Sir" says Ruskin "shere is only one
way to have good servants-that is. to
be worthy ii being well served. All
nature and ali humanity will serve a
good master and rebel against an ignoble
one. And there is DO surer test of the
,{ he af
its servants. for they are their masters
shadows, an distort their faults in fiat
tened mimicry. A wise nation will have
philosophers in is servants hall knav-
ish nation will have knaves there, and q
kindly nation will have friends there.
Only let it be remembered that kindness
means, rs with your chIld, so with your
servant, not indulgence. but care"
Buffalo has the first ereche opened in
the United States. 1t contains at present
nineteen cribs and fifteen cradles. Moth
ers who work out or are destitute can
leave their babes and children up to five
years of age, and have them cared for
gratultously during the day by employed
nurses. This Baby's Home was estab-
lished mainly by the generous gift of
MIR. Benjamin Fitch of New York City,
intends to give to the institution, which
is called the Fitch Creche, the income
from other property he owns in Buffalo,
amounting to $500 month.
1t is said of the late Frank auckland,
the naturalist, that two prominent char
acteristics distinguished him throughout
his earnest life. With him science was.
before all things, the handmade of relig-
ion. In all the moving mechanism of
the world he directly traced the hand of
the Deity, and nothing was more abhor-
rent to his reverent mind than those the
cries of 80 called science which dispense
with a Creator and Ruler. The second
noteworthy trait in his most amiable
character was the childlike spirit of in
curry which ever caused him to bring an
judgment to the inves,iga-
ton of even what, on the face of it,
seemsd absurd
~ Ysss, are Aching Don't GO IL Aiken.
Aiken, South Carolina, owes all or
nearly all Its prosperity TO the crowds of
Northern invalids who seek relief from
pulmonary complaints in its healthtul
The principal hotel acc ON
300 boarders, is kept by Mr..
ShAtfletd, Northern man. Ills enter
prise has helped to change stupid little
hamlet into populous village, and one
would think that common sense, if not
reasonable gratitude would render MN
popular among the natives. He has
grievously offended them, however, by
affirming that while the freedmen had
better keep out of politics, they shoulu
vote for the Republican ticket on election
days. The village paper devotes whole
columns to the Reproduction of this her
esy, and declares with beautiful consist
ency that while the negro may enjoy all
the rights of freedom and citizenship,
he must take his laws from the whites.
A pine woods atmosphere may be good
for the con umptive, but if with il he
must breathe in sectional narrowness and
un-American despotism, he will be in
clined to choose other localities, and
capital will follow his example. Aiken
is not the only salubrious place in the
uplands of the South, and it is to be
hoped that the inhabitants generally are
not as foolish as the editor who claims to
represent them
