IRAscIBILITY OF TEMpER.-The
greatest plague of life is a bad temper.
1t is great waste of time to complain
of other peoples the best thing is to
amend your own and the next best
quality is to learn to bear with what
we meet in Others Feasibility is very
injurious to health, and so, in fact, is
every morbid indulgence of our infe-
rior nature--low spirits, melancholy,
difhdence, disiaclination for ordinary
duties, discomfort fretfulness, even
down to mental lassitude, Incidence
or despair-are very inimical to en-
joyment in life, and every possible
effort should be made to cast them all
to the winds, and look unblushingly
into the truth Of the fact. tbs aston
ishing what little reflection will do
tile fears are mostly imaginary, and
with one dash of resolution may all
be overcome.

The modern old maid is round and
jolly, two dimples in her cheeks, and
has laugh as musica! as bobolink's s
soag. She wears nicely fitting dresses,
and cuoning little ornaments around
her plump throat, and becoming little
kno.s and bows. She goes to concerts
and parties, and suppers, and lectures
and matinees, and she don't go alone.
She carries a dainty parasol, and
wears killing bonnets, and has live
poets and philosophers in her train,
Ia fact The modern old maid is as good
as the modern young maid she has
sense and conversation, as dimples anu
curves, and she has bank- book and
dividends.-BoSton advertiser.

never corrected any of his mistakes;
and he who was never wise enough to
find out any mistakes in himself, will
not be charitable enough to excuse

Literal Compliance.

"Cot my hair" said the customer
as he seated himself in BARRIERS chair,
land be sure you let it run down the
back of my neck, referring, Of course,
to the particular style of the cut.
The barber was a Western artist,
having lately arrived in Oil City from
ST. Louis.
After clipping away for some time
he concluded that perhaps the hair
wasn't running down his customers
neck as fast as that individual might
desire it-although Tor the life of him
he couldn't see why he should want
it to run down at all-and when
quantity had accumulated inside his
shirt collar the accommodating barber
showed it down and out Of sight with
the handle Of the brush.
This performance was repeated two
VI llllee times, ana me customer be-
gan to realize what was going on.
HenceIorUaro he took q lively inter
ests iii the proceedings. He said
"What in the name of The bird will
the broad and sweeping wing are you
doing?''
ut didn't seem to run down. said
the barber, apologetically, $50 I cram
med it down with the brush"
The customer acted like man who
had just made the discovery that cat
had built nest between his shoulder
blades and had kittens there, so he
yelled:
Gram your crammed head to cram
nation!' and then turning double
sommersault out of his chair he kick
ed at the reaec; ion of 'he ba, ber in
the loking glass. The barber escaped.
OF A CUP OF CoFFEE.--It has been
truthfully said that even in these en-
lighened days, and in tie lands most
blessed by the influence of civi'iza-
ton, there are thousands upon thous-
ands of persons born into the world
who live long lives and then go down
into their graves without ever having
tasted a good cup Of coffee. There
are many reasons for this. and the
principal one, of course, must be that
few persons know hsw to make good
coffee. And yet there have been
thousands of recipes and directions
published which teach US how to make
good coffee by boiling it by not bill
ing it by confning the essence and
aroma by making it in an open ves-
sell by sleeping it; by not sleeping
it by grinding it fine; by grinding it
course, and by many other methods
opposed to each other and to all these.
Now we do not intend to try to tell
anybody how to make good coffee, but
we wish to say word about the treat
ment of the coffee after it is made.
And on this treatment depends it's ex-
cellence, brew it as you may. The
rule is simple never deca1at 1t, What
ever else you do about it bring it to
the table in the vessel in which it
was made. A handsome urn or gor-
geous cofee-pot is the grave of good
coffee. Of course, if it is considered
more desirable to have the pot look
we'll than to have the coffee taste well'
we have nothing more to say. But
when hot coffee is empted from one
vessel to another, the kitchen ceiling
generally receives that essence-laden
vapor which should have found its
way into the cups on the breakfast
table. And one word about these
cups. When the coffee enters them it
should find the milk or cream already
there. By observing these rules, Or
dinary coffee, made in almost any way,
is often very palatable indeed.

The VEST PocKET.-A young man
from one of the suburban districts
was in tailor shop getting measured
for vest the other afternoon. "Mar-
ried or unmarried p queried the mer-
chant, after taking down the number
"Unmarried,' said the young man
with blush. "Inside pocket on the
left hand side, then,' observed the
tailor, as if to himself making a mem
orandum to that effect. After a mo-
ment's pause, the young man from the
suburbs inquired: "What difference
does my being married or unmarried
make with the inside pocket Of the
vest p "Ah, my dear SIR observed
the tailor with a bland smile, all the
difference possible, as you must see.
Being unmarried, you want the pocket
on the left side, so as to bring the
young lady's picture next to your
heart" But don't the married men
also want his wife's picture next to
his heart ?" queried the anxious
youth. Possibly there is an instance
of that kind" said the tailor, arching
his eyebrows, "but | never heard Of
it,"

Chinese Crualty.

The greatest attribute of Chinese
General is considered to be his STRAIT
egy. He is worth nothing if he fails
to lead his enemy into making false
step. The hero of the hour, on this
account, is a general who led a body
of troops against a walled city held
by the insurgents. He besieged them,
and in due course of time they plead
ed for terms. Laudable promises
were made by the dozen, the "sine
qua non being they should lay down
their arms. This was done, when the
generals dispatches inform us, they
were massacred as fast as it was pos
sible to do 80, but the leader was put
to death by the extreme torture"
This consideration in winding a wire
very tightly about the entire head and
body TO the feet, intervals of an inch
beng lef. between each turn. This
brought the flesh into wales which
were quickly and neatly sliced off by
keen knives. The scene ended by de-
capitating the still living skeleton.
A very great deal of evidence in
criminal cases elicted by the torture,
unless that given comedies with the
ideas of the magistrate.
Kneeling on chains for many hours,
the lash descending at the slightest
change of posture, pinching the fng-
ers in vices made of split bamboo; en-
twining metal tubes about the body
and extremities, in which boiling flu
id is poured, soaring the flesh where
ever it touches; wearing three feet
square, twenty pound wooden collar
day and night for weeks, being unable
to reach the mouth with the hand, and
exposed to the gaze of the passers-by
in the locality of the offence; placing
in cage with the head secured in a
collar which forms roof, the toes
just touching the ground, and left to
die by starvation and strangulation
beheading and cutting into 'ten thons-
and pieces" are among the usual pun
ishments of this ''enlightened' race.

The DUTIES OF EDUCATED WOMEN.
The education of weman, like that
of men, should tend to prepare them
for their duties; the difference of their
employment will of course render
their duties different. 1t is the duty
of woman to educate her children,
the boys until a certain age, and girls
until they are married. How much
wisdom is requisite to manage the
mind and disposition of each child SO
as to guide their intellects. manage
their humors, to anticipate the effects
to their growing passions, and to rec
tify their errors. How much pru-
dence should mother have in order
to maintain her authority over them,
without losing their friendship and
their confidence. Surely the mother
of a family ought to possess a religious,
nature, finn mind, acquainted with the
human heart. St. Paul attaches such
Importance to the education of child
ren, that he says it is by mothers the
souls Of children are saved"
We shall not attempt to specify all
that they ought to know, in order to
educate their children we'll. To do
| this, it would be necessary to enter
into an entire detail Of heir studies
but we must not omit the subject of
economy. Woman in general or apt
to neglect it, and think it proper only
for the lower classes those woman,
especially, who are brought up in
idleness and Incidence, disdain
the details of domestic life. 1t is
nevertheless, from ignorance that the
science of economy is despised. The
polished Greeks and Romans took care
to instruct themselve in this art. The
mind is of a low order which can only
speak we'll and cannot act well +; we
often meet with women who utter
wise maxims, yet, nevertheless, are
very frivolous in their conduct.
