Good Management.

If a man has capable and indus
trious wife, II il astonishing how well
he can live on a small income. Some
men live better on $l5 week than
their neighbor does on S25. The man
does his part well enough In the lat
ter case, but his wife is good for
nothing. She will even upbraid her
husband for not living in as good
style as her neighbor. while the fault
is entirely her own. His neighbor
has neat, capable and industrious
wife, and that makes the difference.
SO look out. young men, before you

which most men can only buy one
ticket, and, il that turns out blank,
their whole life had better be a
blank, too. Luckily, no one need go
into the welded state with his eyes
closed. as in the case OF lotteries, and
we Judge all who are sensible enough
to see through their optics may blame
themselves il they do not draw a
prize.

Emerson and Ills New Lecture.

One evening, when Ralph Waldo
Emerson was engaged in preparing
his new lecture, Mrs Emerson, who
had at that moment ffattened her fin
ger while trying to drive nail with
the smo0thing-irOn, thrut her head
into his study and said:
"See here, sir, want you to drop
that everlasting pen Of yours, for a
minute or two at least, and go down
to the grocery and get mackerel for
breakfast
MY DEAR" replied Mr.. Emerson,
looking up from his work; "my dear,
can't you go? You see 1 am billed in
a dozen places to deliver this lecture
on Memory" and it isn't half finished
yet"
"And that's what you call your in
fernal lecture, is it?" said Mrs. Emer-
son, sharply. "A nice party, you are
to deliver a lecture on Memory"
"And why, my love?' said Mr., En-.
erson, meekiy.
You never go ont OF the house
that you don't forget to put on your
hat or your boots, and you never take
letter Of mine to mail that you don'l
carry it in your pocket for six months
or year unless | happen to find il

you have carried out OF this house

seventy five or eighty umbrellas ;and

udience on Memory and il you dom

Mr.. Emerson started on a jumI

A Coed Story.

Deacon D was very much inter
place in the neig borhood, and as
consequence, was continually urging
his reiShbor TO come over to the
Lords side" as he expressed it. He
had frequently importuned an oil !
nci9hbor OF his-who was not partic-
ularly noted for his profession OF re-
ligion, but was nevertheless highly
respected by all who knew him-to
attend one OF their evening meetings.
The piety and honesty OF the Deacon
was matter OF doubt among his fel-
low townsmen, and particularly so
with the old man above mentioned,
who, for convenience, we may call
Uncle Josh. After repeated calls.
Uncle josh consented to accompany
the Deacon to one OF the meetings and
accordingly accompanied him TO the
school house" one evening, much TO
the surprise OF all proseut. In the
course OF the evening the Deacon
arose with a penitential countenance
to tell his experience, He was the
prince OF sinners, he said. II he got
his deserts, he would be banished
forever from Divine favor. After
making himself out TO be all that is
vile in man, according to his interpre-
tation of she that humbleth himself
shall be exalted" he sat down with
the sublime sense oy having done his
duty; and asked Uncle Josh il be
would not tell his experience. With
some reluctance, be meekly arose
amid the breathless attention OF the
assembly. 1t was an unknown occur
renee for Uncle Josh to speak in
meeting. He said he had listened to
the remarks OF the Deacon with in
terest, and could assure the brethern
that, he could fully endorse all the
Deacon had said concerning his mean
ness and vileness, for he was certainly
the meanest man he ever knew. The
wrath or the Deacon was terrific. He
shook his fist under Uncle Josh's nose
and exclaimed, You are an Internal
liar; I'll whip you as soon as you are
out OF church.

Omission of Duty.

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to frifter away time, and leave the
duties unperformed for the alleged
want OF 1t. Neglected. habits are
easily formed. Keep a strict account
OF every hour OF your own time for a
single week, setting down correctly
the exact manner in which every
hour is spent, and see whether, when
you come TO review the record, you
do not find il full of admonition and
instruction. In this simple way one
can readily understand the secret Of
this want. of time. He will discover
that he has given hours to idle talk,
to Incidence. and 10 inconsiderate
trifies, which have yielded him neith-
er profit no pleasure. What is the
remedy? Arrange your work in the
orderof its comparative Importance.
Attend. flr-t to the things which are
essential to be done, and let the un-
essential take their chance afterward.
The difference in the amount of work
accomplished will bo astonishing.
Duty before pleasure. Those who
practice this precept have plenty of
time for pleasure, and enjoy far
greater satisfaction than those who
reverse this rule.

The EuuinOy.

We have just passed the spring
equinox with its usual storms. The
question is frequently asked: What
is the equinox, aud how Is 1t connec-
ted with the disturbances of the
weather." Everyone has observed
the apparent motion OF the sun from
its low southern position in winter to
its hi .h northern altitude in summer
The equator, a point midmay between
the poles OF the earth, has sun
shining vertically on it twice year
The sun Is now on his journey north,
and will reach the end OF that journey
on the alst OF June, the summer sols-
tice. From this point he will travel
south, reaching the equator on the
2lst of September, and terminating
his southern journey December 2lst,
and retracing his course, will reach
the equator on the 2lst OF March
When the sun is vertical south of the
equator, the land in Southwestern
Africa becomes insensely heated, and
the air rarifled by heat. rises, and the
colder air from India, now deserted
by the vertical rays OF the sun, rush
es across the Indian ocean TO fill its
place and thus the Northeast mon
soon blows from September till
March. But when the sun passes in
to the Northern hemisphere the con-
ditions are changed. Southern Afri-
ca now ia turn becomes cooled, and
India and Arabia heated, and the
| South west monsoon sets in. These

TIE NATIONALLY CHANCES GONE
Defeated By the New Bedfords--A Close aud
Interesting Game.

Interesting Game.
The Nationals now have slim chances upon
which to hang their prospects Of being cham.
pions this season. They mot with another de-
feat yesterday, which will bear heavily against
them, and thoy can be considered fortunate to
come In second In the race. Tho third and last
game between them and the New Bedfords
yesterday was fine exhibition of the beauties
of the game, and might have beon won by the
home club had they only done little hitting.
While they committed ten errors in fielding,
still not one OF them counted against them and
yielded run. In the eighth innings they had
three men on tho bases. without hand lost,
but even then luck was not with them, and
not a run was scored. The New Bedfords
played beautiful fielding game, tho finest
exhibition hero this season. They also were
| weak at tho bat, and the winning run, homo
| one, was chance hit by Muldoon over Derby's
| head to the lower cato. Tho excitement
among the spectators was intense, rs tho game
was 80 close. When the game ended and the
home team was defeated no blame could be
attributed to them, as all their opponents made
they earned and deserved.
