The little town OF Commerce, in Scot,
county, Missouri, lying Insight ofTbebes,
Is putting on the airs Of a city. Fifteen
years ago the place presented an appear
ance OF dilapidation, dullaess and decay
that was Ia exact keeping with her char.
acter In moral view. The advent OF a
printing ONCE since the close Of the war,
and its labors for the locality have, In n
great measure, revolutonized society.
We hear now ofSabath schools In Com

Chinese Customs.

The magistrates in China are al
most the only people who are mas
ters of the art show not to do it. "
1t is dangerous for a person not a
relative of the deceased to touch or
even be found near dead body. A
relative may come up and charge
him with the murder; and whether
there is a particle of evidence of
guilt or not, the magistrate will be
sure to make the accused party
bleed-or, in the language of this
country, will squeeze" him to the
extent of his ability to pay. So the
person not a.relative, found nearest
a murdered man, at the moment a
murder is found to have been COM
mitted, is often executed as the
murderer.
A curious instance of the effect
that this has ON the people is shown
by an occurrence which took place
at Hong Kong a few months since:
An English sailor was in Chinese
boat in the busy harbor, and he sud-
denly fell overheard. The owners
of the boat who were carrying him
screamed and struck out with their
oars to get as far as possible away
from the spot. Such was the con-
sternation of the Chinese at the
thought of being charged with the
murder of an Englishman, that no
one dared to venture to the poor
fellows relief and he sank,
When an undertaken is about to
close the coffin of dead man, he
never drives the first nail into it,
but the eldest son, OF the oldest liv-
ing male representative of the de-
ceased, steps forward and drives it
home. This is to secure the under
taker against the possible charge in
future of having buried a living
person; it is the official acknowledge
ment of the family that their rela-
tive is dead. Then the oldest son,
or other male representative, takes
the plate of nails, and getting down
on his knees, walks on them around
the coffin, handing one at a time to
the undertaken, who drives it home.

Printers Devils.

Miss Phinney W. Forsythe, who
is practical printer herself, has
made the following happy and ap-
propriate notice of so-called printers
devils:
"a great many persons are in the
habit of looking upon and speaking
of printers devils in manner that
reflects no credit to themselves.
Those same printers, in nine cases
out of ten, are three times as well
posted on the issues of the day as
those who speak lightly of them.
There is no class of boys for whom
We have a more profound respect
than well behaved printers devils.
They know something and are prac-
tical, which is more than you can say
of all classes of boys. In that re
spect we place the boys who work
in printing Office head and should
ers above most of boys. Young
woman, before you again elevate
that delicate nose at the approach
of a printers devil, get some one
who knows something of history, to
tell you the names of some charac-
ters that were once printers devils"

THE DYING WIFE.

Raise my pillow, husband, dearest,
Faint and fainter comes my breath.
And those shadows stealing slowly.
Must, know, be those of death.
Sit down close beside me. darling.
Let me clasp your warm, stiong hand.
. Yours that ever has sustained me
To the borders of this land.
For your God and mine-our Father
Thence shall ever lead me on,
Where upon throne eternal,
Sits his loved and only son;
Eve had visions and been dreaming
Der tine past of joy and pain;
Year by year I've wandered backward
Till was a child again.
Dreams of girlhood and the moment
When stood your wife and bride
How my heart thrilled with loves triumph
In that hour of woman's pride.
Dreams of thee and all the earth-chords
Firmly twined about my heart
Oh! the bitter, burning anguish,
When first knew We must part.
IL mas passed-and God mas promised
All thy footsteps to attend;
He that's more than friend and brother.
He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow DER the portal
Leading to my heavenly home
Christ has promised life immortal.
And tits he that bids me come.
When life's trials wait around thee,
And its chilling pillows swell,
Thourt thank Heaven that Pm spared them,
Thoul't then feel that ''all is we'll"
Bring our boys unto my bedside,
Ny last blessing let them keep.
But they're sleeping-do not wake them.
They'll learn soon enough to weep.
Tell them often of their mother.
Kiss them for me when they wake:
Lead them gently in life's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer, darling,
This, the last night of my life.
For tomorrow shall never
Answer when you call me "wife,"
Then, farewell, my noble husband,
Faint not meath the chast'ning rod;
Throw your strong arms round our children
Keep them close to thee-and God.

Last Survivor of the Wyoming Massacre.

Amos Adams, who died recently
at Winchester, n. H., aged 96, was
probably the last survivor of the
Wyoming massacre. Though only
five years old at the time of the
event he never forgot its scene of
horror. His fathers family. with
twenty-six men and about three hun
dred women and children. had taken
refuge in fort. With the promise
that their lives should be spared,
the fort was surrendered without
firing a gun. The Tories and In
dians rushed in with bloody hands,
and the scalps of their neighbors
dangling from their belts and with
packs of plumber. Those who sur
rendered were stripped of clothing
and food and were told to leave
the settlement at once. The Adams
family consisted of five-the father,
mother and three children. The
youngest was q babe, which the
mother was obliged to carry in her
arms, the next had to be carried by
the father, while Amos was com
PEELED to walk. Between them and
aid lay trackless Wilderness of one
hundred and fifty miles. They sub
sisted on roots and berries, slept
without shelter and endured the
agony of constant fear. At length |
q remnant of them reached Fish
kill, on North River, the five year
old Amos and his family among the
fortunate number.

Marriage Maxims.

The following marriage maxims"
are worthy of more than a hasty
reading. Husbands need not pass
them by, for they are designed for
wives; and wives should not despise
them, for they are addressed to hus-
bands:
The very nearest approach to do
mestic happiness on earth is the
cultivation on both sides of abso-
lutte unselfishness.
Never talk at one another, either
alone or in company.
Never both be angry at once.
Never speak loud to one another,
unless the house is on fire.
Let each one strive to Weld the
oftenest to the wishes of the other.
Never find fault unless it is per-
fectly certain that fault has been
committed; and always speak low
ingly.
Never taunt with past mistake.
Neglect the whole world besides
rather than one another.
Never make q remark at the ex-
pense of each other; it is a mean
ness.
Never part for a day without low
ing words to think of during alb
sence.
Never meet without a loving vel
come.
Never let the sun go down upon
any anger or grievance.
Never let any fault you have com
mitted go by until you have frankly
confessed it and asked forgiveness.
Never forget the happy hours of
early love.
Never sigh over what might have
been, but make the best of what is.
Never forget that marriage is or
lained Of God, and that His bles-
iings alone can make it what it
hould be.
Never let your hopes stop short
# the eternal home.

WHICH WAY THE WIND BLEW.

I.
The wind came up, the wind came down,
And over the garden wall;
Why should pretty maiden frown
If lover choose to call2
The ruffled roses bowed their heads
In shower Of fragrant dew;
But under the skies you couldn't surmise
Which way the sweet wind blew.
It's hey, for tossing buds and leaves
When the winds of morning blowl
Tell us how long lover grieves
When a maiden answers-Noi
For another step was 1T the gate
And the hearts that met were true;
By many a sign, you could divine
Which way the sweet wind blew.

THE LESSON.

Ihave alluded to these financial
facts in our own history, in contrast
with other nations, that | might,
from them, derive certain hints, for
all our people of all parties, of very
great practical value, as calculated
to increase our admiration of our
own country's greatness of resource
and power; and especially to recon
cileus to the financial administra-
tion of General Grant. First of all,
our revenues are greater, in gold,
than those of Great Britain by thir-
ty-three millions Of dollars per year,
