MEx1Co.-Mexico does not progress very
rapidly. There are many reasons for this, but
since the development Of railroads i'll that
country, we are beginning to find out some
thing. An American who quite lately came
from Mexico, states that the Mexicans have
few manufactures and no modern machinery
that he has seen thousand men and boys at
work in field harvesting with sickles that
heretofore there have been very few companies
and firms in Mexico, as they have had great
distrust Of railway or any other corporations;
that on account of this distrust, money accu-
mulated is boarded and rendered useless to its
owners and to the communities in which they
reside; that he knows of one family that has
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars slowed
away in barrels that there is only one bank IN
Mexico, which is owned by Englishmen and
that the only thing approaching in character
to a bank authorized or established by the gov
ernment is a large pawn shop, which makes
advances on various articles. These brief
statements indicate at once the directions IN
which progress is the most essential, and the
deficiencies which, to great extent, will
probably be remedied by the enterprises IN
which number of our countrymen are inter-
ested.

rival, however, the relatives of the gentleman
refused to recognize in her the features OF the
picture. The gentleman had fallen IL, and
the widow blamed that news for her altered
features. Still the relatives and the gentle
man were obdurate. In a few days he died.
The widow now threatened proceedings, and
the relatives, believing that she had claim,
offered to settle with her for a thousand
pounds. This was agreed to, and the widow
came back richer by that amount than when
she started. But now she believes she has a
claim, and despite the wry faces and objec-
tions Of many relatives, she insists on pushing
her claim. A lawyer WILL it is said, leave for
England to push the matter.

Color BLINDNESS There are three kinds
of color blindness There are the red blind,
the green blind and violet blind. A very
large proportion of those afflicted are red
blind, some are green blind and very few are
violet blind. Some are blind as to two OF the
base colors, generally red and green: There
are only few authentic cases of total color
blindness. To such everything in nature ap-
pears black or white or light or dark gray in
various degrees. To red blind, red will
appear yellow, green, brown or black, ac-
cording to the shade Of red used and the
degree of the blindness. A bright red will
appear dark.green and an equally bright greer!
can be distinguished from it only by being OF
a lighter shade. To the color blind every
change in intensity of light, from twilight,
fog or from changed physical condition, as by
fatigue or excitement, represents change in
color or shades Of color. Santonine, medi-
cine not very frequently used, temporarily
makes everything appear yellow, while alcho-
hol and tobacco used to excess permanently
impair the chromatic sense. TO the green
blind, whose only two concepts of base colors
are red and violet, green being composed OF
almost equal parts of those colors, appears
gray reds appear brighter than normal, or
ange and yellow as more or less luminous red,
blue as an intense violet.

to offend her by any open expressions OF ten
derness and drawing her hand through his
arm, begged her to walk little way with him
into more retired part of the garden: BY de-
grees he overcame his agitation sufficiently to
talk to her in quiet, gentle strain. He dWelt
only on such points as he thought he could
speak of without distressing her said little OF
his own feelings, and, in what he did say,
made it quite evident that he understood ex-
actly the footing on which she had accepted
him, and that while he would make it the
aim of his life to merit her love, he would re-
quire from her nothing more than she was
willing to accord. The conversation soothed
and tranquilized her. She felt him to be in
every way worthy of her truest regard, and
this conviction, while it could not assure her
happiness, gave her at least the certainty OF
safe and honored position as his wife-a posi-
tion in which she could find contentment and
repose.
Mrs. May, when her daughter returned to

She judged wisely in not saying too much on
the subject. Indeed, Sophy felt that she could
not have borne prolonged discussion of it at
that time. She had made the sacrifice, and
was willing to abide by her resolve ; but she
could not realize fully what was before her.
She seemed to he acting in dream.

What should maiden be? Pure as the rlll,
Ere it has leftits first home in the hills
Thinking no evil, suspecting no guile,
Cherishing naught that can harm or dehle.
What should maiden be? Honest and true,
Giving to God and to neighbor their due;
Modest and merciful, simple and neat,
Clad in the white robe of innocence sweet.
What should maiden be? She should be loath
Lightly to give or receive loving troth;
But when her faith is once plighted, till breath
Leave her, her love should be stronger than DEATH
What should maiden be? Merry, whene'er
Merriment comes with natural air;
But let not mirth be an everyday guest
Quietness sits on maiden the best.
Like fair lily, sequestered and meek,
She should be sought for, not others should seek
But, when the wild winds of trouble arise,
She should be calm and courageous and wise.
What should her words be? Her words should be
few,
Honest and genuine, tender and true;
Words that O eraow from pure heart within,
Guiltless Of folly, untainted by sin.
What should her dress be? Not gaudy and vain,
Bat unaffectedly pretty and plain;
She should remember these few simple words
"Fine feathers flourish on foolish young BIRDS"
Where should maiden be Home is the place
Which a fair maid is most fitted to grace;
There should she turn, like a bird to the nest,
There should maiden be- blessing and blest
There should she dwell as the handmade OF God,
And if He bid her "pass under the rod,'
Let her each murmur repining suppress,
Knowing that He chasteneth that He may bless.
But if earth's blessings each day He renew,
Let herg give glory where glory is due;
Deem every blessing gift from above,
Given and designed for purpose of love.
What will her future be? II she become
Matron and mother, may God bless her ho'+e
God to the matron all blessings will give,
If as Gods maiden the young maiden liVe
What will her future be? If she should die,
Lightly the earth on her ashes will lie;
Softly her body will sleep meath the sod,
While her pure spirit is safe with her God.

THE KING AND THE M1LLER.-Near Sans
Souci, the favorite residence of Frederick the
Great, there was mill which much interfered
with the view from the palace. One day the
king sent to inquire what the owner would
take for the mill =; and the unexpected answer
came back that the owner would not sell it
for any money. The king, much incensed,
gave orders that the mill should be pulled
down. The miller made no resistance, but
folding his arms, quietly remarked, 1.-The
king may do this, but there are laws in Prus-
sia.n And he took legal proceedings, the re-
suit of which was that the king had to rebuild
the mill and pay good sum of money beside
in compensation. Although his majesty was
much chagrined at this end of the matter, he
put the best face he could upon it, and turn
ing to his courtiers he remarked, II am glad
to see that there are just laws and upright
judges in my.kingdom."
A sequel to this incident occurred about
forty years ago. A descendent of the miller
of whom we have just been speaking had come
into possession of the mill. After having
struggled for several years against ever IN
creasing poverty, and being at length quite
unable to keep up with his business, he wrote
to the king of Prussia, reminding him Of the
incident we have just related, and stating
CllaC. II MS majesty lelt ~ ulopooou, no oiooio
be very thankful in his present difficulty to
sell the mill. The king wrote the following
reply with his own hand:
MY DEAR NEIGHBOR Il cannot ailo"
YOU to sell the mill. It must always be in
your possession as long as one member of your
family exists, for it belongs to the history OF
Prussia. 1 regret however to hear that you
are in such stringent circumstances, and there
fore send you herewith six thousand dollars,
in the hope that it may be of some service in
restoring your fortunes. Consider me your
affectionate neighbor,
FREDERICK WILLIAM"

VALUE OF C1vIL1TY.-Politeness is good
and always results well. A polite and suave
department constitutes one of the truest SYM
bols of good breeding. There is nothing which
costs less effort, and nothing which yields
better return in the way Of good feeling and
genuine pleasure than kindly speech and afta-
bic demeanor A graceful, polite address may
be as easily cultivated as the reverse, and may
be set down as valuable accomplishment.
It is much too frequently the case that little
or no Difference is paid to the feelings and
tastes Of others, sometimes unintentionally 1t
may be, but the result is the same, and might
always be forstalled by an ordinary observance
of the simple and fundamental principles that
underlie self possession and true gentility.
The advice of an ancient sage, (Lockman to his
son we believe), ''to regard superior as
father, an equal as brother, an inferior as
son." is a gem of wisdom, and should be
known and acted upon throughout the grad
ations and ramifcations of society. This,
with a studious observance of the Golden
Rule, or Royal Law, ''to do unto others as you
would have them do unto you" would leave
no room for chaos and disorder, but would
transform the world into veritable paradise

THE ORIGIN OF THE SIoUX.-The Sioux,
if Indian tradition is to be believed, are new
people. The tradition is that a party of wild
young men of different tribes banded them
selves together to make new tribe. This
was in the Blackfeet country, near the head
northwest of Fort Benton. These Romans of
the north marched on, conquering and alb
sorbing the tribes they subdued, marrying
such wives as pleased them. Their course was
to the south and east and was not interrupted
until the whites came in from the east.

A CONTROVERSIAL English justice SEN
fenced a couple to matrimony under circum-
stances which seem legally just, although
legally curious. A young man and young
woman were contesting possession OF piece

THE LIONS PET.-The late Henry Moor
house was fond of relating an incident that
beautifully illustrates precious truth. When
he was a boy there came to his native city
circus with it's attending menagerie. III the
motley crowd which gathers about such exhi-
bitions, there was man whose little dog had
just been beaten in fight with another dog.
The man, in fit of senseless rage, seized the
bleeding and suffering brute, and hurrying into
the circus tent, roughly thrust him through
the bars of the lions cage, expecting OF course,
to see him devoured in a moment. The dog
also seemed to know his danger, and crouched
upon the floor in manifest terror. The lion
fixed his gaze upon him, but did not stir; and
at last the dog gathering hope, craWled SLOW,
ly toward the monarch of the forest, and looked
up into his face as if with mute supplicaticn
for mercy Tothe surprise of the spectators,
the king Of beasts, who could have crushed
him with single stroke, gently drew the help
less creature to his side, and then raised his
lordly neck above him like wall of protection.
Meanwhile, the owner of the dog had recoy-
cred from his silly anger, and demanded his
property. "You put him in !; 60 to the cage
and get him." was the quiet reply OF the keep
er. The man drew near and called the dog,
but there was no response, for the once obe-
dent servant acted as if he had found better
master, and was satisfied with the change.
The old master called again and again, and
whistled and coaxed in vain, and at length be-
gan to scold and threaten but the ominous
growl of the lion, and the flash of his flaming
ewes, sent back the human brute in fright and
haste, amid the laughter of all who witnessed
his discontinue and the two friends were LETT
in peace and mutual love.

noME.-If you have boys and girls in the
house impress upon them the beauty and
utility of order. "A place for everything and
everything in it's place" should be the chosen
motto Of every household. Ornament the walls
with the prettiest pictures you can afford.
Chromos will do very well if you cannot have
steel engravngs or paintings, provided they
are artistic in design and colOring. Baskets,
vases, family and other pictures tastefully
arranged act as Il gentle sedative on the dis
turbed mind, and give feeling of kindness
and sympathy which naked walls can never
give. Of course the windows should be TASTE
fully and carefully curtained, and the centre
table, with it's hanging lamp or chandelier,
should add cheerfulness to the apartment.

sary, and among those of the graver sort
are reading aloud by one of the family, and
followed by an examination, instruction or
discussion, in which all should be invited to

be confined to prOsaic amusements, ana Will
not be, though parents command them to re-

encourage certain amusements at home than
forbid them, because when forbidden the same

CHARACTER AND CREDIT.

We often hear young men who have small
means, dolefully contrasting their lot with
that of rich mems sons. Yet the longer we
live, the more we are convinced that the old
merchant was right, who said to us when we
began life, Industry, my lad, is better than
ingots of gold, and character more valuable
than credit" We could furnish, if need were,
from our own experience, score OF 1liustra-
tions to prove the truth of his remark. In
all branches of business, in all avocations,
character, in the long run, is the best capital
Says Poor Richard The sound Of your ham,
mer at five in the morning, or nine at night,
heard by creditor, makes him easy six months
longer but if he sees you at billiard table,
or hears your voice at tavern when you
should be at work, he sends for his money the
next day.
What is true of the young mechanic is true
also of the young merchant, or the young law
yer. Old and sagacious firms will not long
continue to give credit for thousands OF dol
lars when they see the purchaser, if young
man, driving fast horses or hanging around
drinking saloons. Clients will not entrust
their cases to those advocates, however, brill
liant, who frequent the card table, the wine
party or the race course. 1t is better IN be-
ginning life, to secure reputation for indus
try and probity, than to own houses and lands,
if with them you have no character.
A facility of obtaining credit at the outset
is often an injury instead of benefit 1t has
almost passed into proverb, in consequence,
that the sons of rich men never make good
business men. To succeed in life we must
learn the value of money. But superfuity
