In order thatno injustice might be done. the

in the window, and he did SO and got in, and
unlocked the door for meand entered. With
the assistance had with me MS two witnesses,
4 commenced to make the seizure, making
an inventory of the articles. Just as COM
menced doing this Mrs. CHASER, wife of the
defendant, came in and commenced making
resistance When read the writ to her and
my authority, asked her if she would pay
the amount to avoid a seizure, saying il she
did not would be compelled to seize. While
L was reading the writ she used vulgar
and yiolent language to me. / placed two
tables and six chairs on the sidewalk, when
she resisted so strongly by holding on to the
chairs and trying to strike me- that l had to
call for an officer, who tried to persuade her

house to get assistance, and on my return 1

properly served.

WILL He SUCCEED In nine cases
out of ten, mans life will not be sue
cess if he does not bear burdens in his
childhood. If the fondness or the vani-
ty of father or mother have kept him
from hard work; if another always
helped him ont at the end of his row /; if
instead of taking his turn at pitching
off, he slowed away all the time-in
short, If what was light always fell to
him, and what was heavy about the
same work to some one else if he has
been permitted to shirk, until Sinking
has become habit, unless a miracle
has been wrought, his life will be q
failure, and the blame will not be half
so much his as that of his weak and
foolish parents.
On the other hand, if a boy has been
brought to do his part, never allowed

to dodge work. whether or not it made

til bearing burdens has become mat

q AHEAD OF TIStE.-Tom Howard
kept a gtu-shop. Tom was a iirst-ciass
workman, but distressingly diiatofy In
the dispatch Of bushes. He weuldmeet
his patrons with positive promise,
which he would renew, month alter
month, until at length his shop became
an armory of unfinished rides aad fowl
ing-pieces. One day his neighbor Smith,
vho.had.suffer repeatedly by Toms
habit Of aprocrastination, entered his
shop. .'Tom," said he, Il want You to
make a gun for my little boy-a small,
weu-dinished piece, and as light in the
berrel as will be CONSTANT with safety
'.Oh, yes" said Tom 81 will make
it immediately-you shall have 1t at
once. But, by the way, how old is the
bow ?" "Well, as to that" replied
Smith, '.the boy is not born yet; but l
thought would better get the gun I'M
der way"

Then the sister left him.


The long summer day had passed !;
twilight deepened and still the thoughts
of youth crowded in retrospect before
him. That night he desired Mable to
write to her brother to come home i'm.
mediately.
For I want to see him ere l die"
he said.
The next day the lawyer was sent
for, and the squlre's will was drawn up,
duly witnessed and signed.
A few weeks later the squire died, but
not before he had embraced his nephew
and given Mable his blessing.
"You shall have the old homestead"
he said to them. II shall not want it
any longer. I am going to house the
lowest and narrowest man ever sleeps
in; and it's only fair the old house
where your father aud I first opened
our eyes should belong to you BOTH
Yes" he repeated, sit shall be yours"
And peaceful look passed over his
face.
His will provided we'll for his wife and
sister, and to Mable and William was
bequeathed the old homestead, together
with bonds and stocks enough to make
them comfortable for life. And thus
ended the enmity of years.

Advice 10 House and Home Builders.

First, let yours cellars be large, well
ventilated and lined with stone or CO.
mented above the level Of the ground.
The breath of life in furnace-heated
houses depends literally on the air of
the cellar, unless there be fiue for
fresh air extending from the furnace out
of doors (never the case in cheap,
SNOWY houses). The air of the whole
house IS sucked through this narrow
and often unclean apartment, the care
of which is usually intrusted to ignorant
servants. We have spoken of the ma
laria engendered by massing quantities
vegetables in the cellars as is the
practice in farm houses during the win
ter. The lining of stone Or cement not
only prevents dampness, but is abso-
lutely necessary in streets through
which the sewers pass, as protection
from rats. Terriers, ferrets, traps or
poison are feeble defense against the
legions which swarm in nightly from a
neighboring culvert.
Next to the cellars comes the kitchen,
which should be large, airy and sunny.
To take no higher ground, convenlences
in this department are a polite invest
men. which pays full interest of cap
ital, especially to the housekeeper who
does not live in large city. Stationa-
ry tubs, closets beneath the dressers for
flour, dry groceries, spices, ETC., will be
likely to tempt into her household
better class Of servants, and when she
is forced to turn cook and baker herself,
will take half the burden from her weary
hands. An addition to comfort much
neglected by builders is the lighting of
stairways. closets and pantries.
We have in our minds eye modest
little house, in closeiy-built neighbour
hood Of dark dwellings. which gives you
a sunny, cheerful welcome in every
corner-a result produced not only by
windows wherever a window is practi-
cable, but by skylight of plate which
sends down sunshine through three
floors of closets, halls and pantries. A
mistake made also, which resolves itself
into question Of humanity, is the plac-
ing the servants chambers on the top
of the house, be that three or seven
stories above the kitchen. Passing
along city street at night, one cannot
look up at the dim lights burning in
these far skyey attics without groan of
compassion for the wearied wretches
dragging themselves to their beds up
yonder after the days hard labor.

A Timely WARNING.-CoOling of
suddenly when heated sends many ofour
farmers youths to an early tomb. 1T is
often matter Of surprise that SO many
farmers boys and girls die of censump-
ton. 1t is thought that abundant exer-
else in the open air is directly opposed to
that disease. So it is; but judgment
and knowledge of the laws of health are
essential to the preservation of health
under any circumstances. When over
heated, cool OF slowly-never in a
strong draught Of air. Gently tanning,
especially if the face is wet with cold
water, will soon produce a delightful
