Home Of the Lepers.

What leprosy is no one who has not
seen it can we'll imagine. In the jam
setjee Jejeebhoy Dhurrumsala, a refuge
for the destitute and sick in Bombay,
the Lancet, on the authority of the
Times of India, says that there are some
hundred and twenty lepers lodged at
the present time, sharing its scanty &C
commodation with an approximately
equal number of the poor, aged, and
crippled. The lepers live in what are
called chawls or cells, some six feet long
by five feet wide, and the institution is
so full that often two lepers are crowded
into one of them. They are without
furniture or even cooking utensils, but
each of them is allowed two pounds of
rice and three pice with which to pay
for fuel to dress their food. They CON
sist of men, women and children, the chill
dren being the offspring of the men and
women, some of them being born in the
Dhurrumsala itself, for no separation of
the sexes is attempted or, it seems, even
thought of. Unfortunate creatures with
"their limbs wasted till only the outline
of the bones remain, or else swollen cut
of all form of limbs, ;" sit or lie about as
they choose, without supervision or
medical care, except from one charitable
physician whose name is withheld, at his
own request seemingly. They are visited
by no friends and by no minister of any
religion. They are abandoned, says the
Times of India, of God and man, and
were it not that the Dhurrumsala gives
them the half of six-foot cell in which
to lie, and handful of rice with which
to sustain life, they would die in their
sores along our streets and in our COM
pounds. Only those who are very much
afflicted are admitted into the refuge.
Those who are not in so advanced state
of disease are sent away to beg in the
public highways and byways until they
are sick enough to be taken into the
Dhurrumsala. ..

At an English Execution.

Referring to bungling executions, a
correspondent tells us of the case OF
Bons6eld, the wife murderer, who was
hanged in London some years since. He
not only succeeded in getting his hands
and arms loose, but actually climbed to
the top of the scaffold. Taking off his
black cap he then commenced to unfasten
himself so that he could jump down
among the crowd; but old Calcraft. with
the agility of monkey, went after him,
pulled the black cap over his eyes again,
grabbed him by the legs. and down they
went, Calcraft sticking on like grim
death, amid groans, cat calls, yells, and
Kisses for half an hour, till Bonsford was
dead. When Calcraft made his appear
ance to cut down the body he was re-
ceived with dreadful storm of shrieks
and abuse. He politely bowed to the
audience three times and then cut down
the body and disappeared.

How Indians Cure Meat.

When her lord has killed a buffalo
the woman work begins. She has to
skin 1t, the meat to secure, and all to
pack upon ponies or mules, and carry to
camp, where the meat must be cured.
This Is done by cutting it into thin
sheets, and hanging it over poles in the
hot sunshine, where it is soon dried thor
oughly; then it is packed fresh in pack
ages OF about one hundred pounds each,
and inclosed in nice folding sack Of
thick buffalo skin, prepared especially
for the purpose. This is not dressed
down thin after being deshed, but we'll
tanned, and of the full thickness Of the
skin; the hair side nicely ornamented
with paint, for the outside of the sack.
This is cut out like a huge envelope, SO
that the ends and sides will fold over
whatever is put in them, and secured by
strong buckskin trings. By being thick
it retains its form, and is very useful for
carrying other things besides meat and
tallow. After the meat is taken care of
the skin must be looked after. Those
taken at this season of the year are most
ly dressed for lodges. They are first
staked on q smooth spot of ground, and
water put upon them, when they are
ready for feshing. This consists in re-
moving the flesh with an instrument
made of straight bar of iron, about a
foot in length, hattened at one end and
filed to an edge. This being grasped in
the hand, and a succession of qnick
blows given, the work slowly proceeds.
The skin is then dried, after which, the
hair is removed in a dry state, and the
skin reduced to the proper thickness by
dressing down ON the hair side. This is
done with an instrument made by firmly
tying fat piece of steel, filed to q
beveled edge at one end, and with the
corners rounded, to q large prong of q
deers horn. This is SO trimmed, in
connection with the body of the horn, as
to form All elbow, and is used little ne
carpenter uses his adze. This work is
usually done in the cool of the morning.
The brains Of the animal, having been
properly taken care of for the purpose,
are now soaked and squeezed by the
hand until reduced to paste, and ap-
piled to both sides of the skin, which is
afterward worked and rubbed until fexi-

of sharp gritted stone.

Teaching Children Courage.

Courage is vital elementof Christian
chivalry. Without it, indeed, neither
truth nor fidelity to promise can be
hoped for. The coward is sure to lie
when truth means punishment, and sure
to retreat from his engagements when
they involve peril. We need valiant
souls that have learned to endure and
scorn pain, and to face danger fearlessly
and promptly when dutyrequires. Some
parents evade this vital part of training
by CLOSES and deception. A mother
who has taken her boy to the dentists
to get tooth out will often say, If he is
shrinking: "Sit still, my boy, it won't
hurt you" Now she knows it will hurt
him, but thinks if she can only get him
by this device to sit still and let the dem
tist get hold of the teeth, then his dis
covery of the pain will not hinder its ex-
traction. This is double mistake. 1t
destroys her boys confidence in her for
he detects her in lie and though it
gets the boy this time to SIT still, it is
under the delusion that there is to beno
pain, whereas be should be taught to
face the pain and TO scorn it. This makes
che difference between the towards and
heroes. A regiment of poltroons could
march up to battery as cheerfully as
regiment of heroes, il they thought
there was no enemy at the guns. The
difference is Chat heroes know the dam
ger and yet face il yaliantls.

Thoughts for Saturday Nisht.
Childhood is the oleep of reason.

Childhood is the sleep of reason.
A good conscience is continual
Christmas.
Most men are afraid OF bad name,
but few fear their consciences.
What we call conscience is in many
instances only wholesome fear of the
constable.
There is no outward sign of courtesy
that does not rest on deep moral foun-
dation.
Without content we shall find it al
most as difficult to please others as our
selves.
A good word is an easy obligation; but
not to speak Dlrequires only our silence,
which costs us nothing:
We must be as courteous to man
as to picture, which we are willing to
give the advantage of good light.
Covetous men need money least, vet
they most affect it; but prodigals, who
need it most, have the least regard
for it.
To neglect, at any time, preparation
for death, is to sleep on our post ut a
siege; to omit it-in old age is to sleep at
an attack.
Death is so genuine fact that it ex-
cludes falsehood, or betrays its empti-
ness; it is touchstone that proves the
gold and dishonOrs the baser metal.
We look at death through the cheap
glazed windows of the flesh, and believe
him to be the monster which the
fawed and cracked glass represents him
to be.
The greatest man is he who chooses
right with the most invincible resolu-
ton; who resists the sorest temptation
from within and without; who bears the
heaviest. burdens cheerfully; who is
calmest in storms and most fearless un-
der menaces and frowns; whose reliance
on truth, on virtue and on God is most
unfaltering. .e. - .Frrr,!r..

That Boy Bob.
paniOn.

Bob is a boy, of course, and he acted
Just like boy; just as you, reader-if
You are OF that sex--have done hundreds
OF times i'll your boyhood days. But let
the Danbury Ne,Us tell tho story:
Bob's mother is one of those unhappy
women who will be obeyed, and Bob
could not go skating that day. What
would Bob do2 The look in his eyes
grew harder, tho fingers increased their
pressure, and the lines in his face-the
hard, cruel ines-became more marked.
Death would not come ut the beck of
boy with tear stained cheeks. But Bob
would have his revenge without the aid
of the dread messenger. Had his
mother loved him she could not have
been SO cruel. But he would test that
love now, however great or little it
might be. His own heart was nuSub
with pain. Why should not she suffer
She should He brought his hands to-
gether with sharp, nervous force, and
uttered this determination aloud. He
could not defy her, but he could grieve
her, and he would. He would lacerate
her feelings, he would wiring her heart,
he would crush her soul. Howe 1t
doesn't seem possible that a heart so
young could conceive such cruel pur-
pose. Bob determined to eat no sup
per! He could hear the dishes rattle in
the dining-room, but every sound only
strengthened him in his determination.
He would go without food, and gloat
over the agony in his conscience stricken
mothers face as he faded slowly away
before her eyes. How happy Bob was
now-so maliciously, so cruelty happy.
Pretty soon there was step in the hall.
1t was his mothers coming to call him
to supper. She opened the door.

joinder.

voice.
Then the door was shut, and Bob was
alone aSaln-a somewhat surprised and
disappointed Bob. TO his strained hear
ing every sound at the table was dis
tiAC1ly dppdTeuU. linen came the extra
rattling of clearing away the things, and
shortly after silence. Poor Bob He
covered his hands over his head, and
sobbed himself to sleep. When Bob
awoke the darkness was intense, and he
was chilled to the marrow. He raised
his head and listened. Not sound was
heard. He crept out of bed and found
his way to the door. The hall was as
dark as the room. His parents had gone
to bed, and had never come near to see
him fade slowly away, and were now,
without doubt, sound asleep, with no
thought of little Bob. How long he had
slept he could not tell, but while he
slept great transformation had gone
on. The aching void in his heart had
been transferred to his stomach.
Shivering and quaking, he got out of
his clothes and crept into bed, with a
feeling that made him burrow his head
out of sight beneath the covers. The
next morning he did not have to be
called to breakfast, but Mt the table, un-
der self-inficted protest of mild type,
he buried his grief under a pyramid of
buckwheat cakes.

With thy strong arms, 1 pray;"
Thus to the elm, her neighbor-
The vine-wss heard to say;
"Else, lying low and helpless,

Crawled DER by every reptile,
And browsed by hungry kline"
The elm was moved to pity;
Then spoke the generous tree:
My hapless friend, come hither,
Aud find support in me-"
The kindly elm, receiving
The graceful vines embrace,
Became the chosen covert
In which the wild birds sing;
Became the love OF shepherds,
And glory of the spring.

Shall never miss its need;

We tighten shall be ours,
And DER the path we walk in
