Marry Her First.

Many years ago, in what is now a
fourishing city, lived a stalwart black.
smith, fond of his pipe and his Joke.
He was also fond Of his blooming
daughter, whose many graces had en-
shared the affections of young prin-
ter. The couple, after a session Of bill
ing and cooling, "engaged themselves, p
and nothing but the consent of the
young Iady's parents prevented their
union. To obtain this an Interview
was arranged, and the typo prepared a
little speech to admonish and convince
the old man, who sat enjoying his
pipe in perfect content. The typo di-
lated on the fact of their long friend
ship, their mutual attachment, their
hopes for the future, aud like topics /;
and taking the daughter by the hand,
he said; 81 am now, sir, to ask your
permission to transplant this lovely
flower from its parent bed"-but his
feelings over came him, and he for
got his oratOrieal flourish, stammered,
and finally wound up with, "frOm its
parental bed into my own" The
father keenly relished this discomf-
ture ef the suitor, and removing his
pipe and blowing cloud, replied +:
"Well, young man, 1 do MT know
that have any objection, provided
you marry the girl first!"

Nc GenfIeman I'D Church.

The gentleman at church is known by
the following marks:
1. Comes in good season, so as neither
to interrupt the pastor nor the eongrega-
ton by late arrival.
2. Does not stop upon the steps or on
the porticO, neither to cape at the ladies,
salute friends, or display his cOllOquial

ly and by making as few people remove as
possible.
4. Takes his place either in the back
part of the seat, or steps out into the aisle
when any one wishes to pass in, and never
thinks of such thing as making people
crowd past him while keeping his place in
the seat.
5. Is always attentive to strangers, and
gives up his seat to such, seeking another
for himself
8. Never thinks of defiling a house of
God with tobacco spittle, or annoying
those who sit near him by chewing that
nauseOus weed in church.
Z. Never, unless in case of illness, gets
up or goes out during time Of SERVICE

fore the service.
9. Does not whisper, or laugh, or eat
fruit in the house Of God, or lounge in that
holy place.

How Girls Should be Educated,
The following extract from DR.. By
ford's "Philosophy Of Domestic Life"
is worthy of the consideration Of alp
parents:
The education Of the woman should
be thoroughly domestic, as she is to
be the centre OF the home circle, and
the conductor Of domestic affairs. Her
education in business should not be
wholly neglected in fact, the better
business education she has, the more
thoroughly win she be prepared to
conduct the relations Of the family to
the community. But, I think, all
viii agree with me, that woman
rises in value the more exalted are
her domestic virtues. I fear I may
not be understood in that expression.
I do not mean by domestic virtues
merely hoHseWifery, but all the in
diligence. goodness Of heart, gentle
ness, truthfulness, patience, and love-
ableness, that endear her to the fam
lily, and sanctify her influence upon,
the husband aud children. She
should be imbued especially with ten
derEess and unselishness- Her home
duties should be paramount in all her
education, and she should be bred IL
nearly as possible in harmony with
her nature.
Unfortunately, the education, OF
rather teaching, Of the femalts of our
times ignores, the domesticq qualities Of
her nature almost wholly neither is
she to be allowed to know anything
about business; her whole infancy,
childhood and adolescence are taken
up with social requirements. The ac-
cOmplishments are the only essential
parts Of her education, as demanded by
society as now constituted. She learns
to show herself off to the best adVantJ
age, and hide everything other imper-
fectiOns. The little girl, the young
lady, and to some extent the matrOn,
in good society, are taught the orna-
mental, not the useful occupations.
From the time she can see gaudy
cOlOrs and bright ornaments, the lit
tie girl is bedecked in such apparel as
is calculated to make her vain. She
soon learns to esteem her personal
beauty as the means Of securing the
desirable objects I have mentioned.
She almost instinctively learns to shun
everything menial, Orin other words,
useful-fOr it is a singular fact that
the menial are the useful arts oflife-
Jas, if not beneath her, at least irk-
some. She learns tOregard family du-
ties with contempt. Very many
young ladies feel humbled at having
been caught in the kitchen, and apollo
gize for the uncOmely position; in
deed, have heard them boast Of not
knowing how to prepare the planet
repast, or, mend the most familiar gar
ment. They desire it understood that
they were bred ladies, and brought
up in idleness or leisure.

The World has discovered an open

this city, it says, is badly aduIteratpd
with 'sfusiI oil' and other baneful in

Of American Whisky and drugs. This,
it says, is the fault of the Tariff We
have a high duty on French Brandy;

Now there are few persons at all f8-

write Home.

There can be no excuse for any
young man who never writes home,
or whose letters to the old folks there
whose dreams are ever of their son
ARE few and far between, and not
worth much even when obtained. 1t
is sad to think, that there are young
men who let weeks and months pass
away without letter to their parents,
or their brothers or their sisters-who,
when they do write, only send a line
or two, with some lame excuse for
their not doing more; a line or. two
saying nothing, just containing sOme
stereotyped statement, or vague ut
teraRce, which gives no information.
Why, the valne Of letter from a
young man to the far-off town or viii
lage home, consists in its little de
tails; its afectionate gossip; its &C,
count Of any circumstance or incident
that may have promises in it Of ad-
vantage; its story of hopeful struggle,
Of dawning success; or its reference to
new-formed friendships,-to books
read, churches attended, lectures lis
tened to, with a thousand things be-
sides, which may be small in them
selves, but which show an interest in
the home circle, and manifest the
beating of ''the chiId's heart within
the MANS" Young men are not
aware what pain they may infIict by
apparent neglect; how letters, brief
and infrequent, may give rise to fear
and doubt, and occasion anxious days
and wakeful nights. Don't seem in
different to your own family, as if all
your interest were transferred to
strangers. Keep the chain of commu-
nication bright by use, and write
freely and fully, with unrestrained
confidence, that it may be felt that
there is no blight on the affections nor
error in the life, which is too often
the cause Of that lapse in flial or fra
ternal correspondence. which, though
the result also at times of mere
thoughtlessness, is always unkind and
sometimes cruel.

Can consumption be Cured?


This reads very much like the head
ing of a patent medicine advertise
ment, but it is nothing of the sort.
We write it for the purpose of quo
ting the following valuable directions
and reflections at the close Of DR.. Bow
ditch's two papers on Consumption in
America, in the last two numbers of
the Atlantic Monthly:
q. Never allow any one to sleep in
the same bed with a eOnsumptive.
"2. If possible, let the attendant or
friend sleep in an adjacent room,
within easy call, rather than in the
same room.
$50. Never let one sister q. e. one
of the same hereditary tendencies }
sleep with another who is tubercu-
lous. n
n Always have paid nurse to
attend to the mere drudgery of the
sick room.
80. As this will often be impossible,
let the attendant be sure to 20 out not
less than twice daily, aud fill her
lungs with pure air, or at least with
air different from chat OF the sick
room. . ...
ave conclude, as we began, iu
hope; and for final statement lay
down the following as our medical
faith on this important question:
When all men and women live in
properly placed and rightly construct
ed houses, and at all times attend
carefully to the hygienic laws Of mind
and body, in themselves and their off
spring, then will consumption, like
many kindred evils, be wholly eradi-
Gated, or made comparatively harm
less in its influence on the human
race"

How to Treat &c BIC of q Doe.

How to Treat the Bite Of q Dog.
DR.. Stephen Ware, Of Boston, in his
testimony in a recent case which grew
out Of the injuries from the bite of a
dog, where the teeth of the animal
penetrated the flesh, whether the dog
was known to be mad OF not, said he
should use the same precautions. He
would wash the wound with warm
water, extract all the virus possible
by sucking the wound with his lips,
and then cauterizing it deeply with
the caustic most readily obtained, but
should use potash if it could be pro-
cured at once. The time in which
the effects Of the bite of a mad dog
would be seen, varied from two to
three days to as many years, but if no
effects we're felt after two or three
months, as a general thing, the patient
might consider himself safe. Bites
made through clothing are seldom
productive Of much harm, as, even if
the dog is mad, the clothing absorbs
the virus before the teeth reach the
flesh. Almost all the fatal eases are
where the person was bitten on some
naked part.

At Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, some
quarry men found imbedded, in the
solid granite rock, the remains of a hu-
man being Of gigantic stature. About
seven feet below the surface of the
ground, and about three feet and a
half beneath the upper stratum of
rock, the remains were found imbed-
ded In the sand, which had evidently
been placed in the quadraugular grave
which had been dug out of the solid
rock to receive the remains Of the an
te-diluvian giant. The grave was
twelve feet in length, four feet wide,
and about three feet in depth, and is
to-day at least two feet below the
present level Of the river. The re-
mains are completely petrifed, and
are Of gigantic dimensions. The head
is massive, measures thirty-one and a
half inches in circumference, but low
in the os fronts, and very fat on top.
The Femur measures tWenty-six and
a quarter inches, and the Fibula
twenty-five and a quarter inches, while
the body is equally high in proportion.
From the crown Of the head to the
sole of the foot the length IS ten feet
nine and a half inches. The measure
around the chest is ffty-nine and a
half inches. The giant must have
weighed at least nine hundred pounds
when covered with a reasonable
amount Of flesh. The petrihed re-
mains-and there is nothing left but
the naked bones, now weigh three
hundred and three pounds and a half.
The thumb and fingers of the leh
hand, and the left foot from the ankle
to the toes, are gone, but ali the other
