The gold market was exceedingly dull in the
absence Of speculative interest. With the early
weakness In exchange the price declined TO 1147S,
between which point and 1l45S 1t steady all day.
The lower ruling Of the premium is due, in mea-
sure to the clearing up OF the stories regarding the
action of the Prussian Stock Exchanges with refe-

About Idle Daughters.

1t is a most painful spectacle in
families where the mother is the
drudge, to see the daughters ele-
gantly dressed, reclining at their
ease with their drawing, their mu-
sic, their fancy work, and their read
ing, beguiling themselves Of the
lapse of hours, days, and weeks and
years, never dreaming of their re-
sponsibilities, but as a necessary
consequence of neglect of duty,
growing weary of their useless lives
laying hold Of every newly invented
stimulant to rouse their energies,
and blaming their fate when they
dare not blame their God for hav-
ing placed them where they are
These individuals will often tell you
with an air of affected compassion
for who can believe it to be real?
that poor mother is working her
self to death. Yet no sooner do
you propose they should assist her
than they decl-..e she is quite in her
element; in short, that she never
would be happy if she had only half
as much to do.

The Fifth Commandment.

An old schoolmaster said, one
day, to minister who had come tC
examine his school:
Il believe the children know the
catechism word for word"
"But do they understand it? that
is the question, said the minister.
The schoolmaster only bowed re-
spectfully, and the examination be-
gan.
A little boy had repeated the fifth
commandment, "Honor thy father
and thy MOTHER" and he was desir-
ed to explain its meaning.
Instead of trying to do so, the
little boy, with his face covered with
bushes, said, almost in a whisper,
yesterday l showed some strange
gentlemen over the mountain. The
sharp stones cut my feet, and the
gentlemen saw they were bleeding
and they gave me some money to
buy me shoes. 1 gave it to my
mother for she had no shoes, and l
thought I could go barefoot better
than she could ,r
What a beautiful answer! The
little boy did indeed love and honor
his poor mother, and would have
Gods blessing for so doing.

Misspent Evenings.

The boy who spends an hour O.
each evening lounging idly on the
street corner, wastes in the course
of a single year, three hundred and
sixty five precious hours, which; il
applied to study, would familiarize
him with the rudiments, at least, o1
almost any of the familiar sciences,
If in addition to the wasting of an
hour each evening, he spends five
cents for cigar, which is usually
the case, the amount thus worse
than wasted, would pay for four OF
the leading magazines of the coun-
try. Boys, think of these things.
Think how much precious time you
are wasting, and for what? The
qualification afforded by a lounge on
the corner or by the cigar, is not on
ly temporary, but positively hurt
full. You cannot indulge in these
practices without seriously injuring
yourself. You acquire wasteful
habits, which will cling to you
through life, and grow upon you
with each succeeding year. You
may in after life shake them off, but
the probabilities are that habits
thus formed in early life, will re-
main with you to your dying day
Be cautioned then in time, and re-
solve that as the hour spent in idle
ness is gone forever, you will i'm
prove each passing one, and thereby
fit yourself for usefulness and hap
piness.

A Generous Answer,

The Oriental philosopher, Lok.
man, while slave, being presented
by his master with bitter melon
Immediately ate it all.
How was it possible" said the
master, 'for you to eat so nauseous a
fruit?' tr'...
Lokman replied, 81 have received
so many favors from you, that it is
no wonder should once in my life
cat bitter melon from your hand.'
The generous answer of the slave
struck his master to such degree.
that he Immediately gave him his
liberty.

A Spring Morning.

What man is there over whose
mind a bright spring morning does
not exercise magic influence, car
rying him back to the days of his
childish sports, and conjuring up
before him the old green field with
its gentle waving trees, where the
birds sang as he has never heard
them since; where the butterfly flut-
tered far more gaily than he ever
sees him now in all his ramblings;
where the sky seemed bluer, and the
sun shone more brightly, where the
air blew more fresh over greener
grass and sweeter smelling flowers;
where everything wore richer and
more brilliant hue than it is ever
dressed in now? Such are the deep
feelings of childhood, and such are
the impressions which every lovely
object stamps upon its heart! The
hardy. traveller wanders through the
maze of thick and painless woods,
where the SUMS rays never shone,
and heavens pure air never played;
he stands on the brink of roaring
waterfall, and, giddy and bewild-
cred, watches the foaming mass as
it leaps from stone to stone, and
from crag to crag; he fingers in the
fertile plains of land of perpetual
sunshine, and revels in the luxury
of their balmy breath. But what
are the deep forests and laundering
waters, or the richest landscapes,
bounteous nature ever spread to
charm the eyes, and captivate the
senses of men, compared with the
recollection of the old scenes of his
early youth? Magic scenes indeed;
for the fancies of childhood dressed
them in colors brighter than the
rainbow, and almost as fleeting.-

The Last Scenes in a Divorce Suit.

The following scene at the rail
road depot in that city is thus de
scribed by the st. Joseph { Missouri)
Herald, of the 10Th:
A woman with a baby six months
old in her arms, alights from an ON
nibus in the dusk of rainy evening,
when up steps gentleman, with a
quiet but firm manner, and says
"Let me take him into the cars. y
The mother resigns him with calm
indifference, to the gentleman, who
takes him into the car of the train
which is ready to start. 1t needs
no further information than is atfor-
ded by the fond caresses lavished
upon the child to know it is in the
arms of its father, and the sweet lit
tie thing is delighted, too, while the
mother sits aloof and gazes coldly
out of the window. Soon the bell
of the locomotive rings, the con-
ductor's voice is heard warning the
passengers to get on board, and the
man, kissing the baby wild kiss
places it in the lap of its mother,
whispers low goodbye" to the
woman, and leaves the car. As the
train moves off the prattling face of
the child. is seen at the window by
the father, and it's little hand is ex-
tended toward him. He touches it
a brief moment, with the remorse-
less movement of the train, which
doing the behest of hateful circum
stance, tears it away forever. The
man retires from the notice of the
crowd, his head is bowed upon his
bosom, and his great frame is sha-
ken with the weight of greater
grief. He weeps.
This scene was witnessed at the
depot last evening. 1t was the IL
nal to a divorce suit that was re-
Gently decided in our circuit court.

men.
