VIII t do Your Children ReadP

A bad hook, magazine, or newspa
per is aS dangerous to your child as
a vicious sc0mDaniOn, and will as sure
ly corrupt his morals and lead him
away from the pat hs of safety. Every
par, nj should set tins thought clearly
before his mind, and ponder it we'll.
See to what your children read, and
especially to the kind of papers that
get into their hands, for there are
now published scores of weekly pa-
pers, with attractive and spnsuouS il,
lustrations, that are as hurtful to
young and innacpnt souls aS poison
to healthful body.
Many of these papers have attained
large circulatiOnS, and are sowing
broadcast the seeds of vice and crime.
Trenching oh the borders of indecen,
cy, they corrupt The morals. taint the
Imagination, and allure the weak and
unguarded from the paths of limo
cence. The niger to young persons
Il
from this cause was never SO great
al at this time and every father a. d
mother should be on guard against
an enemy that is sure To meet their
child.
Our mental companions = the
thoughts and feelings that dwell
within Us when alone, and influence
over our actions these are " hat lifts
Us up or drag us down. If your
child has pure and good mental com
panionS, he is safe; but if, through
corrupt books and papers, evil
thoughts and impure iinaginings
get into his mind, his danger is
imminent.
Look to il, then, that your chill
dren are kept as free as possible from
this taint. Never bring into your
house IA paper or periodical that is not
strictly pure, and watch carefully lest
any such get into the hands of your
growing up boys.

VALUE OF NEATNEss. A very

appearance of her bedroom. There
was pos itively not chair in it that 1
c red to seat myself in. Her child's
playthings were scattered all over the
room, together with fragments oflun-
chton. The bed was in disorder.
You must excuse appearances"
said the lady, as soon as | was seated.
1.-The chamber maid busted and put
the room to rights only a couple of
hours ago; but it is so hard to keep
anything straight or nice when one
has child around" "And YOU
must not think" added her husband,
with shade of annoyance on his
face "that because we live so uncom-
tsrtably now, we never did have any
thing nice. We had the prettiest
little home you can imagine when
we lived in the country, and my wife
kept ii as neat a. a pin." l doubted
The assertion. Time must, in the
speakers recollection, have cast a
glamour over that little home, and
made him gloss over his statement
considerably. His wife's appearance
from her head to her feet. gave evi>
dence OF the sloven. And l knew
well that the woman who is natur
ally orderly and neat will retain her
good habits, no matter how she is
situated. She will unconsciously
pick up and put to rights all through
the day, giving touch here and a
push there as she goes along. 1t is a
most unfortunate thing for a man
when he finds himself tied Ior lite to
Il slovenly waman. No wonder he
meyer looks at home for happiness.

for man to live alone and so He
formed a helpmeet for him. In re.
gard to the first marriage, the speaker
had no theory of his own, bat gave a
number of those he had read. The
speaker emphasized the fact that
marriage is Gods great lazy of happ;
ness in this world, and whenever
affection, industry, and virtue guard
the domestic hearth, it never fails of
producing the highest felicity men
and women can know in this world.
Bishop Taylor says "If you are for
pleasure, marry; a good wife is
Heavens last best gift to man, his
angel of mercy, minister of graces
innumerable, his gem of many vir-
tues, his casket of Jewels" Old
Bishop Taylor had forcible way of
putting things, but Ia this case his
language is the expression of the
worlds best experience. Home,
family, society, civilization, and hap.
piness radiate from the sacred @rdi-
nance of marriage. True marriage
is of the heart. sanctioned by civil
enactments and religious ceremonies.

How to Get Married"

In the course Of a lecture before the
Yaung Mems Christian Association
of Utica, recently, upon The subject
of "How to Get Married." the rev.
erend lecturer said: Every man
wants a wife, anu every woman
wants a husband. Such is the un-
written law of human nature. In
obedience to this law men and women
are found marrying the world over.
People want to marry, and marry
they Will, a somebody of they can, n

How TO LIVE LoNG.-Some wears
ago the French Ministry addressed
circular to all the projects, desiring
them to institute inquiries as to the
conditions which appeared peculiarly
to favor longevity in their several
districts, and the replies are said to
have almost unanimously indicated
as the leading elements or influence,
great sobriety, regular labor and usu-
ally in the open air, daily exercise
short of fatigue, early hours, a com
paratively well-to-do life, caImness
of mind in meeting troubles, moder-
ate intellectual pewers and family
life. The beneficial influence of mar
riage on the duration Gf life is uni.
versally admitted, and remarriage
does not seem unfayorable. The pre-.
fects also indicate heredity as fire.

mate is likewise admitted this, lat

THE OTHER FELLOWS SIN.-How
easy it is te see the sins of other peo
pie. Even Il child can do that. A
BostonSunday Schoolsuperintendent
tells of an experience of his in sup
port of this truth. One Sunday he
found in his school class of urchins
recently gathered in from the streets
without "A teacher for the day, so he
took them in hand. He came right
down to first principles, and talked
of sin and salvation. One of his
pointed questions was: ''Is there
any sinner i'm this class ?" Instantly
the answer came from one of the
brightest boys, who pointed to an
other boy at the end of the seat and
said: eyes, that feller down there"
That boy was more outspoken than
he would have been if he had been
longer in the school, but his mode of
judging was much like that of those
long under Christian training. There
is no sorrow like our sorrow, and no
sin like-that feller's down there.

A CURIOUS CALCULATION. "A
New England railroad superintend.
ent, having directed that in painting
and lettering the cars of the company
the letters "R. r." should be left off,
leaving only the name of the road.
as for instance the "New York and
New England'-the Hartfort Coau-
ant thinks if man cannot tell
railroad car by looking at it he cannot
infer it from the mystic double r.
And it thereupon proceeds to make
this somewhat curious calculation
1t may be estimated that lettering
cars costs cent letter. Now there
were, year ago 423,0l3 freight cars
in this country. Some have been
smashed since then, but many more
have been built. There are probably
450, 900 to day. If so. the cost of the
unnecessary four RS on them has
been $4,000. This is small sum of
money, but there are plenty of peo.
pie who would be willing to save 1t.
especially if at the same time they
avoided foolish performance. The
example of the New York and New
England is commendable one.
Either follow it or else label cars in
large letters: This is a railroad car.

SUNDAY AFTERNOONS. After the
Sunday dinner what ? Well, il all
depends" A person whose brain is
wearied with intellectual work dur.
ing the week, or whose nervous sys-
tenn is exposed to the strain of busi.
ness Or professional life, ought t0
sleep, within an hour or two after
his Sunday dinner, if he can. 1t il
surprising how much like seven. day
clock the brain will work, If the hab.
it of Il Sunday nap" be once formed.
Nature will take advantage of it as
regularly and gracefully as she does
OF the nightly sleep and do her best
to make up lost time.
People on the other hand whose
week Of toll is chiefly physical, may
well give their minds activity while
their bodies are resting. Two ser.
mons and three or four hours of solid
reading are real rest to some on Sun
day, while to others such a course
amounts to positive Sabbath break
ing. Sunday IS day of rest, not of
work, religious or otherwise. 1t isa
day for repese, not for exhaustion.
But what the dogmatists on one side
and the iliberaIs on the other are apt
to overlook, is the fact that all men do
not rest alike, and what may help to
save one may aid in killing another.

THE SILVER LINING.

There's never day so sunny
But a little cloud appears;
There's never a life so happy
But has its time of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
Whenever the tempest cfestfs.
There's never garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There's never heart so hardened
But it has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border
To find the forget-me-not.
There's nevera sun that rises
But we know twill set at night;
The tints that gleam in the morning
At evening are just as bright,
And the hour that is sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never dream so happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There's nevera dream ofsorrow
But the waking inakes us glad
We eshaif look some day VIII wonder
At the troubles we have had.

It's What You Spend.

''It's what theell spend, my son, >" said
a sage old Quaker, mot what theell
make, which Will decide whether thee's
to be rich or not" The advice was trite,
for 1t was Franklin's il another shape
Take care of the pence, and the pounds
will take care of themselves" But it
cannot be toe often repeated. Men are
continually indulging in small expenses,
saying to themselves that it is only q
tritie, yet forgetting that the aggregate
is serious, that even the seashOre is made
no of petty grains of sand. Ten cents a
day Is $50 80 n year, and that is the in
terest of capital of 5000. The man
that saves ten cents q day only, is SO
much richer than he who does not, as if
he owned Il life estate IN n house worth
5000; and If invested quarterly does not
take half that time. But ten cents day
is child's play, some will exclaim. Well,
then, John Jacob Astor used to say that
when a man who wishes to be rich has
saved S1O,O 900 he has won half the bat
tie. Not that Astor thought $4,000
much, but he knew that in making such
sum a man acquired habits of prudent
economy, which would keep him ad-
vancing in wealth. How many, how
ever, spend SO, 900 in u few years in ex-
ira expenses, und then, on looking back,
cannot tell, as they say, where the
money went to-" To save is to get rich.
To squander, even in small sums, is the
first step towards the poor-house.

Lemons.

To be "twelve miles from lemon" /"
may be as much of a misfortune, after
all, as Gail Hamilton represented it.
One of our exchanges publishes the fol-
lowing list of uses" which would make
the fruit almost a panacea-and a cos
metic besides.
The lemon is n native of Asia, al
though it is cultivated in Italy. Port
ugal and the south of France. In
Europe, however, it seldom exceeds the
dimensions of the smallest tree. while in
its native State it grows ninety feet in
height.
Every part of this tree is valuable in
medicine, though we rarely employ any
of it but its fruit, and that is the lemon
itself; and every one knows how to en-
ploy this, as in lemonade: Squeeze the
Juice IN cold water, that is the shortest
way, or to cut it in slices and boil it:
either way is good. Lemonade is one of
the best and safest drinks for any per-
son, whether in health or not. 1t is
suitable to all stoma Ii diseases, is excel
lent in sickness, in cases of jaundice
gravel, liver complaint and fevers. 1t is
specific against worms and skin COM
plants.
Lemon juice is the best anti-seorbutic
remedy known. 1t not OILY cures the
disease, but prevents it. 1t also pre-
vents chilblains. Lemon is used in in
termlttent fevers, mixed with hot black
tea or coffee, without sugar.
