SOCIAL L1FE.-Any great movement for
good in social life begins at home. 1t begins
with fathers aud mothers. The first and
highest duty Is to make home cheerful and
attractive. Husband and wife must do this
for each other Without this their mutual
affection will dry up If they have children,
it is their duty to make home sweet and pre-
cious to them. Children with good homes
seldom 60 to the bad. Girls who have learn
ed to trust their mother, in their whole round
of thought. seldom get talked about. Boys
who are made to feel the strength of faith
er's and the tenderness of mothers love,
seldom run wild. Their natural love of fun
and mischief does not bind them over to the
DEVILS SERVICE Pleasant, cheerful and bright
homes, then, are the great demand. They
may be poor, but they can still be pleasant
and attractive and good: The heart and
spirit are more than furniture and dwelling.

es which attack boyhood are worthy of study.
When a man is sick he just takes to his bed
and says no more about it. If he is very sick
he is calm, placid and tractable. He takes
his medicine without murmur and sips his
chicken broth with becoming gratitude. If he
is only little sick he is harder to take care
of than half menagerie. He can do more
grumbling and find more fault without cause
than the most ambitious hypochondriac could
hope to put into life time. But boy is
generally taken with alarming, if not fatal
symptoms, at about half past eight a. NJ, when
school opens at nine The fond mother
looks at his tongue, feels of his head to see if
it is not bursting with fever, and then tells
her husband to drop in at the doctors on his
way down town and ask him to hurry up lest
he be too late. At exactly nine o'clock the
boys pulse grows steadier and there is q
calmer look in his eyes. The extreme lassi-
tude which betokens typhoid has passed off,

appears that these six cases afford tho only
ground or occasion for the order just issued
by the Fraudulent President, authorizing
troops Of tho United States to make hostile
inroads into Mexico whenever the district

randum is that the latest OF these six raids

ken months ago; and Col. DEvIN of the

That it accomplished the nbolishmcht OF

No officer should be- required or pcr-

MIR. HAYES has no more authority g. pro-
