AMERICAN MANUFACTURES.

The Philadelphia North american
publishes a long and carefully prepared
abstract of a report made to the British
Government on the textile industries of
this country, by one of the Secretaries
of the English Legation. The exhibit
reflects the greatestpossible credit upon
the country. Laying wholly aside the
compiler's evident willingness to init
mate that the tariff does not achieve all
that it processes, his testimony to the
great improvement in methods of cotton
and wooden manufacture here, his sum-
maries of increase, and indication of
of cause why that increase may be con-
tinued, together with his witness that the
method and product are both, in nUmer-
particulars, superior to the British,
are of considerable Importance. The
dominating idea of the report may be
inferred from the following quotation :
"In every important branch of indus

to be ever gaining on their competitors
of the Old World, byavailingthemselyes
to the utmost of every advantage of i'm
proved process of labor-saving ma
chinery which American or other inven-
ton may offer. There can be little
doubt that the celebrity with which all
such advantages are thought out and
then introduced into general use is ow-
ing to the constant pressure of high
rates of wages and the comparatively
certain protection of capital invested in
inventions. The great industries of
America would probably compare IA
vorably with the best organized of the
competing industries of Europe. The
past history and present development
of the textile industries is an earnest of
prolific future. Whether or not a re-
duced cost of living shall ever be at
tanned, one cannot doubt that under
sound conditions of production, America
will not only supply its home market in
most articles, but will also become a
formidable competitor in foreign mar
kets iii many articles"

Labor.

1t Is mistake to suppose that labor
Is All unpleasant condition of life. 1t
Is matter of experience that there
IS more contentment in attending to
any kind of occupation that there is
II looking for some occupation. At
tend therefore to your business. and re-
gard your business as being worthy of
all your attention. Workingmen are
apt to consider that their OCCUPATIONS
alone are laborious, but in that matter
they are mistaken. Labor of mind is
generally even more fatiguing than la
Dor Of the body, and it is quite erro-
neous to suppose that others do not
work as well as we DO, simply because
their work is different. from ours. ia
Dor is the earthly condition of man,
and until the nature of man is chang
ed, the want of something to do will
produce all the horrors of ennut.
Gambling and other reprehensible dis.
sipations are all owing to the fact that
human nature cannot support a state
Of idleness. To live without a pur-
pose is to lead very restless life.

Books.

What common thing a book ST.
Thousands and thousands have been
printed. and the cry is ''still they
come" But there was a time when
there was no such thing as a book :;
when all knowledge had to be handed
down by word of mouth or, as it is
called, coral tradition" In those
days writing had not yet been invent
ed, and consequently there was no
reading. When, at length, writing
was invented the difficulty was what to
write on. Some nations, like the an
cient Nexicans, wrote their histories on
the sides Of rocks, others, like the
Ninevites, on the walls Of their houses,
or bricks, tiles and crockery-ware
But these we're not books and so of
but little use in the diffusion of knowl-
edge. They were movable, but not
very portable. Necessity is the moth
er Of invention, and 50 various expedi-
ems were soon resorted. The leaves of
plants, the skins of animals, the. barks
Of trees all were used by man in the
the endeavor to communicate his ideas
to his fellowmen. In our modern
books, so plentiful, and 50 cheap, all
these expedients of hard pushed ances-
tors have left their trace. They are
composed of leaves, showing their veg
etable origin, and the material of those
leaves is called paper, from the plant
Papyrus, on the leaves Of which the
Egyptians wrote. The Romans rolled
up a number of skins to write upon,
and called a volumen, which is the
Laten for roll, whence We call a book
a s'volume. Lastly, our Saxon fore
fathers used the barks OF trees to write
on, and especially the bark Of the
beech tree. This bark they called
'boc, " fro1n which is derived our pres
ent word ''book." Ten thousand
copies of a book can now be printed
in six days: single copy OF which,
before the invention Of printing would
have taken six months tr write out.

Babies.

For the benefit Of our bachelor
friends, We clip the following beautiful
paragraph, on a baby:
''Did YOU ever watch baby wax
ing from its morning nap? 1t is one of
the prettiest sights in the world
There is the crib, with its small prep
arations and 8now-white drapery that
covers something outlined round and
plump. There Is nothing to reveal
what it is, not the slightest movement
of the pillowed whiteness that IS visl-
ble, no sound to indicate keenest actu-
al life, until the hour hand ofthe clock
that stands sentinel, like yourself, has
twice made its circuit. Then there is
slight pulling in the white draYery,
a small pink, tremulous hand, fair IS 9
rosebud, is thrust out, and from the
nest thus broken into appears small
diminutive face, with wide open eyes
that have not much speculation in

to stare. and become questioning. Sc
rioug, as if wondering what kind Of a
world it is they open upon, and the
head lifts itself just a little, and two

Seeing a Point.

\ boy returned from school one day
with the report that his scholarship
had fallen below the usual average.
sWell, said the father, you've fall
en- behind this month, have you?"
Yes, sir" "How does that happen -
The father knew, if the son did not.
He had observed a number of cheap
novels scattered about the house, but
he had not thought it worth while to
say anything about it until fitting
opportunity should offer itself. A
basket Of apples stood upon the floor,
and he said : Empty those apples,
and take the basket aud bring it TO me
half full of chips. And now, he con-
tinued, put those apples back into
the basket" Wnen half the apples
were replaced, the son said Father,

Mortality Among Drinkers.

According to the researches of the
British General Life office, the liability
to deaths of drinkers between the age
of twenty-one and forty years is ten
times as great as among temperate per-
sons; between forty-one and sixty,
four times as great; and beyond sixty
twice as great.
In England, in the years 1880 and
1859 more than one hundred deaths
from intemperannce were recorded. 1t
is estimated that out of one thousand
habitual topers, five hundred and
eighty-four die annually; while out OF
one thousand persons not addicted to
the use of intoxicating beverages, only
nineteen die annually.
Then the mortality among drinkers
is three times as great as among the
community at large.
In the years of 1851 and so statis-
tics showed that one hundred and nine
ty-two men and f3rty-four women in
every thousand inhabitants in England
and Wales are Incorporate. From the
proceeding statement, it would seem
that intemperance is but a slow and
certain form of committing suicide.

Be q HAN.

What a noble thing it is to be man
The world is full Of counterfeits. 1t
is a grand thing to stand upright in de-
fence of truth and principle, When
persecution comes, some hide their
faces until the storm passes by, others
can be bought for mess of pottage.
From such turn away. Stand by a
friend. Show thyself man. Do not
run away when danger threatens to
overwhelm bin or you.
Think for yourself. Read books
and read mems faces. Remember the
eye is the window of the soul Use
yur eyes and hold your tongue when
men court fayors
Select some calling to make it honor
liable When you have espoused a
cause maintain it at all hazards. Make
up your mind to succeed by honorable
means and good will brush the diff
culties away one at a time
If opposition comes, meet it manful-
ly. If success crowns you refforts,
bear it quietly. Hasten not into a
quarrel, bat when you are compelled
to accept an alteration, stand up and
show yourself full grown man. Do
your own thinking, keep your own Sc
crets {; worship no man for his wealth
or illustrious lineage. Fine feathers
do not always make fine birds
Do not live for yourself alone. The
world needs reformers as much to-day
as ever. If you have a new idea de-
velop it into words and deeds. Be So
ber; be honest; be true. Policy men
are dangerous-They will sell you for
money, or popularity don't trust
them. Wear but one face, and let
that be an honest one.

About Idleness.

Many young people think an idle life
must be pleasant one; but there are
none who enjoy it so little, and are
such burdens to themselves, as those
who have nothing TO do Those who
are obliged to work hard all day enjoy
the short periods of rest and recreation
50 much that they arc apt to think that
if their whole lite were spent in rest
and recreation it would be the most
pleasant of all But this is sad mis-
take, as they would soon find out if
they made trial Of the life they think
SO agreeable. One who is never busy
can never enjoy rest, for rest implies a
relief from previous labora; and if our
whole time were spent in amusing our
selves we should find it more weari-
some than the hardest days work.
Recreation is only valuable as it un-
bends US; the idle can know nothing
of it. Many people leave off business
and settle down to life Of enjoyment
but they generally find they are not
nearly so happy as they were before,
and they are often glad to return to
occupations to escape the miseries Of
Incidence.
