in fresh flowers or something new every day /;
even the commonest green thing is better than
nothing. (2) Don't talk about anything un.
pleasant. Talk about something that will
lead the patients thoughts away from his
aches and pains, and leave him in cheerful
and restful state of mind. (S.) Follow the
doctors directions implicitly. a. Never ask
a sick person what he wants to eat. If he
asks for anything that will not injure him, get
it if you can. Never bring him much at a
time. A little bit in dainty dish will some
times tempt the appetite when large quanti'
ty would canse nausea. (5.) Expect sick
persons to be unreasonable. They will fret
and complain, no matter what happens, and
must be borne with Observation-Disclosures.

A HoRsE's BAcK.-The first thing to OBJ
serve in Judging of horse, so far as his back
is concerned, is the length oft. A long back
is a weak back the world over, and in every
instance. By superior excellence Of struc'
ture in other respects, the weakness Of the
back may be, in some measure, made up; but
the horse can never be the horse he would
have been had his back been a shorter one.
We do not care how short horses back is !;
for it is sure evidence that he can carry or
drag heavy weight great distance and not
tire; neither, if he be speedy, will two or
three seasons of turf experience break him
down, as is the case with so many Of our
speedy, long-backed horses.

UNPR1NCIPLED PERFoRMANCE.-A citizen
who should be preparing himself for the un'
known life beyond the grave, instead of being
up to such tricks, removed the setting from bis
big gold ring the other day, leaving mark
ed and decided vacancy. He gets on street
car, holds his hands so that the ring must be
seen, and pretty soon man bends forward
and remarks:
Excuse me, sir, but you have lost the set
from your ring"
$50 1 have" replies the owner, as he looks
around on the floor.
Every passenger began to peer around, and
the man who made the discovery finally asks
"Was it valuable set?"
1T was a thousand dollar diamond" is
the calm reply.
There is another movement on the part OF
passengers. Some look along the seat, some
under it, and some make dive for pearl but
tons and other small objects.
"When did you miss it p asks the first
man, as the search weakens little.
"a year and half ago, when was attend
ing a camp-meeting in Illinois !" is the sad
reply.
Then every passenger straightens up, every
eye looks into vacancy, and not the faintest
smile can be seen on any face. A person
boarding the car just then would wonder what
great man in the city had just died, and if the
passengers were on their way to take sad
farewell look at his remains.

Texas TABLE TALK.-A San Antonio
gentleman recently had occasion to visit q
neighboring town. He did not expect much
in the way of accommodation at the local no.
tel, and in this his anticipations were more
than realized. He was very hungry, but had
the luck to lose most of his appetite before
he got through with his dinner, owing to his
discovering few blonde hairs in the soup.
He thought the landlord would feel very bad
about it, but that gentleman merely remark
3D. as he excavsted perishing fly from the
butter: Gall ask is, Judge, that you don't
fish 'em out with your finger. You have got

were shrewd and thrifty, and had the reputa-
ton of being "close." Finally Mrs. Mulachy
sickened and was about to die. Finding her
self nearing the end, she expressed a desire to
put things in order before that event occurred,
and old Tom prepared to listen.
"Tom," said Mrs. Mulachy, "there's Mrs.
Smith, up at the crossing, she owes me $3.50
for butter; see ye get it."
"Sinsble to the last, my dear; sinsible to

and failures IN duty OF thQse VINO nave pro-
fessedly gone to the Saviour. 1t is sad that
the lives of Gods professed people are SO in
consistent with their professions. None feel
this more than they themselves. The miner
may be disappointed that he finds so little
gold and so much foreign matter. still it is
so, and he continues to toll and dig 80 long as
he can find gold. 1t is the scarcity of gold
that gives it its value, True piety-genuine
godliness-though it be very scarce, is never
theless pearl of great price. Gold is gold,
no matter how much counterfeit coin there may
be in circulation. The simple fact that gold
is counterfeited, shows that it is highly priced.
In the same way that men pretend to be
Christians when they are not, shows that there
are Christians in the world, and that true god
illness is highly priced.
The reasons that many give for not going
to Jesus, are as silly as they are sinfAl. One
says, II am too great sinner to 60 to Jesus; y
another says, II see men in the Church not
as good as l am." All this may be true, and
more too; for aught that you or any one knows
there may be many in the region of hopeless
despair who never we're, during the whole of
their lives, as wicked as you and many in the
Church are. Jesus Christ commands us all
to come to him. If we refuse, we shut the
door of heaven on ourselves. Because hypo.
critics and the self.deceived will be lost, does
not prove that careless neglectors Of the Lamb
of God will be saved. Because some men
are cheats we are not justi6able in becoming
drones. Because some men wilfully do wrong,
although protesting to do right. We are not
warranted in refusing to do right The gra-
cious invitation which Jesus makes to every
man is, "Come unto me and be ye saved"

TRAMpINd PRINrERs. EVERY nows-
paper man must experience annoy,
anco from tramping printers who
beg of him q nights lodging, some
thing to eat, ETC. It is hard to dis
criminato between tho deserving
and tho worthless ones. A ccrtjli-
cate Of membership in some Typo
graphical Union is primu .1ttcic cvi~
dencc of worthiness, but, unfortu-
patclN by no means conclusive.
We would suggest to our friends of
the press that they give no aid to
any of these itincrants unless they
can furnish somo certificate of
worthincss. It would bo GOOD
plan for each newspaper proprietor,
as he finds one deserving, to furnish
him with a certificate to that effect,
and then let the printer get another
certificate from tho next Office, and
80 on. We believe that some of
these trampsa are mon who have simply
been unfortunate, and who honestly
seek employment. These should be
encouraged. But the other and
larger class-lazy, dissipatcd and
sometimes dishonest-should be
turned out Of doors to take care of
themselves.
