FORGIVENESS.
Isulitct given BY Tta.httl

One Of the noblest, most beautiful and
attractive traits 10 the human character,
is that spirit which induces us to forgive
an injury. It is one of the most choice
blessings Con has granted US sinful NOR
tails; for few there are among US. who
have not at some time or other, permitted
"streams Of unkindness, bitter as gall. to
bubble up from the heart to the tongue
and in the impetuosity Of the moment, ut.
tered words that have caused MS sorrow,
pain and rcmorse And when the heart is
weighed down with regret, and seeks
atouoment for wrongs we have done, what
relief and unspeakable joy do We feel,
when we hear the simple wordc-"l for.
give you"
"Would'st thou from sorrow find sweet relief,
Orifthy heart q oppressed with Woes untold ?
Balm would'st thou gather 70. corroding grief;
Pour blessings around thee Ikea shower Of
gold?'

Iii a mistaken idea with many, that
only persons Of weak and cowardly natures
apologize when they feel and know they
have done fcllow.creature an injury. -
Here they indeed err! For it is only
natures Of tho highest cast, who, (when
they have wounded tho feelings Of an.

Of character, that prompts them to
seek reconciliation and make the omende
honorable. By saying, "nsturcs OF the

in splendor and magni6cence, and who per-
chance deigns not to notice the poor, hon

The mildest. purea soul within.
'Tis not the richest plants that folds

"As we look back through life in our moments
Of sadness.
How few, ami how brief are It's gleamings Of
gladuess:
Yet We find. midst the CLEAN that our path

A few spots Of sunsh inca few flowers ua'a'

And memory still boards, as her richest Of

Some moments of rapture,--some exquisite
pleasures

TIE DEDArr.-The public debate lost
Thursday night at the Methodist Church.
South, was listened to by large audience
Of ladies and gentlemen. The select read
ing was excellent. The debators acquit-
ted themselves crcditably, and both sides
\ strovc hard to have the decision on their
side. The President decided the question
10 favor Of the negative. In this decision
We differ with the President We have
always doubted the propriety Of the Presi-
dent rendering decision on any ques-
ton in public debates. We think the
question should be left With the people to
render their own decision.

The Butter Trade.

Few people have a just idea of the i'm
meuse amount of capital invested in the
butter trade According to statistics, the
dairy products of the United States ag-
gregate in value 5000, 900 900 annually.
From official sources the total sales of
dairy products of the United States, for
1870, from 1885 1872 cows, was butter,
5l4,092, ,6S2 lbs, at an average of zoe.
per H., or Sl7l ,36i i,239; cheese, 53 ,492, :
l53 lbs, exclusive of factory product,
statistics of which are not at hand, at an
average of l5c per ID, or $500, ,3S2 20 +;
milk, 235 800 500 gallons, at an average
of 30c per gallon, or SO ,652 SI9 20 ;
making a grand total of S242 ,Sl9 ,48S-
This is exclusive Of the enormous amount
consumed by producers that cannot be
reached, as it goes into consumption with
ont sales or account, aud can only be esti-
mated. This, with the increase of pro
duction since 1870, is currently estimated
to make up the balance of the $500, ,O00,-
900, which, without statistics given,
might seem too high. The butter trade
| in New York centres in Orange County
to a considerable extent, furnishing thai
city over half million pounds during
the season of six months Probably there
is not a trade of the same magnitude tha
is so wholly without organization as thu
butter trade and has SO many errors ant

HINTS TO CARPENTERS.

The American Builder believes that
there is much labor in vain in the orna-
mcntation of houses, especially wooden
houses. 1t tells carpenters before max
ing and fixing a quantity of ornament To
be sure that it is good, aud goes on to
say: There are many things that you
do and many others that an architect-if
there be one in the case-will often in
struct you to do, which are neither taste
full nor in good construction. Of course
there are exceptions. You may be sure
of this, however, that the more elaborats
and covered with ornamennt and cary
ing the building is, the more you are 60
ing on the wrong track Real beauty
consists not in added features but in the
body of the work itself, and this fact
should always be borne in mind.
The principle of carving wood for out
side ornament is wrong. We would not
say it is to be discarded altogether, but,
still we have that leaning. Cut work,
and that of the simplest kind is the best.
Complexity in forms and ornament is
mostly bad 1t not only requires unne-
cessary labor to produce, but there is ac-
tually vexation in the mind of the spec
tator. When people see thing that is
so crowded with intricate work, that it
takes them trouble to make it out, it is
tolerably good evidence that such work is
not exactly what Is wanted.
Give great attention to the sizes and
proportions of doors aud windows and pay
especial attention to the sizes and con-
struction and never if possible, conceal
its principles, but let them form the basis
of ornament. Mouldings, cornices and
miters are not to be put in exposed poisi-
tions. 1t is surprising what an excellent
effect can be produced by cutting, even
with little or no moulding or carving.

The Grisly Bear.

The grisly bear is the largest and most
formidable of the quadrupeds of Cali
fornia. He grows to be four feet high
and seven feet long, with weight, when
very large and fat, of 1000 pounds, be-
ing the largest of the carDivorous animals,
and much heavier than the lion or tiger
ever get to be. The grisly bear, how
ever, as ordinarily seen, does not exceed
800 or 900 pounds in weight. ln color,
the body is light, grayish brown about
the ears, and along the ridge Of the back
and nearly black on the legs. The hair
is long, coarse and wiry, aud stiff on the
top of the neck and between the should
ers. The "grisly," as he is usually call
ed, is more common in California than
any other kind of bear, and was at one
time exceedingly numerous for so large
an animal but he offered SO much meat
for the hunters, aud did SO much damage
to the farmers, that he has been Iudustri
ously hunted, aud his numbers greatly
reduced. He ranges throughout the
State, but prefers to make his home 10
the chaparral, or bushes, whereas, the
black bear likes the heavier timber The
grisly is very tenacious Of life, and he is
seldom Immediately killed by single
bullet His thick, wiry hair, tough skin,
heavy coats of fat, when in good coudi-
ton, and large bones, 60 far to protect
his vital organs but he often seems to
preserve all his strength and activity for
an hour or more after having been shot
through the lungs aud liver with large
rife balls. He is one of the most dan
gerous animals to attack. There is much
probability when shot he will not be kill
ed outright. When merely wounded he
is ferocious. His weight and strength
are so great that he bears down all op
position before him, aud he is very quick
his speed in running being nearly equa
to that of the horse. In attacking man
he usually rises on his hind legs, strikes
his enemy, with one of his powerful fore
paws. and then commences to bite him
| If the man lies still, with his face down
the bear will usually content himself will
biting him for awhile about the arms anc
legs, and will then 60 off few steps anc
watch him. If the man lies still, tht
bear will believe him dead, and will sooI
get tired and 90 away But let the maj
move. and the bear is upon him again
let him fight, and he will be in imminen
danger Of being torn to pieces. Abou
half dozen men, on an average, are kill
ed yearly 10 California by grisly bears
and as many more cruely mutiiated.

The Man That Didn't Like Tripe.

Liston, the actor, delighted in peculiar
sort of practical joking in the Streets
Walking one day with Mr.. Miller,
theatrical bookseller, he happened to men
ton casually that he was going to have
tripe for dinner, dish of which he was
particularly fond. Miller who hated it
said
"Tripe beastly stuff /! How can you
to eat it Z"
That was enough for Liston. He stop
ped suddenly in the crowded thorough
fare, in front of house, and holding
Miller by the arm, exclaimed in loud
voice:
"What, sir Do you mean to assert that
you don't like tripe 7"
"Hush J" muttered Miller ''don't
talk so loud /; people are staring at us"
Il ask you sir" continued Liston, in
still louder tones, edo you like tripo ?"
"For heavens sake hold your tongue ~
cried Miller; "You will have a crowd
around US"
And naturally people began to stop
and wonder what was the matter. This
was exactly what Liston wanted, and
again he shouted:
"Do you mean to say you don't like
tripc p
Miller, making desperate effort, broke
from him, aud hurried away in consterna-
ton, followed by Liston bawling after
him
'There he goes ! That's the man that
doesn't like tripe % to the immense amuse-
ment of the numerous wayfares, many of
whom recognized the popular comedian,
till the horrifcd bookseller took to his
heels and ran as if for like, pursued to
his very doorstep by pack of young rag
mullins. who took up the cry:
''There he goes The man that don't
like tripe -
