Entertaining Strangers.

a. BE not forgetful to entertain stran-
gers, is an admonition that was recent
ly brought to the mind of frequent at
tendant and close observer nj church
entertainments. At - sociablen riven
by Young people an elderly lady, plain
ly dressed, entered alone, and not rec
ognizing any one in the assembly, took
a seat near a member of the entertain
ing committee, TO whom, rs she prob
ably wished 20 speak TO some one, she
presently addressed some casual re-
mark, at which the young lady turned
away IN naughty establishment. and
soon walked away without replying at
all. One who had witnessed this direct
rudeness now approached the lady and
entered into conversation, or the time
would have proved rather dull to her
while ava ting the arrival of her An. q

emily entered and said: well. moth

be cited. A lady member of one of
our largest churches casually met and
became interested in Young gentle

the reply 80, am such stranger

place in the church which she attended,
and hoped he would become acquainted
with their young people. The appoint
ed evening came, and so did the young
gentleman, with friend: but. as the
only person known to either one was
unavoidably absent, what could they
do but stand and talk to each other?
This they did for some time. without
being spoken TO by any one else, until
one remarked: Well, Fred, 1 guess

CarlOtta.

According TO Belgian papers the
health of eX-Empress CariOtta. widow
of Macmillan, has so much improved
within the last five months that her
physicians entertain hopes of her re-
covery. The eX-Empress is now in her
forty-third year. but looks much older,
her hair being very gray. She has be-
come thin and wrinkled. but her eyes
still retain their old animated express
sion. The King and Queen of the Bel
gians often visit her at the castle of
Bouchonte, where she resides.
The eX-EmpresS can not afford TO re-
cover. She is happy "a she is. and a
restoration of her memory would bring
her the keenest regret. She is still, in
her Own eyes, the wife of the fair young
man who was shot to death by MeXi-
cans shortly previous 10 the termina-
ton of our civil war, and still the En-
press of Mexico. She went to Paris to

he must leave the well-meaning and

knew how her husband was shot.
She does. not know to-day that
the Mexican Empire was a failure. The

Diseases OF the Horses Teeth.

The diseases of the horses teeth, rs
well as the proper treatment of them,
differ considerably from those of man.
Feverishness, loss OF appetite, diarrhea,
and n number of other and widely dis
similar affections, either arising wholly
from difficulty in denttiOn, or more or
less severely aggravated by it, are so
frequent in young horses, that. when
ever any of them occur, and are found
on examination of the mouth to be ac-
companied with Prominence and push
ing of the tuSheS, a crucial incision
ought To be made upon the gums. The
grinders of horses more advanced in
age are apt To become rOughened in
tac edges from irregu ar growth or from
irregular wearing OF the enamel, and
may in this state give rise to bad ulcers
in the mouth, and ought to be rasped
smooth. Part or whole of Il back tooth
or other grinder sometimes grows to
higher level than the rest of the teeth,
and penetrates the bars above il, caus-
ing serious liberation, or interferes so
constantly and ru.nously with masti "a

such over-growth IS detected, il ought

Carries, or rotting of the substance of
the teeth, occurs more or less in all ami
mails, but is peculiarly frequent and vir-
ulent in man. and especially 20 i'm those
members of the human family who
think themselves most highly civilized.
One cause of this disease I'm man is the
want of due degree of DENTAL action.
Occasloned by the righteousness or soft
forms of food; another is the rapid and

and ought. therefore, to b. well
MANFRED: we believe in going to the Jt-

ter if it be subsoil pillow; we believe
in large crops which leave the land bet
ter than they found it, making both the
farm and the farmer rich at once; we
believe every farm should own a good
farmer; we believe that the fertilizer of
any soil is a spirit of industry, enter
prise, intelligence-without these lime,
gypsum and guano would be of little
use; we believe in good fences. good
tarm-houses. good orchards, and good
children enough to gather the fruit; we
believe in a clean kitchen. a neat wife

BE Slow to Condemn others.

One OF the easiest things is to expa-
tate on the defects of Christians in this
age. There are people who, for hours
at sine, can tell YOU instances of in
consistency they know of.o have heard
of, in prominent church members. Ii
is undeniable I. rat there are many peo-
pie in churches wh,a extend their liberty
to the utmost possible latitude, and
Others who so walk th.t they might
cause any who love our Lord Jesus III
sincerity TO weep, even as diG Paul in
his time, over their ungodly be havior.
Nevertheless. il is much more eaSv TO
censure others than to be ourselves con
sistent, and exert salutary influence
Many church-members blame others
for acts which from education they
have learned TO think are unbecoming,
while education and association permit
them to do thirgs which those whom
they condemn woSld recoil from. 1t is
wise for us all to be Slow in condemn
ing our neighbors. Pau, in his epistle
to the Romans, warns Christians
against Judging one another, .Had gives
with it the eXhortation: "But' Judge
rather that no man put a stumbling
block or an occasion TO fall in ms
brothers way" If individually we
We're more con erncd rs to our own in
huence, rather than quick in our per-
ceptions to mark the delinquencies of
others, we might better serve the cause
Of our Master. We are in danger OF
being conformed to the world and
many man who mourns over the
worldliness of other Christians. is
thoroughly subiugated by the world in
his intense greed Tor success in secular
pursuits. We are az too apt to limit our
conceptions of worldi;pess, SO that we
fail TO see our own course rs meriting
condemnation. Let all remember that
true religion does not consist n bemoan-
ing other peoples sins-but in ourselves
possessing and manifestinG the graces

In Little Things.

A mans real character may frequent
" be better guessed at from his way of
doing little things than from his way OF
doing things OF greater importance.
Chamfort has said. cynically, that lin
great matters men show themselves as
il is eXpedient for them 10 appear To be:
but in little things they show themselves
rs they are. There is certain Justice
IN the Erenchman's sneer, for even the
best of men act more spontaneously.
and therefore reveal themselves moro
freely, in matters which they esteem OF
little account than in other things in
which careful! planning and nice discre-
ton are necessary, 1t is in view of this
tendency OF human nature to reveal it
self in little things that our Lord has
said; "He that is faithful in very lit
tie is faithful also in much; and he that
is unrighteous in Il very little is upright.
eous also in much.n If men were fully
to realize that the world around them
never lacks sclf-consttuted Judges and
iuries to weigh the meaning of every
trivial word and act, they would be like
" to devote more attention than they
do to the little things which now they
count of no importance ut all: the evil
minded would be cautious, u order
thvt they might seem to be what they
are not; the good. in order that they
might come to be what they would Wish
to appear to be.-S. S. Times.

Facts AbOut Time.

AS the recent change in time has
awakened some inquiry on this subject,
the following facts may be Of interest:
Julius Caesar rectlied the calendar 4G
B. c., and by means OF the calculations
of his astronomers made the year OF it
present length. This, however. is said
to be really eleven minutes too much,
and by the time Pope Gregory XIII.
came into power the surplus had
reached eleven DAYS The Pope had
sufficient influence to set aside C9sar' :
method, and the new calendar was ac-
ceptcd at once in Italy, Spain and Port
ugal. 1t gradually came into favor in
France and Germany, and both Den
mark and Sweden adopted it in 100.
In England, popular prejudice opposed
the Gregorian method until, in 1851. an
Act of Parliament legalized the change
and this gave use to the terms ''old
STYLE and ''new style. Ridiculous
as il NAV seem, whenever riots occurred
at that tine. for whatever cause. this
change was made basis of complaint
by those who did not understand q
word upon the subject. Hogarth in his
picture of the election riot, represents
man drunk in the gutter, while neal
by lies his banner inscribed: Give us
back our eleven days" This shove
how readily politicians, even then,
turned everything TO an account. The
recent change is only a more perfect
attainment of uniform standard.
Speaking of time it is very interesting
to see the number of men watching tbs
dropping of the ball at the telegraph
building. This is done at twelve o clock,
thus Indicating Washington time. The
Importance of even one minute is felt
here, since the banks close at three.
and all unpaid notes 90 at once to
protest. Hence trifling delay may
ruin credit The sub-Treasury closes
at two. and as il opens at ten there are
only four hours of public business.
Time, under such circumstances, is in.
deed money! Y. Cor, Utica Herald,
