The father lay on his back at the

pillow while between her little
feet lay the head Of the .baby-her

nothing on but little night slips,
which hung loosely about their
bodies. Between them and their
father, floating in a pool of blood
was little India rubber ball, which
they had evidently been playing
with before the horI id deed was
done. On the side of the bed near.

about fourteen inches long, two
inches wide at the widest part, and
sharp almost as a razor. This was
the instrument which had so effcc.

v VulQarity.

We commend the following ex-
tract to the thoughtful study Of the
eSoung. Nothing is so disgusting
nnd repugnant to the feelings Of
the noble and good. as to hear tile
young, or even the old, use pro.
fame, low, or vulgar languaSe.-
The young of our town are partic.
ularly guilty of profanity. In our
day, it seems the boy" does not
feel himself q " man" unless he can
excel in this great sin.
" We would guard tho Young
against the use of every word that
is not strictly proper. Use no pro.
fame expression-allude to no sen.
terce that will put to- blush the
most sensitive. You know not the
tendency of babitually using indie.
cent and profane language. l
may never be obliterated from
your heart. When you grow MP
you will find at your tongues end
some expression which you would
not use for any money. 1t was
used when quite young. BY using
care you will save yourself a great
deal Of modification and sorrow.
Good men have taken s elk and be-
come delirious. In these moments
they used the most vile and indie
cent language imaginable. When
Informed of it after restoration to
health they had no idea of the pain
they caused they had learned and
repeated the expressions in child.
hood, and though years had passed
since, they had been indelibly
stamped upon the heart. Think of
this, yon who are tempted to use
improper language, and never dis
grace yourselves"
