Private ana Social Wars.

The great and constant war Is pri-
vate one. The idea of a perpetual war
among nations would fill us with
CONSERVATION. And yet there is war
in constant operation everywhere but
in heaven. There are little fighting
squads in immense nefghborhOods,
families, schools and churches, which
are the pest of society. Neighbors-
some few in most neighborhoods-
seem possessed of the devil in this re-
spect and they seldom meet but at 1t
they 90 like belligerent cats. No one
doubts but the same fiend Is con-
slant guest i'm some families, and that
fathers and mothers, husbands and
wives, brothers and sisters, uncles
and aunts, abound, who are stupid
enough to get into passion with
each other, and indulge in angry
feelings and hard words. You can
hardly take an ordinary walk but
you will see children who have too
well learned the lesson taught them
by "children of larger growth"
who are making faces, shaking fists,
and shooting words, and perhaps
pulling hair, like old veteran, SOL
diers. And, alas, you can hardly go
to q church meeting without soon be-
coming aware that It is the church
militant that has assembled, and
that the god of war Is present.
If we privately indulge in the spirit
and practice Of war, what wonder
that we easily fall into the habit of
public war? Your private man of
war is your public man of war as he
reaches places of trust. Your fight
ing boys become your fighting men.
It Is slow work inducing nations to
resort to arbitration where the in
dividuals of a community are cult
waiting the war spirit. We must lay
the axe at the root of the tree here as
in all other vices. This perpetual
din of private war Is the cause of
much wretchedness and sin. How
many families have their greatest
trouble in the fact that some of the
members have no patience or forbear-
ance. The God of peace as much
forbids private war as public, and as
much invites his children to cultivate
in themselves each one for himself
the graces Of peace as he does ma
tiODs.

Critical Time for Colts.


1t very often happens that in the third
year of colts life 1t falls off in con-
dition, stops growing, and becomes mys-
teriously poor and emaciated. Disease
is suspected, various nostrums and alb
surd specifics for imaginary complaints
are administered, which fail to affect, and
it is only after lapse of time that meas
ure of improvement takes place, which,
however, leaves the colt permanent
ly injured and with an impaired constitu-
ton.
AT this period of the colts existence an
important dental change is going on.
The central temporary milk nippers, or
cutting teeth, in the front of its mouth
are shed, and the permanent teeth take
their place. If the colt is at grass II is
almost impossible fer tito Craze, and ii
suffers partial starvation. This is the
whole secret of many colts sufferings.
The trouble in such cases would be
avoided by occasionally examining the
mouth, and when the temporary absence
of the nippers is observed, to supply cut
feed of tender hay, with ground oats or
soft mashes or cut green fodder. This
provision would tide over the necessar-
lily occurring period of disability, and
prevent the otherwise inevitable falling
away and poverty of condition, with its
disastrous results -Ner York Tribune.

A Little Candid Criticism.

Nor long ago the youthful MIR. c.
was engaged to manipulate the ivory on
church organ not far from the Hub. AT
the same church and upon the same occa
sion Unitarian clergyman was engaged
to officiate in the pulpit. Both of these
gentlemen left town the following morning
by the same train, and both occupied the
same seat, the young organist recogniz-
ing the clergyman, but himself unknown
to the cloth. Passing the compliments of
the morning, the cloth queried whether
the young man attended the Unitarian
church the preceding day. Organ said he
had that pleasure, and asked Pulpit how
he liked the music. Pulpit said the
music would have been excellent if the
organ had not been played in so loud and
boisterous manner. Then old Pulpit
asked young Organ how he liked the
preaching. Organ said, Mot at all; the
preacher was too loud and ranting." A
gentleman in the next seat who had list
ened to the conversation, and knew both
parties, turned about and kindly intro
duccd the clergyman to the organist.--

Comparative Longevity Of jews and
Christians.

FROM an examination of the census
statistics of Austria, Russia, Turkey, Ger
many, England, France, and the United
States, writer in the Medical Record has
ascertained that the mean average dura-
ton of life among Jews exceeds that of
Christians by about five years. The state
ment is made, also, by Pressia, that there
is 18i per cent of deaths among Jews to
2-62 per cent among the general popula-
ton; and in France, Christians live, on
an average, SO years and II months, but
the Jews 43 years and 8 months. Accord
ing to nj. Mayer, leading authority, one.
half the Christians die before reaching 30
years of age, while, among the Jews, one
half live to be 50years old. OF the former,
too, only 1874 per cent. live to see their
10th year, while of the latter 81. per cent.
reach that age. A proportionately
smaller number of children, 1t is also
found. die among the Jews than in any
other race, this being attributed to the
fact that the Jews marry at more favora-

ButtOn.HOIe Flowers.

THE practice Of wearing flowers In the
button hole, although far more frequent
with us than few years ago, Is not In
America nearly so customary as In Eu-
rope. But nowhere is 1t carried to so
great an extent as In London. II is rath-
er the rule there than otherwise that a
well dressed man carries flower In his
button hole. The preparation Of small
nosegays for this purpose is a distinct
branch of trade, and the horticultural

They displayed as much bravery, and
evinced as much judgment, as intelligent
human beings. The red ants would not
risk an open engagement, but would in
stantly surround any struggling party and
kill them, though they themselves were
afterwards exterminated. The brown
ants, on receiving information from their
scouts of the whereabouts, would swarm
out of their haunt by myriads, their mo.

BASE BALL.-On Friday next, at 3,
P. NJ. on Terrace Hill, there will be
game of ball (weather permitting,) be-
tween the Bellows Falls Nine, and the
busters" The former being fresh
from their victorious contest with the
Stars of Walpole, need no particular
mention, further than that they will APP
pear on this occasion in new and APP
propriate uniform. The Busters " are
a somewhat peculiar organization COM
posed Of 16 members who have all seen
considerable service in various fields, and
will doubtless appear to advantage.
Their uniform consists of stove pipe hats,
linen busters and sun umbrellas, these
latter for use only during intervals of
the game. By reference to the schedule
below, il will be seen that every member
is an officer and that the seven extra
members are for the purpose of relief SO
that no danger may be apprehended OF
any stoppage of the game on account Of
sudden indisposition of any of the mem
hers.
