Self.COntrOI.

In some people passion and emotion
are never checked, but are allowed to
burst out in blaze whenever they
come. Others suppress them by main
force, and preserve a callous exterior
when there are raging fires within.
Others are never excited over anything.
Some govern themselves on some sub,
jects, but not en- others. Very much
can be done by culture to give the will
control over the feelings.
One OF the very best means of Gull
ture is the persistent Withdrawing of
the mind from the subject which pro-
duces the emotion, and concentrating il
elsewhere. The man or woman who
persistently permits their mind TO dwell
on disagreeable themes, only spites
him or herself. Children, of course,
have less self-control, and parents and
teachers must help them TO turn their
attention from that which excites them
to something else; but adults, when
they act like children, ought to bo
ashamed Of themselves. The value Of
self-control as hygienic agent is very
great. 1t prevents great waste of vi.
tality in feeling, emotion aud passion.
1t helps to give one mastery over pain
and distress, rather than it a mastery
over us.

Walter J., the only son OF O widow
Of Nantucket, set sail when twelve years
old with the captain Of whaler. One
dark and rainy night when they were
sailing on the China seas, il began to
blow very hard, and all hands were
ordered aloft to shorten sail. In the
darkness and rain the boy fell from the
mast. Had he fallen upon the deck he
would in all probability have been
killed; but he struck the back-stay-a
rope drawn tight like the string Of a
violin-and rebounded into the water.
Soon the cry came, canaan overheard"
The captain felt very sad when he
learned il was Walter j. He put
ship about and tackled back and forth,
but nothing could be seen Of the boy.
Before giving up the search, however,
he called the men aft and asked them
whether anything else could be done.
"for don't want you to go back to
Nantucket and say that If something
else had been done Walter j could
have been saved" No man, however,
offered a suggestion, and although the
time had been long-perhaps half an
hour-since the lad had fallen over
board, the captain made few turns
more and called on the men for
q final decision whether any
thing more could be done. He
finally concluded to hold on his course,
when one of the men said that he heard
a cry. They listened and soon heard a
call, "Keep her away or you'll run over
me-" Half dozen ropes were thrown
out by as many different persons, when
the boy said: "Make bow line, I'm
too weak to hold on" A bow line is a
rope with large loop firmly tied in it.
It was thrown out, the lad put it over
one leg, held on by his hands and was
drawn on board. He had fallen into the
water with suit OF clothes, tarpaulin,
| overalls and shoes on. He was drawn
out naked as when first appeared in the
world, having managed, in spite of the
great exertion of swimming to divest
himself Of all his clothes in order that
they might not impede his movements.
When asked how he had been able to
endure 80 long he answered that he was
ON the point Of giving up from fatigue
and letting his feet go down, prepar-
atory to sinking, when he thought OF
his mother and kept on. He is still
living in acknowledgement Mag
asine.

His Friendship Gave Ont,

The test of disinterested kindness
and devotion comes at the pinch of sac.
rltice. Those who plume themselves
most upon the former are not always
the most reliable in extremity. Peek,
Sun, Milwaukee paper, relates IN
amusing example:
Not many years ago, doctor here
was called to see man at one of the
hotels, who lived in Iowa. The man
was very sick, and the doctor had his
suspicious about what allied him, but
couldn't tell exactly, so he gave him
something to quiet him. and told the
friend who was with him that lie would
call in the morning. The friend said
he thought as much of the sick man as
he could Of brother, and he would see
him through.
The next morning the doctor called,
and the sick man was alone. He ex-
amined him, and found that he had
small -pox. While he was dealing out
some medicine, the friend came blum
dering in.
Said he, "Doc, that medicine amt
worth continental This man is very
sick"
The doctor said he had come to that
conclusion himself.
"Why," said the friend, 81 rubbed
BIN all night. / think he would have
died if had not rubbed his head.
When man is my friend he can draw
on me for all that is out, and don't you
forget it,"
The doctor said he was glad to hear
1t. He said there was nothing more
touching to him than pure friendship
between men, and he was glad the sick
man had friend that would stick to
him.
"You may be sure OF that" said the
friend. And then he almost intimated
that the doctor did not understand his
business, and said something had got
to be done, if there were any doctors in
Milwaukee that could handle the case.
The doctor was getting little angry,
and when the friend asked, "Do you
know what ais him ?" the doctor said
he thought he did.
Then he pulled down the bed-clothes
and pointed to little swelling near the
little toe, and asked the friend if he
could see it.
"See it OF course I can. It's only
ubtlo plnlple.
The doctor said there was only one
disease that showed that kind of pimples.
"What is that Z" asked the friend, i'm
patiently.
"Smallpox r. said the doctor, in the
most aggravating way.
"Suffering Moses let me out of that
door |" shouted the friend, and the
doctor said you could have played
marbles on his coat-tail. The doctor
fixed mp the patient and when he went
out in the hall the friend was leaning
against trunk, white as sheet.
"Doc," says he, in quivering voice,
"that man in there is nothing to me.
wouldn't go in that room for thousand
dollars. Is there no way to fumigate

Aiming. as We do, topublish q newspaper,
II ia IN accordance with this determination
that we call the attention OF our readers to
facts connected with one Of the largest iactO-
ries employing skilled labor In this country
Last February, dispatches were sent from
st. Louis to the press everywhere that the
molders employed by the Excelsior Manu-
featuring Co., so well and fayorably known
as the makers of the CHARTER OAK STOVES
and RANGES, had made demands that the
Company could not comply with. The re
suit was That the works were curtailed In
their production, and the officers Obliged to
look about them for Indifferent class OF labor.
Now, after nearly four months, during
which time the Company has been con-
stantly adding 10 the small force who stood
by them from the first, MIR. Geo. ID. Dana,
the Secretary, reports that u full force OF eN-
oellent men have been obtained, andthatthe
works are running sufficiently full -handed
to enable them TO fill all orders with even
more carefully constructed goods than be-
fore.
We are pleased 10 chronicle the above, and
also that the molders have admitted defeat,
their places having been filed with strictly
non-UniOn men.
Those Of our readers who kR0t6 what the
CHARTER OAK STOVE Is will rejoice to hear
That its makers have been successful In over
coming what threatened TO be a serions inter-
ruption TO their business, and those who
have been unable for a few weeks to obtain
them will also rejoice, Tor their wants can
now be promptly met. And we would say
TO all who have not yet examined them, do
go at once, and you'll never regret It.
