A FEARFUL REBUKE.-My sister, when a
girl, had very intimate friend. In time,
both of them were married. My sister moved
to Kentucky, and after an absence of several
years, returned again to the neighborhood
where her old friend resided. In company
with her husband and myself, she called to
see her former playmate. 1t was a pleasant
meeting. The lady's husband was at home,
and while they we're renewing the memories
of their childhood, her child, a bright'eyed
little boy, just old enough to talk, was play.
ing around the room. Presently, the child,
without word of warning, came up to me
and spit in my lap. He then passed to my
brother.in.law, who was sitting next to me,
and was in the act of splitting upon him,
when his father saw him and picking him
quickly up, put him out Of the room and
closed the door, The little fellow cried for a
short while and then commenced deliberately
kicking at the door, He kept this up for
about a minute, when he stopped and COM
menced cursing and swearing, and l have
never heard worse profanity from any one.
His mother was sitting between her husband
and my sister. After moments pause, she
turned to my sister and said:
"Mary, haven't it in my heart to chastise
that child for that as long as his father sets
him the example"
O, thoug hit I never heard man get a
more terrible rebuke.

SALUTATIONS.

To bare the head was originally an act of
submission to gods and rulers. A bow is a
modified prostration A lady's courtesy is a
modified genuhection. Rising and standing
are acts of homage; and when we wave our
hand to friend on the opposite side of the
street. we are unconsciously initiating the
Romans, who used to stand before the images
of their gods solemnly moving the right hand
to the lips and out as if to cast kisses. Again,
men remove the glove when they shake hands
with a lady, custom evidently of feudal orr
gin The knight removed his own gauntlet,
The pressure of which would be too severe for
tue palm of a fair chataiaine, and the custom,
which began in necessity has travelled down to
us as point Of etiquette. Each nation has
it own method of salutation. In Southern
Africa it is the custom to rub toes. In Lap.
land your friend rubs his nose against yours.
The Turk folds his arms upon his breast, and
bows very low. The Moor of Morocco rides
at gallop towards stranger, as though he
would unhorse him, and when close at hand
suddenly halts and fires pistol over the per.
sons head The Egyptian asks you How do
you perspire p and lets his hand fall to his
knees. The Chinese bow low and inquiries,
Have you eaten rice?" The Spaniard says
"God he with you, SIR" or "How do you
stand ?" and the Neapolitan piously remarks,
"Grow in holiness" The German asks, "How
goes it?" and the Frenchman bows profound
" and inquiries, "How do you carry yourselff"
Foreigners are given to embracing, and in
France and Germany the parent kisses his
grown-up son on the forehead, men throw their
arms round the necks of their friends, and
brothers embrace like lovers 1t is curious
sight to Americans, with their natural preju.
dices against publicity in kissing In Eng.
land and America there are three methods of
salutation-the bow, the handshake and the
kiss. The bow is the proper method of salu:
tation between acquaintances in public, and
should never be mere nod, but when made
by gentleman to lady should be accompa.
MED by removal of the hat from the head
and the cigar from the lips. In regard to the
handshake, etiquette is simple. A man has
no right to take lady's hand until it is of:
fered He has even less right to pinch or re-
tain it. A lady should always rise to give
her hand gentleman, of course, never dares
to do so seated There are several varieties
of the kiss-that of respect, on the hand that
of friendship, on the cheeks and forehead !;
and the lovers kiss, which, it is needless to
say is never paraded in public.

she had no use for the money. The only
thing which disturbs her rest now is what to

woman has raised children and set them up
under their own vines and fig trees.

Unity AMID VARIETY.

Extremes meet. God is revealed to US in
the infinitely great, and the infinitely little
in his infinite distance from US, and in his
infinite nearness to US; in his overwhelming
supremacy, and in his lowly condescension.
Christ is revealed to us in his eternal power
and Godhead, no less than in his humble
manhood. Man himself is revealed to him
self, both in bis sublime freedom, and in his
utter dependence. There is all this not con-
tradiction, but deepest harmony. Our zenith
is the nadir of the Hindoos, which proves,
not that the earth is a chaos, but cosmos-a
sphere moving in perfect harmony.
Entering mill one day, We found it filled
with machinery; there were wheels turning
right and left; wheels turning horizontally,
perpendicularly toward the east and toward
the west; there were big wheels and little
wheels, and wheels within wheels; running
in different directions and at different rates of
speed, with noise and clatter utterly perplex-
ing and confusing to an unaccustomed eye
and ear. Yet, obviously, they were all work
ing to one result, in obedience to some design,
and it was only thus that they could work
out the result. Their diversity of motion was
not disorder, but harmony resulting from
combination and unity of purpose.
So with truth, and especially religious
truth, there is much diversity but no contra
diction. The Cathedral at Milan reveals not
all its glories to one gazing at it from a sim
gle point of observation. He must survey it
on all sides, and look into its rich and varied
architecture So we must "walk about Zion''
before we can "tell the towers thereof" We
may believe many things without contradict.
ing truth. We ask not for that "hberalisn,'
which is cloak for scepticism and hypocri-
sy; but for that charity which "believeth all
things hopeth all things, endureth all things" "
God is love, and he requires of US that We
speak the truth in love- Occident.

A SIMPLE REMEDY FOR HOG CHOLERA
The Marion (Ohio) Mirror says: DR.. r. c.
Bowdish, of Big Island, in this county, in
forms US that he has discovered simple rem
edy and cure for hog cholera. In the western
part of the county quite number of hogs
have died during the past winter and summer
Discovering some of his hogs affected with the
disease, he put small quantity of ofturpentine
in the swill feed given to the hogs, and from
the frequent use of this article discovered
speedy cure of the animals. Upon his recon-
mendation other farmers have tried it with
the same effect. For a hog attacked with the
disease, the doctor thinks tablespoonful of
turpentine should be given once day, and
as a preventive, the same quantity once a
week. The remedy is a simple one, and, if
found to be eficacious, it is valuable informa'
ton to the public. At all events it costs but
little to try it.

Hot TEMPER AND RASH AcrIoN.-As an
instance of what hot temper and rash action
can accomplish to ruin life, an affair that
occurred at Sharon, Pa, is one of the best H.
Illustrations. A young lady, Miss Kate Nc
Gilvery, was out driving alone, and when on
State street she desired to get ahead of wa
gon. She called out to the driver to turn
aside so that she could pass. He was deaf,
n6rm old man, named Bell, and at first did
not hear what she said, but after second or
third CALL did as requested. Misunderstand'
ing Mr.. Bells delay, the young lady on her
arrival at home told her father that the old
man had tried to frig hten her horse. Mr..
McGilvery is very impetuous, and this made
him so angry that he started down town to
find Mr.. Bell. He met him in front of a
store, and, without warning, knocked him
throug oh the window, cutting his head badly
thoug n not seriously. Mr.. Bell was removed
to his residence, and his son Richard was so
maddened by his fathers condition that he
determined to punish his assailant. He found
him in front Of the very store where the first
assault had been made, and picking up two
pound brass weight he hurled it at Mr.. Nc
Gilvery's head, fracturirg the skull. The
wounded man died in a few hours. Miss
Kate, the inaoce1t cause of all the trouble,
has lost her reason, and is now a raving ma
MAC, though her physician has slight hopes
that she may recover from the shock. Young
Bell was taken in custody.

He COULDN'T DRINK WINE.-There was
a noble youth who, on being urged to take
wine at the table of famous statesman in
Washington, had the moral courage to refuse
He was poor young man, just beginning
the struggle of life. He brought letters to
the great statesman who kindly invited him
home to dinner.
"Not take a glass of wine ?" said the great
statesman, in wonderment and surprise.
"Not one single glass of wine ?" echoed the
statesman's beautiful and fascinating wife, as
she rose, glass in hand, and, with grace that
would have charmed an anchorite, endeavored
to press it upon him.
NO." replied the heroic youth, resolutely'
gently repelling the profered glass.
What q picture of moral grandeur was
that! A poor, friendless youth refusing wine

beautiful lady.
