GIVE THE GIRLS A CHANCE.

Just now there is great difficulty
in getting good domestic helps, and
it is largely the fault of those who
have the training of girls. Ii a
daughter evinces taste anG aptness
for any special branch of work, en-"
courage her 10 it, and pay her for
what she does and let her buy her
own clothes. 1t comes out of her
parents pockets anyway, and this
will serve to make her feel indepen>
dent aud take an interest in her
work. If parents would take this
course hey would not need to employ
80 much domestic help, and should
misfortune overtake them, their
daughter would not be left helpless

THE VIRGINIA MINE DIsAsrRR.

Few disasters are more terrible
aud distressing than those caused by
fire damp explosions 10 coal mines.
Usually there are large number Of
victims imprisoned in the extensive
underground galleries. II rot burn
ed by the terrible flame that flashes
like lightning through the mine, they
may find their fate steadily stealing
upon them in the form Of suffocation
for the want of the fresh air, pumped
from the upper world, which has
been cut off by the results of the ex
plosion.
Such a catastrophe overlook tbir>
ty-two men in tbs Mid lothisn coal
pits, near Coal6eld, Va, last Friday.
Twenty four of the thirty two men
we're married, and around the mouth
of the shaft, after the explosion were
gathered the wailing wives and chil-
dren Of the imprisoned miners. The
Grove shaft, where the explosion
took place, is over 200 feet deep,
and the galleries extend 5000 feet
under the ground. For some time
after explosion, though the situation
was known to be serious, the friends
of the men in the mine chung to the
hope that ventilation might be res
.ored, and some If not all Of those
inside rescued. But few descents
into the shaft convinced experienced
miners that all hope must be adams
doned. Doubtless every man of the
thirty two has perished The miners
were poor men who spent most Of
their lives under ground. The n
widows and los children who are
thus bereaved are left destitute.

HARMONY IN HUMAN LIFE.
ILondon Srectator.1


Our surroundings should be harmonious
with our life. 1t is not necessary to
sound the same notes to produce har.
mony. The word implies blending, but
it almost forbids repetition. Nature is
the great teacher. Her means and ends
are consistent with each other. Nature
understands too well the art of harmony
to attempt impossibilities. She is always
up to the mark, but she does not over
step herself. Where the soil will not
grow lilies and roses, she contents herself
with daisies, but left to herself she will
always cover mans mistakes with
carefully spun shroud. 1t is to learn
this lesson more perfectly that in later
life we are drawn away from mankind to
live with nature. A fuller growth takes
place when we feel in unision with all
We see, and when intercourse with nature
restores in use the balance that human
conflict has destroyed. Life in great
cities is inimical to harmony. The clash
of interests is too fierce, and those who
live much in great centers of human
effort cannot sustain the sense of har-
mony, unless they come away for time.
The form and manner of modern society
increase the difficulty. The multitude
of acquaintance, and the little time
given to each, make intercourse neces-
sarily broken and unharmonious. Con-
versation takes the form of epigram, and
each sentence must be cast into such a
form as not necessarily to demand a
second for its competition. By degrees,
our thoughts follow our words, and each
opinion becomes rounded and finished off
to fit into each question that may arise.
nothing can be viewed as whole-we
are to near to its details. So near are we
in great cities that it is almost impossible
not to take each detail for the whole.
Then arises irritation, from the sense Of
the unftness of each separate opinion ex.
pressed to bear the structure of our whole
line of thought. We have uttered an
epigram, but We have not stated oul
judgment as it really is. To do that
requires time and opportunity, which SO
ciety, neglectful of the individual in it
care for the whole, cannot afford to AM
one of its members. The utterance, un
fathered and without offspring, mus
stand or fall by itself, while we may b.
