WISE WORDS.

The fewer words the better prayer.
Agreeable advice is seldom useful adj
vice.
Grief hallows hearts even while it ages
heads.
False modesty is the last refinement of
vanity.
The weak may be ioked out of any
thing but their weakness.
All the whetting in the world can never
set razor's edge on that which hath no
steel in it.
The chains of habit are generally too
small to be felt till they are too strong
to be broken
The greatest pleasures often originate
in pain; and the worst pains usually
spring out of pleasures.
If we did but know how little some en-
Joy of the great things that they possess,
there would not be much envy in the
world.
We blame fortune for not visiting us,
Whereas in many cases, the fault lies at
our own door in doing nothing to invite
her in.
A mans desires always disappoint him;
for, though he meets with something that
gives him satisfaction, yet it never thor
oughiy answers his expectations.
Good manners Is the art of making those
people easy with whom we converse.
Whoever makes the fewest persons uneasy
is the pest bred in the company.
True good brceding is nothing more
than the practice of the common princi-
plies of humanity and good nature, ex-
tended to all the concerns of common
life.
A contented mind is the greatest bless
ing a man can enjoy in this world and
if in the present life his happines arises
from the subduing Of his desires, it will
arise in the next from the satisfaction Of
! them

middle class. Only by this means can
it keep step with the great industrial

A Rage For Intense Effects.

From The NeO York Ecening Post
The present season is certaiplyremark-
able for the splendor and elegance
of its fabrics and costumes. The rage
for new and intense effects and combi-
nations seems to have reached its height
and robes of this description appear in
greater contrast than ever beside the
many toilets of pure white, now also in
such vogue. The wealth of the Orient
and the vivid coloring of the tropics
are to be found in the tapestried, bro
caded and embossed silks, satins and
plushes that glitter with network of
beads, which closely simulate gems in
their brilliancy. This prodigality of
color and combination, while it gives
great scope for magni6cence in dress,
also gives chance for excessive bad taste,
thus necessitating the exercise of the
most delicate judgement and a sure ar
tistic eye for harmony, aswell as for ap-
propriateness and good effect.
Among the many regal fabrics now ex-
hibited by accelerated Broadway house
is magnificent bridal satin of ivory
white, brocaded with white lilacs, white
lilies and white rosebuds, the stamens
and pistil formed of cut crystals and
pearls. Ascend pattern shows a ground
of silver satin brocaded with crimson
carnations, and another, of amber satin,
is embossed with scarlet roses and TO-
liage. Lastly is a pale almond satin bro
caded with white anemones, blush roses
and forget-me-nots. All the above
mentioned fabrics are considered low
in price at the rate of thirty dollars a
ward,

Henry CIay's Argument.

Miss Martineau was famous ration
alist. She once visited the country.
During her visit she was introduced to
Henry Clay. In course of conversation
she spoke most slightingly Of practical
religion. Here is the great statesman's
reply: = jso..s.-af
"Miss Martineau, l donot know prac-
tically what the churches call religion.
l wish l did. But do know of its eff
fects. In the neighborhood of my home
were two very estimable families, who,
in years past, fell in what is known as a
kentucky feud, which means that as
often as any of the embittered parties
met at fair or public meeting there
was probability that the fray would be-
gin and it was as likely to kill the in
noccnt as those in the strife. The
neighbors did everything in their power
for reconciliation. l did, all in my power
with the rest but all was in vain. The
killing went on until one of the demon
nations held what they call basket
meeting and at what they call 'reyi-
val these beligerent families were con
verted, as they say, and they have lived
on the best of terms ever since, bless
ing to the whole community. | tell
you, Miss Martineau, that whatever will
change Kentucky fued into loving fell
lowship SO soon and effectively is of God.
No power short of His could do it. -

The ThraIdOm of Fashion.

The most fatal foes to female educa-
ton are the freaks and letters and follies
of fashion. A girl this day bowling at
fashions shrine will make but slow and
superficial attainments in study. Por-
ing over fashion magazines, and an earn
est application to literary pursuits, do
not go we'll together. A mind absorb
ed in dress, display, in mere personal
attraction, can enjoy no pliancy for
mental pursuits, and no independence
for the formation of individuality of
character. The frivolities and vanities
of fashion are opposed alike to intellect
and moral stability. The disgrace and
sorrow that come to many homes are
because fashion has undermined the
moral fabric.
God only knows to what extent the
the love of display, the cost of dress,
the waste of time, and the arts of win
ming admiration have weakened the
moral nature, and brought the innocent
to life ofsin. And why must woman,
and not man, be thus enslaved by fash
ion? Has nature made her less beauti-
full the chemistry and mechanism must
supply an artificial loneliness If man
can be independent of imperiouS fash
ion, why not women? If man need
not chase the butterfly of fashion, nor
be bound to a vampire that sucks his
very life-blood, why must women? If
man may spend more time over text
books and standard literature than
over fashion plates and fantastic pat
terms, why not women? If life is too
precious to fritter away in the mere
seeking of admiration, why not too pre-
cious to be wasted by women? Nay, if
young ladies would give themselves to
mental improvement, and to the accu-
mutation of solid, practical knowledge,
they would better insure their real hap
piness. A mind given to the love and
pursuit of fashion is too fickelto be made
happy either by afluence or affection.
The young man who marries such but
terhy maiden will soon find that silks
and cosmetic are not the real foundation
of connubial bliss. Then let parents be
wise and prudent in bringing up their
daughters; let them be brought up to
be the mistress of neatness and good
taste, and to acquire that mental indie
pendence and culture which insure grace
that the imperious hand of fashion
never gave to body or soul.
n@ On crossing the Rio Grande, ones
first greeting is from a Mexican custom
house officer whose belt is heavy with
pistols. "Having passed safely through
strict examination" says a recent
traveller, 81 asked by-stander what
manner of men these were to whom the
duties ofthe post were intrusted. 'They
are typical of the people, he replied.
'The one with whom you talked shot two
men in dispute in the street last week. ;"

Never show levity when people are
engaged in worship
Never resent a supposed injury till
you know the views and motives of the
author of it, and on no occasion relate
it.
Always take the part of an absent
person, who is censured in company, so
far as truth and propriety will allow.
Never think worse of another on ac-
count of his differing from you on po-
litical and religious subjects.
Do not dispute with man who is
more than seventy years Of age, nor
with a woman, nor with any sort of an
enthusiast.
Do not affect to bewitty, or to jest SO
as to hurt the feelings of another.
Say as little as possible of yourself
and those who are near you.
Aim at cheerfulness without levity.
Never court the favor of the rich by
fattering their vanities or their riches.
Speak with calmness and deliberatiOn
on all occasions, especially of circum-
stances which tend to irritate.
Frequently review your conduct and
note your feelings.

Health Hints.

The best way to deal with a cold is TO
avoid it.
Never prick blister with a pin. 1t
rusts the pin.
Vinegar and red pepper will make a
well throat sore and sore one well.
Corns can be cured by retaining
from wearing shoes three sizes too
small.
The tendency to sleep too sound can
be overcome by having hot soda bis
cult for supper.
A little arsenic carefully used will in
time entirely clean neighborhood OF
rats, mice and amateur flute players.
Never wash in warm water before 60
ing out in the cold air. 1t takes all the
dirt off and leaves the skin exposed to
the cold.
Nothing is more dangerous than to
walk about with bare feet in the morn
ing. If there are any fires to be start
ed let your wife attend to them.
Coarse brown paper soaked in vine
gar and placed on the forehead, is good
for a sick headache. See that there is
supply of brown paper and vinegar in
the house before going to the lodge on
initiation night.

My Portion.

Very little good have I,
Wealth and station have passed me by,
But something sweet in my life I hold,
That would not exchange for place or gold.
Beneath my feet the green earth lies,
Above my head are the tender skies;
look between two heavens; my eyes
Look out to where, serene and sweet,
At the worlds fair rim the two heavens meet.
hear the whispering of the breeze,
The sweet, small tumults amid the trees;
And many a message comes to me
On the bird of wing, in the hum of bee;
From the mountain peak and the surging sea.
Fen the silence speaks voice so clear,
lean my very heart to hear,
And all above me and all around
Light and darkness and sight and sound,
To soul and sense such meanings bring,
thrill with rapturous wondering.
And L know by many subtle sign
That the very best of life is mine;
And yet, as 1 spell each message Ger,
1 look and long for deeper lore;
1 long to see and long to hear,
With a clearer vision, truer ear;
And pray with keenest of all desire
For lips that are touched by the altar fire.
Patience, o soul From little field
There cometh often gracious yield;
Who touched His garments hem is healed.
-Carlota PER-.

Long Ago.

sit beside the sinking fire,
Watch the weird faces in its glow;
All through the night should not tire
But they have faded, long ago.
Ah--dust to dust the last repose-
Ashes to ashes well know
How surely this hath been with those,
Those whom I loved, so long ago.
How surely this with me will be!
From every petty joy and woe,
From fancied slight, from jealousy
Made free and safe-ah long ago.
And yet may some things with us stay =
AS on the waters lilies blow
In white and green-just as they lay
In white and green so long ago.
IT'S pleasant now to think ,-"Perhaps
In Memory's light ones face may glow =
"Out upon Time !"-for all things lapse
In that sad, dreary long ago.
But when I'm dead, don't thou forget
Thou whom I used to treasure so;
Yet may one tear thine eyelid wet,
Because loved thee-long ago!

BI-The Baroness Burdett- Coutts is
interesting herself in the matter of pre-
venting cruelty to children. She thinks
it pity that children can not be re-
moved by English law from homes where
they are maltreated, unless they have
committed some offense against the law.
