vice versa. This being the case, let us
hear of no more damage to hulls or car

Profanity.

1t would seem that we were living in
an age.of profanity, and that we We're al
most on the topmOst current. One cam
not 60 on the street anywhere without
having his ears offended with the vilest
words, anG his reverence shocked by the
most profane use of sacred names. Nor
does it come from the old or the middle
aged alone, for it is a fact that the young
er part of the community are most pro-
ficient in degrading language. Boys have
an idea that it is smart to swear: that it
makes them manly, but there never was
a greater mistake in the world. Men.
even those who swear themselves, are dis
gusted with profanity in a young man,
because they know how, of all bad hab-
its this clings the most closely and in
creases with years, 1t is the most insid-
uous of habits, growing on one so invis-
IDLY, that almost before one is aware he
becomes an accomplished swearer.

The Missing Schooner.

The Chicago Tribune, of the Goth,
says no additional news has been re-
ceived of the missing schooner Kate l..
Bruce, supposed to have been foundered
off Thunder bay island, Lake Huron, and
all on board drowned, 1t is the general
opinion among vessel men that she is
lost, and her crew with her. Eleven
days have elapsed since she was seen off
Cheboygan, and if any of her officers or
crew had escaped, in the event OF her
having toundered, they would have
reached some place on the lake shore and
reported. The wrecking Of so many
canal schooners has led to a good deal of
discussion regarding that class of vessels
whose hulls are built like boXes-brOad
at the bottom-with view of obtaining
as much capacity as possible. The wreck
of the Bruce has added much toward the
agitation of the matter, and it seems
likely that some reform in the construc-
ton of canal schooners will be made, if,
indeed, any more are built before the
Welland Canal is enlarged and improved
in 1880.

afhe5 Personal and Property Rights
OF Citizen Of the United States. :"

Prof. Parsons, late law professor of
Harvard College, has rendered a valuable
service to his countrymen by preparing q
work giving in tangible form the laws
OF the United States and Of the several
states which especially affect the rights
OF citizens, tits a work not only -yalua-
ble for its general information but. it is
emlnently practical. Itcontains intorma-
tion and blank forms which will enable
individuals to transact all ordinary busi-
ness without the trouble and expense of
employing lawyer. Probable onc-half
OF the law suits grow out of what were at
first trivial errors at the outset of business
arrangements. The possessor of Prof,

caption Of this article can have no excuse

and really invaluable to the citizen

: where, according to the tale, an agricul:
turist recently died leaving wife, q horse
and dog.rsA few moments before his
death he called his wife to him, and bade
her sell the horse, and give the proceeds
of the sale to his relatives, and to sell the
4 d dog and keep the money thus gained: for
herself. ...!'...,n .r ..>,I.. o.,.
Soon after the death the wife went to
etth the market with the horse and dog, and
exhibited them, with the announcement
'that the price of the dog was one hundred
+ dollars and that of the horse one dollar,

judged the woman mad, more especially
as she Informed all >would3bc purchasers
that to buy the horse it was necessary to

Tho Irish Moss Industry in America

AS we were sailing out ut six in the
morning to our fishing ground we came
into the midst ola fleet of mosscrs" or
,gathcrers of the carrugeen-or Irish moss
which is obtained here in large quanti-
ties, and affords employment to and sup
port to large number of inhabitants.
The water OF the bay in shore is remark
ably clear, as also found it to he very
strong in bathing; SO that the "mossers''
could dive down their long sea rakes
straight on the moss punches clinging to
the rocks, and in a few hours in favorable
weather each would secure fair boat
load. In stormy weather, however. the
labor is often hard and dangerous.
When the moss boatmcn have secured
satisfactory loads, they bring them to
their sheds and pebbly bleaching and
drying grounds at the back of the beach,
near Second Cliff, pleasant walk of
about two miles from the town, where a
visitor can go and observe the whole pro-
cess OF preparation, and will be pleased
with the frank, genial reception given
him by the "mossers and their wives
and children, whom if the dav
will find all busily engaged, some in
washing, others in picking and sorting,
and others again in turning over the
moss-likc hay to give it ali an equal
share OF sunshine and air. They put it
1t oil through five washings, and then,
when dried, it is clean and white and
ready to be packed in the barrels of
about one hundred pounds, in which it is
sold to wholesale druggists and also to
brewers, who, I am glad to hear use it to
some extent for the dearcr isinglass. II
oil beer was only "adulterated in that
way venture to say it would be a very
healthy drink, quite worthy of admission
even into temperance Scituate.

hot to be ruff1ed. Til, tendency Of a

face the worst qualities q person has. Let
tho'teacher smile often and much, and let
these smiles be upon. his pupils and not
solely on his visitors. To help the teach
,e1.to gain this balanced, pleased state of
mind, we urge that the work be we'll

the difficulties you may meet, the OBJ

yourfwholc heart in the work; 60 about
it'with earnestness and enthusiasm; feel
interested that it prove successful, and
finally look to Providence and rely on
His aid. There is no one who cannot bet

the above directors. ~.,r, -
There are some places where nothing

press the scholars, but they do not after
all. Nor does good humor seem to i'm
ply weakness and invite disobedience as
some would think. There is difference
between an easy teacher and good
humored one; but the difference between
a good-humorcd=zand bad-humored
teacher is very plain. Two young men
went at recess to, accompany q fellow

than they expected. ""My! won't Miss

Anger is the 'most,impotent passion that
occupies the mind Of man; it fails to cf-

it is especially painful, for it is reflected
into the being of the child. The teacher
needs friends among his pupils, but he
cannot gain them except by that good
humor that always and everywhere wins
them. A sunny temper Of itself attracts
the attention and wins the lasting esteem,
OF others; they love, they hardly know
why. A cheerful temper is like
