SALINE.-A gentleman who boards
at the Eureka Restaurant, and the
tenor of whose way is to stay up all
night, and then come to the restaur-
ant i'll the morning, just VIII IL all
hands are the busiest in preparing tor
breakfast, and ask for his coffee,
dropped in yesterday morning at the
usual hour. Charley Cobb is oblig-
ing, and all that, but experience as a
caterer has taught him that regime
about a public house is indispensable
with its success. So, when the irreg-
ular customer came around yesterday
morning, he concluded he would sa-
tlate his appetite for early coffee. The
boarder went into the pantry, to get
something to accompany the delicious
beverage, and the proprietor employ
ed the time of his absence in doctor
ing his cup with chloride of sodium.
The result was an expression from the
customer that such coffee was not tit
for his use, an explanation of the
joke, mutual hilarity, and an insinua-
ton about the inopportune hour.

If | were to give you Z motto to eo

stand you for warning and counsel in
any strait in which you might find
Zoarself-I would give it in this word,
Don't waste your time and your
strength, and your opportunities. by
always moaning to do something-do
r. Only weakness comes of indecision.
Why, some people have accustomed
themselves to this way of dawdlino
from one thing to another. that K
really seems impossible for them TO
squarely make up their minds to .any-
thing. They quite knew what thew
meant TO do next; their only pleasure
seems to consist in putting off a. long,
as possible. and then dragging slowly
through them, rather than doing any-
thing else.

study, whatever it is, take hold nj
once and finish it up squarely and
cleanly, and then to the next thing
without letting any moments drop ont
between. 1t is wonderful to see how
many hours these prompt people con-
trive to make of day; it il as if they,
picked up the moments that the david
lers lost. And ifyou ever find your
self where You have so many things
pressing that you hardly know how

hold OF the first one that comes to
hand, and you will find the rest ali fiji
into one file and follow after, like a
company OF well-drillcd soldiers; and
though work may be hard to meet
when it charges in a squad, it is easily
vanquished when brought into line.

Recently there was brought into
9 San Francisco court one Annie
Welch. muscular female, charged
with attempting to murder her hus-
band. His head was broken, he
was bruised up generally, and had
evidently been rolled in the gutter
in a very energetic manner. When
the defendant was called on for ex-
PLANTATION, she described the provo
cation by which the wretched man
had brought the trouble upon him
self. He was given to the filthy
habit of tobacco chewing. and with
the usual recklessness of persons
so depraved, he permitted the vile
juice to soil his shirt bosom. He,
had been adorned with clean linen
that very morning, and duly warn
ed against such carelessness. In
FIVE minutes after Mrs Welch oh. !.
served the filthy decoction staining
the immaculate shirt 'front.' This
was too much. She seized q roll.
ing pin, and vigorously reminded
him Of the duty Be owed to
society and public decency. The
court inflicted . small fine consid
eriug tho aggravation IN unbeara-
ble one.

The Providence railroad has set
an example which all others should
follow. It has placasded conspicu-
o,lsly in its passenger cars this rule:
"Passengers using tobacco, or

where they can indulge themselves
without being nuisance to the
ladies' and other decent inmates of
the car" ga8. E7'E -

tons, unpolluted by the disgusting
practices of unthinking or uncarine
fellow passengers.
