A Cat Story.

Four men in India partners in
business, bought several bales Of
India rugs, and also some cotton
bales. That The rats might not de-
stroy the cotton, they purchased a
cat. They agreed that each of the
four should own a particular leg Of
the cat; and each adorned with beads
ana other ornaments the leg thus apr
portioned to him. The cat, by acct
dent, injured one OF its legs. The
owner Of that member wound around
it a rag soaked in oil. The cat, 60
ing too near the hearth, set this rag
on fire, and, being in great pain,
rushed in among the cotton bales,
where she was accustomed to hunt
rats. The cotton and rags thereby
took fire, and they were burned up
a total loss. The three other parties
brought a suit, to recover the value
of the goods destroyed, against the
fourth partner, who owned this par
ticular leg of the Cat. The Judge
examined the case, and decided thus /:
"The leg that had the oiled rag on
it was hurt; the cat could not use
that leg; in fact, it held up that leg,
and ran with the other three legs.
The three unhurt legs, therefore, car
ried the fire to the cotton, and are
alone culpable. The injured leg is
not to be blamed The three part
ners who owned the three legs with
which the cat ran to the cotton will
pay the whole value of the bales to
the partner who was the proprietor
of the injured leg."- Carpet Trade.

Pietistic Prigs.

There are thousands of young peo-
ple who, though they dance, do so in
the firm belief that they are waltzing
to perdition, and who, when they
venture to visit the theatre, shudder
at the allegorical words, " The way
to the PITT Millions of children are
under terrible apprehensions, that
Father is a goat" as popular tract
saws, because father smokes his pipe,
drinks his glass of beer, has throw
at skittles, or reads lis Sunday news
paper. Weak brothers and sisters,
are responsible for the existence OF
generations of pietistic little prigs,
who may, perhaps, never recover
their healthy tone of mind, or, more
fortunate, may live to laugh at their
absurd delusions. The religious
weak brother and sister, are remark
able at once for their amazing credu-
lity and for their maddening skepti-
cism. They are the natural advo-
Gates of the hypocrite and OF the
commercial imposter, because in all
attacks on him, they see virulent as
sault on religion. They are capable Of
believing the most monstrous fig
menrs against the character OF their
neighbors, who make no particular
pretensions, and they swallow camels
in the way of taking the virtues of the
humbug at his own valuation. The
evidence of their own eyes, will not
convince them OF his guilt Saturday

WEAVING the Baby.

DR.. Brochard in French medical
journal, lays down four rules to be
observed in weaving infants, as fol
lows: a. 1t should never be done
suddenly, one regimen being gradu-
ally transformed into another so that
the child may be progressively pre-
pared for weaving. The time for 1t,
as Trousseau justly observes, cannot
be fixed by the almanac, but 1t must
depend upon dentition. AS soon as
the teeth appear, we should COM
mence our preparations About the
fourth or fifth month we may accus-
tom it to the sucking bottle, substitu-
ting this for one OF the stockings at
night, and afterwards for another !;
and even for fortnight after wean-
ing, the child should have nothing
but milk. At a later period, tarrlna-
ceous food and broths may be added.
Many women begin to give their in
fants this kind OF food, far too soon,
and at the time OF weaving, cannot
get them to take the milk which
should then form, almost their only
diet. Solid food should be delayed
for some weeks, and given only as
the teeth appear. (2) The child
should never be weaned until it has
teeth. tS) 1t should never be weaned
during very hot weather, when diar.
rhea is apt to occur. al 1t should
not be weaned while i'll the act OF
cuttino its teeth, the intervals which
occur between the cutting OF the diff
terent groups OF teeth being selected.

How NOT TO PREACH.-Some OF
the styles of modern preachers were
recently portrayed by Rev. DR..
Hurst, of Madison Seminary, in this
wise: cit takes ten minutes on
some Sabbath morning to annihilate
Huxley, ten minutes more to knock
Farrar's eternal hope to pieces; ten
more to do away with Ingersoll, and
about five to close up on the Second
Coming What is going to become
OF the poor, burdened soul who has
dritted INTO the.service with his be-
reavements, and broken future and
penitent feelings ?" Sound sense is
this. 1t is time that preachers real
lied that they are neglecting the
gospel when firing away at enemies
unknown and invisible to most of
their congregations. Such discourses
are but waste of time and ammuni-
ton. The simple gospel of sin,
righteousness, judgment and mercy.
when faithfully and earnestly de-
livered, converts more skeptics and
other kinds of sinners than all the
arguments and denunciations in the
world. Philadelphia Record.

SPEAK NO I'LL.

Nay, speak no i'll Ia kindly word
Can never leave a sting behind:.
And. oh to breath each tale we've heard
Is far beneath noble mind.
Full oft better seed is sown
BY choosing thus the kinder plan;
For if but little good be known,
Still let us speak the best we can.
Give us the heart that fain would hide
Would fain anotheT's faults etface:
How can it please e'en human pride
To prove humanity but base
No! let us reach higher mood,
A nObler sentiment of man:
Be earnest in the search of good,
And speak Of all the best we can.
Then speak no i'll, but lenient be
To others failings as your own;
If you're the first fault to see,
Be not the first to make it known.
For life is but a passing day,
No lip may tell how brief its span;
Then, oh the little time we stay,
Let's speak of all the best we can.

A Cure for SANDER.

The following very homely but
singularly instructive lesson, is by st.
Philip Neri:
A lady presented herself to him
one day, accusing herself of being
given to SANDER. edo you frequent
" fall into this fault ?" inquired the
saint. ayes, Father, very Often"
replied the penitent. My dear
child,n said the saint,ss" your fault
is great, but the mercy of God is
still greater; for your penance do as
follows: Go to the nearest market,
purchase a chicken just killed and
still covered with feathers you will
then walk to a certain distance, pluck
ing the bird as you go along; your
walk finished, you will return to me. "
Great was the establishment of the
lady in receiving so strange a pen
ance, but silencing all human reason
ing, she replied, {" l will obey Father
1 will obey" Accordingly, she re-
paired to the market, bought the
fowl, and set out on her journey,
plucking it as she went along, as she
had been ordered.
In short time she returned, anX-
ious to tell of her exactness in accom-
plishing her penance, and DESTROYS to
receive some explanation of one so
singular.
''Ah !" said the saint. you have
been very faithful to the first part of
my orders; now do the second part,
and you will be cured. Retrace your
N N eT Sc al sas gan gssSs
er up one by one, all the feathers you
have scattered"
But, Father" exclaimed the poor
woman, "tbat is impossible. | cast
them carelessly on every side; the
wind carried them in different direc-
tons: how shall / recover them ?"
"Well my child: replied the saint,
$50 it is with your words of SANDER,
like the feathers which the wind has
scattered, they have waited in many
directions; call them back now if you
can. Go and sin no more"
History does not tell if the lady
was converted, but i was probable.
1t required saint to give the lesson;
one should be fool, not to profit by
it.
