Every week from that date an envelope

number of the payment, until the two

the following lines written in the same

toward the white population, but
among themselves. At the back of

island resides another tribe, both be-

two tribes appear to hava had some

the King by man named Cornelius.
Upon obtaining this information Thac-

requesting them to desist from fighting

Maxims for Young. Girls.

| . l. n
Never make your appearance IN the
morning without having first bathed,
if only with a sponge and a quart OF
water. brushed and arranged your hair,
and dressed yourself neatly and COM
pletely. 80 -
Keep your clothing-especially your
underclothing-in perfect order.
Never let pins do for buttons or
strings take the place of proper bands.
Examine eyrey garments when il
comes from the wash, and, Unnecessary,
mendsit with neatness and precision.
Do not sew up the holes in your
stocking, as we have seen some care
less, untidy girls do, but take in a broad
margin around the hole, be it small OF
large, with. fine darning needle and
cotton, and cover the fracture with an
interlaced stitch, so close as to be as
strong as the bedy Ofthe stocking, and
fine enough to be ornamental.
Never carry course embroidered OF
laced handkerchiefs. Fine plain ones
are much more lady like. Trss-s
Avoid open-worked stockings and
very fancy slippers. Fine, plain white
hose, and black kid slippers, with only
a strap or rosette in front, are more be-
coming. ne
Train yourself to useful occupation.
Remember, it is wicked to waste time;
and nothing gives such an impression
of idling and never having anything
to do,
If.you are in your fathers house take
some department. of HOUSEHOLD labor up
on, yourself, and part ofthe sewing,
and make it your business to attend to
it. Do not let a call from this idle girl
or a visit from that, or an invitation
from the other, interfere with the per-
formance Of your duty.
If you can, cultivate to perfection
some art by which you can gain a
independent livelihood.

One of the most remarkable letters
in a certain way that we have seen
lately is published in the Cleveland
Herald, it being denial by one Mrs.
f. A. Carter of the truth of a story
which it mad published tha she had
blistered q servant girls tongue for
lying. She says, however: "The threat
to blister the tongue for lying, and
doing it, though of course not to de-
gree that would be cruel, | had used
before as punishment, preferring it to
whipping. My husband had never
protested, and it had never occurred to
me as any worse than any other cor
poral punishment, which of course
should be avoided if possible. In this
case the culprit was a large girl, who
had been more than once returned to
our County Infirmary as incorrigible.
I had taken her on trial, as had been
moderately successful before with one
of similar antecedents. She was not
virtuous, was dishonest ana untruthful.

Obliged to resort to severe means. I

her tongue for Lying, and she had told

a Plea for those Who Sleep il
the Morning.

The fact is, that as life becomes more
concentrated, and its pursuits more
eager, short sleep and early rising be-
come impossible. We take more sleep
than our ancestors, and we take more
because we want more. Six hours
sleep viii do very well for a plough
man or briclllayer, or any man who
has no other exhaustion than that pro-
duced from manual labor, and the SOON
er he takes it after his labor is over The
better; but for man whose labor is
mental, the stress of whose work is on
his hrain and nervous system, and who
is tired in the evening with day OF
mental application, neither early to bed
nor early to rise is wholesome. He
needs letting down to the level of re-
pose. The longer the interval between
the active use of the brain and his re-
tirement to bed, the better his chance
Of sleep and retirement. To him an
hour after midnight is probably as good
as two hours before it, and even then
his sleep will not SO completely and
quickly restore him as it viii his neigh
hor who is only physically tired. He
must not only go to bed later but lie
longer. His best sleep probably lies in
the early morning hours, whenall the
nervous excitement has passed away;
aud he is in absolute rest. ls

Killing With Kindness--HOw 6
slI Robber Was Done. For.

The following is related of the late
Rev. Samuel j. May, of New York:
In early life he was settled over a
small parish in Brooklyn, Conn.,, and
rode in a one-horse chaise about the
country. Having prepared for days
journey for an exchange, he was adj
vised by neighbor not to go alone, as
foot t-pads infested the road he was to
take. He needed not the advice, and,
when a few miles out of the village, he
saw man jump over a low fence out
of a thick wood. He said to himself,
"Mine enemy is upon me-" When he
overlook the man he stopped and.said
cheerily, "Good morning, my friend; I
have an empty seat, will you net share
it with me ?" They had a long ride,
and a long talk, Mr.. May giving his
passenger a great deal of good moral
advice by the way. AS they neared
the point of Mr.. Nays destination he
said: tI am minister, and shall
preach in the next village tomorrow,
and ifyou would like to hear me, am
sure the friends are expecting me will
entertain you"
The man declined the invitation
with apparent confusion, and when
they alighted from the vehicle, said
he would like to speak with Mr.. May
apart, a few moments. When alone,
he grasped Mr.. M.'s hand, looked MIN
Isquarely in the face, and said: 81

Tossing that when / sprang outinto the

foot.pads on the road this morning, and

you to ride with me.n "You are a
noble, brave, Christian man," said the
Erobber, with great feeling; your eoun-
sci to-day sank deep into my heart, and
hereby promise you solemnly that ]
will henceforth lead temperate and
blameleSs life." The promise was kept.
There had been a correspondence be-
tween them for more than thirty years;
when Mr.. May told us the story. No
one but their maker knew their secret.
The repentant man prospered, and if
he is living will but add one more to
the thousands who weep for his bene-
