DON'T BE ExTRAvAGANT.-Ifth the

buy what you don't need.
Before you pay three cents for .
jewsharp, my boy, ascertain whether
you don't make just as unpleasant a
noise by whistling, for which nature
furnishes the machinery. And before
you pay SIS for coat, young man, find
out whether your lady love would not
be just as glad to see you in one that
would cost half the money. IF she
would not, let her crack her own halle
nuts and bay her own clothes.
When you see man spending two or
three dollars week foolishly, the chances
are i've to one he'll live long enough to
know how many cents are in dollar,
and if he don't he is pretty sure to be-
queath that privilege to his widow.
When man asks you to buy that fol
which you have no use, no matter how
cheap it is, don't say yes until you are
sure that some one else wants it in ad
vance

The politest people in the world are
not the French, but the Jews. They
are maltreated and reviled in many
countries they are dispoiled of many
privileges and social rights, yet they
are everywhere polite, affable and in.
sinuating. They are remarkable for
industry and perseverance; indulge in
few recriminations are faithful to old
associations; respectful to the prejudi-
ces Of others, not more worldly-minded
or money-loving than people generally
are, and, everything considered, they
surpass other nationalities in courtesy,
affability and forbearance; few persons
excel in address bright and polished
jew. There is DO rusticity among that
people. The difficulty is that they are
to generally judged by their lowest
classes. To judge a nation fairly, we
must take the persons of average intel
ligence and position. The highest and
the lowest are very much alike all the

An Awful story.

There was once an awful little girl
who had an awful way of saying awful
to everything. She lived in an awful
house: in an awful street in an awful
village, which was an awful distance
from any other awful place. She went
to an awful school, where she had an
awful teacher, who gave her awful les
sons out of awful books. Every day
she was so awful hungry that she eat an
awful amount of food, so that she looked
awful healthy. Her hat was awful small
and her feet were awful large. She
went to an awful church and her min
lister was an awful preacher. When she
took an awful walk she climbed awful
hills, and when she got awful tired she
sat down under an awful tree to rest
herself. In summer she found the
weather awful hot, and in winter, awful
cold. When it didn't rain there was
an awful drouth, and when the awful
drouth was over there was an awful
rain. So that this awful girl was all
the time in an awful state, and if she
don't get over saying lawful abou
everything, am afraid she will, by ant
by, come to an awful end.-Exchange

Feminine Eace.painting.

The mystifying fact belonging to face

themselves to it, do not paint to deceive
No one can be in the near neighborhood
of such face and not know that it is

people are stippled blue by nature. II
is not, then, done to deceive, but because

ture. Some women would rather be
artificial than real. Can their be any.
thing in this world more astonishing
Let the fact be chronicled and kept
Let the deed be considered and pro.
nounced upon. We are not going to
say here that the practice is ugly in its
results There is undoubtedly strange
sort of beauty in the performance. But
is this unreality to be admired and en-.
couraged I? if face painting is on the
increase in this country, are we to be
glad, or sorry, or Indifferent? How
can We be Indifferent? How can We be
Indifferent when every hour of every
day men and women are forming opin-
ions of each other which are to influence
all future life? The subject is SO sug.
gestive that questions multiply under
our pen. Who are the assisting powers
in this great work of face decoration ?
Can it be true that fine lady who re-
fuses to acquiesce in the work of her
Creator can trust her maid to color her
into something else !? We know how
the thorough paced lady's maid enjoys
dressing "her lady"-if it be not too
curious an inquiry, who paints her ?
Up to this period it has been supposed
that one part of women's rights is to be
worshipped. Are the ladies going to
exchange worship for wonder? Are they
going to prefer being looked at to being
loved? These last are really great
questions that belong to our subject.
Let ladies who contemplate painting
stay their hands till they are honestly
answered.-Questionable Faces.

KEROSENE ACCOMPLISHMENTS a dav

KEROSENE ACCIDENTS a day
passes but we read accounts of frightful
accidents from kerosene lamps exploding
and killing or soaring for life, women and
children. A simple knowledge of the
inhammable nature Of the fluid would
probably put a stop to all such accidents.
AS the oil burns down in the lamp, a
highly inAammable gas gathers over its
surface, and as the oil decreases the gas
increases. When the oil is nearly con.
sumed light jar will often inhame the
gas, and an explosion is sure to follow,
causing, in many cases, death and destruc-
ton. A bomb>shell is not more to be
dreaded. Now, if the lamp is not allowed
to burn more than half way down, such
accidents are almost impossible. Always
fill your lamps every morning; then you
scarcely need fear an explosion.

The Press.
In a sermon on Thanksgiving Day,
by the Rev. Mr.. Leaken, rector of the
Trinity (EpiscopaD Church, Baltimore,
he said:
II shall reserve the remainder of my
remarks to subject which is rarely al
luded to in the pulpit, but which is ex-
crcising a most important influence
upon every state, city, village, county
and family of our union. l refer to
the press-thc newspaper-which from
the smallest beginning, luxury to the
favored few, has become indispensable
to millions, and whose power in forming
public sentiment is undesirable.
To illustrate remotely the influence
of this power, suppose person Of intel
ligence coming to your house every
morning. He informs you of all that
has occurred in your city, in your coun-
try, in Europe or distant Asia. He
gathers the details of each interesting
event, he attends each important meet
ing, and tells you what was said and
done. In rain and tempest in summer
and winter, does this person pay you
his daily visits; and not only does he
bring you information, but he gives you
his opinion on each question as it arises
In time he becomes one of you; he is
identified with your family; and the
character of yourself and those around
you has been moulded by this constant
contact.
But the newspaper does more. 1t
brings you hundred different articles,
besides advertisements. 1t can be read
at leisure. Its information reaches
children, and is read by servants. 1t
forms the subject of conversation and
plies its ceaseless visits to your home,
instructive, entertaining and interesting
to all. Have / over estimated the force
of this mighty engine The French
Encyclopedias helped produce the
French Revolution by the means of
ponderous books reaching the learned
few.
What influence must the modern press
exert scattering its myriad thoughts
among the millions! How noble the
ministry of the editor How vast his
capacity for good or evil I! He may en-
ter the family daily and diffuse cheer
fulness by his diversified thoughts. He
may dry the tear of sorrow, arrest the
young man in his downward career and
shield the humble and defenceless
against the invasion of power. We have
prayed for the President of the United
States, and for all in authority-for our
senate and house of representatives in
congress assembled, and shall we forget
those who make our presidents and de-
termine our representatives ?"
