A Sharp Voice.

The following selection is from Elihu
Burritt's book, recently published:
There is no power of love so hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of soft heart, and do 1t with a
soft touch. But there Is no thing that
love 50 much needs rs sweet voice to
tell what it means and feels; and it is
hard to get and keep it in the right
tone. One must start i'll youth and be
on the watch night and day, at work
and play, to get and keep voice that
shall speak Mt all times the thoughts of
a kind heart. But this is the time when
Il sharp voice is most apt to be got.
You often hear boys and girls at play
say words with quick, sharp tone, AS
if it were the snap of whip. When
one of them gets veXed you will hear
a voice that sounds AS if it were made
up of n snarl, n whine and a bark.
Such a voice often speaks worse than
the heart feels. 1t shows more ill-will
in the tone than in tie words 1t is
often in youth that one gets voice or
tone that is sharp, and sticks to him
through life, and stirs up ill-will and
grief, and falls like a drop of sallon the
sweet Joys of home. Such rs these set
sharp home voice for use, and keep
their best voice for those they meet
elsewhere, just as they world save their
best cakes and pies for guests, and all
their sour food for their own board.
would say to all boys and girls, "use
your guest voice ut home Watch il
day by day, as a pearl of great price
for il will be worth more to you in days
to come than the best pearl hid in the
sea. A kind voice is a JOY like lark
song to the heart what light Is to the
eye. 1t is a light that sings as well a.
shines. Train it to sweet tones now
and it will keep i'll tune through life.

Tobacco Lovers, Beware.

4 gentlem an who cannot use tobacco
without suffering nausea, and who
therefore very naturally concludes that
the use of tobacco is sin, contributes
the following
Then shall the kingdom of Satan he

which, though exceedingly small, being
cast into the ground grew and became
a great plant and spread its leaves

worms found habita.ion thereon,

time, that the sons of men locked upon

thereby. And in the course of time il
came to pass that others snutled it, and
they were taken suddenly with fits, and
they did sneeze, insomuch that their
ewes were filled with tears, and
they did look exceedingly silly. And

A Man Who Kept his Word.

The New York Times says: Many
years ago an orphan boy was taken
from the house of refuge in New York
to work for Patterson tanner. After
a while he complained that he was
overworked and beaten, and at last
ran away, telling the neighbors before
he went that he intended to come back
again when a man and square OFF,
with his unkind employer. On Thanks
giving day stalwart young man called
on the farmer and announced that he
was the identical orphan" and that
he had come to square off with him,
which he proceeded to do in the most
emphatic style, giving the man sound
thrashing. His wife came to the res
cue, but the young man also squared
off" with her, and when big dog was
set on him he polished off the dog, too.
He then announced that the accounts
were all Squared off y and he would
return to his western home, whence ne
had come exps6ssly for the purpose of
fulfilling his threat made when boy.
Before warrant could be issued for
his arrest he was many miles on his way
from Paterson.

4 Hint to Young Husbands.

Love and appreciation are to a
woman what dew and sunshine are to
a flower. They refresh and brighten
her whole life. They make her strong
hearted and keen sighted in everything
the welfare OF her home They
enable her to cheer her husband when
the cares of life press heavily upon him,
and to be Il very providence to her
children. To know that her husband
loves her, and is proud of her, and be-
Geves in her; that even her faults are
looked upon with tenderness; that her
face, to one, ut least, is the fairest in
all the world; that the heart which
to her is the greatest and MODEST, holds
her sacred in its Utmost recesses above
all women, gives her strength and cou-
age, and sweetness, and vivacity which
all the wealth Of the world could not
bestow Let woman's life be per-
vaded with such an influence, and her
heart and mind will never grow old,
but will blossom and sweeten, and
brighten in perpetual youth.

4 Clever Burglar.

The other night two young clerks
were playing billiards in cafe of the
Boulevard st. German, Paris, and
talked freely of their concerns without
needing man who seemed asleep at
an adjoining table. One of them said
to the other:
81 have just inherited $780,"
COIL then we are going to have a
Jolly time of it.
"No, no! / will not touch one cent
of that money. 1t is still in my lodg-
ings, safely hid III chest of drawers
under my shirts. Tomorrow | am
going to carry it to the stock broker
and buy threes."
ing man woke, rose, took his hat and
went out. An hour afterward the
clerks paid for what they had taken,
took their hats--one of them, he who
had inherited $400, found that his hat
had been taken, probably by the sleep
er, and another left in its place. AS
the hat left was just as good as the hat
taken, and as the former fitted him
quite as well, he bore the exchange
philosophically and logged home. He
had no sooner entered his lodgings
than he saw they had been entered
with false keys, his chest of drawers
broken open, and his four hundred
dollars stolen. He did not sleep that
night
The hat left him did not altogether
suit him, so he went to his halter to
change it. His halter told him that
the evening before a man had come to
the shop and had said that he had in
advcrtantly taken gentleman's hat,
and seeing the latter's name inside, he
had called, thinking the halter might
be able to give him the owners name
and address, that he might restore the
hat accidentally taken. The halter
gave the name and address. The burg
lar secured four hundred dollars by the
information given.
The burglars hat was left with the
halter, and a new hat selected. After
the clerk left the halter took the
lining out of the burglars hat, and to
his surprise found under it letter,
bearing an address. He read it, and
found it was from a burglar. promising
aid in a contemplated burglary which
had been planned by the person to
whom it was addressed. The halter
took the letter to the police and told
what had occurred. Before sunset
both burglars were arrested.

A Washington correspondent who
has been closely watching the Guiteau
trial writes his impI essions of the vii
lain
The truth appears to be that Gui-
teau's emartness-for that is the only
word to fit him--has been over-esti-
mated. He has shown so much small
cunning, so much superficial intelli-
gence and so much readiness with d
Iibald tongue, that the public, contrast
ing these evidences of sanity with the
claim of insanity, has probably obtained
an exaggerated idea Of his abilities.
The truth appears to be that Guiteau
is intellectually man of very narrow
range, and ignorant as we'll as depraved.
Those who know him best say that he
has no general knowledge except what
may be gathered from slipshod reading
reading of the newspapers, and never
has mao. There is no evldence that he
ever learned anything thoroughly. His
little speeches in court and his legal
points lorg ago convinced nearly every
one, probably, that he is sane man
but taken by themselves they disclose
his ignorance-by ba / grammar, shock
ing INSTRUMENTATION of words, and Il
mere scrap knowledge of law-and ex-
hibit chiefly the workings of "a nature
overshadowed by depravlty. He had
the intelligence to write trashy pollt-
cal speech, the constructive ability to
devise a murder, and the knavish cum
ming to try hundred little tricks in
court for effect upon the jury; but when
the nature OF insanity was being dis
cussed by learned man he seemed to
he beyond his depth, and had little to
say. 1t is easy to see that the clumsi-
ness of his alleged simulations of insap-
ity, which, the experts say, shows that
he knows nothing of it, could be ac-
counted for upon the same ground.

Josh Billings.
From a New York Letter

The famed writer of the Yankee
proverbs is now about sixty in
years, and shows it. His hair, which
is as long and unkempt as ever, is iron
gray, and his stiff, dropping moustache
is fast changing to the color of old age.
AS he grows older, he seems to be-
come more supremely regardless of
persons, surroundings or opinions. As
he greets one with a machine-like
Chow do we do" or an inanimate
"Good day." the impression is convey
ed that he has arrived at that state of
life and prosperity where he deems
fate powerless to work any alteration
for worse. Billings is essentially man
to himself, taciturn, and unobtrusive
everywhere. He is not so popular as
formerly, his only work now being that
which appears in the New York
Weekly For this service he receives,
perhaps, $4,000 year. His royalty
from the circulation of ProEerbs, his
alnanacs and other works swell his
yearly income to about $1,000. He is
now a willing but not attractive, lee
turerer his services in this field are in
small and waning demand. From the
proceeds of his labor he has amassed
a fortune of over $4,000. All this
money apparently affords himself and
wife but meager and inelegant COM
fort. They pass a quiet, relegated, but
doubtless contented life, in an unpre-
tentious Sixty-third street dwelling
house, tie garrett of which is made to
answer the combined purposes of lit
erary sanctum and store-house.

Weddings.

From the Home Journals Notes on
New York Etiquette" we CLEAN a few
items concerning weddings After the
ceremony and the clerical blessing, the
clergyman copgratulates the husband
and wife, but does not kiss the lady as
was once the custom. Indeed, kissing in
public, says this authority, is no longer
permissible in good society delicate
and refined womanhood has long been
in rebellion against the usage, without
having abolished it, however, until
quite recently. After the breakfast, or
in case of reception, before the guests
disperse, the bride and groom leave for
their dresslpg-rooms quietly, taking no
leave of any one, and prepare for their
departure. They don their travelling
attire, and only favored or especially
invited friends remain with the brides
maids and ushers to throw rice and
worn slippers after their crrriage. The
" best man" has already gone to the
train or steamer to look after their lug
gage and to see them off without vexa-
ton or care taking. No one asks them
whether they are fitting. such ques-
ton being in bad taste The best
man only is aware Of the direction,in
which their honeymoon is rising, and
he is not likely to speak of his knowl-
edge. Bridal gifts are seldom exhibited,
and the few friends who are permitted
to look at them examine them only af-
ter the cards are removed. The giving
OF presents by persons outside of the
family is falling into disrepute, and, by
not a few families, is considered an in
trusionif not an mpertinence.
