Hon. GEO. SHARswOOD's funeral was

alf-Grown Boys and Girls.

Often misunderstood. by turns neglected

think OF themselves. our half-gro~n boys
and girls are IN very irving, and singular
dressed either To little children OF grown
people. and no notice i taken of those who
are not children and not grown. Parents
and teachers and pastors seem To think Of
them as still the little ones they were a few
wears ago; but when. through some return
Ing childish impulse, they misbehave. then
they are severely censured as those who
fought 10 know better" Soldering or nerv-
ing themselves under a sense Of duty or
high ambition, they try to act like grown
folks, and are presently told they are put
ting on airs" Going of for a visit they
are treated with great politeness, as young
ladies and Young gentlemen; and returning
home they are Inundated BY finding them
selves nothing but children there. Bursting
with sudden Impotence they are met with
impatient and harsh answers, and, perhaps,
with some punishment which they consider
degrading. Strong passions swell within
them which they have not learned to con-
troll. Often and often does the girl of thir-
teen 10 sixteen. the lad fourteen TO eighteen,
feel utterly miserable, persuaded that no
poor creature ever was so badly treated, ever
found it SO hard to do right, or got SO little
credit for trying.

TO Cure a Timid Horse.

4 correspondent Of the orange Farmer
and DdirymdH saws he has cured '.scarey''
horses, old and Young. of this disagreeable
and dangerous habit by the following simple
habit My plan when riding horse, and
be scares at any object along the road, is TO
speak to him kindly. Then stop him as
soon as convenient Let him stand and take
a good look at the object he scared at, then
give him a few gentle strokes on the neck
with the hand and coax him up to the object.
DO not whip him nor urge him too hard al
first; but give him time to see that he is not
going to be hart. Then have him 90 up
and smell Of the object If it is not dead
animal or some other offensive thing. When
this has been done few times his confidence
in his master and himself has been gained.
find he will soon stop if he sees anything
he does not understand. Some will say they
do not want horse to stop. He will not
stop many times, for ne will soon learn that
be is not going to be hurt, and will not
scare. find that some horses scare from
having their foretops hanging over their
eyes, which gives objects the appearance Of
moving.

The unprecedented success we have
met with since We adopted the pre-
sent system Of doing business en-.
conrages us in continuing the same.
The question with business men Of
old has been how much profit piece
OF goods or yard of goods will bear.
This system is old and unreliable to
the buyer as it places him in a position
at times where he doesn't know whether
advantage is taken OF him or not.
Now We have adopted the new system
and this is how good trade we are able
to give our Customers and mark our
goods accordingly. For instance we
can show you 32 different shades of
dress ilannels full "a inches wide at
sl.UO per yard assuring that the same
quality is not sold anywhere else for
less than Sl.20. In Black Dress Silks,
we are able to do better than ANYBODY
in the Country, not excepting New

up constant irritation of the stomach and
brings on depression of spirits, ETC., DIR.
Richardson, the well known English SCENT
list, while admitting that the article cannot
be taken in excess without producing dys-
pepsia and irritation. nevertheless asserts
that moderately used, it is an inyigorating,
healthful and wholesome drink, bringing a

Glycerine.

The name is derived from Greek word
signif,ing sweet and has reference
TO the taste. As oil consists of acids and
/ glycerine, the latter is obtained BY separa-
ting the oil-the same is true Of fat-into
its component parts. The uses Of glycerine
are becoming more extended and valuable.
There is no application that is better than
few drops rubbed daily over the hands, to
keep them moist and smooth. The hands
should be first moistened with water. as the
/ glycerine otherwise absorbs moisture from
the skin. Gyoerine and carbolic acid
1 three ounces of the former 10 fifteen grains
OF the latter-are among the most effective
applications for chapped hands, and equally
for a scur,y skin. 1t may be used two or
three times day Glycerine is also said to
be exceedingly effective in some cases Of
