TAKE TINE TO REST

Most men and women must keep in
the traces, and keep pulling the year
round. All the more, therefore, it is
their duty to take things easier as the
longer days come on. Take longer
rest at noon. Put on less steam when
you are at work. Snatch a Sunday
now and then from the middle of the
week. You can't? You can. People
find time to be sick aud to die. These
can just as easily find time to rest and
keep well. All does not depend on
finishing that dress, or fencing that
field {; or putting up SO much fruit, or
catching SO many customers. Better
that the children should wear old
clothes than that their mothers should
be laid aside by a fevers Better that
the corn crop should be little lighter
than that there should be no one to
harvest it. Put up the store shutters
earlier at night; prepare palmer meals
in the kitchen. Take MONDAY nap
yourself, and give your employees a
chance to go fishing of an afternoon,
now and then. That only is duty
which the Lord lays upon US, and he
is not so hard master as We do
sometimes suppose. ms4

AQUEEx MARRIAGES sronx.

The Allentown, (Penn.) Register
tells it thus: "A rather romantic oc-
currence took place recently in the
Pottstown Post-ofiice. A prominent
clergyman of the borough by accident
left his book, containing the formulas
of the different ordinances of the
Church, lying in the Post. office. W here
he had gone with it in his hand. Dis
covering his loss, he hurried back.
and found it the in hands of young
lady and gentleman, who were read
ing over the cermony of marriage.
He jokingly offered to read it to them,
provided they would give the proper
answers. They consented, - aking
the whole very funny. The minister
read and the couple replied, to the
great delight of one spectator. After
the reverend gentleman had ceased.
he announced to the astonished pair
that they were legally married. They,
however. did not consider the ceremo-
ny binding, and totally ignore it,

There Ia proverb which says what
can be done at any time is never done,
and applies especially to class who
have become slaves to the habit of
Procrastinatioh, the habitual postpon-
ing of everything that they are not
compelled by necessity to do immcdi-
ately. Now delays are not only dam
aging to present prospects, but they
are destructive of ultimate success. A

the greater the advantage to the EN-
ployer. There are those who may
properly be called afternoon men.
They are always busy getting ready
to go to work. In the morning they
walk around, carefully inspect their
duties, and then say:
PLENTY to do to-day. I must go to
work this afternoon
About three o'clock they survey

.One thing and another has pre-
vented me from making any hesdway
to-day. I'll quit, and begin brigh

One day with them is simply the
reflection of another. There is moth
ing accomplished in whole life and
their western sun overtakes them, and
finds no preparation for the wants and
inflrmities of age. There is nothing
to look back upon but squandered
time. One hours exercise in the
morning loostens the muscles of the
limbs, sets the blood dancing in the
veins, and fits man physically and
mentally for the days activity; while
one hours sloth after breakfast pro.
duces a torpor from which it is almost
impossible to rally.

WHAT THE WORLD OWES TO
LABOR.

From the Western Rural. s.tt.fl
In q previous issue we referred to
the Indebtedness Of the world to labor,
mentioning the fact that its glory and
prosperity comes from the wear and
tear of muscle. But the world in its
arrogance .revels amidst its laxuries,
aud dances among its flowers, and in
hales its perfumes, and boasts OF it's
beauty, without remembering the
hand that has been made stiff and hard
by producing them. America glorles
in her New Yorks, and Philadelphiae,
and Baltimores, aud Bostous and Chi.
csgos and St. Louis she listens to the
rustling of the waving grain, which
surges over her broad prairles, like
the ocean over it's bed, with a naughty
realization that she is one vast, fertile
garden spot; she points to her seven
ty-five thousand miles Of railroads.
linking ocean to ocean, and her lakes
to her cotton fields, with pride that
is natural and pardonable she freights
the winds with the music of the spin
die, the forge and the furnace, and
smiles contentedly as it is waited
across oceans and continents, and ech-
oes among the distant mountains and
valleys of the old world she boasts Of
her commerce which feeds and clothes
the nations of the earth, which wear
our cottons, and in the not very dis
tant future will wear our silks, and
eat our meal, cheese, butter and bread
stuffs; she speaks vauntingly of her
thirty billions Of accumulated wealth,
aud prophecies for herself future
that will be grander in the splendors
of civil and religious liberty and in
material prosperity than any nation
has ever yet enjoyed, and yet in this
land of marvellous development and
matchless glory, there is .
growing tendency to despise the arm
that has hewn this national monument
to human enterprise from the rocks
and the forests and which alone can
give 1t additional strength and beauty.
In the admiration of the beautiful
stream that dances and sings and
laughs through the valley, the hidden
spring in the mountain, without which
there would be no stream and no mu

The world. 1t plucks the luscious fruit
and while it eats it, girdles the tree
that bore it; it treads on the bush that
bears the blushing rose, looking only
10 the flower, and is charmed by its
beauty into forgetfulness of what gave
It form and splendor. Six thousand
years have been crystalizing the sweat
Of the human brow into monuments
and cities, aud golden .haryests. aud

THE electric light is just now the

THE electric light is just now the
sensation in Paris. 1t is thus describ-
ed by correspondent IN that city :.
"The intense white glow from the
electric burners directly in front Of
the steps leading up to the Grand OPP
era's entrance, and scattered at inter-
yals across the grand boulevard to the
corner of the new avenue leading to
the Comedie Franchise, made the
spaces for hundreds of yards around
light as day. One of the electric can
dies seems to give as much light as an
hundred gas jets. Gas looks yellow,
and petty beside this grand
fire which defies darkness. For .
city lighted by the new process all the
terrors of midnight would vanish.
Burglars would find their occupation
gone. The assassin would have to
sell his stilletto. Vice Of all kinda
would haye to stink away, disgusted
at the small rewards which it would
obtain when it could no longer walk
in darkness"

THE LATIN UNION.


The Latin Union, so frequently
mentioned in financial discussions, 10
a amosetary league composed of France,
Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Greece,
and is SO named from the mainly Lat
in origin of the nations forming it.
The purpose of the union was to es-
tablish and preserve . uniformity in
the weight and fineness of the coins
of those nations, aud each nation re-
celves the coin OF all the others at par.
The gold coins are one hundred, fifty,
twenty, ten and five franc pieces and
the silver coins five, two and one
franc pieces and fifty and twenty
centimes. The coins are legal tend.
CIR to any amount, for debts due the
State from citizens, but only to the
amount of fifty francs between citizens.
The league was formed in 1865. Since
the decentralization of silver by Ger
many the relative value of that metal
was changed so that restrictions had
to be placed on the amount of silver
coin to be issued by each Government.
A conference was to be held last De-
cember to readjust these restrictions,
but it was postponed until next De-
celnber. The, annual silver coinage
as now allowed is as follows: France
$5. 100000; Italy, $3,6OO,OOO; Belgium,
$l,080.OO0; Switzerland, $750,OOO; /;
Greece, $36O,OOO. The ratio Of gold
to silver in the union is fifteen and
one-half to one. The union exists by.
its own terms till 1880, and if, notice
of dissolution is not given one year in
advance, the contract holds another
fifteen years, and SO on term after
term.
