A New I'd Injurious Insect.

We grow a multiplier onion received
some ten years ago from California, where
it was reported to be grown by Chinese
gardeners. We have noticed that when these
onions are punched or traced upon wisps of
of straw and hung up in the cellar (Which
is the best way to winter them) there would
occasionally be found in the spring between
two onions in contact mass Of little mag.
gots something like the ordinary onion mag
got. Henry A. Sprague, Esq, of Charlotte
Maine, had some of these onions Of us some
time ago, and being a microscopist and
entomologist, he examined the little fellows
He says, These little maggots are about
3-15 (perhaps 7-32) inch in length, ,and about
1-20 inch in diameter. There is black
spot on the head of each just visible with
the naked eye. My microscope shows these
maggots to be slightly tapered at each end
composed Of twelve not very distinct, smooth
segmental rings. They are preyed upon by
black or dark brown potato-beetle-sh
insects, varying from 1900 to l-100 of al
inch long, with hairy legs. The worms are
certainly not the onion maggot figured by
Packard" 1t is an interesting question
whether we have here new insect pest.

The City OF Roses.

seventeen or eighteen years ago. 1t is twined

of cream-tinted roses are splendid to behold.

the flowers are so large that they would

Training OF Children.

The training of children is now sadly

training is seen in many families. n sither
system nor obedience, nor deferential treat
ment of superiors is demanded, or enforced,

and to have and spend money without hav-

on about twenty years, and the harvest is
just coming in. From every four boys left

who has the making Of man, but two will
amount to nothing and the family is fortu-
nate If the fourth does not turn out to be a
drunkard or thief.-C Christian AdUocate.

Purity In Young MOmanhOOd.

Among the elements of beauty in the
character OF young woman, none is more
essential than purity of mind and heart
Here are few sentences from private let
ter: "True refinement is not mere outside
polish. 1t goes deeper and penetrates to
the very foundations of character. 1t is
purity, gentleness, and grace in the heart,
which, like the perfume of flower, breathe
out and bathe all the life in sweetness. 1t
is not mental culture there is true refine
ment often where education has been linn
tied, where in the speech you may detect
faults and errors. On the other hand there
is sometimes high intellectual training and
furnishing without any true refinement.
That which really refines is purity of mind
and heart" These words are very true. 1t
is not possible even to think of true woman
hood without purity. 1t were as easy to
think of rose without beauty, of a lily
without whiteness, as of true womanly
character without this element. Amid the
wreck of this world, wrought by sin, there
are still some fragments of the beauty Of
Eden, and among these none is lovelier than
the unsullied delicacy of true woman's
heart. 1t is possible, too, to preserve this
holy purity even amid all this worlds sin
and foulness. Have you ever seen lily
floating in the black waters of bog? All
about 1t is stagnation, corruption, vileness,
but in the midst of it all the lily remains as
pure as the robes of an angel. II lies on the
dark pond, is rocked on the bosom of every
ripple, yet it never takes stain. 1t ever
holds up its unsullied face towards Gods
blue heaven and pours its fragrance all about
it. In like manner is it possible for every
woman TO live in this world of sin and moral
evil, keeping her soul unstained in the
midst of 1t all, and ever breathing out the
perfume of holy, unselfsh love. II there is
one thing that every young woman should
cherish above all other possessions in this
world-it is the brightest jewel of her queenly
crown-her purity of heart, of thought, Of
Imagination, OF soul. On the window OF
her cell an unhappy young queen-girl wrote
with diamond this prayer "Keep me
pure; make Others great" This is fit
prayer for every young girl. She should
miss anything in this world, Of honor, of
lose her soul-purity. She should guard her
heart that no impure thought may ever find
entrance or lodgment there. She should
guard her Imagination that no breath of
| impurity may ever be allowed TO blow upon
| it, that no impure vision may ever hang for
an instant on its holy walls. There is need
of word of solemn warning. There are
dangers about every young girl. There are
indications in society Of the lowering of the
tone of girlhood. There are cloud" man.
ners in some circles that are painful TO every
sensitive heart. There are papers and
books that are read by too many young
girls, and offered TO more, that leave the
trail OF the serpent behind them on the fair
flowers of maidenly refinement. There are
dances and amusements that cannot but
lowering OF the standard of modesty in some
circles. There are improprieties in dress,

there are indeicacies Of action, there is a
boldness of manner which is far from lovely.
There may seem to be no harm in these
things, and some may think friend prud-
ish who feels so deeply on this subject or
speaks 30 earnestly in warning. But the
immediate harm lies in the subtle sullying
of the d!vinely-wrought bloom Of innocence
which covers every yonng girls soul as 1t
comes from Gods hand. When, on win
ter's morning, you breathe upon the exqui-
site tracery Of frostwork on the window
pane, it melts down, and can any human
hand replace it Still less is it possible to
restore the charm of purity to the soul
which has lost it. II a young girl would
grow into the most spotless womanhood,
radiant in every feature with the loveliness
Of Christ's own image, she must from her
earliest youth, through all the experiences
OF her life, maintain the absolute purity OF
heart and soul.-Rev. J. r. Miller, d. d.

Death.

How small and insignificant everything Of
earth seems when we are brought into the
awful presence of death How unworthy OF
ourselves, as immortal souls, seems every
petty, worldly scheme, every ambition for
mere earthly distinction How the love of

white thing, ready ito be resolved to earth
AGAIN." common lump of clay, "ashes to

that the little soul finds expansion; the
great soul, as it were, almost reaches the

Of ours, at any moment to be called back to
him who gave it. A few joys, few sor-
rows-what is there in life that we should
love it 30, or what is there in death that we
should fear TO die 2

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively net injurious.

and headlong into debt without
making any provisions for payment
Some OF them levy exorbitant rates Of
taxation, at which the people loudly
complain, but when they go to the
ballot-box TO elect city officers they
apparently forget it, and habitually
select Inc f1icient or corrupt men to
transact important business for
| them. There can be but
one result. These debts must finally
be repudiated or the rate of taxation
increased SO as to bankrupt property
holders This is inevitable.
The Taxpayers of the cities
arouse sometimes, and make
spasnlndic efforts to release them
selves from the meshes that are be.
ing woven around them, but they do
not perssvere. A ward politician
who has an axe to grind is more in
dnstrious than any unselish taxpayer
who has no object in view other than
the general welfare, and will do twice
as much to achieve success. He will
be ut work while the taxpayer is
asleep, and should he be defeated he
will rise and come again.
The result is, the administration
by cumbersome boards of aldermen,
is only game of "you tickle me and
I'll tickle you You vote for lamp
post in my war; and you shall have
u street opened in yours.
And every city becomes the victim

Pile who are respectable and

outward appearances go, and by
those who are not honest
and who do not care to be considered
respectable. A thousand and one
petty frauds and frauds not petty
are practiced, and the city treasury
is constantly depleted without SO
rious protest, or If protest is made,
he who makes it is set down as a
fogy and his complaint is
quickly dism ssed. II may
be that the people will
be aroused sometime, but there is
danger tn 1t it will be too late. II
