George ElliOtt'S Sayings.

The commonest man, who has his ounce
of sense and feeling, is conscious OF the diff
ference between alovely, delicate woman
and coarse one. Even dog feels dit
ference in their presence. The man may
be no better able than the dog to explain
the influence the more refined beauty has
on him, but he feels it.
It's easy finding reasons why other
folks should be patient.
Let evil words die as soon as they're spo-
ken.
As to people saying few idle words
about US, we must not mind that, any
mo:e than the old church steeple minds
the rocks that are cawng about it.
like breakfast time better than any
other moment in the day. No dust has
settled on ones mind then and it presents
clear mirror to the rays Of things.
When what is good comes of age and is
likely to live, there is reason for rejoic-
ing.
No man can be wise on an empty sto.
mach.
A man can't very well steal banknott
unless the banknotc lies within convenient
reach but he wont make us think him al
| honest man because lie begins to howl a,
the banknotc for falling in his way.
A man can never do anything at vari
ance with his own nature. He carries
within him the germ of his most execution
al action; and if we wise people make
emmincnt fools Of ourselves on any partiC
ular occasionwe must endure the Legitimate
conclusion that we carry a few grains Of
folly to our ounce of wisdom.
When I've made up my mind that
cant afford to buy tempting dog, | taxi
10 notice Of him, because if he took
strong fancy to me- and looked lovingly a
me, the struggle between arithmetic anc
inclination might become unpleasant,
severe. | piQue myself on my wisdom
there.
Consequences are Implying. Our deed
carry their terrible consequences, quit
apart from any fluctuations that wen
beforc-consequences that are hardly eve
confined to ourselves. And it is best t
fix our minds on that certainty, instead Q
considering what may be the elements G
excuse for us.
There is no sort of wrong deed Of whic
a man can bear the punishment alone 20
can isolate yourself and say that the evi
which is on you shall not spread. Mems live
are as thoroughly blended with each othe
as the air they breathe; evil spreads 4
necessarily as disease.

Castor Oil.

Breathes there man with soul so
dead that he does not recOllect the cas-
tor-oiling which his poor machine used
to undergo at stated periods of his life ?
To castor oil child of two or seven
years of age requires three or fourstrong
women, spoon, a magnum bottle of the
fluid, lump of sugar. IL towel, a jump
ing-iack and u seraphic temper. The
first motion is to endeayor to ring in the
medicine on the unsuspecting babe thin
Iy disguised with milk. This moncu-
yer failing, you p0rley with the enemy
and attempt to corrupt it's infantile
integrity with brides of pas gold
watch, imperial revenues of small change,
and Hesperides Of small oranges. After
having tempted it thrice to put the spoon
of Tantalus to its lips, it refuses point
blank to touch the nasty thing. There
upon your surcharged indignation finds
vent in corporal chastisement OF the re-
bellious infant. 1t bowls. Peace being
restored, you bring up re-enforcements,
and, strategy and diplomacy having
failed, determined to accept nothing but

march at once upon the enemy's works.
A grand combined attack is made. The
left wing firmly holds the childs hands.
The right wing pinches its nose, so as to
compel it to open its mouth, into which
the center pours deadly fire from the
spoon. Meanwhile the reserve holds up
u lump of sugar, commiserately saying,
"poor 'itti tootsy pootsy, was it nassy
medley, eh?" and keeps the towel ready.
The baby yells ard chokes, the young
mother, afraid OF killing it, lets 60 of its
nose, the infant, catching breath, dis
charges the whole dose upon her, and
ruins all the front breadths, of her black
silk, and follows up its advantage by so
heart breaking yell that the attacking
party surrender at discretion and calls
it "pocr, injured, mamse'S own tootens.
and it won't take any more nassy castor
oil, if it don't want to-" A treaty Of
peace is then ratified, whereby the infant
is coded immunity from castor oil, and
an ample indemnity to lollipops, and
then the mother enters into war with
the infant grandmother, who vigorously
reprehends the weakness exhibited in
dealing with children nowadays. People
have tried all sorts Of expedierts. Taker
it in milk in soda water; from ho
spoon; every way. But no later Frank
lin has ever been able to overcome ant
annihilate the nastiness Of taking casto1
oil. 1t has a sluggish cold aperiNnt lool
about it, like an ill-omened pool IN {
deadly swamp. 1t uncoils itself into tn,
fatal spoon like n boiled rattle-snake
1t tastes like molten graveyards. Blu
the feeling, when it has been achieved
, is that ones inside is full Of earthworm
and cork-scrcws.

USING UP SMoKE.-Several officers of
the Austrian naval service have united
in experiments which have resulted in an
invention promising to be of greatest
importance to war steamers and to steam
vessels generally. 1t is a method or
conveying away under water the smoke
from the steam engine, thus dispensing
with the use OF funnel. They make
use of double ventilators, which compress
the smoke and force it overheard. For
propelling these ventilators they employ
in large ships the pressure of the water
between its surface and the place where
this apparatus is fixed for smaller YES
sells, steam power. One great advantage
of this invention is tho additional secu-
rity its adoption will give to iron-clad
ships of war through the absence of
what is now their most vulnerable part,
the funnel. Other advantages claimed
for it are the saving of space now occu-
pied by t. passage of the funnel through
every deck, less danger from fire, COM
plete regulation of the draught, saving
of fuel, and better ventilation of the
boiler. 1t is said that trials have been
made of the apparatus, resulting success
fully even to the smallest details.

New York Cemeteries.

New York city has six public ceme-
teries, independent of the Potter's Field,
which is under the charge Of the Com
missioners of Charities and Correction.
OF this number, however, there is only
one where the body OF poor person can
be inferred without cost. This single
exception is that Of Calvary Cemetery,
(Roman Catholic, but the liberality of
the trustees of that place does not extend
beyond what is called the Free Ground,
Here the bodies are piled together in Il
ditch, and in little while all traces OF
identity are lost. Many sorrowstricken
mother has sought this cherries spot
with the hope Of finding clue to the
exact location of the bones of some
cherished one, but only to go away
heart-broken by failure. The lowest
price for single grave is $40, and the
highest for q plot $500. A plot consists
of piece of turf sixteen feet long and
sixteen feet wide. Half plot can be
bought as low as $3.50, eight feet by six
teen at S75, and six feet by eight at $50.
Interments cost, for adults, 81 each
children seven to fourteen years, So
under seven years, 49, Attached to this
cemetery is receiving vault, where
bodies are kept, without extra charge
from five to twenty days, ut the end o.
which time they are removed to graves
and may be found without difficulty.
At Greenwood Cemetery, each LOT
contains 87S superficial feet The form
of the lots depends in great measure
upon the peculiar surface Of the grounc
and the character of the Improvement
contemplated. Itmay be crcular,squaro
oblong, oval, Or irregular, according t.
circumstances. The prices vary from
$500 to $500, although in some instance
lots are valued as high as $500. Quartz.
lots, nine feet by ten feet six inches, witt
room for three adult graves can be hat
as low as 800. One third lots, twely
feet by ten feet six inches containing
four adult graves, bring Sl3O and up
ward, according to location. Half lots
ten feet by nineteen feet, containing 81
adult graves, range from $50 upward
Full lots, Of the ordinary sort, fourtce'
feet by twenty-seven, can be laid on
into fifteen adult graves, in three tiers q
five graves each.

Children.

Nothing is more charming than to see
happy, healthy children, and to see them
also neatly and tastefully dressed. But
simplicity is the charm of youth a
fresh young face needs little adornments,
Rich garments, iewelry, an extra num-
Der Of ribbons, founces, rutlles, and put1s
add nothing to the beauty of childhood.
Mothers nowadays incline to dress their
children like miniature men and women.
In so doing they not only make a great
mistake, but they wrong their children,
particularly their little girls, who at ten
are often seen decked out in as much
finery as fashionable women of fifty.
In the first place, this style of dressing
makes the young girl look old, and robs
her of all that flesh simplicity which is
so natural and pleasing. She appears
artificial, constrained, and disagreeabIy
solfconscious. Her thoughts are nee,
essariy much upon her adornments, and
she has not yet learned to conceal the
fact, What mother has the right thus
to impair the beauty of her child
Thon, again, the health and comfort oil
the little girl are seriously interfered
with by the care she is expected to give
to her fine garments. She can not run
and Jump and romp about as she longs
to DO, lest she tear them she must seat
herself crcumspcctly, least she crush the
trimmings she must be constantly on
her guard lest she soil the delicate fabrics
At many fashionable summer resorts il
ispositiYcly painful TO notice how absurd
| ly this system of ornamenting children
is practiced. 1t is to behoped that sen
sible mothers during the coming season
will not interfere with their children'
rights in this respect. Give them sim
pie clothing, for this does not prevent
the garments beng pretty and tasteful
But let the young folks have chance t.
be young. In America we all grow ole
too fast-not in years but in thought, il
feeling, and habits.

BITTEN BY IT.-The class of people
who, in their indulgence of what is called
practical Joking, seem only to take de-.
light in making other people as miserable
as they can, are sometimes taught good
lesson, and never better one than in the
following case On the evening of the
Derby day the rollicking occupants of Il
four-horse drag, who had been enjoying
themselves on their return from the race
course by pelting the crowds of pedes-
TRANS with bags of -four, peas and other
missiles, pulled up in the Chaplain Road
for refreshments, leaving three of their
number in charge Of the vehicle. These
three fellows, strangely forgetful that
their vehicle was stationary at the time
and not dashing along the road safe from
