Golden Words.

The habit Of looking on. the bright side
is invaluable. Men and women who are
evermore reckoning up what they want
rather than what they have--counting
the difficulties in the way, instead of con.
triving means to overcome them-are al
most certain to live on corn bread, fat
pork and salt fish, and sink to unmarked
graves. The world is sure to smile upon
man who seems to be successful, but let
him 60 about with crestfallen air, and
the very dogs in the street will set upon
him. We must all have losses. Late
frost will nip the fruit in the bud, banks
will break, investments will prove WORTH
less. valuable horses will die and china
vases will break, but oil these calamities
do not come together. The wise course
to pursue, when one plan falls, is to form
another; when one prop is knocked from
under us, to fill its place with a substi.
tute, and evermore count what is left
rather than what is taken. When the
final reckoning is made, if it appears that
We have not lost the consciousness Of our
internal rectitude; if we have kept
charity toward all men; if by the vari-
GUS discipline of life, we have been freed
from follies and confirmed in virtues,
whatever we have lost, the great balance
sheet will be in our favor

thick, cream-like substance, which eftectual-

He mentions = case whers q child fell back

Her agonies were indesoribable, but her cloth

times day, the oil dressing renewed, and
the little patient rapidly recovered.
Though all the scalded skin came OF. she

A French Solomon to His Son.
fParis Chiavari.1


Women love but once-shun that once.
Women hate in proportion to their
love.
Most women retain their VIRTUE, but
many like to risk it.
Not all women lie, but no woman ever
tells the whole truth.
Hatred is at the bottom of love, as
death is as the bottom Of life.
One always thinks he is in love when
going up stairs; coming down he is not
so sure of it.
You cannot impede a, woman in her
love; you cannot recall the arrow shot
into space.
A woman is fortress which can al.
ways be taken by him who knows how
to make the assault.
Mans vanity is irritated by defeat and
consoled with rupture. Woman s
vanity acts in an inverse sense.
Ask not a woman's heart; she has
but one and may give it. OF all fatal
presents woman's heart is the most
deadly.
Do not love a romantic woman. She
will make all ideal Of you which you can
not realize, and which it will grieve you
to DESTROY.

Salt and Cabbage.

A Now Jersey gardner considers salt
necessary to the development of cabbage,
especially in places far from the coast.
He finds them more crisp,of better flavor,
and to keep better when salt is used
than without. He used it as follows: -
"A few days after setting out the plants,
and when they are damp, either aftec a
rain or when the dew is on take small
dish Of the salt and walking among the
rows sprinkle little pinch of salt on the
center OF each plant when the leaves be.
gin to grow. Irepeat the sailing, and
when the center Of the leaves begin to
form the head, apply salt again, scat
tering it over the leaves; after this Hook
them over occasionally, and it j find
plants that do not head: we'll and appear
diseased, sprinkle the salt over freely;
this will save al such plants. A quart
Of salt is sufficient for Eve hundred plants
in q season, although more can be used
with safety" - s'-s..:: Sz.z I'm. Z

New - Avoid centas,eu. disease.

How y Avoid Contagious Diseases.
By contagious diseases are meant such
as may be propagated BY touch, or by
being in the direct presence Of the patient
himself, or from some material derived
from him, such as'scarlet fever, smallpox,
etc. Infectious diseases are produced by
some noxious matter in. the atmosphere
net produced or. augmented by the
body itself; Of such are ague, typhoid
fever, etc. In the latter class of diseases
the necessary precautions are to! try: to
change the character of the surrounding
atmosphere by enforcing strictly sanitary
laws which is, in great measure, differ.
ent from the course to be taken II, avoid.
ing contagious diseases: :. This consists
chiefly in the stunning of all unnecessary
contact with the sick and in destroying
all noxious material they may create.
Whene yer we see person sick with a
contagious disease, no excessive fears
should be allowed to occupy the mind.
1t is wholly needless, and, moro than this,
it predisposes the system 70 the disease
it so much breads by diminishing it's tone.
A good plan is to eat or drink something
before entering the sick room, as it is
supposed that when the stomach is acting
the catching poison is to certain extent
repealed, hence after meals would be the
time to choose.
Some think or believe that the virus of
sick room is introduced into the system
through thcspittle coming in contact with
the poisoned air and then swallowed.
Therefore it would he we'll to eject and
not to swallow it. Cleanliness is good
preventive to contagion; those exposed
should take bath morning and evening;
also change clothes daily.
After leaving the sick room, take a
brisk walk, as this will excite nerve force
and air the clothes. 1t is not we'll to sleep
in the room with person having con.
tagious disease. Therefore when called
upon to watch night with the sick
which every humane person island others
ought to be, willing to dot is well to
take book and try and keep awake all
night. For when asleep the system is re-
Taxed, thus offering less resistance to con-
tagion. Certain odors are also sometimes
beneficial as preventivcs--as camphor
hartshorn, vinegar and many other SUBJ
stances, although modern science has
branded them as popular decisions.
Science has introduced 1isinfectants
which deserve great merit. Of these the
carbolic acid is deemed best of all; an
ounce may be but in a gallon of water,
and then used by sprinkling. Ameng
others always at hand are wood charcoal,
quicklime and fresh earth.

The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Graphic tells tie following:
A very touching and beautiful story
comes from the East concerning the
Princess Marceline Czartoryaka who re.
Gently died in Gallicia. Her little grand.
son fell very ill and his life was despaired
Of. The dowager in sublime prayer
asked God to take her life in place of that
Of her grandson. By sort OF miracle
the child was saved; almost Immediately
the Princess was attacked by malady Of
languor Of which it was impossible to
ascribe any natural cause.
cit is debt owe to heaven she said
family. A few days later, upon radiant
afternoon, she had herself rolled out in
her easy chair on the lawn, and gave or
ders to have all the doors and gates of
the garden opened so that everyb body
might enter. When the villagers heard
of it they at once left their tasks. Old
men and women, young men and maidens
and little children pressed about the dy-
ing Princess, who had long been like a
mother to them, for she held the old.
fashioned notion that the people are the
family of the sovereign.
Then began most touching ceremony.
The children came first, Drawing the
youngest one into her arms, she EN-.
braced it, saying, "Let this kiss fall again
upon you all, my dear fricnds.'' Then
she gave each child medallion bearing
the evangelical words '.Love one anoth-
er." 49,.
After the children came the Young
girls and women. 10 each of them she
gave little case containing implements
for needle work and a chaplet and an
image Of the Blessed Mary. To the men
she gave an ebony cross, and for each
gift and recipient she had appropriate
words. When she had extended her last
present she was 50 exhausted that her
son and daughter.in.law, who stood by
her, wished to have her wheeled back in.
to the house, but she said no. She then
begged the people to recite in loud
voice the Dominica orison. Then, at a
sign from her hand, they all knelt, and
their voices in feryent tones broke out in
the recital of the Lord S prayer; :......
As the amen still echoed in the air She
felt death invading her heart, and whis-

A Stab at West Point,

Correspondence New York Tribune
A number Of the Board of visitors re.
Gently took breakfast with the cadets, in
order to see the condition of the dining
! room and kitchen, and the fare which is
provided, together with the methods of
cooking. They found that the doors be-.
tween the kitchen and dining hall were
kept open, without even screen between
them. The potatoes which are used
were purchased in October last and many
of them are not eatable. The Pur-
veyor, who has been connected with
the Academy over thirty years,
purchased $ll 900 worth Of butter last
November at Al cents pound. He also
owns land across the river, from which he
obtains fruit, etc, charging his own price
for it. For everything which the cadets
buy. including all their clothing and
books, they are charged 10 per cent.
more than the ordinary price, and the
money thus gained is kept as fund for
repairing and erecting buildings. The
new commissary building, which was corr
pleted and occupied in January, was built
from this fund at cost Of $4,000. 1t is

$500 yearly, nearly all of which they
spend in board, clothing and other nee.
essary articles. There are nearly $50
cadets here now, and ten per
cent. oftheir yearly pay would amount to
more than $4,000. Another abuse was
found to exist in the increased charges
which are sometimes made. Last Sum-
mer there was deficit in some fund, and
it was made up, charging seven cents for
washing white trousers, the ordinary
charge for which had been only four
cents.
The Board also deprecates the pro.
longed course of mathematics. and thinks
substitution Of logi; and rhetoric,
with exercises in defamation and compo.
sition, would be desirable. Nor does the
Board regard complete knowledge of
the art Of drawing in water colora neces-

to be too strict and severe. The cadets
are trained in stiffness of manner, and

forcible words of member of the Board,
"They 60 around with an invincible ball
and chain on their ankles.'' The Board
manifests determination to expose all
abuses, and will show no mercv."

WASHING HOUSE PLANTS.

Have large pail or tub filed with warm
soapsuds, then spreading the fingers and palm
Of the left hand over the soil in the pot, turn
the branches tppsyturvy into the warm soap
suds, swing the plant briskly in the water
till every leaf has become completely satu-
rated then put it through a pail of clean water,
and rub each leaf with the thumb and finger;
giving it a good shake, and when dry return
it to its place in the window. The leaves of
plant are its lungs, each leaf being furnish
ed with hundreds Of minute pores, whence
the plants breathe in carbon and exhale oxy-
gen.
The perspiration of plants is said to be sew
enteen times that of human body. Many
plants never bloom on account the accumu-
lation of dust upon their leaves. A plant
too large to be laid down in a tub, as above
described, may be syrinsed and each leaf
rubbed clean with finger and thumb, which
are better for this purpose than brush or
cloth.
