A Warning.

A desperate recently hung for

con fession, the following warning
Now it is too late for me, but it is
not too late for all young men who
read this, and who are now blessed

once had, but never availed myself
of the opportunity. And now re

very small wrong leads to u greater
one, and so on, until finally nothing
will seem wrong to you if you will
follow the wrong road. Ally first
step was disObedience, next whisky
drinking, next carrying pistols,next
gambling, then murder, and the
next step, l suppose, the gallows.

Selection Of Grapes.

The Rural Home, in making the
excellent recommendation that any
owner of lot should plant 3 few
grape vines for home products, re
commends the following sorts
Champion, as the earliest; Hart
ford, a week later, it is thought
will be supplanted by Champion
Worden, resembling Concord, but
several days earlier; Concord, re
commended with confidence for all /;
Creveling, rather earlier than Com
cord, of excellent quality. with
more compact lunches when alter
mating with Concord, and Delaware
of fine quality and delicate charac-
ter, requiring high culture. Isabel
la, Diaua, Catawba and Iona are to
be recommended only for certain
localities where they succeed
Rogers Hybrids; and more partic
nlarly Salem and Wildner, are men
toned for trial.

Scandal.

1t was the saying of an acquaint-
ance of ours, when his attention was
called to anything that had q
smacking of scandal in it, Il have
so much to do that | cannot hear
it. One-half my time is taken up
with my own business, and the 9th
er half with letting alone that oil
my neighbors." How many excel
lent Lportunities of letting alone
other peoples business are sighted,
and the world is troubled with the
interference of people with what
does not concern them. Neighbor-
hoods are driven crazy by the re-
ports of idle or mischievous people,
who watch for occasions of scandal,
aud lose no opportunity of making
it public regardless of its truth, or
of injury that it inficts upon the
feelings of others. Gossip passes
for facts. and surmise for history;
and the nimble lie runs many a
league while the truth is putting on
its boots.

The kind Of money g man puts
into the contribution box is a test
of his character. An honest, square
dealing, and sincere Christian man
picks out the brightest coin, or the
cleanest bank notes and scrip for
his offering to the Lord. He never
gives anything in that direction
with a flaw in it. But half heart
e d, mean and hating church mem
Der is almost sure to save his bat
tered CON or his ragged and filthy
paper money for the missionary
collection if indeed he gives any
thing to the Lords cause. A child
should be taught from the begin
ming to select only the brightest,
fairest, cleanest OF his treasured
money for gifts into the Lords
treasury. 1t is a shame 10 put any
thing else there.

To Attain Long Life.

He who strives after a long and
pleasant term of life must seek 10
attain continual equanimity, and
carefully to avoid everything which
too violently taxes his feelings.
Nothing more quickly consumes
the vigor of life than the violence
of the emotions of the mind.
We know that anxiety and care
can destroy the healthiest body;
we know that fright and fear, even
excess of joy, becomes deadly. They
who are naturally cool and of a
quiet turn of mind, upon whom no.
thing can make too powerful an i'm
preston, who are not wont to be
excited by either sorrow or great
JOY, have the best chance OF living
long and happily after their man
ner.
Preserve, therefore, under all cir
cumstances, a composure of mind
which no happiness, no misfortune,
can too much disturb.
Love nothing too violently: hate
nothing too passionately; fear moth
ing too strongly.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-03-27

What right has any one endowed
with an ordinary share of intellect
and blessed with a respectable share
of good Health, to despond2 What
is the cause of dependency What
is the meaning of it? The cause is
a weak mind. and the meaning is
sin. Providence never intended that
one of its creatures should be q vic
lin of a desire to feel and look the
gloom of the thunder cloud. Never
despond, friendly reader, for one of
the first entrances OF vice to the
heart is made through the instru-
mentality of dependency. Al
though we cannot expect all the
days and hours to be gilded by sun
shine, we must not for mere mo
meDtary griefs suppose that they
are to be enshrouded in the mists OF
misery, or clouded by the opacity
of sorrow and misfortune. 1t is
better to keep up the spirits and
enjoy life while VIC are able, for We
cannot tell how soon real sorrow
may find US.

Woman's Ruggedness.

"The mortality reports OF Detroit
or any other city in the country
ought to prove the deaths of ten fe-
males TO one male" said a Detroit
physician the other day when speak
ing of the way women dress.
The best physicians advise warm
clothing and proper precautions
when advising with a big, rugged
man, and men follow this advice
and die of lung trouble. This day
You will see men on the streets with
| pulse warmers, heavy oyercoats, fur
caps, wooden underclothing, thick
socks, etc, and ahead and behind
them you will see women in almost
summer attire. Men are brought
up to look on women as frail, deli
cate creatures, and to be tenderly
cared for, and yet there are hun
dreds of them in every town and
city who can and do endure more
to the physical system than men
dare attempt. A woman will wear
two ounce bonntt to church or
the opera and make no complaint.
A man goes out wearing a seal-skin
cap, and perhaps has his ears frost
bitten. Thousands of women wear
cotton stockings all winter long,
while mems toes are nipped through
wooden socks.
The great majority of women
do not wear wooden undercloth-
ing. At least ninsty men out of
every hundred wear either red fan
nels or merinos and yet they seem
to suffer more than women. Men
will wear double mIttens while a
woman will put on kids and seem to
feel no cold. A mans beaver over
coat alone will weigh as much as all
the garments put on by I woman in
this weather, and yet he is the one
who complains of the chilly winds.
We believe that men are oftenest
afflicted with sore throat, coughs,
colds, bronchial and lung disorders,
and yet men wear chest protectors,
take care of their throats and know
the danger of draughts. This being
so, men must either stop thinking
of the female sex as the weaker yes
sci, or it must prove that Overcoats
and woolens are unnecessary to
health and comfort During the
last polar wave which rolled over
this section, when the street car
horses were covered with ice and
the frost on the windows was nearly
quarter of an inch thick, ladies
rode up and down in kid gloves and
light bonnets and made no CON-
plants. though strong, robust men
in the same car, dressed as warmly
as men can dress in tEis country,
could not sit still for the cold.-

washing with soft soap. their hands
viii remain soft and smooth, and
any cracks on the hands will imme-
diately heal up" The editor says
commenting on the above state
ment: In the ordinary careless
manufacture of soap, there is apt
to be sometimes an excess of alkall
or lye above that necessary for
complete specialization. This has
a caustic action on the skin, max
ing it rough and otherwise lnjuring
it. After using soap of this kind,
washing in vinegar removes the ex-
cess of alkali from the hands. Vim
egar being an acid, combines with
the alkali, forming a neutral and
soluble salt

Home influence.

Few can withstand the influence
of home. That is why it should be
youths idea OF purity: his fathe I
Just and honorable, his mother an
angel and his sisters diviEities.
The woman that a man brought up
among ladies, chooses for his WIFE
is sure to be a lady. She may be
humble, even, but she will be re
fined. He has his model always be-
fore him, and they have fashioned
his tastes instinctively. In fact,
hIs whole conduct through life TO-
ward men and women will be better
for refined home.
1t is fact that all parents ought
to realize, that to psovide a happy,
contented and cheerful home is as
much a part of their duty to their
children as to educate them. IL they
are 20 learn that there are many ua
happy marriages in the world, bick
erings and discomfort the knowl-
edge should not come from the ex-
ample of their own parents.
II they are to hear profane and
violent language, it should not
come from the mouth of their IA
Their, and the lad should not be mi
tiated into the wiles of the coquette
by the painted face or extravagant
dress OF his own mother. How
can he be expected to choose a
good wife, when the conduct of has
sisters teaches him that women are
shallow, vain anil conceIted-that
husband hurting is the one idea of
their life-and that doing ones
duty is TO do the best for ones self
in this world. Its because of such
training as this that so many mems
lives are failures.

Two thirds of the youth of the

other third, TO enter the professions.
Yet not more than one merchant in
fifty achieves success and compe

and eminence may be stated as in
about the same proportion. Boys,
