UNGUARDED LANGUAGE ABOUT WOMEN
We have probably all of us met with instances
in which a word heedlessly spoken against the
reputation of female has been magnihed by
malicious minds until the cloud has been dark
enough to ovcrshadOw her whole existence.
To those who are accustomed, not necessarily
from bad motive, but from thoughtlessness-
to speak lightly of the ladies, we recommend
these hints as worthy of consideration:
Never use lady's name in an improper
place, at an improper time, or i'll mixed com
pany. Never make assertions about her that
vou think untrue, or illusions that you think
she herself would blush to hear When you
meet with men who do not scruple to use a
woman's name in reckless manner, shun
them; they are the very worst members OF the
community, men lost to every sense OF honor,
every feeling of humanity. Many good and
worthy woman's character has been forever
ruined and her heart broken by a lie manufac-
tured by some villain, and repeated where 1t
should not have been, and in the presence oil
those whose little judgment could not deter
them from circulating the foul and Dragging
report. A sander is soon propagated, and the
smallest thing derogatory to woman's char,
octer will fly on the wings of the wind and
magnify as it circulates, until its monstrous
weight crushes the poor, unconscious victims
Respect the name of woman your mother anc
sisters are women, and as you would have theii
fair name untarnished, and their lives unem
Uttered by the slanderers bitter tongue, heec
the i'll your own word may bring upon the
mother. the sister or the wife OF some fellow
creature.

A TOUCHING INc1DBNr.--A short time
since, in this city, brilliant and much ad-
mired lady, who had been suffering for some
time with trouble of the eyes, was led to fear
a speedy change for the worse, and Immediately
consulted her physician. An examination dis
covered sudden and fatal falling in of the
optic nerve, and the information was impaired
as gently as possible, that the patient could not
retain her sight more than few days at most,
any moment. The afflicted mother returned to
her home, quietly made such arrangements; as
would occur to one about to commence SO dark
a journey of life, and then had her two children,
attired in their brightest and sweetest costumes,
brought before her; and so, with their little
faces lifted to hers, and tears gathering for
some great misfortune that they hardly real
lied, the light faded out of the mothers eyes,
leaving an inefaceable picture of those dearest
to her on earth-a memory of bright faces that
will console her in many dark hour.-Coring-
ton (Ky.) Journal.

HOME READINe-one of the most pleasant
and noblest duties Of the head of the family is
to furnish its members with good and interest
ing reading. Let good reading go into a home,
and the very atmosphere of that home grad
ually but surely changes. The boys begin to
grow ambitious, to talk about men, places,
books, the past and the future. The girls be-
gin to feel new life opening before them in
knowledge, duty and love. They see new fields
of usefulness and pleasure; and so the family
changes, and out Of its number will grow in
tclligent men and women to fill honorable
places, and be useful members of society. Let
the torch of intelligence be lit in every house
hold. Let the old and young vie with each
other in introducing new and useful topics of
investigation, and in cherishing love of read
ing, study and improvement.

DECLINED TO ANswER.-Somebody writes
to the San Francisco Chronicle to ask whom
Cain married. The Chronicle sternly replies
eve are sorry to be obliged to refuse to answer
this question. Upon any subject of a public
nature we never refuse to throw the desired
light. But this is altogether different thing. 1t
is a family matter, with which we do not dare to
meddle Cain died some time before many of
lis were born, and such idle curiosity regarding
the family affairs of deceased person we re-
gard as reprehensible and calculated to violate
the sanctities of domestic life. For these rea-
sons, and because we do not wish TO injure the
feelings of the relatives of the deceased, we
decline to answer the question"

HINTS TO OWNERS OF WATCHEs.-A watch
is a most delicate machine, and very little
thing is enough to damage its system, and
make it so too fast or too slow, or to arrest the
motion OF its wheels, and it is just that very
little thing that you don't take any notice Of.
Show us your watch, and we'll tell you what
are the habits of its owner.
A person of irregular habits will spoil the
best watch in the world Careless or inexact
people will always have watches that 60 fast or
slow-or that 60 both fast and slow by turns.
If you can't be steady and regular in your
habits, you need not expect to have watch
that you can rely OH.
All the best watchmakers in the world will
be Unable to give your watch that regularity
which is lacking in yourself, and which you
cannot, therefore, preserve in your watch, and
which you destroy rs fast as the watch is regu-
lated. For watch should be wound up every
day at the same hour, and as soon as possible
in the morning.
The operation of winding up watch should
never be performed carelessly or roughly; but,
on the contrary, with great precaution espe-
turn to the key. Then you should gently mod
crate the movement, so as not to wind the watch
up too tight. You should always take good
care to fl the keyhole before commencing.
1t is net good plan to carry the key about
with you, unless it is kept in case and never
carry it loose in your pocket, as it is liable TO
get dust into it, which you will introduce into
the watch, from time to time, in winding it up,
to its great detriment.
Never, under any circumstances but those OF
extreme necessity, open the interior compart,
ment-that which contains the machinery ol
the watch.
In winding up the watch, the hand that
holds it should remain perfectly steady and
without rnotion.
The hands may be advanced or set back
when necessary, without any harm being done
to the watch, although contrary to the popular
notion OH the subject.

Too Much Study.

1t is urged in great many quarters that
children are compelled to study more hours
than they should be- Not very long ago Tile
Independent cried out strongly for reform in
this particular. After broadly declaring that
the health, happiness and morals of the chill
dren are sinned against, that journal went on
to say:
The teachers are not to blame. The Super.
intendents are not to blame School Boards are
not to blame. It is public opinion that is to
blame. The remedy is easy and obvious
and limit the indoor school-day to four hours
at the longest. This would not be an expert.
ment. 1t is demonstrated, an established, an
acknowledged expedient of wisdom in education.
The Germans have been our pioneers and have
solved the problem. Experiments, conducted
with exhaustive German patience and skill,
have settled the fact beyond dispute or cavil,
that it is every way an economy to abreviate
and to concentrate the application of school
children to their studies. Greater proficiency
in acquisition has been found to result from
less time spent in the school room.
The remedy is, therefore, plain enough. But
the application of the remedy is difficult. Pub
lie opinion is not ready. The mass of parents
and voters and Taxpayers are not yet sufficient
ly informed on this point. The antiquated no.
tion still widely prevails that the more time
children spend in school the more progress
they make in knowledge and in the capacity
for gaining knowledge. 1t is great mistake.
The customs of the day actually make larger
demands on the children for mental work than
adult people themselves can possibly stand.
Five and six hours in school, two or three
hours at home, make a days work which would
wear men and women out prematurely in the
use of the brain. But this is about the average
measure which we murderously demand of our
children. 1t is infanticide 1t is more refined,
it is slower, it is more decorous but it is
scarcely less effectual than the exposure of in
fants as practiced by the ancients.
There is just one refuge left for the poor
little children thus hunted down and helpless
in our hands. They use it abundantly, and
who can blame them? We require them to
spend so much time in ostensible study. That
they have to do, for we possess the power. But
the little prosecuted sufferers have an alterna-
tive. They must study the prescribed hours,
but they can study as listlessly as they please.
Four hours daily, suitably distributed, they
might, perhaps, spend with profit in good,
downright mental application. But they must
spend six or eight in application of some sort
It is impossible that they should spend them
WELL They, therefore, spend them i'll. They
spend them in slackening and scattering their
powers of attention, instead of strengthening
and concentrating them. In other words, they
regularly and inevitably defeat the best object
of their attendance at school, in place of Sc
curing it.-.imerican Rural Home.

MAKING AND SAvING-There is great
deal of wisdom in the following paragraphs
from the Kansas Farmer, and we commend
the sentiments contained therein to our readers
here and elsewhere, because they will save
them trouble and expense if their spirit be
carefully adhered to:
1t is not what we make that enriches us, but
what we save. Nor is it what we read that
adds to our wisdom, but what our head retains,
and our own genius enables us to make practi-
cal use of, just as it is not what We eat that
makes us fat, but what our digestive organs as
simulate These truisms should teach US to
study our calling better, whatever it may be,
and if We find that our permanent material
property is not increasing in proportion to our
daily wages, we must ascertain the cause.
We have known many farmers who raised
annually large crops of all kinds of farm pro-
ducts, and yet, who at the end of the year,
when the debts were all squared up, and the
merchant and the doctor paid, and suit of
clothes bought for the family, had little else to
show for the years work, and they are contin-
ualy complaining of the unprotitableness of
farming. The fact was, however, that they
wasted annually what would have amounted to-
a good income to deposit in the bank, or 10
invest in additional stock or improved farm
implements, had it been saved. They forgot
the twenty dollars damage occasioned by the
cattle Breaking into the cornfeld, through their
neglect in repairing the fence at the proper
time. They forgot that ten bushels of wheat
were spoiled, by. being garnered in the field
covered simply with straw, instead of having a
good stout granary to store it in. They forgot
the oats and barley destroyed by rats and mice.
They forgot that their COWS were giving but
half the amount of milk they would, had they
had good winter quarters that their calves
were stunted, and that one whole litter of pigs
were lost from the same cause.
We could go on and name twenty other
sources of loss that they forgot, when they
were deploring their Improbable labor The
frozen potatoes and fruit, the tools destroyed
by being exposed to the weather, and many.
others that will readily occur to the mind Of
the thrifty farmer. These when they are all
footed up, had they been all saved, would have
left them four or five hundred dollars as nest
egg in bank.
Let each one who reads this article, ask him
self honestly, if it means him. If it does act
upon the hints here given, to prevent repcti-
ton of chem this year.

my brethren and sisters? Whar are you
Some huttering like wounded doves, down,
down to the lake whar they cry fur drop OF
water to cool the parched tongue, where Laza-
rus was poor Dives bosun-or a mounting up
on wings of eagles-whar they shall run and
not get weary, whar they shall walk and not
faint. Nevertheless, Notwithstanding, fur
which.
And that brings lis to another pint of our
discourse, which is, He taketh 'em. And thars
different ways of taking things. Thar's people
with mighty takin' ways, and thar's officers
that takes you to jail-and thar's boys that
takes apples and peaches, which things they
oughtent-and thar's people that takes you
in-which isn't meant for the good uns which
take strangers in and keer on 'em-like unto
the Gommorians when Lots wife was took into
the house like pillar of salt and divided into
four quarters and sent into the land of Israel,
for which the anger burnt agin 'em-for the
hurt of the daughter of Israel were sore.
But He taketh them-I don't mean the
eagles-and leads them to near pastures and
beside still waters, whar there's no more sigh
ing and suffering, no more weeping and part
ing-fur
parents and children thar shall meet
Parents and children thar shall meet!
Parents and children thar shall meet!
Shall meet to part no more,
On Canaan's happy shore"
Imagine all this uttered in the most impas-
stoned manner, the tears at times streaming
down the preachers face, and the quotations
psalm-book, Mother Goose or Franklin's apho-
risms-chanted with rich, full voice, and you
can get glimpse of Father Carter in his
palmy days.
