Be Courteous.

There are a thousand little cour-
tesies and salutations and compli-
nents of life, but it would be well
if there were still more of them.
Bluntness does not mean honesty,
and recognition of whatever is good
in men does not mean insincerity.
1t would be promotive of happiness
if every time men idescend in the
morning they would look for that
which is comely and praiseworthy,
and single it out, and tell it to their
wives. Oh, if men would only
court after they are married as they
90 before, what joy there would be!
What praise there would be dis
tributed in the community! But
the faults of men are generally first
thought of, and are condemned.
There are multitude of little, i'm
perfect, irregular things in human
conduct; and man says, Il am
not one of those WHO go around
and fiatter folks; l tell them what
j think of them; if they have faults
l hit them strong" But it is not
necessary to be hard and repellent
and unsympathetic in order to be
honest. There is good as well as
evil in men, and it is surely as
worthy of recognition.

WOman's Rights.

Jenny June tells of an ardent
woman's rights woman who went
into mandatory to learn how
many of the hundred and fifty work
ing girls wanted their rights. They
snickered, giggled, muttered some
thing about "woman's rights" said
"shc looked as though she might
wear breeches, and anybody be none
the WISER" and finally and scorn-
fully rejected all overtures. She
next went among a hundred and
fifty female rag-pickers, of whom a
woman, smoking pipe, was presi-
dent. 81 say; look a'herer' the
president screamed to lot of wo-
men and girls, in all sorts of gar
ments, who were picking rags;
"here's woman as wants to know

Old Man.

Bow low the head, boy; do rev.
ence to the old man, as he passes
slowly along. Once like you, the
vicissitudes of life have silvered the
hair and changed the round face to
the worn visage before you. Once
that heart beat with aspirations co
equal to any you have felt; aspira-
tons crushed by disappointment,
as yours are perhaps. destined to be.
Once that form stalked proudly
through the gay scenes of pleasure
the beau ideal of grace; now the
hand of Time, that witbers the
flower of yesterday, has warped
that figure and destroyed that no.
BILE carriage. Once at your age,
he had the thousand thoughts that
pass through your brain-now wish
ing to accomplish something worthy
of nook in fame; anon imagining
life dream that the sooner he
woke from the better. But he has
lived the dream very near through.
The time to awake is very near at
hand; yet his eye ever kindles at
old deeds of daring, and his hand
takes firmer grasp of the staff.
Bow low the head, boy as you
would in old age be reverenced.

Mothers to Other Women's
Sons.

We think there other things still
in the way of contraction against
bar-rooms and liquor saloons when
it lies on mothers and sisters to
bring into use. A beautiful, bright,
cheerful home atmosphere is a
great safeguard to son or BROTH
er. Believe us, dear women, even
though you are tired, though your
head aches, though you feel of all
things in the world like slippers
and easy chairs, it is worth while
to cast off your fatigue and enter
Tain the young men of the house
hold, as you would entertain whom
you cared to honor. Have extra
lights and let the parlor look glow
ing and inviting. Play your new
pieces, sing your new songs, and
ask in the pretty daughter of your
next door neighbor, or the merry
girls from over the way, and have
a good time at home. Then, too,
we have often thought that every
woman who is mother ought to
have motherly feeling for other
women's sons. They come to our
city in scores, boys from farm
houses and from other villages,
and what sort of home do they find?
Their salaries are small, they want
to save something to send to the
old folks, or to lay by for future use,
and the price of board is high.
Now, why can not our homes be
made to open wider doors to just
this class? We once knew a lady
who every Thanksgiving and Christ
mas, was accustomed to gather
about her dinner table all the young
men and women she could hear of
who had no homes to go to on these
festal days, and we thought it a
lovely thing to do, because it was
so full of the inspirations and es-
sence of christian kindness. How
many times might a motherly hand
laid upon his shoulder, womanly
hold upon his heart, save a young
man from drifting into temptations
that he cares little for in hemselves,
but which attract him because he is
lonely and oppressed.

The God of Laughter.

The Turyeytopians worshipped,
among other divinities, n certain
God of Laughter. What was talked
of as the golden chain of Joye, was
nothing but succession of laughs
"a chromatic scale of meriment
reaching from earth to Olympus.
Laughter is to the face of man what
synovia, l think, anatomists call it,
is to to his joints. 1t oils and lu
bricates and makes the human
countenance divine. Without it
our faces would have been rigid,
hyena like. the iniquities of our
heart with no sweet antidote to
work upon them, would~haye made
the face of the best among us a hor-
rid, husky thing, with two sullen.
hungry, cruel lights at the top, for
foreheads would have then gone out
OF fashion, and cavernous hole
below the nose.
The babe shows the divinity of
its origin and end by smiling upon
US, and, then, as worldly wisdom
comes upon the little thing, it
crows. it chuckles, and declares to
him with cars to hear it, the heir
dom of it's immortality. Man may
take triumphant stand upon his
broad grins, and be sweetly tickled
with the knowledge that he alone of
all creatures laughs. Hence, let
him be reverently grateful for the
privilege.-[Dougla Jerold.

To Live In.

A house that is truely home like
has the appearance of being lived in
all over; there are no "best" rooms;
no sunless apartments draped in
dreary linen, with tarlatan covered
pictures and vases; every apartment
is used and enjoyed So throw
open your parlor and spare chamber.
Do not throw a chill over your
rooms by order that is too starch
ed Let the desk, the lounge. and
the rocking chair, find place In the
living room, and do not strive for
too much agreement in the furni-
lures. A variety in furniture is
just now 10 style, but do not adopt
it on that account. 1t is misera-
BILE argument in its favor. Let
flowers and ferns grow in the light
of the windows. And there must
be pictures on the walls, and books
to be used, or our schools are a
farce, for if we do not provide such
things for our children after they
leave school, we are sending them
back into barbarism again. If the
children have a talent for decorat-
ing the home let them employ it in
their leisure hours. Give Mary's
wax fruit and flowers a prominent
place in the parlor, and hang Johns
brackets and carved wood orna-
ments in conspicuous position.
1t will encourage them to further
effort, so that home will soon equal
the education given to our children.

LADIES COLUMN.
HARoLrNE HAROLD, EDITOR.
Fashions.

1t is almost time for the ladies
to begin to look over their ward
robes and lay plans for the coming
spring and summer; some of them
perhaps, with a little ingenuity and
taste can have new suit of their
OLD ones, as there seems to be no
very great change in the style of
goods. Summer silks, though more
costly than last season are very
little changed, the small checks and
hair stripes being still in vogue; and
the dark shades so modest and Ia
dy like, are still worn Grenadines
both black and colored are highly
spoken of, though the open square
mesh patterns give place to arm
ures, damask, and brocaded designs
with preference for the armures.
The milliners are also anticipating
very little change. Stylish fans
will be made entirely of feathers.
Real ostrich feathers are preferred,
but where the purse will not allow
this, lady may cool herself with
proud chanticleer plumage and still
be fashionable.

Moody and the Baby.

Incidents which severely try the
patience Of pastors and congrega-
tions occasionally occur in all
christian churches. They are
among the infelicities of Worship.
A clergyman interrupted in the
manner referred to, may be par
doned for mentally showing an an
noyance which he does not feel at
liberty to express. On one occa-
sion only have seen clergyman
avail himself of an interruption of
this nature to point out a moral.
This occurred last winter at the hip
podrome. 1t was an evening SER
vice. The house was densely land
when was it otherwise?) filled.
Five or six thousand faces and
twice as many ears were looking
and listening to Mr.. Moody. An
imprisoned and eloquent portion
of his sermon was Interrupted by
the loud crying of an infant. Mr..
Moody paused, and, turning TO
those sitting near him, entered into
conversation with them. The
mother soon succeeded in quieting
the child, when Mr.. Moody, with a
cheerful expression of countenance,
resumed, but not more than five
minutes elapsed before a louder
wall was heard. Moody again
paused, and again entered into con-
versation until the mother a second
time succeeded in quieting her child.
In the course of a few minutes,
however, the baby's voice was heard
for 4 third time, the mother aud
father simultaneo usly rising, with
the evident intention TO depart.
That seemed an almost hopeless
undertaking, for they were seated
in the center Of the immense audi
ence. The parents succeeded, how
ever, in reaching the middle aisle.
Mr. Moody, meanwhile, stood en-
couraging them with a benignant
smile. Their nearest way out was
By side door. There was almost
breathless silence as they passed
down the middle aisle. When near
the preacher, he exclaimed! "God
bless that mother. / wish there
were many more christian mothers
possessing the courage to bring
their infants to church when they
cannot leave them safely at home"
The effect was electrical A sense
of relief was felt Throughout the
house. That mothers heart was
not the only one that thanked Mr..
Moody for a seasonable manifesto
ton of sense and sympathy, which
did equal credit to his head and
heart.-7HUrlos0 Weed, IL the ". y.

Hunting the Doodle-Bugs.

remember, remember, those halcyon days
of old,
When often in our childish ways we played
our childish plays;
When slowly sank the sun in his brightest
bed of gold,
parting rays.
l remember, remember, the old and creak-
ing swing,
That hung beneath the locust that stood
there by the gate,
Where often in the moonlight we used to go
and sing
Our childish songs until the night grew
very chill and late.
But on summer evening We loved by moon
toroam,
And find and call the doodle bugs from out
their sandy home.
remember just above the spring, lay many
projecting rocks,
And the earth beneath friendly stones had
ne'er felt rain or sleet;
And DER them stood On aged lynn; abused by
many shocks,
And there the doodle-bugs had made their
house wary and neat.
remember, when with hands and cheeks
bedaubled with sweat and clay,
We eleansed the mossy brooklet of its Of
Tending drugs;
But as a child is prone to do we grew tired OF
tnl6 pay
And hastened to the rocks and knelt and
thus we called the bugs:
doodle bugs, Oh, doodle-bugs, ccme quick
and get your sup,
Doodle bugs Oh. doodle bugs. yo4r house
is burning up"
And neither did we l,ng remain in this po-
sition,
Ere the walls of the doodle-bugs' houses
gan to move,
And soon-aye very scon-in compliance
with our petition,
They quickly came to see what was wanted
there above.
And we with the greatest JOY and eagerness
seized them,
AS If they were some jewels so beautiful
and rare;
But soon through shsme and pity we pen
sively released them,
And laid them again in their sandy houses
there,
Doodle bugs, Oh, doodle-bugs. little
longer stay"
But ah, the sly old doodle bugs soon hide
themselves away.

Card to the Public.

Fer many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments of a vast
class of sufferers. Thousands OF cures
have been made by them, and, in fact,
the word failure could not be coupled
with them. But within the last two
years eounterfeits of our medicines have
sprung up, dangerous in their close inn
itation 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
ieit is felony. We shall relentlessly
pursue any one who initiates this with
the utmost yigor 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 TO the bar OF justice. Uni
formly refuse 10 purchase Medicines
purporting to be ours unless Mr.. Jos.
Haydock's signature is attached to each
box of Pills or pot of Ointment, and the

Woman's Honesty.

The detection of another thief in
the cash room of the treasury af
fords me the opportunity of calling
attention to the superiority of NO
men over men in resisting tempta
ton.
Since the first greenback was
printed the counting and making up
of packages of money have de
yolved entirely upon girls and mat
rons. There are few in Office now
who have been there from the be-
ginning, and billions of dollars have
passed through their hands without
the fraction of a dollar sticking.
Have they been rewarded? No.
Numbers of men like Winslow, the
last thief caught, have been ap-
pointed by political influence at sal
aries double those paid women
and these experienced, tried and
trusted women, who cannot well be
dispensed with, are not only never
promoted, but are treated as though
they should be thankful that they
are permitted TO serve the govern
ment for $75 a month. Sometimes
a package that has been counted
by woman has been found short
in the account, and no matter how
innocent the counter may be, the
amount missing is taken from her
months salary. In almost every
instance of this kind eventually
the thief has been found to be a
male messenger, or some man who
received the package from the lady.
and distracted one or two notes.
