Late Hours.

Henry Ward Beecher preached re-
Gently on |" Late Hours and the Un-
fruitful Works of Darkness" ........,.
If you want to make the ruin of a
child sure give him. liberty after dark.
You cannot do any thing nearer to in
sure his -damnation than to let him have
liberty to go where he, will without re-
str4int. After dark he will be sure to
get into communication with people
that will undermine all his good quail
ties. I do not like to speak to parents
about their children. Their child can
not, will not lie, when his tongue is like
a bended bow he will not drink, when
there is not a saloon within mile of his
fathers house where he is not as well
known as one of his own decanters !;
he never does iniquitous things, when
he is reeking in filth. Nineteen out of
every twenty allowed perfect freedom
at night will be wounded by it. There
is nothing more important than for a
child to be at home at night, or, if he Is
abroad, you should be with him. If he
is to see any sights or take any plea
sure, there is nothing that he should
see that you should not see with him.
1t is not merely that the child should
be broken down, but there are thoughts
that never ought to find passage into a
mans brain. AS an, eel, if he wriggle
across your carpet, will leave his slime
which no brushing can ever efface, so
there are. thoughts that never can be
got rid of, once permitted to enter; and
there are individuals going round with
obscene books and pictures under the
lappels of their coats that will leave
ideas in the mind of your child that viii
never be effaced. There are men here
who have heard salacious song and
they never will forget it. They will re-
gret it to the end of their lives. 1 do
not believe in child's seeing life, as it
is called, with its damnable lust. and
wickedness, to have all his imagination
set on fire with the flames of hell. No
body goes through this fire but they are
burned; burned I; and they can't get rid

Dangers of Long Ocean Steamers.

The fashion for building long ocean
steamers recalls TO "a correspondents,
memory the following story gHf
i am reminded Of the loss of the
steamer. Home, many. years ago. on a
voyage from New York, I think, to
Charleston She broke in two at the
moment when the bow and stern of the
vessel raised by, waves SO high as
to deprive the center of the steamer of
the support of the sea, and many lives
were lost. The defence of unseaworthi.
ness was made, and perhaps proved, but,
the counsel for the owners, 50 complete-
ly described the character of the de-
fence in his opening sentence, that
scarcely hope existed that it would be
maintained. 1t was old George Griffin,
as he was then called, who summed up
for the prosecution. May it please the
court and gentlemen of the jury" said
he, " you have heard the tragedy of the
Home for the benefit of the under
WRITER'S" Mr.. Lord, the counsel of the
insurance company, has just concluded
powerful argument to show the dan
ger to human life if such vessels were
encouraged, and the opening remark of
Mr.. Griffin was so truly descriptive as to
occasion a smile throughout the. court
room. The jury found that she was
seaworthy, but she undoubtedly lacked
the strength necessary for a rough voy-
age. But the danger from great length
is of another sort. Occasionally steam
ers of that kind get in the trough of
the sea and are greatly embarrassed to
get out until the storm is over. afei :

Ralancing the Sexes.

A correspondent of the Boston Herald
has discovered method for restoring
the equilibrium of ths sexes He would
do it by sending young women in the
course of empire. Emigration, he ar
CUES, for the last twenty years has been
steadily tending to increase the dispro-
portion of the sexes in the East. The
young men have gone, West, while the
young, women remain at home. In
Iowa there are said to be 10000 more
men than women, the majority of whom
are unmarried. They need wives out
there. Why not organise female emil
grafton societies Tor the purpose of sup
plyina the West? "There is not n
State west of the Mississippi but has
from ten to thirty thousand more men
than women, the most of whom are
single. Young women need not throw
away their lives in Boston shops and
Lowell factories if they would only re-
solve to act in concert and seek hus-
bands and homes in the West. 1t may
be said the men ought to come East for
wives. The women ought to go half
way at least. Instead of secret societies,
that do more harm than good, why not

A New. Way Of Making Cheese, 2

In conversation, recently, with an
intelligent gentleman, one interested
in all farm processes, and practically ia
miliar with many parts of farming, he
related the manner of making, or rather
pressing. cheese, practiced by a neigh
bor of his-a woman skilled I'M house
hold economy, and famous for her nice
cheese. With the number of COWS -usu-'
ally kept, it takes three days to nake'a
cheese. Her former method was to run
up a curd each morning, keeping them
until the third day, then mixing old and
new curds together, and putting them
into the hoop and pressing Her prac-
tice is now to run up the curd and put
it into the press at once, the hoop being
about one-third fufi.S The next morning
the second curd is run up, that which
was in the hoop is taken out, the cloth
changed, placed in the hoop again, the
top of it then scratched or broken with
fork, and the second curd put in,
when it is again placed in the press,
where it remains all day. The third
mornings curd is then run up, the
cheese taken from the press, turned,
the surface hacked up with fork, and
the third curd again sliced on, bringing
the first curd in the middle of the
cheese. It is then pressed sufficiently
taken o,:t and placed in the curing
room. By this process the work each
morning is cleared all away, and good
sized cheese is produced of superior
quality, and one as firm and solid as il
I all were placed in the hoop at once

Polishing shirts.

The Scientific American says Put
little common whitewax in your starch,
saw two ounces te-the pound then, if
you use any thin patent starch, be sure
YOU use it warm, otherwise the wax.win
get cold and gritty, and spot your linen,
giving it the appearance of being stain
ed with grease. It is different with
collar starch-it can be used quite: cold !;
however, of that anon Now, then,
about polishing shirts; starch the.
fronts and wristbands as stiff as You can
Always starch twice that lis, starch and
dry then starch again. s1ron your shirt
in the usual way, making the linen nice
and firm but without any attempt at
good finish don lift the plaits your
shirt il now ready for polishing, but You
ought to have board the same size as
a common shirt board made of hard
wood, and covered with only one ply Of
plain cotton cloth. Put this board into
the breast of your shirt, damp the front
very lightly with wet sponge, then
take polishing iron which is fat and
beveled E'a little at one end-polish'
gently with the beveled part, taking
care not to drive the linen up into
wave-like blisters of course this re-
quires a little practice, but if you are
careful and persevere, in short time
you will be able to give that enamel
like finish which seems to be so much
wanted. F - F&@& a~5-.f ~ 81 "
To DRESS CoLLARs.-Use the best
starch, say two pounds, and four ounces
of wax, and six and a half pints of wa
ter; first dissolve the wax in the boiling
water, take the vessel off the fire and
allow it to stand for i've minutes dur
ing this time dissolve the starch in the
smallest possible quantity of cold water,
and boil for twenty-five minutes-keep
stirring all the time this starch can be
used quite cold; rub it well into the
collars, wiring as tight as you can, finish
by wringing in clorh. then iron ;thus
you will have them stiff without being
hard, and when well dressed will have
that beautiful elastic finish SO much ad-
mired in new collars. ,.--sFY

Oiliug Farm Implements.

The Boston Cuitivator gives the follow
ing sensible and practical advice to its
readers H1s 2 '-s5s-@ g
"Every farmer should have can of
linseed. oil and brush on hand, and
whenever he buys new tool he should
soak it well with oil, and dry it by the
fire or in the sun before using. The
wood, by this treatment, is toughened
and strengthened, and rendered imper-
vious to water. Wet new hay rake,
and when it dries it will begin to loose
in the joints but if well oiled, the wet
will have but slight effect. Shovels and
forks are preserved from checking and
cracking in the top of the handle by
oiling; the wood becomes smooth as
glass by use, and is far less liable to blis-
ter the hand when long used AK and
hammer handles often break where the
wood enters the iron; this part particu-
larly should be toughened with oil to
the eye of the AK will prevent its swell
ing and shrinking, and sometimes get
ting loose. The tools on a large farm
COST a heavy sum of money; they should
be of the most approved kinds. 1t is a
poor economy, at the present prices of
