Don't scoId.

For the shake of your children,
don't do it. 1t is great misfortune
to have children reared in the pres.
ence and and under the influence Of a
scold. The effect of the everlasting
complaining and fault finding of
such persons is to make the young
who hear it unamiable, malicious,
callous-hearted; and they often learn
to take pleasure in doing the very
things for which they receive such
tongue.lashings. AS they are always
getting the blame of wrong doing,
whether they do it or not, they think
they might as we'll do wrong as right.
They lose all ambition to strive for
the favorable opinion ofthe faultfnd-
err, since they see they always strive
in vain.
Thus is a scold not only NUS.
ancc, but destroyer of the morals Of
children, Ifthese unloved, dreaded
people could only see them as others
could see them, they would flee to
the mountains in very shame.

The RuIling Passion In Sleep.

Last night the wife Of Justice Mos
es was aroused from a sound sleep
by a stern voice: Are you ready for
trial, say?" "Hush-don't make a
noise or else you'll wake the baby"
she replied, endeavoring to soothe
him. Don't talk back to the Court"
he vociferated, "if you've got any
witnesses, bring EN- on, but let your
lawyer do the talking" "Why, Tom
how you take on! What's the mat
teri" II send you up for sixty days
that's what's the matter. Here,
Enders, take her away, Now I'm
ready for that petty larceny case
bring up the prisoner" and jumping
out of bed, he started towards the
next room to summon jury,b but fell
over rocking chair, barked his shin
woke up, and asked his wife what
the devil was the matter, anyhow.

: The Scotch Courtship.


A shy young man If Scotland for
fourteen years had wooed the lassie
Of his heart. One night Jamie, for
that was the young mans name,call-
ed to see Jennie, and there was ter
rible look about his eyes-just as
there is sometimes when.. they have
made up there minds to pop the
question. And Jamie came in and
sat down by the FIRE, just as he had
done Tuesday and Friday nights for
fourteen years; and they talked ofthe
weather, and the cattle, and the crops
and the market, l was going to say,
but no, they didn't talk about that.
And finally Jamie said;
"Jennie, I've known you for a long
time,P
ayes, jamie said she.
"And-rve thought I'd always
like to know you, Jennie..'
"Y-e-s-Jamie."
"And SO I've bought--a lot-Jen.
ME"
"Y.es-J-a.m.i,e,p
"so-that-when."
"Yes-Jamie-yes."
4Nye'fe dead we can lay our bones
together"
The fool had gone and bought a
lot in a graveyard, but Jennie was
not discouraged. She knew her man
weIl-after fourteen years she ought
to-and so she said gently:
Jamie"
"Yes, Jennie"
Don't you think it 'twould be bet,
ter to lay our bones together while
we're are yet alive?"

MRS GAINES AND HER PROPERTY. Gaines, we presume. has had entered up'a great many judgments pro c0Sycsso against the occupants of properties ee which she has been adjudicated to have title. Meantime the lady has been kept bnsily employed before the Masters in Chancery in pressing up her claim to back interest, rents and profits, while the de- fendants have been equally busy and ac- tive in producing evidences of the value of their improvements. The Masters do not appear to have mastered the business committed to them, and their reports will not be handed in before the next term ot court. In the meantime the indefatiga- ble plaintiff relieves and divarts the tedi- um and dulness of this vexatious and wearying work by the perusal of the innu- merable letters sent her from the North soliciting subscriptions to various church. es, charitable institutions, impoverished, but always sympathizing and admiring friends; reverend widowers, poor but de- serving artists soliciting the privilege of painting her potralt; literary bummers who are ambitious of serving up her re- markabIy eventful life m a sensational sketch Then there are letters of tender inquiry as to the branch of the very num- erous Clark family, and suggestions of consangumity of the affectionate subsCrib' CT whose great grandmother was of the Clarks of Ireland, and had very exten- sive connection.
