The Serenity of the Dying.

1t so happened that have seen ma
ny women and men die. Without de-
sign or disposition on my part, have
very many times been present when
sick persons were ebbing to eternity.
have seen men and women, young and
old, cultivated and ignorant, orthodox
and heterodoX, in their last moments
and as a rule, all of them passed away,
if not without regret, at least with en-
tire resignation. None of them showed
dread of future. Their thoughts were
fixed on what they were quittins-not
on wherethey were going to. observ-
ed that some of them We're troubled,
perhaps distressed, when they could not
recover, but that, the nearer their end
came, the less apprehensire and the
calmer they grew. Having one banish-
ed hope, tranquility seemed to descend
upon them as substitute, and after
ward, if free from physical pain, there
was unruffied peace. 1t encouraged to
believe they might get well, or if they
had a favorable turn, the old anxiety,
with something of the former appre-
hension, reappeared; proving that their
mental disquietude was born of their
expectation of life-not of their fear of
death. Thus was established a clear
analogy between material and spiritual
anguish under the same circumstances.
As we have seen, they who are badly
hurt, or seriously i'll, experience suffer-
ing in going back to liie, while the
downward path to death, both for the
body and the soul, is paved with smoth-
ness and serenity.

American Manners.

DIR. Holland diseourses in Scribner's
ON American manners, as follows
''Fine manners will not become univer-
sal and characteristic of American life
for many years. The absorption of the
American mind in the development OF
the resources of the country, in the
prosecution of its indutrial interests,
and in the pursuits of wealth, fOrbids
that aesthetic culture whose natural out
growth is fine manners. Good man
ners, which we already possess, and for
which we hold the only Legitimate and
reliable basis, need simply to be refined.
The refinement of good manners will
not come to us through the pursuits of
fine manners as n fine art but they
will come as 4 natural outgrowth of
general asthectic culture. As the ma
ton becomes more refined manners will
be only one of the forms and modes
through which the growing idea of
that which is graceful and beautiful
will express itself. The man who feels
finely will act finely, provided he
mingles sufficiently in society to act
freeley. There is no value in any form
of fine art without fine feeling, and
there must be something better than
the character OF typical Latin on which
to base style of manners worth pos
session or emulation. Managers pur-
sued as an art for their own sake will
become artificial, and thus react upon
character in very disagreeable and
dangerous way.

From Rocky Mountain Journal-l
The Squaws in the Saddle.

To-day while out riding, met a
party of Utes on their way to their
lodges on Smiths fork. They were
all we'll mounted, and, as they jog
ged along over the sage-brush plain,
looked quaint enough. There were
three women and a boy, all travel :
ing in Indian file, as it is called.
FIRST came the leader-evidently an
Indian Queen-riding astride OF her
horse, and decked out in all the saw
age fnery immaginable - beads
buckskin fringes, and all; while
around the neck of her horse were
two large strings of bells which rat
tied merrily:. Next came the bo',
no doubt her son; and then two
other souaws, also riding astride or
their horses, who were the vassals,
or hangers on, of her ladyship. 1
cannot say much in favor of the
beauty of the party; but one thing
is certain, and that. is, they consid-
cred themselves very important
personages. The saddles had high
pommels and cantles, and the In
dian women seemed almost buried
up in them. Her majesty used her
quirt, or whip, unspairlngly, and
her horse attended to his business
with the greatest assiduity. They
wore their blankets over their heads,
and seemed to feel that this was in
deed a notable array of the woman
h pod of the nation. 1t is difhsuit
to supply female with enough n
merry, but believe in this case tnat
the Ute queen was perfectly salts
fed with herself, and certainly was
"the cvnosure of all eyes,

Narrow Escape of Colfax.

The Toledo, Ohio, Commercial,
of November 80, say: Mr.. Colfax
had a narrow escape from violent
death one week ago last Saturday,
at Andover, Ohio, the home of Mrs.
Colfax's mother. Mr.. Colfax and
his wife had just arrived, and was
met at the depot by Mrs. Colfaxs
brother. In getting their trunks in
to the light open wagon which the
brother drove, Mr.. Colfax assisted,
and in so doing, when the loud
screech of q locomotive near by
caused the horse to give q sudden
start, and Mr.. Colfax fell backward
to the ground. The end-hoard was
firmly in its place, most fortunately,
which in some degree broke the
force of the fall, and caused him to
strike on his shoulders instead OF
his head. But he escaped with in
considerable bruises only would un-
doubtedly have resulted In his Sc
we're injury, if not death.

Shingles and Sermons.

Ministerial remuneration in the early
West was on the worldly basis of all
other matters. AS an illustrations, we
give the case of Rev. Jacob Patch, year;
ago of Northern Indiana. No purer
simpler minded man than he. Thor
oughly educated in literary and theo-
logical colleges under New England in
fluences, he soon adapted himself to this
new work of aiding in Outstanding
the West. After few years residence
in the land of prairie and forest he be-
gan the building of house for himself
His way of paying for shingles might
be new to Mr.. Beecher, but was too
true with our pioneer clergy. The good
people near the Hog Greek school house
"a true name) having a shingle machine
and using its products for their legal
currency, and desiring the services OF
Mr. P, contracted with him to have
him deliver them certain number OF
sermons at the price of bunch q 900
of shingles for sermon. The preach
ing and shingles were respectively furn-
ished to the mutual satisfaction of the
high contracting parties. In complet-
ing the house half bunch extra was
required. In delivering his farewell
sermon, after relating the good that had
been done, and speaking of their pleas
ant relation as pastor and people, he al
luded to their contract, and gave an ac-
count which showed the balance of one
half-bunch in their favor unpaid for.
Sand now, my dear brothers and sis
ters," sand he, 81 am not owing you for
enough shingles to come to a sermon,
but, Providence permitting, will come
over to you at an early day and hold a
prayer-meetingr'
And he did. The currency for change
was satisfactory.

French Trade for Glass Eyes,

A French journal gives detailed ae-
count of the manufacture of false eyes
in Paris, from which the curious fact
appears that the average sale per week
for eyes intended for the human head
amounts to four hundred. One of the
leading dealers in this article carries on
the business in saloon Of great mag
nificent. His servant has but one eye,
and the effect of any of the eyes wan
ted by custome's is conveniently tried
in the servants head, so that the Gus
toner can judge very readily as to the
appearance it will produce in his own
head. The charge is but ten dollars pei
eye. For the poor there are second
hand visual organs which have been
worn for time and exchanged for new
ones. They are sold at reduced prices
and large quantities are sent off to In
dia and the Sandwich Islands.

The Girl Who Wins.

The time has passed away when
woman must be pale and delicate
to be called interesting, when she
must be totally ignorant of all gen
eral knowledge, to be called refined
and high-bred; when she must know
nothing of the current political
events of the day, or be called mas
culine and strong minded.
1t is not sign of high birth or
refinement to be sickly and ignor-
ant. Those who affect anything Of
the kind are behind the times, and
must shake up and air themselves
mentally and physically, or drop
under the firm strides OF common
sense ideas, and be crushed into ut
ter insignificance.
In these days an active, rosy fac
ed girl with brain quick and clesr,
warm light heart, temper quick
ly heated at intended insult or in
jury, and just as quick to forgive;
whose feet can run as fast as her
tongue, and not put her out Of
breath; who is not afraid of freck-
les, or to breath the pure air of heav-
en-, unrestrained by drawn curtains
or a close carriage, and above all
who can speak her mind and give
her opinion on important topics
that interest intelligent people, is
true girl who will make "a good wo-
man.
This is the girl who wins in these
days. Even fops and dandies who
strongly oppose women's rights,
like a woman who can talk well,
even if she is not handsome. They
say, HAh, yes, she is beauty, and
no mistake, but won't do for me
lacks brains''-of which commodity
it would seem she can have but lit
tie use in her association with them,
however, to please an empty headed
fop, woman must know something.

Goats and the Epizootic.

A New York correspondent writes ::
''One of my friends has kept his horse
sound through all the epidemic by feed
ing boiled potatoes and meal, as hot as
it could be endured, and also by keep
ing buck goat in the stable. This an
imal is very valuable as a preventive OF
equine disease, and it would be well if
this fact was more generally known.
The very efiluvia of the goat, unpleas-
ant and even disgusting to humanity,
is said to protect the horses from many
of the diseases to which this animal is
subject" Whether this story is true or
not, the experiment would cost little,
and should be remembered.

SMILE WHENEVER YOU CAN.


When things don't go to suit You,
And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in fretting,
But drive away that frown;
Since life is oft preplexing,
lis much the wisest plan
To bear all trials bravety,
And smile Wiener you can.
Why should you draed Tomorrow,
And thus despoil today
For when you borrow trouble,
You always have to pay.
1t is good old maxim,
Which should be oftea preached
Don't cross the bridgebefOre you,
Until the bridge is reached.
You might be spared mnch signing,
If you would keep in mind
The thought that the gsod and evil
Are always here combined
There must be something wanting,
And though you rolitn wealth,
You may miss from yOar casket
That precious jewel-health.
And though you'er strong and sturdy,
You may have an empty purse;
(And earth has many trials
Which l consider werseD
But wether joy or sorrow
Fill up your mortal span,.
Twill make your pathway brighter
To smile whene'er yen can.

The Trundle Bed.

The balmiest sleep we ever expert
enced was when we were nesting in
the old trundle-bed with curly head
ed brother just turned out of the parent
nest to make room for Il new customer.
But trundle-bed dreams were soon at
the end, for when the next customer
came we were crowded out of the trun-
dle-bed to make room for the next that
was turned out of the parent nest, and
so they kept altering for years until We
were turned out into the wide world.
o! where are the little heads that we
have kissed thousand times DER as
as they nestled in the old trundle-bed
Some of them have grown old and gray,
and others are resting upon their ever
lasting pillows in widely separated
lands. We are always sad when we
think of the old trundle-bed.
