GOLDEN MOMENTS.

How sorry one would be for man
who, starting out upon a journey,
had his pockets full of golden coin
which, one by one, had slipped
through some unmended hole or rent,
so that when he came to the end of
his trip he had not one left, but lay
down upon his bed beggar How
strictly we would look at our own
pockets after hearing the tale, and
making very sure that what coin we
bad should be we'll spent, or boarded
carefully, ami not scattered in the
roadside dust Yet, we start upon
our lives, each one of us, with store
of golden moments, of which we
keep little account Rapidly they
slip away through the rents of sloth
and ignorance.

A bill is before the North Carolina
Legislature to 80 amend the law in
regard to capital punishment as to
take it out of the hands of the sher
ifs of the various counties, and cause
all such executions to take place in
the State penitentiary, ander the su-
pervisiou of the Warden, after a
lapse of ninety days from the pas
sage of the sentence. The plan is
favored both on the score of economy
and to put an end to buugling exe>
cutions, such as have recently taken
place.

They have hay, but the sheep drift

Rules for Right Living.

Keep the body clean. The countless
pores Of the skin are so many little drain
tiles for the refuse of the system. If they
become clogged and so deadened In their
action, we must expect to become the prey
of ill-health IN some one Of its countless
forms. Let us not be afraid of wet
sponge and FIVE minutes brisk exercise with
a crash towel every night or morning.
Devote eight hours out Of the twenty
four to sleep. If mother is robbed of
sleep by wakeful baby, she must take
nap sometime during the day. Even ten
minutes of repose strengthens and re-
freshes, and does good "hke medicine"
Children should be allowed TO sleep until
they wake of their own free will.
Never go out TO work in early morning
in any locality subject to damps, fogs, and
miasma, with an empty stomach. If there
is not time to wait for cup of coffee, pour
two-thirds of a cup of boiling water on
two teaspoonfuls of cream, or a beaten
egg, season it with salt and pepper and
drink it while hot before going out. This
will stimulate and comfort the stomach,
and aid the system in resisting a poisonous
or debllitating atmosphere.
0NOlu ORCI CI-Sd6lugs 10 TlSc nOm the
table able to eat little more is proverb-
tally good rule for every one. There is
nothing more IdiotIc than forcing down a
few mouthfuls, because they happen to re-
main on ones plate, after hunger ia salts
fled, and because they may be "wasted"
if leftl 1t is the most serious waste to
over-tax the stomach with even half an
ounce more than it can take care of.
Avoid foods and drinks that plainly
"disagree" with the system. Vigorous
outdoor workers should beware of heavy
indigestible suppers. Suppers should al
ways consist of light easily-digested foods
being, in the country, so soon followed
by sleep, and the stomach being as much
entitled as the head to profound rest. The
moral pluck and frmness to take such food
and no other for this last meal of the day
can be easily acquired, and the reward of
such virtue is sound sleep, a clear head,
strong hand and capital appetite for
breakfast

Clip had been looking about, and
seeing potatoes, thought struck her.

oughly disgusted with the country
store, the. party went out in search of
another. After that, whenever in their
rambles, which extended many miles,
around, they came near to a store,
they invariably went in and asked for
those articles, expressing their sur
prise i'll chorus as at first, and always
ending with the demand for onions,
which, by-the-wny, they were never
able to get in that land of farms and
gardens, though Mrs. Duncan offered
to send to Portland fol them.

The Postal Business of the World.

A German paper has been compiling
the statistics of the worlds correspond
ence by post and by telegraph. The
latest returns which approached COM
pleteness were for the year 1877. in
which more than 4,00O,OO0,OO0 letters
were sent, which gives an average of H.
600, 900 day, or 127 a second. Europe
contributed 3,O36, 600, 900 letters to this
great mass of correspondence America,
about 760,00O,0OO Asia, $50, 900, 900;
Africa, 25, 900, ,0OO;and Australia, so, OOO,-
O00. Assuming that the population of the
globe was between 1900, 100000 and
l, 400, ,000,0 900. this would give an aver
age OF letters per head for the intire
human race. There were In the same
year 38, 900 telegraph stations, and the
number of messages may be set down
for the year at between 10000, 900 and
Ill, 100000, being an average of more
than 305, 900 messages per day, 1851
per hour, and nearly 212 per minute.
