Understand the reasons, and all
the reasons, why the habit is inju-
rious. Study the subject until there
is no lingering doubt in your mind,
Avoid the places, the persons, and
the thoughts that lead to the temp
tation. Frequent the places, asso-
ciate with the persons, indulge in
the thoughts that lead away from
temptation. Keep busy; idleness is
the strength of bad habits. Do not
give up the struggle when you have
broken your resolution once, twice
a thousand times. That only shows
how much need there is for you to
strive. When you ayebroken your
resolution just think the matterov-
err, and endeavor to understand why
it is you failed, so that you may be
on your guard against a recurrence
Of the same circumstances, Do not
think it an easy thing that you
have undertaken. It is folly to ex.
pect to break off a habit in a day
which may have been gathering long
years.

How to Make children Moral

think, says u writer, that instead
of beginning, as we do, with whole
heaven and earth embracing theory
Of duty God and nan, it might be
better to adopt with our children the
method Of dealing only with each
particular instance Of moral obliga'
ton emperically as 'itseceurs; with
each particular incident Of life, de-
tached as it were from the notion Of
a formal system, code, or theory Of
religious belief, until the recurrence
of the same rules of morality under
the same governing principle, invo-
kcd only in immediate application
to some instance of conduct or Incl.
dent Of personal experience, built up
by degrees Il body Of precedent which
would have the force ana efficacy Of
law before it was theoretically incul-
Gated as such. Whoever said that
principles were moral habits spoke,
it seems to me, a valuable truth, not
generally sufficiently recognized or
acted upon in the task of education,

variety Of motions, and have SO
practiced the science as to make of
it an art. Skating has been prac-
ticed, it is said, in the "north
country" for some sixteen or seven
teen centuries, and in the poems of
the Norseman are frequent illusions
to the skaters and skating. and the
Finnish people are known as sliding
Firms from the habit Of travelling
on snow shoes. From the snow
shoe, indeed, it is said that the
skates were developed, iron bands
being used to strengthen the snow
shoe, and gradually coming into
use as runners on the ice. In Russia
the introduction of skating is COM
paratively recent, the exercise
being almost unknown until with
in half a century. In Holland,
however, where with less severe
cold there is far more quiet
water, the youth OF the country have
been long accustomed to sport on
the ice, gliding on skates them
selves, and pushing their lady
friends around on chairs. The pic
ture of Goethe, as described by his
mother while he was skating, is we'll
know to all lovers of German litera-
ture. In England, also, the sport
Of skating has been All honored one
since the time Of Henry III. In
America, however, it was not until
within twenty years that 1t became a
popular amusement, although among
the traditions Of New England are
many stories Of skaters, none Of
whom, however, achieved any con
siderable fame. During the winter
of 1878 the amusement, in conse-
Quence of one OF the sudden turns OF
popular fancy which are so hard to
account Tor, became At once national

On Guard
Some Queer Railroad Builders.

There were workmen on the Paci-
fic Railway even more curious than
the irish or Chinese navvies. Dur
ing the summer of 1868, the Lara
mie River became very low, much
to the distress Of contractor who
had cut a great many thousand
cross ties--the timbers on which the
rails are laid-snd which he expect
cd to float down TO the point where
the railroad was to cross. He was
at first at loss to know what to do,
but resolved, finally, to build dams
across the river at various points,
and, when the stream was thus
made high enough, set his RATS
afioat. Large parties OF men, there
fore, went to work building the
dams. No sooner would the men
leave off work vt night than thou
sands Of beavers would begin, and
work hard ut the dam during the
whole night. Water Is almost as
necessary to the comfort Of beavers
as on this occasion IL was to the wei
fare of the contractor; and 1t was
probably for this reason, and not be-
cause they wished to see the rail-
road finished, that the beaver CON-
munity joined in the labor of build
ing the dams. - st. Nicholas for

SKATING.

Awriter in the New York "Times"
says; The art of skating, although it
has been known and celebrated in
literature for hundreds of years, may
Do said at the present day to be an
American art. For while the Morse
man, the Hollander, and the Briton
nave long known and practiced Gid
ing over the ice on contrivances of
oone' wood, iron and steel, and have
achieved no mean skill in the exer-
else, itremained for Yankee ingenu-
NY to perfect the skate, and for
Americans to develop the variety of
motions which are more graceful
than dancing, more varied than
swimming, and swifter than the
hight Of many birds. The exercise
Is the poetry of motion. 1t motion
with the least conceivable friction,
and seems, at least in some figures, to
he produced by continual violating
OF the law OF gravitation. More can
be effected, with less exertion, in
skating than in any other way.
In its nature it is adapted we'll
to the American temperament,
and it is not at all surprising
that, while other nations have con-
fined themselves to simple locomo-
ton, Americans have improved the
possibilities offered of an infinite

. xEyER GIVE UP THE SHIP"
Remarkable Feat Of the Captain
Of a Norwegian Bark.

The Sheffield telegraph "of No
vember 4th prints the following
The Norwegian bark Poussin, Capt.
Adder Hansen, left Gefe, bound for
England, with cargo of iron and
deals, on the 10Th of October. On
the 18th a fearful gale, with tremen-
dous high sea, arose, and rext day
the breakers made complete breach
over the vessel, carrying away por-
tions of the deck-load and doing
much damage to the ships side. To
save the vessel from sinking incessant
pumping was necessary. By mid
night the last pump was disabledi !
but fortunately the weather moder-
ated a little, though the vessel was
rolling fearfully. On the next after
noon smack came in sight, and
though Capt. Hansen had persuaded
the crew to take the signal down,
tbev decided, as the smack neared
them, to leave the ship. "The whole
of the crew." writes the Captain,
"took their respective baggage and
were conveyed by the SIN ck's boat
to the vessel, leaving me alone to my
fate. As did not consider it con-
sistent with my duty to leave the
vessel, especially as | saw th1t she
could be taken into harbor without
much danger, now shaped my
course to the west, 10 the hope of
getting the vessel into Grimsby, and
gained the information from the
smack that was twenty-five miles
northe st of the Lemon and Over
light-ship. The wind freshrDed and
the tishrrme il isted their dag and
tried by this ther means tp per-
sua3e m a.. to aud the
vcss. out steering toward
the west. aad b much eXertion sue
ceeded in setting the ioresail and
mainsail, also lighting the binuacle
lamp and side lights. During the
night had several squalls, with
lightning aud rain; in fact il was a
most dreadful night. The sea was
stlll very high and breaking on deck,
as the vessel was very deep. The
cabin was full Of water, which, by
the rolling Of the vessel, kept rushing
from side to side and making fear
ful noise, and destroying everything
in it. | was now almost exhausted
with the continued working of the
wheel, as the vessel steered very
badly, and | fell down several times
through sheer exhaustion; but after
a while | recovered again, and con-
tinued steering west-northwest." AT
last the brave fellow was rewarded
by sighting the Spurn light, and soon
after the crew of pilot-cutter from
Hull assisted him to steer up the
Humber to Grimsby. There must be
"grit" in man who, deserted by his
sailors and left alone on a wild night
in leaky "tub" at the mercy of
tempestuous ocean, maintains his
confidence in his own seamanship,
and justifes that confidence by bring
ing his ship into port. Norway has,
in proportion to her population, the
largest commercial navy in the world.
or total population of 1,78o 900, no
fewer than 55,632 are sailors. And
no wonder her commerce should in
crease If she numbers among her
seamen many men of the type of
Captain Adder Hansen.

republican party. And Hon. VIM.
D. Kelly, than whom no man in the
country has labored more zealously
in the greenback cause, is, also,
acting with the republican party
and proposes to continue to do so.
The truth is: every vote cast for
the independent ticket will have the
effect Of half a vote cast for the dem
ocratic party and, therefore, avow-
eddy against the greenback policy.
The democrats realize this, and it is
for this reason that they denounce
most severely those greenback ad-
vocates who act with the republican
party.

Under such circumstances there is
no call for villi6cation, and if the
