Take that, now, and if you come

heard, evidently proceeding from the
contact of Wilkins's physical frame with
the floor. In fact, Mrs. Wilkins had
kicked him out Of bed.
But they made it up again, for I heard
Wilkins abusing his wife in the morning
for starching his pocket handkerchief so
that he rubbed all the skin off of his
nose.

A LITTLE Story.

I hear a stoy which will do to tell.
It is about an 1rishman, Of course. Pat
had worked two years upon the Central
Pacific road and applied to Ogden for
pass over it home.

superintendent. "You have no ground
to claim it.
"And haven't I worked two years OH
yer road ?" said Pat.
eyes; but haven't we paidyou for it ?"
"Sure, yer honor, you have, but after
working two years on it ye ought to let
me go home free"
81 cannot do that, sir. Why, look
at the case in its true light. Suppose
you had work for a farmer two years,
and he had paid you every cent due you.
Could you ask him to harness up his
team and take you long distance for
nothing?"
"Oh, no, your honor" said Pat;' "but
if he had his team already hitched up,
and had to go anyway, as yours does, he
would let me ride, 1 know he would.
Pat got his pass.

Just Johns Luck.

John was mado rich in spite of him
self at Long Branch, and this was the
way it was done;
Just as 1 was the hungriest, Longfel-
low and Harry Bassett were brought out
and they went round the corner like two
Colts revolvers. All the nice young
men stood up and bowed and scraped
and held up one finger, as if they were
storping an omnibus. They all yelled
"A hundred to eighty on Harry Bassett.'
They all appeared to be so very polite
that held up my finger too, and bowed
back to all of them. l never saw such
a polite lot OF young men before. You
would have thought 1 was the Grand
Duke Alexis. 1 kept up the bowling
game just as long as they did, and pret,
ty-soon the race was overS and l con-
fess 1 was agreeably surprised to see
about four hundred young men file NJ
and each one chuck 500 bill into my
lap. Then I thought the lot Of young
men just the incest lot of young men ]
had ever met. There 1 sat with $40,-
900 in my lap, and much to my aston.
ishment, found out that all the time
was pointing my finger and bowling back
to them, darned if wasn't taking
every darned bet that was made, and
darned if 1 knew it. l only had eight
dollars in my pocket, and if I had lost
I'd slept in a oyster bed that night sure

Drunk.

Young man, did you ever stop to think
how that word sounds? Did you ever
think what misery and woe you brought
upon your friends, when you degraded
your mandhood by getting drunk How
it rings in the ears of loving wife? How
it makes the heart of q fond mother
bleed? How it crushes out the hopes
of doting father, and brings reproach
and shame upon loving sisters? Drunk
see him as he leans against some friend
ly house. He stands ready to fall into
hell, unconscious as to his approaching
fate. The wife, with fearful eyes and
aching heart, sits at the window to hear
her husbands footsteps alas, they come
not. He is drunk The husband, the
parent is drunk, spending his means of
support for liquor, while his family is
starving for bread, his children suffer
ing for clothing. His friends, one by
one, are reluctantly leaving him to mis-
erable fate.

Recipe for Growing Plump.

Go to bed at half-past eight or nine,
and don't be in hurry about getting
up in the morning, On going to bed
and on getting up in the morning, drink
as much cold water as you can swallow.
Soon you will learn to drink two tumb-
lers; and some persons may learn to
drink still more Drink all that your
stomach will BEAR. Spend q good deal
Of time in the open air without hard ex-
ercise, but exposed to the sun. If prac-
ticable, ride in carriage some hours
every day. Remain out enough to give
youa good appetite, but don't work hard
enough to produce excessive perspira-
ton. Eat great deal of oatmeal por-
ridge, cracked wheat, Graham mush,
baked sweet apples, roasted and broiled
beef, though the vegetable part is more
fattening than the animal part Lie
down an hour in the middle OF the day,
Just before you take your dinner, TO rest.
and, if possible, take little nap. Guilt
vate jolly people. "Laugh and grow
fat" rests upon a sound physiological
basis. A pleasant flow OF the social
spirit is great prompter of digestion.
Keep your skin clean, sleep in room
where the sun shines, keep everything
sweet and clean and fresh about your
bed; sleep nine, if possible ten hours in
twenty-four, eat as you have been told,
cultivate the jolly spirit, and in six
months you will be as plump as you
cOuld wish.

A TeutOnic AllegOry.

An old man was toiling through the
burden and heat of the day, in cultiva-
ting his field with his own hands, and
depositing the promising seed in the
fruitful lap OF yielding earth Suddenly
there stood before him, under the shade
OF huge linden tree, a vision. The old
man was struck with amazement.
81 am Solomon" spoke the phantom,
in friendly voice. "What are you do
ing here, old man,"
"If you are Solomon" replied the
venerable laborer, chow can you ask
this? In my youth you sent me to the ant;
1 saw its occupation, and learned from
that insect to be industrious and to
gather. What l then learned l have
followed out to this hour
"You have only learned half your les
son." replied the spirit. "Go again to
the ant, and learn to rest in the winter
of your life, and to enjoy what You have
gathered up"

A Mr.. Lane, OF Dorchester, Mass,
was called to the door one night few
weeks ago and shot by an assassin, who
made his escape. The cause OF the
murder is unknown. A daughter of the
brother of Mr.. Lane was made a widow
by q murder of still more heartless
nature-Mr. Adams, who was murdered
by Colt some years ago in New York,
being her husband. Mr.. Adams left his
residence one morning to collect bill
of Mr.. Colt, and he was not heard of
for about week. Mr.. Colt (brother of
the famous revolver maker Colt) mur-
dered him in his Office, doubled and cut
up the body, put it in box, and shipp.
cd it for New Orleans; but owing to the
detention of the vessel for other causes,
the murder was discovered. Colt, it
will be remembered, was convicted and
ordered 10 be hung. Two hours before
the time of execution the prison took
fire, and, us some believe, Colt escaped
in fireman S clothes and still lives, though
iL&ps said he committed suicide, and
body found was said 10 be his.

Stealing. Lying and Slandering.

Essayists havo written much onthese
subjects, to prove which is the greater
vice. But the question is easily settled.
OF these three enormous vices stealing
by far is the most excusable. The thief, il
is true, degrades himself to the lowest
level, and becomes the scorn and con-
tempt OF mankind. 1t is to put money
into his pocket, for which he is too lazy
to work, This frailty of his nature, lazi
ness, is the excuse for his vice, while, if
it did not exist, perhaps the vice would
not be practised. The thief hates nobody
he desires nobody's lfe-he does not
seek to destroy anybody's fair name OF
reputation. He has no malice, even
when he is breaking open the money
drawer, And while ON this subject, how
many various ways of stealing are there,
besides robbing hen roost, at which
mankind looks with indulgence. The
merchant who gives short weight and
measure, steals from his customer. So
does the quartermaster or commissary
who shaves trihe off each mans rations.
The man who sells diseased or vicious
horse does the same. Nevertheless, the
injury which such do to society, com
pared with liars and ISLANDERS, is triAing.
Now let us see in what light the Sa-
yior regarded these vices comparatively.
He tells the poor thief who was crucified
with him, "verily this day shalt thou be
with me in Paradise" On the contrary,
among those whom he declared it i'm
possible to enter the Kingdom of Heaven,
liars were specially enumerated.
II liars are held in such distinction,
what will be the portion of slanderers,
who are both liars and defamers? We
may guard against the thief, by using
necessary precautions; and even when
we are robbed, we lose what is not ire
parable. But how are we to guard
against liars and slanderers, who are
like Gssassins who stab in the dark p
The man who robs annother of his purse,
puts him to temporary inconvenience, OF
it may be distress. But he who robs
another of his reputation and character,
robs him of his all, and if a poor man, of
more than life. For when mans life
is terminated, his tolls for existence are
no longer necessary. But take away a
poor mans character, and you might rs
well take away his life, and better No,
the slanderer is worse than the murder
er, and infinitely more detestable than
the thief. A rude breath on tender
flower will blight and destroy it. SO
the breath of scandal on q young, timid
and unprotected female, will destroy her,
like the flower, which can lever revive,
but must wither and die What, then,
do liars and murderers deserve of man
kind? In former times, the thief was
branded in the hand, or ON the fore
head. But the liar and slanderer should
now be branded on the forehead, that
everybody may see the mark, and avoid
him, as they would mad dog.

Changing Pay Day.

By almost universal consent and usage,
Saturday OF Saturday night is the time
when the great majority of working
people are paid of, and the custom we
believe was imported from tie European
countries, where it runs back indefinitely.
Lately in, certain sections OF the Queens
dominions, the propriety of changing
pay day from Saturday to Monday has
been seriously discussed, and so far put
to the test as to conclusivoly prove the
wisdom of the change. The reasons
specified were principally in the inter
est of the employed, who were habitu-
ally given to squandering during Sunday
the wages in hand at the recurrence of
the weekly holy day, thus perverted into
mischievous holiday. But the result has
also proved advantageous to the en-
ployers and the community beyond, as
will be shown. First, as to the benefits
to the employed: When they receive
payment on Monday or Monday night,
they had literally no Time for carousal
and debauching indulgence that would
unfit them for the next days work.

To Cure FelOnS,

Too many persons suffer extremely
from felons on the finger. These afflic-
tions are not only very painful, but fire.
quntly occasion permanent Fcrippling of
the member affected. The following
simple prescription is recommended as a
cure for the distressing ailment: Take
common rock-salt, such as is used for
salting pork or beef, dry in an oven, then
pound fine and mix with spirits of tur-
pentine, equal parts. Put it on cloth
and wrap round he'parts affected, and
as it gets dry put on more, and in twen-
ty-four hours you are cured-the felon
will bo dead. 1t will do no harm to try
il.
