in the hands Of those from whom we
deserve patronage. The World is d
constant laborer for the interests Of
the country; and we are not boasting
when we say that the many extracts
from our columns in journals Of note
are doing their share towards the en-
enlargement Of immigration and the
development Of the country. 1t is
nothing more than right that our ef.
forts IN helping to build up the coun-
try should be assisted by all of the
business men. What would they say
should we send 10 Chicago or New
York Tor our dry goods and provis
ions! We would be pronounced a
picayunish miser unworthy the pat
ronage of the business men of the
county. Yet we have the same right
to save few dollars by doing so thai
they have to procure their job print
ing away from home. Some of the
merchants of Boise county look a
only one side Of the question ",
send away for nothing, and ought t,
have all the work in the printing linz
done for all Of our business men
/ Many Of them have just appreci
alton Of our efforts and are lending
US their aid in every possible way. 70
which we are thankful. but there ar
some that are not.

KING 0ETEWAYOs MODEST De
HANDS,

A dispatch fro,n Cape Town says
that King CetewayO has arrived
there. His Majesty was dressed in q
neat snit Of European clothes, and
seemed to find them less comfortable
than his native dress. CetewayO
was accompanied by f0nr Of his
wives, fonr followers, and one little
girl, who looked with great wonder
at the strange sights around her.
The captive King was imprisoned in
the castle, bat not under conditions
Of severity. When informed that
England desired to treat him with
consideration III view Of his valor and
previous distinction, aud that the En-
glish officials desired to supply him
with everything necessary for his
comfort, Cetewayo Immediately, and
in a peremptOry tone, demanded that
ten more Of his favOrite wives be sent
for at once. He said he had been nc

AN INFALLIBLE REMEDY-FIGH
ING THE DEVIL WITH FIRE.

If there is one thing that more
than another annoys a good wife,
who is nervonsly sensitive to all that
is gross and illimited, it is the habit
some husbands have of using pro-
fame language in their homes. In
many cases this is mere thonghtless-
ness on the part of the good man,
who never gives a thought to the
finer scnsibilities of his better half,
and even should she mildly remon-
stratc, ne pays no attention to the
rebukc.
We have just had a case in point,
which happened in one Of the thriy-
ing Missouri cities on the banks Of
the Mississippi, which the ladies of
Georgetown, and in fact the world,
should know something about.
A lady whose husband was addic-
ted to the bad practices already al
luded to, came to her family physi-
clan, laid her grievances before him,
and said:
"Now, DR.. N, won't you re-
monstrate with him, and try to break
him of this habit Z? | know he will
listen to YOU
Why, madam, '-said the doctor, 'he
would pay no attention to anything
! could say to him; but as you have
come to me. although somewhat out
my line, l will recommend a pres
cription; to be administered by you,
that will certainly cure him. 1t is an
infallible remedy
'Oh, what is it, doctorP
well, when John comes home
again and swears, do you swear
back at him. OF course, don't want
you to take the name of the Lord in
vain, but d-n things little for
his benefit
doctor, for the sake of the final re-
suit I'll do it'
And she did.
The next day John came in and in
quired whether dinner was ready.
and was told it was not.
well, why the ID isn't it Il said
he.
Because, she coolly replied, 'tht
wood was so d-n wet that the fire
wouldn't burn
Why, Mary, what is the matter
with You? Are yon crazy or have
you been drinking7'
Neither she said, and quietly pro
ceeded to put on the dinner.
The beef didn't melt like butter be
tween his teetll--it rather resisted
all efforts at mastication, like Sc
much india rubber; and finally JOIN
blurted out:
: "What makes the Id beef so in
fernal tough"
Mary looked up archly and re
} piled:
well, John, ! suppose you wen
down to the butchers and, wltho'1
knowing the difference picked out
piece of some ID old stag tina
, hadn't been fed for month";
! John jumped up looked at his wifi
t in dismay and wanted to know wha
{ such language from her lips meant
1T means just this John; you al
| the head of this family, and just q
r long as you think it manly to swea
r in my presence | intend to do tn
same. Ifyou don't like to hear j
g YOU know how to prevent it,"
3 The cure was radical, and to tn
date Mary has never been compelle
: to administer another dose OF D.
!, Ms prescription.

EXrRAvAGANOE AT FUNERALS.

The Roman Catholics are to bc COM
mended for the efforts they are max
ing to suppress useless extravaganza
at funerals. A year ago the Bishop Of
New Jersey issued some instructions
for the regulation Of funerals, and alb
solutely forbade the Use Of more than
l2 carriages. On a recent Sunday the
doors Of the cathedral in Jersey City
were closed against q cortege Of 40
carriages, and remained closed until
the number had been reduced to the
prescribed limit. Within the last
year several other ecclesiastical bodies
have put on record their disapproval
of costly displays on such occasions,
and it Is to be hoped that some prac-
tical results may follow this general
expression Of opinion. The evil is
wide. spread and real, and is often an
unhappy satire on the monrne's them
selves. The fortunate man who has
found rest from his troubles and is
followed by a troupe Of sorrowing
friends might have put off the day OF
his death had little Of the money de-
voted to his ol,sequies been used for
his benefit while he was yet in tho
body. A Chinaman will die happy If
he has the assurance Of a costly fnDer-
al, but to most Christians it is very
unsatisfactory reward for the trials OF
life. II is no tribute to the character
Of the dead to Cypress and harass the
survivors for useless demonstrations
Of grief, and if people arc able to
spend money for this sort Of display
it is better to help the living gman with
| it rather than make his funeral i'm
posing with unhceded evidences Of
atflnent woe Christian Union.

THE STUDENT OF upsAIA.

Mrs. Mary Hewitt, in her Life of
Fredetica Bremcr,' tells the follow
ing story, which is 50 pleasant and
good that it ought to he true, although
it is by no means new:
There was in the early part Of this
century young student lately come
to Upsala, the son Of a poor widow,
who was standing with some Of his
college companions IN one ofthe pub
lie walks on a fine Sunday morning.
As they were thus standing, the
young daughter Of the Governor, a
good and beautiful girl, was seen ap-
preaching them on her way to church
accompanied by her governess.
Suddenly the widows son ex-
claimed:
Il am sure that young girl would
give me n kissr
His companions laughed, and near
to them, a rich young fellow, said:
1T is impossible! Thou, an utter
stranger, and in Il public thorough
fare! 1t is too absurd to think Of.
Nevertheless, am confident OF
what | say returned the other.
The rich student offered to lay q
heavy wager that, SO far from sue
ceeding, he would not even venture
to propose such a thing.
Taking him ut his word, the poor
student, the moment the young lady
and her attendant had passed, fol.
lowed them, and, politely addressing
them, they stopped, on which, in :
modest and straightforward manner
he said, speaking to the Governors
daughter.
1T entirely rests with Froken tt
make my fortune"
"How so!" demanded she, great,
amazed.
81 Am a poor student said he, 9TH
son of a widow. If Froken would con
descend to give me Il kiss, shoult
win a large sum ofmonry. which en-
abling me to continue my studies
would relieve my mother Of grea
anxiety"
"lfsucccss depend on 50 small I
thing" said the innocent glrl, ~ cal
but comply" and Herewith, sweet.
blushing, she gave him Il kiss, just Il
if he had been her brother.
), Without thought Of wrong-doine
the young girl went to church, an
afterward told her father Of the CT
counter.
The next day the Governor sum
moned the bold student to his pres
epce, anxious to see the sort Of perso
who had thus dared to accost hi
daughter.
But the young mans modest dc
meanOr at once fav0lably lmprcsse
him. He heard lis story, and was 5
well please that he invited him
dine at the castle twice week.
In about a year the young lady maj
! ried the student whose fortune si
! had thus made, and who is at the PR
sent day one Of the most celebrate
! Swedish philologists. His amiab
wife died few years since.

about helping her.

I'm the ROOM the mother an
swered, and thought no more about
it.
An hour later she went down
stairs.
There sat Jennie in the large arm
chair by the open window, the basket
on the table before her, and her little
fingers very busy.
'Mothcr,' said she, looking up with
bright smile, you have twelve
pairs of stockings, and I've done halt
of them
Jennie had given up a whole hours
play to help and relieve her mother
but she was a very little girl, and she
had made mistake. She sewed the
holes over and over. And as she
meant to do her best, the stitches
were very close and tight. He'
mother knew it would be at least
half an hours work to rip them out
but she would not disappoint the
loving heart by letting her know, she
had not fully succeeded. She only
said, "Well, you're dear good little
girl, and now you may run out ant

Away went Jennie, very happy il
the thought that she had helped ano

renew her circus life. At first she
insisted on rejoining the company
when she was well enough, but finally
yielded to his suggestion study for
the stage, as she had considerable
talent. This she did with Miss
Fannie Morant, who asks $500 term
for two terms, and with such success
that she felt warranted in making
her appearance at McVicker's last
season in the Two Orphans and un-
der the name of Miss Meroe Charles.
1t is needless to say that the young
lawyer paid the expenses Of hcr dra-
matte training and furnished her out
fit, but it is needfnl to add that his
efforts for her were made with dis
interestedness as it il beautiful in the
generosity Of man toward the woman
who is loved. Her confidence in his
honor he held sacred by upholding
hers, and so it happened that after
wards, while on u Southern tour with
Edwin Booth, who took kindly in
terest in her, they played in St.
Louis. and among the audience was
her husband, who at once recognized
her.
The next day she received q long
letter from him expressing sincere re-
pentance for the past, acknowledge
ing his lack Of courage, and adding
that his sister was now dead, and
that if she would return he would de-
vote the remainder of his life to max
ng her happy.
This letter she sent to the man
who had SO generously befliendcd
her, with a note saying that to him
she owed everything, and promising
to follow his decision.
Realizing that the offer meant for
her honor, comfort and peace, he an
swered in one word, "Retuln," she
did, and is now settled in her own
home in St. Louis, and that is the
reason that the world theatrical knows
no more of Mcroe Charles.

OAKS FROM A0oRIs,

About fifty years ago o Jewish gem
tlelnan Of wealth entertained one
day at dinner the leading men Of his
race IN Philadelphia. The banquet
was delightful, aud the guests were
in high good humor.
Let Ms remember the poor and sick
Of our people, said one wealthy ,Der.
chant, dropping piece Of gold
into his goblet. II passed around the
table and was full when it returned.
The host poured out the glittering
heap. well done,' he said 7 4 in
vite you all here this day year
hence, if you will promise to remem-
ber the poor as nObly.'
The banquet was repeated and 20
was the contribution. Out Of this
petty beginning grew the great He
brew beneficiary societies Of Pennsyl-
vania which care for every needy
member Of the race in the State, and
whose. charities have amounted to
millions. They still hold their an
nual dinner in memory Of their be-
ginning.
Another instance Of great good grow
ing out ola small opportunity well i'm
proved, is the story Of home for
crippled and defor,ned children found.
ed by a pastor in France.
An American lady visited it many
years ago, and was mucl, interested
in this good man and his work. Afte'
the Franco -Prussian war, she read in
! a French paper that owing to the uni.
yersal poverty, contributions to thu
home had almost ceased, and thu
| house would soon be closed.
She was herself a poor wesnan, ant
u HELPLESS invalid; but she wrote :
simple account Of the home as sht
had seen it, and sent it to leading
magazine. The pathos Of the story
caused it to be copied into an En-
glish paper. 1t was read by u maj
Of great l,enevolence and wealth VIII
visited the home, and at once tool
means Of re- establishing it upon ~
enlarged and secure basis.
'The words that l speak to-day

echoes come back to me hereafte
from every corner Of the world!
