SILENT SCOLDING.

Don't scowl, it spoiis faces. Be
fore you know it your forehead will
resemble a small railroad map. There
is great trunk line now from your
cowlick to the edge of your nose, in
tersected by PARALLEL lines running
east and west, with curves arching
your eye brows; and how much older
you look for it! Scowling is a habit
that steals upon us unawares. We
frown when the light is too strong
and when it is too weak. We tie
our brows into knot when we are
thinking, and knit them even more
tightly when we cannot think. There
is no denying there are plenty of
things to scowl over. The baby in
the cradle frowns when something
fails to suit. Constitutional scowI"
we say. The little toddler who likes
sugar on his bread and butter tells
his troubles in the same way when
you leave the sugar off. sCrossed"
we say, about the children, and
"worried to death" about the grown
folks; and as for ourselves, we can't
help it. But we must. It's reflex
influence makes others unhappy; for
face answereth into face in life as
well as it does in water 1t bellies
our religion. We should possess our
souls in such peace that it will reflect
itself in our placid countenances. If
your forehead is ridged with wrinkles
before forty, what will it be at SEN
enty? There is one consoling
thought about these marks of time
and trouble-the death angel always
erases them. Even the extremely
aged, in death, often wear a smooth
and peaceful brow, thus leaving our
last memories of them calm and tran
quill. But our business is with life.
Scowling is kind of silent scolding.
1t shows that our souls need sweet
ening. For PHYS sake let US take a
sad-iron, or glad-iron, or something
cool of some sort, and straighten
these creases out of our faces before
they become indelibly engraved upon
our visage.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

The people of New England have
been guilty of doing great injustice
to their children by trying to bring
up their boys and girls to be gentle
men and ladies. They have compell-
ed them to go to school, to commit
to memory pages of history, long
lessons in geography, rules of gram
mar and arithmetic, and attempt to
learn other studies in which they
took no interest, and would never be
of any use to them, and when the
time came to leave school and 90 to
work, they were unable to keep ac-
counts, nor colud they write a letter
correct or read newspaper; and,
as for many of the girls, they are
useless ornaments or miserable inva-
lids. This is fact which is well
known. In my native village, three
boys of one family attended district
school, two of whom became clergy
men, and one is a shoemaker. Of
course the outward circumstances
were about the same, but the inher-
tied qualities and idiosyncrasies were
different. Another boy, who was
very unlike the boys in general, is
now the superintendent of schools in
Springfield, Mass. l am sure the
girls in the country who attended
school six months in a year, and
worked at housework the other six
months, were more healthy aud capa-
BILE, and made better wives and
mothers, thau those who attend
school constantly in our cities from
the age of five until they graduate

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

That guilt made black with deceit
and falsehood must reap as it sowed.
No one to whom it is a misery to.
be alone has well regulated mind
and heart.
Envy is passion so full of cow
ardice and shame that none have the
confidence to own it.
A true and faithful friend is a liv-
ing treasure, a comfort in solitude
and sanctuary in distress.
Speak always according to your
conscience, but let it be done in terms
of good nature, civility and good
manners.
Ignorance is one of those infirmi-
ties that is insensible; and, though
it be ever so desperately sick, feels
no pain or want of health.
1t is against human nature to be-
lieve any people will persist in wrong
and cruelty if they are permitted to
enjoy their natural rights.
Men may often stoop to folly OF
even crime with impunity, if they
possess sufficient wealth to purchase
silence and stifie opposition.
1t is a great blunder in the pursuit
of happiness not to know when we
have got it; that is, not to be con-
tent with reasonable and possible
measure of it.
The great art of conversation con-
sists in not wounding or humiliating
any one, of speaking only of things
we know, in conversing with others
only on subjects which may interest
them.
There are two ways of being happy
We may either diminish our wants or
augment our means. The result is
the same; and it is for each man to
decide for himself and to do that
which may happen to be the easier.
To be beautiful we must put
great organizing and ennobling pur-
pose into the will, and concentrate
our thought and affection upon it un-
til enthusiasm swells up in the heart,
suffuses the countenance and rebuilds
the body on its own divine plan.
Every young man should under
stand that he should not care but
ton for his likes and dislikes, but
should do what ought to be done, in
spite of any disagreeableness. The
lesson of self-denial is far beyond
any other in Importance. 1t must be
repeated again and again.

NOBILITY.

True worth is in being, not seeing
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not in the dreaming
OF great things to do by-and-bye;
For whatever men say in blindness.
And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing SO kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure
We cannot do wrong and feel right
Nor can we give pain and feel pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin and wren;
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men.
'Tis not in the pages of story
The heart of its ills to beguile,
Though he who makes courtship to glory
Gives all that he hath for her smile;
For when from her heights he hath won her,
Alas! it is only to prove
That nothing's so sacred as honor
And nothing so royal as love
We cannot make bargains for blisses,
Nor catch them like fishes in nets;
And sometimes the thing our life misses
Helps more than the thing which it gets;
For good lieth not in pursuing,
Nor gaining Of great nor of small.
But just in the doing; and doing
As we would be done by, is all.
Through envy. through malice, thro' hating,
Against the world early and late,
No joy of our courage abating,
Our part is to work and to wait.
And slight is the sting of his troubles
Whose winnings are less than his WORTH
For he who is honest is noble
Whatever his fortune or birth.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

The grllmblers never work, and the
workers never grumble.
True wisdom, in general, consists
in energetic determination.
Self-esteem Is commonly punished
with universal contempt.
1t is a good thing to learn caution
by the misfortune of others.
The touchstone by which men try
US is often their own vanity.
People who do mean things throw
poison into their own wells.
Many men employ their first years
so as to make their last miserable.
1t is to live twice to be able to en-
JOY the retrospect of your past life.
Better be alone with your own heart
than with a crowd of babblers.
True eloquence consists in saying
all that is proper and nothing more.
While learning adorns man, let
us remember that truth ennobles him.
The virtue of prosperity is tenn
perance; the virtue of adversely is
fortitude.
Who would venture on the journey
of life if compelled to begin at the
end ?
Rest satisfied with doing well, and
leave others to say of you what they
please.
Goodness consists not in the out
ward things we do, but in the inward
things we are.
Devote each day to the object then
in time and the evening will find
something done.
Economy is half the battle of life ;
it is not half so hard to earn money
as to spend it well.
What we are merely taught seldom
nourishes the mind like that which we
teach ourselves.
Rage spent on the vanquished Of
ten brings a return shaft, against
which skill is powerless.
Most of our misery comes from our
| fearing and disliking things that new
er happen at all.
| If anything is possible for man
and peculiar to him, think that this
can be attained by thee.
The mind does not know what If
can feed on until it has been brought
to the starvation point.
Gossip is the patent sign of vul-
garity in heart and mind. 1t is as
thoroughly vulgar as curiosity.
Dispose of time past to observa-
tion and reflection; time present, to
duty, and time to come to Providence.
What is really momentous and all
important with us is the present, by
which the future is shaped and col
ored.
If we were all permitted to put ou1
own valuation on ourselves there
would not be a low-priced man in the
world.

A Commercial Experiment.

There may be some patriarchal SUBJ
ject of Prince Charles alive who can
remenl Der that model sovereign, the
Count Matignon-Grimaldi, otherwise
Honore ", who assembled his rocky
throne in the year 1916, and did not
die until 1910. Three times only DUR
ing his reign of twenty-five years did
he set foot within the prin cipality of
Monaco; but he never ceased to bear
his subjects in mind, although his
solicitude was less of the nature of
cherub, sitting aloft to look out for
their lives, than Of Feel aw. Fun,
smelling their blood and grinding
their bones to make his bread. From
his capacious mind he evolved the
famous fiscal scheme, worthy of an
EPSON or Dudley, known as "L'Ex-
elusive DIES Cereales." Through the
intermediary of French imam of
straw" called Francois Chappon, his
Highness Honore V. became the
Farmer and Miller General of his
dominions. In his creature Chappon
was vested the monopoly Of dealing
in grain and grinding it into flour.
The wretched Monegasques were COM
PEELED to sell their corn to the Princes
agent, who duly exported the sound
grain to foreign parts, and he was
good enough to sell them for the maxi
ing of their daily bread flour ground
from spoiled cargoes of wheat, " hieh
was the sweepings of the wharves of
Marseilles and Genoa. Every one,
the foreigner and the native alike,
was compelled to eat "il pane del
Principe" and no other; captains of
trading vessels who arrived in port
with any surplus bread or biscuit on
board were liable to fine of 500 francs
and the confscation of their crafts;
and the bakers of Monaco were forced
to placard outside their shop-doors a
statement of the daily consumption of
the staff of life by the families who
dealt with them. If, in the opinion of
the police, the people did not eat
enough bread, they were induced to
amend their appetites by means of
domicillary visits, lawsuits and evic-
lions. 4i' Xa
There was also heavy tax on every
lamb, calf, foal and kid born. Fruit
trees were likewise subject to griev-
GUS impost, and but that in the fulness
of time Honore descended to a more
congenial world he might have
crowned his fiscal scheme by taxing
new-laid eggs, onions and shrimps.
AS it was, this unmitlgated old rascal
managed to amass in the course of his
twenty five years of plumber fortune
of six millions of francs. The "Ex-
elusive des Cereales" was abolished
by Prince Florestan, the successor of
Honore the Rogue.

BoHEMIA's LAND.
A Song Of the Season.

Which is the way from the crowded city,
Toa land of shadow and silent peace,
Where women can love and men can pity,
And tears from sorrowing eyes may cease?
For the toiling town is harsh and hollow,
And bate points eastward, envy west;
Though many may fall, yet some will follow
10 a home of dreams and the haven rest.
For the love of heaven, stretch forth
your hand,
And point the way to Bohemia's land.
Where are the fields and their emerald cover,
rhe wayside flowers and travelling cart,
The new-found love and the long-tried lover I?
They are better by far than our feverish art,
We are sick unto death OF Jealousy Is tetter,
The secret digger, the ceaseless strife:
There's triumph ia fame. but freedoms bet
ter;
30 give us q taste OF a wandering life.
The senses sicken as fancy's hand
Paints endless love in Bohemia's land.
Bohemia's ways are strewn with flowers,
Her children free from the revel of wine:
Her dust is slaked by the sweetened showers,
Meath covering trees they toast and dine
When care creeps close, why away they wan
~ seoA Whatever Tie miHu iofes pest;
For hope endures when the heart sees yonder
purer life and surer rest
How many despise, but how few with
stand,
The ceaseIess Joys OF Bohemia's land.
10 the fields away for Nature presses
On toiling foreheads balmy kiss;
There's nothing so sweet as her wild caresses,
No love more full to the lips than this.
God grant, my brothers, when all is over,
And holiday hours cut short by fate,
That the sense OF nowersand scent OF clover.
May soften sorrow and silence hate,
Old Time soon measures the fatal sand.
And the curtain falls on Bohemia's land.

The Crops.

Those who wish to see higher prices
for all consumable commodities ale
very anxious for great crops of grain
this fall. With the great Immigration
and the business activity, all that is
needed is surplus of grain and cotton
to export to see revival the prosper
Gus times of '79, 80 and the spring of
81. But, timid and conservative people
are not 30 sure about the future. It is
argued that in prosperous times peo-
pie do not go farming. They throng
to the cities, to the manufacturing dis
tricts, and become consumers of food.
during the hard times, from '7S to '7S,
an average of 100000 acres Ter an
mum of new land was put into grain.
But since 10 the increased acreage has
been but little over 2,000, 900 acres per
annum. So far the pre- sent year, it is
settled, there will be less land put into
wheat in Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio
and other States than was the case last
year. 1t is true there is q much greater
acreage in Texas, Missouri, Dakota,
Oregon and California; but it is
doubtful if on the whole there will be
as large an acreage in 'S2 as there was
in 81, while the home consumption
would be much greater, due to the in
crease of consumers In cities and man
ufacturing districts. Then, it is feared
that as good crops are continuous year
after year, bad crops may also succeed
one another for several seasons. The
country was phenomenally prosperous
three for years preceding the death OF
President Garfield. Perhaps the PEN
dulum is about to swing in the other
direction. eYuhn
