ALesson 10 Fathers.

The great secret of success in brings
ing up children is to establish and pre-.
serve perfect confidence between parents
and children. If the father is the boys
best friend, as all wise mothers are the
girls, there is no trouble about keeping
them from bad associates, whose vicious
examples and silly bravado have lasting
effect upon their characters. Fathers,
in your efforts to secure fortunes for
your families, remember that money will
not save you from the heartache.. II your
boys 60 wrong, and that their only safe
ty is in being kept close by your side,
helping you in your business, and you
in turn sharing their fun and play
Nothing is so fattering to boys as the
society of their fathers, and nothing
makes man so popular with them as
his joining in their amusements. Try
to do this and your sons will try in turn
to understand your cares and troubles.
Take as much pains to preserve them
from contamination in the shape of i'm.
moral eompanionship as mothers do
their girls, and you will 6nd them grow
ing up to be modest and virtuous young
men, fit companions and husbands for
girls who have been carefully guided
from all knowledge Of evil. Devote
your evenings to family amusements and
pleasures. Invite young people to your
house and pay them attention, instead
of going off to bed or shutting yourself
in another room the moment they make
their appearance, as If there was, and
could be, nothing between your man.
hood and their youth. So shall you be
kept young in heart, and the inexperi-
ence of your sons will be tempered with
something Of the sobriety Of experience.

Burnins a Faithless wife az the
Stake,
from the Reno JournalJ

About three weeks ago an Indian
known as Sam lost his sqnaw Mary,
through the Establishments of an Indian
named Jim, with whom she eloped, ta.
king some of bis household goods. The
loss of these goods added much to the
wrath of Sam, and he raised such com.
motion among the Pinte braves that
they determined to teach the frail Mary,
aud, by her example, the rest of the NO.
men of the tribe, lasting lesson. Jim
tried to screen her from the gathering
storm by hiding her, but they soon
found her, and about iifty OF the tribe,
including Jim and several squaws, es.
corted her to tue hills, just back Of Wa.
shoe lake, on Saturday evening last. and
there, safe from Caucasian intrusion,
they made great pile Of sage brush,
and, after tying her firmly in the mid.
die OF it, set 1t on fire. Then they be-
gan a war dance around the scene Of
cremation, in which all joined, Sam
being very fierce in his leaps and yells..
The screams of Mary added to the xest
of the dance. Jim, mean time, set quiz
etly by, and seemed an Indifferent spec.
tator. After the body Of the unfortu.
nate Mary had been reduced to ashes,
Sam expressed his satisfaction, and they
dispersed.

Five Dollars for a Peanut.
(San Francisco Chronicle.l

A young lady viewing an intelligent
ape day or two ago at Woodward's
Gardens, offered him her purse, which
was accepted with chattering remarks.
The ape helped himself to the contents,
consisting of eighteen silver half dol
lars and one five and one two-and.a-half
dollar pieces in gold, all of which he
put into his mouth and deposited in his
pouch, and looked for more. The lady,
astonished, called an employe of the
Gardens, who, after an hour of coaxing
Swapping peanut for a coin-in-
