Respect.

1t is MUCH to be regretted that there
is as little respect paid to the aged as
though they had outlived their useful
ness and were looked upon as incum
brances. Passing through g long life,
going through many visissitudes, see
ing both the sunny and shady sides OF
the worlds pathway; their adviee-so
little heeded- is the advice of experi>
ence. Yet it IS not looked upon in that
light at ALT is thought cold fogyish
it is the rising generation that is too
headstropg in being unwilling to listen
to the advice given, and in doing which
are they not showing great disrespect
The old are sighted, their pains and
inGrmities are smiled at as the smut
terings and murrings of old age. y
Their complaints are not needed
enough, because we cannot know how
much they often suffer. Many of these
aged persons have stinted themselves
of many comforts, deprived themselves
of numberless pleasures in order to
make more comforts and pleasures for
their children. Then is 1t not a cruel
shame, when these children grow up to
manhood, to have them treat their par:
ents as clogs in the road, and almost
begrudge them the food they eat the
clothes they whear and the roof that
shelter thems
1t is not SO great a number Of years
ago that the aged of the present day
were as young as many of us now are
As they worked for others ip the youth
and prime of their lives, when the au-
tumn and winter of their days have
come they should be allowed to rest
Love and respect ale their due. 1t will
not be such a great while ere we, who
are young now, will be in the declin-
ing slope Of life, when the furrows will
be on our faces, the lines in our fore
heads, and the silver hair on our heads
Shall we wish to be treated with the
same disrespect we are now bestowing
upon others who are in the same stage
of life we shall ere many years have
rolled away!

Make Chi ksn Useful

| The energy which some children
manifest in mischieyous pranks may be
made to subserve useful and instrucs,
tive purposes. Little odds and ends of
employment may be given them
work suited to their small capabilities
may be assigned thein-and under
/ judicious direction and considerate en-
couragement their little heads and
hands can accomplish much, and tina,
gladly. The bright little ones who
would shelp", mamma should not be
repealed, with harsh word, but some
simple task should be devised for their
occupation, and some triaing thing
SO very great to, them should le the
reward of its performance.
AS general rule. give your children
something to do. A daily employs
ment of some sort will exercise their
minds beautifully, and develop ele-
ments of usefulness and self reliance
which may prove incidentally valuable
to their manhood and wonanhood.
Miserable is the plea urged by some
that they shave not the time to look
after their children. No such pretext
can divest them of the. grave RESPONSE
bilities which the having of children
imposes. The laws of God and of
humanity demand Of parents the best
care and training for their children
they can bring into exercise. How
many poor wretches there are, taxing
society with their maintenance, who
owe their worthlessness and sins to the
negligence Of their parents in develop
ing and directing good natured endow-
ments for lives of industry and indie
pendence! Large Firmness in child
is good thing; it contributes to steadi
ness of thought and deed. Large Self
Esteem is desirable, in that it confers
the sense of personal worth and digni
ty. Large Appropriateness is most
serviceable in its restraining and stimu-
lating ministrations. Large Destruc-
tiveness is good heritage; under pro-
per control it contributes to activity
and achievement. T,aroa Comhatiya
ness is "a good quality; it contributes
courage, boldness, and progression to
the character. Large Acquisitiveness,
rightly trained supplements industry
with eeonomy and thrift. But such
qualities in children need the guidance
of discreet parent. Mismanagement,
neglect, easily lead to their perversion
and the ruin of lite which otherwise,
might have been splendid success.

A gentleman in New jersey having
tried the experiment last summer Of
roofing his house with the material
out Of which concrete payements are
made, was much annoyed by the
animated discussions carried on by the
cats Of the neighborhood on the top.ot
his dwelling. Finding the noise
unbearable, he assembled the garnet one
night and looked out of the trap door.
To his horror he found no fewer than
1856 cats struck fast knee deep in the
concrete, which had been softened by
the heat. Some of them had been
shere four days. The moment they
caught sight of the owner of the house
the whole 1876 doubled their spines,
ruff1ed their hair, shook their tails, and
gave one wild unearthly yell, which so
frightened him that he fell down the
step ladder on the head of his wife,
who was standing below with cande1
in her hand Both husband and wife
were seriously but not dangerously
injured.

A school teacher in umatilla county,
California, had pretty girl Of sixteen
as pupil. She entangled bis heart,
and then cruelty Tilted him. Thereupon
he sought revenge. Catching her in a
slight infraction of the rules, he swung
his birch branch aloft, and command ed
her to stand up and be whipped. She
ran out Of the the door and like q deer
across the fields toward home; but her
fieetness was of short duration, and the
angry schoolmaster's hand soon grasped
her arm. Her courage had gone with
her wind, and she offered then and
there to kiss aud make up if he wouldn't
whip her. He declined to compromise,
led her back to the school house, and
logged her until blood came through
the back of her dress. Her hour of
exultation game when she saw him

4 Novelty in Women's Dress.

Since extravaganza in stockings has
come back to US again. and silk hosiery
is almost criterion of the woman Of
fashion, of course something must be
worn to preserve these silken Injuries
from wear and soil, when walking in
a dusty and dingy city. Wool. that is
knitted may be warm, but it is not a
hindrance to the entrance of dust. 1t
rather holds than rejects the soiling,
while fine broadc1oth or velvet, that is
both linen and rubber lined, is certain
protection against water and mud.
Leggings Of these materials are made
to reach up and curve upon the knee,
and are fitted about the footlike gen
tleman's gaiter, with strap under the
foot. They button up on the outside
OF the leg, and, are carefully fitted to
the wearer by front and back seams.
They are sometimes bound on the low
er edge with, a dark fur, which gives
the foot Of chubby and youthful ap-
pearance. For spring wear they are
quite as requisite as for the winter.
With short quilted silk Or satin petit
coat and an Ulster coat of rough cloth,
they look very coquettish on cold or
stormy day. Any lady can make them
for herself.
They should be fitted like any gar
ment, and after being bound with
braid, the jet buttons and button-holes
may be added. They should be adj
justed so perfectly that a hutton-hook
would be required to fasten them over
the boot and bout the ankle.

A young lady of Bellarat, England,
about contemplating matrimony, was,
asked by her friends What kind of we'd
ding presents she you'd like, and repli-
ed that she would prefer useful to orna-
mental ones. Her wedding journey
consisting in going from the house OF
her parents to cottage in the vicinity,
and upon arriving there she found a
barrel Of -four, jar Of butter, COM
plete set Of cooking utensils, a piece OF
merino, a set of crockery ware, knives,
forks spoons and glassware, enough
household groceries to last six months
and years rent for the cottage, with
two flo notes pinned to q paper, on
which was written, ''to purchase some
thing useful" WAS not this the right
kind Of utilitarianism for young cou-
pie of limited means, about starting
upon their matrimonial career, and was
it not more beautiful than duplicate
plated fish kniyes, and other trash us
ually given upon like occasions.

William Butler is negro Justice of
the Peace in Nashville, Tenn. In a
case recently tried before him, Fanny
Taylor got verdict of six dollars for
washing bill. Justice Butler took
the money from the defendant, and re-
fused to give it to the plaintiff. His
judicial opinion is reported to have
been: "Fanny, dis money jes squares

an exception to his honors ruling, on
the ground that he was ''an old thief,
and then knocked out her front teeth
