KIND WoRDs.-"A softanswer turneth
away wrath" Kind words will do more
to soften and subdue an obstinate and
rebellious spirit than the most severe and
painful corporeal punishment. If both
parents and teachers of children would
remember this, and act upon the princi-
pie in the management and control OF
those for whose disposition and character
they are in a large measure responsible,
there would be fewer juvenile misde-
meanors. and occasions for punishment
or correction. Nothing more completely
tends to break down the spirit, or lower
the self respect of children, than harsh
words or un easonable chastisement while
at the same time, such i'll treatment hal d.
ems them against every good influence,
and renders them the more obstinate and
unmanageable. Children are not insen-
sible to reason or blind to fair discrimi-
nation between what is right and what is
wrong. Their young minds are more
susceptible to kind words and mild intu-
ences than they are in maturer years.
Children should therefore be governed
rather by the power of love and kindness
than by fear of bodily pain and mental
humiliation.

DEsTRUcrIvENRss OF TIoERs.-T

DEsTRUcTIvENRss OF TIGERs.-The
destruction Of human life in India by
wild animals has become so appalling
that ut last the English Parliament is
seriously debating different plans to rem
edy the evil. The statements made by
Lord Ettrick, who has spent much Of his
time in India, almost transcend belief,
and read like romances of the jungle and
wilderness. In Lower Bengal alone, no
less than l3,400 persons have been killed
by wild beasts in the six years immedi-
ately preceding 1870, and for the PENN
sula it is estimated that 10000 persons
are killed annually. Capt. Rogers, of
the Bengal service, recently read paper
before the English Social Science Asso-
citation, in which he stated that in 1869.
one tigress actually stopped the traffic on
public road for many weeks, and was
known to have killed l27 people and in
Naydunka, tiger, in 1867, 1868 and
1869, killed, respectively, twentyseven.
thiIty-four, and ior.y-seven people. II
would attack party and kill three, four
or five at time. Once it killed father.
mother, and three children, and the week
before it was shot it killed seven persons.
1t is stated that there are shikarries or
hunters, whose business it is to kill these
animals and receive rewards for doing SO,
but they have no desire to kill them all
of, anhthus cut of their source Of living.
They, therefore, only kill enough of them
to show that they are not idle and to
make living. The English Govern
ment now proposes to enroll u body Of
men for this purpose, and to make a sys-
tematic slaughter of the wolves, tigers.
panthers, leopards and hyenas, until they
are exterminated.

Attitudes at which Men can Live.

There has been great deal Of discus
sion rs to the altitude at which human
beings can exist, and Mr.. Gaisher can
tell as much about it rs anybody. In
July, 1872, he and Mr.. Coxwell ascend
ed to the enormous height of $1,000 feet
Previous to the start Mr.. Glaisher's pulse
stood at seventy-six beats a minute and
Mr.. Coxwell's at seventy-iour. At H.
600, the pulse of the former was az eigh-
ty-four (; that of the latter at 100. At
$4,000 feet Glaisher's hands and lips
were quite blue, but not his face. At
2l 900 feet he heard his heart beating,
and his breathing became oppressed at
$4,000 he became senseless notwith-
standing which the aeronaut, in the in
terest Of science, went up another 5000
feet, till he could no longer use his hands
and had to pull the strings OF the valve
with his teeth. Aeronauts who have to
make no exertions have, of course, a
great advantage over mem bers of the AL

are frequently compelled to descend into
the valley of the Rhone for-anything

ANEcDoTE OF THEODORE HooK.-On
the evening Of his arrival at the university
he joined party OF school-telows in II
carouse at one of the taverns. Sundry
bowls Of bishops" and cgg-aip having
been discussed, songs amatory and bac-
chanaian having been sung with full
choruses, and altogether the jocularity
having begun to pass the limit of becom-
ing mirth, the proctor made his appear
ance, and advancing TO the table at
which the "freshman"-fresh in every
sense of the word-was presiding, put the
question, Pray, sir, are you q member
OF this university ?" "No, SIR" repied
Hook, rising and bowing respectfully.
Pray sir are you ?" A little discon-
certed, the proctor held out his ample
sleeve and said, "You see this, sir ?''
Hook, having examined the fabric with
great carnestness for few seconds, Eyes,
| PERCEIVE Manchester velvet-and may
take the liberty, sir, of inquiring how
much you paid per yard for the article ?''
The quiet imperturbabiity of manner
with which this was uttered was more
than the reverend gentleman could stand,
and muttering something about supposing
it was mistake, he effected retreat
amid shouts Of laughter from Hooks
companions.

FAULT FINDERs.-The world is full OF
chronic tault-fnders. Nothing can please
them. They take delight in grum bling
and growing over everything they meet.
II anything is good they complain be-
cause it is no better. Humanity has no
bright side to these grumblers. 1t looks
black, dreary and hopeless to them, from
| whatever point OF view they examine it.
They overlook the virtues of an individu-
al, and hold up single fault to Judge his
character from. They denounce party
as corrupt because Il few rascals disgrace
themselves by unworthy acts. The
church is false because few hypocrites
find shelter in it. The world is on the
high road to destruction, and everything
indicates the dtpravity OF man. We do
not envy the happiness of these growlers.
Their unhappy frame Of mind is about
the only pleasure they enjoy. 1t may
sound pai adoxical, but the social misery
they create is to them source Of enjoy
ment. A single hopeful heart is worth a
regiment of these fault finders. Human
ity has its bright side-beautiful and at
tractive to those who seek it. The world
is alive with public and private virtue,
and we should be ready at all times to
foster and encourage this element OF So
cial comfort and public happiness.

PLAYING FOR A WIFE.-Several years
ago, was travelling up the river and
came to beautiful plantation, the owner
of which, was told, won his wife by
playing the game called "seven-up."
The story was as follows:
An old bonitace or tapster, who kept a
small grocery and saloon, had a habit OF
eternally playing cards, and betting on
the game until he was hard to beat.
Scarcely any man ever came into his es-
tablishment but the old fellow challenged
him for game. One day rich young
farmer came in to see the old mans
daughter Kate, and while with her the
old man came up and said:
Hiram, I'll play you game of "sev-
en-up"-your farm against Kate. If you
win, you shall have Kate for wife; but
If win, I'll take your farm"
The young may declined and said he
did not like to play, etc. The old man
replied:
"A faint heart never won fair lady,
and il Kate is not worth winning you
can't have her."
The old man succeeded in getting Hi
ram to play for Kate-she sitting by and
watching the game very anxiously; the
father had five, the young man only three
and the old man was dealing. After
turning up, Kate looked at the old mans
hand, and then went and looked at the
young mans hand, and seeing Hiram
had high, low and jack, whispered in his
ear to beg" He did so--ths old man
gave one and the result was Hiram won
the girl, and they were the happiest,
healthiest, jolliest pair in the country.
The old man showered down the winnings
upon his daughter. The young man was
industrious, sober and attentive to his
farm and house. Prosperity, peace and
plenty were his earnings. 1t is pleasant
to go there and see them and hear them
joke about the old man and his game Of
"seven-up,"

You should have seen his face when
he heard me repeating his own words.
Look here, JESSIE" he said at length,
you've got the best of me, though it was
hard way Of giving me my lesson"
Not more severe than the case re-
quired, Tom. only made you put your
self in my place."
"Well, Jessie, if it filed you with such
intense disgust to see me kiss Sarah Ann
as it did me to see you kiss that con-
founded Teddy, l don't wonder you were
angry"
Well, we talked the matter over at
length, and agreed to dismiss both Teddy
and Sarah Ann, giving them a months
wages instead Of warning.
l heard Sarah Ann mutter to Teddy,
"shure and behave the missus SUSPECTS
the master is swate on me-"

said Teddy; it's himself as is sendin' us
away"
Well, at length they were off, and
had new girl; but in all this time Tom
had not kissed me, and treated me almost
with aversion ms though my sins were too
great for forgiveness.
While we were at dinner brother John
arrived. was little curious to see if
Tom would recognize him. He looked
at him with puzzled expression, but
said nothing; but presently he became
immoderately gay, and indeed, almost
brilliant. Later, when we were alone,
he took me in his arms and kissed me and
whispered
"Well, Jessie, see you have got Ted
dy back after all. Oh, if you knew the
relief it gave me to sec you had not de-
graded yourself"
"Oh, you foolish Tom! do you think l
would ever have descended to that, even
to give you much needed lessonY But
see how inconsistent you men are; you
have no forgiveness for the least false
step woman makes, even when she is
only following your example to the letter."

The hunters, he says, make it rule new
