Parents Paradise.

We are much impressed lately by
the orderly behavior of large family
of children, particularly at the table.
We spoke OF Ii to our host; and he
pointed to q paper pinned on the wall,
on which were written some excellent
rules. He said he gave each child
who Obeyed the rules, q reward at the
end of every month. We begged a
copy for the benefit Of our readers.
TheysWere called "Rules and Regula-
tiOns for parents, Paradise:"
l. Shut every door after you, with
out slamming 1t.
2. Never should jump, Urrun in the
house.
8. Never call to persons up stairs, or
In the next room, if you wish to speak
to them. go quietly where they are.
4. Always speak kindly and polite
ly to the servants if you would have
them do the same to you
3. When told to do, or not to do a
thing, by either parent, never ask IOhy
you should or should not do il.
0. Tell of your own fanIts, not of
those of your brothers and sisters.
Z. Carefully clean the mud or snow
off your bools before entering the
house.
8. Be prompt at every meal hour.
8. Never sit down at the table or in
the parlor with dirty hands or tum-
bled hair.
10. Never interrupt any eonv, rsa-
tiOn, but wait patiently your turn to
speak.
IL. Never reserve your good man
ners for company, but be equally Pc
lite at home and abroad.
L. Let your first, last and best con-
fidant be your mother. = OiiUer Optics

A Gre,n Ceuntryman.

Years ago, into q Wholesale grocery
store in Boston walked tall, museu-
lar looking, raw-boned man, evident
ly q fresh conner from some back town
in Maine or New Hampshire. Ac-
costing the first person he met, who
happened to be the merchant himself,
he asked:
"You don't want to hire q man in
your store, do you ?"
"Well," said the merchant, "I cont
know /; what can you do ?"
"DoW said the man, "I rather guess
l can turn my hand to almost any
thing. What do you want done.n
"Well, II I was to hire 3 man, 1t
would be one that could lift well-a
strong, wiry fellow: one for instance,
that could shoulder g sack of coffse
like that yonder, and carry it across
the store and never lay it down."
''There, now, captain" said our
countryman, "that's just me. What
will you give q man that can suit
you ?n
''pll tell you" said the merchant, "If
you will shoulder that sack of coffee,
and carry it across the store twice and
never lay it down, 1 will hire you for
3 year at Sl0O per MONTH"
"DOne," said the stranger; and by
this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around and were waiting TO
join in the laugh against the man,
who, walking to the sack, threw 1t
across his shoulder with perfect ease,
as 1t was not extremely heavy. and
walking with it twice across the store,
went quietly to q large hook which
was fastened TO the wall, and hanging
the sack upon 1t, turned to the meT-
chant ana said:
''There, now; it may hang there
till DOomsday; shan't never lay it
down. What shall go about, mis-
ter? Just give me plenty to do and
500 a month, and it's all right"
The clerks broke into u laugh, but it
was out of the other side Of their
mouths; and the merchant discOmfit-
ed, yet satisfied, kept to his agree
ment, and to-day the green country
man is the senior partner in the firm
and worth q half million dollars.

An EurerprIsIng country Editor.

He was once out on q jaunt in the
township OF White Oak, IngrRham
county, sticking To every farmer until
lie got his name and money, and it so
happened that he came to n house
where death had called q few hours
before. The farmers wife was laid
out, and the husband and her
children were grieving over their loss,
when the editor kDocked at the door.
"What's up?" inquired the editor,
as he saw the farmers solemn eOunte-
nance before him.
"My wife is dead" replied the far.
mer. as that so?" mused the editor,
little disappointed. ''Did she die
easy?"
"Dropptd d of like lamb"
"Did she say aDything?"
"Not = wOrd-just went right tC

81 didn't know" continued the
editor, n sad look on his face, ''but
what she might have requested you
to subscribe for the Cascade, which
you know ~ the best paper i'm tie

your name right in, and under the
circumstances, won't charge cent

The farmer hung off for while,
but before the editor went away he
had two additional dollars in his
pocket, and had written out an Obitu-
ary notice for publication in the next
issue, which the bereaved husband
pronounced "a mighty smart piece. "

By the Secretary Of States report
we learn the following statistics rela-
tive to divorces in Ohio:
Divorce is another feature of the So
cial system that is not encouraging.
The total number of marriages in 1873
was 26, $50. Equal to ten per cent. Oi
this number tried to get divorced dur
ing the year. On the 1st of July, 1872,
there were 932 cases pending. Within
the year ending July l, 1873, 1,649
more suits wer0 brought, and during
the year 1,l24 divorces were actually
granted. Divorce has been made
pretty easy in Ohio. Ofthe total num-
Der granted, 500 were for absence and
neglect, and 265 for adultery.
or the total number Of divorces
granted, 796 were on application of
the wife, ami 22S on application Of the
husband. Inc ratio of total number
of divorces L. marriage In 1873 is to
o. The ratio of divorces for each
specific cause to total number Of mar
riages is as follows: Adultery Of hus-
band, l to 30; do. of wife, to 100;
absence and neglect Of husband, to
"A; do. OF wife, to III; cruelty of bus
band, l to I66; do. of wife, to 1874;
drunkenness of husband, to 210; do.
of wife, to 8, ,307; fraud Of husband, /
to 4, 4l0; do. of wife, l to 4,4l0. mis-
eellaneOus causes by husband, l to l02;;
and do. by wife, to 4 ,4lO.

Excuse inr Smoking

Avoiding . MiddIeman.

A lodge Of our grange friends 10
Clayton county had need of a barrel
of good whisky for domestic end
medicinal purposes, and were right
fully determined to avoid the mon
opOiy prices of middlemen in purchas-
ing. SO q committee was delegated
to come to Dubuque and purchase it
of one Of our wholesale houses, which
they did Ou reasonable terms, and
took it home on the cars. On the dPy
of its arrival the members OF the
grange repaired with their stone jugs
to the house of the head Granger,
where the barrel was stored, and the
liquor was distributed among them,
each paying for his share at thswhole-
sale rate st which 1t was purchased.
This was well enough as far as il
went, but the next day Collector OF
Internal Revenue, who had been
seenting the flavor Of the good spirits
from afar, pOuneed upon the head
Granger for retailing whisky without
q license, and threatened to place him
under arrest unless he complied with
the requirements OF the Internal Rev.
enue law in this regard, and he was
compelled to pay S25 or $50 TO get rid
of the gentleman and his unpleasant
exposition of what Uncle Sam pro-
vides.-DhbuqlIe Herald.

New York Moek Auction Dodge

Is there any limit to human Gre
dulity? The mock auctions in this
CITY have been SO effectually exposed
that the rogues were compelled to re-
sort to new lodges. The dodge Was
forthcoming as soon as it was needed.
Here Is the way they work it:
Scene-A small room on Nassau or
Ann street. Auetioneer with case OF
ievelry-crowd of persons, consisting
| Of honest innocents and confederates.
Enter old man, in a dirty suit OF
clothes, with woeful face, that looks
as though no food had entered 1t for a
| week.
"What do you want?" queries the
auctioneer OF old poverty.
Slowly the wretcked old man pulls
from his pocket q watch and says he
wants it sold.
"How did you get this wsteh?" de-
msnds the auctioneer.
81 am from Wisconsin," answers
the old man humbly. 81 am here in
New York prosecuting q suit for the
recovery Of some property, and am
out Of funds and want to raise enough
to get home. 1 have seen better days"
Auctioneer-"Are you aware of the
fact that this is frst-class, double
cased, English-lever, ehronometer-
balance, jeweled in top and bottom,
gold watch, worth at least S15O?"
Old Mani paid SI75 for it in Mon
treal, four years ago, when / could af-
ford such = watch"
Auetioneer-'Dont let me sell your
watch, old man. Don't do it. Take 1t
to some pawnbroker and pawn it; any
of them will advance 500 upon 1t, and
you can send for it when you get home.
1t will be sacrificed 'here-it will in
deed"
Old Man-tIt don't matter. ALI l
want is to get home and-dle. 1t
doesn't matter to me whether get
what it is worth or not"
"Very good; / will sell 1t; but 1t Is .
shame. How much do I hear for this
watch ?"
A capper starts it at S25, and up it
goes to $50, $40, $50, or $50, when it Is
struck of. The money is paid to the
auctioneer, who gives 1t, less bis COM
mission, 10 per cent, to the old man,
who thanks him tearfully, and goes
slowly and sadly out. Then the Aue-
tioneer closes the sale for the day,
that he NAV get rid OF the people, 50
as to open in an hour with new lot
Of victims, In whose presence the aged
Wisconsin man and the auctioneer
90 through the old farce again. 1t Is
needless TO say that the purchaser Of
the gold English-lever jeweled watch
finds himself stuck with an Oroide bO-
gus ticker that would be dear at three
dollars q bushel. In one den on Ann
street the thing is played twenty
times q day.

CICERO BRTcE's CREATIONS.

There was a boy at Hampton Wick,
Whose name, as 1t happened, was Cicero
Brick;
He fell in love in desperate fashion
With girl who fully returned his passion.
But she had a father who said, "No. mol
What! marry boy named Cicero?
Never, with my consent, my dear ~
What happened next we soon shall hear.
The daughter vspt till the father said,
"Cicero Brick and youmay wed,
When he has spoken an Oration
To an enormous congregation

The public felt no great surprise
When Cicero Brick did advertise
course OF ofleetures-flve or six
o, what a notion OF Cicero Brlck'sl
st. James Hall, In Regent street,
For these orations he said was meet;
The nrSt oration that he spoke
Twodozen heard it-what a joke,
The next time ten, the next time four,
And then the public came no more;
But Cicero Brek-this who shall blame9
Spoke the oratlons AL the same.
"Read my advertisement, "quoth he,
"And tell me what you in II see
About the orations being hedrIg
II says 'delfrered.' Il keep my word %
This was 50 HONEST and welI-meant,
The father did well-nigh relent;
he said, az never saw before
80 persevering an orator!"
The lOYer spoke, perhaps With grace,
For two hous in thstempty place!
The servants at the hall let out
The fact, and It got noised about
At concerts, balls, and conversations,
That Cicero spoke these orations
In that huge hall, week after week,
With no one there to hear him speak.
What was the consequences? A run,
A rush, TO hear and see It done;
1--WE really 1sNsf hear Cicero Brick ~
All London cried. The crowd was thick.
They mobbed the men who took the pay;
Hundreds that night were turned away;
And Cicero Brick spoke this Grafton
To an enormous congregation
The father OF the girl he wooed
Now kept his promise, as he should;
The wedding feast OF Cicero Brick
Came of at once near Hampton Wick;
And all the guests gave three cheers for
The perseyering orator.

Love and Business.

With women, love is a business;
with men, business is q love This
does not mean that women are mer-
cepary In love, or that men deal in
the spirit Of love in their ordinary
business. It means that love Is 10
women, yet more than to men, an
occupation, absorbing, that fills aud
uses much Of life; that to men, busi-
ness fills and uses much OF their life
in much the same way. As human
life is at present ordered, this appor-
tionment Of activities Is unavoidable
and appropriate.
