Courage and Fear of Death.

The Chinese have little active courage,
though they will die for bribe to save
higher criminal from the sentence he has
earned. The Bengalee, who alone among
mankind says calmly, " 1 am timid," as if
cowardice were matter of moral and
social Indifference, or rather creditable
than otherwise, goes to execution, Macau-
lay noticed, like hero, and will encounter
an inevitable and agonizing death without
flutter of the pulse. His nerve is as great
as Wainwright's, who died without per-
ceptible change in the steadiness of his
heart beats, but who-unlike the Bengalee
with an object before him would probably
have rushed upon the cannon. The Malay,
who cannot be induced or compelled to
to face rockets, dies TRANQUILITY as Casa
bianca and the Cingalese of the coast, who
will fight nobody, meets death without a
murmur or pang.
An English sailor of the old type, who
would face anything earthly except black
cat, has probably twice as much fear oi
death as the cultivated woman who can en-
dure death by deadly operation resign
edly yet faint in the presence of any noisy
danger. The wild romancer, GustavC
Aimard, states as fact within his knowl
edge, that Spanish officer shot himsel
dead rather than cross rope suspension
bridge; and can vouch for the following
story, though we must not give names: Al
English ensign just joined before the frs
Sikh campaign, went to his commandin
officer, relative, and told him that h
could not face the shot, that he should di'
grace himself and mustresign. His relativ
} comforted him kindly, told him that h
was only nervous, and thought that he ha
soothed his fear; but the lad, as he steppe
out of the tent, shot himself through tn
brain, inviting death rather than meet
call upon his courage.

VaShti has Lost her Vail.

Rev. T. De Witt Talmage spoke in the
Brooklyn Tabernacle on Sunday on women,
based on the refusal Of Queen Vashti to
appear at the banquet Of Ahasuerus in
obedience to the command of the king, in |
consequence of which she was driven forth |
in poverty and ruin, but has ever since re-
ceived the applause of succeeding genera
tions. The preacher said:
when l see woman with unblushing
boldness, loud voiced, with a tongue of
infinite clatter, and clatter with arrogant
looks, passing through the streets with the
step of walking beam, laughter gayly
arrayed in a very hurricane Of millinery,

1 see woman struggling for political pre-
ferment, anxious to harangue popular
assemblies, trying to force her way up to
the ballot-box amidst the blasted masculine
demagogues who stand with swollen fists
and blood-shot eyes and pestiferous breath
to guard the polls, going through the loafer-
ism and beastliness of popular soverigns,
who crawl up from the saloons greasy and
foul and vermin covered, and damned
with every pollution and debauchery, to
decide questions Of justice and order and
civilization-when 1 see such woman
say, 'Ah, what pity, Vashti has lost her

"When l sees woman of comely features
and of adroitness of intellect, and endowed

The Last Place.

The newly-elected sheriff of a California
county was sitting in his office sad-eyed and
haggered. He held in his hand stack of
manuscript representing the applicants of
eight hundred and seventy-nine applca-
tions for Deputy sheriff each of whom said
he had worked for him at the polls, and
had gained him all the way up from two
hundred to one thousand votes from their
personal friends who did not vote the
Democratic ticket. A man attired in a
blue shirt with paper collar and red
nose, entered the Office, and greeted him
cordially. "Ah, Mr.. Sheriff, but it's glad 1
am to see you looking so hearty; don'tyou
remember me?'
~ don't think l do," remarked the
official although there is something in your
face which is familiar to me-
"Ah, Mr.. Sheriff, 1 thought you'd know
me, worked for you all day election, and
got you one thousand votes, and 1 come for
that place."
"Well am sorry to say that 1 have
promised all the places at my disposal.
ooh, give me place, don't care what
it is"
"Oh, by the BY" said the sheriff with a
malicious grin in his eye, there is place,
but it's not worth much, and don't think
you'd take it,
"Ah, Mr.. Sheriff, I'll take anything
don't care what kind of place it is. Tell
me what it is, and I'll jump at it with my
coat off.
"All right, said the sheriff: "There is a
Chinaman going to be hanged at the Jail
next month, and he wants somebody to
take his place. 1 think it will suit you.
The man with the red nose ceased to
smile and asked the Sheriff for a quarter to
pay for his lodging that night.

Finding Fault with the World.

There is a class of people in the world
who make it the chief business of their
lives to depreciate existence and its bles-
sings, who speak to this world as "vale
Of tears and abode Of sin and SORROW"
a " daily cross" a 4" realm of blasted hopes"
and so on through the entire catalouge of
such expressions.
Life, they tell us, is not worth living;
they wish they had never been born or
had died in infancy, and we cannot help
indulging the thought if they had, nobody
would have been the loser by it.
Everything looks to them sad and lugu-
brious. Their spectacles are smoked glass,
and their jaundiced eyes see everything
through this dusky medium.
Every misfortune which comes, every
streak of i'll luck which befalls them, is a
direct Judgment from the Almighty F;
as though they believe that the God of
love and power spent the whole time in
studying out refnements of cruelty where
with to afflict His children whom He pro-
fessed to love.
If man eats too much at dinner, drinks
too much and smokes too many cigars and
dies of apoplexy at forty when he ought by
the laws of nature to have lived to eighty,
God is arraigned, and mans friends and the
clergyman who breaches his funeral sermon
calls his death "Mysterious dispensation
Of Providence"
If mother dresses her tender little
child so as to show its bare neck and arms,
and its plump legs-beautiful, we admit
but none the less sensitive to cold on thai
account, if she fills the child's stomach
with BON J0ns and its head with knowledge
intended only for ripper years, and the chilC
dies, as of course it will, then everybody
f sympathizes with her and urges her to b.

what she has ever done to deserve such al
affecting stroke.

Eggs, and Dishes Made with Them

Eggs just at this season are among the
most useful and economical articles of
food. To boil eggs care must be taken not
to crack the shell. Have q small saucepan
more than half full of boiling water, put
the eggs in with tablespoon, and then
boil slowly till done. Three minutes and a

eggs be newly laid.
Eggs and spinach is very nice dish.
Pick out the dead leaves and trim off the

it for twelve minutes, drain in a colander,
put plate over it and press out all the
water, and put in half an ounce of butter.
Have six hard boiled eggs, cut each egg in
four slices and place them over the spinach,
then shake little white pepper over the
eggs.

half of butter in tin dish; leave it in the
oven till boiling, then take it out, crack

way best. Snaix is said to be the same as

too short for him, and don't quite cover all
his bones, and when he wiggles they make

There is one wich is got stripes and is

if it wasn't so good to eat, wich makes 'em

Understanding Ones Business.

Once in while some one starts an idea
that farming is a very poor business, and
we have to take our turn in showing that
one thing with another, there is just as
much money to be made at farming as in
anything else, while the independence and
comforts incident to a farmers life are
much above the average. We revert the
subject just now, through reading an excel
lent article in western paper in regard to
the particular class of farmers" who fail,
and we know what he finds there is typical
of similar failures all over the land.
| The writer of this article in question,
looking around him on the "farmers u
who failed, found that the bulk of his
neighbors had been previous to their set

A Servant Girls Work.

believe it was John Wesley who, when
told that his congregation consisted largely
of servants girls, replied that he was glad
of it, as they had the care of children, and
if the servant girls were converted they
would train the children in the fear of the
Lord.
A most notable illustration of this truth
is found in a case of one Of England's most
honored noblemen. A half a century or
more ago his mother had a servant maid
and housekeeper, named Mary Millas. She
had the care of this child, and trained him
up until he was seven years Of age, when
she died. But the seed which she had
sown was not lost. She had set an indeli
BILE mark upon the tender mind of the
young nobleman, and her example, pre-
cepts, and prayers, remembered by him, fix
ed and formed his character for good a
that early age. To-day that little child j
known and honored Throughout England
by every class from the beggar to prince
and his name is craven upon the hearts o
the poor throughout the length and breadt
Of the land.
Let those who deem their position lowl
and their work obscure, take courage an
be faithful; and if at any time their heart
despond or repine, let the name of Lor

consecrated and generous life, encoural
them to toll on, as Mary Millas did, assu

Mrs. Stanton thinks that if the women
do not accomplish so much as men, there
is good reason for it. She is not dressed to
work, but to kill. Men do not appreciate
the beauty of woman's attire. She says;
Take man, and pin three or four large
table-cloths about him, fastened back with
elastic and looped up with ribbons; drag
all his own hair to the middle of his head
and tie it tight, and hairpin on about five
pounds of other hair, and bow of ribbon.
Keep the front locks on pins all night, and
let them tickle his eyes all day; pinch his
waist into corset, and give him gloves a
size too small, and shoes ditto, and a hat
that will not stay on without torturing
elastic, and frill to tickle his chin, and a
little veil to blind his eyes whenever he
goes out to walk, and he will know what
