Common Sense and Pretty Women.

There is a chilly, disagreeable kiud OF ar.
ticle, called common-sense, which is Of all
things most repulsivo and anti.pathetical to
all petted creatures whose life has con-
sisted in Hattory. II is the kind Of talk
which sisters are very apt to hear from
brothers, and daughters from fathers and
mothers, when fathers and mothers do their
duty by them which sets the world before
them as il is, and not as it is painted by fat.

Of gentlemen, and who have the faculty Of
bewitching their senses, never are in the
way Of hearing from this cold matter-of.

ist Every phrase that meets their ear is
polished and soitened, guarded aud delicately
turned, till there is not particle OF homcly
truth left in it. They pass their time in q
world of illusions they demand these iIlu-
sions Of all who approach them, as the sole
condition Of peace and favor. All gentl-
men, by sort of instinct, recognize the
woman who lives by dattery, aud give her
her portion of meat in due season and thus

Rich Without Money.

Many a man is rich without money. Thou.
sands of men with nothing in their pockets,
and thousands even without pocket, are
rich. A man born with good, sound con-
stitution, good stomach, good heart and
good limbs, and pretty good head piece, is
rich. Good bones are better than gold,
tough muscles than silver, and nerves that
fash fire and carry energy to every function
are better than houses AMI lands. 1t is better
than landed estate to have had the right
kind Of father aud mother. Good breeds
and bad breeds exist among men as really
as among herds and horses. Education may
do much good to check evil tendencies or to
develop good ones, but it is great thing
to inherit the right proportion of faculties to
begin with. The man is rich who hasa good
disposition, who is naturally kind, patient,
cheerful, hopeful, and one has a favor of
wit aud fun in his composition. The hard.
est thing to get along with in this life is a
mans own SELF A cross, selfish fellow, q
timid care burdened mau-these are a
born deformcd on the inside. Their feel
may not limp, but their thoughts do.

A Minister Who Couldn't stand the Test.

Lake Erie many years ago upon one Of the

wheel steering the boat, accosted him as fol-

steer so large boat"

"Well, really, you do ii Lot me hear

Boy boxes it backward.

"Yes." ..t.I
"Say it,"
Clergyman repeats the prayer.
"Well, really, you do know it, Now say

Clergyman says he cannot do it. al
"You cannot do it, ehP Now you see |

than you do you do yours"
The clergyman acknowledged himself

Health and Happiness,

There are great many wrong notions 10
the world, and everybody has imbibed some
OF them. All have prescriptions for who
ever complains. Some take this or that
nostrum others lay all unhappiness to the
heart or conscience, while the scat Of trou.
bic is the stomach or liver. And 1t will be
80 as long as the world stands, unless a re-.
form be made in our habits. In the 6rst
place, mans house should be the most
healthiul, quiet, restful spot on earth to
him. The religion Of mans life should
begin here 6nd its spring aud nurture
here. All the churches aud meetings under
the sun cannot do or undo what his home
does. When he enters there, aud shuts
the door behind him, he should feol that the
cares, duties, business, noise, smells, aud
everything else Of the outside world are shut
out. Here are relaxation aud rest. He
throws off his formal life as he throws of
bis coat. When he sleeps, he should do il,
as going into the land Of forgetfulness, to
come back refreshed and new. When he
eats, it is TO be nourished the old wastes
made up by new supplies When he reads
or chats with his family, it should be as he
would sit down in an orchard 10 enjoy its
fruits, or in flower garden to be delighted
and soothed by its beauty and fragrances
Home should be the clus, library, picture
gallery, and sanctuary. But these are ma
terial arrangements connected with our so
eial life and not least among them are
cooking and breathing. Poor or partially
cooked food will drive health out Of the
body, and happiness out Of the heart ant
bad or no ventilation will ruin the peace Of
any house. One of the best aud greatest

impregnated with a stencil deadly TO those

1t is beyond the power Of rational beings
to comprehend the depth of debasement Of
the obnoxious character-vampires. What

are forever and eternally protruding their

For Horace Peck, Passumpsic, VII
Through this world Of sin wander,
Sick Of life and all its cares
Yet my hinty heart grows tender,
When think Of mothers prayers.
Aye see her now so meekly,
After her days work Is done,
kneeling with her eyes toward heaven,
Pleading for her Maynard son.
But hear her prayers no longsri
Her LIES work is over now,
And a crown Of gold is shining
ON her fair aud sanity brow.
Sometimes when in sin wander,
can feel her presence near.
Can 1t be my angel mother
Ger my sin sheds many a tear
will leave my sinful pleasures,
Cast on Jesus all my care,
And when death shall call mo thither
1 will meet my mother there.
