KEEP YOUR TROUBLES SACRED.

y wife of forty, whose life cannoEh

advice to other married pairs: Pre-
serve secretly the privacies of your
house, your married state and your
heart. Let no father or mother, sister
or brother. or any third person, even to
presume to come in between you two.
or to share the joysand sorrows that be-
long to you alone, to you two. With
Gods help Guild your own quiet worlI,
not allowing your dearest earthly friend
to be the confidant of aught that con-
cerns your domestic peace. Let mo-
ments OF alienation, if they occur, be
healed at once. Never, no never. speak
Of it outside, but to each other confess.
aud all will come out right. Never let
tue morrrw's sun still find you at yari-

And thereby your souls will grow to-

Teacher" had given his method OF sup
pressing this almost necessary evil, " but
as he did not, would it not lie very
good idea if some of the teachers of our
. county would give, through the ''Edu-
cational Column, 'the methods they have
pursued, and the success attendant upon
their efforts in this direction.
1t is question that is frequently asked
10y our County Examiners, and, think,
wOnid not suffer by being handled, but
would be beneficial to a number of teach
ers. Although have had some expert
ence il teaching, and have tried few
plans, yet the results have not been as
satisfactory as l could desire, and would,
therefore, be glad to hear from the pro-
fession generally upon the subject.

tain some very good advice, especially
where lie advises them to "do right and
be ratural, and to''assume nothing but
what you really are" l have known
some teachers, and one in particular,
whom | have in my mind, although he
had very good system in his teaching, yet
upon the street, and when speaking upon
any subject. his manner was so uunatur-
al and affected as to disgust those who
heard him. ''Assume nothing but what
you really are" Do not attempt to Gre
ate an Impression that you have vast
amount of learning, for your labor and
success in the school room will show how
much you know, and if your abilities are
not equal to the Pretentions you have
made, y1u may be brought to grief. 1t
would be far better to frankly acknowl-
edge those things you do not know than
10 pretend to know them and be in dan
ger of having your ignorance exposed

ORIGIN OF NAMES 1t is interesting
to trace surnames back to their original
meaning. The name of Latimer is a
writer of Latin; Barker is synonymous
with tanner; Miner is an old form of
miller; Lander is a contraction of law
ander, Il washer woman; Banister is
the keeper of bath; Tupman- a name
familiar TO the readers of the ''Piekwick
Papers a breeder of rams,
which used to be called ..tups.' The
names Spinner, Fuller, Tucker, and
Dyer. are derived from the wool manu-
faeture carried on by French colonists,
who settled in New England Asa gen
eraI rule, says Mr. Lower, all names
terminating with er, indicate some EN-
ployment or profession; er is believed to
come from the Anglo Saxon wer, man;
hence Safer i SaltmaD, Miller mill
man: Webster is the old feminine form
of yrebber, Spinster of spinner, Brew
ster Of brewer

A MASSACHUSETTS lady writes: This
morning early, as sat by my open win
dow looking down upon the busy street,
saw a woman butcher jump from her
wagon and take a piece of eorned beef
round to the side door of the residence
across the way. How neat and tidy she
looked, with dark calico dress, blue
checked apron and white over sleeves
which came to her elbow, with a brown
hat and red scarf tied carelessly about
her neck. Soon she came out, jumped
briskly into the wagon. took up the lines,
at the same time putting her foot upon
the brake, for it was down grade, ana
drove off like any other butcher.

A SINGULER CRIME.-A letter from
Sidney, New South Wales, to the San
Francisco ALtd, says: "a remarkable
case, tried in the Sidney criminal session,
resulted in the conviction of Mr. NJ Mae
quarrie, a ship builder, and Mr.. Bridge,
his foreman, for new crime, worthy of
being rewarded with seven years in a
chain gang. 1t appears that Macquarrie,
head and ears in debt, gave bill of sale
of steam launch to his bankers, who
placed a clerk in possession on day Mac
quarrie was giving some friends trip in
her. The bank allowed the trip to take
place, their officer accompanying it, On
returning at night, Macquarrie and
Bridge, after endeavoring to obtain for
chile possession of the steamer, made the
engineer pile on the fires, take off the
side lights, jump ashore, and east the
bank clerk adrift, under a full head of
steam, in "a crowded part of the harbor.
fortunately. lie knew something about
steering, and after dashing round the
shipping for an hour, his cries for help
brought an engineer alongside, who raked
out the fires, and swears that had the
solitary voyager let any water into the
boiler, it would have burst instantly
The perpetrators of this offense got off
with three months each"

SHUT THE DOOR.

The night is cold; the fierce winds blew:
Dark clouds the heavens hide.
The air is white with drifting snow;
The cruel f-pst king reigns outside
lis miniOns roar;
Oh, shut the door.
Within, the fire burns warm and bright
And light dispels all thought Of ciaom
The lowered curtains hide fhe night:
Luxurious comfort fills the room,
And ease floats DER;
Then shut the door.
Within, the so, ial harp, sweet-toned,
No discOrd yields no players fail;
There be luty reigns, and wit is crowned,
And virtues pure, unspOtted veil
Is each throw DER.
Then shut the door.
For just without they shivering stand
The wretched, freezing, STEPPED in sin
Begging for warmth-some kindly hand
To open the door and let them in.
But no; still more
Wen shut the door.
The fierce wind must not enter here,
And virtue must not meet with sin:
These tender frames no cold can bear,
And white robes black when sin cOiheS in.
FOreyermore,
Then, shut the door.
Yes, shut the door; the cold, the storm,
The sin, the misery shut out,
Though many frozen, lifeless form
At morn our doors will lie about.
The winds still roar,
Shut fast the door.

SIHPLiFYING THE POSTAL BUSINESS.

The postal system of the United States
Is unnecessarily complicated, requiring
more clerks, more officials ofevery class,
besides being needlessIy troublesome
and vexatious TO the people, who often
lind that they have unintentionally vio-
lated some of the regulations, and their
letters are detained, or. if sent, charged
additional postage. Mr. Wick, in the
current number of his Floral Guide.
suggests practical and sensible remedy
for this evil, which we heartily approve.
We quote:
We propose plan that, if adopted,
will simplify the work of the Depart
ment, and cause rejoicing in every Post
Office in the land. We believe, also, it
will make the Postal Department self
sustaining We would be quite willing
to contract to do the work for the reve-
nue.. AbOtish all class distinction IN
mail matter. Charge one or two cents
for the first ounce, and half-a- cent an
ounce for all over one ounce up to a GER
tain weight, regardless of what the pack
age may contain The Postmaster will
then only have to see that the postage
corresponds with the weight No scru-
tiny will be required-no peeping-no
complaints of unfair charges The only
exception to this rule should be papers
prepaid at the Office of publication.
This should not be granted as a favor,
for we do not believe in favoritism, but
IN purely business way. Papers are
the largest and most regular customers
of the Government, and therefore enti-
tied to special rates. With proper ar
rangements as to the size of packages,
We see no reason why the postal work
should not be made very simple for the
Postmasters, very profitable for the
Government, and beneficial to the peo-
pie. We do not claim to be wise above
measure, nor to be wiser than some of
those engaged in the postal service, but
we do claim to know little about bust
ness, and to possess a small share of that
quite uncommon article, common-sense,
and We think the application of little
of that kind of sense would sweep away
a good many of the complications that
now embarrass the postal service, and
make a batch of mysterious rulings,
that appear every month to plague our
Postmasters, altogether unnecessary.
Every business man desires to simplify
his business as much as possible, for
without simplicity there can be no uni
forniity of success. Governments are
apt to attach too much Importance to
red tape, and a government office is too
often Circumlocutioa Office, where the
great aim seems to be how not to do
things-or lrow to do them in tile most
roundabout way"
