Geese or GOOses {?

The particular kind OF q smoothing
iron known among tailOrs as q goose
came near upsetting the reason Of q
bright young clerk and the proprietor
OF Chicago tailoring establish ment
one day this week.
The manager wanted two or three
instruments mentioned, and so told
the clerk, but the latter had sat for
some time writing on the order when
he looked up In q bewildered way and
asked:
"What do you call the plural OF q
tailOr's goOse?"
"Why, geese Is the plural OF geese, /"
said the master.
"WelI, you wouldn't have me write
an order for two tAilors' geese, would
yOu?"
"That doesn't sound hardly sensible
in this connection" replied the pro-
prletor; show would it do TO say two
tailOr's gOoses?"
The boy turned to the dictionary,
and shaking his head, remarked:
"Webster doesn't give any such
plural as that to goose, and amt go
ing to-"
The situation was growing serious,
when the clerk suddenly set to writ
ing with the exclamation, ''NOW III
fix It."
And the order which he soon hand
ed to the head OF the house to sign did
fix il, for It read:
"Messrs. Brown & Co, hardware
dealers, Fifth avenue: Please send me
8 number one tsilOr's goose, andy
the eternal-send me another just like
it."
But further than this the question
Of what is the plural Of tailOr's goose
has not yet been settled in this town,
or any other that we know Of-Chi.

To BE CONTINUED.
Punishment OF The Wicked.

History and observation alike teach
Us that our reapinK will be according
to our sowing that il the product OF
q certain course OF life is happiness,
the end OF 8 different kind Of life
must be misery. 1t is not according
to reason IL the future state Of one
class OF human beings Is to be the
highest possible enjoyment, that an
other class altogether unlike In
character and life should be partakeTs
OF the same joy In any degree what
ever. That in the end obedience to
God will receive lis reward aud dis
obedience its punishment, Ia q firm
conviction OF all who admit the exist
ence and righteous government Of
God. The fact that retributiOn may
be delayed Is no argument that 1t will
not be Inflicted.
But when we come to the Word Of
God, all uncertainty is at once remOv-
ed. We are there taught in the plain
est language, that It shall be well
with the righteous and i'll with the
wicked that those who receive the
Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior,
shall enter into His rest and glory,
and that the wicked who know not
God, and obey not the Gospel OF His
Son, shall go away into everlasting
punishment. The future happiness
OF saints is no more clearly revealed
than Is the future misery OF the ene-
mics Of God. We have no more right
to reject what the Bible tells Of hell,
than to refuse to receive what 1t tell US
of heaven. The knowledge Of both Is
to US by divine inspiration.
And the same terms are used to eX.
press the unending happiness Of
heaven, and the unending misery Of
hell. According to the Holy Scrip
lures We have no more right to eX-
pect the wretchedness and suffering
of the wicked to cease, than we have
to look for a termination Of the bless
edness of those who have fled for ref
uge to lay hold upon the hope set be-
fore them In the Gospel. The con-
tinuanee OF the latter is no more
plainly or fOrcibly expressed than Is
the continuance OF the fOrmer.-PreS-

A Word to Mothers.

Each mother is q historian. She
writes not the history OF empires or Of
nations on paper, but she writes her
own history on the imperisbable mind
OF her child. That tablet and that
history will remain indelible when
time shall be no more. That history
each mother shall meet again, and
read with eternal Joy or unutterable
grief in the coming ages OF eternity.
The thought should weigh on the
mind OF every mother, and render her
deeply circumspect, prayerful, and
faithful in her solemn work Of train
ing up her children for heaven and
Immortality.
The minds of children ere very sus-
ceptible, and easily impressed. a
word, q look, a frOwn may eDgrave
an impression on the mind of the
child which no lapse Of time can ef-
face or wash out. You walk along
the seashore when the tide is out,
and you form characters, or write
words or names in the smooth white
sand which is spread out so clear and
beautiful at your feet, according as
your fancy may dictate but the re-
turning tide shall, in a few hours,
wash out and effsce all that you have
written. Not so the lines and char
acters OF truth and error which your
conduct imprints on the mind Of the
child. There you write impressions
for the everlasting good or i'll of your
child, which neither the floods nor
the storms OF earth can wash out, nor
deaths cold fingers erase, nor the
sIow-moving ages OF eternity oblit-
crate.
How careful, then, should each
mother be ia her treatment OF her
child How prayeriul and how seri-
| Gus, and how earnest to write the
| eternal truths which shall be bis guide
and teacher when her voice shall be
silent in death, and her lips no longer

Ladies who Tan swim.

or course, the greatest fun to those
who are too lazy TO put on bathing
clothes Is to stand on the sand and
watch the pranks Of those who are
afraid OF the smallest wave and con-
ssquently get led into all sorts Of fun
ny predieaments. Then there is the
grand army OF ladies, proud of those
"fine forms" which the water would
completely deprive Of all shape.
They stand by and criticize their
more Venturesome sisters who dare
the waves, but can't swim q stroke,
and st some time or another are
bound to make q laughing stock Of

are the envy Of the countless
ungrAceful ones. They go out up

waves like so many ducks, and, Oi
course, attract attention wherever
they go. They have learned only
what all ladies might learn in 3 few

throw themselves on their backs and
teach themselves in five minutes

Is worn out. Such kind Of culture
Is really not culture. IL Is not farm
ing. The art which returns TO the
soil what the crops take out, and can
keep up the fertility for ages Is true
agriculture. AS Kentucky eOntem-

our older States that have been eulti-
waited for two hundred years that are
richer to-day than sver before. Many
farms in England yield twice a. much

ls the result OF study, experiments and

possible by the education Of farmers,
and which have been encouraged by
farmers societies and public fairs.

farms and make more money, instead

An. stephens to the Children.

Hon. Alexander II. Stephens ad-
dressed the children OF St. James
Siderable length on Sunday afternoon
last, and gave them some excellent
advice. In concluding, he told the
boys if they had aspirations for pu0-
lie position, they should seek it only
to do good TO others that they should
have no other object than to confer
blessings upon their neighbOrs, and
that they should never seek to be
greater than they are good. In the
course OF his remarks he said: Nov,
children, want the humblest and
youngest, and every one to under
stand that there is a spirit going
abroad in this age, inculcating in the
minds Of the philosophers, sO-called,
the idea that man, after all, is only
made up of matter. They are called
mRterialists. These taschers-I may
be pardOned for calling the names Of
some Of them, Spencer and Huxley
their whole philosophy is that there
is no difference between q man and
horse or q dog, and that it is all mat
ter, and when q man dies, his exist
ence, life, passes away, becomes eX-
tinct forever, and that he passes into
the grave just as an inferior animal.
What want to impress upon you,
children, is that the orscles of God, as
given by Moses and handed down by
time immemorisl, teaches no such
doctrine. Little girls, little boys,
never entertain the idea that there
is no difference between you and
the dog, or q horse, or the animal
that is above you. Recollect that
In the first chapter of the Bible
you are taught that into man was
breathed q living soul, an immortal
spirit, that is 20 live hereafter. These
philosophers that l speak Of are at
this time doing more mischief, more
harm to the world, than any other class
of men ever did. They do not under
stand this doctrine that wish to inn
press upon these teachers and upon
this age; the mistake they make be-
tween the organization of nature and
the creation OF mRn-that he was the
highest type Of creation, and into him
was breathed living soul that stamps
upon him immortality. 1t is the doc
trines taught in the Scriptures that 1t
