Ii M ust he Done.

Morality must be taught in the
public schools if the nation would
not become morally bankrupt. 1t
might be difficult to determine the
amount of culture for the head and
heart. The recitation is the teach
er's opportunity to teach the great
est of all lessons-how to live. 1t is
the time in which to cultivate a
taste for the beautiful in nature
which pervades the whole universe,
and to mark the deep and subtitle
distinctions between right and
wrong. The strength, the peculiar
tiles and duration of character, rest
upon that of the individual who
composes it. The foundations of
character must be laid in youth. We
are suffering to-day from spirit
that shuts out all moral obligations,
and regards not the rights OF others.
Morals, as such, must be the centre
of any education scheme. 1t is i'm
possible to indicate the methods by
which those lessons may be incul-
Gated. These virtues must be en-
bodied in the teacher, and radiate in
rays of light. The public schools
should be long enough and wide
enough to embrace the knowledge
of morality and truth.

Can Presby terians Dance?

The Presbyterians of Pennsylva-
mia are endeavoring to decide wheth-
er dancing is wrong. In an evil
moment Herbert Donaldson, a men,
ber in good and regular standing of
the Emlenton church, attempted to
walk through quadrille at private
residence, and the session expelled
him for dancing. He appealed to
the Clarion presbytery, but it re-
fused to grant its appeal. He then
appealed to the synod of Erie, and
in a plea of four hours stated his
position, the main points of which
were that dancing in itself was not
a sin against the laws either of God
or Of man that only its abuse made
it sin; that he was not charged
with dancing to excess that the de-
cision was not sustained by evil
dence, and was cruel and unjust.
Two days were occupied in a heated
discussion. The final ballot resulted
in a vote of 73 to 20 against sustain
ing the decision. But this is not the
end. The case will be taken to the
general assembly, which will be
called upon to decide the important
question, can Presbyterians dance? !?

He Got Ii.

One of the most touching things
we have ever read in a long time is
that story of robber and a poor
lone woman near Franklin, Ohio.
The robber came to her house at
night and demanded her money or
her life. She hadn't much money or
much life either, but she preferred
giving up the former rather than
the latter so she brought her little
store and placed it in his hand. He
looked it over carefully, to see that
she didn't palm off any twenty cent
pieces for quarters, and facetiously
told her that he could credit her for
only ninety-four cents on the trade
dollars, chiding her for taking them
at their face value. Haven't you
anything else of value ? inquired the
bold, bad burglar, looking about the
scantily furnished apartment, "a
child's bracelet, ring-anything will
be thankfully received" She had
nothing more, she replied with a
Sigh. A thought struck him. Your
husbandwas a soldier, was he not ?
She acknowledged that he was, and
was killed in the war. Then he
must have had a revolver be con-
tinued, searching her countenance.
'Ah, you grow confused, you stam-
mer; your manner betrays you.
Get that revolver at once In vain
the woman implored him to spare
that harmless trinket, almost the
sole memorial of her husband she
had lost. She had pawned many
things when in distress, but had al
ways hung on to that. But the rob-
Der was unrelenting; sobbing Bit
terly she went to a bureau drawer
and removed the precious relic,
around which clustered SO many
recollections. Must you have it?'
said she, as she advanced with trem-
bling steps toward him. yes, /
must said the robber, extending
his hand. We'll, then, take it, said
she, gently pressing the trigger for
the last time. There was loud, re-
port, and the robber tumbled over
dead. The community should pen
sion that woman.-CincinnaG Sat

How 10 Save Lamp Chimneys.

A Leipsic journal, which makes a
specially of matters relating to glass,
gives a method which it asserts will
prevent chimneys from cracking.
The treatment will not only render
lamp chimneys, tumblers and the
like articles more durable, but may
be applied with advantage to crock
cry, ston eware, porcelain, etc. The
chimneys, tumblers, etc., are put in
to a pot filled with cold water, to
which some common table salt has
been added. The water is well boil
ed over fire, and then allowed to
cool slowly. When the articles are
taken out and washed, they will be
found to resist afterward any sudden
changes of temperature. The pro-
cess is simply one of annealing, and
the slower the cooling part of it is
conducted the more effective will be
the work.

Successful Literary Names.

Clemens, the humorist { better
known as Mark Twain), has done
better than any man of his turn OF
labor. He has been Is years before
the public, and during that time has
become rich enough to live off his
income. His property in Hartford
is worth more than $4,000. Mrs.
Stowe has made more By her pen
than any other American woman,
and has probably cleared 100000
This may seem like large sum, but
when it is spread through a quarter
of century it is not such an i'm
mense sum as it first appears to be.
Marian Harland (Mrs. Terhune) who
has written industriously for 20
years, has probably made $4,000 by
a dozen novels. Her cookbook has
also been very profitable. Mary j.
Holmes has been also highly sue
cessful. Gail Hamilton Miss Dodge
enjoyed a good sale of lrer books
during her early days of authorship,
but her vanity got the better of her
judgment, and she quarreled with
her publishers. Her next book was
devoted to the quarrel, and at once
impaired her popularity. She now
has corner in the papers, but will
never do much i'm books again.
Walworth, who was shot by his son,
never made much out of his books,
and they were, in fact, too inferior
to sell without extraordinary puff
ing. Josh Billings SHAW has found
unusual popularity. He is witty
and says many wise as well as funny
things. 1t seems pity that such a
clever fellow should be obliged to
borrow the jokes of poor Artemus
Ward and print them as original,
but such is one of the weaknesses OF
funny fellows. Carleton has paid
Shaw $4,000 for his almanac, which
has been issued for 10 years or more.

people delight in using it. He con-
clndes as follows: To-day I suffer
in bonds as a patriot. Washington
led the armies of the revolution
through eight years of bloody war
to victory and glory. Grant led the
