SENSE AND SENTIMENT.

LET reason go before every enterprise,
ard counsel before every action.
The tongue Is the mysterious organ
tt at turns thought into sound.
HARSH words are hail-stones, which, if
melted, would fertilize the tender plants
they batter down.
If men faults were written on their
foreheads, broad brimmed hats would be
fashionable.
FAULTS show palmer on good man,
like spots on white garment.
GoD may hear the heart without words,
but not words without the heart.
SUNDAY, well observed, blesseth the
whole week.
DEEDS are fruits; words are but leaves.
THE greatest luxury Of wealth is one
the rich but little avail themselves Of
the pleasure of making others happy.
THERE is nothing purer than honesty );
nothing sweeter than charity; nothing
warmer than love; nothing richer than
wisdom nothing higher than virtue );
and nothing more steadfast than filth.
THE world knows no victory to be COM
pared with victory over our own passions.
The struggle of life is between the flesh
and the spirit; and one or the other final
ly gains the ascendency.
Don't Judge of moral character by the
face. The frog is more innocent than
many an animal that has much hand
somer physiognomy.
1t is the highest duty, privilege, and
pleasure for great men to earn what they
possess, to work their own way through
life, to be the architects of their own for
tunes.
WE should feel sorrow, but not sink
under its oppression the heart Of a wise
man should resemble mirror, which re-
fleets every object without being sullied
by any.
VIRTUE has this happiness, that she
can subsist of herself, and knows how to
exist without admirers, partisans and pro-
tectors want of assistance and approba-
ton does not only affect her, but preser-
YES, purifes, and renders her more per-
feet
AS sometimes small evils, like invisi-
BILE insects, infict pains, and single hair
may stop vast machine, the chief secret
of comfort lies in not suffering trihes to
vex one, but in prudently cultivating an
underground Of small pleasures, since
very few great ones, alas are of long
duration.
WHERE education has been entirely
neglected, or improperly managed, we
see the worst passions ruling with uncon-
trolled and incessant sway. Good sense
degenerates into craft, and anger rankles
into malignity. Restraint, which is
thought most salutary, comes too late,
and the most judicious admonitions are
urged in vain.
THE Rev Chas Brooks, father OF
State Normal Schools in America, was
asked by a teacher this question
''What shall | teach my pupils? ?"
He answered:
Teach them very thoroughly these
Eve things:
81. To live religiously.
40. To think comprehensiyely.
''3. To reckon mathematically.
"a To converse fluently and,
IS To write dramatically.
eff you successfully teach them these
five things, you will nobly haye done your
duty to your pupils, to their parents, to
your country, and to yourself. f"
"Amen !" said the preceptor.

1T NEVER. PAYS,

1t never pays tc fret and growl
When fortune seems our foe;
The better bird will push ahead.
And strike the drawer blow.
For luck is work.
And those who shrk,
Should not lament their doom;
But yield the play,
And clear the way,
That better men have room.
1t never pays 10 foster pride,
And squander wealth in show;
For friends thus sure to run
In times of want or woe,
The noblest worth
OF all the earth
Are gems of heart and brain,
conscience clear,
househouid dear,
And hands without stain.
1t never pays to hate a foe,
Or cater TO a friend
To fawn and whine, much less repine,
To borrow or to lend.
The faults of men
Are fewer when
Each rows his own canoe;
For feuds and debts
Are pampered pets
Unbounded mischief brew.
1t never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain;
Aud he is sold who thinks that gold

A humble lot
A cosy cot,
Have tempted even kings,
For station high
That wealth will buy,
Not oft contentment brings
1t never paysl A blunt refrain,
Well worthy of a song;
For age and youth must learn this TRUTH
That nothing pays that's wrong.
The good and pure
Alone are snre
To bring prolonged success;
While what is right
In Heavens sight
Is always sure to bless.

A Commercial Agency Case.

The case of Mellier against Shepherd, manager of Bradstreet's Commercial Agency, was before the Circuit Court of St. Louis, the hearing being on the mo- tion of the defendant to dissolve the in junction granted few days ago, enioyn- ing the circulation of the July number of Bradstreet's Commercial Reports, on the ground of the false and injurious rating of the plaintiff. Several witnesses testified to the solvency of MT. Mellier, his business qualifications, integrity, &c., also that he is doing large and pros porous business. MT. King, formerly an employe of the Agency, testified to the mode of transacting the business of the Agency. He said that most of the reports were manufactured in his office. From the time MT. Shepherd took charge, the reports were based on the old reports. The city reports were all copied into the letter-book, and then forwarded to New York. A book called the "black book" was kept, in which all unfavorable reports were copied. Every one in the office had access to this book. He testified that some Agencies were partial to subscribers, and that a gold-headed cane would often raise man s rating. The plaintiff had been re- duced from the rating of 70. c. D. D." very high rating, to "E. D." which meant that he was doing business with a capital of less than $500. Subscrip- tion to the agency generally meant an increase of credit. The witness further stated that he had manufactured hun dreds of reports himself.

Poison in the System.

In cases of poisoning by venomous
 snakes, convulsions follow. With some
 these are marked, while with others
 death is porceded by more lethargic
 appearance <; but in every case the
 symptoms all point to exhaustion and
 paralysis of the nerve centres, every
 function failing rapidly, and vitality soon becoming extinct. A complete loss of consciousness is generally preceded by local paralysis, great depression,
 faintness, exhaustion, nausea, vomiting,
 hemorrhage, relaxation and involuntary evacuations, nor unfrequently of san guineous or muco-sanguineous character Little Is shown by a post-mortem exam ination beyond the marks of the fangs and of the wounds immediately around them although in certain cases decom- positions of the tissues appear. The lungs are not congested, nor is the heart overloaded. The viscera appear natural, and death does not seem to be depend ent upon the disturbance of any one particular function. A remarkable diff ference is seen in the effect upon the blood by the bite of different species. Thus, in the case of the lower animals, the blood coagllates firmly on being re- moved from the body when death fol- lows from poisoning by the colubrine snakes, while in cases of death by the poison of the viper it remains perma- nently fluid. No explanation is given of this peculiarity. From experiments Dr. Fayrer ascertained that the poison acts with more vigor or warm-blooded ami malls, birds being especially sensitive-a fowl sometimes being known to die in a forx .1e .fx,e -4.. generally appears to be in proportion to the size of the animal, although cats seem to resist the influence of poison almost as long as dogs of three or four times their weight, Cold-blooded ami malls he found to succumb to the poison more slowly, though fish, non-venomous serpents, and mollusca all die. He, how ever, agrees with the observation of Dr.
 Mitchell and others, that poisonous ser pents are not affected by their own bite j; that is, that a cobra may bite itself or another cobra with no evil result, but that the less poisonous serpents are somewhat affected by the more poison ous kinds, although slowly. Strange as it may appear, the bodies of animals that are poisoned by snakes may be eat en by man and animals with impunity. or this the experlmenter had frequent proof. He found, however, that the blood of an animal that died from snake poison is itself poisonous, and that if in- jected into another animal it destroys life Although venomous snakes are not affected, or but slightly, by snake poison, they readily succumb to strych- nine or carbolic acid, the latter substance appearing to destroy then. very rapidly, and to be an object of special aversion.
 The usual remedies in the way of an tidotes, Dr. Fayrer considers of very little account, as being either powerless or quite inert. A lgature, excision, or cautery, if applied in time, appears to be the only rational remedy that can be of any avail in a really poisonous case. Stimulants are not unfrequently judi ciously recommended but as antidotes, in the ordinary sense of the term, they have no spec1al value.

New Method of IrOn.Making.

MT. George Fowler, an English min ing engineer, proposes the following modification of the ordinary method of smelting iron ores. As the process is commonly carried on, air is driven in near the base of the furnace, and the oxygen thus introduced unites with the carbon of the fuel, forming carbonic acid. As this rises through the incan- dercent mass it loses a portion of its oxygen, and thus becomes carbonic oxide, gas which in its further upward journey takes oxygen from the o-e and again becomes carbonic acid, thence es- caping from the top of the furnace. Carbonic oxide is therefore the true reducing agent in the process. By the proposed method this gas is generated outside the furnace, by the passage of 8 limited amount of air over ignited fuel
 Thus heated, it is forced into the furnace near the top, whence it descends through the mass of iron ore, which it deoxidizes as the two come in contact That pro- tion of the carbonic, oxide, if any, which remains unaltered, is burned when it en- counters the blast from the tuyeres, and the heat thereby generated sufices to fuse the metal and slag, which then fall into the hearth in molten state.

A Lesson From a Broken Horseshoe.
A farmer went to town one day

A farmer went to town one day &C., companied by his son, little Thomas.
 "See," said he to him on the way, "there is broken horseshoe on the road pick it up and put it in your pocket. .ys
 ''Oh! no, father," replied Thomas, "it isn't worth while to stoop and pick it up." : His father, answering nothing, picked it up and put it Tn his own pocket. He sold it to the blacksmith of the next viii lage for three farthings, and bought cherries with the money. a-
 After this they continued their jour ney. The sun was burning hot. Neith- CT house nor tree nor spring was any where to be seen. Thomas suffered with thirst, and had great difficulty in keeping up with his father. ..a
 Thelatter then as if by accident, let fall cherry. Thomas picked it up with as much eagerness as if it had been gold, and put it into his mouth. A few paces further on the father let fall anoth- CT cherry, which Thomas seized with the same haste. This game continued until all the cherries had been picked up. When the last had been eaten, the faith CT turned to his son smiling, and said to him:
 "You see now that if you had been willing to stoop once to pick up the you would not have been obliged to do it hundred times for the cherries" 7" -.-.- se ,.-.s. .-.F .. -.

Signs of the Ku Klux.

In Louisville court somebody has been giving the "signs' of the Ku Klux. First he tells how to recognize a brother at 8 distance. We raise the hat with the right hand, pull the brim down over tbe right eye. The answer the same with the right hand. Both then draw their left hands cross their mouths, as if washing, and strike their breasts with their right. The grips are made by grasping hands in the usual manner, with the thumb pressing slightly between the others thumb and forefinger, saying, I am all right; how are you ? He answers, T am all right. l reply, How may I know you are all right He answers, By word or letter ask, Which do you prefer P He may call for either. If he asks for letter tell him, Spell. He says, 'S; say, 'L;' he says, Az I say, .'P;' he
 says, U ;'I say P he says, spelling out, Slap up,' which is the text word of the order. I get into difficulty and am overpowered, and desire to know if my brother is present. lock arms across my breast as if cold, saying l wish knew if any of St. Mary's s children were about. If any brother is about he will come to my aid. If my opponent be a member of the order he will immediately l desist. When travelling at night, on meeting 6 person and desiring to know if he IS a brother, I say 'halt ? and give loud slap with my hand on my thigh. He answers with tive slaps.
