His Manhood Whipped Out.

A few weeks ago well-dressed stran- ger was found dead ill one of the towns contiguous to this city. Several days elapsed before any satisfactory clew to his identity was discovered. It was evil dent, from the appearance of his re- mans, that the man had been gambler, who, for some unknown cause, and in some unknown manner, had come to 8 violent death. An acquaintance-him- self 8 respectable gentleman relates an incident in the life of this gambler, which may prove instructive to parents and others having charge of young per- sons.
 Many years ago, while serving out a term of imprisonment for some offence of which he had been convicted, he en- tered into plan for escape. It proved unsuccessful. He was detected, and as punishment for the attempt he was whipped with the most terrible severity his whole back being made raw by the lash. Referring to th1s, the gambler was 1n the habit of saying that all his manhood was whipped out of him. From that event he became an enemy of the human race, and went from crime to crime, until the sudden end of his crimi- nal career.
 We avail ourselves of the occasion to say that we think serious injury is often done to children by the unnecessary in- fiction upon them of severe corporal punishment. Some children are ex- tremely sensitive, and they feel the degradation much more keenly than the mere inhiction of physical pain. We do not believe the murdered man of whom we have spoken is the only one who has carried through life the burn ing memory of corporal punishment; nor the only one whose nature has been hardened and soured by such a recollection.
 We do not forget that Solomon said, he that spareth the rod hateth his son but, fortunately for the boys of our day, we live under a gentler dispensation, which usually substitutes love and kind ness for the rod in which the faith of the ancients lay.-N y. Ledger.

Sister s., of the Order Of Troyes,
domiciled in French convent, had taken
some sick children but for walk in the
country, the oldest only being eight
years Of age, and they were suddenly as
sailed by sheep-dog, whose jaws were
running with foam. She instantly saw
the danger of her charges, and, reso-
lutely interpreting between the terrified
children and the furious animal, bravely
withstood it's attack. She was severely
bitten, and the dog, excited. by the cries
of the children, endeavored to rush upon
them. Protecting her body with the
children, who hung on her petticoats
shrieking with terror, this brave girl
threw herself courageously on the dog,
and for ten minutes grasped It, rolling
over with it, and thrusting her hand into
it's mouth to prevent its biting tho
children. Some peasants, who came up
at last, beat off and killed the dog. The
sister was found to have fifteen deep
wounds on her hands and Iaccratcd
arms. Skillful care was given to her
wounds, and for short time after her
return to Paris there was some hope that
she might escape the ultimate fate which
there was so much reason to fear. In .
week or two hydrophobia in all its
characteristic symptoms appeared, and
Sister s. died from this fearful disease.
She had saved five lives.

MARTIN HAMMERsMIDT, Juror in the
Dodsworth murder case before Judge
Burnet at Cincinnati, has sued the Com
missioners and Sheriff of Hamilton
County for the sum of five thousand
dollars, he considering that his bodily
health and his business has been ruined
to that extent. For seven days he and
eleven other men were confined in the
jury room, compelled to lie on a straw
mattress laid on the floor, and only
after repeated demands had been made,
and after this plaintiff had already con-
tracted rheumatism, he was provided
with one blanket, which were entirely
insufficient bedding for the season of the
year when said trial was had. He further
says that the room in which these twelve
men were kept was never, during all the
time they were there confined, once
cleaned; that the water-closets were out
of order and infected the air in said room
in which he was kept with an unwhole-
some and dangerous odor; that he was
exposed to the unclean and sickening
behavior of some of the jurors. In con-
sequence of which he became sore and
suffering, and had to sustain great pain
and bodily injury. We trust, if this
record is true, the juror will gain his
damages to the full, and SO compel re-
form.

Earth from BOrneO.

In the last century merchant vessel
came into the London docks with yellow
fever, and the captain was suffering Sc
verely from it, and no one would go
near the sufferers. DIR. Fothergill, how
ever, went on board partly out of COM
passion and partly from his desire to
study disease which was new to him,
and he took the captain to his own house
and finally succeeded in getting him
through the fever. When the captain
recovered he inquired from the doctor
what he was in his debt, but Fothergill
refused to receive any payment. The
captain then wished to know how he
could compensate him for such kind
ness, upon which the doctor replied that
there was one thing he could do for
him; if he were making voyage to the
East, and would pass through the Straits
of Macassar, by Borneo, he should be
glad if he would bring him back two
barrels full of the earth of Borneo,
which the captain promised to do.
However, when he reached the spot on
his voyage out, he thought of the ridi-
oule he must experience from his crew
in so strange an undertaking and his
heart smote him, and he sailed through
the straits without fulfilling his inten-
ton. On his return by the same route
the same thing happened again through
his fear of the SCOTS of his crew. How
ever, after he had left the straits two
hundred or possibly three hundred miles
behind him, his conscience smote him at
the non-fulfillment of his promise, and
he put the ships head about, returned
to the spot and filed the barrels with
the earth. On his return he sent it to
DIR. Fothergill, who had the surface of a
piece of ground thoroughly burned, and
he then sprinkled the Borneo earth on
it, when it is known fact that there
came up all kinds of new and curious
plants, said to be one hundred different
sorts, some geraniums and new flowers,
which have subsequently spread
throughout the gardens of England.

A Soldiers Zeal.

Some grateful officers of the Army of
the Caucasus sent letter to the Moscow
Gazette, calling attention to the zeal and
courage displayed by a private soldier
named Stepkin, who during difficult
retreat, had charge of a. tea urn, and
kept detachmentof five battalions we'll
supplied at various hating places with
tea. During the retreat from Little
Yagne," says the letter, " the Fourth
Detachment of Ardahan, consisting only
of five battalions, supported by twelve
guns, received orders to retire before
fourteen Turkish battalions with an
artillery force twice as strong as cur own.
The chief of the detachment, Major
General Komaroff, having assembled tho
battalion commanders, informed them
that the retreat would be very trying,
but that he would order halt from
time to time, when te. zsc:.aa. Is
.Stepkin, light up the samoyar,'
cried Komarof, and the water in Step
kin's urn was soon brought to boiling
point" On the march, Stepkin took
charge of the "self-boiler," and, says
the letter, !" protected it against the
balls of the enemy, thinking Of the
many wounded whom the tea would
comfort"

Grains Of Gold.

The only way to make friend is to be
one.
Discretion in speech is more than
eloquence.
First convince men by substantial acts
of kindness that you love them.
1t is only those who have done moth
ing who fancy they can do everything.
He who is not the better for his re-
ligious knowledge, will assuredly be the
worse for it.
The worst kind of men are those who
do not care when men see them doing
wrong.
The more perfect we are, the more gen
tie and quiet we become towards the de-
fects of others,
The best society and conversation in
the world is that in which the heart has
greater share than the head.
There are some persons on whom their
faults sit well, and others who are made
ungraceful by their good qualities.
The Germans have this good proverb
That thefts never enrich aims never inn
poverish nor prayers hinder work.
A man should never be ashamed to
own no was in Che wrong, which is but
saying in other words that he is wiser to-
day than he was yesterday.
The three virtues of temperance, thrift
and religion, which are within the reach
of every man, will secure, in his age, al
most any desirable object for any family,
and scores of objects which no legislation
whatever can secure without individual
temperance, thrift and religion.
A pure and good woman is a great
power. Whether arising from the cour-
age that is founded on sense OF re-
sponsibility, or whether unconsciously
exercised and dictated only by her noble
instinct, she has great power in model
ing the characters and regulating the
conducts and lives of those who are un.
der her influence.
1t is into the minute circumstances OF
a mans conduct that we are to inquire
for his real character. In these he Is un.
der the influence of his natural DISPOSE
ton, and acts for himself while in his
more open and important actions he may
be drawn by public opinions, and many
other external motives, from that bias
which his disposition would have taken.
For want OF selfreliance and decision
of character, thousands are submerged
in their first essays to make the voyage
of life. Disappointed and chagrined al
this, they underestimate their own capa
cities, and thenceforth, relying on others
they take and keep subordinate posi-
ton, from which they rise, when they
rise at all, with the utmost difficulty.
