Look Out Husbands !

Husbands have had serious warnings
about the fondling Of wives ever since
Sampson got his hair cut, and pulled an
old house down-but it's no use. Only
last week Mrs. John johnson, of Montgom-
cry county, in Iowa, shot her husband while
fondling him. He had her in his arms,
petting her-and she, as though she had
waited till she found him at his happiest,
suddenly put pistol square upon his fore
head, and pulled the trigger, lodging the
ball near his brain.
And now comes fondle number two from
Monona county, also of Iowa. Mr.. Jere-
miah Shepard, farmer, was Just home
from trip to a neighboring county He
took seat upon his hearth and Mrs.
Shepard, to welcome hubby home, took a
seat upon his lap, and proceeded to caress

THE PULPIT YELL-The habit of shout

equally as Objectionable, while sudden tran
sition from one extreme TO the other is suffic-
iently artificial to comprehend the evils of

so destructive to spiritual emotions, and so
repellent to serious contemplations, that a

On OUR JUDGMENT OF OTnERs.-Of all
the errors in judging of Others, some OF the
worst are made in judging of those who are
nearest to US. They think that we have en-
tirely made up our minds about them, and
are apt to show us that sort OF behavior only
which they know we expect. Perhaps, too,
they fear us, or they are convinced that we
do not and cannot sympathize with them.
And SO we move about in a mist, and talk of
phantoms as if they were living men, and
think that we understand those who never
interchange any discourse with us. but the
talk of the .narket-place. 1t is well to be
thoroughly impressed with sense If the diff
ficulty of judging about Others; still, judge
we must, and sometimes very hastily; the
purposes of life require it. We have, how
ever, moIe and better materials, sometimes,
than we are aware of; for the primary char
acter of man is especially discernibe in
trifles; for then he acts almost unconsciously.
You may learn more of person by a little
converse with him, than by faithful outline
of his history. The most important OF bis
actions may be anything but the most sgnifi-
cant of the man; for they are likely to lie the
results of many things besides his nature. I
donbt whether you might not learn more
from good portrait of him, than from two
or three of the most prominent actions of his
life. Indeed, if men did not express much
of their nature in their manners. appearance
and general bearing, we should be at a sad
loss to make up our minds how to deal with
each other.-Arthur Helps.

THE LEISURE TINE OF BOYs.-We would
suggest, to the many parents who are per-
picked with the difficulty of finding the
wherewithal to amuse and interest their
boys, to give thei, lads every opportunity of
acquiring mechanical trade. The industry
and ingenuity of boy OF average ability,
says the Scientific american, may easily be
made to furnish him with a never-failng
source of amusement of the best order.
The boy who can produce or make some
thing, already begins to feel that be is some
body in the world, that achievement of a re-
suit is not reward reserved for grown peo-
pie only. And the education of mind, eye,
and hand, which the use of tools and mt
chanical appliances furnishes, is of great
and real value, beyond the good resulting
from the occupation of leisure time. Having
nothing to do is as great a snare to the
young as it is to the tull grown; and o
greater benefits can be conferred on youths
than to 10 teach them to convert time now
wasted, and often worse than wasted. into
pleasant means of recreation aud mental i'm
provement The boy. whose time and mind
are now occupied with marbles and kites,
may be Watt, Morse or Bessemer, in
embryo; and it is certainly an easy matter
to turn his thoughts aud musings into a
channel which shall give full scope to their
faculties. As to most boys the use of me-
chanica tools is the most fascinating of all
occupations. As logic and mathematics
have value beyond accuracy in argument
and the correct solution of problems, in that
they teach men the habit OF using theif re-
1ecting powers systematically, so carpentry,
tlrning and other arts are of high impor-
taLce. These occupations teach boys to
think, to proceed from initial causes TO re-
suits, and no, only to understand the nature
and duty of the mechanical powers, but TO
observe their effects; and to acquire knowl-
edge by actual experiment, which is the best
way of learning anything. All the theories
culled out of books leave an impress on the
mind and memory which is slight compared
to that OF the practical experience OF the uue
mechanic. Our advice il, TO all who have
| the great responsibility of the chaige OF boys
| Give them lathe, or set OF carpenters or
| even blacksmith's tools. Give their mind a
turn toward the solid and nseful side Of lite
You will soon see the result in increased ac-
1 tivity of their thinking capabilities. and the
| direction of their ideas towards practical re-
| suits; and, still more obviously in the avoid.
| ance of idle mischief and nonsense (to omit
| all reference to absolute wickedness and
moral degradation) which are, to too great
an extent, the pastime of the generation
which is to succeed US.

Communicated
A Card. u.s.

To the Ladies and. Gentlemen of Los
Angeles: I congratulate you in hay
ing the opportunity Of witnessing the
acting of the Templeton combination.
Being personally acquainted with
John Templeton for thirteen years,
three of which he was business and
stage manager; afterwards partner in
the theatrical business with me,
consider him one of the best versa
tile actors in the Union, dead letter
perfect, from Uncle Sam to Richard
the Third, an honorable and courteous
gentleman, just the man you want to
take hold of your contemplated opera
house. The sisters Alice and Bella
Vane were excellent ten years ago
when new in the business-they must
be perfect now. Little Fay [ only
knew when a few weeks old; she
played her part well then, she must
be No. now, else she would not be a
Templeton. The others are certainly
good or they would not be with John
Templeton. This is company worth
patronizing. Give them rousing
houses; try to get them to locate here
among the orange groves, and you
will then always have good legitimate
amusements. Most respectfully yours,
etc., A. S. ADDS, Photographer.

Test Of Speed.

The success of California's favorite
in his great race with True Blue and
Joe Daniels has inspired renewed con-
fidence in his speed and bottom. AS
an evidence of the estimation in which
he is held, his owner, George Treat,
has authorized the publication of q
challenge to the world
Mr.. Treat will match his horse, Thad
Stevens, against any other horse, mare
or gelding in the United States or the
world race of four miles and repeat,
to rule, for $4,000. 4Htfr1
Mr.. Treat also proposes to match a
horse of his for $1,000 against $25, 900
that he will beat the best recorded
time ever made in the United States
by any running horse, to rule, from
one mile to four miles. The parties
accepting this banter can name the
race to be run.
The fastest recorded mile was made
by Alarm, q three-year-old, with SO
pounds up, at Saratoga, July Is, 1872,
in 1:42a. The fastest two miles ever
made was by True Blue, as a four
year-old, packing 108 pounds, at Sara
toga in 1873, the time being 3:324.
Norfolk has the best three-mile record.
He ran at Sacramento on September
%, 1865, as a four-year-old, carrying
100 pounds, in 5:274 and 5:293. All
horsemen will rec0llect the fastest
four-mile time. 1t was made al
New Orleans, April 2, 1855, by Lex
ington, against time. He was four
years old; and ran with 10S pounds ur
in 7:194. 4o't
1t is reported that the horses True
Blue and Weathercock, the property
of John f. Chamberlin, will leave inn
mediately for New York in charge OF
Tim Robbins, who came out with
them.-[S. +. Bulletin.
