Don't gamble. It's II sin to bet
On the wrong morse.
Don boast of your little vices
They will advertise themselves.
Don't worship wealth. 1t is bet

Don let your dog sit in-frOnt of

Don't spend your life in repro
wing the sins of Your friends. Try

Don't trust your minister too far.
Better keep awake and see that he
breaches no false doctrine.
Don't imagine you are fit for

how to edit a newspaper.
Don't ask your butcher what his

WASHimGToH'S TOMB.

The arched entrance is protected
by double iron gates. Within the
enclosure are seen the sarcophagi.
The one on the right is ornamented
by the United States coat Of arms
upon it drapped flag, and bears the
single word-Washington. To the
left, perfectly plain is the sarcopha-
gus bearing the words, Martha, con-
sort Of Washington, aged seventy
one years. Beyond this is the vault
containing thirty bodies Of the FAM
lily and relations. The last inter
ment at this receptacle was made in
1887. The vault was then sealed, the
rear door locked and the key thrown
into the Potomac. Leaving this i'm
pressive locality, at whose portals
even Europeans bow with uncovered
heads, we find near our pathway the
Washington Oak, grand old tree,
230 years of age, measuring twelve
feet il circumference. Beneath those
spreading branches, already venera-
BILE, sat the Father Of his Country

from the tree was planted with great
care at st. Petersburg by the late

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

A distinguished writer, speaking
| Of the duties which parents owe
| their children, says: 'A mother
makes a great mistake when she
does not constantly court the con-
fidence of her daughter. The daugh-
ter should share all her secrets with
her mother Many a home has
been blighted; and shame has come
to many Il household because the
mother was too busy Or too care ess
to keep herself in constant sympa-
thy with her daughters. The same
is true of the father and son. The
young man who spends his evenings
from home, and feels that it would
be robbIng him of his manly indie
pendence if he should tell where he
goes, is banking against every in
terest in the future. Fathers and
mothers should never allow them
selves to grow so old that they are
not interested in all that interests
their children and their young peo-
pie. Home comforts and home
amuSements, and the best society of
young people should be sought with
more care than choice investments
in stock and bonds: for one pays
dividends for only a few years, the
other will go on compounding it's
interests long after you are gone.
Young people crave recreation and
amusement, and will generally have
it; how much better that it should
be enjoyed in the homes Of the land,
and directed by loving hands. Your
wild boys and thoughtless girls are
mainly recruited from home where
enjoyment is not to be found.
If you see the boys and girls Of
the household full Of fun and frolic
should not grow anxious that you
do not see more tears and solemn
faces. These come soon enough
amid the anXieties and rerpleXities
of life. Make home the happiest
place in ali the world-so that your
sons and daughters, as they go out
into the great world to buffet With
lis trials and temptations, will i'll
every quiet moment hear the echo
of its loving words and remember
its admonitions, and thus be strong
to conquer in every honorable pur-
suit"

BURGLARY AT A LADY'S REQUEST

Everybody who is seeking real rest
and health this summer vowed when
she left home shat she wasn't gong
to dance any this summer, not she!
To make sure, she left all suitable
finery for such dissis spations at home.
But she comes up after it in due time
or she sends by some friend, to whom
she gives careful directions how to
break into the house and into her
trunks and chests, without regard to
the danger that the poor fellow may
find himself in the Police Court next
morning after his innocent attempt
to carry out her mandates. | know
a young lady living in New Bedford
who actually did this one summer.
We were at Oak Bluffs, and she made
up her mind to have certain rich
silk dress, trimmed with very aluable
point lace, and her diamonds, for the
grand illumination ball. Her moth
er was away from home, the house
shut up, and this young lady hadn
the keys; so she told a friend-a mere
acouaintance-how to get into the
house by window, and where to
find the valuables. He brought them
safely, and suppose she would do
the same thing again. Boston Cor.

WRITING FOR THE PRESS.

Write upon one side of the sheet
only. Why? Because it is often
necessary to cut the pages into
takes fer compositors, and this can
not be done when both sidss are writ
ten upon.
Write clearly and distinctly, being
particularly careful in the matter Of
proper names and words from foreign
languages. Why? Because you
have no right to ask an editor or
compositor to waste his time puzzlipg
out the results of your selfishness.
Don't write in microscopic hand.
Why? Because the compositor has
to read it across his case, at dis
tance of nearly two feet; also be-
cause the editor often wants to make
additions and other changes.
Don't begin at the top of the first
page. Why? Because if you have
written head for your article, the
editor will probably want to change
it; and il you have not, which is the
better way, he must write cne. Be-
sides, he wants room in which to
write his instructions to the printer
as to type to be used, where and when
the proof Is to be sent, etc.
Never roll your manuscript. Why?
Because it maddens and exaspprates
every one who touches it-editor,
compositor, and proof-reader.
Be brief. Why? Because people
don't read long stories. The num-
Der Of readers which any two arti-
cles have is universally proportioned
to the square OF their respective
length. That is, half-column ar
ticle is read by four times many
people as one Of double that length.
Have the fear of the waste basket
constantly and steadily before your
eyes, Why? Because it will save
you vast amount Of useless labor,
to say nothing Of the paper and pos
tage.
Always write your full name and
address plainly at the end of your
letter. Why? Because it will often
happen that the editor will wish to
communicate with you, and because
he needs to know the writer's name
as a guarantee of good faith. If
you use a pseudon or initials, write
your name and address below it. Il
will never be divulged.
These precepts III thy memory
keep, and f,r fear you might forget
them, cut them out and put them
where you can readily run through
them, when tempted to spill inno-
cent ink Our words for it, those
who heed these rules will be beloved
and favored il an editorial sanctum.

A SOLDIERS 'DREaM.

just before the battle Of Cedar
Creek, a camp sentinel who was eff
duty temporarily and trying to'put
in little sleep, dreamed that he went
out on scout. A mile to the right
of the camp, he came upon a log
barn, and as it began to rain just
then, he sought shelter, or was about
to, when he heard voices and dis
covered that the place was. already
occupied. After a little investiga-
ton he discovered scouts had taken
up their quarters for the night in the
place, and he therefore moyeaSaway.
The sentinel awoke with such vivid
remembrance Of the details, that he
asked permission to go over aud con-
fer with one of the scouts. When
the log barn was described to this man
he located it at once, having passed it
a dozen times. The dreamer des-
cribed the highway exactly as ii was,
giving every hill and turn, land the
scout put such faith in the remainder
of the dream, that ne took four SOL
diers, one of whom was the dreamer,
and set out for the place. Three
Confederate scouts were asleep in the
straw, and were taken without a shot
being fired.
Three days before the affair at
Reeley's Ford, corporal in the Sixth
Michigan Calvary dreamed that a
brother of his, who was a sergeant in
another company, would have l is
horse killed in action, and would al
most Immediately mount dark bay
horse with a white nose. Within
five minutes both horse and rider
would be killed by she'll This
dream was related to more than a
score Of comrades fully two days be-
fore the fight. Early in the fight
the sergeant's horse was struck
square in the forehead by bullet,
and dropped dead in his tracks. 1t
was scarcely three minutes before a
white-nosed horse, carrying a blood
stained saddle, galloped up to the ser
geant and Ehalted. He remembered
the dream and refused to mount the
i.r1irual, and soon aftep Riske5 up a
black horse. The white-nosed ami
NAL was mounted by q seccnd cor
poral in another regiment, and tie
horse and rider were torn to frag-
ments by a she'll, in full sight of four
companies Of the Sixth.-New York

a CHICAGO GIRL CONCORD,

A young lady on the West side has
just returned from Boston. While
there her uncle,who is reporter on a
sporting paper, took her to the Sam
mer School Of Philosophy at Con-
cord. She heard some one read an
essay on ''the AbsolutenesS Of Abso-
lutism,' and became infatuated with
the doctrine taught.
'Chawles,' said she to her lover the
other evening Che is a clerk in har-
ness store.} 'Chawles, do you realize
that you cannot diferentiate the in
dissoluble absoluteness Of the alb
solute!'
Me- he replied, to tell you the
truth, DON'T and, as it was the first
time he had seen her since she got
back the suggestion uttered struck
him with some alarm.
Do you every stop to inquire she
began, into the MEDICATION or the
rudimentary incipience Of the rhap-
sodical coagmentation of your
thoughts of love?'
well, not to speak Of he said.
Then, if there is one drop Of blood
in your heart that pulsates for me; if
there is one conceit, nooscopic or psy-
cological, that in the incogitancy of
your dreams, or in the perquisition OF
your waking hours, ,absorbs thought
of me, beg that you would elimi-
nate any abstruse OF equivocal par
ticles OF distrust from the profound
and all-transpicious abnormality of
your love-

THE END OF THE WORLD.

Mother Shipton announced the
destruction of the world for 1881, but
she forgot to affix the exact date.
An Italian writer, Leonard Aretino,
who died in the fourteenth century.
was more acuratc. In the fifth VOL
umd Of his work, 'Aquilla Volante,'
he clearly prophesies that the world
will coGae to an end on the 18th Of
November, 1881. There is one con-
ISOLATION, however, and that is that
the annlhilation will not be momen-
tary, but, will on the contrary, last
fifteen days. On the first day the
ocean will overstep her boundaries;
on the SECOND day it will penetrate
into the interior of the earth; on the
third day all river fishes will succomb,
on the fourth day the denizens Of the
deep; on the fifth day the birds will
perish; ON the sixth day the houe,
will collapse (mine have already col
lapsed); on the seventh the rocks, on
the eighth earthquakes will continue
the work OF destruction; on the ninth
the mountains will fall low; on the
tenth mankind will lose the power Of
speech; On the eleventh the graves
will open; on the twelfth it viii rain
stars (hut not the stars of India); OIL
the fourteenth heaven and earth will
be consumed by hre, and ON the fif-
teenth we may expect the resurrection
and the last Indictment.
