THE WORTH OF WOMAN.

The higher and more perfect the train
ing a woman has received in all woman
ly essentials, the better wife and mother
she is prepared to become. She will
not want for suitors who is worthy of
them. Men are not all blinded by glare
and glitter, by long ringlets of false
hair, by mammoth panniers, artificial
insteps, unnatural compilations, and that
long languish of the eyelashes due to de-
ceptive arts-not even when the soft
rustic of silk is thrown all over this,
and is softened by draperies of real laoe,
and embellished with the CLEAN of costly
jewels. Most of them carry, deep in
their hearts, a love of home and real
womanhood. Now it is the business Of
all true women to call out this feeling
in men; their doing so is necessary fol
the life of society, for the prosperity Of
the world. "Men are what women make
them" it has been said. Well, before
women can call forth any good In men
they must themselves be good and pur,
and true to every law of health, menta
and physical.

SHEEP.KILLING DOGS.

Il would like to keep sheep on my
hilly farm" writes correspondent, "but
am afraid of the dogs. Is there any
remedy?" There are three remedies.
If there is tax on dogs in your
State see that it is enforced in your
neighborhood.
2. If there is no dog law in your
State vote for no man who will not
pledge himself to do all he can to have
one enacted
8. Let all the sheep men in the neigh
borhood form themselves into an asso-
citation. Let nothing be done to crafty
personal spite; but if a suspicious dog
is found providing about the farm shoot
him. Then, if the owner can prove
damages, let the association pay him,
and repeat the process.
City and village dogs must be taught
to stay at home. They are often abused
and half-starved, and it would be mer-
cy to give them one good meal of mutton
with a liberal allowance of strychnine
in it. The neighbors might be told that
this feast was provided solely for visitors,
50 that they can keep their dogs at home:
A good plan to adopt is, when sheep
dies, dress it and wash it with water
containing few table spoonfuls of crude
carbonic acid. It will preserve the
meat for months. Cut 1t up into joints
and hang it up. and you will always
have piece of mutton on hand for 9
hungry dog that may visit you from the
city or village or swamp. If this worl
is done Systematically and constantly
it will have wholesome effect.
1t is rarely that a well-bred and we'll
fed dog attacks sheep, and it is not oftel
that such dogs wander far from home a
night. If there are any good dogs il
the neighborhood, inform the owners O
the fact that you have set trap for tn
half-starved providers from the city, an
I that they had better fasten theirs up a
Q night In this way no harm is likel
to be done.An,sr5cass Agrstmssusss.

DoN'T BE CHEAp.-No, young woman,
don't make yourself cheap. There is
nothing that will so quickly and so snre-
ly disgust any worthy young man, as
the slightest thing in your conduct that
borders upon making yourself common
to all places, and all eyes, and cheap in
the market for any applicant. No young
man, not even the worst, except for
base purpose, wants anything to do with
a cheap young lady. For wife, none
but a. fool or rascal will approach
such woman. Cheap jewels. nobody
will ever touch. if he can get anything
better. Cheap girls are nothing but the
refuse; and the young men that want a
jewel know it, and they will look in
every other direction, for life long
friend and companion, before they will
give glance at the pinchbeck stuff,
that tinkles at every turn for fascinating
the eye of any that will look. You think
1t a slight thing to talk loudly and
coarsely, be boisterous and hoidenisb
IN all public places; to make yourself
SO bold, and forward, and common place
everywhere, that people wonder If vol
ever had a mother, or home, or any
thing to do? So be it. You will prob
ably be taken for what you are worth
and one of these years. if you do no
make worse than shipwreck of yourself
you will begin to wonder where th
charms are that once you thought your
self possessed Of, and what evil spiri
could have SO befooled you. Go on, bu
remember, cheap girls attract nobod
but fools and rascals.

RELIGIOUS VALUE OF FLOWERS Flow
ers are the gift of a benefcent Creator.
With them He has given to us all a love
Of the beautiful. Religion rather
strengthens than weakens this inherent
affection. Happy for US that our pleas
ures and interests are always blended.
Even without piety those who cultivate
flowers feel their refining influence on
the sensibilities, and their stimulus to
the virtues Of the heart; while the good
and the devout find their CONCENTRATIONS
the more inspiring by their presence
The sick room is made cheerful, and the
tedious hours of the sufferers beguiled BY
their presence.

DEATH OF THE FIRsT-BORN.


This beautiful extract, from DR.. Hol-
lands new book, Arthur Bonnicastle,
will be read with deep and tender inter-
est by many whose experience it truth
fully pOrtrays;
IL stand in darkened room before
little casket that holds the silent form
of my first born. My arm is around the
wife and mother who weeps over the
lost treasure, and cannot, till tears have
their way, be comforted. l had not
thought that my child could die-that
my child could die. knew that other
children had died, but felt safe. We
lay the little fellow close by his grand
father at last we strew his grave with
flowers, and then return to our saddened
home with hearts united in sorrow as
they had never been united in joy, and
with sympathies forever opened toward
all who are called to kindred grief. l
wonder where he is to-day, in what ma
ture angelhood he stands, how he will
look when l meet him, how he will make
himself known to me, who has been his
teacher He was like me: will his
grandfather know him? l never can
cease thinking of him as cared for and
led by the same hand to which my own
youthful fingers chung, and as hearing
from the fond lips of my own father the
story of his fathers eventful life. fee

my children-how much more / have

The WORLDS ENMITY.-From nv
very childhood, when | was first sensible
of the Governments of mems souls, I |
was possessed with some admiration, to |
find that everywhere the religious, god
ly sort of people, who did but exercise
serious care Of their own and other
mems salvation, were made the wonder
and obloquy of the world, especially of
the most vicious and fagitious men; SO
that they that professed the same articles
of faith, the same. commandments of
God to be their law, and the same petit
tons of the Lords prayer to be their
desire and so professed the same religion
and everywhere revile those that endeav-
CURED to live in good earnest in what
they said. | thought this was impudent
hypocrisy in the ungodly, worldly sort
of men-to take those for the most in
tolerable persons In the land who are
but serious in their own religion, and do
but endeavour to perform what all their
enemies also vow and promise. If reH-
gion be bad, and our faith be not true,
why do these men profess it? If. it be
true and good, why do they hate and
revile them that would live in the serious
practice of it, if they will not practice
it themselves? But we must not expect
reason when sin and sensuallty have
made men unreasonable.
But must profess that, since | OBJ
served the course of world and the con-
cord of the word and providence of God,
took it for a notable proof of mans
fall, and of the supernatural original of
true sanctifcation, to find such an uni
versal enmity between the holy and the
serpentine seed, and to find Cain and
Abels case so ordinary exempli6ed, and
he that is born after the flesh prosecuting
him that is born after the Spirit. And
methinks to this day it is a great and
visible help for the confirmation of our
Christian faith.-Barter.
A CHURCHMAN'S VIEW OF THE PANIC.
Rev. t. De Witt Talmage took a walk
, in Wall street, and was much amazed
at the panic. How did it strike his
mind |? In the following words, which
are his own: 1--WE bethought ourselves
why there was not panic in another
: direction. So many failures every day
; for eternity, so many heavenly treasures
lost, the government bonds of HEAVIER
thrown away on the street. We wonder
? that men do not get excited about theil
> eternal possessions, and that they d.
not make a rum on the bank of heaven
