GRIEF OF THE MoDoc WoMEN.-A CORES.
pondentat Fort klamath says he was perfectly
unprepared for the frantic state of grief into
which the Modoc Indian women worked them
selves, when it was announced that there was
no hope for Capt. Jack and his companions.
They howled their weird death song, and
threw themselves on their doomed friends,
fawning them all over. Even the little chill
dren seemed to catch the infection, and they
cried and wept in the most finished style.
Jack appeared very much affected at meet,
ing his favorite squaw Lizzie and the little pa
poose His sister Mary was even more affect
ed, and worked herself into a perfect parox-
ysm of grief: The little girl even appeared
to comprehend the situation, and sobbed bit
terly. As Jack gave her one last fond EN-.
brace, the squaws returned to the stockade
and the murderers were left in their cells,
with no other companion than the gloomy
foreboding and anticipation of the morrow.
Old Sconchin met his family without much
visible emotion, but his children cried bitter
ly, and the squaws yelled as if the world was
coming to an end. The chief did not betray
any outward signs of agitation. He kissed
his little son repeatedly, and when just be.
fore retreat they were taken away, he laid
down in his cell and rolled himself like ball
in his blankets.

HARD WoRK.-"What is your secret of
success?" asked lady of Turner, the distin-
guished painter. He replied, 81 have no Sc
cret, madam, but hard work"
Says Dr. Arnold, "The difference between
one boy and another is not so much in talent
as in energy"
Nothing" says Reynolds, "is denied we'll
directed labor, and nothing is to be attained
without it"
Excellence in any department" says john
son, "can be attained only by the labor of a
lifetime; it is not to be purchased at lesser
price"
"There is but one method" said Sidney
Smith, "and that is hard labor; and man
who will not pay that price for distinction,
had better at once dedicate himself to the
pursuit of the fox"
"Step by step," reads the French proverb;
zone goes very far"
Nothing" says Mirabeau, "is impossible to
the man who can will, is that necessary?
That shall be- This is the only law Of sue
cess"
"Have you ever entered cottage, ever
travelled in a coach, ever talked with peasant
in the field, or loitered with a mechanic at
the loom," asks Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton,
"and not found that each of those men had a
talent you had not, knew something you knew
not? The most useless creature that ever
yawned at a club or counted the vermin on
his rags under the suns of Calabria, has no
excuse for want of intellect What men want
is not talent, it is purpose; in other words,
not the power to achieve, but the will to la
Dor. am no believer in genius, but be-
lieve that labor, iudiciously and continuously
applied, becomes genius"

REDEEMING LovE.-God so loved the
world; but that so may be heightened out to
eternity before the import of it can be told OF
fathomed. God so loved the world, won.
derful so indeed, and comprehensive beyond
the conception both of men and angels God
so loved the world, that he gave his only be.
gotten Son for it.
Had God given mountains of gold and sill
yer for us; had he told down for our ransom
all the treasures that lie hid in the bowels Of
the earth, or scattered throughout the whole
visible creation nay, had he emptied all the
holy angels in heaven of their glory, or even
reduced them to their first nothingness for
our sakes, all had been as nothing to his CIV
ing his only begotten Son to die for US.
Oh! the wonders, the miracles of love that
are wrapped up in this! Why, if the Scrip,
lures of truth had not so plainly revealed it
we could not have believed it and even af-
ter it is revealed our faith must be well fixed,
else it will stagger under it; for this is one Of
the deepest and most unfathomable mysteries
of Christianity.
Reader, have you embraced this wondrous
gift of infinite love-Jesus, the Saviour OF
sinners? Have you "eternal life," which is
"the gift of God in Jesus Christi" Oh the
love of God My soul rejoices in that love,
and in the expression of it, "Jesus Christ, y
my Saviour and Lord.

BED FOR THE SICK RooM.-Two narrow
beds, (iron bedsteds), with fresh hair or straw
mattresses, are the best. These beds are ca.
silly moved, and thus the patient will not
be compelled to look constantly at the same
cracks in the wall, or count the same three
spots in the corner. You can move him now
into shaded corner, now to the western win
dow, to see the sun 60 down; again, in front of
the fire, that he may look at it's cheerful
blaze, and anon into the most secluded cor
ner, that he may rest and sleep. All this is
an immense gain, and it is sure not onl ly to
comfort the invalid, but to shorten his sick
ness.
No matter what the malady may be, there
is more or less fever, and in every possible
case emanations from the skin render the bed
foul through and through. All the emana'
tions from our bodies are foul, and should be
got rid of as soon as possible. The only way
to manage it is to have two beds, and lift the
patient from one to the other When the bed
which has been in use from four to six hours
is released, the mattress and blankets should
be put where they can be thoroughly aired,
and if practicable, summed. This will not on.
ly shorten and mitigate the graver stages Of
the malady, but it will greatly hasten the
convalescence.

A POINTED QUEsr1oS.-A lady was stop
ping recently at Chicago hotel, with her lit
tie son. The boy was not perfectly satisfied
with matters and things at the dinner-table
and expressed himself frequently to that ef:
feet The mother finally rose, and remarked
in an undertone to the youthful offender:
"Come with me up stairs, and [ will attend
to your case"
The lad understood at once what "attending
to his case" meant, but there was an impor.
tant matter of detail which he was painfully
anxious to have more fully explained; So
pulling backward on the hand of his mother
he blubbered out, in voice loud enough to
be heard over most of the well-flled dining
room:
"say, mother, are you going to take your
hand or your slipper% ,
The enthusiasm with which this brief ad
dress was received was unbounded.

CHEAP JEWELRY.

It is wonderful to see the immense amount
of cheap jewelry which is displayed in our
city stores, and now indeed we can hardly
find country village, which has not some
small case in q conspicuous place, filled with
ffty-cent breast-pins, twenty-fve-cent ear
rings, and bracelets, necklaces, and studs at
the same low prices No wonder that these
paltry ornaments become great temptations
to smple-minded shop girls, and to all the
young misses of our seminaries and boarding
schools, and the girls in our kitchens.
My attention was called to the subject of
"cheap jewelry," by short conversation
overheard between two schoolgirls the other
day, about twelve years of age. One of them
was dressed very fashionably, with rufhes and
trimmings enough for lady, long pendants
hanging from her ears, and her collar orna-
mented with highly.colored brooch; the
other child was simply dressed, her only Or
nament bow of plain ribbon under her chin.
"Why don't you wear jewelry, Lizzie %
said the most gayly dressed of the two. "You
would look very pretty with earrings, and I
never saw you even with breast.pin on"
"My mother says she does not like to see
little girls wear jewelry; and she would not
be willing to allow me to waste money in buy
ing it either" answered Lizzie
"Nonsense they don't cost much. I have
seven sets; and some of them were only two
shllings set ; and half the people would not
know but what they are real. I think we
ought to look as pretty as we can.'
"Mother says" answered Lizzie quietly,
that it is acting lie to wear 'make.believe
things and do not think you would like to
have any of your seven sets spoken of by their
right names, brass and glass'-for they are
nothing else"
heard no more, but felt that these two
children unconsciously had laid bare the root
of the evil. This wearing much jewelry leads
to love of display, and fondness for dress,
which is one Of the great temptations of the
day. The fatal love of adornment has led
many fair and innocent girl, step by step,
down the broad road that leads to utter ruin
both of body and soul.-American Messenger.

THE MOTHER AS A HAIR.CUrrER.-You
can always tell a boy whose mother cuts his
hair. Not because the edges of it look as if
it had been chewed off by an absent-minded
horse but you tell it by the way he stops,
on the street and wriggles his shoulders,
When fond mother has cut her boys hair
she is careful to guard against any annoyance
and muss by laying sheet on the carpet.
1t has never yet occurred to her to sit him
over bare floor and put the sheet around his
neck. Then she draws the front hair over
his eyes, and leaves it there, while she cuts
that which is at the back. The hair which
lies over his eyes appears 10 be surcharged
with electric needles, and that which is ST.
lently dropping down under his shirt-band
appears to be on fire. She has unconciously
continued to push his head forward until his
nose presses his breast and is too busily en-
gagged to notice his snufaing sound that is be-
coming alarmingly frequent. In the mean
time he is seized with an irresistible desire to
blow his nose but recollects that his handker-
chief is in the other room. Then fly lights
on his nose, and does it so unexpectedly that
he involuntary dodges, and catches the points
of the shears in his left ear. At this he COM
mences to cry and wish he was a man.
But his mother doesn't notice him. She
merely hits him on the other ear, to inspire
confidence, and goes on with thework. When
she is through, she holds his jacket collar
back from his neck, and with her mouth
blows the short bits of hair down his back.
He calls her attention to this fact, but she
looks for new place on his head and hits
him there, and asks him why he didn't use
his handkerchief Then he takes his awfuly
disfgured head to the mirror and looks at it,
and, young as he is, shudders as he thinks
of what the boys on the street will say.-Dan.

Bssr A remarkable instance of prudence mis-.
placed occurred winter before last at Frank
fort, Kentucky Cincinnati was deeply in
terested in the success of a railroad bill, to
which determined opposition was manifested
by other interests. A secret meeting of Gin
cinnati capitalists was called. Twenty thou
sand dollars were subscribed and paid in at
once to be used "where it would do the most
good" with the Kentucky Legislature. The
money was placed in the hands of B., a we'll
known citizen of Cincinnati, and thus "staked,"
he went to Frankfort, and remained there in
close communion with the Legislature until
his bill was most disastrously defeated. Upon
returning to Cincinnati he called the subscri-
bers of the fund together and reported his ac-
ton.
"Well, B." asked one of his friends, "did
you distribute all the money!"
'Not dollar of it, sir. Here it is, every
cent. The members were willing enough to
take it, but they aoouldn't give receipts and l
was not coming back without either the money
or vouchers for it."
