CLEANING THE LIPS.


No feature in the face Of child is love-
lier than the lips, with rows of pearly
teeth playing hide. and seek behind them.
But oh sometimes mouths which look
like rose-buds, send forth words unfit for 3
mothers ears-unfit for the ear in heaven
Some boys who would not dare to take
Gods name in vain, say what is coarse and
impure, forgetting that this also is sin.
We knew q dear old lady who many years
ago taught little private school in New
England town. Her heart was pure, and
therefore her words were sweet. She
loved the blessed Saviour, and cared most
tenderly for the lambs of his fold. She
seemed to live in the little children's world, +,
rejoicing and suffering with them. She
had always something pleasant to say, and
a flower or kiss to give; SO that the
scholars loved the school house next best
to mothers room at home.
They never had to be sent to school, but
ran off cheerfully before nine o'clock, that
they might speak to her before the little
bell rang. She believed what Solomon
said about the rod of correction > but, in
some way she got along without using it
very often. Once her heart was deeply
wounded by hearing that little fellow
had spoken unclean words when out at
play. When forced to punish very little
ones, she used to take them on her lap to
do it; but as master Charlie was nine
years old, che called him to stand before

own, and looking into his blue eyes, she
asked, Have you been using wicked words
to-day, my dearf'
Il did swear .whimpered Charlie.
tAre you willing to go home, and repeat
all you have said in your mothers pre-
sencef'
Charlie hung his head, and colored deep
", and whispered mo ma'am, because it
would grieve her,
'And have you forgotten, my dear boy,
that one who is far holier than she, and
loves you better than she, has heard in hea-
ven the naughty words which came from
those lips to-dayq am afraid there is
something unclean in your heart; but, as
1 cannot reach that myself, 1 will ask
Jesus to do it. I can reach your lips and
as I'm sure they are not fit to give your
mother the good night kiss nor to say your
prayers, will clepse them for you.
She then took from her desk a bowl o!
water, tiny bit of soap, and small
sponge, and bidding Charlie open his
mouth, she washed it well-teeth, tongue.
lips and all She then wiped them dry
with soft napkin, and bathed his tear
stained face, on which she pressed the kiss
of forgiveness. This simple punishment
and the real sorrow of her who Inflicted it.
made deep impression on the minds OF
all scholars. Charlie is almost a man, but
never since that day has an impure wore
escaped his lips. At the very thought O
such word, he says lie fancies he tastes
soap, and that he hears again the gentle
rebuke of his first teacher.

USE OF SILENcE.-A pity that so few
people understand the full effect of we'll
timed silence! How eloquentit is in reality
Acquiescence. contradiction, Difference dis
dain, embarrassment, and awe may all be
expressed by saying nothing. 1t may be
necessary to illustrate this apparent para
dox by a few examples. Do you seek an
assurance of your lady-love's affection
The fair one confirms her lovers fonGest
hopes by compliant and an asserting
silence. Should you hear an assertion
which you may deem false, made by some
one of whose veracity politeness may
withhold you from openly declaring your
doubt, you denote difference of opinion by
remaining silent. Are you receiving a
reprimand from a superior You mark
your respect by an attentive silence. Are
you compelled to listen to the frivolous
opinion of him by treating his loquacity
much domestic strife might have been pre-
vented, how often might the quarrel which
by mutual aggravation has, perhaps, ter
minated in bioodshed, checked in the
commencement by a judicious silence !!
Those persons only who have experienced
them are aware of the beneficial effects of
that forbearaoce, which to tho exasperating G
threat, the malicious sneer, or the upjustly
imputated culpability, shall never answer a
word. "A soft answer turns away wrath (;
but sometimes erring humanity cannot
give this soft answer in moments of irrita-
tion in such cases, there stands the fort
ress of silence, with doors wide open, as
refuge for the tired spirit until calmer

PLUcK.-Mention was made in the
Chronicle of the appointment by Congress
man Page of young Jimmy Glennon, OF
Oakland, to a cadetship in the naval school.
Young Glennon's school record has been
wonderful. To show the enormous task
the boy has been performing at the Uni
versity it may be interesting to state that
as long as there was grading offered the
boys to do around the grounds, Glennon at
the first hours in the morning, was over
from Almeda, about seven miles distant,
with his sleeves rolled up, and with pick
OF shovel in hand, trying to earn his twenty
cents en- hour along side of the brawny
laborers. But the most remarkable part
was that when the bell tapped for Iecita-
ton in mathematics he was promptly in
his place with perfect recitation. 1t is
considered remarkable if a student can get
through a term perfect in either recitation
or examination, and but one or two in a
class of sixty or seventy ever do this but
Glennon generally came off perfect in both
and often, when the whole section failed on
a difficult problem, our hero would walk
to the board and solve it in a twinkling.
Again, after recitations, James would be
found, with cheerful face and ready jokes
at command, trundling his wheelbarrow or
wheeling his homely implements among
the grading hands, whom he always kept
in jolly humor by his ready wit. A boy
capable of doing all this is bound to sue
ceed in iife.-San Francisco Chronicle.

The attention Of the post Office authorities
has been called TO the dangerous character of
Kerosene lamps in railway postal cars by the
recent terrible death of a postal clerk on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The matter OF
lighting postal cars is left to the discretion o!
the railroad companies, but the department has
for years Invariably recon- uended the use Of
the German student lamp" using lard Oil in
summer, and the same material, with a sufi-
Gent quantity Of kerosene 10 prevent freezing,
in winter, and a number o. lines have adopted
the suggestion. 1t is n subject, however, over
which the department should have entire con-
trel, since go many dreadful accidents have &C.
currSd from the use OF explosive Kerosene.
There are several lines OF road-One, we be-
heVe, the Georgia Centra!-which use gas for
lighting purposes very successfully and without
running any rlsk OF accidents by fire. 1t would
be good thing it all roads would adopt this
method.

Mr. James Parton, "historisn," who made
the daring raid lately upon the verscity o,
newspaper reporters, has had the tables turned
upon him by the scribes, who have succeeded
in showing some pretty bad cases of inaccu-
racy, to put IL mildly, in Partonian history.
The latest dig given to Truthful James' is in
the way Of taking the romance out of bit OF
felicitOus word painting in his Life OF Aaron
Burr" in which he describes the gloomy and
mysterious circumstances under which Burr
was buried, and the monument over his grave
was raised. He ssys:
Z" No one In the house saw the monument
erected or knew OF knows anything whatever
respecting IL. Nor was there any stOnecutter
In the vicinity competent 10 execute such a
piece of work. No relative of Aaron Burr nor
any of my numerous infcrmants explains the
mystery; The person who did the pious deed is

memorstes his Nance
matter-Of-fsct correspondent of the New
York Herald writes from Princeton, n. j., to
that paper that the burial proceedings were
entirely common place and at midday; that
the remains were conveyed to the college chalel
and brief funeral sermon was preached by
DR.. CaTnahan, president of the college, after
which the body was carried to the cemetery,
the students following the bier to the grave
The erection OF the monument was quite as uu-
romantic and Open-dsy an affair. The monu-
ment was made in New York by stone-cutte
named Brown, and paid for by contributions
from BuIr's relatives OF the Edwards family.
1t was put up over the grave by Princeton
stonemason named John Murphy. who says he
commenced the work about 9 o'clock in the
morning and concluded it about noon, and,
moreover, " that all were free to enter the
cemetery, while the position OF the grave was
such that parties passing along the road could
look over the fence and see what he was doing"
