who use Long Words.

Big words are great favorites with
people of small ideas and weak concep-
tions. They are often employed by
men of mind when they use language
that may best conceal their thoughts.
With few exceptions, however, litter
ate and half educated persons use more
big words than people of thorough ed
ucation. 1t is very common but a
very egregious mistake to suppose that
long words are more genteel than short
ones--just as the same sort OF people
imagine high colors and hashy figures
improve the style of dress. They are
the kind of folks who don't begin, but
always commence. They don't go to
bed but mysteriously retire. They
don't eat and drink, but partake of re-
freshments. They are never sick, but
extremely indisposed. And instead Of
dying, at last, they decease. The
strength of the English language is in
the short words-chiefy monosyllables
of Saxon Observation-Disclosures who
are in earnest seldom use any other.
Love, hate, anger, grief, JOY, express
themselves in short words and direct
sentences while cunning, falsehood
and affection delight in what Horace
calls uerba sesquipedaiid-words "a
foot and half long.

Passing Away.

We have often remarked the unconcern of
visitors to one of our beautiful cemeteries,
as they traverse the avenues and comment
on the good or bad taste of the monuments
erected The visit in most cases is one of
mere curiosity. Although every tablet and
inscription is a direct sermon to the living
Thou art mortal, and must die-the appeal
reaches not the heart as truth not to be
safely trifed with. The fact that all are
mortal is not denied, but its personal appli-
cation is evaded. Death is regarded as re-
mote-it will come, but not for many years
-''thus dies in human hearts the thoughts
of death" The most impressive lessons are
set aside as not demanding immediate con-
sideration, and are regarded as obtrusive if
they for a moment check the spirit of intense
worldliness. The solemn awe which for a
moment is produced by the entrance into
family of q stern messenger, striking down
its head, is soon replaced by the eager eal-
culations of worldly profit which the event
may bring in its train. 1t is not uncommon
that disputes arise about the division of pro
perty left by the dead, and the house of
mourning being converted into scene Of
angry quarrels. So little is the voice Of
Providence regarded. The obituary columns
of newspaper, in which are recorded the
exit of the distinguished, instead of admonish-
ing us of the vanity of human life, impart
feeble impressions, soon to be efaced. The
voice is silenced in death Of one who figured
in the forum, the cabinet, the senate, or the
pulpit, and after few formal regrets, the
strife is who shall succeed to the place va
Gated. Men, eager for wealth and honOrs,

Profitable Business for Women.

One of the most profitable as well as
interesting kinds of business for women
is the care Of bees. In recent sgri-
cultural report it is stated that one
lady bought four hives for $40, and in
five years she was offered 800 for
her stock, and refused it as not enough.
In addition to this increase IN her capi-
tai, in one of these five years she sold
twenty-five hives and four hundred and
thirty pounds of honey. 1t is also
stated that in five years one man, from
six colonies of bees to start with,
cleared 5000 pouAds Of honey and fifty
four colonies. When properly in
structed, almost any woman in the city,
as easily as in the country, can manage
bees and make more profit than in any
other method demanding so little time
and labor. But in the modes ordina-
rily practiced few can make any great
profit in this employment. 1t is hoped
q time is at hand when every woman
will be trained to some employment by
which she can secure to herself an in
dependent home and means to support
q family, in case she does not marry or
is left widow, with herself and family
to support.-Anaerican Woman's
Home.

Poetry.
LEARN TO KEEP HOUSE.

Beautiful maidens-aye natures fair queens
Some IN your twenties and some in YOUR teens
Seeking accomplishments worthy your aim.
STRIVING for learning. thirsting for fame:,
Taking such pains with the style of your
hair,
Keeping your lily complexion so fair;
Miss not htis item in all your gay lives.
Learn to keep house, YOU may one asv be
wives
Learn to keep house.
Now your Adonis loves sweet moonlight walks.
Hand clasps, and kisses, and nice little talks.
Then, as plain Charley, with his burden of
care,
He must subsist on more nourishing fare;
He will come home at the set of the sun
Heart sick and weary. his working day done.
Thence let his slippered feet ne'er wish to
roam,
Learn to keep house that you NAV keep home.
Learn to keep house.
First in his eyes will be children and wife.
Joy of his joy and life of his life,
Next to his bright dwelling, his table, his
meals.
Shnnk not at what nv pen trembling reveals,
Maidens romantic, the truth must be told,
knowledge is better THAI silver and gold:
Then be prepared in the spring time of health
Learn to keep house though surrounded by
wealth.
Learn to keep house.

The ocean stretched away in silent vast
ness at our feet; the sound Of its waves
scarcely reached our airy lookout; away in
the north the huge old sun swung low along
the horizon, like the slow beat Of the pendu-
lum in the tall clock Of our grandfather
parlor corner. We all stood silent, looking
at our watches. When both hands came
together at l2, midnight, the full round orb
hung triumphantly above the wave-a bridge
of gold, running due north, spanned the
water between US and him. There he shone
in silent majesty, which knew no setting.
We involuntarily took off our hats; no word
was said. Combine, if you can, the most
brilliant sunrise and sunset you ever saw,
and its beauties will pale before the gorgeous
coloring which now lit up the ocean, heaven,
and mountain. In half an hour the sun had
swung up perceptibly on his beat, the colors
changed to those of morning, fresh breeze
rippled over the food, one songster after
another piped up in the grove behind us
we had slid into another day.-H. Camp
bells Moray Travels.

Life In India.

The Times" Calcutta correspondent,
describing the life of English planters
in India, relates the following incident:
l met planter who, far removed from
European society, has managed to write
and print mot publish, l think a most
labOriOus book, for the purpose of prov
ing that all the religions of the world
are traeeable to pOetical or astrOlogi-
myth as Jupiter. This he told me, in
bungalow reading Max Muller with the
freshness of boy and the closeness of
a man accustomed to hard thought.
CHANGING to mention these facts to
another gentleman, he said: "Yes, but
gentle as Mr.. SO-and-sO is, I'll tell you
what he once did. There was a band
of DacOits in the neighbOrhOOd, and in
the daily habit of levying blackmail,
IL the chief was paid monthly wage.
the person SO paying was secured in his
property. If not, thieving was allowed
and he soon lost far more than would
perhaps have warded off the robberies
for years. The Chief one day called
upon Mr.. -, and professed to need
a sum of money. The Englishman said,
Yes, will give you notes. and he Ie-
ceived the expected answer that the
man did not want notes but rupees. Ii
was agreed, therefore, that the rObber
should call again for the money, which
would be provided against a certain
time. The planter could have called in
help, but the experiment was danger
Gus one, and he resolved that he would
not place any one else in the position
of suffering from the almost certain
retaliation. He armed two of his ser
wants, Sikhs, and when the rObber
again appeared, pinned him to the wall,
tied him hand and foot, put him on an
elephant and carried him a consider
able distance to prison, where before
trial he died of cholera. The act alto
gether was one of great during; the
captor, seated on another elephant,
held a loaded musket ready to shoot
the robber in case of an attempt at res
cue, but that act of resolution broke up
the gang, and DacOity, for a time at
least, was at an end"

Foolish spending is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of work,
nor of hard work. Work for the wages
you can gel, but work for half price
rather than be idle. Be your master,
and do not let society or fashion swallow
up your individuality-hat, coat, and
boots. Do not eat up and wear out all
that you earn. Compel your selfish
body to spare something for profits
saved. Be stingy to your own appetite,
but merciful to others necessities. Help
others, and ask no help for yourself.
See that you are proud. Let your pride
be of the right kind. Be too proud to
be lazy; too proud to give up without
conquering every difficulty; too proud
to wear 9 coat that you cannot afford to
buy; too proud to be in company you
cannot keep up with in expenses too
proud to lie. or steal, or cheat ; too
proud to be stingy.

Ones Chances of Living.

medical writer of eminence has been
collecting evidence as to the chances OF
life which children have, upon being
born, in different countries. Out oi
10000 children born it is found from
official statistics that in Norway as many
as 7, AS, or roughly speaking, three out
of every four, live to be twenty years OF
age. In England only 6,627 SO live, or
7SS fewer than in Norway. In the
United States boys have nearly as good
chance of life as in England, while girls
lave not. But in France only 5,O22, or
scarcely more than one out of two, reach
twenty, while in Ireland no more than
1856, or actually less than one out OF
two, attain that age. More surprising
still are the statistics regarding old age.
Out of the 10000, for example, we
learn that in Norway 3, 487, more than
one out of three, reach seventy in
England almost one out of four in the
United States, still men only. one out
of four-a trifie higher than England !;
in France, 1,776, or about one of 81, and
in Ireland only sol, or one out of III.
II this table is to be depended upon, We
thus learn that of all countries in the
world Norway offers the newborn child
the best chance of long life, while Ire
land offers the worst. And France,
universally admitted to be so far as soil
and climate are concerned one of the
most favored regions of the earth, offers
but little better chance than Ireland.

Live True.

He that pretends to happy life must
first lay q foundation OF virtue, as q
bond upon him to live and die true to
that cause. We do not find felicity in
the veins of the earth, where we dig for
gold; nor in the bosom Of the sea,
where We fish for pearls bnt in pure
and untainted mind, which, if it were
not holy, were fit to entertain the Diety.
He that would be truly happy must
think his own lot best, and 80 live with
men as considering God sees him, and
so to speak, as il men heard him.

INTELLIGENCE OF ASTs.-Each ant in
an ant-hill knows his companions. MIR.
Darwin several times carried ants from
one hill to another, inhabited apparently
by tens of thousands of ants I; but the
strangers were invariably detected and
killed. Thinking there might be a
family odor by which they were recog-
nized, he put some ants from very
large nest into a bottle strongly per
fumed with assafetida, and restored
them after twenty-four hours. At first
they were threatened by their com.
panions, but soon recognized, and
allowed to pass.

thoriaed and instructed James Il. Bark.
ley, Esq, sheriff of Dallas county, to
continue the collection of taxes until
the first day of January, 1875; after that
date, twenty per cent additional will
be collected, and the sheriff will be
compelled to levy upon property and
sell the same tor said taxes. The sher.
III is ordered, peremp:orily by the
comptroller, to at once levy upon prop
erty for the unpaid taxes of 1871, 1877
and 1873, and in accordance will this
day, December IL, 1874, send a deputy
into each precinct for the purpose OF
making such levy. The instructions
of the sheriff are positive, and he can
not disobey them without violating the
law and failing in his sworn duty.
