Men and women make their own

ty which only comes to perfection in
old age. Grace belongs to no one
period of life, and improves the long

Rules for Skating,


We take pleasure in publishing the
following excellent and carefully pre-
pared rules for skating:
L. Never try to skate in two direc-
tons at once. This feat has often been
attempted by new beginners but new
er successfully. 1t always ends in
sorrow.
.. Eat a few apples for refresh
ment's sake while skating, and be sure
to throw cores on the ice for fast skat-
ers to break their shins over. Fast
skaters are your enemies and should
not be allowed to enjoy themselves
peaceably.
3. Sit down occasionally, no matter
where-right in the way of theparty,
if you want to. There is no law to
prevent a new beginner from sitting
down whenever he has an inclination
to do so.
4. When you meet a particularly
handsome lady, try to skate on both
sides of her at once. This is very
pretty, and sure to create a sensation.
If the lady's big brother is in sight it
is well TO omit this.
). Skate overall small boys at once.
Knock 'em down. 1t makes great
fun-and they like it.
6. If you skate into n hole in the
ice, take it coolly. Think how you
would feel if the water was boiling
hot.
4. If your skates are too slippery
buy anew pair. Keep on buying new
pairs till you find a pair that are not
slippery.
s. In sitting down do it gradually.
Do not be toosudden; you might break
the ice.
8. When you fall headlong exam
inc the straps of your skates before
you rise; then everybody will think
that you fell because your skates had
become loose. Beginners all do this
you know.
10. e a heavy Overcoat or cloak
till you get thoroughly warmed up,
and then throw itoff, and letthe wind
cool you. This will give you a cold
that Will last as long as you live.
II. After you get so that you can
skate tOlerably well, skate yourself
sick Immediately. Don't be reasona-
bic about it-skate three or four hours,
skate frantically-skate till you can't
stand up. Do this every day, and it
will be sure to make you sick at last;
and then you may die, and that will
be excellent; it will be such a good
example to the rest of the young peO-
pie,

The worth of a thing, it is often said,
is what it will bring. This is not al
ways true. Thus, a worthless hus-
band brings contempt upon his fami-
ly; a wastful wife brings quite too
much finery to her wardrobe a fast
man brings up with a jerk and a
frisky horse brings you to the ground.

How THE THISTLE SAVED Scot
LAND.-The following is related as the
origin of the use of the thistle as the
national emblem of Scotland:
When the Danes invaded Scotland
they awaited themselves of the pitch
darkness of night to attack the Scotch
forces unawares. In approaching the
Scotch camp unobserved, marching
barefooted to prevent their tramp be-
ing heard, one of the Danes trod upon
a large prickley thistle, and the sharp
cry of pain which he instantly utter
ed, suddenly apprised the Scots of
their danger, who Immediately ran to
their arms, and defeated the foe with
great slaughter, The thistle was
theneefOrward adopted as the nation
al insignia of Scotland.

1t IS estimated that the total produc-
ton of grain in the United States for
the current year will amount to four
teen hundred millions of bushels. OF
this, wheat comprises nearly five hun
dred millions of bushels, and corn
about seven hundred millions flush
els. This vast product is now being
collected, in the Northern States, prin-
cipally, and moved to points of con-
sumption, traffic, and export. In this
grain movement all the means of car
rage in the country are being used ex-
tensively, and, in some cases, are
deemed entirely insufficient.

Franklin Island Light.
SoUTH CHINA, Sept. 9TH, 1870.


DEAR Journal While visiting the light
house on Franklin Island, the following notes
were taken which owing to lack of time, are
not as full as they would otherwise have been.
We started from Davis point at A. NJ. in
the schooner Canton, and beat down to the
| Island, distance of seven miles, arriving
there at o'clock. We were kindly received
by the light keeper, Mr.. J. w. Farrar, who
showed us about the Island and explained his
duties and other matters connected with the
Ii hit, as fully as our limited stay would per
nit. He has kept the light for nine years,
and during all this period of time has not been
censured for any lack in the performance Of
his duties. He is obliged to keep record of
all expenditures, and make quarterly and
yearly returns of the same; keep record of
| all passing vessels, whether they be ships
schooners, brigs or barques. There is land
enough in the Island to furnish pasturage for
a cow and Il few sheep, besides cutting hay
for a winters supply, and raising potatoes for
his own use. He cannot leave the Island ex-
cept few hours during the day. He is pro-
| Nlueu Will Il mouse, DUdt anu olhcI iIeteSsd-
ries, which with his salary amounts to $500
per year. The leisure hours of the day he
spends in fishing, which nearly or quite sup
ports his family. Everything about the Is
land is kept with the greatest care, the point
of neatness being carried to the extreme. He
informed us that the first tower was built in
1906. ana was q wooden structure. 1t was
destroyed and rebuilt of stone, but did not
stand long. The present tower was erected
in 1885, is a brick structure painted white
and think he said it is seventy FIVE feet from
the ground to the light. We mounted up to
the light by an iron stairway. arranged spiral
| ly. This light. he Informed US, is French
inyention and took two generations to bring
it to its present state OF perfection. 1t re-
wolves once during the space of three minutes,
and gives bright flash every minute and a
half. The flash is produced by the form of
glass, which is ground on opposite sides in the
form of bulls eye The clock which
keeps the light turning, and the lenses, cost
Sl200. The greatest care is taken that no
dust even to the minutest quantity gather
| upon the lenses. Livery morning the Hight Is
| put out, the lenses cleaned the curtains drawn,
the lamp carried down TO the foot of the tower,
eInptied, rinsed out with oil, refilled, and car
ried up at night at the hour of lighting. The
rules he has to observe in the discharge CT his
duties are too numerous to mention here. Any
one wishing to get good idea of the amount
of care and labor required to keep one Of these
bright beacons in proper order or of the light
itself, can do SO much better by visiting one,
plenty of time, lest their notes be as ncom-
plcte as these. JOSEPH.
