This brings me to speak of this new

A woman's safeguard is to keep a mans

He may not like it at the time, but he
will like you tenfold more. Men will
be, and do, just what the women allow
them to. Men will not do to trust.
Give man your ATM aud you will
find him very confidential and he will
take a great many privileges he would
not take, il he was not permitted to do
SO. He will give your arm many affec-

could have no opportunity of doing,
and the opportunity is just what he is
after. A few words more of advice,
and close. Keep your girls off the
square only when they have business.
Teach them that it is unnecessary to go
to the postoffice every time they go out.
Your girls can walk alone just as well
as your boys. Don't allow your girls,

A Chinese Revival Meeting.
Effect of the , P.T,essehing of the Ev"nge

Effect OF the Preaching Of the Evange-
Hat hammond
The sensation of the day was meet
ing gotten MP by Wah 10y, a converted
Chinaman. It was held on the corner
of [ and Third streets. Wah 10y man
aged, at half past one o'clock, 10 get
together some 200 of his countrymen.
He had about him six Chinese who have
been Christianized. These were pro-
vided with singing books, while on
blank wall were hung a number of slips
of white cloth, on which various songs
were steuciled. 10y stood in trout of
these, and with long wooden pointer
pointed out the words, emphasizing the
syllables and the music at the same
time. The singing by the Cinnamon
was creditable, better than we had any
reason to expect. Early in the evening
a number of ladies came up and aided
in the singing, and subsequently the 80
or go white men in the crowd Joined in
the choruses. After considerable sing
ing, Rev. Mr.. Hough addressed the
Chinese assembled, Wah 10y interpret
ing sentence by sentence.
IS When Jesus was here in the
world"

"Say lung yet che cboy ching buy

"You are all seeking for happiness,
but you are not happy"
Ling ty Sc ing you moy chawing

You seek for happiness, but do not
find it.
"Ayng how u sing chong lee set sing
coy ing geo."
& Jesus shows us the way to true
happiness"
lying low mnsing leying toy set

In this manner the exhortation pro-
eeeded. The Chinese above given, if
not thoroughly Ineligible to the civil
IL I'd reader, can be sifted by the nearest
Chinese laundrymar, our report being
special and accurate and in the purest
tone of the poetical tongue of the
fowery kingdom.
Wah Icy now took the stand and
preached to the Chinese for twenty min
utes, in what appeared to be an earnest
and eloquent manner, If eloquencs has
a place in Chinese culture.
More singing followed, and Mr.. Ham
mond having meanwhile arrived, was
placed in buggy, and Wah 10y mount
ing beside him, the Evangelist preached
to the Cinnamon, the interpreter, SEN
tence by sentence, translating for him.
The Chinese gave good attention, and
nearly all wore smiling faces. It was a
great curiosity to them. Said one:

They know they get the article and pay

MUM and percentage they are paying

age farmer may raise meat enough to
do him till the LIST of April. By that
time he has to buy +; but having no
cash, though go0d credit, he goes to
the store and buys bacon at 10 cents
per pound, payable LIST of November
following. He learns the cash price is
122 cents per pound, but necessity COM
pels him to buy on credit. He thus

this and live What is applicable to
bacon is equally so to corn, hay, -four,

agricultural wealth in any southern

states have Travelled the other road, and

and there is no more potent cause for
this condition of things than that of
buying on a credit the necessaries of
life to enable them to grow cotton, and
this, too, very frequently at a cost that
exceeds its market value. There is an
infatuatiOn about this cultivation of
cotton that amounts to an hallucination-

may be essential in matters of law. So
the four Judges ''granted q rule" on

Some of the judges inclined to the be-
lief that this handy man who worked at

Anonymous BenefactiOns.

One secret was well kept for long
time, even in London. The secret was
Who was the anonymous donor of those
sums of 81, 600, who from time to time
gladdened the hearts of the managers
of deserving charities. 1t was general
ly observed that the initials given were
those of the charity which was benefit
ted, although that was not always the
case. Conjecture was rife as to who
could be the giver. Wealthy he must
be, for the sum total of all these dona-
tions amounted to figure considerable
enough to be in itself a fortune that
he was benevolent was equally certain
from the fact of his donations; and
that he gave without any desire for re-
turn IN the way of personal distinction
was evident from the pains that he took
to keep himself hidden-pains greater
than those which some spend in making
themselves known. But the secret is
DOW revealed. The death Of Mr.. Benja-
min Atwood, of chestnut, drew back
the vail of concealment. He had the
satisfaction of seeing that some good
was done with the money which he gave.
He has given away upward of 9375, 00O
Nor has he been neglectful of those who
had claims of relations for among
those more or less closely connected
with him he has distributed nearly
million sterling. The money thus
charitably employed consisted partly of
Mr.. Attwood's private fortune aud part
~ of that bequeathed 10 him some years
ago by the late Matthias Wolverly Att
wood, NJ. p. Mr.. Atwood had reached
the age of eighty years, was unmarried,
and lived very quietly, though so rich.
His luxury was that of doing good
quietly, and we have no doubt it was
one he thoroughly enjoyed. Each man
has his own mode of enjoyment, and
there are many who share in Mr.. Att
woods benevolent feelings, though few
have such ample means of gratifying
them. The world is better for such
persons; would there were even more

Dreadful Picture Orthe Persian Famine.


Statistics will show far more forcibly
than could any exercise of the magma
ton how bitter we're the sufferings of
the Persians while the lord of all that
fair land of Ivan was spending untold
gold in his visit to Europe. Hardly
had DIR. Bellew and his English fellow
travellers who have told the story left
Afghanistan than the signs of the long
three years of famine were seen on every
hand. Everywhere were deserted houses
upon which the curse had laid its ma
lignaut hand. The green and beauti-
fully foliated trees, the vineyards and
orchards, stood in stark contrast to the
misery that reigned around. The high
roads were insecure, for the Turcomans
had everywhere resumed their old habits
of plupdering, robbing, and murder
ing. Mesckid, out of a population of
As. 500, had lost 20, 900 Inhabitants, who,
without Offering the slightest resistance,
had been marched off TO slavery in
Khiva and Bokhara, or had persisted of
hunger. In such numbers did the
starving wretches allow themselves to
be led to chains for the sake of food,
that the gates of the city had to be
locked to keep any of the inhabitants in
the city. We give a few of the most
fearful examples of misery. Only four
families remain in Mahiabad. Out of
400 in Ghibk, only $50 inhabitants are
left. In Kun numbers of families
strayed away to look for food where, in
deed, none was to be had. The sur
vivors were too feeble to bury the dead,
who, exposed, added pestilence to fam
inc. In Damghan, photographic station
east OF Teheran, only 200 families re-
main out of l. 900, and in Teheran itself
200 persons persisted weekly of starva-
ton and typhus. The district of Tur-
bet HardaTl lost 10000; the district of

How TO KILL AN ANIMAL WITHOUT
SUFFERING. Many persons would be
glad to know how to kill sn animal
without suffering, and we venture TO
give the benefit of our experience. We
are constantly called upon TO destroy
horses, dogs and cats, and have little
difficulty in doing it For horses we
use large sponge, say six inches in
diameter, thoroughly saturated with
chIoroform, which Is dropped into a
bag large enough to be drawn over the
horses nose. 1t is not desirable to
have the bag 'air-tight; for, if so,
suffocation is likely TO ensue. In two
or three minutes the horse is uneon-
scious, and IN eight or ten minutes
dead, without suffering. For dogs and
cats a similar process, using a small
sponge and bag or these animals, with
the saturated sponge. may be put in a
box admitting some air, when they coon
