Beauty of Neatness.

A woman may be handsome, or
remarka bly, active in various ways;
but if she is not personally neat, she
cannot'hope to win admiration. Fine
clothes will not conceal the sfattern.
A young woman with her hair al
ways in disorder, and her clothes
hanging about her as if suspended
from a prop, is always .repulsive.
Slattern is written upon her person
from the crown of her head to the
soles of her feet, and if she wins q
husband he turns out in all proba-
billy, either to be an idle fool or a
drunken ruffian. The bringing up
daughters to be able TO work, talk
like honest, sensible young women,
is the special task of all mothers.
and in the industrial ranks there is
imposed also the prime obligations
of learning to respect household
work for it's own sake, and the com
fort and happiness it will bring in
the future. Homework is drudgery,
but it must be done by somebody,
and had better be done we'll than i'll

There is no use in putting up the
motto "God bless our home," if the
father is rough old BEAR and the
spirit of discourtesy and rudeness
is taught by the parents to the chill
dren, and by the older to the
younger There is no use in put
ting up the motto, 1.-The Lord will
provide" while the father is shift
less, the mother is shiftless, the
boys refuse to- VOL k, and the girls
busy themselves over gewgaws and
fnery. There is no use in putting
up the motto, -"The Greatest OF
these is Charity" while the tongue
OF the back bitter wags in the family
and silly gossip is dispensed at the
tea-table. There Is is no use of
placing up the motto The liberal
man deviseth liberal things" while
the money chinks in the pockets of
the head of the household, grooming
to get out and see the light of day,
and there are dollars and dimes for
wines and tobacco and other luxu
ries, but positively not one cent for
the church. In how many homes
are these notices standing-let us
say hanging-sareasms, which serve
only to paint jest and adorn sat
.rel The beauty Of quiet lives, of
truthful, hop fui, free HANDED, free
hearted, charitable lives, is one OF
surprising loveliness, and those
lives shed their own Incompatible
fragrance, and the world knows
where to find them. And they
shall remain fresh and fadeless
when the colors Of the pigment and
the whorsted and the floss have
faded, and the very frames have rot
ted away in their Joints.

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS
Getting Married.

The Rev. Mathew Hale Smith in
recent lecture on sour Young
Married People," after quoting va
rious portions of the Bible TO show
that coniugal love is inculcated in
every portion of it, went on to
speak of the relations between hus-
band and wife. If the husband de-
mands reverence from his wife he
must in return treat her with the
respect due her, and make her feel
that the respect and love is mutual
Many ladies make a bargain with
the minister before they are married
that the word obey shall be omitted
from the serviC e. The omission
makes no difference The Bible
says. distinctly that the wife must
obey her husband, and the laws
both OF God and nature demand q
proper obedience to a husbands
wishes. When young couple get
married they know really nothing
about one another in most instances
and have to become acquainted with
each others character and qualities
after they are united. They cannot
learn these things before, because
courtship is fuil of receptions. The
man deceiyes the woman and the
woman deceives the man, but IN
most cases the woman gets the best
of the man. Young people are in
too great haste TO get married, and
nine tenths of the marriages turn
out badly because the cOurtship
and engagement are too brief. AT
ter marriage, men are too often in
the habit of leaving the family af
fairs and the bringing Ip of the
children entirely to the mother,
thinking tEey have done their en-
tire duty in earning the money to
support them. Many men know
nothing Of their own children, of
their associations and habits of life.
They take no pains to discover their
characters, and in some cases hard
ly know them. when they see them.
One man in New York was in the
habit Of going to his business on
Monday morning and not returning
until Saturday night. when his wife
would have the children properly
dressed, and wonld bring them into
the. parlor and introduce them to
their father. The great conflict as
to who shall be head OF the house
Is subject that is agitsting the
whole world, and is the cause of
most family quarrels, In true mar
riage there should be no such con-
fict; both should be willing to give
way and make mutual concessions.
1t is terrible blow to a mother to
give up her daughter to a stranger,
and to find that the affection which
she had fostered and called out by
years of loving care was transferred
to some man of whom tie daughter
knew almost nothing. 1t does not
take much money to buy the few
comforts necessary to make a
happy home; and young man who
would consent to be dependent on
his wife's father is a very spoony
fellow and does not deserve a wife.

How the Devil Catches Sinners.

Being troubled great deal the
past summer with hornets about the
house, / inquired of one Of the boys
how to get rid of them. He told
me his plan was to take a stick,
split the end and fasten a house-Ay
in the crack, then hold it out to the
hornet, when the latter would take
hold of the fly and hold so tightly
that the boy could easily put them
in the ire together. This, thought
/, is an illustration of the manner
in which the devil catches sinners.
He sets a bait often in the sight OF
the unsuspecting victim, and taking
advantage of his well known predi-
lection for favorite sin, and then
casts both the sinner and his loved
object into destruction. Thus the
cunning of the devil makes use of
the infHtuation of sinners to draw
them into hell.

There is a question among wheat
growers as to the quantity of wheat
TO be sown to the acre. Some in
teliigent experienced growers main
tain that thin seeding, whether the
land be rich or poor. will produce
the largest crop This argument
conveys the idea that more space,
in reason. produces more stooling,
heavier and better grain, which to
us,seems reasonable, and even if no
better than thick seeding, which is
no small matter. If one grain OF
wheat, well spaced. will thereby
stool out a dozen heads, what is the
sense of throwing away the other
eleven gains to produce the same
result? knowledge of the quantity
of the land ought to enable every
farmer To determine the quantity to
be seeded, bearing in nina the ca
pacity of the grain for stooling -

A Cure For rheumatism.

Numerous cures OF rheumatism
by the use of celery have recently
been announced in English papers
but the following more in detail, is
given on the authority of New
York paper: New discoveries OF
what claim to be discoveries-oi
the healing virtues of plants are
continually making. 'One of the
latest is that celery is cure fol
rheumatism; indeed, it is asserted
that the disease is impossible If the
vegetable be cooked and freely
eaten. The fact that it is always
put on the table raw prevents its
therapeutic powers from becoming
known. The celery should be cut
into bits, boiled in water until soft,
and the water drunk by the patient.
Put new milk, with little -four
and nutmeg, into saucepan with
the boiled celery, serve it warm
with pieces of toast, eat it with po-
tatoes, and the painful ailment Will
soon yield. Such is the declara
ton of a physician, who has again
aid again tried the experiment,
and with uniform success. He
adds that cold and damp never
produce, but develop the disease,
of which acid blood is the primary
and sustaining cause, and that
while the blood is alkaline there
can be neither rheumausn nor govt.
English statistics show that in one
year (1S76) 2,640 persons died of
rheumatism, and every case, it is
claimed, might have been cured or
prevented by the adoption of the
remedy mentioned. At least two
thirds of The cases named heart dis
ease are asoribed to rheumatism
and Its sgonizing ally, govt. Small
pox, so much dreaded, is not half
so destructive as rheumatism, which
it is maintained bv many physi-
clans, can be prevented by obeying
natures laws in diet. But if you
have incurred it, BOILED celery is
pronounced unhesitatingly to be
