TEACHERS AND JUVENILE LITERATURE.
If our teachers would employ u little of

manity in Il WY lhev htr " conceive
They would understand better the -rcrpt
source of II great deal that worrlrs aud
disgusts them in the character and drport
ment of their pupils, if they could know
OH what vile meat they feed in their hour,
of leisure. We might, in the same way,
gain little light on the tragedies that so
often appal the good people in the quiet
country homes Of the east and west In
every village there would seem to be one
rotten plank in the sidewalk through
which. every now and then, some lovely
girl vanishes into the black abyss that
yawns beneath our choicest social life. If
the history of the drunkenness. lewdness.
violence and general depravjty sproutcd
in American youth by this vile literature
of corruption could be written, we fancy
no man with II reputation to lose would
fail to demand the uttermost power Of the
law for its suppression The teacher who
seriously disowns the obligation to be a
priesess of purity and love to her schol-
ars, is unfit to stand in an American
school room. Let all good people every

their children, open their eyes and see
what they real.--NcW EHgLtHd J0UrNGL

GENERAL SHERIDAN'S CANNoN.-The
Portland, Orcgan Bee. calls to mind the
following incident of General Sheridan's s
early career on the Pacific coast:
1t was in November, 1854. The Indians
had assailed the blockhouse of the Middle
Cascades, and had the inmates badly
whipped and in imminent danger of being
massacred ut any moment. A courier
was sent flying away to Vancouver, where
Sheridan held the fort at the time. calling
for immediate assistance Everyth ng
around the posts was thrown into great
commotion in the hurry and hustle of
speedy departure.
Sheridan caused an old fashioned iron
cannon to be placed on board small
steamer, then, if we are not mistaken,
under the charge of Captain PulSer, ana
in remarkable short space oil time was
5 canning away up the Columbia. Arriving
1t the Cascades, the cannon was put on
shore and taken to position on the bank OF
he river. in range of the beleaguereu
blUckhouse, which was surrounded by
yelling savages. In the hurry OF the
moment the gun was blaced near the bank
md loaded v,ry heavily. The order was
given, II fearful boom which crashed and
reached throughout the mountains, was
heard, the cannon kicked over the blutl
and went spashing into the Columbia
river, twenty feet below
The artillery was silenced, and Sheridan
was perplexed. But his chagrin was turn
ed 10 Joy us he beheld the savages running
with all their speed for the mountains
yelling as only savages could. They had
never before heard the report of a cannon,
and imagined the judgment day had come
Sheridan won his first victory, saving the
lives of those in the block house and
probably many others, as one success
would have caused raid down the river.
Some of the men said the Indians did not
quit running until they had crossed Snake
river in Idaho. A few years ago the
cannon was recovered and brought to this
city, where we believe, it was broken up
and cast again into II more useful form.

How TO PRESERVE BooTs AND SHOES.
When boots and shoes not in use are
deposited in damp place, they become
covered ordinarily with mould, which
attacks the leather; when deposited in a
dry place, they become hard and wrinkled
ii fact well known to all, though the
remedy may not be. This double disad-
vantage may he avoided if the articles are
first rubbed with rag on which a few
drops of oil of terpentine have been
snrinkled. The oil of terpentine acts
flvorably as preservative to the leather
and it is deterrent to rats and mice, whose
donredations are often rs injurious as
those of temperature,

UNSUCCESSFUL IN HIS LIFE.-l con-
fess that increasing years bring with them
an increasing respect for those who do not
succeed in life, as those words are conf
monty used. Heaven is said to be place
for those who have not succeeded upon
earth; and it is certainly true tnat ceiesLial
oraces do not best thrive and bloom in the
hot blaze of worldly prosperity. Ill sue
cess sometimes arises from supera-
bundance of qualities in themselves good,
from conscience too sensitive, taste too
fastidious. a selfforgetlulness too roman
tic, a modesty too retiring. | will not go
so far as to say, with II living poet, that
The world knows nothing OF the great
est men," but there are forms of greatness
or at least excellence, that die and make
no sign; there are martyrs that miss the
palm. but not the stake; there are heroes
without the laurel, and conquerors without
the triumph.-Hiiard

Prof. Cameron, in his treatise on the
food of animals, gives numerous instances
to show the serious functional and struc-
tural disarrangements which over-feeding
produces in neat stock. In one case he
states that the heart of one-year. old
Southdown wether, fattened on the high
pressure system, was found to be little
more than mass of fat. A four .years.old
Devon heifer, which had won a prize at
the Smith6eld show and was slaughtered
as "prize beef" had its heart nearly all
converted into fat, one of its muscles was
broken up and many of the fibres of others
were ruptured. Its meat was pronounced
wholly unfit for human food. This animal
had been fed twenty-one pounds of OIL
cake, besides other food, per day.

WARNING TO MOTHERS. Mothers, have

how MANY IL little miss is, owing Ito, to the ne
foolish indulgence of parents, as VAN OF

Of modesty and the virtue OF contentment
from their earliest years, and when they

need not stop to wrlle books against This
and such like lips-it stands out on the
ture-ironl Of this system that il saves no
man from sin. Ii is, therefore, Il refuge
OF lies, decciying men into hopes that can
never be realized. 81 of every creed and
system that does not save men from sin
ana tit them for Heaven. And now let
my hearers take notice of what God saws.
He declares" he hail hall sweep away
the refuge of lies, and the waters shall
oNelllOW tuc HluIlS pace. NO DOUBT
this hail is the symbol of Gods displeasure
1t is fit that God should he displeased with
these refugees of lies. He loves truth too
well to have the least sympathy with lies.
He loves the souls of men too deeply to
have any patience with agencies so des-
tructive. Therefore, lie loathes all these
refugees of lies, and has solemnly declared
that the hail shall sweep them all away.
The waters, He declares. shall over flow
the hiding places. Every resort that leaves
the soul in sin is a hiding-pace. All
religious gBectatjon is such, and is nothing
better. To put on the mere appearance
Of devoutness and sanctimony, as if God
could be made TO believe you sincere and
could not see through it all! This is
flimsy hiding place indeed. So of all
religious tormaIity-going through the
forms of worship, being in the church, be-
ing baptizcd-what avais it all unless
their piety be instinct with life, and that
life be the soul of real holiness &C. G.
