SEPARATED AT THE GRAvE.-We re-
Gently printed, says an exchange, an
account of the final separation of two
young people at the grave of their child.
A stranger and sadder case occurred in
Illinois few days ago. Ahusband and
wife had lived together for over thirty
years, and had raised to manhood and
womanhood several children. The hus-
band was for years a Leading and active
member of the orthodox church, and the
wife still retains her place in the church.
A few months ago the Oldest son died.
and at the time of his death the young
est son, about twenty years of age, was
lying sick. The father and mother ten
derly nursed him, but in a short time he
also died. Funeral services were had
at the family residence, and as the body
was to be taken 70 Ohio for interment,
the family went together to the depot,
and one of the sons accompanied the
body to Ohio. The mother also took
the same train for the county-seat to get
a divorce, which was readily granted, on
the ground of the husbands adulterous
practices. Comment is unnecessary.

THE VALUE OF TACT.

Frederick Douglass was travelling with
a friend of another color in a part of
the country where public sentiment was
bitterly hostile to the association of col
ors. They stopped at a tavern and din
ed together, at which spectacle the viii
lage, growing and grumbling about the
stove in the bar room. was Immediately
disposed to make mischief. The bar
room philosophers were troubled for
the honor of their color "'What bust
ness has white man to be travelling and
eating with - nigger, anyhow? If
he does't know what's decent, We'll
teach him" Che crowd was indeed,
very alxio;:o 10 ; ire the offender a few
summary lessons in deceney. They
were like duelists, who have ludicrous
conceit that they know what honor is.
Douglass slipped ont quietly, and re-
turning after little while, he remarked
to his companion in a good-humored
way. that he had just seen very singu-
lar sight in the stable; and the crowd
turned to hear what it was You'll
hardly believe it, "said Douglass address
ing his companion as if there were no
one else in the room, ''but i gave my
white mare and your bay horse four
quarts of oats each, and there they are,
eating side by side as quietly and con-
tentedly as if they were of the same
color. 'Tis most extraordinary He
did not laugh or wink, bat made his
remark with simple sincerity that was
irresistible. There was a moment of
silence. Then came the echo. Human
wit had spoken, and human heart had
answered. "What cussed fools we arem

THE following pertinent assertions
come from The Nationa! Teachers Month
ly: Teachers are apt to talk too much
in conducting recitations. Teachers toe
often neglect to teach their pupils how
to study. The Use of dictionary or
other book of reference should be
taught A good plan is TO have children
find, write, and define ten words, giving
credit to the one who is done first. tits
bad to quelI disorder in disorderly
manner, such as by jingling bell furi-
ously, or tapping with 2 pencil, or
stamping with the foot, or whacking the
table with a stick-the table is not to
blame. We would advise teachers not
to question children by throwing books
at their heads; the children would be
justified in replying by means of flying
states and disengaged ink-welis. School
rooms should be seated so that the light
shall strike in over the left shoulder"

CHANCELLOR ELIOT of Washington
University, st. Louis, says concerning
the education of women: ITO speak
from our own very limited experience, /
can most confidently say that it has thus
far developed no insuperable difficulty
to the admission of young women, when
properly prepared, to the regular classes
either of college, or scientific or law
school. We have observed no indica-
tions of intellectual inferiority, of di-
vided attention, of careless habits of
study, of inability TO meet all reasonable
requirements of q strict curriculum. l
sincerely wish that we could have more
of them i'm every class from this time
forward, with this one condition, that
the courses of study should not be low
cred i'm any respect, but held to the full
standard of scholarly education, so that
young women graduates should stand
upon the same level of scholarship with
the young men. There was L time when
should have liesitated to say this, but
my skepticism has departed, and my
only fear now j. that very few young
women can be so inspired with the love
of learning as to desire the highest edu-
cation, or who are SO fortunately situ-
ated as to have the opportunity and
choice given to them"

THERE is an unhappy Democratic ed
itor in Titusville, Pennsylvania. He
has been standing on the Democratic
platform of last year and yelling like
hero for the rag baby. Suddenly his
party turns up in convention as a
hare money organization, punches the
peted infant between the eyes, and de
clares for the bloated aristocrat's gold
and silver as the ''only true basis for the
currency of the Republic" The editor
is astounded. 'Tf it were not wicked"
he says, ''we should swear a little" a
desire entirely natural under the circum-
stances. As for going back on the rag
baby he will Fever do it. He will go
back on the party sooner. "For quar-
ter of a century we have voted the Dem
ocratic ticket" he proudly boasts, ''and
have never swerved in giving the party
an unfaltering support. Year after year
we have consented to be led like lamb
to the slaughter, and so long as the
party remained true to its principles we
were never discouraged under defeat
But if there are any who expect us to
stultify ourselves, they will expect in
vain" 1t must be monotonous to be
sled like lamb to the slaughter" every
year for a quarter of century. Even
Job himself would feel like varying the
proceedings with bolt after an expert
ence like that

SMCTTED HANDS.

Through al Of life, the toughest task
Before ii-ii Kind that stands,
Is doing u :a! ihe world may ask,
Yet never soiling hands
To he statesman and forego
The brides of place and power:
To be priest, yet never know
Some weak and tempting hour;
TO be merchant and refuse
Some quick unhallOwed gain,
When some could win though others lose.
And profit hallow stain.
All these and many more are hard,
In manhood's tempted path,
And he must be most lucky starred
Who such good fortune hath
Young Johnny, left awhile alone
Within the kitchens bound,
Though all the truth he scarce has known
The fatal hour has found
The saucepans tempting sides have given
His hands grimy hue,
That washings five and scrubbingS seven
Can scarcely all undo.
With rue he scans those digits black, 9
And thinks of ways and means;
Yet nothing in his thought, alack,
Those EthiOp fingers cleans.
Pray heaven that in his older life
He fines no fatal hour, r.
When, fresh from scene of human strife,
He lacks that self-same power,
Pray heaven in the decades far away,
\ stronger man he stands,
From having had in childhood's day
a pair of smutted hands.

{ THOUGHT FOR INFIDELS.

No candid observer will deny that
Whatever of good there may be in our
American civilization is the product of
Christianity. Sill less can he deny that
the grand motives which are working FOR
the elevation and publication of our so
ciety are strictly Christian. The i'm
mense energies of the Christian Church,
stimulated by love that shrinks from
no obstacle, are all bent towards this
great aim of univers ii publication.
These millions Of sermons and exhorta-
tions which are a constant power for
good, these countless prayers and songs
of praise, on which the heavy laden lift
their hearts above the temptations and
sorrows of the world, are all the product
of faith in Jesus Christ That which
gives us protection by day and by night
the dwellings we live in, the clothes
we wear, the institutions of social order,
all these are the direct offspring of
Christianity. All that distinguishes us
from the Pagan world-all that makes
us what we are, and all that stimulates
us in the task of making ourselves better
than we are, is Christian. A belief in
Jesus Christ is the very fountain-head
of everything that is desirable and
praiseworthy in our civilization, and this
is the flower of time. Humanity has
reached its noblest thrift, its grandest
attitudes of excellence, its high-water
mark, through the influence of this faith.

A ToAST.-Two important discover
les; The discovery of America by
Columbus, and DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery; the one opening up
to mankind new continent, the other
q fountain of health, which is indispens-
able TO the full enjoyment of life and its
blessings. In response to the above
sentiment comes the unsolicited attesta-
tions of tens of thousands of grateful
patients, who have been relieved of
chronic ailments through its instrument
tally. Those voices are limited to no
one locality, but from every city, village,
and hamlet, in our broad domain, as well
as from other elimes, and in the strange
utterances of foreign tongues, like the
confused murmur of many waters, come
unfeigned and hearty commendations.
1t is, in combination with the Pleasant
Pugative Pellets, the great depurator of
of the age. Under its benign action
eruptions disappear, excessive waste is
checked, the nerves are strengthened,
and health, long banished from the

tues in the diseases for which it is rec
commended unite in pronouncing ir the

THE Enquirer, throwing up the sponge
for the rest of the Democratic candi-
dates, lays to its soul the soft JUNCTION
that, anyhow, it has Allen left. 1t says:
''Even the Belknap and Babcock and
Grant Republicans have not attempted
to accuse Governor Allen, of Ohio, of
any public wrong. If it is because they
do not fear him they may be mistaken.
Governor Allen las been close to the
Presidency more than once"
This reminds us-as Mr. Lincoln was
wont to say-of little story. 1t is of a
new-hedged doctor who was called in
to attend a woman in confinement. An
acquaintance asked him how the case
was progressing. Said the frank son of
Esculapius: 1.-THE child is dead, the
mother will die, but we have hopes of
saving the old Cincinnati Ga
zette.
