, or offer for sale, any cigars in any other
form than in new boxes, or who shall pack
in any box any cigars in excess of the nun
Der provided by law to be put in each box,
shall, upon conviction, be fined for each of
fense not less than 500 nor more than S ], 900,
and be imprisoned not less than six months
nor more than two years. The fact that ci-
gars in the hands of dealers have on the
boxes the red stamps, or any of the old stamps
denoting that the tax has been paid, will not
answer. The box must have on it the new
black tax paid stamp.
