Better whistle than Whine.

AS was taking q walk early in Sep
TENDER, L noticed two little boys on their
way to school. The smaller stumbled
and fell, and though he was not very
much hurt, he began to whine in baby
ish way,-not regular roaring boy. cry.
as though he were half-killed, but lit
tie, cross whine.
The older boy took his hand in kind
and fatherly way, and said
"Oh, never mind, Jimmy; don't
whine; it is great deal better to
whistle"
And he began in the merriest way o
cheeful boy-whistle. ....
Jimmy tried to join in the whistle.
60 can't whistle as nice as you, Char
lie" said he; "my lips won't quicker up
good"
ooh, that is because you have not
got all the whine out yet, said Charlie;
but you try minute, and the whistle
will drive the whine away"
So he did, and the last saw or heard
of the little fellows, they were whist.

was the chief end of life. / learned a
lesson which l hope 1 shall not soon

1t is better TO whistle than whine;
1t is better TO laugh than TO cry,
For though IL is cloudy, the sun will soon shine
Across the blue, beautiful sky
II is better to whistle than whine,
man with the sorrowful brow
Let the words of the child scatter murmurs OF
thine,
And gather his cheerfulness now.
IL is better 20 whistle than whine,
Poor mother! 30 weary with care,
Thank God for the love and the peace that are
thine,
And the Joy of thy little ones share.
II is better to whistle than whine.
Though troubles you find in your way,
Remember that wise little fellow of mine,
And whistle your whining away.
God bless that brave boy for the cheer
He brought to this sad heart of mine
When tempted TO murmur, that young voice hear,

Philadelphia Ledger submitted, for the
information of the Boys of America,
the following synopsis of game which
he thinks ought in a short time to be-
come as popular as base ball.
The game in question is known in
Ireland by the name of "Sout," But
even there it is certainly not played in
conformity with its original constitu-
ton. In an old French document on
Athletics" which 1 stumbled upon q
short time ago, under the caption of
&C. La Chase de Guerre," / at once
recognized the leading constituents of
its crude parody of the "Old Land, Z"
Scout" The Norman title, 1 think,
ought to be retained, because "Chasse
de Guerre sounds good, and by that
ma ne propose to present it.
The contestants consist of thirteen on
a side, which includes the master 4"
Cor LEADER of the company. The scene
of action is parallelogram, go by so
yards. Each company, with its chosen
master, takes position in the right and
left corners at the head of the "place. I"
Then one from each side goes out, and
is placed by the umpire ON the starting
line midway between the parties, and
likewise at the head of the grounds.
The race is to be 200 yards, and the
winning post" is small fag-pole,
surrounded by small pennant of the
united colors of tho contestants. The
pole may be a neat lance-wood stick
about six feet high by an inch and a
half in diameter, with a wedge shaped
hnf NH, Il, g - L.
in the ground or in the cleft of q small
block of wood. The capture of the
flag-pole, which should easily yield to
the forward pressure of the hand, at
once secures "point to the party
whose man has taken it, and makes
"prisoner of his unsuccessful OPP
ponent. The first twelve points decide
the game. The second "master" will
have charge of the fag-pole and read
just it Immediately after each capture.
Each winner is entitled to run again,
rs often as he takes the pole. But he
must not do so until the
balance of his free companions
have each had "spin." If any one of
the opposing parties should have the
unprecedented good fortune to take
prisoner every race, it will of course win
the game right of, making twelve con-
secutive points to nothing. But if in
stead of making twelve consecutive
points it should meantime have lost three
prisoners, the master of the captured
company is entitled to claim an exchange,
and to continue the game with the three
and SO on until no one to ex-
change remains at the losing side, and
the game is dc .tacto declared. No ex-
change is admissible while single con-
testant remains at either side. strongly
recommend this fine invigorating and in
spiriting game to the boys, whether in
transit or full-grown, of America.

Besides setting the example of totalab-
stinence to the people of Mississippi,
Governor Ames is putting his face against
dueling, as we learn from the New York
Times, which says: Gov. Ames will be
cordially supported by the general public
in his efforts to put stop to dueling in
Mississippi. There have been of late sew
eral ofthese disgraceful affairs in the State,
some of which have been more scandalous
than usual in their incidents. In one case
the parties took wine, cigars, and provis-
ions to the scene of combat, together with
a lot of reporters to chronicle events, and
proceeded to commit murder with all the
Accomplishments necessary to give inter-
est to the occasion. 1t was this affair
which scenes to have aroused Gov. Ames
to his duty in the matter, for he declares
he had "ihe whole crowd arrested and
locked up. "and now proposes to have them
indicted and punished. If Gov. Ames
succeeds in enforcing the laws against
that polite method of murder known as
dueling, he will be entitled to the public
gratitude. Ever since the days of Foote
and Prentiss, Mississippi has been noted
for this system OF homicide. 1t was, and
we presume is, thought to be chivalrous
to have any trivial quarrel followed by a
melting which is tragical or farcical as
accident may determine. The action of
Gev. Ames viii convince the peop'e who
engage in these affairs that they are COM
hitting crimes. and the result will be cor
rection of public sentiment which is great
ly needed"

ANOTHER, GREAT FLOOD.

A tremendous and almost unprece-
dented fall of rain occurred at Pittsburg
and Allegheny City, Pa, July 10Th,
swelling the rivers and brooks, and Great
ing new torrents which poured through
the narrow gorges and valleys in and
over which those cities are built, sweep
ing everything before in a manner not
unlike the recent Mill river food, and
causing besides the loss of many lives,
the destruction of much property. The
extent of territory damaged is not less
than 20 to % miles in diameter. and
how the main portion of Pittsburg, lying
as it does. In the center of this circle.
escaped further injury appears almost
miraculous. A prevailing theory is that
the disaster was caused by some kind
of water-spout, and, indeed, gentleman
who watched the storm from a point
few miles down the river, where there
was little rain, says that by the ftful
flashes of lightning he could see large
inky-black, funnel shaped cloud which
overhung the city, the narrow end being
the lowest, while the dark parts gave
vent to almost continuous flashes of light
ming.
1t is impossible yet to accurately es-
innate the total loss of life by the terri
bic disaster. Careful judges place it as
high as 200 persons-the lowest at 40
to l50. Bodies are continually being
discovered and brought into the morgues :
very many persons are missing, and it
Is probably not Over-estimating the total
loss of life to place it at 200 persons.
while the loss of property is proportion
ately large.

quantity, full days teaching might
fill it full of knowledge, or full days
preaching fill it full of religion, but it
is not thing of given capacity. Itmay
be cIogged but not filed. The saint or
sinner who has spent the day under the
fire of two long discourses, returns to
his home oppressed and fatigued. and in
no pleasant state Of mind. Those wordy
preachers who voluntsrially give us, for
one effort of moral digestion, the equiv
alent of Baxter's Saints Rest, Cruden's
Concordance, and the whole moral law,
overtask their patients, and do little
good. In these summer months when
the system is enervated and fatigued by
labor, and the air is filed with stupefy-
ing influences, it takes a good deal of
effort and devotion to keep awake. and
long sermons are intolerable. Most
preachers are able to give one short,
stirring, powerful discourse that viii
captivate the attention of their hearers,
and leave lasting impressions for good
but the speakers are rare who can carry
their congregations along through the
forenoon and afternoon in any state but
that of somnoleEcy. Some of the advo-
Gates of double sermons belong to that
class of conservative creatures who feel
it to be christian duty to oppose every
new custom. 1t is useless to argue for
the purpose of convincing them, for their
opinions were petri6ed years ago. Some
feel that the pastor will not earn his sal

If 1t be your object to force labor upon

ly would it not be well to consider wheth
er greater desire on our part to do good
and to assist others, would not relieve
those who carry on church services of
heavy burdens, and accomplish those re-
suits which We seek to have brought
