Girls, in treating d'ssipated young
men as equals, do wrong they can
scarcely realize. Such men should be
made to feel that until they redeem
themselves, until they walk with cor
rcctness aud honor in the path Of right
good people will stand alooe from them.
Girls who have any respect for them
selves will not be seen with such young
men, aud viii | decline to receive them
on the familiar footing OF friendship

cision on the part Of the girls Of to day

nobler to those who come after, you

early life the brain, though abounjiug

able to injury---and this to such de-
gree that comparatively brief aud

appears both to lower the tone, and
impair the efficacy Of the brain for

A Caution.

Each year hundreds of people lose their lives by the communication of fire to their clothing. Children's cloth ing is light and infiammable as they venture near gas lights or other columns of flame. Dancers and others on the stage are also nightly subject to danger. French chemists declare that experi- ments in that line have convinced them that valuable compound to do the de- sired work may be formed by boiling together twenty-fiv pounds of sugar of lead, fifteen pounds of litharge and forty gallons of water, for about half an hour. When this liquid is to be used, as much of it is taken as will at least completely cover the fabric or material to be treated-or, in many cases, the fabric, may be simply passed through the solution, raised to nearly the boiling point. This opera ton having been performed, the fabric is removed, and spread out for about twelve hours to the contact of the air, after which it is to. be immersed for period of from one to two hours into hot and moderately strong solution of silicate of soda. On being withdrawn from tl.is bath of si1icate of soda, the material is allowed tt drain, then wash thoroughly in soft water, and when dried, it will be found to have acquired. to valuable degree, the property of being uninfiammable. If a hundred or more human lives can be saved each wear by this process, it will be one of the most valuable ever presented to the world. ... L|.t. a -.. ,'..

in the house with a strong rope, for fear he might kill Melvina. Parks said he found them great burden and their care interfered with his studies. Sur. rounded by wretchedness and filth, the father of these brute like offspring had learned the Bible almost by heart, being able to repeat whole chapters at will from any portion of it. He was also we'll versed in history and mathematics. and had invented system of shorthand writing which he used with wonderful dexterity. He exhibited specimens of penmanship executed by himself which were really elegant. He also recited selections from Shakespeare in @ manner that astonished his hearers. He said he regretted his wifes absence very much, as it prevented him from inves- tigating an important etymological theory of his. ...
 The hunters left, finding it difficult to credit even what they had seen and heard. When the news of the "wild family" became known the farm was besieged with callers, and two enter prising individuals conceived the idea of securing the family and exhibiting the wild mutes about the country. Parks was willing to engage in the en- terprise, and leas ed his unfortunate off spring for the purpose. He accom- panied the exhibition, featuring upon the circumstances attending the lives were taken about the country for few weeks, but the speculation proved failure, and they were returned to the wilderness. Removed from restraint, they tore to shreds the clothing that hoI they reached home.
 After the first excitement created by the discovery of this family had died away they were forgotten. The arrest and incarceration of one of them has again brought them forward, and re- vealed still more sickening chapter in their history. .t....... ....
 Parks, the father, says that after their return home from the exhibition tour, Bill became more and more vio- lent in his temper. He made several deadly assaults on both his sister and father. A few months after their return Melvina gave birth to child. This child she and Bill killed in the woods and tore it to pieces. Not long after wards Bill attacked his sister and killed her with an old knife that Palks used to cut up pumpkins with. Parks buried his daughter, and ever since that time he has lived in deadly fear of his son.
 One day Bill attacked his father, knocking him down with 8 club. The old man got away from him, however, and came for an officer to arrest him. Two men went to Parks's place, and succeeded, after struggle, in captur- ing him. They put suit of clothing on him and brought him to Tunkhan- nook, and lodged him in jail. As soon as he was placed in the cell he tore off his clothing, and is now perfectly naked. Hundreds have focked to the jail to see him. The wild, mute, maniac son will doubtless be sent to the insane asylum to spend the rest of his days. It seems incredible that in this en- frightened age, within the sound, as it were, of the church bells of populous town, such case of utter depravity and wretchedness could exist. But the above are the facts, which can be sub- stantiated by plenty of reliable wit nesses. ..-.

Warm Winters.

It is customary to forget eaah win ter's weather before the next comes, and to consider every season remark able. An old number of the Hartford Courant contains some records tran scribed from the journal of the Rev. Thomas Smith, of Portland, Maine, kept between the years 1730 and 1795, which are rendered especially interest ing by the present mildness. Tn 1735 January was pleasant and moderate, and February was a summer month ; in 1738 January came in like April in TAO there were but two snow storms ; February was 0 summer month again, and March the same l; in 1751, January 15, the frost was entirely out of the ground, February was like, spring, and "the winter ends awonder through the whole" In 1756, in January the fish, as they are reported to have done this year, '" struck in " from the sea, the weather being so warm. February was delightful, and March clustering, but soft as May. In 1773 MT. Smith records summer day on January 27, wonderfully moderate the next day, and February 9, s'no snow since Decem- Der 29, wonderful weather. We saw two robins." In the year 1775, Feb. 27, the New Yerk GdSette and Post Bog reports that last Wednesday the wea- ther was so uncommon warm that many lads went into the river to swim"
 These are records all but one of then more than century old. They notice six remarkably warm winters within { period of forty years, but coming witt no noticeable periodicity. People whe are calling this season strange above al others, indicative that our planet hat drifted into new influences, and who are promising all sorts of consequences from poor crops to Second Advent, may bear in mind that there is a aprecedent for it all, and that whether the weather is divinely dispensed each day or is { grand sequence under ordained law which prayer cannot effect, it keeps coming and changing hour by hour, and the peculiar freaks of 9 century and more ago have not resulted in an
 initiation yet. Nor has the period be-
 tween then and now been one of unin
 terrupted disaster. -., -....,g .a

JUST HIS DUTY.

It was in the year of the great Min Eesota snow storms. You heard of them, I dare say. Most people did {; and I've little doubt that, to ladies and gentlemen sitting by their snug fire sides in London and New York, there was something pleasantly exciting in the daily accounts from those far Vest tern States, of how the snow kept fall, fall, falling. day by day and week by week, in one soft, steady sheet of dag zling white, till it rose high over walls and hedges, plotted out roads, and fields, and streams, and made hills and dales alike one dead, blank level. Peo- pie read with eager curiosity of whole coach-loads frozen up in one night, of travellers lost in the whirling drifts within yard or two of their own homes, of men going out to seek for stray cattle, to be found dead and stiff within an hour or so.
 His name was Hugh Garston, and he was the master of an infants school halfway between Rock Rapids, Iowa, and the villageof White Water Springs. Hugh's father had been a gentleman of property, given to travelling in his youth and having rambled as far as Iowa one summer, had there fallen in love with and married 8 trapper's daughter. ".-
 As soon as the deed was done he was very much ashamed of it ; deserted his wife as soon as possible, and returned to his ancestral halls in Yorkshire. Un- fortunately, the trapper's daughter was not person of delicacy. Instead of taking her desertion as gentle hint that Mir. Garston was tired of her, and resigning herself accordingly, this young woman packed up change of linen, and not only started off in pur- suit of him, but actually found him in his own home; and, arriving at the hall with a fortnight old baby in her arms, she presented the baby to the halls master as his son.
 In good time Hugh went to college In the latter's twentieth year, however, something occurred which turned all this good to bad. MT. Garston had destined him for the church. Hugh de- clined to enter it. A quarrel ensued. Unpleasant disclosures followed. Hugh learnt for the first time that his mother was not dead, but living and disowned, and that the second Mrs. Garston owed her marriage to lucky and legal flaw l in the first ceremony.
 Passion is productive of nasty words. Wise men pay no heed to them. Hugh was not wise. Within week he had thrown up father, college and pros- poets, and departed to seek his mother | in the far West. Please to remember his trapper blood in excuse, and excuse | him-as did.
 | When next met him it was out there, 1 and he was returning from his mother l funeral. He had found her living alone l in a small house on the hills, keeping g small school, and suffering from a | lingering internal disorder which made life one long torture to her.
 Hugh brought the best medicine that torture could admit presence and his love; and under that gentle balm Mary Garston fingered two years, rest ing from her labors in peace and happi ness, while the young Oxonion kept school and house fer her, and tended her like nurse, servant, and son. il one. 5.s ,r-- .r... T .-' -r s-
 Naturally, now she was gone, urged him to give up this wretched life, and
