BE Kind to the Poor.

Aye, be kind to them! Ye who
have never felt the bitter pangs OF
hunger, who have never passed
through dreary winter with chatter
ing teeth and limbs palsied with cold,
who have never prayed for the sweet
forgetfulness of sleep, to shut out,
for brief season, the frost whose
icy breath struck chill to your heart,
and who have never been a prey to
the canker worm of grief and misery,
which all sufferings entail, we pray
you, bekind to the poorl
Be kind to the poor. Yes, for the
blessings OF prosperity which heaven
has showered upon you will yieldyou
] otrus happiness if others are starv-
ing. Heaven has placed you on earth,
has exposed you to like chances of
want and wretchedness. In a phar-
isaical spirit, then, thank not God
"that you are not as other men," but
rather with the publican, humbly sue
for mercy, and enhance the efficiency
of prayer by charity and kindness.
A satisfied conscience sheds q peace
and comfort through the heart and
soul, without which the immortal
spirit eau not be satisfied. Follow
not, then, after the selfshness of the
world around you, unless, like Dives,
thou wouldst hereafter share his re-
ward, and, amid thy torments, see
the poor man afar off in Abrahams
bosom.
Be kind to the poor. Earth has
more sorrow than the heart can CON
tain, more suffering than frail human
nature can bear. The widow, left
alone to toll and struggle beneeth the
desolat;on of bereavement,appeals, in
tones more eloquent than words, for
your sympathy and aid. The helpless
orphan, brought into the world and
left alone by the relentless hand of
death, claims your guardianship and
protection. SO do the children of
penmy, "because the poor ye have
always with you" and, as you expect
a continuance of the mercies and
blessings of heaven, SO be thou merci-
full to others; then shall the gate of
plenty be opened to thee, and the
pillow of peace kiss thy cheek.

Mr.. Peter Craig, a San Francisco
undertaken, claims the discovery of a
new method of preventing the decom-
position of corpses. Believing that
oxygen was the destroying element,
he experimented with an air-tight
burial casket, relying upon burning
candle placed within to consume the
oxygen. He found that after the lid
was screwed down air-tght, the oxy-
gen in an empty casket would support
combustion eight hours, but that
when a corpse was inclosed, the can
die would use up all the oxygen in
five hours, and that the body in the
casket thus exhausted, showed no
signs of decomposition after the lapse
of several weeks.

Compensation OfTeachers.

By many, teaching is looked upon
as a pastlme, or a stepping-stone
(which indeed it must necessarily be
In many cases, under present arrange
ments} to something higher and more
profitable. Some even look upon it
as kind of refining process, a nee
essary diciplining of the mind, pre-
pairing them fOrsome more useful oc-
cupation- Consequently, Teachers
should not expect such highC y wages.
Besides, the winter is rather an idle
time, and it would be that much saw
ed.
Now, whoever proposed to "cut
down the salaries Of our Legislators
and Congressman because their work
is done during the side" months of
winter? or of county officer, because
he IS furnished with an Office and can
WORK, wet and dry
We believe in economy; but we
ask in all eandor, is it good policy to
commence on the persons to whom
you commit the training of your sons
and daughters? You want them thor
oughly prepared for their work. This
requires time and labor ON theirpart,
and they should at least receive as
much compensation IS a good me-
chanic.
We make some extracts from an
article on this subject from the Oct.
No. Of ''The Public School Advocate"
':But we are told that the teacher
is not compelled to labor the number
Of hours per day that are required of
other laborers. We admit that the
number ofhours specified for actual la
Dor to constitute days service in the
school room, is less than is usually
required in most other departments
of service. But we are inclined to
think but few persons devote more
hours OF actual service to the interest
of their employers than the faithful
school teacher.
'It is contended that teachers
should not be paid for the time they
are not in actual service; we ask, why
not pay them for the time they do
serve a salary sufficient to support
them the balance of the year? In ev-
cry other kind of service, where en-
ployment can be secured only part
of the year, business men consider it
the part of wisdom to pay Duch
larger salary for the time in which
the laborer is employed than he
would for the same time, if he gave
him constant employment But the
school teachers are not only expected
to labor for less compensation than
an ordinary laborer who has constant
employment, but to devote much Of
the time during vacations to attend
ing institutes and training schools,
which not only prevents their seeking
other employment, but actually com
pels them to expend this small
amount of money they have accumu-
lated for the benefit of their employ
ers.
"We think we hazard nothing in
saying there is no class of persons in
the community from whom SO much
is required, upon whom rests so great
o responsibility, who aremore deserv-
ing of the confidence and respect of
the public, and who receive a remun-
Grafton SO small in proportion to the
services rendered, as the teachers In
our public schools.

Marriages are proverbially made in heav-
en-. 1t may, therefore, be imagined with
what surprise wedding party lately assem-
bled at a Pairsian restaurant received a v:si-
tor from another place. The room being
warm, the window was opened, and the bride
approached it to breathe the air. At that
moment red and horned demon foated
IN and came toward her. still suspended in
mid-air. She uttered scream and tainted
Just as the demons feet grazed her facs.
The unbidden guest then began to execute a
series of pirouettes above the insensible
bride. He rose, he fell, he performed SOM
ersaults, his movements appearing to be
greatly assisted by the draughts produced by
the violent opening and shutting of the
doors consequent upon the hasty fight of all
the wedding guests, including the bride
groom. When the master of the restaurant
appeared, the cause of all this uproar was
sailing out of the window again. He prov

which had adorned the front of some toy
shop. and, having been detached from it by
the wind, was waited into the room where
the wedding party was assembled.-[L Lon.

A young lady has written a song in
which she asks: '.How can l tell him
1 love him no more?" There are sew
eral ways in which the information
may be impaired. For instance, il
the young lady lives in Philadelphia,
and the young man whom she doesn't
love any more resides in New York,
she might telegraph him, charges to
be collected; or, if she is not in a
dreadful hurry for him to hear the
words, she might leave it until she
visits New York or she could write
or she might employ her big brother
to go and tell him; OF, if both live in the
same city, she might call around after
tea, and bribe his sister to tell him
or-but there are so many ways, that
doubtless some of them have occurred
to her ere this.

A Misguided Book Agent.

A BOOK agent entered the open door of
a snug Pittsfeld. Mass, cottage one day
last week, and nodding to trim, bright
locking little woman who sat sewing by
the window, commenced volubly to des-
cant on the merits ofa great work which
he was for the first time giving mankind an
opportunity to purchase. 1t was univer-
sal biography, cook book, dictionary,
family physician, shorthand instructor,
and contained, besides, detailed history
of every important event that has trans
pired In the world from the apple incident
and Adams fall to Credit Mobilier and
the fall of Congress. The work con-
tanned 5000 chapters, all with running IL
ties. The agent, after talking on the
general excellences of the volume
about five minutes, commenced on the
headings of those chapters and as the
woman did not say word to interrupt
quest, and he ratified away so that she
took him nearly halfan hour, and as he
breathlessly went on the sweat started
on his forehead, and he made convulsive
grasps at his collar, and when he finished
he had hardly strength enough left to
put on bewitching smile and hand her
his ready pen wherewlth to subscribe her
name in the order book. She took the
pen, but instead of putting her autograph
on his list she lifted scrap of paper from
her work-box and wrote In plain letters:
''IME DEFE AND DUM." He said not
word, but the mutt rable things that he
looked, as he turned to the door, would
fill a ibrary.-Erchange.
