A HORRIBLE THING In a board
ing house recently a young man on
turning off his gas saw the words,
Confess thy sins, in phosphorescent
characters on the wall. He was sur
Prised. but listening. thought he
heard some young ladies outside the
door waiting to observe the effect on
him. So pretending to be frightened
at the match scratch he fell on his
knees aud confessed out loud that he
had frequently kissed one Of fthe young
ladies in the dark-the one whom he
had best reason to suspect of playing
the trick. That young lady won't
play any more such tricks Immediate
ly. She thinks he is mean, horrid
thing.

A WAENTEG To YOUNG HOUSE,
KEEPERS. The story of the water
which got into the hold of a ship
loaded with rice. and so swelled the
cargo thal it burst the vessel asunder,
reminds the editor Of an exchange of
the captain of a North river sloop.
who, having hired a new cook at
Albany, get him to cooking rice, which
he said he had done hundreds Of
times. Telling him that he would
find FIVE pounds in the locker, and
cautioning him against cooking too
much, the captain went about his
business Of loading his vessel with
pigiron. In half an hour the new
cook rushed out exclaiming For God 8
sake, captain don't take on any more
pigiron we'll have load Of boiled
rice before night" The captain rush.
ed into the cabin, where he found all
the pots, kettles, pals, pans, dishes
and even two washtubs, full to over
flowing with cooked rice, which was
also seething over the>top of the ket-
tie and falling OFF upon the stove
and the floor. "Wbat'n the deuce
you been doin'? yelled the skipper,
as he glanced around. How much
rice did you put in that pot?' "Put
the whole of it, cap" said the lad;
'and I've been doin' nothin' but
bailin out rice for the last twenty
minutes. Great Caesar, where does
all the stuff come from ?"

beauty, and how we watched every
line and curve of the delicately carved
featuresl How we pondered each mem
tai development beneath those beet
ling foreheads, kindled the fires of
what men call geniusl We miss those
faces to-night-miss the flutter of the
small feet about the floor and the soft
voices and clinging arms. We miss
the eager questioning glances of the
tender eyes, but no death can blur the
luster of those eyes in that home whith-
er they are gone. And it may be our
angels are smiling as they watch day
by day the growth and beauty Of that
home, under the shadow of whose por-
tails there is rest and quiet forever.
God shall wipe away all tears from
our eyes, and when we behold that home
whose banks slope down to the river
OF life and rises serene and stately in
Immortality, the sorrow and hollow
ness and pain shall all have passed
away. The soft opal mists of even
ing echo back the last curfew. whose
knell shall smite upon our ears in 1882.
As we turn to greet the New Year,
our hearts are saddened; there are
some whose warm, living hand we now
clasp that shall be cold and pulseless
and folded over the still heart. And
the head shall press that last cold,
hard pillow where, sooner or later, all
heads must lie. Shall it be you or /?
In submission and humility, We say,

A SATISFACTORY REsPoNsE.-On
February % last the American flag
upon one Of the United States naval
vessels at Newport, Rhode Island, was
by mistake hoisted "union down. :
The officers Of the station, noticing
the error. at once teIegraphed TO
headquarters at Washington:
The ship is laying at anchor
here, union down "
Headquarters. of course, saw the
joke, and telegraphed to the officer in
command Of the vessel:
Officer -, ship - is reported
at anchor at Newport, union down.
Who's dead ?"
Quick as thought, on reading the
message. the officer returned the re-
ply:
George Washington"
This completed the correspondence
satisfactorily.-Harper,s Magazine.

Authority. Professor Moblans, Is oi
opinion that most Of the adult Sch
eswig oysters aro from seven TO ten
years old, and that though oysters,
ovtr twenty years of age arc rare, he
has met with occasioall specimsrs
which had attained betwpon twen-
~ Ave and thirty years.
Oysters breed long before they are
full grown, very probably IN the first
year o: their age, certainly ia the
second. Their productivity appears
TO reach its maximum at FIVE or SIX
years, and afterwards 10 decline but
much further observation Is needed
before any definite rules can be laid
down on this subject.

In certain sense the oficious person
is needed in society. Unintentionally
sHd ignorantly be serves as a sort of
cats paw with which to poke the burn
ing ohestunls. Society.sometimes needs
a man or woman in it who imagines
himself or herself born to lead, and who
ofiiciously insinuate themselves into the
graces of those around them in such a
manner that it would be direct insult
not to recognize their supremacy. / say
they need them, because 80 many are
backward nothing would be done were
some one not to push himself forward.
We were ence in play. In arrang-
ing it, there being no mangsr, one of
them who imagined bimself capable Of
taking the leading part, said, "If am
given that part ! shall do 80 and So"
OF course he got the part. We mention
this as an excellent illustration Of the
eficious person. We know of another
whose duty it was to call meeting to
order, and the next thing was to ask for
the nomination of Chairman, instead Of
doing which, he simply teok it for
granted that he was Chairman and con.
tinued with the business.

ARTICULATION.

No one accomplishment adds moro 10
the force and effectiveness of speech,
sermon, reading or conversation than
pure, distinct articulation. No means
Of attracting the attention OF an audi
ence ia more certain of its purpose.
Nothing 10 more certain to please, or
rather no public address, reading or
con vsrsation will fully please, unless tho
speaker be thoroughly trained IN articu.
latiou. Nothing adds 30 much to the
beauty Of expression as distinct articu-
lation. We fear this matter Of clear
cultivated articulation is much neglec-
ted. From observation, We have Ian
led 10 believe that mos. teachers ia our
public schools OF the present day teach
articulation, If at all, only with advan.
ced reading. We are Informed, at least,
that many teachers do not teach oral
spelling at ell, hence, in that case, there
is ne opportunity Of teaching and eul-
tivating the powers Of articulation in
connection with spelling. While we
are glad to see teachers making progress
and advancsments by introducing new
methods of teaching.t thus placing them
selves in line with the progress Of the
age, we arc not satisfied that the writ.
ten method of teaching spelling is better
than the oral one. There is no means
Of caltiyating the powers of the organs
Of speech with such happy results as
oral spelling as taught in the "geod old
days when we were bey." No better
method of disclosing any defects in the
organs of speech than oral spelling in
which clear and distinct pronunciation
of both syllaSles and words are rigidly
required under the rules Of the teacher.
This furnishes the opportunity to core
rect these defects where they are mere-
ly temporary. s.
The powers of articulation should be
trained and cultivated from the time
the child commences to learn his A B
@. It should be taught in connection
with spelling and this induces us b
say that we believe better results are
obtained from theoral than from tb,
written method Of spelling. Why d.
we hear so much repeating and jumb-
ling Of words among young persons II
readings Why is it SO unentertaininf
to hear many pupils read in. our Publi
schools : Simply because articulation
and pronunclation are SO bad as that n
listener ID interested in the subject mat
ter of the reading. We hope by calling
attention to this matter to induce teach
srs to take up the subject and pursue
| it to correct solution.
