The eirciet Of allotted time,
And as the daylight follows night,

And rules his creatures all by love.

RULES FOR LIVING.

am no doctor, quack or -vender,
yet ! have had pretty good long life
and happy one. May not, there
fore, give my simple rules for health in
hope some poor traveller on the up or
down hill Of life may look at them and
perhaps be benefited by them had
practiced them for many years, and they
have done me good perhaps they may
do good to others.
They are inexpensive and may be
easily abandoned if they cause any
harm.
Keep in the sunlight just as much as
possible. A plant will not thrive with
out the sunbeam, much less a man.
Breathe as much fresh air rs your
business will permit. This makes fresh
blood ; but it will never be found with.
in the four walls Of your building.
Beneath the open sky, just there, il
comes to you.
BE strictly temperate. You cannot
break organic law or any other law with
impunity.
Keep the feet always warm and head
cool. Disease and death begin at the
feet more commonly than we think.
lfout Of order, see which of the above
rules you have not observed, then rub
yourself all over with a towel saturated
with salt water, well dried, and begin
upon the rules again.
Look ever on the bright side, which is
the heaven side Of life. This is far bet
ter than any medicine.
These seven simple rules, good for
the valid or invalid, il rightfully observ-
ed, would save, apprchend, a deal of
pain, prolong your life, and so FAR As
health goes, make it worth having.

Is IT TRUE a-Home is a refuge place
from the storms, the fret and worry OF
life. II is place where the husband

the wife reigns in her benignity and
grace; not, il may be, the grace Of out
ward beauty or cultivation, but Of true
womanhood, where she receives honor
and love even as she gives them both.
II is a place where children are happier

HOW MARRIED PEOPLE WOULD BE
HAPPIER.

II home trials were never told to
neighbors.
II they kissed and made up after every
quarrel.
If household expenses were proper
toned to receipts.
II they tried to be as agreeable as in
courtship days.
II each would try to be support and
comfort to the other.
II each remembered the other was 4
human being, not an angel.
IL women were as kind to their hus-
bands as they were to their lovers
II fuel and provisions were laid in
during the high tide of summer work.
II both parties remembered that they
married for worse as well rs for better.
II men were as thoughtful for their
wives as they were for their sweet-hearts.
II there were fewer silks and velvet
street costumes and more plain, tidy
house-dresses.
II there were fewer "please darlings,"
in public, and more common manners
in private.
II wives and husbands would take
some pleasure as they go along and not
degenerate into mere toiling machines.
Precreation is necessary to keep the heart
in its place, and to sc; along without il
is big mistake.
II men would remember that woman
can't be always smiling who has to cook
the dinner, answer the door-bell half
dozen times, and get rid of neigh
bor who has dropped in, tend to sick
baby, ,.tic up the cut finger OF two-year-
old, gather up the playthings Of four
year.old, tie up the head of six-year-
old on skates, and get an eight-year old
ready for school, to say nothing Of
sweeping, cleaning, etc. A woman with
all this to contend with may claim il as
a privilege to lookand feel a little tired
sometimes, and a word of sympathy
would not be too much to expect from
the man, who during the honeymoon
wouldn't let her carry as much as sun

GRACE IN LITTLE THINGS.

There is an old story of a certain
minister, who, in arranging his toilet
for his parochial calls, found button
gone from his shirt collar, and all at
once the good mans patience left him.
He fretted, and scolded, and said un-
dignificd and unkind things, until the
tired wife burst into tears and escaped
to her room. The hours of the after
noon wore away, during which the par
son called on Brother Jones who was all
bowed down with rheumatism, and
found him patient, and even cheerful !;
upon young Brother Hall, wasting away
with consumption, and found him anx-
ious to 60 and be with Christ; upon
good old grandmother Smith, in her
poor, miserable hovel Of home, and
found her singing one of the good old
hymns, rs happy rs 4 bird upon young
Mrs. Brown, who had few weeks be.
fore buried her only child, and found
her trustful and serene in the view of
Gods love which had como to her
through her affliction. The minister
went home filled with what he had seen,
and when evening cane, and he was
seated in his easy chair, his good wife
near him busy with her needle, he could
not help saying:
"What wonderful thing grace is /
How much it will do There is nothing
beyond its power! Wonderful II can
do all things"
Then the little wife said:
"Yes, il is wonderful, indeed; but
there is one thing that the grace Of God
does not seem to have power to do"
"Ah, what can that be-" asked the
husband.
"Why, il does not seem to have
power to control a minister's temper
when his shirt button is gone"
That was a new doctrine Of grace to
the parson, but it was such version as
many another religious man needs to
remember. As it takes greater skill to
engrave the Lords Prayer upon FIVE
cent piece than upon a broad steel plate,
so it takes more grace to live a good
Christian at home than in public.

EDITOR SATURDAY Press Sir: few months
since the editor OF the advertiser 80 far forgot
himself and his duty to his subscribers as to adj
nit into the columns of snid paper department
headed "Street Talk, which under the guiso of a
low backguard stranger sought to vent his dis
appointed spleen by bar and other slang
epithets and obscene insinuations against promin-
ent personages that at the time called forth de-
cided protest, tho effect only, of which, was to
make the said writer glory in assuming to further
the sales of the paper. But with all tho insults
that have been offered to various persons in this
community, that of last week bears the palm and
forces the question from many voices in this COM
munity as to how long we to be nauseated and
insulted in this manner And considering this
question in it's several bearings am forced to
cept the belief that it will continue just long
the editor is encouraged by the patronage of u
forbearing community who themselves are to
blame in great measure for the insults they
have had served up to them from week to week.
Perhaps if the editor and proprietor not ap-
preciate what is proper to write and admit into
the columns of his paper it is time that an out
ragged community taught him, and in way that
will be surely felt, viz his pocket, for il Is evident
that his other feelings gone forever.
