FARM AND FIRESIDE.

| HINTS ON SIC KNEss.-The following
short hints concerning the proper treat
ment of the sick are invaluable:
Don't whisper in the sick room.
When the doctor comes to see you, re-
member how many pairs of stairs he has
to climb every day, and go down to him if
you are well enough.
When you are sitting up at night with a
patient, be sure to have something to eat,
if you wish to save yourself unnecessary ex-
hauStion.
Remember that sick people are not ne
cessarily idiotic or imbecile, and that it is
not always wise to try to persuade them
that their sufferings are imaginary.
They may even at times know best what
they need.
Never deceive dying person unless by
the doctors express orders. 1t is not only
wrong to allow any soul to go into eterni-
ty without preparation !; but how can you
tell but that he has something he ought to
tell or do before he goes away?
If you have sick friend to whom you
wish to be of use, do not content yourself
with sending her flowers and jelly but
send her one of your pictures to hang in
place of hers, or a bronze to replace the
one at which she is so tired Of staring.
DON'T have needless conversations with
the doctor outside Of the sick room. Moth
ing will excite and irritate a nervous pa
tient sooner. If you do have such CONVEX
Stations, don't tell the patient that the doe
tor said nothing" He won't believe
you and he will imagine the WORST posi-
BILE.
In lifting the sick do not take them by
the shoulders and drag them up to the pill
lows, but get some one to help you. Let
one stand on one side of the patient, the
other opposite; then join hand under the
shoulder and hips, and lift steadily and
promptly together This method is easy
for those who lift, and does not disturb the
one who is lifted.
DO not imagine that your duty is over
when you have nursed your patient through
his illness, and he is about the house, or
perhaps going out again. Strength does
not come back in moment, and the days
when little things worry and l;tt'e efforts
exhaust-when the cares of b,.Y4..ess begin
to press, but the feeble brain and hand re-
fuse to think and execute--are the most
trying to the sick one, and then comes the
need for your tenderest care, your most
unobtrusive watchfulness.

WILD OATS.

The old saying about the Sowing
of wild OATS" is a very foolish one.
1t is on par with other incompre-
hensible lies, such as that "bad be-
ginners make the best endings," and
that "married rakes are the best hus
bands" People repeat these old
sayings as if they were wise, but
folly has her proverbs as well as wis
dom Reduce such maxims into
practice, knock a hole 10 the bottom
of your ship as you are about to sail,
fall and badly bruise yourself as you
start on a journey, and take such be
ginnings as fine omens for success, if
you can. So also in the questions of
morals. To stain yourself SO that
you may become pure, to blot your
virgin pages 50 that it may look
white, to throw away your money in
order to fill your purse, would be all
voted contradictions in terms, aud
living a youth of folly and sin so that
we may dedicate old age to wisdom,
philosophy, virtue and greatness is
plainly no less. He who is resolved
to sow wild oats broadcast in his
youth may rest assured in the saying,
Whatsoever a man soweth, that also
shall he reap"

PERfLoUS ADVENTURE OF A
CHILD.
Laramie CIV. IT, Chronicle, June s.

Laramie CIV. - Chronicle, June s.
A party of emigrants camped at
Point of Rocks station last night.
About S o'cock piercing scream
was heard to come from where three
or four children were at play, only
short distance from the wagons. A
rush was made to ascertain the cause,
and upon reaching the place child
about three years old was missing. A
diligent search was at once COM
menced, and continued until about | l
o'clock last night, but proved to be
unsuccessful. AT daylight this morn
ing the search was resumed, and up-
on repairing to the place where the
children were at play the night pre-
vious, large tracks, supposed to DO
those of mountain lion, were dis
covered, and followed for a distance
of about five miles into large can
yon, where the child was discovered
on a projecting rock some two huns
dred feet high. After much difficuI~
ty the little one was rescued from its
perilous position. Its clothes were
badly torn, but aside from a few
scratches on its face the child was
uninjured. There is no doubt that
the lion carried and left the child
where it was discovered, and went
after its cubs

TRUTH.

How beautiful is truth ! In this
world, where there is SO much false
hood and deceit, whereby hearts are
estranged, and recriminations, as
saults and crimes engendered-- how
beautiful are the true thought, word
and deed. Like the sun smiling out
amid the angry storm--like the
bright stars shining through the
heavy night cloud-Iike friend
clasping the hands of friend--like
right rebutting wrong-like the
lance of virtue ringing on the shield
of vice-like heaven upon earth,
and God in man, is Truth! Pre>
cious and priceless. Dearer than
the smile of friend, love of parent, or
pomp of fame. Truth is all. BY
this we know the nature and value
of things. Falsehood is craven, a
bastard. Truth is bold, noble and
God giving, beyond every attribute
of the soul.

THAT BACK PAY.

The popular condemnation of what
is called the "back pay grab was
never more forcibly shown than in
the case of Governor Hayes, VITO
has been generally successful when
nominated for office. lie was a
member of Congress in 1866, when
the salary of members was raised
from $4,000 to $4,000, by being
msanly tackled upon the soldiers
bounty bill. Mr.. Hayes drew his
back pay, and no doubt thought he
had a right to it, But his cOnstitu>
ents did not agree with him in that
opinion. When he came before them
for re election he was beaten by Gen
eral Banning by about 1000 ma
jority in a district which had been
largely Republican. The Baltimore
Sun thinks this Renaissance should
suggest to General Hayes that even
his conceded personal responsibility
will avail him nothing if the people
suspect that, if elected, his adminis~
tration will be a perpetuation of the
corrupt system and practices that
have been so long dominant at WASH
ington.

his horse after killing woman, and
rode away, chased by a party of
mounted citizens. They got within
range and fired AS they went, but
the motion of the horses prevented
good aim. The murderer refused
to surrender, and did not stop until
a bullet struck his heart.

Is THE SOUL OF WIT


There is always an advantage in
being the first to do good thing or
to say a witty one. Other people
may improve upon your jest, but
yours, being the first, will always
seem the best. Witness that old
Romans dispatch-the reEi, ridi,
Uici one, we mean. 1t stands even
yet, in popular estimation, as a mira,
Gle of brevity, and yet, even with
the advantage i; has of being in Latin
land therefore briefer than it could
possibly be in any tongue in which
verbs are not allowed to swallow per-
sonal pronouns like peanuts), it has
been beaten on its own ground more
than once. Havelock sent a wittier
dispatch when, after many hard
fights, he succeeded in reaching the
city of Lucknow and relieving the
hard pressed garrison Of that place.
He telegraphed simply, Il am in
luck now" Sir Charles Napier was
still wittier and briefer when, upon
taking Sinde, he informed the au>
thorities of the fact by sending over
the wires the single Latin word,
"PcccaUi,"-W have sinned.
OF similar sort was the jocuiar
Latin inscription upon tea chest,
"Ia Doces," which being interpreted
means, "Thou teachest"- it was
tea chest, sure enough.
