subject for hot-house forcing; it arrives
at its best strength and most desirable
development only in its natural element
and by natural stages of rather slow
growth a1slf ffa' "a noF
1t much more frequently happens that
a somewhat dull child, or one that has
shown merely kind of quiet common
sense, comes by and by to the front on
the great stage of human affairs, than
otherwise. The vivacious, sparkling,
meteoric style of infancy seems usually
to burn itself out; and its ashes fill
either an early grave, the dropping form
of an invalid, or that of some fitfully-
flashing, but on the whole incompetent,
sample of mediocrity. There are excep-
tions to all rules, but this is the rule with
regard to the growth of intellect, not to
say genius, and both these are more
likely to be developed by the exigencies
and hard knocks of actual life, as nature
prepares the way, than by the parlper-
ing and forcing of early stimulation.
Just observe little one whose parents
glory in its precocity, how the lights and
shades of color and expression chase
each other ever the mobile features; how
the eyes glow and the nervous system of
the excitable, miniature candidate for
public applause is upon the strain when
or wherever it feels itself to be on exhi-
bition. Almost superhuman must such
child be if its self-consciousness do not
soon make it an object of censure, if not
of dislike, to everybody except its doting
friends, some who would winfavor with
these, or perchance apassing stranger at
tracted for moment. But this is not
the worst of it: that eagerness for no.
tice, for admiration, is a fever hurrying
on the life currents with an unwhole
some, an exhausting impulse: In past
times people used to push and ply their
promising infants with book lore this is
not now the fashion; it is not school
books nor schoolmasters that nowadays
sap the life of the little Dombeys; it is
excitement, not work, that, especially
among us, does the mischief. Science OF

To groan and sweat under extortionate land

But that the. dread of helpless and expensive
Those prodigies of modern training puzzles the

And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than hazard being taken in and done for?
Thus women do make towards of lis all;
And thus the hopeful heart Of many bachelor

And enterprises of goodwill and spirit.
With this regard of marriage turn away,
And lose the name of husband.

THERE is danger lest the fashion of
shooting burglars on the spot will be car
ried too far The ALLEGED chicken-t thief
who was shot dead while lowering about
coop in New York the other night
made an ante-mortem statement to the
effect that he was not in the act OF steal
ing at all, but he was there hunting after
his employers pigs and cows. The alb
surdity of hunting after pigs and COWS
in hencoop is apparent, but 1t would
be well nevertheless forburglar-shoot
to first be sure they are right and then
go ahead.
He was going up Jefferson avenue,
in Detroit, sachel in hand, when he saw
an old hat on the walk. He deviated
considerably from his course, stopped
close to the hat, and drew back and
kicked with all his might. Some boys
gathered around him as he sat in the
doorway holding his foot and grating his
teeth and weaving his body to and To,
and they explained to him that he never
should kick old hats in strange town.

MAKING A BEG1NN1NG.-Remem
Der, in all things that if you do
not begin, you will never come to
an end. The first weed pulled up
in the garden, the first seed set in
the ground, the first dime put in
the savings bank, and the first
mile travelled on a journey are all
important things; they make a
beginning, and therefore give a
hope, a promise, apledge, an assur-
ance that you are in earnest with
that which you have undertaken.
How many a poor,idle, erring, hes
itating outcast, is now creepin g
and crawling his way through
the world, who might have held up
his head and prospered, if, instead
Of putting off his resolutions of
amendment and industry be had
only made a beginning. After the
beginning, persevere to the end.

The DUNKERs' Love FEAST =

The DUNKERs' LOVE Fast
The Reading Penn, Times says
that the annual love feast of the
Dunkers is in progress on the farm
Of Mr.. johnson Miller, near Litiz,
on the line of the Reading and
Columbia railroad. The exercises
are held in a barn, the northern
side Of which is occupied by the
women and children, and on the
south side the men, sit, entirely
separated from their wives, sisters,
and sweethearts by a stout plank
platform five feet high, their hats
laid on an extension Of boards,
which serve as a very convenient
hat rack. Bishop David Garlick, Of
Mount Joy, directs the religious
services, assisted by three or four
preachers from other counties.
The services are conducted in the
English and German language, SER
mons, singing, and prayers alterna-
ting in the two languages. No
hymn-books are used, the words
being lined out by the preacher in
the singing tone Of the olden time,
and the congregation heartily re-
spending. There are five meeting
houses in the district, one near Ii
tiz, one near Mannheim one at Pc
tersburg, one at Mount Hope, and
the other OF Graybill's near Penn
vile. A large concourse of people
are in attendance. The general
expenses are paid by voluntary
contributions, and the provisions
are furnished by the members &C
cordipg to their means. None OF
the clerical order receive any
salary. The place of worship is
delightfully."- cool, and its rude and
novel appearance in no wise de-
tract from the fervor or effective
ness of the services. The prac-
tice of the men kissing each
other is. one of the striking tea-
lures Of their salutations.

A BRUTE.-Don't read the an
nexed extract 70 your wife, young
man, because it is likely to make
her cry.
The girl is generally educated
on novels, and her first disappoint-
ment comes in the quiet iudifer-
ence of the husband after the
honeymoon. "You love me no
longer" said a bride Of a few
months to her better half in gown
and slippers. "Why do you say
that, puss?" he asked, quietly re-
moving cigar from his lips
"You do not caress me and call
me pet names; you no longer
seek so anxiously for my company;
was the fearful answer. "My
DEAR" continued the aggravating
wretch, "did you ever notice a
man running after a car? How
be does run-over stone, through
mud, regardless of everything, till
he reaches the car, and he seizes
hold and swings on. Then be quiet
ly seats himself and reads the pa
per-" "And what does that mean?"
"An illustration, my dear. The car
is as important to the man after
ho gets in as when he is chasing
it, but the manifestation is no
longer called for. I would have
shot any one who would have put
himself in my way when in pur-
suit of you, as I would shoot any
one now who would como between
US, but as proof of my love you
insist on my running after the car.
Learn to'smoke, my dear, and be
philosopher. The two combined
will clear the brain, quiet the
nerves, open the pores and improve
tho Digestion"

AN ECCENTRIC JUDGE-LAwYERs
SHOULD NOT BE AssEs.-Judge
Underwood. Of Rome, to four
young lawyers who had just pass
ed determination in~his- court:
"Young gentlemen, I want to say
thing or two to you. You have
passed as good an examination as
usual, perhaps better; but you don't
know anything. Like hose
young fellows just back from their
graduation college, you think you
know a great deal. That is a
great mistake. If you ever get to
be Of any account, you will be sur
prised at your present ignorance.
Don't be too big foryour breeches.
Go round to the Justices court.
Try to learn something. Don't be
afraid. Set off upon high key.
You will, no-doubt, speak a great
deal of nonsense, but you will have
one consolation; nobody will know
it. Thegreat mass of mankind take
sound for sense never mind about
your case-pitch in. You are
about as apt to win as lose. Don't
be ashamed of the wise-looking
justice. He don't know a thing.
He is a dead beat on knowledge.
Stand to your rack fodder or no
fodder, and you will see daylight
after awhile. The community gen.
orally supposes that you will be
rascals. There is no absolute ne
cessity thatyou should. You may
be smart without being tricky.
Lawyers ought to be gentlemen.
Some Of them don't come up to
the standard and are a disgrace
to the fraternity. They know more
than any other race generally, and
not much in particular. They don't
know anything about sand stones,
carboniferous periods, and ancient
land animals known as Fossils
Men that make out they know a
great deal on these subjects don't
know much. They are humbugs-
superb humbugs. They are ancient
land animals themselves, and will
Ultimately be fossils. You are dis
missed with the sincere hope Of
the Court that you will not make
asses of yourselves.
