A FEARFUL VISITOR,

The Paris SOir relates the follow.
ing story: ga Nine. Bonneau, living
in the Rue Descstes, was sitting in
her parlor few days since, awaiting
her husbands return to dinner, when
man Of wild and haggard appear
ance entered, and seating himself
opposite to her, addressed her in the
following terms: 81 am a great doc
tor. l can effectually cure all head
aches. have heard that you suffer
from that cause, and 1 have come to
cure YOU" The lady, preceiving that
she had to deal with a madm an,
prudently seemed to fall into his
humor, and asked what was his
method Of treatment. "Simply
enough, Madam" said he drawing
a razor from his pocket, 81 cut off
the head, and then, after having we'll
cleaned it, 1 replace it upon the
shoulders. Upon this he prepared
to suit the action to his words. Nine.
Bonneau, with great GOODNESS, pro.
fessed her readiness to submit to the
operation, but suggested that she
should fetch a towel from the mex,
room to prevent her dress being
stained. Her visitor assented to tht
reasonableness ofthis suggestion, and
she left the room, looking the door
behind her. Upon her return with
some police officers they found tha
the unfortunate maniac had cut hi
own throat, but not fatally. 1t wal
ascertained that he had escaped
from the lunatic asylum At Clermon
les Pres, and had been vainly sough
for during a whole month";"

GIRLS, DON'T TALK LANC.

Girls don't talk slang. If it Is nec-
essary that any one in the family
should do it, let your big brother,
though l would advise him not tc
adopt "pigeon English" when there
is an elegant systematized language
that he can just as well use. But
aont yo@ do it. You can have no
IDEA how 1T sounds to ears unused or
averse to it, to hear a young lady say
whsn she is asked to 60 with you to
some place, "Not much !" or if re-
quested to do something that she
does not wish, to hear her say "Can't
see it."
Not long ago ] heard a young miss
who Is educated, and accomplished, -,
IN speaking OF a young man say, that
she offended to ego for him p and
whom her sister asked her assistance
At some work she answered "Not for
Joseph !"
Now, young ladies of unexception-
able character q nd really good edu-
cation fall into this habit thinking it
shows smartness to answer in these
slang phrases, ind they soon slip
tiippantly from their tongues with a
saucy pertness that is neither lady
like nor becoming.
81 bet" or you bet is well enough
among men who are trading horses
or land but the contrast is startling
and positively shocking to hear
these words issue from the lips of a
young lady. They seem at once to
surround her with the rougher asso-
Citations of men g daily life, and bring
her down from the pedestal of puri-
ty, to their own coarse level.

DR.. r. T. Trail, in the Philadelphia
Star, is very cheerful prophet. He
says we are a pproaching the climax
of q pestilential period. From 1880
to 1885 the planets Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune will approach
the earth nea arer than they have for
1900 years. Whenever any of the
four have come near enough for US
to feel its influence, pestilence, fam
inc, extremes of heat and cold have
been the result. Now we are to have
the influence of the four combined,
and he predicts that all manner OF
evils that grow cut of atmospheric
changes will be upon US. To lesson
the calamity the world is urged to
use the strictest sanitary measures,
and by health and cleanliness coun-
teract the effect of our unwel-
come neighbors. The world is
much better able to care for itself
than it was 200 or 800 years ago,
and by care we may avert much of
the danger. To the following class
es he gives very cold comfort: "The
dissipated, the glutton, the debauche
may calculate on being among the
first victims. Young men who devi-
talize themselves by tobacco-using,
and young ladies who destroy one
half of their breathing capacity by
fashionable dress and tight lacing,
will never survive the perihelion of
all the large planets of the solar sys-
tenn. And perhaps it will be best
thew should not"

A SIMPLE SECRET.

Twenty clerks in a store, twenty
hands in a printing Office, twenty
apprentices in ship-yard, twenty
young men in a village-all want to
get on in the W orld, and expect to
do so. One of the clerks will become
partner, and make a fortune; one
OF the compost tors will own news
paper, and become an influential cit
izen one of the apprentices will be-
come a master builder one of the
young villagers will get good farm,
and live like a patriarch-but which
one is the most lucky Individual !?
Lucky? There is no luck about it.
The thing is almost as certain as the
rule OF three. The young man who
Will distance b his competitors is he
who masters b his business, who pre-
serves his integrity, who lives pure
ly and cleanly, who devotes his
leisure to the acquisition of knowl-
edge, who gains friends by deserv-
ing them, and who saves his spare
money. There are some ways to
fortune shorte er than this old dusty
highway, but the staunch men ofthe
community, the men who achieved
something really worth having, good
fortune, good name, serene old age,

NEITHER POLITICAL NOR RELIC.
IOUS.

There is no wiser provision in the
Constitution of the order of Patrons
of Husbandry, than that which pro-
vides that neither political nor relig
ious discussions. shall be tolerated in
the Oranges. 1t is evident the
founders of the order, gathering
wisdom from the history OF the past,
determined TO exclude all those
elements which would work its own
destruction. Past experience has
taught one lesson that cannot be for
gotten nor Ignored by political
tactician. A party, society organiza-
ton, or an ism of any kind, with but
one idea-its whole energies absorb
ed with one object, should never
euter the political fields with the
declared purpose of eleeting to
office men to take charge of the vast
and complicated affairs of the State
or nation. 1t has been stated by
learned PSYCHOLOGISTS that men who
make one idea their exclusive study,
and especially if chat aubject invos-
yes their own personal interests, are
invariably to greater or less degree
monomaniac, and are obtuse to all
the other demands of the government
or the people. And yet no great
perfection can be attained, or great
object carried forward, except some
leading genius devote his entire
energies to it. But those energies
must necessarily be directed by some
cooler head and better balanced
judgment. The temperance party,
noble in its purpose, has tried its one
idea policy In politics, and ignobly
failed, as it shonld as a political
party. The anti-slavery party as a
political organization, could never
make a respectable show; as agita-
tors, and in proclaiming the great
truths of human freedom, they were
power for good, they could never
have achieved their object by sep
arate political organization, for the
people would never trust the men Of
one idea, with all of the affairs OF
this nation. But so soon as they
united with great national party,
with a platform of broad and
liberal principles, their influences in
directing its operations were potent.
The same can be said of all fac
tions who are carried away with the
Importance of their pet idea. The
Working Mems party-the Tariff
Reformers-the Anti. Masons--the
Native Americans-God in the Con-
stitutions, etc., are all miserable
failures as independent political or.
