Kiss Your Mother Good
" Night.

A little boy went up to his
room one night, said his prayer
very promptly, and went to bed
But he could not sleep.
He tossed from side to side
counted a hundred forward anC
backward, ,recited the multiplied.
tiontable, hymns. and long pO-
ems, but try as he might, he could
not go to sleep. He had neg
lected a duty; and it weighed
so heavily upon his conscience
that it was impossible for him
to rest, At last he got up, crop
ed his way down stairs to his
mothers room, and timidly
knocked at the door.
"Who's there?" cried his
father, in rather angry tones.
at is I, pa"
"Well, who are you?"
He had several cildren, and
upon first awaking could not
distinguish the voice.
at is Willie, pa. Please let
me come in"
"What do you want, Willie;
Are you sick?"
"No, sir, | am not sick; but
| must see mother"
At this the mother got up in
the darkness, and unfastcned
the door. When the little boy
found her he threw his arms
around her neck, and kissed
her warmly. There were tears
in his eyes and tears in hisvoice,
when he cried: $50
90, mother, / went to bed
without kissing you. I forgot
it, mother, indeed [ did; and ]
could not sleep when [ thought
of it." $3.50
You may be sure his mother
was by that time in tears her
self. They were tears of graft
tude to God for having given
her such an afectionate child.
She drew him to her, and kissed
him again and again, and, with
a blessing upon him, dispatched
him again to bed. The burden
off his conscience, he soon fell
asleep, and never again, until
he left home, a man, to battle
with the great wicked world, did
he forget to kiss his mother
good night. s-a"s

Sticking to the Contract.

A sea captain, in the vicinity
of Boston, was about to start
on a long voyage, and entered
into contract with a builder
to erect him commodiou5
house during his absence, Ey-
erything was to be done accOr-
ding to the contract-no more,
no less-which the captain
caused to be drawn up with
great care. A large sum was
to be forfeited by the builder if
he should fail to observea any Of
the stipulations where the con-
tract made no promotions where
the contract made no provision
forthem. The captain sailed, and
returned. His house stood in
ample and imposing proper
tions before his sight, and he
confessed himself delighted,
with the exterior. But when
he entered and attempted to as
cend to the second floor of the
building, he found no stairs, and
no means of ascent were to be
had till ladders were sent for.
The captain felt that he was tri-
fed with, and a bit of nautical
gale seemed brewing. But this
soon quieted by opening of the
written contract, and there was
found not the least provision for
stairs in any part of the house.
"Give me your hand, sir" said
the noble captain; 'all right!
You've stuck to the contract,
and / like it."
The stairs were subsequently
at a great expense, put in, and
the captain often remarked that
one of the pleasantest things a
bout his elegant residence was
theremembrance of one man who
could stick to the very terms of
a contract!

Northwest.er,l wolves.

The most fecocious is the
NorthWeste'fn wolf, an animal
OF wonder full strength and sa-
-gacIty, found in n orth Oregon
ana the British Possessions.
As "a general rule the bear ard
! me buffalo will not attack man
% ut in the Spring the swolfefiies
at every living thing he sees.
Horses are his usual prey, and
them be pursues with almost
human cunning. oara
When a band of wolves dis
C over a horse they encamp at
some little distance,all the troop
squatting on their hams except
two old fellows, who sally forth
toward the horse. He is fright
ened at first by his visitors; but
they gambol so pleasantly in
the field, and look SO innocent
and friendly, that by degrees
his terror subsidies and he con-
tinues to Craze. Then the
wolves slowly separate, one go
ing to the front of the horse,
the other to his rear, and both
fIisking about as amiably and
apparently as unconcerned as
before. Slowly and cautious
ly they approach the doomed
steed with equal steps; when
they are within springing dis
tance-they can cover over
twenty feet at a bound-both
dash at him together, one at his
head and the other at his ham,
strings. Horses are proverbial-
ly helpless under such circum-
stances; this is one Of them.
The most the poor creature can
do is to turn round and round,
uttering cries Of pain. In a
few seconds the wolf who at
tackled him from behind-this
being the main attack-has cut
the sinews of his legs, and he
falls helpless to the ground.
Then the whole pack come rush
ing down, howling and each ca
ger to tear a morsel from the
living carcass. There is little
left for the yultures. z

Patent Outsides. T"

From the Danville (Ky.) Advocate.
! We regret to see SO many of
the Kentucky publishers adopt
ing the cooperative plan" for
printing their papers, 4. e., hav-
ing their outside pages first
and fourth) printed in Chicago,
Milwaukee, St. Louis, Nash
vile, or some other point, and
sent to them to print the inside
Second and third pages at
home. We see it stated that
there are now about 1,500 pa
pers printed on this plan in the
United States, and the list is be-
ing daily augmented. Precise
Ily the same matter viii be used
in one of these cooperative
establishments to print several
hundred newspapers, with only
the change of the name of the
paper, date, and place of issue.
The publisher may find it more
economical to thus give up the
control of one-halfOf his paperto
outside parties, but we opine if
he has any pride in his profes-
sion at all, it must be exceeding
ly humiliating. He has no.
more control over those outside
pages of his own paper than he
would have over the outside pa
ges of the Courier-Journal,
Commercial or any other paper
not his own. He has not the
remotest idea what will be pl'in-
ted on those pages until he re-
ceives them, and when they
come to hand he is compelled
to use them, or miss his issue
entirely. We regret, we repeat,
to see our friends of the Ken
lucky press adopting the plan.
It originated in, and for a long
time was confined to, those
States that had legal advertis-
ing laws, for the purpose of en-
impecunious publishers
to exc out an existence. 1t Oc-
ours to us that it would be far
better for publishers to print |
small papers at home, rather than !
adopt this servile mode of issu-
ing large ones. They deceive |
their patrons, they humiiiate !
themselves, and they lower the !
standard of independent journ- |
alism when they adopt it.

Do People Read ,Adver-
tiSementS. , 's.t

There is now and then persor
SO stupid as to believe that adver
tisements in the newspapers are
not generally read, and that mon
ey expended in advertising il
practically wasted. Even such
will concede that if a hundred
men of polite address, Of fluent
speech and wit, were to call upon a
hundred people and get the ears
of each long enough 10 say John
Smith, or Jones, or Thompson, at
such i place, has such and such
prices, or would sell a farm or
house and lot, or had lost horse
or pocket book, or would loan
money, etc. say such men
will concede that the services of
this hundred men would be Of
great value to Smith or Jones, and
in some manner advantageous to
whom this statement is made.
This one hundred men could not
be hmploped to go from door to
door, and make this statement to
ten thousand people, at less than
a cost of several hundred dollars
each trip. All this is done by the
newspaper ct the cost of efew
dimes, or a few dollars at most, and
are made week after week and
day after day. The messenger
who travels addresses the party
to ear, and takes the party ad-
dressed when be may have his
thoughts absorbed in business or
other matters; but the newspa,
per reaches the party sought
thrugh the eye, when the reader
has his thoughts solely fixed upon
the paper before him.
But those who affect to believe
there is little in use in advertising
urge as an objection that the ad-
yertiSements are not read. They
can easly be convinced of their
error in this respect by making
inquiry. Let them insert an ad-
vertisement Offering to purchase
some article that is tolerable plen-
ty in market, ard they will be
flooded with offers to sell before
the ink of the advertisement is
dry. An enterprising weekly that
has a circulation of thousand
copies, is in a position to do the
village merchant great good, and
for which as a rule, the publisher
does not get one fourth of what
he justly deserves. Ia its sphere,
the weekly is of quite as much
service to the advertiser as is the
daily, and 7often enjoys the privi-
lege Of being the exclusive family
visitor, a privilege the daily sell
dom has, alg oe il
