Patience.

This is a grievOus lesson to learn, so
natural is it to be impatient, so uunatu>
raj to acquire the habit of self command.
Any triaing unpleasant circumstance
causes US to lose our balance of mind.
and unless everything goes exactly right,
we begin to fret and complain. If things
90 not 60 exactly right just as you
would have them, take them as they are !;
we should learn to submit and humble
ourselves, and endeavor to palliate and
not aggrayate the evils that come in our
way.
You are insulted, perhaps jeered at,
and reviled, but what of that, have not
thousands better than yourself, been
abused in the same manner, and have
borne it without thought of resentment /?
If anything hes happened to disturb the
peacefulness of your mind, watch your
lips, guard your temper, look well to
your way, permit nothing pnruly to es>
cape your lips.
Impatienee will only make your misery
keener, while It's opposite quality pas
tienee, will conquer every obstacle, that
attempts to put itself in your path. Like
the sun, it will gid the dampest, and
heaviest clouds with glorious hues.

VOL. XI.-NO. 5
Dignity and Labor.

Much has been said of the dignity of
labor, but still its dignity is not much
sought after now, But few care to avail
themselves of it. Most are desirous of
avoiding it. Yet we all know that labor
is the inescapable destiny of the great
mass of mankind the wide world over.
and ever has been, and for aught we can
see, ever will be. Life depends upon it. 1t
is also the price of health, virtue and
happiness, It brings all the blessings,
that we lave, or that are possible to us in
life. But there are multitudes of shirks
who seek to avoid it by all possible
means. They viii beg, commit crime,
violate all moral laws, outrage decency,
sell their bodies and souls to the devil,
and live in danger of all the penalties of
the law here, and of tophet hereafter,
rather than do good, honest, productive
work. They seem to be constitutionally
lady>bOrn parasites, drones in the social
hive.
Another, and perhaps larger class,
deem labor derogatory to the dignity of
lady or gentleman. They are a sort of
born nobility most of them have hands
but they have no use for them So far
as labor is concerned they might have
had cats paws or seals fippers.
"She works for living would be
statement that would be more objection
able to Woman's reputation than an ac.
cusation of unchastity. She is a works
ing girl" is statement that has ban
ished many a noble woman from what
is called genteel society. Work is not
dignifed, Honest industry is not COM
mendable. Yet old blind Ho mer tells of
princesses who used to draw water from
the springs with their own hands, and
wash the finest liner of their own famis
lies,
The wife of George the Third of Eng
land has been represented as spending a
whole evening hemming pocket.handker-
chiefs, while the daughter of Mary sat in
the corner darning stockings. But these
were ungentesl people, unused to good
society.
But why should an American woman
be afraid of putting her hand to work ?
To be able to earn ones own living
should be the prOudest accomplishment
of an American male or female. But to
feel dependent upon some one else all
life long is mean, degrading and con,
temptible
Young man, young woman, learn to
use your own hands skillfully, and your
own brain freely, and you will be indeN
pendent, happy and noble. If you can't |
work you are to be pitied; if you won't,
you are TO be despised, for you are mere
soaks and human sponges. Ornaments
you may deem yourselves, but expensive
and useless ones you are. Life can have
nc meaning without some noble, earnest
work of hand, or head, or heart. We
have human dolls and manakins enough.
Living, earnest individuals, men and
women, are always in demand.
Young man, defend the dignity of labor
by doing noble work. Young woman,
don't scorn labor, but ennoble it by your
for the true woman "Iooketh
well to the ways eff her household, and
sateth not the bread of idleness. -

What to do in case of Accident.

Prof Wilder, of Cornell University,
gives these short rules for action in case
of accident 1t would not be bad thing
to cut them out and carry them in ones
pocketbook, or commit them to memory
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing
das h cold water in them; remove Gins
ders, ETC., with tho round point of lead
pencil
Remove insects from the ear by tepid
water. Never put a hard instrument
into the ear.
If an artery is cut compress it above
the wound; if a vein is cut compress it
below.
If chOked, 60 upon all fours and
cough.
For slight burns, dip the part in cold

Lefferson's Grave.

One of the most marked instances Of
National heanness on record, is in the
faot that the people of the United States,
while proposing to celebrate the centenS
NAL of the Declaration of Independence,
leave the grave of its author in ruinOus
desolation A Cleveland Herald corres-
pondent writes 1.-THE gates have been
broken down, the horizontal slabs over
the graves Of his wife and daughter are
gone, and the small obelisk to Jefferson
is so defaced and ,brokeu that it
is but shapeless block, where even the
name can no longer be traced. OrIgi~
nally the inscription was as follows:
Here lies buried Thomas Jefferson,
Author of the Declaration lof Independ-
ence, Of the Statute of Virginia for Re-
ligious Freedom, and Father of the UniS
versity of Virginia" That the grave
and dwelling of Thomas jefferson should
remain in this desolation, is not only
striking evidence of the ingratitude OF
republics, but is shameful reproach to
the University of Virginia, aud stigma
upon the people of the United States.
They should blush to read his sublime
words before the assembled nations at
Philadelphia on the Fourth of July, 1876,
when his grave and dwelling place Is 10
ruinous desolation from the neglect OF
an unthankful posterity.

The Painesville and youngstown Mar
row Gauge railroad in Ohio, is nearly
completed to the latter place, and has al>
ready began transporting coal to its
northern terminus at Fairport, on Lake
Erie. 1t viii soon be in operation and
the test it viii afford of the relative econ
omy Of tho three-seet and ordinary
gauges will be watched with interest.
The line is about sixty miles long, and
runs nearly a little west Of north from
youngstown to the lake. 1t will have in
the coal traffic the active competition Of
three roads Of the usual gauge Of five
feet. According to the claims Of its off,
GERS the advantage Of the narrow-gsuge
is tn at on a car only weighing four tons
it can carry eight tons Of coal, while the
FIVE feet gauge roads transport ten tons
on a car weighing ten. Thus the mar
row gauge gets pay for four tons as
freight on each ear which its competitors
must haul for nothing in tie shape of
rolling stock. The cost Of building the
line was about $4,000, probably shout
one,fourth less than a wide gauge road
would have cost There Is not much
saving IN operating expenses, as 1t takes
Just as many hands to run narrow
gauge road as It does a vide one. Con-
siderable saving is effected, however, in
the equipment. As passenger road
the line answers all the requirements Of
the country it traverses. Its cars are
comfortable, and as soon as the road>bed
becomes firm the trains Will run with as
much steadiness as Oh other roads.

emile de Girardin saws Bismarck is il

Emile de Girardin says Bismarck is in
a bad fix, and wants another big war, so
as to divide up and get d big shee Of
Europe. Now he thinks it much better
for France to join hands with the power
full Chancellor, in order to share the
spoils, than to be cut AMI eaten up BY
him. he therefore advises France to
give up all hope of getting back Alsaee
and Lorraine, and to become thoroughly
reconciIed with Germany, as Austria be-
came with Italy after the latter recap
tured Lgmbardy and Venice.

ANGRY WORDS.

Angry words o, let them never
From the tongue unbridled slip;
May the hearts best impulse ever
Check them ere they soil the lip.
Love is much too pure and holy;
Friendship is too sacred far,
For a moments reckless folly
Thus to desolate and mar.
Angry W ords are lightly spoken;
Bitterest thoughts are lightly stirred;
Brightest links of life are broken
By single angry word.
