Be Careful Of Your Words.

Who can tell the power for good
or evil ofbut one sentence falling on
a fellow-creature's ear, or estimate
the mighty series of emotions, pur-
poses, and actions of which one ar
ticulate breath may be the spring2
"a word spoken in season how good
is itr' In another sense than the
poets, all words are winged, and i'm
agination can i'll track their fight.
Evil or idle words may seem, as they
are uttered, light, they are like fla
ment Of thistle down-eaeh feathery
tuft floating on the breeze bears
with it the germ Of a noxious weed.
Good, kind, true, holy words, drop
ped in conversation, may be little
thought OF, too, but they are like
seeds of flower or fruitful tree, fall
ing by the wayside, borne by some
bird afar, haply thereafter to fringe
with beauty some barren mountain
side, or to make glad some lonely
wilderness.

The same remark might have
been heard from the young man

Spring Time in the South.


Spring is here in the bloom of
beauty peculiar to the Southern
cline. It's now far advanced and
has come to the fruit stores with
good things from the gardens. In
the country wild grass gives full
feed to the cattle, sheep, and the
birds have made their nests from
the coat shed by the COWS. The
young corn stretches in green lines
across the fields and bids the plow-
man drive ahead and make food for
all mankind. It is surely time of
JOY with every one, for when nature
puts on new suit and decks her
self with wreaths of fresh flowers,
the birds and beasts give signs of
gladness, and why should not every
mortal who has soul rejoice and
be glad also2 But only those in
the country can feel the holy infiu-
ence of the blooming spring time.
Nature has selected as her favor
ties those who till the soil. The
rich man of the city may roll along
in his gilded chariot and wear the
brightest robes art can get up-for
everything is art with him-but it
is reserved for those who work in
the field and garden to feast upon
worldly enjoyment. Those who
throng the places Of commercial
strife and wrestle for the champi-
onship in the whirlpool Of trade,
running up their bank accounts to
millions, may fancy that they be-
long to the favored class, but it is
not so. They may revel in the ex
citement Of their large city, with
its thoroughfares crowded with bu-
sy life and dance in the marble hall
and relish the draught of the bot
tom with the strange fascination
that it is running over with sweet
ness, but there is no sweetness there
they get only the slaves portion,
disguised under the guilt of mag
nifcent show, and wind mp life
without ever having one single time
for communion with the soul Of
JOY. It's all sol
A home in the country, where
the flowers bloom and rich, ripe
fruits hang on the trees, where the
corn tassel is nodding in the fresh
air and the yellow ripe wheat in the
sunshine, fills the bill to perfection.
There is no other paradise on earth.
Ambition cannot urge genius to do
more, but comes to a stand-still and
sits down to contemplate the joys
of the second Eden.

Where the Money Goes.

The people of this country, who
complained of the scarcity of mo-
ney, last year imported sardines and
anchovies at a cost of $I,OO9, ,354.
This people also imported $477,-
572 worth of human hair for CHG
mons, curls, scalps, rats, mice, or
waterfalls, either in the manufac-
tured or manufactured state. De
spite the fact, too, that the apothe-
carries or professional chemists of
"the best governed nation under the
sun" have been manufacturing a
multitude of scents, we paid Eu-
rope $177,OO3 for cologne water
and other alcoholic perfumery.
We also spent in Europe ST, 1866,
sos for ornamental feathers and ar
tificial flowers.
To this country which is almost
overrun by cats, we imported $I4,-
946 worth of catgut for musical in
struments.
Though hogs are indigenous to
America, we imported $651 800
worth of bristles.

Home. Sweet Home.


No one who has ever enjoyed the
benefits and beatitudes of happy
home can travel so far away from
its sacred precincts as to forget the
affections and hopes and joys that
clustered around it in life's early
morning. Though day by day we
are travelling on in the journey of
life, leaving behind us in the dim
distance the scenes and footprints
of childhood, the window Of the
heart is ever open to the impression
andrecollection of that happy home.
A mothers smiles and tears, which
alternately eheered and elouded the
may-morning Of our existence, re-
main fresh in the memory of ma
ture manhood, and they shed a
gleam of light upon declining age,
which illumes It's dark corridors
and continues to "brighten and
brighten as time steals away
The voice of that mother which fell
upon childhoOd's ear in whispering
gentleness, though long ago hushed
in death, is ever present with US
through life, and speaks often-times
to us in accents sweeter than the an
gel IsrafePs assuaging pang, dis
sipating doubt, or quieting q fear.
We can never know a sorrow that

accents, and her sweetly remem-.
bered smiles.

WisesAa,rsoms.
HOw q woman Keeps a seeret.

= - N---e--- - - = h~NSA N~e
1t is an old quip upon women
that they cannot keep secrets; but
the fact is they are the only part Of
humanity that can.
A wife keeps her husbands Sc
cret incomparably safer than he
does hers. We calculate that there
is one drunken wife to about four
hundred and ninety nine drunken
husbands. In gambling, licentious-
ness, lying, cheating, hypocrisy, and
covetousness, there is pretty much
the same proportion. Yet of the
four hundred and ninety nine wives,
four hundred conceal, cover up, 81
iently endure the terrible secret,
while the one husband mourns over
his wife's frailty in the study ofthe
pastor, and to the ear of his friend,
and probably complains of it to a
court of law. 1t is the same be-
tween brother and sister. The Sc
crets woman talks about are of
the kind that are unimportant and
mostly agreeable to hear. But of
serious secrets she is reticent as the
grave.

Marriage Statistics

The registration report of the
State of Massachusetts for the year
1869 gives some curious marriage
statistics, from which impatient
youths and desolate old maids and
bachelors may all take heart. Dur
ing the year Z maidens were mar
ried at the age of IA, and no less
than Il at the comparatively ma
ture age of Is. The lads are not
so venturesome as the girls, the
youngest husband having welded
at I6 a wife Of the same age. On
the other hand, an old maid of IS
found husband, and four other
women were married after they had
passed the age Of 20. One man of
80 was married, for the sixth time,
to maiden of 80; also, another
man, for the sixth time, to a widow
of62. The ages Of the oldest par
ties married for the first time were
60 each.
The greatest disparity in the first
marriage was the male 67 and the
female 90 Forty-fve males we're
married during the year who were
over 20, and one widower of so to
a widow of 81. A widower of 80
was married, for the second time to
a young widow Of 20, it being her
fourth marriage! But one marri-
age is reported where both parties
were married for the fourth time
each, their ages being 70 and g.
There was one marriage, the male
being 70, his fourth marriage, to a
widow of 81 her third marriage
One male of % was united to a
widow Of 80, it being his first mar
riage and her fourth. A widower
of 50 was united to a widow Of 50,
it being her fifth marriage. The
sixth marriage of a male at % is re-
ported to a spinster at 80. A sec
ond marriage Of a male of 56 IS re-
ported to a female Of 50, it being
her fifth venture.

had an aunt coming to visit
me for the first time after my mar
riage, and I don't know what evil
genius prompted the wickedness
which I perpetrated toward my
wise and ancient relation.
"My DEAR" said 1 to my wife on
the day before my aunt's arrival,
''you know Aunt Mary is coming
tomorrow; well, I forgot to men
tion rather annoying circum-
stance with regard to her. She is
very deaf; and although she can
hear my voice, to which she is ac-
customed, in its ordinary tones, yet
you will be obliged to speak ex-
tremely loud in order to be heard.
It will be rather inconvenient,
but know you will do everything
in your power to make her stay
agreeable"
Mrs. - announced her deter
mination to make herself heard if
in her power.
then went to John n, who
loves a joke about as well as any
person I know OF, and told him to
be at the house at six p. m, the
following evening and felt compar-
atiyely happy.
I went to the railroad depot with
a carriage next night and when I
was on my way home with my
aunt, said:
'My dear aunt, there is one rath
er annoying infirmity that Annie
(my wife) has, which I forgot to
mention before. She is very deaf,
and although she can hear my voice
to which she is accustomed, in its
ordinary tones, yet you viii be
obliged to speak extremely loud in
order to be heard, I am very sorry
for il"
Aunt Mary, in the goodness Of
her heart. protested that she rather
liked speaking loud. and to do so
would afford her great pleasure.
The carriage drove up-on the
steps was my wife-in the window
was John N, with face as ut
terly solemn as if he had buried
his relatives that afternoon.
Il am delighted to see you"
shrieked my wife-and the police
man on the opposite sidewalk start
cd, and my aunt nearly fell down
the steps.
"Kiss me my dear" bawled my
aunt, and the windows shook as
with the fever an ague. I looked
at the window-John had disap-
peared. Human nature could en-
dnrs it no longer. Ipoked / my
head into the carriage and went
into strong eonvulsicns.

When I entered the parlor, nay
wife was helping Aunt Mary to take

John with his face buried in his
handkerchief.
Suddenly-aDid you have pleas
ant journeyg' went of my wife like
pistol, and John nearly jumped to
to his feet.
Rather dusty" was the response
in war Whoop, and the converse
ton continued.
The neighbors for blocks around
must have heard it; when I was in
the third story of the building I
heard every word.
In the course Of the evening my
aunt took occasion to say to me:
How loud your wife taIksr'
told her that deaf persons talk
ed loudly and that my wife, being
used to it, was not effected by the
exertion, and that she was getting
along very nicely with her.
Presently my wife said softly -
"Alf how very loud you aunt talks"
"Yes," said I, call deaf persons
do. You are getting along with
her finely; she hears every word
you say" And I rather think she
did.
Elated at their success at being
understood, they went at it ham
mer and tongs, till everything upon
the mantlepiece clattered again and
I was seriously afraid of a crowd
collecting in front of the house.
But the end was near. My aunt
being of an investigating turn of
mind, was desirous of finding out
whether the exertion oftalking was
injurious to my wife. So-"Does
not talking so loud strain your
lungsP' said she in an unearthly
whoop, for her voice was not so
musical as it was when she was
young.
at is an exertion," shrieked my
wife.
"Then why do you do itT' was
the answering scream.
Because-because-you can't
hear if I DON'T" squealed my wife.
"Whatr' said my aunt, fairly ri
valing a railroad whistle at the time
Ibegan to think it time to eyacu-
ate the premises; and looking
around and seeing John gone, 1
stepped into the back parlor, and
there he lay fiat on his back, with
his feet at right angles with his
body, rolling from side to side, with
his fist poked into his ribs, and a
most agonizing expression Of coun-
tenance, but not uttering a sound.
I Immediately and inyoluntarily as
sumed a similar attitude, and from
the relative position of feet and
heads, and our attempts to restrain
our laughter, I think apoplexy
must inevitably have ensued, if a
horrible groan which John gave
vent to in his endeavor to suppress
his risibility had not betrayed our
hiding place.
In rushed my wife and aunt, who
by this time comprehended the
joke, and such a scolding as I then
got 1 never got before and I hope
never to get again.

Charity.


When you meet with one suspected
or some secret deed ofshsme,
And for this by all rejected
AS thing ofevil fame,
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word Of heartless blame,
Tor the slandereris vie detraetion
Yet may soil thy goodly name.
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have wandered in,
Working out his own undoing
With his recklessness and sin;
Think, if placed in his condition,
Would q kind word be IN vaini
Or look Of cold suspicion
Win you back to truth againl
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
But the summers genial showers
Never made their bosom glad.
Better have an act that's kindly,
Treated sometimes with disdain,
Than by judging others blindly,
Doom the innocent to pain.

Don,t Usa SLAM words.

Girls don't talk slang. If it is
necessary that any one should do
that, let it be your big brother tho
I would advise him not to adopt
pigeon English when there is an
elegant systemized language he can
just US well use. But don't you do
it. You can have no idea how It
sounds to ears unused to or adverse
to it, to hear a young lady, when she
is asked to attend a place ofamuse-
ment, answer, "not much" or ifshe
is asked to do something she does
not wish to, "can't see it!'
Not long ago Iheard a young Ia
dy, who is educated and accomplish
ed, say, in speaking ofa young man
that she intended ito go for him p
and her sister asked her assistance
at some work, she answered mot
for Joe"
now young lauieS Of uheAeep-
tionable character and really good
education fall into this habit, think
ing it shows smartness to answer in
slang phrases; and they soon slip
fippantly from their tongues with a
saucy pertness, that is not lady-like
or becoming. Young men who talk
in that way do not care to hear it
from the lips they love OF admire.
It sounds much coarser then.
Il bet. or '.you bet" is well
enough between men who trade

The late census shows some inte-
resting facts in relationtothe South.
By facts and figures submitted, it
appears that New Orleans and other
cities, supposed to be the home of
yellow fever, are healthier than New
York or Boston, and have fewer
according to population. It also
shows that the death among negroes
have increased almost one half since
the war, and that more negroes than
whites have died of disease, altho'
the climate is supposed to be par
ticularly adapted to the colored
race.
