A SNEER.-A. sheer is the seed of a slan~
der. 1t BELTS the character of one who is
willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike.
It is the DEVILS argument. "Doth Job
serve God for naught ~ was his comment
upon the fidelity which he could not deny,
and hence desired to depreciate. Who can
contradict sneer? Who can ward off a
sneer ? No matter how purea reputation
may be, the sneerer, can soil it by uttering
a suspicion which enemies credit and Of
which friends are ignorant. 1t is like a
puff of wind which scatters the thistle
down and does mischief which the hus-
bandman can never undo. Men whose
hearts are full of malice sheer at those
whose goodness reproves them, and their
words and glances, light and empty as
they are, fly to every quarter, like the
breath of pestilenoe, The shifting winds
catch up the vile Infection, and multitudes
who are poisoned by 1t are never reached
by antidotes. No human character is pure
enough to escapes sneer, no reputation
can refute it, nor can human hearts prevent
it. The tongue can no man tame, and
malice within the soul will sneer it's way
out, until Knockers and scoffers and sheer
ers and all who love to make lie, shall
be involved in common ruin in the day
of doom,

cisely thirteen cents on the pound by the

change.
In truth, Mr.. Brown was in tight
place. Every day or two he was called
upon to give up something that tended to
his qualification, although perhaps not es-
sential to his happiness. It positively ap-
peared as if Mrs. Brown had put her wits
to work to see in how many ways she
could retrench. His linen, which had for
merly been sent to laundry (he always
prided himself on the polish and smooth
ness it was sure to receive there), was now
washed at home (minus the gloss. And
why? Because it could be done in the
house at no extra expense, and as times
we're hard and money scarce, it was sheer
nonsense to pay out to laundry.
Mr.. Brown submitted-what else could
he do? He could not complain with
very good grace, so he went to bed shiver-
ing, with firm determination to give
Mrs. Brown no more lessons in retrench-
ment, if that was the way she practiced
them. Before he slept he fell into train
of thought of this nature: eff it is so dis
agreeable for me to give up few gratifi-
cations, pleasures, luxuries, or whatever
they may be termed. how much more diff
cult must it be to exhibit true denial
in matters of greater moment? If have
experienced disappointment at the absence
of cheerful blaze in my bedroom, or a
favorite pastry, Jesse must have felt the
denial of a new cap still more keenly. Ii
I have been inclined to murmur at a din
ner less palatable than ordinary, surely my
wife has harder trial in complying with
my Il begin to suspect), selfish and
thoughtless demands on her time and
strength. Mrs. Brown is a prudent wo-
men, and I wish-I wish 1 hadn't said SO
much about economy; I'll buy her new
silk tomorrow, and for the future do
without something myself when our ex-
penses need curtailing." And with this
excellent purpose strong in his mind, Mr..
Brown fell asleep.
''Mother, when are we to have new bon
nets? [ think we ought to have some
soon," remarked the oldest daughter, the
next day.
$50 do I, my love, but I fear you will
have to wait while longer" replied the
parent, kissing the pleading face that was
so eagerly watching her own. ''Father
has no money to let us have; times are
hard, and"
''Mrs. Brown oblige me by never repeat.
ing that remark again. exclaimed our
"economist.'' "The boys shall have new
caps, the girls new bonnets and you pref
ty silk, this very day! You took wo-
mans way to show me my mistake, and I
own you have done it cleverly, Give us
piece of good beef tomorrow, and I'll cure
my selfshness, and help you to economic.
I am not so ungrateful as you think. nor
will again ask you to make all the sacri-
fees, or struggle alone with high prices
and hard times"
Mr.. Brown was true to his word; he
never did.

Brain Labor.

The following beautiful passage is by the
Rev. J. F. Corning. It will be appreciated
by all ''brain workers.
"While sit at my study table with my
pen in hand, the fingers moving with tardy
PAGES at the beckon of brain, I hear right
below my window, in the adjacent field.
the monotonous ring of a laborer's hoe up
on the corn hills. While he hoes, he whis-
ties hour by hour until the clock strikes
twelve, and then with ravenous appetite
repairs to his bountiful yet simple meal,
only to resume his task again, and pursue
it to the setting of the sun. AS stood at
the window watching his toll, and turned
again to my pen and ink, asked myself
how it was that the man with the hoe will
labor his eight or ten hours day with less
fatigue than the man with his pen three or
four.
''Hugh Miller was great worker with
the shovel and pick-would have made a
good hand in the slate quarry, in grading
a railroad or digging canal. But one
night, as you know, he shot himself in a
fit of nervous fever. What was the differ
ence between the great geologist and the
man with the hoe whistling under my
window? Simply this, the former was the
worker of brain, and the latter a worker
Of muscle, Let this man with the hoe lay
down his husbandry for little while, and
set himself to studying one of the stalks of
corn, or the chemistry of one of these hills
of soil, and very likely he would soon learn
what it is to lose ones appetite, and hear
the clock strike nearly all the night hours
of feverish wakefulness. ''And thus we get
a great organic law of our being, to wit:
that brain work subtracts vitality from
the fountain, while muscle work only
makes draaghts upon one of the ramifying
streams of life. 1t is estimated by scien-
tiic observers that man will use up as
much vital force in working his brains two
hours as he will in working his muscles
eight.''

A Hint for Ugly Girls.

This unfortunate class receives fattering
attention from Mrs. Hawles, who sets her.
self with kindly forethought to show what
amends may be made for the neglect of
nature. In her cart of Beauty Harper
& Bro.) she warns plain girls of the 'small
absolute need men have of Wives;'' that
they, (the girls) must at all risks make
themselves visible so as not to be lost
in the crowded picture of society. s'No
woman need be ugly if she knows her own
points," and can it therefore, be wrong to
wish that "the study ofpoints were made
more an acknowledged art than it is by
those to whom God has given eyes and an
intelligent brain" In order to give girls
some good advice they are divided into
classes and separately appealed to. The
shy girl Is counseled, at whatever cost, to
come out of her shell, to read the papers
and talk about giant gooseberries rather
than be silent. The stupid girl, the most
helpless of lnvisibles, a bore in and out of
her family circle, is to examine herself
steadily, coolly and in private; perhaps she
may discover some latent talent that can
be cultivated. eff she cannot understand
a problem or joke, draw an inference, or
learn language, or play chess, or catch a
tune" it is possible that there may be 9th
er branches Of science or art in which she
may draw attention. "Perhaps she can
act, or cook, or paint, or manage a garden
or comfort the sad, or teach children. -
The author might have added that ugly
girls, with such discovery of talent and
occupation, might find themselves indie
pendent OF marriage, and in a condition
to lead happy, useful lives, until the men
ofitheir choice should come and persuade
them into double bliss.

Josh Billings.

The things that we are positively GER
tain of are few and very seldom in our IA
vor.
"The laborer is worthy of bis hire" but
the hire is not always worthy of the labor
er.
The cunning man is always Welcome to
his victory; as for me [ had rather be a
common fool than cunning cuss.
Men are never so happy and seldom so
innocent, spending their money as they
are making it.
There are lots of folks who are never to
be satisfied with the best there is, but
always want something little better.
1t don't require much genius to find
fault with the crooks of a dogs tail, but
to straighten them out does.
Next to clear conscience, for solid COM
sort, comes an old shoe,
The more man studies himself, the less
fault he will find in his labor.
The hardest working and the poorest
paid people in the world are those that 70
nothing.
AS general rule, the folks who ought
to succeed, are those who do.
Young sinner, recollect one thing, what
you get in this life dishonesty you have
got to divide with the devil, and he always
takes the lions share.
What man gets of this world by acct
dent, he is very apt to lose in the same
way.
The world is full Of sublime truths, and
yet most people spend their time hunting
after vapid curiosities.
When was young man was always
crazy to take hold OF the big end of the
log and do all the lifting, now 1 am old,
and l always seize hold of the smallest end.
and do all the growing.
We all pray for a long life butfew of us
pray for a good one.
If we would grant to others the same
privileges that we claim for ourselves, it
would almost pay to live forever in this
world.
There is not cheaper creature in all
creation than the man who is trying to live
on the reputation of money he has squan-
dered foolishly.
Wise men make the mistakes, and fools
blunder, this is about all the difference be-
tween them.
