An invalid gentleman aHd his
wife engaged a berth in a Pullman
car; towards midnight the patient
awoke with a severe pain in has
back, aud asked his wife to apply d
mustard plaster as quickly as pos
sible. The latter at once got the
plaster ready and went with it TO
the other end Of the carriage TO
warm it at the LAMP to draw All the
better Returning to her sick hus-
band, the little woman unfortunate
~ went to the wrong section, oc-
cupied by stout wine merchant,
who was fast asleep. She quickly
drew the curtain, lifted the bel
clothes and ia a twinkling clepped
the plaster on the travellers back.
At that moment The SILK tusl,Anss
called out from his berLii, Al RI
what q long time you are,' Now
the poor waman first became aware
of her terrible mistake. Hurrying
to her hus band, she told hisn in d
whisper whas she hal done. hs
poor sufferer could not help ia0gh
ing in spite 81 his pail, and ne
laughed until his pain had left lin.
Then all was still for while, untll
suddenly loud cries and impreca-
tions were heard proceeding from
the wine traveller: .slerrgottslnil

ian certainly comprised the most
brilliant literary age of the English
speaking people. Her political ac-
umen was certainly put to as severe
tests SIS that of any other ruler that
the weirld ever saw.
Maria Edgsworth was an cid
maid. 1t was this womsn's writ
lngs that first suggested the
thought Of writing similarly to Sir
Walter Scott. Her brain might
well be called the mother ofthe
Waverly novels.
Jane Porter lived and died an
old maid. The children Of her busy

have moved the hearts of millions
with excitement and tears.

Don't Whir Them.

Violence does not succeed with
children. A parent who don't know
how to govern child without
whipping it ought to surrender the
care of that child to some WiseI
person. Sportsmen once thought
it was necessary to whip colts
to teach them to start on
the spot at the word, and pull
steadily. They know now that an
apple is better than the lash, and a
caress better than a blow. If dogs
and horses can be thus educated
without punishment, what is there
in our children which makes it nec-
sary to slap and pound them2
Have they less intelligence? Have
they colder hearts? Are they
lower in the scale of being9 We
have heard many old people say
'If we are to bring up another child
we should never whip it." They are
wise but a little too late. Many
children are of such quality that =
blow makes them cowardly, or
reckless, or deceitful, or permanent
Iy ugly. Whipping makes children
lie. Whipping makes them hate
their parents. Whipping makes
home distasteful-makes the boys
run sway, makes the girls seek
happiness anywhere and any
how. Whipping is barbarous.
Don't whip.

New York Tribune: The race

with having a charmed Lille. The
record of his career il China aud
the Soudan presents a long series
of marvellous escapes from death.
The eyer victorious army vas inva

exposed himself with utter reck-
lessness on the field of battle, aud
although he headed the storming
parties and was generally in adj
vance of his meD, sometimes even
pulling them after him, he was new

This is the man whom Dame
Rumor has been making persistent
efforts during the last ten months
to assassinate in the deserts aus
the upper reaches of the Nile. Dai-
ing the last fortnight her stile t.,
warfare has been unremitting, and
the reports of his death have been
contradicted only to be repeated
anew. The Arabs have been chat
tering shout it all the way from
Dongola to Khartoum, and specu-
lations respecting his fate have
been the daily gossip at Cairo AMI
Alexandria. In Paris the rumo,
has been officially communicated
by NJ Ferry to the French minis
try, apparently on the strength OF
dispatches from diplomatic agents
in Egypt. AS the news has been
confirmed in London, wheSe the
government has the most authentic
source OF information, the report
cannot be accepted until it is au-
thoritatively confirmed. The wi
cissitudes OF his fortune have made
him a romantic as we'll as a fanLas
tic figure in q thoroughly prosaic
age. He appeals to the magma
tion not only of Englishmen, but oil
tho civilized wosld. If he survives
the strange campaign of peril and
adventures in the Soudan and final
ly returns to England, he will have
a name to conjure with in sober
minded Christendom as well as
among barbarous races.

Educate the Producer.

1t is no disgrace to q boy to be
come = mechanic or farmer. To
be a good, intelligent artisan or far
mer is praise worthy. There is q
luxury to a well regulated mind ina
knowledge that its possessor is pro
ducing something To become "a
consumer merely is to be dependent,
for some one must produce the sup
plies. Those whose head, rather
than their hands, are employed, who
are the Literati of the community, OF
those who are devoted to scientific
research, or the men of what are
termed the learned professions, are
valuable only as they diffuse inteli-
gence, tending to human comfort
or enjoyment, or as they protect
or promote the interests OF the Ero-
ducers IN society. They serve the
working classes, while tie work ny
classes in return produce for them
There is an interdependence.
What is necessary is TO elevate
the labor. There is 70 work Of
hand, any more than brain, thar
cannot be better done with intclli-
gence to guide in its performance.
What our boys need is such an ed
ucation as to be qu&lified IN the
best and most effective manner TO
follow the vocation which they may
open to them. No man is fully
qualified who is ignorant of chemis-
try and other natural sciences; nor
is any man qualified as me-
chanic who does not know the
best rules, mathematical or other,
by which work may be most efeotu-
ally done.-Academy News.

1t is bad enough to see bachelor
sew OF button, but he is the en-
bediment of grace alongside of a
married man. Necessity has COM
PEELED experience in the case of the
former, but the latter has always
depended upon some one else for
this service, and unfortunately for
the sake of society, it is-rarely he
is obliged to resort to the needle
himself. Sometimes the patient
wife scalds her RICH hand, or runs
silver under the nail of the index
finger of that hand, and it is then
the man clutches the needle around
tie neck, and forgetting to tie a
knot in the thread commences to
pat on the button. 1t is always in
the morning, and from five to TWEEN
= minutes after he is expected to

''atten exactly on the site of its
p tdecessor, and pushes the nee
die through one eye, and carefully
draws the thread after, leaving
about three inches of it sticking up
for leeway. He says to himself:
Well, if women don't have the cas-
lest time I ever see.' Then he
comes back the other way, and gets
the needle well through the cloth
we'll enough, and lays himself out
to find the eye, bat in spite OF
great deal Of patient jobbing, the
needle point point persits in buck
ing against the solid parts of that
button, and finally, when he loses
patience, his fingers catch the
thread, and that three inches he
had left to aold the button slips
through the eye in a twinkling and |
the button rolls leasurely across the |
lioor. He picks up without sin
gle remark, out of respect for his
and makes another at
tempt to fasten. This time when
coming back with the needle he
keeps both the thread and button
ftom slipping by covering them
with his thumb, and it is out OF re-
gard for that part Of him the need lie

and judicious manner, but eventu-
ally losing his philosophy as the
search becomes more and mere
hopeless, he falls to jabbing about

opening, and comes up through the
button and part way through his
