SANDER.

Never use lady's name in an i'm
proper place, at an improper time, or in
mixed company. Never make assertions
about her that you think untrue, or allu-
sions that she herself would blush to
hear. When you meet with men who
do not scruple to use wonan's name in
q reckless manner, shun them; they are
the very worst members of the commu-
nifty: men lost to every sense of honor,
every feeling of humanity. Many
good and worthy wonan'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 presence of those whose lit
tie judgment could not deter them from
circulating the foul and Dragging report.
A SANDER is soon propagated, and the
smallest thing derogatory to a woman's
character will fly on the wings of the
wind and magnify as it circulates, until
its monstrous weight crushes the poor
unconscious victim. Respect the name
OF woman. Y&ur mother and sisters are
women, and as you would have their fair
name untarnished, and their lives unim-,
bittered by the slanderer's bitter tongue
heed the Ill Your own words-ruay bring.

The Eclipses OF 1877.

During the year 1877 there will be
three ecipses of the sun and two of the
moon. The first is total eclipse of the
moon, on February ~, partly visible
from England and invisible in America,
the moon being below the horizon
through the whole continuance of the
eclipse.
The second eclipse is partial eclipse
of the sun, invisible from both Europe
and America. Its greatest phase is
about one-third of the suns diameter. 1t
begins on March IA.
The third is a partial eclipse of the
sun, August s, invisible both in Europe
and America.
The fourth is a total eclipse of the
moon, visible from England and partly
in the United States, taking place on
August %.
The fifth, and last, is partial eclipse
of the sun on September 6. This eclipse
will be seen from Cape Horn and parts
of South America, but not from North
America.
In eighteen years there are usually
about seventy ecipses-twenty-nine of
the moon and forty-one of the sun, or
nearly two to three. Seven is the great
est number of eclipses that can occur in
a wear, and two the least. Ii there are
seven, five must be Of the sun and two
of the moon. If only two, then both
must be of the sun, for in every year
there are two solar ecipses.

Incidents of the Disaster.

When all the various and strange Incl
dents of the dread Lake Shore railroad
disaster will be told it is hard to say, but
many things occurred which are remark
able and worthy of special note. An
Irishman who lived near the bridge told
the reporter that he was among the first
at the scene and there saw woman and
child hanging to burning car. He first
reached the woman, waded through three
feet of snow and water, and, after Sc
we're exertion, placed her on dry ground.
He then went back after the child, which
hung by a single hand to the car. Be
fore he could reach tia fame shot up and
enveloped it from sight. 1t had dropped
and sunk into the water below.
Another man was seen to emerge from
a car and in his frantic wildness forgot a
wife and child behind him. He had
reached place of safety before his loss
came to him. He went back to the car
door, saw his dear ones in the flames be-
yond recovery, and with remark to
some one near that if they perished he
would too, he rushed into the car and
was soon enveloped in the flames, from
which he never reappeared. No one
knew who he was.
A remarkable escape was made by Che
family of Judson Martin, a gentleman
from New York State, who, with his wife
and two children, was on his way to JEFF
ferson, Ohio, to take up new home.
He first escaped and then some one got
out his wife. She was scarcely on shore
when she shrieked for her children.
They were yet cGnging to platform out
in the middle Of the wreck. Some hero
whose name could not be learned plunged
in, and, grasping the children one at a
time, threw them into the hands OF an
other man, who stood with open arms to
receive them. The younger child was
injured somewhat by the fall and the ter
rife crash of the timbers. The family
were all saved.
A citizen of Ashtabula, who was at the
burning wreck few minutes after the ac-
cident, says that he saw two women leap
from car and plunge into the water and
disappear under the ice.

A Conscientious Plumber.

A gentleman living in Boston has dis
covered q remarkable plumber, who
richly deserves such fame as he may
obtain in newspaper paragraph. One
Sunday morning this gentleman afore-
said found his water pipe frozen. After
two hours unsuccessful work he went
forth and secured plumber, who was
able to obviate the difficulty. The citi-
zen wished to settle at once, but the
plumber refused any pay, stating that
he could not refuse such a call on Sun
day, as delay often caused damage, but
he could not conscientiously accept
money for work done On Sunday.

AChild's Wish.

BE my fary, mother,
Give mea wish to-day;
Something's well in sunshine
As when the raindrops play"
And if we're fairy,
With butone wish to spare,
What would I give thee, darling,
To quietthine earnest prayerr'
I'D like aEttle brook, mother,
All for INV 5ery own,
To laughall day among the trees.
And shine on the mosSy stone;
'To run right under the window.
And singmc fast asleep;
With soft steps and a tender sound.
Over the grass to creep.
Make it run down the hill, mother.
With lesp like tinkling bell,
So fast I never could catch the leaf
That intoh fountain fell.
"Make itss wild as frightened bird
As crazy IS bee,
withsa noise bike the baby's funny laugh
That is the brook for me"

Another Warning.

The details of the destruction by fire
of the Convent of st. Elizabeth, near
Toilette, show an astonishing carelessness
on the part of the managers OF that ~
stitution. There were one hundred per-
sons, nuns and children, in the building,
which was entirely Of wood. In the VII
lage itself there was no fire apparatus
whatever. The flames Of course worked
their own will the structure was entirely
destroyed, ana with it perished thirteen
persons, more or less. The question
naturally arises, How many boarding
schools, converts, hospitals, retreats for
the poor aud aged, great homes for Or
phan children, are there which are ex-
posed to like dreadful danger? In how
many instances has it been thought ne
cessary to take extraordinary precautions
against fire, which should it occur, can
hardly fail to prove fatal to considerable
numbers?
owe are very much afraid Of fire,
said the principal of young ladies' sem,
mary upon certain occasion. They had
reason to be, and the fear at least was
something. In many institutions, we are
happy to believe that all possible pre-
cautions are taken; but there are others
in which the neglect is scandalous and
the risk which is run frightful. Indeed,
there is nothing more astonishing than
the recklessness with which fiery cal
amity is almost invited, not only in
schools. but in public houses, theaters,
and other places Of human congregation.
In the large cities precautions are numer-
Gus, and, if the law is obeyed, usually
sufficient. Outside the cities there is in
hundreds of places no provision worth
mentioning. The penalty for this may
be long in coming, but it is pretty sure
to come in terror and death at last.

appears with sharp hoe just below
surface. Keep the ground thoronght 3
hoed in this way. The thistlss W. e.
kept down, and the potatoe sl9
labor bestszsed upon them. The next
year repeat the process, planting beans, },
corn, or roots in the ground, after which
khe thistles will be very little trQgs s3e =
but what few grow must be cut down -
soon al they appear. To be perfectly
sure, hoed crops should be grown the

A Warming to Dogs.

The great Dr. Watts said: "Let
dogs delight to bark and bite;;" AMI so
they do, but not without coming to
grief. The other day a handsome car
rage was rolling along the road. I'm
der the forward axle galloped a sleek
coach-dog. His pace was SO timed with
that of the horses that he did not
appear to vary hairs breadth in his
position. Heknew every dog was look
ing at him and admiring him, but he
didn't let that turn his head Other
dogs came out and scowled at him but
they Were too discreet to attempt to in
terfere with him. So on he went with
beautiful regularity, his brass collar
with his masters name glittering in the
sun, and all was peace till surly cur
riding on wagon full of sacks, and
barking at every thing that passed,
caught sight of the sleek dog galloping
so composedly beneath the handsome
carriage. The country dog was lank
animal, with dun-colored, tangled hair,
and desire to show off, Without the
faintest hesitation he sprang from the
sacks and made headlong dash on the
spotted coach-dog. Whether he mis-
took the length of his stride or the revo-
luton of the wheels is not known, but
he had his mouth open and his teeth
in readiness for bite, when the for
ward wheel struck him and knocked
him forward, and the off horse gave him
a kick that sent him back again, and
the forward wheel passed over him and
turned him over, and the hind wheel
climbed upon him and went gringingly
down on the other side. And then the
carriage went on as before, leaving the
country dog on his back, yelping with
bis whole heart, and thinking of green
fields and outrageous trees, and what
an egregious ass he had made of him.
self. Let this be warning to the do
nestle intelligent dog.--Phil4delphia

Mountains Climbing.

The greatest altitude which has been
reached by mountain-climbers was at
tanned in Cashmere by Mr.. johnson,
who some years ago mounted to q spot
22,300 feet above the sea. Aeronauts
have assembled 10000 feet, and returned
with safety. 1t is supposed by noun
taineers that $4,000 or $4,000 feet is the
utmest height that will ever be trod by
human steps. That life can be sup
ported at this altitude has been proved
by the Adventures who have dared the
dangers of the upper air in a balloon.
During the last summer Mons. Weiner
assembled Mt. Illimani, one of the lof-
test peaks of the Bolivian Andes. The
height of this mountain has been vari-
ously estimated, Mr.. Pentland giving ii
an altitude of "a 200 feet; Mr.. Minchin
setting it at 81, 224 feet; and Mr.. Weiner
himself making it to be only 20, 1l2 feet
Few ascents to the height Of 81 900 feet
have been recorded. Hunters on the
Himalayas often chase their game to
the height of 10000 feet; and natives
living near Mt. Demarend, near Tehe-
ran, frequently climb to the summit,
above 10000 feet, to gather sulphur
from the crater.
