D0N'T---PRAY DON'T.

Don't tell the little one, who NAV be
slightly willful, that s'the black man VIII
come out OF the cellar and carry il off if
it does not mind" Don't create need
less fear to go with the child through
all the stages of it's existence.
Don't tell the little FIVE year-old jim
my the school-nla am viii cut off his
ears, pull out his teeth tie him up
or any Of the horrible stories that are
commonly presented to the childish i'm
agination. Think you the little one will
believe anything you tell him after he
becomes acquainted with the gentle
teacher who has not the least idea of
putting those terrible threats into ex-
ecution?
Don't tell the children they must not
drink tea because it viii make them
black, while you continue the use OF it
olaIly. Your example is more to them
than precept; and while your face is as
fair as June morning they will scarce
ly credit the oft-told tale Either give
up drinking the PLEASANT beverage or
give your children better reason for it's
non-use.
Don't tell them they must not eat
sugar OF sweetmeats because it will rot
their teeth. Pure sugur does not cause
the teeth to decay, and sugar with fruits
is nutritious and healthy not withstand
ing the 'old saw to the contrary. The
case Of city children is often cited, the
cause of their pale faces and slight con
stitutions being charged to an over
amount of sweetmeats with their diet
when the actual cause is the want Of
pure air and proper exercise.
Don't tell the sick one that the medi-
cine is not bad to take, when you can
hardly keep your own stomach from
turning inside out at the smell of 1t.
Better by fan tell him the simple truth
that it is disagreeable. but necessary for
his health, and you desire him to take it
at once. Ten to one he viii swallow it
with half the trouble OF coaxing and
gorry of words, and love you better for
your firm, decided manner.
Don't teach the children by example
to tell white lies to each other and to
their neighbors. Guard lips and bride
tongue If you desire to have the coming
generation truthful. Truthfnlness is
one Of the foundation stones of heaven.
Remember the old, old book says, mo
liar shall enter within the gates Of the
beautiful city There is no distinction
between white lies and those of dark
er hue. A falsehood is an untruth
whether the matter be great or small

SINGULAR WILL CASE. II j. Miliken,
one Of the wealthiest merchants in Sac
ramento, took for a second wife q young
octroon. She was very pretty, well ed
ucated, and her African blood was bare
~ perceptible. The marriage was dis
favored by the children of the first wife,
who would have no acquaintance with
their step-mother. A short time ago
Miliken died. Having made no will,
the octoroon wife could only claim q
wife's usual of the property. The estate
was worth about a million dollars. The
children are contesting her right to any
thing, basing their suit on the fact OF
Mrs. Miliken being part negro, the Cal
ifornia law declaring that call marriages
between white persons and negroes Or
mulattoes are illegal and void" The
evidence shows that during the years of
Mr.. Mihken's welded life with his Sc
cond wife she was received into good So
ciety, although her faint of blood was
well known, and that his affection and
respect for her was sincere The defence
is that the law particularly designates
negroes and mulattoes" as ineligible
for marriage with white persons, and
thathe wife in this instance was neither.
being only one eighth negro. A decis-
ion has not been reached.

THE TRIBUNE.
ABOUT PRINTERS.

wish I was a printer.
Ireally do, indeed!
1t seems to me that printers
Get every thing they need
Except money
They get.the largest and the best
Of every thing that grows,
And free into circuses
And other kind of shows
(By paying an equivalent
The biggest bug.will speak to them,
No matter how they dress,
A shabby coat is nothing,
II they own printing press.
POLICY
At ladies' fairs THERE almost Rugged
By pretty girls, who know
That they will praise up every thing
The ladies have to show.
Ghat'S SOY
And thus they get a blow out free
At every party feed.
And the reason is, because they write,
And other people read,
Chats what's the matter.)

her soft mantle over Huntington, seat

Still she replied not, but evident

"Pll not drink or chew and will

No response, but little more

This last sentence brought her to
her senses, as the word diamond

she planted her frizzes upon his
shoulder and gasped like young

suffering in this manner, for a few
seconds, she plaintively exclaimed:

And there they sat. She thinking
of the diamond ring, and he, how in
