A LITERARY CURIOSITY.

The following exercise in pronuncia-
tion has furnished no little amusement
in several local circles. One lady, We
believe. went through the list with only
two errors, but the average number of
mispronunciations is anywhere from a
dozen upward:
A sacreligious son of Belial. who suf-
fered from bronchitis. having exhausted
his finances, in order to make good the
deficit resolved to ally himself to a
comely. lenient and docile young lady
of the Malay or Caucasian race. He
accordingly purchased calliope and a
coral necklace of chameleon hue, and
securing suite of rooms at the princi-
pal hotel he engaged the head-waiter as
his coadjutor. He then dispatches a
letter of the most unexceptionable cali
graphy extant, inviting the young lady
to matinee. She revolted at the idea.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Beauty is as summer fruits, which are
easy to corrupt and cannot last.
No pleasure is comparable to the
standing upon the vantage ground Of
truth.
Time we'll employed is Satan's dead
liest foe; it leaves no opening for lurk-
ing fiend.
They that write books on the worth
lessness Of glory take care to put their
names on the title page.
The slander of some people is as great
a recommendation as the praise of 9TH
Contempt is like the hot iron that
brands criminals; its imprint is almost
always indelible.
Thought means life, since those who
do not think do not live in any high or
real sense. Thinking makes the man.
The greatest events of an age are its
best thoughts. 1t is the nature of tho't
to find its way into action.
In matters of conscience first thoughts
are best in matters of prudence last
thoughts are best.
There are no fragments SO precious
as those of time. and none are SO heed
lessly lost by people who cannot make a
moment, and yet can waste years.
They who disbelieve in virtue be-
cause man has never been found per.
feet, might as reasonably deny the sur
because it is not always noon.

Fun AT HoME.-Don't be afraid of
little fun at home good people. Don't
shut up your houses lest the sun should
fade your carpets; and your hearts lest
hearty laugh shake down some of the
musty old cobwebs there If you want
to ruin your sons, let them think that
all mlrth and social enjoyment must be
left on the threshold without. when they
come home at night. When once
home is regarded as only place to eat.
drink and sleep in, the work is begun
that ends in gambling houses and reck-
less degradation. Young people must
have fun and relaxations somewhere.
If they do not find it at their own
hearthstones it will be sought in other
and perhaps less profitable places.
Therefore let the fire burn brightly at
night, and make the homestead delight
ful with all those little arts that parents
so perfectly understand. Don't repress
the buoyant spirits of your children;
half an hour of merriment round the
lamp and fire light at home blots out
the remembrance of many care and
annoyance during the day, and the
best safeguard they can take with them
in the world, is the unseen influence in
a bright little domestic sanctum.

THE RELIABLE MAN.

The reliable man is always there
when he is wanted. You do not have
to send to twenty different places after
him; if he is not at home his wife can
tell you where he is. The reliable man
always tells his mission to his wife. He
is not fool enough to marry woman
he cannot trust. He is not much of
talker, but he thinks great deal. He
looks at subject in all its bearings.
His judgments are unbiased. If he
should be elected governor he will carry
State affairs with just and firm hand.
In private life he will always have
plenty of kindling wood ready in the
morning. No running round in the cold
for him before he has made his toilet.
He won't be likely to whip the children
when they don't deserve it. He can
bear illusions or political belief which
does not accord with his own without
going ino tantrums. He can give advice
and keep his temper if he is not taken
and followed. He knows there are peo-
pie in the world beside himself. He
believes that the planet will continue to
be run with moderate degree of success
after he shall sleep with his fathers.
He never tells what he would have done
"if he had only been there" If be
makes you promise you know he will
keep it unless he dies before the time
for its redemption. If he states fact
for fact you know that you can credit
the statement. If he sells you horse
and warrants him sound you need not
look for spawn or ringbone after the
first days hard driving. His word is
as good as his bond. He is honest !;
you can trust him to do as he agrees.
You need not watch him, he will do
just as we'll without it. He has respect
unto himself, and would be ashamed to
have his own soul convict him of dis
honesty. If you are in trouble, you
know that you can expect help from
him. If you are ''dOwn in the world"
he will stand by you. If other friends
have forsaken you, he will uphold and
support you. In society the reliable
man is worth his weight in gold. In
the church he is invaluable he will
pass the contribution box when the
wardens are laid up with hard colds;
he will take care of the minister's house
when he goes away for days pleasur-
ing; he will help the ladies put down
the new vestry carpet. and he is ready
to stir the oyster stew, or tend the ele-
vator from the kitchen, when the society
have an old folks supper. All the girls
like him. all the boys respect him, and
his wife lays great emphasis on what
"my husband" says-for she knows he
is reliable. And we devoutly wish
there were more like him.

Teach them that a common school
education with common sense, is better
than college education without it.
Teach them that one good honest
trade, we'll mastered, is worth a dozen
beggarly professions. %
Teach them that honesty is the best
policy, that it is better to be poor than
to be rich on the profits of "erooked
whisky" and point your precept by tbe
examples of those who are now suffer-
ing the torments of the doomed.
Teach them to respect their elders

Teach them that, as they expect to be

Teach them by your own example
that smoking in moderation, though the
least of vices to which men are heirs,
is disgusting to others and hurtful to
themselves.
Teach them that to wear patched
clothes is no disgrace, but to wear a
black eye is.
Teach them that God is no respecter
of the sex, and that when he gave the
seventh commandment, he meant it for

Teach them that by lndulging their
depraved appetites in the worst form of

/ The long night was passing. and a
cold gray dawn announced another win
terry day, when vehicle drove up to
the door of the hotel, and in dim, con-
fused way Ernest heard the hustle of
the newly arrived travellers.
He was vaguely wondering if any
friend would come to him, when the
door of the room opened very softly, and
he heard the waiter say:
"Mr. Mather is here"
A soft little rustic followed, and then
two cold hands fell upon his sore head,
tears and kisses followed, and Myra
was sobbing. a.a5
''Oh. Ernest, darling thank God l
have found you; Oh, dear, forgive me !"
He was too sick to talk much, but he
made his wife fully understand his busi-
ness. and sank off to sleep in the sweet
consciousness that love had come to him
nurse and comforter.
1t was long, tedious illness, but in
the years that followed it Ernest and
Myra looked back upon it as the be-
ginning of his true happiness.
Doubts and repinings were swept
away in the danger of separation in
the grave, and all Myra's penitence
went into such entire, self-sacrifcing
devotion as snatched her husband from
the very jaws of death to be her own
again.

BALLAD OF PROSE AND
RHYME.

When the ways are heavy with mre and rut,
In November fogs, in December SHOWS,
When the North Wind howls and the doors are shut
There is place and enough for the pains of prose;
But whenever scent from the whtehorn blows,
And the jasmne-stars TO the lattice climb,
And a Rosalind-face to the easement shows,
Then hey!-for the ripple of laughing rhyme
When the brain gets as dry as an empty nut.
When the reason stands on its squarest toes,
When the mind like beard) has formal cut,"-
There is place and enough for the pains OF prose;
But whenever the May-blOod stKs and slows
And the young year draws to the "golden prime"
And Sir Romeo sticks in his ear a rose,-
Then heyl-for the ripple of laughing rhymeI
In theme where the thoughts have pendant-strut.
In changing quarrel of"Ayes" and Noes"
In starched procession Of "If" and "But"-
There is place and enough for the pains of prose-
But whenever soft glance softer grows.
And the light hours dance to the trysting time,
And the secret is told "that no one Knows
Then heyi-for the ripple of laughing rhyme!
In the wOrk-a-day world-for its needs and woes,
There is place and enough for the pains and prose;
But whenever the May-bells clash and chime
Then hey!-for the ripple of laughing rhymei

FARMERS HoMEs.-The Bucks county
lhgencer says: ''Is it not wonderful
how rapidly the homes of farmers have
changed for the better within compar-
atively short term of years? There is
far less contrast than formerly between
the city girls and their country cousins,
and we do not know that the country
girls have lost their good qualities, while
they have unquestionably gained in in
telligence. in grace, and in general cul
tivation and attractiveness. The same
is true of the boys. for that matter. Any
farmer of middle age or upwards will
readily admit the change which has been
contemporary with the introduction of
improved agricultural machinery, with
the multiplication of railroads. and with
cheaper and better newspapers and mag
azines. Really. we are justly envied by
our city cousins in almost everything
that goes to make life happy"

TREATMENT OF WouNDs.-A wound

TREATMENT OF WoUNDs.-A wound
produced by sharp cutting instrument
will heal without trouble when the edges
are nicely brought together. and left so
without putting on any salve. provided
the access of air is shut off and the per-
son possesses good constitution. If the
wound is produced by rusty nail or
similar cause. SO as to be jagged, it will
soon become very infamed, and in such
a case it is recommended to smoke such
a wound with burning wool or woolen
cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of
wool will take the pain out of the worst
wound, and if repeated once or twice
will allay the worst case of infamma-
ton arising from wound.

A FAMOUS HUNTER EAT
EN- BY BEARS.

A despatch to the Times from Lack
awaxon, Penn, says: Jerry Greening,
the famous hunter. of Pike county, is
dead. For the last half century this
remarkable man has fought constant
battle. and there is not hunting ground
between the Susquehanna and the Del
aware in which he has not fought with
bears, catamounts, deer and all the
smaller animals. Early in the month
he had terrible encounter with bear
and narrowly escaped death. Ten days
ago he started into the woods again, and
as he did not return,a search was made.
The searchers found in the centre of
swamp four dead bears, and near them
the body of Jerry Greening. A survey
of the ground showed that Jerry had
met the bears, and that in fighting
them he had received wounds that caus-
ed his death. One of the dead bears
had bitten away part of Jerry's right
foot. and the CHASTITY fragments were
still between his teeth. A wound in
his neck showed that his grasp Of the
hunters foot was followed by a fatal
blow from the hunters knife. Jerry's
knife lay on the ground. and into its
blade one of the furious brutes had set
his teeth and bitten nearly through the
steel.
The men went to Jerry's hut and
found the trophies of former victories.
There were skins, fangs. rattles and
skeletons of monster rattlesnakes, skins
and skulls of foxes, wild cats, fawns,
panthers, bears, muskrats, and an end
less variety of snakes. bugs and birds.
Every corner was piled high with bear
skins.
At his funeral Rev. Mr.. Merrill gave
some points in his life. He was so
years old, and native of Tennessee.
When Jerry was young his parents were
rich, and he received a good education
IN some Southern institution. That he
was educated is beyond doubt, as in his
cabin were well-worn books. some man.
uscripts in his own hand, which may
probably be published IN short time
and part of a set of surveying instru
ments. Mr.. Merrill learned from hin
that, on refusing to marry girl select
ed by his parents, he was driven from
home and had lived by hunting ever
since. Mr.. Merrill states that in hi
hut are 594 bears tails, 348 wild ca
paws, 224 fox ears, and 122 rattlesnakt
fangs. He lived by the chase. In per
son he was tall, being just six feet. Hi
weight was 22O pounds. He always
dressed in gray cloth, and made hi
own clothes He was the owner o
many costly little presents given to hin
by members of the "Minsi Pioneers ;
society of wealthy Philadelphians. whom
he had often guided in the wild of Mon
roe and Northampton counties, and owe
the game regions of the Moosic ant
Pocono Mountains.
