What an Old Writer Says.

Andrew Boorde, who wrote
about 1880, said: mo man can
be a better ply to you than
your own self can be, if you will
consider what does you good and
refrain from what harms you.
'Let everyone beware of sor-
row, care, thought and inward
anger; sleep WE'LL lSand go to bed
with a.merry heart; wherefore let
every man be merry, and if he
can not, let him resort to merry
company to break off his per
plexatyues.' Wash your hands,
comb your head, keep chest and
stomach warm and head cool;
and if you are seriously ill, make
your will, and have two or three
good nurses, sweet flowers in the
room and no babbling women
about.
"Man should please his wyfe
and bea.e her not, but let her
have her own wyl, tor that she
wyle have, whosoever say nay.
On prison reform, The chefe
remedy is for man to 1--WE and
so do that be deserve not to be
brought into no prison. Fyrste,
1--WE out of syn, and followe
Christe's doctrine, and then use
honest myrth and honest COM
pany, and use to cate good meate

He MADE A MIsTAKE.-A few
days since at the railroad station
while a young couple were await
ing the train, the gentleman was
admon'shed by the biting keen
air to protect his neck from a
prospective cold, by adding a
scarf to his wearing apparel. He
opened his travelling bag, took
out and arranged about his
throat what he supposed to be
au embroidered scarf, but was
convinced of his error by looking
iato the glass after he had seen
the qu'zzing smiles on the faces
of the spectators and was COM
pIetely abashed to find that he
had adorned himself with the
ornateIy-clocked stockings of his
beautiful and now deeply blush

A Mountain Of Glass.

Another marvel recently
brought to light in the Yellow
stone Park of North America is
nothing less than q mountain of
obsidian, or volcanic glass. Near
the foot of the Beaver Lake, Il
band of explorers came upon
this remarkable mountain, which
rises at that place in columner
cliffs and rounded bosses to
many hundreds of feet in altitude
from Kissing hot springs at the
margin Of the lake. As it was

desirable to pass that way, the
party had to cut road through
the steep CLASSY barricade. This
they effected by making huge
fires on the glass to thoroughly
heat and expand it, and then
dasbing the cold water of the
lake against the CLASSY surface,
so as to suddenly cool and break
it up by shrinkage. Large fras

THE JEWS In GERMANY.
{ Boston Herald. j

The war which has for some
time ragged in Germany between
the natives and the Jews, seems
rather TO increase than diminish
in intensity. 1t Is something
more than a popular prejudice
it is a national passion, and the
abIest, most dignified and learned
men have ranged themselves on
either side. 20 us here it seems
very strange that such contest
Of races can be going on in a
land Of so much intellectual aud
liberal pretension, and in the
year 1880, too. The crime OF the
Jews appears to be comprehend
ed chiefly in their financial pros
perity. No sin is so great as
success in the eyes of the nom
successful. The charge is made
that, of the 100000 Israelites in
the empire, hardly any engage in
agric lItural or mercantile pur-
suits but they control trade,
rule the money market, and eat
up the country with their avarice
and usury. They are not mate
rally different from the rest OF
the human family. They engage
in such occupations as they are
best adapted to, and find most
profit in. They excel in buying
and bartering; why should they
quit the market for the field and
workshop, where they could not
earn living. They have no mo-
nopoly Of their callings, which
are open to all alike. Commerce
is as moral, as noble, as patriotic
as tilling the soil or making
tools. II the Jews. of Germany
we're poor, they would not be at
tackled. But they are many of
them very rich and this is their
offence. The prejudice against
them seems to be only another
phase of the capital and labor
question. No one assumes that
they are more wicked or criminal
than other people. The civiliza-
ton Of the Germans is compare
lively new, and the present hos
tllity to a race who have done
nothing more than to make
money, would indicate that their
civilization is far from complete.
Violent prejudices against races
are not rare; unhappily, in other
states claiming to be enlightened,
but it is also most unprecedented
that the ablest aud most schol-
arIy miuds should be, as they
are in Germany, so violent aad
virulent, without any just or
tangible cause. 1t is enough to
make one think that over there
the age has slipped back several
centuries. ...

THE FACTORY GIRL.

Writing from Boston to the
Chicago Journal, a correspon
dent relates the story OF such
mutations in a life as may be
considered characteristic OF
American experiences. 10 1865
there came to the metropolis of
New England, from Penobscot,
in Maine, a young orphan girl,
who, after vainly striving to
maintain 4herself comfortably at
home by school-tea hing, had
decided to essay the fortunes OF
factory girl in a larger city.
Entering the hoop-sklrt manu-
factory OF a private firm IN Bos-
ton, she devoted all her energies
to mastery of the business, that
he1 confinement to mere drudg-
cry might not be long protracted,
and this to such effect that In a
years time she was promoted to
the position of salesWoman. In
two years more her superior
mental capacity and practical
tact maae her the chief sales
woman of the establishment, and
through this last position she
was brought to the acquaintance
of certain rich California mer
chant buying goods for his store
iu San Francisco. The acquain-
tance matured into a mutual re-
gard Of a graver nature. When
the Californian closed his busi-
ness account for the time being
by asking the saleswoman to 60
back with him to San Francisco
as his wife she yielded a grace
ful assent. After "a quiet we'd
ding the two departed together
for the Pacific coast, where the
ensuing four years were passed
with all the harmony and pros
perjty requisite for the smooth
est progress Of married life. The
wife now of a rich man, and the
possessor Of abilities and per-
sonal comeliness to grace a high
social station, the former factory
girl assumed a commanding po-
sition in the society of her new
home, and became a leader in
matters of aristocratic taste and
fashion. After four years, how
ever, the Americanism of her
destiny found tragic demonstra-
tion. Some months ago her hus-
band was tempted into one of
those extravagant mining specu-
lations which. .Eare the bane of
California, and entered too deep
ly to be able to withdraw before
the inevitable collapse and crash.
In few hours of sinking values
be was dragged down from wealth
to poverty, aud revepged him.
self upon fortune by committing
suicide, The sound of the fatrl
pistol shot awoke the bereaved
wife from her four years dream
of happiness and plenty to the
old reality of her girIish home
lessness and want. The expenses
of the self -destroyer's burial left
her with barely enough remain
ing from recent wealth to secure
her return to Boston, where she
is once more working for
livelihood as though the Califor-
MIA episode had never frightened
her existence.
