Another American in japanese Service.

And now another American has been
called into the service of the Japanese
government. This time it is General
George B. Williams, of Indiana, who
has been engaged by Mr.. Moir, the
Japanese Minister, to go to that coun-
try for the purpose of organizing an In
ternal Revenue system there, similar to
our own. Gen. Williams is now Sec
ond Deputy Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue, and has also had experience
as Assessor, Collector, and Supervisor
of Internal Revenue, having been en-
ployed in these separate offices for an
aggregate of five or SIX years The en-
gagement is for three years at large
salary. Gen. Williams will sail from
San Francisco for Japan on the lst OF
January next.

The eTyDSieS.

The Gypsie parliament, which meets
once every seven years, and consists OF
delegates from all the countries OF
Europe, is expected to assemble soon
near Canstatt, in Germany. The king
of this nomadic race is one Joseph
Re1nhard, who has reached the veneer
able age of. ninety eight years. He has
had seven wives, and is the father of
forty five children. Our American idea
Of the whole Gypsie tribe is rather un-
favorable. They are regarded gener-
ally as a set of horse and chicken steal
ers, as few in numbers, and without
organization or government. 1t Is with
some surprise therefore, that we find
that they are in Spain about 40, COO OF
these Gypsies in England more than
$4,000, while Austria has 81, 600, and
Moldavia and Wallachia are the chosen
homes of nearly 100000 more. Their
religion has been the subject OF much
unsatisfactory discussion. Perhaps
the Hindoo saying, ""there are. seventy
two religions and a half in the world,
the half being the religion of the Jhats
(of Gypsles)," comes as near as a cor
rect detination as any.

With this conclusion in his mind,

Is beyond all comparison the best
preparation ever discovered. It IS
mild and pleasant to use, producing no
smarting or pain, and contains no
strong irritating or caustic drug or
other poison. It's ingredients are SIM
pie and harmless, yet when scientifically
and skillfully combine in just the right
proportions they form most wonder
ful and valuable healing medicine
Like gunpowder, which is formed by
the combination of saltpetre, sulphur
and charcoal, the ingredients are sim
pie, but the product of their combina-
tion is wonderful in its effects. It is a
powerful antiseptic, and speedily de-
stroys all bad smell which accompanies
so many cases, thus affording great
comfort to those who suffer in this
way. It speedily subdues acute at
tacks of @ cold in the head" thus pre-
venting their resultingin Chronic Ca
tarrh. It's cleansing, antiseptio, sooth-
ing and healing properties are truly
wonderful. The Catarrh Remedy fluid
Should be applied by the use of

Reyengeful Punishment.

We once knew of little child who had
stolen a couple Of figs off the dessert dish on
the day of dinner party. The theft was
discovered, and her father made her wear the
figs on a string round her neck the whole
evening, with full explanations why. We
heard the story when the child had grown up
to be woman, and from her own lips and
she said that to this hour she suffered from
the shame of that evening; it was burnt into
her, and made q wound ineffaceabe for life.
1t was tremendous punishment for the fault
the fault itself being in so young child as
she was--fve years old only-one that might
have been punished and reformed by milder
measures. 1t seems to have been a mistake,
Judging from the bitterness with which the
fathers character was spoken Of She said
she had ceased to love him from that day
and from the stern and loveless nature Of the
woman herselfit seemed to have cast out all
softness from her. And though, to be sure,
she stole no more figs, yet she had learned
her lesson Of keeping her fingers from wan
dering into the region of forbidden dainties
at too severe cost. The policy of humiliation
is dangerous one at all times and on all oc-
casions, and far more souls have been crushed
by this than sins have been confirmed by
over-leniency. To destroy all self-respect
is to destroy all healing power, and to prevent
all possibility of rebound. In dealing with
the family, however hard we may be on the
sin, we ought always to reserve way of res
toration to the sinner

How TO Make Mischief.

Keep your eye on your neighbors. Take
care of them. Do not let them stir without
watching. They may do something wrong if
you do. To be sure, you never knew them to
do anything very bad, but it may be on your
account they have not. Perhaps if it had not
been for your kind care they might have dis
graced themselves long time ago Therefore
do not relax any effort to keep them where
they ought to be. Never mind your own bu-
sincss-tbat will take care of ITSELF There
is man passing along-he is looking over
the fence be suspicious of him perhaps he
contempates stealing, some Of these dark
nights there is no knowing what queer fam
cies he may have got into his head.
If you find any symptoms Of any one pass.
ing out of the path of duty, tell every one
else what you see, and be particular to see o
great many. 1t is a good way to circulate
such things, though it may not benefit your
self or any one else particularly. Do keep
something going--silence is dreadful thing
though it is said there was sienre in heaven
for the space of half an hour, do not let any
such thing occur on EARTH it would be too
much for this mundane sphere.
If, after all your watchful care, you cannot
see anything out of the way in any one, you
may be sure it is not because they have not
done anything bad perhaps in an unguarded
moment you lost sight of them-throw out
hints that they are no better than they should
be--that you should not wonder if the people
found out what they were after while, then
they may not carry their heads so high. Keer
it going, and some one may take the hint and
begin to help you along after while-ther
there will be music and everything will work
TO a charm.

=" Never Missed It,"

You will never miss it, it is so young"
These were cold words that were meant for
consolation, spoken to a young mother. "Neyer
miss it." Was not a place then vacant by
the side Of that feeble parent " Better have
it die young while it is innocent" the speaker
continued but a sob was the only response
Many tender words were spoken, but that
You will never miss it," sank deep, deep
into the vacant heart. So the little form was
carried out, that had gladdened two fond
hearts but few days Never missed it ="
The young mother folded up the little gar
ments that her busy fingers had abored on for
many weeks and put them away. Tears fell
like rain on the clothes her babe had never
worn
Never missed it," Weeks and months
moved on, and years. one, two, three, passed,
and many admired the submissiveness that
showed no outward murmurings. Strangers
loved the quiet that reigned in that house, and
said in their hearts, They have never missed
it," But what would not that mother have
given for one shout of childish glee in that
quiet house
Never missed it !" Time few away and
middle age found them childless. Out in the
streets the merry voices of other children
made them sad Loving fathers and mother;
we're educating their own, and looking for
ward to days beyond that they might have q
younger and stronger arm TO lean upon, and
yet the world said, They have never missed
it." Onward passed the years, until one score

the loneliness Of being childless.

The Fathers and Chignons.


There is nothing new under the SUM-" Who
could have supposed that would be our rpriyi-
lege, in this nineteenth century, to give averit-
able extract from one of the Ante-Niccne
Fathers in condemnation ofone ofthe monstrous
fashions of our own day, aptly emitting it, "Ter-
tullian on the ChignonP" Yet these are the very
words Of the great apologist, after taking the
women Of his time to task for the blonde dye
with which they dressed their hair : "Why is
no rest allowed to your hair, which must be now
bound, now looscd, now cultivated, now thinned
out Some are anxious to force their hair into
curs some to let it hang loose and flying, not
with good simplicity besides which you afhx |
know not what enormities Of subtle and textile
perukes-now after the manner Of 6 helmet Of
undressed hide, as it were 4 sheath for the
crown; now a mass down backward toward
the neck. The wonder is that there is no open
contending against the Lords precepts II
has been pronounced that no one can add to his
own stature. You, however, do add 10 your
weight some kind Of rolls or shieldbosses, to
be piled upon your necksl II you feel no shame
at the enormiiy of the gear, feel some At the
pollution, for fear you are fitting on holy
and Christian head the slough fsome one else's
head-unclean perchance, guilty perchance,
and destined to hell. Nay, rather Danish
quite away from your free head this slavery
Of ornamentation."
