To a Young Girl.

You think you love the man who
is coming this Sunday night tc
visit you! Suppose he declares
himcelf'' and asks you to become
his wife. Are you prepared to say
to him, 81 love and will trust you
through life with my happiness and
the lives OF our chiIdren"2
He is jolly, gay and handsome,
and all the darts of Cupid are twink
ling in his eyes; but will those eyes
always find expression from the
love of a true soul?
Tonight he says many pleasant
things and draws pretty pictures
for the future.
Does he go tomorrow Ito work
which gives promise of the fulfill
ment fyour desire in life?
Do his ambitions and achieve
ments satisfy you?
Does his everyday LIE shine with
the noble endeavors OF a trust
worthy man?
Ifyou think him one who can nm
lock the very depths of your mind
to what strata of humanity does he
belong in the scale of excellence and
morality? Is he doing all he can
to build up future usefulness and
happiness in which you can share
and feel blessed? These are ques-
tons which the experience of after
years make many women weep in
the bitterness that they were not
thought of before they answered

Your Mother and Sisters are
Women.

Never use lady's name in an
improper place, at an improper time
or in mixed company. Never make
assertions about her that you think
untrue, or illusions that she herself
would blush to hear. When you
meet with men who do not scruple
10 use a Yoman's name in a reckless
manner shun them. Many good.
and worthy woman's character has
been forever ruined and her heart
broken by lie, manufactured by
some villain and repeated where it
should not have been, and in the
presence of those Whose little judg
ment could not deter them from
circulating the foul report. A
SANDER is soon propagsted, and the
smallest thing derogatory to
woman's character will fly on the
wings OF the wind and magnify as
il circulates, until it's monstrous
weight crashes the poor nncon-
scious victim. Your mother and
sisters are women, md as you would
have their fair name untarnished
and their lives unembittered by the
slanderer's bitter tongue, heed the
i'll your oWn word may bring upon
the mother, the sister or the wife
of some fellow creature.-N o.

If Should Die Tonight.

If should die tonight,
Ny friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid it in its resting place,
And deem that death had left it almost fair;
And, laying snow-white flowers against my
hair,
Would smooth it down with careful tender
ness,
And fold my hands with lingering caress.
Poor hands, so empty and so cold to- night.
If / should die Tonight,
Ny friends would call to mind. with loving
thought,
Some kindly deed the icy hand had wroughti
Some gentle word the frozen lips had said;
brands on which the willing feet had sped;
The memory of my seltishness and pride,
Nv hasty words, would all he put aside.
And so | should be loved and mourned to-
night.
If should die tonight.
Even the hearts estranged would turn oree
more to me,
Recalling other days remorsefully.
The eyes that chill me with averted glance
Would look upon me as OF yore, perchance,
And soften, in the old, familiar way.
For who could war with dumb, unconscious
claya
So l might rest, forgiven s all. TO- night.
Oh, friends, pray tonight,
Keep not your KISSED for my dead, cold brow
The way Is lonely, let me feel them now.
Think gently ofme; l am tragel-worn:
Ny faltering feet are pierced with many
thorn.
Forgive, oh, hearts estranged, forgive, plead
When dreamless rest is mine / shall not need
The tenderness for which l long tonight.

a Boy Emperor.

Just think oft, little folks! The
Emperor of China is only six years
old, and he is just getting ready to
go to school. His Empire is very
large one, and he has over four
hundred million subjects. Now
wouldn't you feel curious if you
had command of this vast number
of people2 The young Emperor is
going to school just like other boys,
only be will go to very select
school, and funniest of all, he will
have young companion with him
who must be whipped by the teacher
whenever the young Emperor be.
HAYES badly. Ii you boys and girls
had somebody to take whippings
for you, you might be tempted
sometimes to talk out i'll school,
and do other things to annoy the
teachers. Don't you feel sorry for
that little boy who has to be logged
whenever the the Emperor chooses
to throw paper wads, or put pins
in the teachers chair or whistle out
loud? We hope however, the EN-
peror will be a good boy, just as we
hope all our little folks will be good
children at home and at school.
Children should love and respect
their teachers, for by so doing they
co credit TO themselves and their
parents, and make their teachers
love them.

A Gard to the Public.


For many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments of vast
class of sufferers. Thousands of cures
have been made by them, and, ir fact,
the word failure could not be coupled
with them. Bat within the last two
years cOunterfeits of our medicines have
sprung up, dangerous in their close i'm
itatiOu of our Trade Mark. To secure
the people we have placed upon each
genuine box of Holloway's Ointment
the fac smile of the signature of our
agent, Mr.. Jos. Haydock. To counter
felt is felony. We shall relentlessly
pursue any one who initiates this with
the utmost vigor- of the law. We most
earnestly beg that the great mass of the
American people will aid us in our efforts
to protect their health, and help us in
our task of bringing these most unprin-
cipled men 10 the bar of Justice. Uni
formly refuse to purchase Medicines
to be ours unless Mr.. Jos.
Haydock's signature is attached to each
box of Pills or pot of Ointment, and the
end will soon be reached.

Relief for the Asthmatic.

Melbourne Medical Record: A
smoke from the leaves OF belladonna
possesses much more power in cut
ting short an attack of asthma than
that from stramonium. A long pipe
is the means Of smoking them, the
patient being instructed to draw
the smoke deep into the chest.
If when the attack is at it's height
he has not the power of this, the
leaves may be placed in saucer
containing lighted charcoal or wood
ashes, which should be placed on a
chair in front of the patient, this
chair as well as his own being COW
cred with large sheet, so as to
confine the fumes, before the leaves
are put on the hot charcoal. From
two and half to five grains of the
leaves are sufficient when smoked.
and from 5 to 20 grains when
burned If the smoke is drawn
deeply into the chest, the relief is
immediate, expectoration of phlegm
talking place. 1t is in the spas
modic form of asthma, where there
is little or no expectoration, that the
greatest relief Is obtained; for,
when the tubes are loaded with mu
Gus the smoke cannot get access to
their muscular tissue. The relief
is more marked when the remedy is
used soon after the paroxysm has
commenced, before the spasm pre-
vents access of air to the smaller
tubes and air-cells. Tobacco smok-
ers do not receive same amount of
relief as others. Temporary head
ache of throbbing character may
be produced if the leaves are used |
too freely.

The Illinois Legislature is con-
sidering the feasibility OF the whip
ping post as punishment of wife
heaters. 1t is urged that the
whipping post is a relic of barba-
rism, and that such a spectacle
should not be re-establishea in a
civilized community. In reply to
this a Chicago paper in advocacy
Of the project, says, 1.-The wlte-beaters
might make it dead letter if they
pleased. 1t would only be necessary
for them to quit wife beating, and
the law would cease to operate. A
big ruffian tied to 4 post and wrlth-
inc under the claws of the cat
might be a very unpleasant spec
tacle in a civilized community. 1t
could not be more shocking, how
over, than to see the same ruffian
choking. kicking and mauling a
weak, defenseless woman, guilty of
no worse ofense than that of throw
ing herself away upon such a brute
though that is certainly bad
enough

Violence ever defeats its own
ends. When you cannot drive, you
can always persuade. Few people
will submit to coercion. A gentle
word, kind look, good natured
smile can work wonders and &C
complish miracles. There is a Sc
cret pride in every human heart that
revolts at tyranny. You may or
der and drive an individual, but you
cannot make him respect you. In
the domestic circle, especially, kind
words and looks are most essen
tial to connubial felicity. Children
should never be spoken harshly to.
1t does them no good. If they
commit fault, should be corrected
for 1t in a mild but firm manner,
and the impression it makes upon
them is sure to prove salutary.

One thing is certain, the path of
duty leads to honor, but that into
which the majority of the Commits
sion has unfortunately strayed will
lead to infamy, which will effect the

high positions make men more
sensible Of honor and integrity.
