POINTS FOR HUsBANDs.-Don't think that
when you have won a wife, that you have won
a slave.
Don't expect your wife to honor and love
you if you prove man unworthy of honor
and love-
Don't caress your wife in public and snarl
and growl at her in private. This proves You
a hypocrite.
Don't forget that if you both live as you
should, that you will always be respected as
genteel persons
Don't find fault with her extravaganza in
ribbons, etc., until you have shut down on ci-
gars, tobacco, whiskey, etc.
Don't think that your wife has less feeling
than your sweetheart had Her relationship
to you has simply changed, not her nature.
Don't expect your wife to have no feelings.
Not to have is not to be human and besides,
you were marrying lady when YOU married
her. and she married a gentleman.
Don't make your wife feel that she is an in
cumbrance on you by giving grudmgly. What
she needs give cheerfully, as if it was pleas
ure to do so. She will feel better, and so will

a TEXAS REvIvALIsT.-1f the story Which
comes from Alexander, in Texas, is true a
Texas revival is hardly more to be desired
than an earthquake. The statement is made
that noisy man disturbed the meeting which
Evangelist Penn was holding in the hopes
that he might be able to convert some OF the
Alexandrtes. Penn prayed for Divine pun
ishment on this disturber of the peace. where
upon the man is said to have dropped dead.
From Alexander, Penn went to Lampasas,
where giddy girl giggled and disturbed the
devotions Penn prayed that the Lord would
punish her. Whereupon she upset keroslne
lamp. and, according to the veraclous Texan
who sends the account, was burned to death.
The next judgment which followed in the
wake of this evangelist's march was sudden
and unexpected tornado. This overturned
the gospel tent and overwhelmed the atfrighted
congregation, being almost as destructive as
a railroad disaster in it's results of manning
and killing. The panic is described as being
dreadful in the extreme. AS the place where
the tent stood was flooded to the depth OF two
feet, most of the congregation became as wet
as if they had been baptized by immersion.
Such an evangelist as Penn must be more of
terror than a blessing to the community he
inyades.

The MEN WHO WIN SUCCEss.-The NcD
South never uttered truer words than those
which we give place in our columns: ut is
not the men of great talent often vino do the
great work of the world. 1t is those who
have trained their working powers the best.
The greatest engineer of England was man
of only medium talents but he was giant
in principle: He gave himself wholly to it
when task was to be done. If a mountain
was to be pierced and roadway made through
it's heart if an ''impracticable and impossi-
ble'- brid ge was to span a chasm or valley,
he would shut himself up for few days in
his room, and scarcely eat or sleep while he
turned the matter over and over in his mind.
At the end he would come out smiling, with
plans clearly laid and his hand ready to set to
work to carry them out. Those who wish to
he great men and women in the truest sense,
must learn to be great workers, both with
brain and hand. The two must go together,
or they will accomplish nothing of Importance
to themselves or the world. Train your work.

SHALL TIE GIRL WHISTLE :-The question
is now asked why a girl may not whistle quite
as much as boy. This is followed by the
question why a boy should be allowed to whiS-
tie at all. TO some people, even if they be
fond of other kinds of music, the whistle OF a
boy is an abOminatiOn AS to the idea of a
girl whistling. it is too hoydenish for them to
conceive of it. Comparatively few girls whis-
tie. They have naturally thought that if it is
thus for the boys it must be quite as bad for
themselves.
As whstlers the boys have generally done
themselves and their art such injustice that
whiStling, as Il means Of making agreeable mll-
sic, has not commended itself either to then
parents or their sisters. y boy practices wills.
tling, not as a musical accomplishment, but
for the most part simply as Il means OF making
noise. In this lie renders himself diSagreeil-
ble. for noise without music is seldom conSid-
cred lovely. The refinement of the girl is gen.
orally greater than that of the boy. She stud
les the art of making herself agreeable, while
her brother impudently expresses his lack OF
care as to whetherhe is agreeable Or not. Inc
girl stops before learning to whistle, and asks
whether or not her whistlng will make her
company desirable Having an idea that II
will not, she refrains.
The Injustice which most boys have done to
themselves in the manner of whlStlmg, and
which they have also in consequence done the
girls. is that they have whistled badly. Often
there is no more tune in their whistle than if
they were whistling to call lost or missing dog.
This kind of whistling is not worth initiating
either by his sister or his grandmother. II
the girl engages in it she merely makes herself
disagreeable On the other hand, if whistler
of either sex whistle good tune in graceful
manner the result may be pleasant enough.
The whistling machinery is susceptible of cul-
ture to high degree. Those who have doubts
as to this will be convinced on hearing train
ed class of whistlers, either boys or girls.
There are many organ pipes which are not

GOLD IN AFR1CA.-Capt. Burton, the cele-
brated traveller, has reported that almost H.
limitable gold can be obtained at the Gold
Coast Africa, district which has been aurt-
crously prolific for centuries He says the re-
gion is equal to half dozen CALIFORNIA;. This
testimony is supported by Commander Cam.
eron, who visited and investigated the Gold
Coast along with Capt Burton.
Gold is found in the sea sand, in the dust or
the roads, and in the mud walls of native hnts.
Several mining companies are engaged IN gold
finding in the district, and they testify to the
great possibilities it affords. A subject OF
such Importance has, of course, been widely
discussed by experts in England, and by this
time large numbers of prospectors are doubt
less verifying matters on the spot.
There are many difficulties in Africa that
did not confront the gold dggers of California
and Australia. The climate has it's dangers ;
the inhabitants are savages the rulers suspl-
ciOus and hostile to strangers. But where
abundant gold is to be got with ease, white
men will 60, and the capital of civilization
will flow thither, bearing 10000 energies 10
confront those of nature and barbarlsm.
The want of gold is so great that the world
must have it at any risk and were it guarded
by all the savages of Africa united into SIN
gle host it would become the possession of
commerce. When geologsts and specialists
have pronounced favorable opinion, and dig
gers have proof positive that great gold de-
posit remains to be worked, the difficulties with
natives will soon be solved.
Medical science can mitigate the evils of the
worst climate. During the thirty years OF
great gold discovery the art of mining and
washing for the metal has made more progress
than in all antecedent time. Everything fa-
vors the speedy translation of African gold
into the channels of international trade, should
it be found in the quantities alleged by Capt.

and we loved him just little and when, after
a few minutes talk about business he said,

MY TEARS

RY tSAPH.
What though they burn, I'll let them flow
In scalding torrents down my cheek,
Cutting wide channels as they go,
That through all time must grow more deep
For there is an angel tendeth
All paths we tread, to guide our feet,
And in sorrow there befriendeth,
Measuring all the tears we weep
So tears at last may prove our treasure
In far brighter world than this;
Then why strive to stint their measure
But for a momentary bliss?
No; let them flow, if they be gathered
BY angels, safely as they fall
From my checks, wan, pale and withered
Till grief hath given to them all!
Then my body, wrecked and wasted
BY the great sorrow it hath bore
And the griefs my heart has tasted,
Shall chill it to its inmost core.
Then lay me in my grave to rest,
Freed from earth's trials, tolls and fears,
Till am called up to be blest
And Jewels given for my tears!

PECULIARITIEs OF DYING.-Miss Nightn-
gale says the mental state of the dying de-
pends on their physical condition. AS rule,
in acute cases, interest in their own danger is
rarely felt. Indifference, excepting with re-
gard to bodily suffering, or to some duty the
dying man desires to perform, is the far more
usual state. But patients who die of con-
sumption, very frequently die in state of
seraphic JOY and peace the countenance al,
most expresses rapture. Patients who die OF
cholera peritonitis, etc., on the contrary, Of
ten die in state approaching despair. III
dysentery, diarrhea, or fever, the patient Of
ten dies in state Of indifference. On the
battle field the expression on the faces of those
who died of gunshot woundsis one of agony,
while the dead by sword Have calmer look.

CLOTHING On FIRE.-In the rare case OF
witnessing an individual whose clothing is on
fire, it is well to know just how to act, that
by promptitude and presence OF mind the sui
ferer may be saved from terrible death.
Make no outcry, if you can avoid it, but seize
a blanket or any woolen fabric--if none is at
hand take any woolen material-hold the cor
ners as far apart rs you. can, and stretch them
out higher than your head, and running boldly
to the person, make a motion OF casping the
arms, mostly about the shoulders. This in
stantly smothers the fire and saves the face.
the next instant throw the person Oh the
floor. This is al additional safety OF the face
and breath, and amy remnent Of flame can be
put our more leisurely. The next instant i'm,
merse the burnt part in cold water, and all
pain will cease at once with the rapldlty OF
lightning. Next get some flour, remove from
the water, and cover the burnt parts with an
inch in thickness of -four, if possible, put the
patient in bed and do all that is possible to
soothe until the physician arrives, Let the
flour remain until it falls off itself, when a
beautiful new skin can be found. Unless the
burns are deep, no other applications are need
ed. The dry flour for burns is the most rella'
bic remedy ever proposed, and the information
ought to be impaired to all.

BRAIN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES BrountOn,
writes in the Contemporary Reyiew: The anat-
Omist is familiar with the fact that there are
two large nerves of sensation known as the
;'faith pair which are distributed to the
top head face, and the mucous membrane of
the mouth, nose and eyes. These nerves are
closely connected with the nerves which con-
troll the action of the heart and blood vessels.
BY their stimulation the hearts action may
be increased. This explains the fact that
application of cold water or cold air to the
face is one of the best means of revivlng a
person who has fallen in syncope. 1t is GU
rious fact that the people of all nations are
accustomed, when in any difficulty to stimu-
late one or another branch of the fifth nerve,
and quicken their mental processes Thus
some persons, when puzzled scratch their
heads; others rub their foreheads, and others
stroke or pull their boards, thus stimulating
the occipital frontal or mental branches OF
these nerves. Many Germans, when thinking,
have habit of striking their fingers against
their noses, and thus stimulating the nasal
cutaneous branches, while in other countries
some people stimulate the branches distributed
to the mucous membrane of the nose by taking
snuff The late Lord Durby, when transla-
ting Homer, was accustomed to eating brandy
cherries One man will eat figs while COM
posing leading article; another will suck
chocolate creams, others will smoke clga-
rettes, and others sip brandy and water. by
these means they stimulate the lingual branch
es of the nerve, and thus rehexly excite their
brains. Alcohol appears to excite circulation
through the brain retleXly from the mouth,
and TO stimulate the heart retlexly from the
stomach, even before it is absorbed into blood.
Shortly after it has been swallowed, how.
ever, it is absorbed from the stomach and
passes with the blood to the brain, and to the
other parts of the nervous system, upon which
it begins to act directly.

BE OF GOOD CIlEER.-A man who acquires
the habit of giving way to depression is on the
road to ruin. When trouble comes upon him,
instead of rousing his energies to combat it, he
weakens and his faculties grow dull, and his
Judgment becomes obscured, and he sinks in
the Slough of despair. And if anybody pulls
him ont by main force and places him on solid
ground, he stands there detected and discour.
aged, and is pretty sure to waste the means of
help that have been given him. How differ
ent it is with a man who takes CHEEKY view
of life even at its worst, and from every i'll,
with unyelding pluck. He may be swept away
by an overwhelming tide of misfortune, but he
bravely struggles for the shore, and is ever
ready to make the most of the help that may
be given him. A cheerful, hopeful, counar-
Gus disposition is an invaluable traitvated
