Present Duty.

THE way to make easy times is as clear
as daylight.
Let every man or woman who owes
money pay it at once, if possible.
Be willing to make a sacrifice in order
to meet promptly all your engagements.
Stop grumbling at the faults or mis-
takes of others, and attend faithfully to
your own affairs.
Deal fairly, leniently and cheerfully
with all persons who owe you or are in
pecuniary trouble.
If you are out Of debt, thank the Lord
and then go round among your friends,
and enemies too, if you have them, and
render them all the assistance in your
power.
Don't hoard your money; but loan it or
use it to relieve the needy, on the same
principle as you would give bread to the
needy in the day of famine.
Do what you can in every way to relieve
pecuniary distress, to check the current
of financial embarrassments and restore
public confidence.
Ii you are a bank officer or director
don't be cross a minute. Smile as a Chris
tlan duty from morning till night. Give
an encouraging word, if possible, to all,
and by all means strain every nerve to
help all who need it--N. Y. Independent.

A YOUNG lady gave a social hop at her
residence in Charleston, S. c., a few nights
ago, and noticing that several of her
young gentlemen guests had business out
side frequently, she watched and ascer-
talnedfhat their pilgrimages were to her
tansy Jed. She visited the shrine herself,
soon after, and discovered eight quart
bottles of whisky, which she %inconsider-
ately destroyed, and her young men went
no more to the tansy bed.

Social Customs.

PERHAPS it is the highest test Of good
breeding to be able to accept and bear an
unusual load of obligation without allow
ing the friend who cOnfers the favor to
think you feel overburdened. Ill-bred
people who are i'll at ease in their company
manners, generally meet all protfered
courtesies at first as though they could on
no account think of accepting them. Thus,
when the gentleman who carves the
chicken asks you which bit you prefer,
believe that he asks because he would be
pleased to know, and tell him. instead of
saying what is obviously a whatd'-ye
call-it, that it makes not the slightest diff
ference; and when the lady at the other
end of the table protfers you a second
piece of pie, if you want it, say so. 1t is
the least compliment you can pay her for
giving you a seat at her table, Don't keep
on in the old New England fashion OF
saying "No," with a 0 and glance
which convey the u~nmistakable gloss,
"1es, but | want a little urging."-B0s-

While all the other Indian tribes of
the West have lost ground as civilization
has advanced, the Sioux, who number
10000, with $500 warriors, control more
territory than ever before.

THE attention OF our readers is called to
the attractive advertisement Of j. \. Harms
& Co., advertising their great and valuable
lung remedy, " Aliens Lung Balsam.. ms
Balsam has been before the public for ten
years. Notwithstanding this long period, 1t
has never lost one whit of its popularity, or
shownt the least sign of becoming unpopular,
but, on the contrary, the call for it has been
constantly increasing, and at no previous tune
has the demand been so great, or the quantity
made been so large, as at this day. we earn
estly recommend its trial by any one who may
be afflicted with a cough or cold, and we war
rant it to cure if directions are followed. 1t

Junction he lost so. This WAS all the
money he had. but his blood was up.
and he had hauled out Il heavy gold
watch to stake on the next bet. when
the conductor passed along. Seeing
what was going on, Wilsey told the old
man to put up his watch. At this one
of the gamblers snatched it, saying, i
