True Manhood,

A true man is an earnest man, an iu-
dustrious man, sincere man, and shove
all a man who never st OPS u perform
n mean or vulgar action. His soul.
his mind and his body grow in strength
and Jea ty year by year. His true
worth and greatness are to be Justly
stimated by taking into consideration
hissusefuln, IS 10 the world and the hap.
piness he conveys upon others.
Only true man can beeome great
reformer or success sful moral physic;an
A man must practice what he breaches
In order to carry conviction with his
neories of theology or philosophy; he
must live up to his creed by acts as well
as by words eloquently nit red. A man
s ould never put himself forward for
a pilot and i've the life OF csstaway
Earnestness and honesty are great help

might as well talk to bare walls.
1he soul OF a true man is without de
ormity. No SOU that is misshapen ca ~
| long Z main concealt d from n rnowl-
tuge OF the world Ii annot be h d.
den by n sanctimun Gus face pla siole
words, osteniat Gus benevo tnce, and
rretentious pie;y. A bad character is
as hard 10 conceal rs the limp OF a
lame soldier. A man without gen.
ulne goodness is soon consigned 10
ms proper level in society. He may
hold Lis head high for o ccusid
erable space of time, but he is seldom
! ultimately successin in impositi IN. .
There are little loopholes in his mean
nature through which keen and observ-
I ing individuals may regard his imper-
feclions. A man may outlive a bad
| reputation, but he cannot permanently
sustain good one by continuous frsuo,
dissimulation and hypocrisy. Nobody
can commit fraud and many misdeeds
without discovery. The i,.ll of many
individuals has been rendered hopeless
by reason OF their having attributed to
themselves rare virtues and qualities of
neart they never really possessed.
Anotbtr quality of true manhood is
, iaith "a and love for humanity. To be
| human is to be iallible. There is no
| sunny spot on this green earth where
perft ct beings dwell. The hest and truest
living men and women have their weak
nesses and imperfections. THUS all
should learn to look chart ably upon the
errors OF others who are conscious OF
their own feelings.
There is much that il good and pure
in humanity, rs well as many things
that arc evil and odious. 1t is unreason
able to believe that all are treacherous
and false because one person has been
untrue. 1t is unjust to affirm that one
who has committed single error has nc
remaining grains of good in him.

What Language Did They Use.

A gentleman informs us thai he was in
New Hampshire last summer, when the
following incident came under his oh
servation: The men were NOW ng 10 q
field, and accompanying them was a
large Newfoundland dog, who watched
the operations. and saw some molcs
start in the grass; the dog caught sew
eral, digging for them and killing them
A II at once the dog disappeared and was
gone tor some time. Looking up the
field in the direction of the farmhouse,
cur informant saw the dog trotting
down toward the men. ana by his side
Was trotting the house Cat, the greatest
cordiality al ways existing between the
two animals. The cog brought the
cat directly to the swath, and soon
pussy understood what was up AS

and killed him, and when one retreated
to nole, the dog scented and dug INN

A Human Magnet.

Mr.. and Mrs. John G. Collins, of St.
Paul, Mimi, are astonished, almost
dismayed, at remarkable popularity
only .ately observed in their son. a boy
ten years old. The boy is healthy one,
with nothing cd in his appearance, ex
cept that close observers ight conside er
his head djspropoltionately large. In
school he appears as a rather bright
scholar, but without particularly stu
dious habits-just stout n-year-oid
boy, with boys inclination for play
and mischief, but quick 10 learn when
he has to study. The popularity is that
the boys left hand is a wonderfully
strong magnet. Metal articles OF light
weight attach themselves to his hand so
that considerable force is re quired to re-
move them. Knives, pins, needles,
buttons, etc, enough TO cover his hand,
will thus attach themselves so firmly
that they cannot be shaken off. Still
more, the attraction is Sd strong that a
common coal-scuttle can be lifted by it.,
and heavier implements have been lifted
by stronger persons taking hold of his
arm. With heavy articles. however, the
boy complains OF sharp pains darling
along his arm. In less degree his left
arm and the whole left side of his body
exerts same power; but it is not at
all manifest on his right side.

Tea Gowns--ChiIdren Dresses,

The latest novelty in this kind of
house dresses is the recently imported
tea gown" new garment that can be
classified neither as dress or wrap

time Of the first empire, when revival
OF the classic Greek dress was attempted,
which lasted until about le4o. They
are made of tinted twilled silks, the
waists under the arms, no fullness in
| the skirts, sleeves close-ftting, with
slashes and puifs at the shoulders; neck
square, and puff, ruffla or tucks at the
edge of the short skirt. The idea origi-
mated with the Asthetic club, of Lon

criticism outside of artistic circles in

Remarkable Instances of Instinct, ,

Muskrats, in their win'er excursions
under the ice to their feeding
grounds, which are frequently at
great distances from their abodes,
take IN breath at starting and
remain under the water as long as they
can. Then they cnn ris to the ice. an
breathe out the air in their lungs, whicl,
remain in bubbles against the lower sur.
lace OF the ice. They wait till this air
recovers oxygen from the water and the
ice, and then take it in again and 20 on

Swearing Her In.

A Nevada newspaper thus describes
the swearing in of Miss kittrell, new
clerk OF the Nevada legislature:
Miss Kittrell is a pale, petit young
lady. with very serious, self-possessed
manner. Judge Hawley adjured Miss
Kittrell to support the constitution and
the laws, not to bear arms against her
country, and TO pay no attention TO the
laws of the legislature of other States
when they happened to conflict with
those of the battle born State. He
assured her, from the tome in his hand,
that she was not eligible s a servant OF
the State if she had, since the adoption
OF the constitution of Nevada, fought u
duel, acted as a second at a duel or
carried challenge to fight duel. The
young lady was able to set Judge
Hawley's mind at rest on these points,
for he seemed TO take her little nod at
the end OF his paralyzing sentences as
entirely satisfactory.

How TO SpOil a Child.

!. Begin young to give him whatever
he cries for.
2. Tia k freely before the child about
ms smartness as incompatible.
>. Tell him that he is too much for
you, that you can do nothing with him
4. Have divided cousels as between
father and mother.
8. Let Lin learn to regard his father
as q creature of unlimited power, ca
PRECIOUS and tyrannical; or as a mere
whipping machine.
9. LIT him learn, from his fathers
example lie, to desl ise his mother.
DO not know or care who his COM
panions may be.
8 Let him read whatever he likes,
Let the child, whether boy or girl,
rove the streets in the evenings-a good
school tor both sexes.
10. Devote yourself to making money,
remembering that wealth is better
legacy for your child than principles IN
the heart and babi's in life; and let h i'm
have plenty OF money to spend.
ii. Be not with him in hours of recre-
alton.
IL. Strain at a gnat and swallow a
camel; chastise severely for foible and
laugh at Il vice.
IL. Let him run about from church
Eclecticism in religion is the order oi
tie day.
IA Whatever burdens of virtuous
requirements you lay on Lis shoul6 ers,
touch not with one OF your fingers
Preach gold and practice irredeemable
greenbacks.
These rules are not untried. Many
parents having proved tuem, with sub

spoil your chilli, you will at least have
the comfortable reflection that you have
done what you could.

A public Gale OF the personal fl ects of a

lately in LONDON. The catalogue, say
the London Queen, describes vas,
number of articles Of wearing app ,rtl
all of which belonged to the late Cowa-

A notion OF the extensive character ol

that OF shawls alone there were no 's,
than 500 speem ms, while there are SOC
lace and other handkerchiefs, $40 pan
OF silk hose and 1000 pairs of gIoves, be

These are divided into no less than
800 lots. Most of them appear to have
never been in use, and scores upon
scores of handkerchiefs remain nea ly
folded as when they were original y
purchased. In almost every case the
