ONLY ONE INCIDENT.

The following pathetic incident Of the present
food on the Ohio Was thus happily recorded by Col
onel viii S. Hays and published in the Louisville
CottrisT>JoNTnGt:
1t was dark on the Point, and rescuing boat
Went to house in the food and afioat;
When the bow struck the porch they pulled in thea
oars
And tried to get 10 through the windows and doors
Up stairs was light from Pickering fire;
The waves and the water climbed higher and higher
AS if they endeavored TO take tarn about
In seeing which one put the fire out
i" Hello - cried the voice Of the life,saving man.
"There is no one about" shouted Captain Devan
And he shouted, LET go. Come man your oars
boys"
81 Hold on; wait second. Did you hear a noise {?
The men said they did, and the tied the ifeboat
To rickety porch of the old house Sfoat.
" Hello p said the Captain, again and again.
He listened to hear a response, but in vain.
Until presently, seeing little brown head
Approaching window, the little voice said,
" Don't holler so loud, for my grandma is sick
And the Captain said, Boys, you must get up there
quick"
And they climbed up a column, went in at a door
And saw an cid lady asleep on the floor.
And close by her side there q little boy sat,
Wiping tears from his cheeks with piece of hat
And, looking up then with tear in each eye,
Said ''Say, do you think that she's going to die 2
"Oh, no" said the men, " for we'll take her sway
Is there no else in this house but you two
Get ready TO go then-the lady and you.
For the river is rising, the house is sfoat"
They then put the lady and boy in the boat,
And pulled for the Shore where hearts full of Joy
Received the poor woman and that little boy.
The doctor remarked, as he started away,
" l think that the lsdys much better to-day
And I'm satisfied now that she's goi1g to get well.
And tear on the check of that little boy fell,
And he cautiously moved TO the head Of the bed
Aud kissed the thin lips ii the woman and said,
As he looked up and smiled 80 Oh how happy III
be
For there's nobody left but my grandma and me r'
In the darkness Of night you could hear from the
shore
The regular knock OF the life-savers' oar,
And the noise made sound like quckeniug thud
AS their boat rode the waves Of the terrible flood.

The young people may expect another one
of his wonderful books very soon. A very
wealthy American, Mr.. Winslow, died a
few days ago at Paris, leaving large for
tune to his niece, Miss Chamberhn, the
professional beauty of New York, who has
been so much admired at London, and SO
petted by the royal family. This young
lady gave permission to the photographers
to sell her picture, which has shocked the
American colonies of London and Paris.
On hearing of the death of Mr.. Winslow,
the Prince of Wales sent telegram of
coincidence to Miss Chamberlain, and Sl20
for the purchase of wreath to place on
the bier of her uncle. The American colony
is rather quiet at present. A great many
have gone to Nice and to Florence to es-
cape the cold and damp weather. Of course
there will always be many young married
ladies, with child or two, whose husbands
are toiling at Chicago, or San Francisco, or
st. Louis to make money, which will be
spent at Paris, at the thesters, at the cafes,
and in dress. 1t is amusing to hear these
charming and pretty young wives quote
their husbands, and laughingly tell the
puzzled Frenchmen that they must really
bring them over to Paris soon and introduce
them, else they will not believe they have
husbands, o.

A FEW MORE HINTS.

l. In the government of your school
commence, on the first day, just as you
determine to have the order during the
term.
>. Do not make many rules. and let the
need of them determine the time for pub
fishing them.
8. Make haste slowly at first, and do not
make a rule that cannot be enforced.
4. Do not make promises that you can
not fulfill.
5. Do not scold, fret or threaten, but be
quick, yet firm, in your government.
6. Do not permit punishment for disc.
bedience to be cruel or inflicted in anger
but let it be certain.
J. 1t is the certainty of being called tc
account for misconduct, and not the Sc.
verify of the punishment, that restraints.
S. Be as particular in exacting obedience
in minor things as in those of greater i'm
portance.
9. The offenge consists of the disobedi.
ence as much as of the thing done.
10. The pupils should know that you
will be obeyed, then they will respect you,
IL. If you buster and threaten and fai
to exact complete obedience, you will lose
their respect.
u. In designating seats or grades do il
kiudly, yet with the understanding that
you know best, and that you are absolute
monarch.
Is. Require neatness and cleanliness.
IA. Use tact and sense in abiding tC
these things, and you need offend no one.
Is. The teacher has no higher duty than
the incubation of moral principles, hence
all immortality on the school premises must
be prevented.
l6. This can generally be done by sound,
sensible instruction.
II. Embrace suitable opportunities, as
they present themselves, to make impress.
sions on the minds of your pupils which
will give them higher and better aspirations
in life.-[Superintendent j. C. Mcpherson,
in the School Journal.

FASHION NOTES.

Ragged. edged note paper is still favor
lite among English ladies.
Evening dresses with pointed waists and
V necks are becoming and fashionable.
Frills of lace down the front of the
corssge are considered more elegant than
buttons.
Artists of ability now bring out charm
ing novelties in the guest cards used at
dinner parties.
The crape-fnished border is striking
novelty in mourning note-paper, the imita.
ton being wonderful.
Pretty Partisan capotes are made of vel
vet applique on colored lace, with bunch
of velvet flowers on one side.
The evening cloak par excellence is of
cashmere lined with plush, and having a
Grape hood trimmed with lace.
All kinds OF invitations are engraved or
written on clear white paper, except invi-
tations to gold or silver weddings.
Ostrich feather borders in their natural
grsy-brown shades are used for trimming
titan red, blue, and gray velvet costumes,
and are from three to seven inches wide.
The chenille fringes, with each sharply
pointed strand tipped with jet, are much
in favor for trimming handsome cloaks.
A great novelty for evening dresses is not
studded with flowers in relief, not embroid-
cred, but wonderful reproduction of the
blooms. Zone is made of iwhits net
studded with branches of mauve lilac an.
other ia made in steel-grsy tulle, with
punches of lilac, likewise gray, the trim
ming being silver beads and black pearls.
Full panniers, in spite of all predictions
to the contrary, are much worn both with
day and evening costumes The Camargo
bodice, with lace panniers and long trains,
worn over velvet pet.ieoats, are much in
vogue; the train is often cut en- princesse,
and the panniers are made by prolonging
of the bodice plated into the side seams of
the back or separate and worn under the
lace pannier, and disappearing amid the
full folds of the train. This style is very
fashionable in brocaded MORE or painted
materials over silk or satin.

a greet discovery has been made by an
English chemist-that the leaves of the
common mullen Ferboscum Mapsls).
'when Boiled IN milk, are nutritious. and
useful IN chronic cough with debility. and
that 1t has some effect in restraining diar-

They, too, boiled it in milk. There is

Young children are very subject to colds,
for several reasons. First, their skins are
unusually active and vascular, containing
= much larger proportion of blood than
those OF adults; second, they are usually
improperly clad, the middle portion Of
their body being so clothed as to induce
Precipitation, while the arms and lees are
left nearly bare third, they are rendered
susceptible to cold AZ or drafts by teing
kept N too warm an atmosphere, and not
exposed to out of.doOr air. The habit of
breathing through the Gouth, which chiI-
dren ars very apt to contract, may also be
regarded as a frequent cause OF taking
cold, especially during the winter months.
Children should be taught te inhale through

"While in the country last winter my little
boy, three years old. was taken i'll with Group;
it seemed as if he would die from strangu-
lation. One of the family suggested the use
of AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small and frequent doses, and
to our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc
tor said that the CHERRY PICTORIAL had
saved my darling's life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude? Sincerely yours,
Mrs EMMA GEDNEY."
