Teaching Children 10 Thiuk :.

An address to parents, from the COM
mittee on education of the yearly meeting
of friends, contains this hint: Gas edu-
cation neither begins nor ends with
school, home influence has most i'm
portant part in it. Much depends on the
readiness and patience with which a
child's first questions in the fields OF
knowledge or Of thought are answered.
An encouraging answer will stimulate
thought and Investigation; and an I'M
sympathizing and Indifferent answer will
leave the child to choose inferior ways Of
finding pleasure, and so begin to form
the bias of its life. True Christian ten
derness and seif-denial cannot be better
exercised oftener than in trying to under.
stand the mental difficulties of children
who are not naturally quick ofapprehen-
sion. 1t is in the very early years of life,
generally, that the habit is formed Of
loving to think, and no doubt the scale
has often turned in favor of disliking, on
account of some difficulty which the child
might have been helped to master by
sympathizing parents, but failing in its
efforts, it becomes discouraged, grows
tired of repeated endeavors without the
pleasure of success, takes up the pressing
belief that it cannot think anything out
and goes on through life under this dis
ability; and thus a loss of intellectual
pleasure, and turning of less profitable
source follows, as we'll as failure to fill
up the intended measure OF usefulness

From the N. Y. Herald
- Children Sent For Liquor.
THE GENERAL TERN GIVES A PRETTY
BROAD HINT TO DEALERS.

THE GENERAL TERM GIVES A PRETTY
BROAD HINT TO DEALERS.
| James Ross, bartender in q LIQUOR
saloon in Thirty-night street, near Ninth
avenue, was convicted In the Court of
Special Sessions under the statute of
1877, for the offense of selling liquor TO
minor and fined $25. 1t appeared
from the evidence that boy ten years
old was sent for whiskey by one Martin,
an adult. After purchasing it of Ross
the boy carried the liquor to Martin
without drinking any on the way. After
Martin received it he gave the boy some
of the liquor to drink, and the lad WA
found soon after upon the street in q
state of intoxication. Ross appealed
to the General Term of the Supreme
Court, claiming that the sale was to
Martin and not the boy, and that the lat
ter was mere agent. The Court in An
opinion per curtain affirming the judy
ment says: ''It is an attempt to apply
a principle of commercial law to acrimi-
nal case-that as the boy was the AGENT
of Martin therefore the sale was to Mar
tin as principal. The transaction, how
ever, was between the boy and the pris-
oner. The liquor was applied for by
the boy, delivered to and paid for by
him. There was no disclosure at the
time Of the purchase that it was to be
for any other person. The object Of the
statute was to prevent the sale Of liquors
to minors indiscriminately. There
might be cases of great emergency in
which a sale to a boy at the suggestion
of a physician and for medical purposes
would be justifiable; but the facts In
this case show no such emergency. The
sale was to boy and the Consequences
of that sale were just those which the
statute was designed to prevent, namely,
drunkenness. 1t would be a plain par
version of the statute to hold that un,
der circumstances such as are disclosed
in this case the seller should be relieved
from the penalties imposed.n1e TrB s6oJ

Ewing Formidable.
rom the N. Y. Herald.

Ewing is altogether the most formid-
able candidate that could have been put
into the field against Foster, inasmuch
as he will make the separate greenback
ticket nullity. Ewing only needs to
draw of one-ninth Of the greenback vote
of last year to insure his election. Even
the republican party Of Ohio is more or
less infected with the soft money heresy,
and Ewing has chances of drawing off q
few republican votes. .4.
The liquor trials ct the recent term of
the Superior O0urt Of Norwich cost the
town and State over $4,000. AND they
did not accopplish much either. Forty
oases were discontinued on account Of
Jury . decision that Hchenck- beer Is not
intoxicating. John Ke0ukh was sem
fenced TO jail for 80 DAYS, and TO pay the
costs Of his trial, for selling liquor, which
il said to bs-the nrst time ID ten years
that an sasteru, sOonheoticut mao was
asnt to jail for suoh an offense.

GEORGIA GLEANINGS.

An eleven year old daughter OF
Nathan Taylor, living four miles
from Sylvania, Screven county, was
recently'burned to death by the OK
pIosion of kerosene lamp.
A farmer brought into Thomas
Vile on Saturday last some stalks of
cotton pretty thickly covered with
caterpillar.
The Quitman Reporter thinks that
" half crop of cotton would prove a
great blessing to tho South, They
would become self supporting the
next year.
The Griffin Sun has seen hen
egg which measured six and one half
inches ono way and eight inches the
other 1t weighed quarter of
pound. -Four eggs to pound are
pretty heavy eggs.
A young lady living near Sum,
mervillo found dog the other day
killing one of her fathers sheep, and
in stead of fsinting before his canine
proves, she tied a rope around lis
neck, and forced the dog to accom-
pany her one mile to a neighbours
house, where she had the sheep eater
killed.
The cotton caterpillar has made
is appearance on plantations 10
Lowndes county. The Valdosts
Times says for ten days the destruc-
tive worm has been eating up the
cotton on the places belonging to
Messrs, Joe and Jerry Jones; near
that place. The fly and other evil
denceS Of the destroyer has been
seen on other places "At this stage
of the growing crop, says the Times,
''the worm is likely to do great
damage"
The Telfair South Georgian tells
how a Mr.. Bridges, of Montgomery
county, recently lost fine SOW and
a pig 10 a contest between them and
n raltlesnake. 1t seems that the
snake first bit the pig, then the old
saw attacked the snake and in her
turn was bitten. She succeeded in
killing the snake, but when Mr..
Bridges reached the spot there he
found the reptile and the two animals
lying side by side dead, We always
have been under the impression that
a hog was impervious to the bite Of
a rattlesnalxe, but the South Geor-
gian says the above story is perfectly
reliable.

GOOD SOCIETY

Many parents who have sons and
daughters growing up are anxious
for them to get iuto good society -
This is an honorable an xiety, if it in
terprets good society after some lofty
fashion. Parents, your daughter is
in good society when she is with girls
who are sweet, and pure, and true
hearted ; who are not vain and frivO-
lous; who think of something else
besides dress, or flirting, or marriage;
between whom and their pareuts
there is confidence who are useful
as we'll as ornamental in the house
who cultivate their minds, and train
their hands to skilltul work If So
ciety of this sort is not to be had,
then none at all is preferable to a
worthless article. See to it that you
impress this on your children, aud
above all that you do not encourage
them to think that good society is
matter of fine clothes, or wealth or
boasting to be somebody As you
value your child's soul guard her
against these miserable counterfeits
and impress upon her that intelli"
gence and simplicity, modesty and
goodness, are the only legal coin. -
The Same rule holds to boys as we'll
as girls. You would have these
enter good society.
DO not imagine that you have ac-
complished it when you have got
them with set of boys whose par-
ents are weather. than you, who
dress better than you can afford to,
who pride themselves on their social
position, Good society for boys is
the society of boys who are honest
and straight forward, and who have
no bad habits, who are earnest and
ambitious. They are not in hurry
10 become mon. They are not am
bilious for the company of shallow,
heartless women, old enough to be
their mothers, and not envious of
their friends, who fancy there lie
something grand in dulling all the
edge of their hearts hope upon such
faded favorites There is nothing
sadder than to SEQ young men or
young women priding themselves
upon the society which they enjoy,
when verify it was Dead Sea apple
that will choke them with its dust,
when they seek some generous juicy
fruit to cool their lips aud stay the
hunger of their soul.

THE LAWYER DIDN'T TAKE IT.

THE LAWYER DIDN'T TAKE IT.
Up in New Hampshire is WELL
known eccentric individual, self
constituted curer of all ills; sort Of
universal panacea, "body and soul,
head, heart and conscience doctor"
who, with all his eccentricities, has a
fund of actual wit that is hard to
beat. Not long ago the "doctor"
was called upon the witness stand.
The opposing counsel, who IS said
sometimes to "wet his whistle" with
"liquor pizen," knowing the doctors
peculiarities, ventured, in cross'ex"
aiming him, to show him up bit,
The result will be appreciated.
"What lie your business7" promp-
tly inquired the counsel.
"My business is to do what little
good | can do to my fellow-men,"
modestly replied the doctor.
"But that doesn't answer my ques-
ton" grulily remarked the counsel.

why, Squire, it takes about all
my time to do what | said" remarks
ed the doctor,
"But want something more def
nite," stoutly demanded the counsel.

ness ?"
"That depends upon circumstances,
according to the nature of the case,
explained the doctor. "For in
stance, if were going to begin on
you, the first thing | should do would
be to advise you to sign temperance

The court roared, and the counsel,
as if convinced the doctor was pur-
suing a legitimate and respectable
vocation, proceeded with the singu~
lar cross examination.

WHY u1s DOG BIT HIM.

About a week ago we heard one
of our leading citizens Dragging
about his watch dog. He went on
to say that Nero was splendid
watch dog that he would never CIV,
en- gfowl at a child, and at night he
would tear anybody to pieces he
found sbout the premises

as | put my foot on the gallery.
Nhy, j wouldn't take 5000 for that
deg. He's the most reliable dog in

About three days after the fore>
going conversation took place, one
morning early we met policeman,
leading this identical dog out into
The suburbs.
"Vhat are you going to do with
Major Jones dogY' we wanted to
know.
Gle gave Tim to me to take him
out and shoot him"
"What for 7" we asked in amaze
ment.
"Beeause no tackled the Major
last night on his coming home, and
bit him in several places. 10 won't
be down town fer week"
"But heard the Major say that
dog was Intelligent that he knew
bis step, and wouldn't bite him, no
way he could fix it; that he wouldn't
take 5000 for the animal"
"Tho dog amt to blame for it."
said the policeman, gazing sadly at
poor Nero; "its the Majors own
fault"
GLOW so ?"
"WeIl," responded the policeman,
slowly, "the dog did know his step
and never even growlcd at him be-
fore but last night, for the FIRST
tine since he has had the dog, the
Major came home three hours earlier
than usual, and perfectly sober, and
somehow his step was different from
what it was used to, he didn't tangle
up his legs as much as common, and
The dog was fooled by it, took BIN

him. The dog aiu't to blame he
missed the smell of whiskey he

A GRACIOUS THOUGHT.

The man who meets and loves the
woman of twenty-five is truly fortu>
nate, and she is equally fortunate in
meeting and loving him, says a wri-
ter in feminine journal. At that
ago sbe seldom deceives herself and
is seldom deceived. She may not
have, she is not likely to have
then her first sentimental experi>
ence; bht such experience at such
an age is more than sentimental, and
rarely ever heetiug. She looks back
at the youths she imagined she was
euamored of between sixteen or
eighteen, or even twenty-five, and
they are worse than indifferent or
repellent to her-they are ridicu-
lous to herself. She cannot bu.
think what she has escaped she
cannot but he grateful to her destiny
that her sympathies aud affections
have been reserved for worthy OBJ
ject and higher end. AT twenty
five if ever a woman knows aud eS>
Inmates herself, she is less liable to
emotional or mental mistakes, sho is
far surer Of the future, because she
feels that her fate is, to certain ex'
tent, within her own hsnds. Not
only is she Iovelier and more lovable
and broader and stronger than she
has been, but her welded happiness
and powers of endurance are in q
manner guaranteed.

THE village of Marshallton, in
Pennsylvania, was lately destroyed
by fire. The fire was the work, it
10 supposed, Of an incendiary--a
least bunch Of rags saturated with
coal oil was found in a joiner's shop
among some shavings, which it had
failed to ignite. The disastrous
spread Of the fire, however, was
rather due to accident than design.
At the outbreak of the couflagration
40 apiary took fire and twelve hives
Of infatuated bees, probably 10000
to 100000 in number, were turned
adrift amongst the citizens working
to put out the fire. The result was
that everybody was stung, routed,
and put to flight, and the people who
persisted 40 trying to save their pro.
perty were bunged up and blinded
by the vicious little insects, so that
they had to retire nilIy>willy.
