A new light has been invented which
will be cheap and safo subsii Iutc for oil,
burning fluid or coal gas. 1t is British
invention, and is simply an ordinary
electric machine intensified. The process
of producing the current is 30 simple that
everyone wonders that IL was not thou hi
of long before, just as everybody won
dcrcd why they had not forstallsd the dis
coycry Of Morse's electric telegraph. Two
or two and half horse power engines ro-
tate three bobbins of broad edged discs,
covered with copper wire, and acting upon
six pa irs Of soft iron parallel bars s'mi-
larly covered. .,
Magnets are entirely dispensed with,
there being no battery brought into the
circuit in any shape. The electricity
evolved by this machine was estimated to
equal the currents produced by five hun
drcd of Bunson's cells. A pure and steady
white light was produced, and thrown
upon the street, equal to that of seven
thousand candles. The light is steady,
the heat intense For instance, n plat
inum wire was melted in forty seconds,
and copper wire in less than two.
A solid steel screw four inches long was
burned away in five minutes, and piece
of diamond, the most difficult of substances
to burn, was reduced to vapor in few
seconds.
Ore can be smeltcd at half the expense
Of the ordinary process, while light can
be produced so cheaply that it will etlectu-
ally break up all the gas monopolies in
both Europe and America. The invention
is exhibited at the Vienna Exposition.

The servants right to he politely treated
is Just as absolute and indefcasble as that
of the queen. She is a child of the Grea
King, and to her applies the royal law,
according to the Scripture, 4" Tnou shalt
love thy neighbor rs thy self" That law,
which is the highest of all, surely includes
politeness. If we are bound to love our
neighbors as ourselves We are bound to
treat them courteously, at any rate. That
is one of the first and most rudimenial OF
our duties to them. Your servant, dear
madam, is your neighbor-the nearest Of
all your neighbors. She has right, then,
under this royal law-which is itself the
spirit OF all just laws-to be courteously
treat d by you.
1t is no more condescension for you to
use respect and gentleness in your inter-
course with her than it is for her to sweep
your floors and build your fires. You are
entitled to no more credit for speak king
kindly to her than you are for not stealing
her pocket handkerchiefs. IL you do moi
govern yourself in ally yur conversation
with her by the same laws Of courtesy
which you observe in your conversation
with the callers in your parlor, you are
very vulgar person. The maid in your
kitchen is a woman; the guest in your par.
lOr is nothing more.
Will you give to silks and feathers nd
purse what you deny to womauhood
That is the very essence of ulgarity. Dc
not say that the guest never tries youl
temper, as the servant does. You know
that many of those whom you greet will
smiles tell lies about you when you ar
beyond their sight. The laws of goo'
manners lead you to treat their deceitful
ness with forbearance, Should they no
require equal forbearan ce toward the gir
! in your kitchen

An. Itcn, Which Every Man Should
Esend.

Esend.
We have probably all Of us met with in
stances in which word heedlessly spoken
against the reputation Of female has
been magnitied by ma licious minds until
he cloud has been dark enough to over
shadow her whole existence To those
who are accustomed, not necessarily from
bad motives, but from though tlessness- to
speak lightly of ladies, we recommend
these "hints' as worthy of consideration :
Never use lady's name in improper
places, at an improper time, or in mixed
company. Never make assertions about
her that you think untrue, Or illusions
that you think she herself would blush to
hear.
When you meet with men who do not
scruple to mako use of womans name in
n reck less and unprincipled mannar, shun
them-they are the very worst members
Of the community-men lost to every
sense Of honor, every feeling of humanity.
Mnny good and worthy woman's char
acter has been forever ruined and her
heart broken by q lie manufactured by
some villain, and repeated where it should
not have been, and in the presence Of
those whose little judgment could not de-
ter them from circulating the foul and
| Dragging report.
A slander is soon propagated, and the
sma Hest thing dcrogatory to woman s
character will fly on the wings of the
wind, and magnify as ii circuates, until
its monstrous weight crushes the poor un-
con scious victim. Respect the name OF
woman; your mother and sisters are wo-
men, and as you would have their fair
names untarnished, and their lives unem-
bittered by the slaRderer's bitter tongue
heed the ills your own words may bring
upon the mother, the sister or the wife OF
some fellow creature.

The EG.e, Of Tobacco on the Mind.

IL il mn Acknowledged principle in
phys ology that whatsoever enfeebles the
body must, in the end in some degree,
on nfeeble the mind. This is pre-eminently
true of tobacco. That IL causes loss OF
memory, is a fact long known to physi-
,ians. Such was tho opinion OF DR.. Gull
len, the celebrated physician and medical
author of Edinburg. Such was the opin-
ion of Dr. Rush, the father Of American
Medicine. Other men Of note, too, beside
physicians have testified TO the same fact.
The Abbe Mignc, in letter Of late date
to the director of one of the great semina-
ries in Paris, condemning the use Of to-
bacco, makes mention of it. In this con-
nection, NJ. Moigno, author of various
mathematical treatises, gives his own eS-
pericncc. ,lIc was nm inveterntc snutte"
and smoker from which he said he cx-
perienced dimin ishing sensibility ofthc
nervous system, and rapid loss of mem
ory, not only of things which had occurred
some time previously, but of passing
events. He had learned several languages
by their roots. hut was often at loss for
n werd. Alarmed Mt this condition Of
things, he resolved to renounce the use of
snuff and cigars forever.
He soon after recovered his memory
completely, and also his nervous sensibil-
ity. NJ. Berillou found that Of the PHpils
attending the Polytechnic, at Paris, lO2
smoked while So did not. Arranging tho
two categores in the order Of merit, nc-
cording to the examination, he fsu d that
the non.smokers held in every grade a
higher rank, and that smokers deteriorat-
ed from their entering to their leaving the
school. Facts like these induced tho Min
lister of Public Instructions, in 1861, to
issue TO the directors of colleges and schools
throughout the French Empire, circular
forbidding tobacco to the studenis.-[ Her

Don't Bex a ChiId's Ears, but Fan His
lsay window With a Slipper

Childreu's ears ought never TO be boxed.
We have seen that the passage OF the ear
is closed by thin membrane, especially
adapted 10 be influenced by every i'm
pulse of the air, and with nothing but the
air to support it internally. What then
can be more likely to iDjure this mem
brane than sudden and forcible COM
preston of the air in front of it2 lf any
one designed to brake or overstretch the
membrane, he could scarcely devise
more effective means than to bring the
hand suddenly and forcibly down upon
the passage oflthe ear, thus driving the air
violently before it, with no possibility for
its escap pc but by the membrane givin 6
way. And far too often il does give way,
especially il, from any previous disease,
it has been weakened. Many children
are made deaf by boxes on the ear In
this way.
Nor is this The only way; if there is
one thing which does the nerve of hearing
more harm than almost any other, 1t is a
sudden jar or shock. Children and grown
persous alike may be entirely deafened by
falls or heavy blows upon the head. And
boxing the ears produces similar ehect,
though more slowly and in less degree
1t tends TO dull the sensibility OF tae
nerve, even if it does not hurt The mem

q poor youth who died from n terrible dis

hearing had been dull and what had
happened was that his father had often
boxed his ears for inattenIon. Most
likely that boxing on the ear, diseased as
il was, had much to do with his dying.
And this brings me to the second point.
Children should not be blamed for mat
tention until it has been found out wheth-
er they are little deaf. This is easily
done BY placing them at a few yards dis
tance, and trying whether they can unds r.
stand what is said to them in rather low
tone of voice. Each ear should be tried
