WucH SIDE IN DRIvING2-0ne Of the
anomalies in American customs is that of a
driver Of a wagon sitting on the right hand
side, while he always turns out to the right
when passing another team. 1t matters not
whether he be on q broad, safe thoroughfare,
or on narrow lane, or crowded city street,
his seat is the same. Thus situated it is very
difficult to see the exposed wheels in passing.
those which require the eye of the driver.
Doubtless this is prominent cause Of the
many collisions between passing teams, aud
the wonder is that moro do not happen.
The custom was brought over by the Phi
grims, but the parts got transposed in the
translation. Across the ocean the driver
sits on the right, but always turns to the
left. In copying the practice we retain tho
useless part, and change the essential, for
some I'm explained reason. Possibly our ia
theirs thought TO be consistent in the matter,
and rather than he right handed in the sit.
ting while left handed in the driving, changed
the matter to suit. At oil events the thing
as now practiced is every way convenient
and is worthy subject Of reform at this
time when reforms are 30 much in favor
And since it is easier to change our position
on the seat than to alter the custom Of turn
ing to the right, let US hcnceforth hand our
friends up to the right side Of the wagon,
while we as driver take the opposite side

sat down, he said "When we get through

got through, l said "Now what about
that familyi saw father and mother
aud Eve children In that pew" And no
said Through tho mercy Of God they are

we're two little children at tho window, aud
bowed 10 both aud, the next time, there
we're three, aud got so that, every time l
passed that house, bowed 10 those children

said TO the children, That man must be a

sec the ministers have that reputation oil
looking happy. Now, next Sunday, she said
i will have some Of you ready, and you can

the next Sunday, when he went by, the chill
dren were ready, and they followed him
from one street to another, until they saw
him enter an independent chapel. Aud the
children entered the chapel, and when they
came home, they told their mother they
never heard such sermon. Aud they went
great many times, and heard more than
forty sermons, aud the minister got their
heart and affections so that they always
went whenever he preached, aud the father
aud mother got no peace, until they were
forced to 60 aud hear him, too and the ia.

weaken it TO the taste. If for an invalid,
who likes milk or cream in it, large pro-
portion Of that will make the draught more
nutritious than il weakened with water.
But if the tea is English breakfast or black
tea (either Of which is far more wholesome
than the other kinds), it should be stepped

strength; and then prepared by turning into
the cup the cream and then tea. BY slightly
roasting the leaves of the pot before the

A Wise Teacher-A Boy Saved.

A boy fifteen years old had been logged
and harshly treated at home and at school
until he had lost his self.respect, and became
utterly reckless Of his character So bad,
indeed, was he, that the trustees in his ma
tive district had caused his expulsion from
the public school. His father, almost in
despair, requested teacher in the neigh
boring district, who was known for his great
success in managing the worst Of boys, to
try his son. On entering the school, the
teacher lent him an interesting book, telling
him he might read it the first day, and not
commence to study until he had become ac-
quainted with the place. That night he told
the boy he thought him capable of becoming
one of the best scholars in the school, and
that if he would try to excel, be should have
every opportunity affored him, which would
enable him to 1isappoint the expectations Of
everybody. The poor outcast opened his
eyes with establishment, amazed that any one
should speak kindly to and be interested in
him. For several weeks he seemed to for
get his hayward habits. and devoted his
mind to study with remarkable success, TO
the surprise of all who knew his history.
One day he became very angry because the
teacher would not aid him, at the moment in
solving problem. He laid down his books
and sat nursing his wrath. and when the
teacher found leisure and offered to aid him
he tartly replied, 81 do not wish it," When
the school was closed the boy was requested
TO remain, doubtless expecting aoggiug as
in former times but what was his astonish
ment when the teacher sat down by his side
and said, Thomas, l thought you were will
ing, and meant to be good boy, and l hat
given you a good name among all your &C
quaintances, which seemed to give then
great joy. Must now go and tell then
that all my hopes for you are crushed, and
that all my kindness toward, and efforts Il
help you, are lost 2" Thomas wept unde
this appeal, for he had expected the whip o.
expulsion from school and from that hou
bis reformation was confirmed. After h'
had found that one at least, scared for hi
SOUL" he became an excellent scholar, ant
was known for exemplary conduct, and
more worthy man than he now is can not b
found in that neighborhood. He dates th
turning-point Of his life and character b
that hour with the teacher at the close Of th'
school on that eventful day.
Now, suppose the teacher had allowe'
his anger to be provoked by the boys sullel
insolence, and he had scolded and whippe'
him, as others had done. instead Of arousin
the boys benevolence and friendship, an
awakening his self-respect and regard for tn
opinion Of others. he would have gone frOI

squeamish People.

In every mixed company Of dozen you
will commonly fad the individual who "Hever
eats vegetables, thank you,"-unless it be
some variety that is out Of season, or that is
not generally cooked. In the matter Of
meats he is equally minciug Roast beef he
kindly patronizes, if he can have particular
slice out Of very particular cut--as he
can, if he is carving! But mutton, pork,
domestic fowls, aud the common run Of
wholesome meats, he firmly declines, with a
mingled air Of conscious martyrdom TO his
own superior tastes, and Of wonderful pity at
your all.embracing likes.
A favorite dodge with the squeamish man
is to sit down to a geuerously-laid table, in
company Of people who like everything
that is good and eat as though they enjoy it,
and cast his eyes in languid manner over
the table-draw down the corners Of his
mouth-and with a severely Spartan air call
for "a little tea and toast" When we see
an able-bodied man, with sound digestion,
mince matters in this way, or pick his way

the things that he never oats-ah," VIC feel

ness Of this sort would seem refreshing by
the side Of such inane squeamishness.
There are cases, of course, Of pure affec-
tatiOn where the person-it is, We fear, us
ually womau-goes home from a sighted
dinner, with her ETHEREAL peculiarities lett as
a memory at the feast, aud regales herself
with cold mutton pie, or roast spare-rib,
behind the pantry door.
ABIDE from the utterly brainless cookery
10 many kitchens, the absurd multiplication
Of dishes is reason enough why some are es-
chewed. Give child the range Of soup
fish, two kinds Of meat, three or four kinds
of vegetables, dessert aud fruit, at single
meal, and it is no wonder his taste becomes
perverted. But give him bread aud milk, OIL
oatmeal, cream and sugar, one kind of meat
aud vegetables, with bread, at meal, and
he will eat it with avidity BY judiciouslV
changing the fare, as is very essential with
children, they will soon learn to "like" al
wholesome, well-oooked and nicely.served
dishes.--W. II. II. Murray.
