Mistakes of Young Women.

Young men are not the only ones
that make mistakes as regards their
companions. They are not less often
made by young women, who give their
hearts and their hands to those who
prove to them curse instead of bless
ing. Too soon, alas! in many instan-
ces, do they find that they have made
a mistake, which they seek to remedy,
as best they can, by resort to divorce !;
or the painful results of which they
bear in silence and grief. How many
have there been, whose sun, for such a
cause, has gone down whilst it was yet
dayY
Every young lady, therefore, should
be duly careful how she takes this i'm
portant step. 1t should not be done
rashly. Not every young man is wOr-
thy to be your companion in life. Not
every young man will make you de-
sirable husband. Don't marry drink
ing young man. Though he may not
already have become a drunkard, there
is great danger that he will; and then
miserable will be your domestic life.
Don't marry young man whose chosen
associates are immoral, for it is a pref
ty sure sign that he, too, is immoral.
He may appear well in your society,
but the old proverb is true that "a man
may be known by the company which
be keeps and also that other proverb,
that "birds of feather flock together y

How Girls are Made Straight.

The HindOo girls are graceful and
exquisitely formed. From their earliest
childhood they are accustomed to carry
burdens on their heads. The water fol
family use is always brought by the
girls in earthen jars, carefully poised in
this way. The exercise is said to
strengthen the muscles of the back,
while the chest is thrown forward. No
crooked backs are seen in Hindoostan.
DR.. II. Spry says that this exercise of
carrying small vessels of water on the
head might be advantageously intro
duced into our boarding schools and
private families, and that it entirely su-
percede the present machinery of dumb
bells, back boards, skipping ropes, etc.
The young ladies ought to be taught to
carry the jar as these Hindoo women
do, without ever touching ii with their
hands. The same practice of carrying
water leads To precisely the same re-
suits In the south of Italy as IN India.
A NapOlitan female peasant will carry
on her head vessel full ol wa.0g to tho
very brim, over rough road. and not

Col. Bee, the Chinese Consul General
at San Francisco, says in an interview
that there are now not enough Chinese
in California to meet the daily demand
for their labor. People are offering $50
a month for Chinese laborers, 50 more
than year ago, and are unable to get
large gangs even at the advanced price.
Col. Bee, who is collecting statistics on
the Chinese in California for the census,
expresses the opinion that their num-
Der has steadily decreased for ten years
past. The Pacific Mail steamers, which
a few years ago brought 1900 at trip.
now rarely bring over 400, and many
of these are Chinese who have been on
visit to their bones. 81 do not think, y
says Col. Bee, "there are more than
&c, 900 Cinnamon in this country now,
and doubt if there will ever be more
than that number"

Cities in the New Census.

The country is swallowing its first
disappointment over the census of 1880
in the population of its cities, which
fall below the general expectation, and
Judging from every state census during
the last ten years, all of which have
shown that the urban was increasing
faster than the rural population, the
disappointment when the entire returns
come in will be even greater. The
country has grown, but it has not
grown as fast as it hoped. The num-
Der of cities over 10000 has increased
from eight to ten but no one of the
cities, except New York and Boston,
has the population which it confidently
claimed two months ago. The cities
of this class with their population in
1870 and 1880, with their relative rank,
are given in the table below

Chicago has passed st. Louis, since
1870, Boston, Baltimore, and San Fran
cisco, New Orleans. The relative in
crease of Boston over Baltimore is due
to annexation solely, the population of
the additions to Boston since 1870
amounting, according TO the census of
1875, to 1886. The actual increase
of Boston instead of being nearly 40 per
cent. in the last 10 years is not much if
any over 20 per cent. New York, since
1870, has gained mere trifle by an
nexation, 36, 1914 according to the cen
sus of the annexed district in 1875.
With the possible exception of Chicago
none of the other cities have made
gains by anneying territory. 1t will be
noticed that while these cities had in
1870 about 10 per cent. of the pOpula
ton of the country, they have now a
tenth of its estimated population of 49,
DOC, 900.
The growth of cities from 100000 to
100000 is altogether larger both in
their number and in the relative growth
of each than in the preceding class.
There are by the present returns such
cities against in 1870. They are as
follows, still arranged in their present
rank

Considerateness Toward Others.

Brethren, if q man be Overtaken in
fault, We which are spiritual restore
such an one in the spirit of meekness ;
considering thyself, lest thou also be
tempted"
How wise that is! and how full of
that very spirit of Christian sympathy
and benevolence which is the root and
marrow of the Gospel
eff a man be oyertaken in a fault
[greater or lessl We which are spiritual
I'VE that never commit such faults; We
that are not apt, from various reasons,
of caution, or education, or surround
ing circumstances and influences, to
commit any grievous mistakes We that
being spiritual have the highest sense
of obligation. of purity and obedience
TO Gods laws and mans lawsl restore
such an one" And when you have re-
stored him you are not to go to him,
and look down on him, and tell him
what his sin has been, and that there
was no excuse for it, and no right rea-
son in it, and make him feel bad.
"Restore such an one in the spirit of
meekness."
Do not jolt nor jar, but go to him
with that sweetness and gentleness and
meekness which shall make it easy for
him to accept humiliation, and rebuke,
and restoration. Not only so,
Consider thyself, lest thou also be
tempted"
Not necessarily as this person or that
person was tempted. He may have
sinned through passion, and you may
be passionless. He may have sinned
through avaIice, and you may be rather
of the other mood. He may have sim
ned through pride; pride may not be
the predominant feeling in you. His
sin may have been an overt act you
may have been scrupulously careful of
that enconOmy of life which works out
into conduct. But there is no man that
is not liable to fall somewhere and
when a man falls into fault restore
him, and do not join the hue and cry
against him. Do not tread him down.
Do not discourage him. Do not hate
him. Do not abuse him. Do not ne
glect him. Do not be afraid that some
thing or another will attach to you if
you are seen with him. "Restore him -
and do it in the sweetest of all possible
ways-''in the spirit of meekness," as
sister would restore a sister, or as a
mother would restore child. And
consider yourself while you are doing
it. If you are pulled up the least bit
with vanity or pride, or are hard and
arrogant and you sit in judgment over
him, consider that you are liable to be
tempted in your way just as he was
tempted in his way.-H. W. Beecher
in Christian Union.

BAD HABITS DIsCARDED.-There are
few villages in the land where so little
tobacco is used as in Oberlin, Ohio. 1t
is doubted if twelve habitual smokers
can be found among the twelve hun
bred members of the two leading
churches, but public sentiment WAS re-
Gently called to the increase there of
the sale of tobacco, and a meeting to
take counsel in the matter was held.
A candid and temperance talk on the
evils of the habit of smoking and chew
ing was held, and several persons who
were confirmed in one or the other
habit were led to abandon it, and the
prOprietOrs of two of the five or six
stores that sold tobacco gave up the
further sale of it cheerfully and with
out urging.

In this group of 81 cities the most
noticeable fact is the small advance
made in the southern centers, some of
which show no growth and none OF
which indicate remarkable increase.
Even in Texas, which has been claim
ing a population of 1900, 900, no place
whose returns have come in matches
the growth of several New England
cities in the last 10 years. For years
past the southern papers have teemed
with complaints that the negroes flock
ed to the cities, but the complaint is
either unfounded or the increased pop
ulation of the South is to be found in
its rural districts or not at all. Turn
ing to the North the most remarkable
growth shown, if an exceptional place
like Denver is excluded, or Minneap
oils with its auneXatiOns, is among the
manufacturing cities of New England
and the middle states. This, it must
be remembered, applies only to the
cities. If the comparison were between
the rural population of the East and
West, the figures would tell different
story. The total population of9I cities
whose population was given in these
tables was in 1870 6,039, 344; it is now
s,2Os, 238, an increase of 2, l6s, 1874, or
growth of 10 percent. If the whole
country has increased in population as
rapidly as these cities, which in 1870
contained nearly one-sixth of the popu-
lation, the present population is not over
46, $50 900, figure which will fall de-
cidedly short of the general expecta-
ton. Returns from One-sixth of the
nonnlatiOn in the conntrv ore hnwey-
er, but a narrow basis on which to make
an estimate; but in 1870, and in nearly
every recent census taken in this coun-
try, the city returns which came in ear
Hest showed the largest increase.

- Palestine is reported to be grad
ually losing its desolateness, new build
ings with glass windows, a rare thing
20 years ago, having recently been put
up at Jerusalem, where dwellings have
trebled in 25 years, and at all the small
Ter towns. Through the schools and
the increasing trade the working people
have acquired greater style and taste,
and the newer houses are thus mostly a
great improvement on the old-not the
oldest, which as rule were well built.

SAFETY IN CHRIsT.-The peace that
Christ gives to his disciples is not a
peace which comes of the diciples' sur
roundings: it is result of nearness to
him who is the center of the universe,
and who is unmoved by surroundings.
The Christians peace is as great in
times of storm as in times of calm.
When the tempest of sorrow or of Op-
position RACES on every side, then he
who is one with Jesus realizes "the
peace of God which passeth all under
Standings. s. Times.

Feel 10 anxiety because you see no
immediate results of your labor. Boys
do not usually develop the emotional
elements. A great deal of the apparent
Indifference and scOrn with which they
treat the doctrines of Christianity, and
which causes you SO much trouble,
arises principally from the overweening
self-confidence aud egotism which be-
long to a developing period. The fact
that boy Is years old ridicules Chris
