DEcE1v1Ne CH1LDREN.-Dr. B. was called
to visit sick boy, twelve years of age: AS he
entered the house the mother took him aside
and told him she could not get her boy to take
any medicine except she deceived him.
aWell, then," said DR.. B., "I shall not give
him any. He is old enough to be reasoned
' He went to the boy, and after an examination,
said to him:
"My little man, you are very sick and must
take some medicine. 1t will taste badly and
make you feel badly for little WHILE and then
expect it will make you feel better"
The Doctor prepared the medicine, and the
boy took it like man, without any resistance
and he would take from his mother ANYTHING
that the physician had prescribed, but would
take nothing else from her. She had so often
deceived him and told him it was good, when
she gave medicines, that he would not trust to
anything she said. :, :,
Honesty with children, as well as with all
Others and in all circumstances, is the best
policy.

AN AFFECTING INc1DENr.-For years, says
the Eureka Sentinel, we believed that the young
man who killed his father and mother, and ap-
pealed to the court for mercy on the ground
that he was an orphan, was the height of the
profession in that direction; but an actual oc-
currence few days since, is just little better.
A woman had been tried for killing her hus-
band, and had been declared not guilty. She
was shaking hands with her friends, and ap-
preached the clerks desk, on which lay the
pistol with which she had shot him, and asked
the Judge if she could have it. 1t was assented
to, when she remarked: ss....s,.7
"This is the only thing which I have to re-
member my poor, dear husband byP
Could feeling go farther, after acknowledging
that she shot him?

AS UsUAL.-A handsome bachelor clerk in
one of the most popular dry goods stores in
Atlanta, is smitten with a fair resident of a
neighboring city. The father of the young
lady came to Atlanta recently and registered
at the hotel where the bachelor clerk boards.
AIS soon as this discovery was made, the old
gentleman was looked up and made the recipi-
ent a of earnest attention, (such as all of us have
and are disposed to pay the parents of the
chopped for,'') to ingratiate himself into the
just before going up to dinner the old gen.
tleman wanted information of the young one
where he could get drink of "pcach and
honey" !,
that in the bar-room good liquors are kept"
was the innocent reply.
The old gentleman asked the young one to
SnSc Certainty. rt Though don't drink myself"
replied the tectotaer.
Arrived at the bar, the want of the old gen.
tleman was made known, when the bartender,
turning to the young man, coolly remarked:
II suppose you will take gin and sugar, as
He chad ortcr" winked sooner.

WHAT is HOME 2-aHome," says Robertson
in his sermons, "is the one place where hearts
are sure of each other. 1t is the place of con-
idence. 1t is the place where we tear off that
mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which
the world forces us to wear in self-defence, and
where we pour out the unreserved communica-
tions of full and confding hearts. 1t is the
spot where expressions of tenderness gush out
without any dread of ridicule- Let man
travel where he will, homeis the place to which
his heart untraveled fondly turns He is to
double all pleasure there He is to divide all
pain. A happy home is the single spot of rest
which man has upon this earth for the culti-
walton of his noblest sensibilities"

SATURDAY NIGHT Saturday night makes
people human, sets their hearts TO beating, as
they used to do before the world turned them
into drums, and Jared them to pieces with
tattoos. The ledger closes with a slash, the
iron-doored vaults come to with bang, up go
the shutters with will, click goes the key in
the lock. 1t is Saturday night, and we breathe
free again. Homeward, no! The door that
has been ajar all the week closes behind us; (;
the world is shut out. Shut in, rather. Here
are our treasures after all, and not in the vault,
and not in the book-save the old record in the
old family Hblc-and not in the bank. May
be you are bachelor, frosty and forty. Then,
poor fellow, Saturday night is nothing to you,
Just as you are nothing to nobody. Get wife,
blue-eyed or brown-eycd, but above all true
eyed. Get little home-no matter how little;
sofa, just to hold two, or two and half, and
then get two, or two and a half in it of Sat
urday night, and then read this paragraph by
the light of your wife's eyes, and thank heaven
and take courage.-Eredangc.

How MONKEYS ARE CAUGHT.-We were
much amused at reading the following extract
from letter in Africa, which recited how mon
keys are caught there:
In Dafour and Sanaar the natives make fer
mented beer of which the monkeys are passion
ately fond. Aware of this, the natives go to
parts OF the forest frequented by the monkeys,
and set on the ground calabashes full OF the
liquor. AS soon as the monkey sees it and
tastes it, he utters loud cries of JOY that soon
attracts his comrades Then the orgie begins,
and, in short time they show all degrees OF
intoxication. Then the negroes appear. The
few monkeys that come too late to get fuddled,
escape The drinkers are too far gone to dis
trust the negroes, but apparently take them 1or
larger specimens OF their own species. Wnen
a negro takes one by the hand to lead him OF,
the nearest monkey will cling to the one that
thus finds support, and endeay0r to go OF
also. Another will grasp at him, and so on,
antil the negro leads q staggering line of ten
or fifteen tipsy monkeys. When finally brought
to the village, they are securely Gagged and
gradually sobered down; but for two or three
days gradually diminishing supply is given
them, so as to reconcile them by degrees to their
state of captivity.
DIR. Darwin has for sometime been teaching
the scientific world that men ore only improve
ment on wcll-grown monkey. From the
above, which was clipped from Flakes Bulletin,
and sent us by friend, we have something to
strengthen the monkey origin doctrine! But
strong as the conduct of the monkeys resemble
drunken men, the conduct of the negroes re-
senbles that of the liquor-selers still stronger:
The negroes take advantage Of the fondness of
the poor monkeys for the beer, and use it to
deceive and capture them. Once drunk, and
the poor monkey is no longer free. So the
Equor-seller sets out his beer and liquors,
Knowing the weakness of some of his fellow
men, that when once they have gotten taste
take care of themselves, but may be easily led
off into captivity, to answer the purposes OF the
Who is monkey enough to taste the accursed
stuff, and be a Gagged victim the balance OF his
life ?-7sras Visitor.

: A correspondt

A correspondent of the Scientific Aperi,
can says Let any one who has an attack of
lock- jaw take small quantity of turpentine,
warm it and pour it on the wound, no matter
where the wound is and relief will follow in
less than one minute. Nothing better can be
applied to a severe cut than cold turpentihe it
will give certain relief almost instantly. Tur-
pentine is also sovereign remedy for Group.
Saturate piece of flannel with it and place
the flannel on the throat and chest, and in a
very severe case three to five drops on lump
of sugar may be taken inwardly. Every fami-
w should have bottle on hand.

: The watch trade is cited as MS illustrate

The watch trade is cited as as illustration
of the reason why women cannot earn the same
wages as men, although possessing equal me-
chanical ability. In England it is stated that
many of the workmen had tried to Instruct their
wives, sisters and daughters to follow the busi-
ness, but that the nervous power of women was
inadequate for work requiring such strict aeco-
racy as matchmaking. The watch trade; it
was asserted, had gone to Switzerland because
many persons were not particular as to the va
ration in the rate of their watches, and there
fore purchased a cheap and inferior article, the
product of the labor of the Swiss women.
