The Influence of a True Woman.

Even in the busiest town and amid
the most absorbing pursuits, the hearts
of men turn with ap instructive homage
toward those who have brought down
and illustrated in their lives the purest
precepts of our faith. The man who
carries them with him wherever he
goes, in meekness and simplicity, bears
alsoswith him weight of authority
which silently disarms the shallow rea-
soning of Sadducean selfshness and un.
belief.
The life Of a true woman reveals to
us sources of influence which the world
can never give. She may be endowed
with a charm Of personal loveliness
which adds to the attractiveness of her
virtues she may have advantages Of
wealth and position which give her an
opportunity that all can not have to
show her disinterested regard for 9TH
ers; she may have qualities of mind
and heart which peculiarly fit her to be
the pride and JOY Of her friends. But
these are not the secrets of the power
which goes from her, through which
she creates around her an atmosphere
ofgentle, benignant affections, while she
fills each day the perhaps unacknowl-
edged and unrecognized Offices of kind
ness that make her home a centre of
Christian charities and graces. Her life
while it is with us is perpetual beni.
son and when she is not, it is still, in
overwhelming and deepening circles,
diffusing itself through the hearts Of
those she loved and through the COM
munity in which she lived. There is
no more beneficent or powerful influ-
ences than the living presence, or when
that is withdrawn, the silent memory
of those who are thus the dearest exem-
plars that we have known of the spirit
and the religion of Jesus.

PiOuS Wonder.

One ingredient of true religion is pi-
Gus, pleasant wonder. If God has pre-
sented wondrous things to our minds,
it is certainly right that we should be
suitably affected by them. Jesus Christ
in his person, nature, works and Offices
is being so incomprehensibly glorious
as to have received from prophecy the
title of Wonderful )" and shall we
not yield our minds to the impression
which ought to be made by the study
of his character? In Scripture, we are
frequently commanded to "consider
the wondrous works of the Lord" and
to talk of all his wondrous works. -
The light into which regenerate soul
is brought is called a marvellous light.
One of the inspired writers speaks OF
the "marvelous loving kindness of the
Lord."s Indeed the scriptures teach
that part Of the employment of heav.
en- Is holy wonder. We cannot easily
imagine that this exercise is not carried
to far greater extent than on earth. II
wander enters into the very nature oil
thankful and adoring worship of heav.
en- is perfect, then it is plain the heav.
emily host must far excel us in this kind
of emotion. Let us, therefore, cult
vate and stir up this pious marvelline
at Gods nercies and our sins, and by
clear and thorough views of the things
OF God keep our minds In frame lik,
to that of the spirits above.

Unconscience Influence over Animals.

The horse like his driver, and the dog
like his master. A nervous, timorous
man Is almost sure to have skittish
horse, shying at anything, unsteady,
and II runaway If he gets chance.
Many COW is spoiled by lack of pa
thence and quietness in the mixer, and
the amount of milk depends more upon
the mixer than the pasturage. If a
man is afraid of horse, the animal
knows it before he gets into the stable.
We have seen the most inoffensive cow
in the herd 50 wrought upon by the
nervousness of greenhorn, as dexter
ously to plant her foot in his breast and
send him reeling heels over head. A
noisy, boisterous fellow about fattening
stables will cause serious loss in gain
of flesh to the animals, so important is
quiet to them when they are digesting
their food.

DO YOu Want 10 Live IOng2

If you do, go and get married, and
stand not on the order of your going.
DIR. Hall, in one of his Health Tracts"
gives the following reasons why mar
riage Is favorable to health: Bachelors
are always In state of unrest; they
feel unsettled. II indoors after supper,
there Is a sense of solitariness, includ-
Ing a sadness, II not actual melancholy,
with all its depressing influences and
many, many hours in the course of the
year are spent In gloomy inactivity,
which is adverse to good digestion
and vigorous and healthy circulation.
His own chamber or house being 30 un-
inviting, the bachelor is inclined to
seek diversion outside in suppers with
friends, to clubs, which are introductor-
les of intemperance and licentiousness,
or those more unblushing associations
which, under the cover of darkness,
lead to the speedy ruin of health and
morals, and when these are gone, the
way downward is an easy one." Now
that this point Is settled, here is another
recommendation worth taking to heart.
DIR. Dio Lewis says: Every person OF
remarkable longevity, whose habits l
have studied retired to rest at an early
hour. He may have transgressed other
laws of health-for example, he may
have used spirits and tobacco moder-
ately; but I have heard of no long
liver who habitually sat up till late
nd 4 odd that thnpn
all have never read of a large eater.
Eat right and sleep right, and you
have the two fundamental conditions Of
health and long life. Establish these
two sources of life as fixed habits, and
| If you get drunk once month and
smoke five cigars day, you may, not
withstandiug, live long life in the en-.
joyment of good health. But sit up in
a furnace. heated room till IL o'clock,
and eat the quantity and quality Of
food consumed by people who believe
in short life and merry one, and you
may rest assured that the yearly trip to
the mountains, Il months guzzle of Sar-
atoga waters, and the attentions of a
fashionable doctOr-all put together
will fail to save you from early wrink-
les, early loss of sight, premature gray
hair, and short life.
Then do you ask me how you can
reach So in the enjoyment of all your
faculties?
reply,..go to bed at 8 O'Clock, and
eat twice day a moderate quantity of
plain food"

The best and most simple disinfect-
ing agent known is chloride of zinc. 1t

readers to apply this agent freely, during
the month of August especially.
Copperas is another agent that may
be applied in the same manner, and for
the same purpose, and eNher of these
will accomplish, If freely used, all that
is needed.

True POliteness,

"A poor Arab going through the desert
met with a sparkling spring. Accus-
toned to brackish water, a draught
from this sweet we'll in the wilderness,
seemed to his simple mind, a present
fit to offer to the Caliph. SO he filed
his leathern bottle, and, after a weary
tramp, laid his humble gift at his SOW
ereign's feet. The monarch, with mag.
nanimity that may put many Christ.
ian to blush, called for cup, and filling
it, drank freely, and, with a smile,
thanked the Arab and presented him
with a reward. The courtiers pressed
eagerly around for a draught of the
wonderful water, which was regarded
as worthy such princely acknowledg.
ment. To their surprise the Caliph for.
bade them to touch drop. Then, after
the simple hearted giver left the royal
presence, with a new spring of joy
swelling up in his heart, the monarch
thus explained the motive for his pro.
hibition. During this long journey,
the water in this leathern bottle has be.
come impure and dstasteful; but it
was an offering of lore, and, as such
accepted it with pleasure. feared
however, that If l allowed another to
taste 1t, he would not conceal his dis.
gust. Therefore it was that forbade
you to partake, lest the heart of the
poor man should be wounded"

Miscellaneous.
Etiquette.

|
The right of privacy is sacred and
should always be respected. 1t is ex-
ceedingly improper to enter a private
room anywhere without knocking. No
relation, however intimate, will justify
an abrupt intrusion upon a private
apartment. So the trunks, boxes, pack
cts, papers, and letters of every individ-
ual, locked or unlocked, sealed or I'M
sealed, are sacred.-It is ill manners
even to open bookcase, or to read a
written paper lying open without per-
mission, expressed or implied. Books
in an open case or on centre table,
cards in card case, and newspapers,
are presumed to be open for examina.
tion. Be careful where you go, what
you read, and what you handle, ,partcu.
larly in private apartments.
Avoid intermeddling with the affairs
of others. This is a most common fault.
A number of people seldom meet but
they begin discussing the affairs of some
one who is absent. This is not only un
charitable, but positively unjust. 1t is
equivalero to trying cause in the alb.
sence of the person implicated. Even
in the criminal code a prisoner is pre-
sumed to be innocent until he is found
guilty. Society, however, is less Just,
and passes judgment without hearing
the defence. Depend upon it, as GER
tain rule, that the people who unite
with you in discussing the affairs of
Others, will proceed to scandalize you
| the moment you depart.
Be well read, also, for the sake of the
general company and the ladies, in the
literature of the day. You will thereby
enlarge the regions of pleasurable talk.
Besides, it is often necessary. Haslitt,
who had entertained an unfounded
prejudice against Dickens works when
they were first written, confessed that
he was at last obliged to read them, be-
cause he could not enter mixed com,
pany without hearing them quoted.
Always conform your conduct, as near
as possible, to the company with whom
you are associated. If you should be
thrown among people who are vulgar,
1t is better to humor them than to set
yourself up then and there, for a model
OF politeness. 1t is related of certain
king that on particular occasion he
turned his tea into his saucer, contrary
to the etiquette of society, because two
country ladies, whose hospitalilies he
was enjoying, did so. That king was a
gentleman and this anecdote serves tc
illustrate an important principle; namo
ly, that true politeness and genuin,
good manners often not only permit
but absolutely demand, a violation O.
the arbitrary rules of etiquette. Beal
this fact in mind.
Although these remarks will not b,
sufficient in themselves to make you {
gentleman, yet they will enable you tc
avoid any glaring improprlcty and
much to render you easy and confident
in society.
Gentility is neither in birth, manner
nor fashion-but in The mind. A higf
sense of honor-a determination never
to take mean advantage of another
an adherence to truth, delicacy, ant
pollteness toward those with whom yol
may have deallngs-are the essentia
and distinguishing characteristics Of {
gentleman.

BUTTERMILK is said to be a remedy
for dyspepsia. 1t should be drank at

presence Of Tactic acid, and as this acid
