Child Life in Shakerdolm.

THE Pittsfeld (NIass.) Eagle says
that children placed with the Shakers
1T Lebanon are indentured to Benja-
min Gates, or some authority. until
they ''become Of age" he agreeing i'll
the papers to provide them food cloth
ing, etc They are then placed in the
"children's ORDER" under the charge Of
4 sister designated to care for them,
and she commences at once to instill
into their minds the glories Of the
creed. In their management never
a blow is struck. Refractory ones
are punished by being laid fiat upon
the floor, face down. When they
have been kept thus prostrate for
length OF time, they are taken up and
"talked to- the enormity of their Of
tenses pointed out, and are exhorted
to behave better in the future. Those
from eight to a dozen years Of age
''go to confession every Saturday,
and Gown up" Tor are supposed toy to
the little sins Of the week that have
escaped the notice of their gurdians.
And as they receive special approval
after an apparently very full confess
ion, they early learn to conjure up
quite enormous stories, knowing that
they "gull" their confessors into
deeper beliefin their pretense. "Now
don't you feel better after contessing
all that ?" asks the ancient virgin who
has heard the story. "Yea, yea"
says the little miss, and tipping a wink
to her companions she walks out as
sedately as u spinster Of seventy.
Another mode Of punishment is to put
the youngster into large sack, tying
it lightly around the neck, Should
the child refuse to get into the bag
it is drawn over the refractory one,
and then, head, feet and all enveloped,
he or she is left to repent Of offensive
disobedience. The children are sent
to school four months each year-the
boys in the winter and the girls in the
summer. Co.oducation hasn't the
slightest support there. The girls and
boys must not converse together. If
they happen to meet and if roguish
youngster is bold enough to break the
silence with some pretty maiden, the
maiden must be deaf and dumb to him
Isn't there some boy here that you
are just little fonder Of than the
others ?" is standing question in the
confessional. The reply always is
''nay,' and the blind old goodies be
lieye it .

WEEDS ON THE ROAD SDE.-;
There is 4 law in New York, We
believe, that requires every road-mas
ter to see that the weeds along the
roadside in the district over which he
has juisdiction are cut twice year
that is twice during the season Of
growth. In some road districts and
by some road-masters this duty is
performed faithfully +; but by q large
majority no attention is paid to it.
Every good farmer is interested in
the faithful enforcement of this law
because the roadsides are great weed
breeders and disseminators, unless
they are carefully kept clean in the
manner described. The question Of
the tidy appearance of the road-sides
is a secondary consideration. 1t is
not probable that the law originated
in the motive of tidiness, but as an
economical measure-a means Of
protecting careful farmers from care.
lessness or slovenliness of untidy
neighbors.
Attention is therefore called to the
fact that every road masters warrant
does or should contain this as one Of
his specified duties and that if he
does not discharge it he should be
complained Of to the road commits.

1t is mentioned as a significant
circumstance that Rev. Mr.. Glenden.
ming, of Jersey city, does not occupy
the pulpit OF his church pending his
trial for grave offense, and that Mr..
Beecher begins anew his ministrations
in Plymouth pulpit, as though nothing
had happened. The eminent proprie-
ty ard fitness Of the former course
commends itself to every one. The
defiance of public sentiment also and
the brazeu facedness OF the latter,
presses itself upon the consideration Of
all, Mr.. Glendenning waits the re.
suit of the trial which is to prove or
disprove his guilt, before he enters
again upon his pastoral duties. Mr..
Beecher re-enters the pulpit with rs
much indifference as though nothing
had taken place, the result of which
might show that the ministry, the pull
pit and the church were dishonored by
his ministrationS. The former be-
longs to the ordinary class of human
beings the latter belongs TO the

A Remarkable MasOnc Incident.

The first Masonic funeral that ever
occurred in California took place in
1849, and was performed over a brother
found drowned in the bay of San Fran
cisco. An account of the ceremonies
states that on the body Of the deceas-
ed was found a silver mark of q Ma
son, upon which were engraved the
initials of his name. A little further
investigation revealed to the beholder
the most singular exhibition of the
Masonic emblems that was ever drawn
by the ingenuity of man upon the hui
man skin. There is nothing in the
history of traditions of Freemasonry
equal to it. Beautifully dotted on his
left arm, in red and blue ink, which
time could not efface, appeared all the
emblcms of the entire apprenticeship.
There was the Holy Bible, square and
compass, the twenty-four inch guage
and common gavel, There was also
the Masonic pavement, representing
the ground floor of King Solomon's
temple, the identical tessel which sur,
rounds it, and the blazing star in the
centre. On his right arm, and artist,
cally executed in the same indelible
liquid, were the emblems pertaining to
the tellowcratt's degree, viz: the
square, the level and the plumb.
There was also the five columns rep
resenting the five orders of architect
ure-the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corin-
THAN and Composite.
In removing his garments from his
body, the trowel presented itself with
all the other tools of operative Mason.

are emblematical of youth, manhood
and age. Admirably executed was
the weeping virgin, reclining on a
broken column, upon which lay the
book of constitutions In her right
hand she held the pot of incense, the
Masonic emblem of a pure heart, and
in her left hand a sprig Of acacia, the
emblem Of the immortality of the
soul.
Immediately below her stood wing

which cuts the brittle thread of life,
and the hour-g glass at his feet, which is
ever reminding us that our lives are
withering away. The withered and
attenuated figures Of the Destroyer
were placed amid the long and flow
ing ringlets Of the disconsolate mourn
er. Thus were striking emblems of
mortality and immortality blended in
one pictorial representation. 1t was

the fraternity will never witness again,
The brothers name was never known.

the following touching incident :
Sunday night a policeman on Baker
street, passing a certain house about
ten o'clock, saw a man drop from a
window and heard smothered cries in

owner of the house in his clutches.

1T NEVER PAYS.

1t never pays to fret and growl,
When fortune seems our foe
The better bred will look ahead,
And strike the braver blow,
For luck is work.
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom,
But yield the play,
And clear the way,
That better men have room.
1t never pays to wreck tho health
In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheapest bought with pain.
An humble lot,
n cosy cot,
Have tempted even kings,
For station high,
That wealth will buy,
Not oft contentment brings.
1t never pays blunt refrain,
Well worthy Of a song,
For age and youth must learn the truth,
That nothing pays that's wrong,
The good and pure
Alone are sure
To bring prolonged success,
While what is right
In Heavens sight
IL always sure to bless.

Some four hundred females will
be thrown out Of employment by the
transfer of the printing of the internal
revenue stamps from the Printing
Bureau in the U. S. Treasury to q
private concern in New York. The
government has the presses, machin-
cry, material and skilled employees
for doing the work, and ought to be
able to do it cheaper than those who
must necessarily derive profit from
it. The expressage on the stamps
when printed, from New York to
Washington, is no inconsiderab1e
item, and this is saved by having the
work done in the Treasury. When
the stamps were printed by private
parties before the country was flooded
with well executed counterfeits, but
this has not been the case since the
work has been done by the govern
ment. None of the officers in charge
of the Printing Bureau appear to
know why the change has been made,
but it is safe to say that some inter
mediary parties have found profit in
it. Congress when it meets should
enquire into the matter.

Fallen in Morals.

GA great lamentation of how men
have fallen in morals is an everyday
occurrence. | consider man is now as
GOOD and q little better then he even
was before in intellect and moral con,
ditions. That all men have plenty of
animal brains we will admit, but not
near as much nor are they as active as
they used to be in our forefathors
That intellect and morals are gaining
and ascending all must admit. 1t IS
no criterion because some Of our men
in high station have shown breach OF
trust. We know how they get into
office most of them by sharpness in
trade, and when they got this wealth
it was easy to buy up the votes of the
dishonest, and gull the fools. When
a man gets wealth and puts on a good
appearance, we are foolish enough to
think he is a respectable man. Prop
erty covers multitude of sins, but
where, on the other hand, IS man
every way worthy for the highest pub
lie trust, but, forsooth, has not grab,
bed very big share of this worlds
goods you do not shower fat offices
on him no, he is not thought respec,
table enough. Verify we are a curl
ous race. Men that we know to be
dishonest all their lifetime, that have
been directly and indirectly stealing
from their fellow-men, we put into
places where they can carry 1t on on a
grander scale and when it turns out
that they have been practicing in
their old line, we make q great TODD
and lament on the fall Of man IT II
Such men luxuriate and give full play
to their animal faculties, supposing
that wealth is going to do everything
for them; but in the latter part of
their lives they find out great mis-
take, They find out that property, il
it is not used for a good purpose, i.
nothing more than bubble; prick it.
and it bursts, and carries them as vic
tins into general destruction. y Mr.

Rye Coffee.

Steep your Rye in hot water, until
it swells, then let it dry and toast it
as you would Coffee, when it is to be
ground and boiled as usual, and it
makes a beverage much more whole
some than the imported Coffee, and
which very little practice will rend-
er more agreeable. The price of one
pound of foreign Coffee has furnished
the writer's family with Rye enough
to supply them tor three months
less sugar is requisite and when
cream is not to be had, boiled milk is
very good. 1t is needless to show how
much would be saved to the country
by thus resorting to the domestic
article and it is recommended to
those with whom the expense is not
considered an object, to set an ex,
ample worthy of imitation. Foreign
Coffee disagrees with many persons
who have little idea of it and Rye
has in all cases been found perfectly
harmless. S.
