The Poison Habit.

But, under all circumstances make firm
stand against the poison habit. II is best to
call things by their right names. The effect
upon the animal economy of every stimu-
liant is strictly that of poison, and every
poison may become stimulant. There is
no bane in the South American swamps, no
virulent compound in the North American
drug stores--chemistry knows no deadliest
poison-whose gradual and persistent obtru-
sion on the human organism will not create
and unnatural craving after repetition of
the lethal dose, morbid appetency in every
way analogous TO the hankering Of the topper
after his favorite tipple. Swallow table
spoonful of landanum or few grains of ar
senious acid every night AT first your
physical conscience protests by every means
in its power nausea, gripes, gastric spasms,
and nervous headache, warn you again and
again; the struggles of the digestive organs
against the fell intruder convulse your
whole system. But you continue the dose,
and nature, true TO her highest law to pre-
serve life at any price, finally adapts herself
to an abnormal condition-adapts your sys-
tenn to the poison at whatever cost of health,
strength and happiness. Your body becomes
an opium machine, an arsenic mill, physi-
illogical engine moved by poison, and per-
forming its vital functions only under the
spur of the unnatural stimulus. But by and
by the faded system fails to respond to the
spur, YOUR strength gives way, and, alarmed
at the symptoms of rapid diiiquim, you re-
solve to remedy the evil by removing the
cause. You try TO renounce stimulation,
and rely once more on the unaided strength
of the ris pifa. But that strength is almost
exhausted. The oil that should have fed
the flame OF life has been wasted on health
consuming fire. Before you can regain
strength and happiness, your system must
readapt itself to the normal condition, aud
the difficulty of that Encouragement will be
proportioned to the degree Of the present
Encouragement; the further you have strayed
from nature, the longer il will take you TO
retrace your steps.-Popular Seisaee Monihly.

and nearly out Of that. IL il shame TO us
to be SO silly and idle, we ought to begin to
think about real things.'
"Real things,' cried Belle, al should like
to see realer things than the pictures Of my
twelve real live gentlemen. Wouldn't that
be real enough for even you, Nelly ?"
The two sober girls were nearly driven
from their discomfort, by the comical Belle,
who was quite excited and who was gesticu-
lating with great earnestness. All three
laughed heartily, and Nelly was going to
end the conversation by telling Lulu that AZ
they were not as interested in the tragedies
as Belle, they would talk over her new in
terests when alone.
"No, no." cried Belle, al want to hear
too. But, girls, don't go to getting worked
up in your feelings, or you will certainly do
some very foolish things. l have heard
scores of people say that to be cheerful and
happy at home, to borrow no trouble nor
worry and to help TO make others happy, is
to be Christian, and believe it. You two
look sour and Disconnected while feel as
happy as clam, ready to do my duty in
that state of life to which God has called
me. Isn't that religionP If not, what ISL
I, too, am ready to hear, Nelly, so say on"
"The command TO be cheerful is only
one from whole book" slowly replied Nelly,
al know that is only hundredth part of rel
igion. Just this morning heard the COM
mand, "Feed my lambs" spoken Of, and If
you wished to find out what would please
God best, instead of yourself, you would
find THOUSANDS Of things we are told to be-
The lambs mean his people, those who are
naked, sick or in prison and Miss jackson
says they are all around us. Tomorrow
mean TO begin TO find them"
"And will help you, Nelly" interrupted
Lulu. "Whom do you suppose that we shall
find, sick old women2"
81 don't know" answered Nelly, but We
shall 20 down into cellars, and up into
garrets."

Josh Billings.
A MAN who is as true as steel, possessing
an iron will, some gold, and fair portion
of brass, should be able to endure the hard
ware of this world.
A LITTLE girl was saying her prayers the
other evening, and had Just finished "give
us this day our daily bread" when a preco-
cious four.year-old brother exclaimed, "Say
tookies, Many"
an angry bull rushed down upon him and
with his horns tossed him over the fence.
The Irishman recovering from his fall, upon
looking up, saw the bull paving and tearing
up the ground, and said If it was not for
your bowling and scraping your apologies,
you brute, faith l should think you had
thrown me over this fence on purpose
DOES man ever 60 into a grocery store
and say, Z" l will give you five cents pound

sugar, and pays what is asked or goes with
out. But the same man will offer a price
twenty cents below the rates for given
space OF newspaper, and feel offended be-
cause it is not taken.-New Haven Register.
"THAT is worth but forty cents" mildly
suggested the affable city official. "Why 2"
queried the seemingly astounded advance
agent. Because there's hole in it," re-
Piled the clerk, firmly. "That makes it
worth ten cents less, does it :" said he of
the theatrical troupe. at does" promptly
responded the clerk. "Then | suppose"
continued the seemingly innocent theatrical
man, " If there were six holes in 1t / would
have to give you dime for taking it ?"
The clerk took the money and charged him
self with ten cents.
A GALVESTON young man, who is not
very bright, but likes to affect the sporting
character, recently bought horse, and he
thinks he is the handsomest horse in the
United States. The young man was show
ing the animal TO man who really knows
something about horses, pointing out all the
animals good points. When he got through
praising the beast, the other spoke up and
said, All you say about the animal is 30
but you have omitted two of his very best
points" What are they ?" "Well, In the
first place nobody is ever going to steal the
J animal from you, and secondly, II anybody
should steal him, you would have no trouble

"There Mother is crying about that
Washburn affair again. Strange how peo-
pie will stand out" said Obed, evidently try
ing to change the subject.
"Well, IL Ruel Washburn takes dinner
here Thanksgiving, will answer your ques-
ton finally" laughed Nancy.
"Such thing is possible, but highly i'm
probable replied Obed, coolly. "lll ask
the question that old Glen Bates asked the
other night, when Ansel Blake said all the
proof he wanted OF the new minister's fitness
for Hartwell was to preach such sermon
that Ruel Washburn and father would shake
hands right in church-it would soften their
hearts So and Glen asked 'How can you

said Obed, calmly.

| goodnight.
Things are never quite complete in this
world and it is well TREY are not, else we
should forget our weakness. Though Milly
Loveioy's pantry was fragrant with pies,
cake, bread and fruit and the oven steam
ing with turkey, chickens and pudding, and
the outside world on this anniversary would
regale in all that makes perfect day, dear
Aunt Milly was sorely tried. Hadn't she
prayed, wept and pleaded in all these years
that not another Thanksgiving might be
marred with this quarrel?
Aunt Milly opened the door to gentle
knock that had interrupted her meditationsi
and met Tommy Goblet, crying.
"Come in, Tommy, come in, and tell me
what troubles YOU" said Aunt Milly, putting
her arm lovingly around him.
ooh holt was me that killed your
turkey" sobbed Tommy.
"Was it, dear2 am sorry, and / am sure
you are. You won't be careless again2"
al wern't careless. l thought I'd see how
near | could skip a stone and not hit 'em
but that one lodged, and it killed him in a
minute. I'm awful sorry, and I'll never
skip stones at living things again. Mother
said she wouldn't cook the turkey till came
over and fessed, for the Lord would not-er
-er-cept my thanks if didn't"
"Your mother is right, my DEAR" said
Aunt NIilly, filling Tommy's pockets and
hands with cakes.
"I'm glad I've 'fessed. Now you'll love
me same as ever, won't you ?"
al certainly will, dear"
Uncle Nathan had entered so quietly thai
he had not interrupted the little scene, and
he had heard enough to conclude that Aunt
Milly's turkey had certainly made one little
heart lighter. That his own heart was
touched we can only hope and believe.

How TO Dress With Taste.

The art of dress comprises color, texture,
form and ornamentation. This first con-
sideration should be directed to color. The
accepting Of fashionable shades, without any
regard to the claims OF complexion, is great
error, and the result is rarely correct. By
chance one may sometimes make a good hit
in such matters, although by accident some
of the best things in existence have come to
light. Red, this season, is quite a f%avorite,
and can be worn by the blonde and the bru-
nette. but the former must exercise q little
discretion in adopting to any profusion this
telling dye. The blonde who can befttingly
adorn herself il scarlet trimmings, and es-
pecially where the hue is il close proximity
to the complexion, should be very fair q
clear white skin will beautifully reflect the
brightness of the scarlet; whereas, q face
that has a yelloWish hue, or q rather forid
aspect, should never appear to favor scarlet
il this color is worn at all by such, let it be
far away from the face, except when ar
ranged in an evening toilet. A brunette can
not wear pale green, which is most becoming
in the fair beauty. Orange is the brunette's
own color; but if the dark belle has blue eyes
this dazzling shade will rot enhance her ap-
pearance. The color Of the toilet should be
of that nature to impart q healthy tone to the
complexion. This, idea, when effectually
produced, has q very satisfactory result.
Avoid wearing those colors that heighten or
destroy either the red, yellow, or white in
the natural flesh tints.

The Elysee Balls.

The Figaro the other day contained an ar
ticle signed sJanus," devoted to the degen-
eracy of the Elysee balls from what they
were under Theirs and MacMahon. The
writer complains that ''there are no more
princesses in the presidential parlors," that
too many of the guests are from the Alsacian
colony, manufacturers and free-thinkers;''
that there is q group styled for some reason
des p10c15ts, who swear boards and long
black cravats which divide in twain their
shirt fronts" and "who are alone, their
wives are working at home" And even M.
GrevyA forgets his duties as host. cat the
last bali which he gave we are Informed,
The was found mapping in the little bedroom
off Of the reception-room." But this is not
the worst part Of NJ. Grevy's reprehensible
conduct-he actually nirted! In a few para
graphs further on from the point where
SJanus' left NJ. Grevy snoozing, we are told
that the president Of the French republic
gave his arm to q t'belle American" whom
neither NJ. lie Freycinet nor M. Cookery
would receive-a sort of 'sDaisie Miller" we
should judge, from the authors description.
Some time ago, when Mr.. Tilden was report
ed every few months as engaged, a newspa-
per dubbed him ''that incorrigible old firt,"
q character which s'Janus'' would also i'm
pose on M. Grevy; for besides this prone
made with the ''belle American" it appears
that way back in 1871, at Marsailles, in the
parlors Of NJ. Theirs, NJ. Grevy touched the
shoulder of Mime. Ia Duchesse ok. and called
her "Ma belle enfant," whereupon the latter
became more confused than the former. The
conduct Of tbs president, who is generally
supposed to be a very sedate parsonage, is Of
course inexcusable, but as regards the demo-
cratic element Of the guests at the Elysee
balls, we can not see why the refined "Janus''
is surprised at this. It is only the natural re-
suit Of a republican form Of government, and
proves that France ia becoming, in fact, what
she is now only in name.
