When Jenny Lind was in this country
she once attended the Bethel Church in
Boston, where the wellremembered Father
Taylor was pastor. The good man, who
did not know that she was present, was re-
quested, as he entered the house to preach
on amusemenis. The church was crowd
ed, and the pulpit stairs were filled. The
sermon opposed dancing. card playing,
and theatre-going. but approved music.
The preacher paid glowing tribute to the
power of song, and to the goodness. mod
esty, and charity of the sweetest OF all
singers, now lighted on these shores. Jen-
ny Lind was leaning forward, and clappine
her hands with delight, when tall person
rose on the pulpit stairs and inquired
whether any one who died at one of Miss
Lind's concerts would 60 to heaven: Dis
gust and contempt swept across Father
Taylor face, as he glared at the interlop-
er. "A Christian will go to heaven where
ever he dies; and fool will be fool
wherever he is-even if he is on the steps
of the pulpit"

Hints 10 Young Ladies.

Some folks are very charming at
evening parties; but surprise them in
the morning when not looking for
company, and the enchsntment ID
gone. There is good renee in the follow
ing advice to young ladies: Your every
day toilet is part ofyour character. A
girl who looks like q "fury" or q
"tlOven" Is not to be trusted, however
finely she may look in the evening.
No matter how humble your room
may be, there are eight things it should
contain: . mirror, washstand, soap,
towel, comb. bair-brush, nail-brush,
and toothbrush. These are just ~
essential as your breakfast, before
which you should make use of them.
Parents who fail to provide most Of
their children with such appliances
not only make great nistake, but
commit . Gin of omission. Look tidy
in the morning, and after dinner work
Is over improve your toilet. Make 1t q
rule of your daily life to "dress up
for the afternoon. Your dress may
not, or need not be anything better
than calico; but with . ribbon, or some
bit of ornament, you can have an all
of self-Tespect ana satisfaction that in
variabIy comes with being we'll
dressed. A girl with fine sensibilities
cannot help feeling embarrassed in .
ragged and dirty dress, with her hair
unkempt, should . stranger come in.
Moreover, your self-rerpect should de-
mand the decent appafelling Of your
body. You should make it q point Ia
look ~ we'll a. you can even II you
know nobody viii see you but y our
self.

How Much Q Fly Eats.

A curious calculation has been made by
an eccentric individual, well known in
Paris for his peculiar antipathy to the fly.
He collected 5000 flies in q room measur-
ing seventy cubic feet. On the floor he
spread pounded loaf sugar At the end
offour days he went to investigate the result
of his experiment. There remained tea
spoonful Of sugar. This statistician, there
fore, calculates that sugar being at the
rate of thirteen cents pound, q fly. costs
the country twenty cents from its birth to
its demise-that is, if fed on loaf sugar.

Sleep a. q Medicine.

The cry for rest has always been louder
than for food Not that it is more impor
tant. but it is often harder to get. The
best rest comes from sound sleep. OF two
men or women, otherwise equal, the one
who sleeps the best will BE- the most moral
healthy, and efficient. Sleep will do much
to cure irritability of temper, peevisbness
and uneasiness 1t will restore to vigor an
overworked brain. 1t will build up and
make strong an overworked. body. II will
,elieve the languor and prdstration felt by
consumptives. 1t will cure bydrophobia,
1t will cure the headache. 1t will care the
heartache 1t will cure broken spirit. II
will cure sorrow. Indeed. We might make
q long list of nervous maladies that it will
cure. The cure of slecplessness requires q
clean, good bed, sufficient exercise to pro-
duce WEAKNESS, pleasant acccupation, good
ali. and not too warm Q room, freedom from
too much care. clear stomach, clear con-
science, and avoidance of stimulants and
narcotics. For those who are overworked,
haggard, nervous, and who pass sleep 'ess
nights, we commend the adoption OF such
habits as shall secure sleep, otherwise life
will be short, and what there is of it sadly
imperfect. 1t-
