Profit and Pleasure.

A well-known journalist recently adj
vised all boys and girls at once to begin
keeping a scrap-book, in which they
should set down descriptions of any
noteworthy place or scene which comes
in their way; also accounts of any re-
markable person whom they met, with
their photographs or little personal de-
tails " In thirty years" he says, " such
a book will be invaluable to the owner,
especially if he be a journalist or liter
AIRY man. The most trifiing details in
such book as Pepys' Diary or the
Memoirs of Madame de Remusat are
read now with keen interest, as they
make flesh and blood of historical char
acters who else would be but shadows
to us. There are other habits which
boys and girls can cultivate that will be
of incalculable use to them hereafter.
Frederick Robertson made it rule, at
ten years of age, to commit one or two
verses of Scripture to memory every
morning while he was dressing, and
kept it up all his life. 1t became the
daily bread of life to him in his years
of suffering.

Story for Little Folks.

Mamma was having her afternoon
chat with the little ones, and each one
was telling what they were going to be
when they grew up. Charley said he
" was going to be farmer, and have
fine horses and cattle, and plow that
he could ride
John would be a lawyer. He {" didn't
want the sweat to be running down his
back, and the dirt to be getting into
his boots"; he would have " nice rooms
and sit in the shade"
"Well, May?" said mamma, as the
sweet blue eyes sought hers. 50 will
be a teacher, mamma, and l won't
never, never pull little girls ears, and
I'll help them to get their multiplied
ton table, and let them make pictures
on their States"
"And what will BERTHE be?" said
mamma. Now BERTHE was the four
years-old boy, and that very morning
he had walked down town with papa,
and stood awhile in front of black
smiths shop. He had seen the flaming
forge and the big bellows and the red
hot iron beat into many shapes. So,
walking up to his mother, and looking
rather down on the farmer, the lawyer
and school-teacher, he said, Use
agoing to be blacksmith shop."-Neec

Some Prominent People.

Mr.. George w. Childs, proprietor of
the Philadelphia Ledger, neither drinks,
smokes nor swears. Mr.. Childs, as is
well-known, makes it an inflexible rule
never to tolerate drunkard in his en-
ploy. A writer in the New York
World tells the following story: When
he bought the Ledger, in 1864, it was
losing money badly A gentleman
named Coleman was city editor, and he
was naturally solicitous to keep his
place. He went to see Mr. Childs, the
next morning, and said understand
that you have bought the Public Ledger
You and | are old friends. We came
from the same town, Baltimore, and
there is no reason why we should not
get on To be frank with you,' said
Mr.. Childs, in response to this, had
made up my mind that you were the
very first man that l should discharge
'Why?' stammered Coleman, in dismay.
Because said Mr.. Childs. you are a
drunkard, and l will not have a drunk
ard in my employ what if I should
reform?' said Coleman. Mr. Childs
very quickly replied, Then will re-
tain you and double your salary Poor
Coleman had never had such an incen-
tive to reform as this. He caught the
proposition. He did reform, and it is
through the efforts of this reclaimed
city editor that the large reformatory
for inebriates was established in Phila-
delphia. Mr.. Coleman remained with
Mr.. Childs until short time ago,
when he was retired upon full pay"

The LiquOr-Selling Army.

1t has been stated, on good authority,
that we have in this country liquor
selling army of one hundred eighty-one
regiments, a thousand men to a regi-
ment. In Philadelphia we have at least
six thousand saloons, and they would
average two men to saloon. 1t would
surely be no stretch of the mind to be-
lieve that each one of these men causes
the death of at least one child annually,
through alcoholic influences, to say
nothing of the idiocy, insanity, poverty,
vice and crime caused by them. There
is no doubt in my mind that each one
of these men is just as guilty of the
slaughter of children and cruelty to
them as the Italian, Achilles Onifri, re-
Gently convicted, was; and yet they go
unpunished. The Almighty Father
must surely frown upon this wholesale
slaughter of the innocents. Should we
not repent in sackcloth and ashes and
stop it IA. C. Rembaugh, MD.

Temperance Instruction.

If every one of the teachers in the
country were to bring before the youth
full minds entrusted to their care the
temperance question in its hygienic
and moral bearings, the seed thus sown
would soon bear fruit well worth the
trouble. England has availed herself,
of late, with extraordinary success, of
this preventive means; she has found
among teachers the most Jealous fur
therers of the good cause. A "Tem-
perance Lesson-book " is in the hands
of the scholars as well as the teachers
of Great Britain and the colonies, and
in translated form in foreign coun-
tries. 1t should be the earnest care of
the clergy of all denominations and OF
physicians to fight with every means
in their power that which wastes the
good seed sown in school and church
and which destroys the physical and
moral welfare of the people. Consul
General Oppenheimer.

A Hard Battle.

mail from the north. "And all the
way from Chicago, too, and from Aunt
Emma, | do believe.n
When the box was opened. there. in
nest of soft white cotton. Law two
large eggs, ornamented in beautiful
colors. And, wonderful to tell. these
eggs had covers, which, when lifted up.
showed them to be full of sugar-plums'
But these lovely boxes were very frail;
and, in their long, rough Journey. one
of the covers was badly crushed.
Sister can have that I'll have the
good one, said the little boy at once.
lie was looked at with surprise, for
he had always seemed generous little
fellow.
My DEAR" asked mamma, @ would
you do so selfish, so unmanly a thing
as that? Go away, and think about it,
" | don't wish to think about it. 1
don't wish to think about it," he re-
piled, eXcitedly. 81 want the good
one.n
After that no more was said He
began to walk about the room: his face
was flushed, and he looked very un-
happy. If he CHANGED to come near
papa, papa did not seem to see him, he
was so busy reading his newspaper.
After walking awhile he went to the
other side of the room, where mamma
was bathing and dressing his little sis
ter. lie was very fond of his mamma.
When she was sometimes obliged to
punish him, as soon as it was over he
would say
Wipe my tears. kiss me!''
So now, when his dear mamma did
not seem to see that she had a little boy
any more, he was cut to the heart.
AT last he went into grandma's room.
Now he and grandma were great
friends. Many happy hours did he
spend in her lap, hearing stories; and
she called him her g blessed boy" But
now, alas! she was so busy with her
knitting that she took no notice of him
whatever. This was dreadful!
He climbed up into a chair and sat
down. An evil spirit seemed to whis-
per, " Don't give up" and so he be-
gan again his miserable walk. For
nearly one hour did this little boy fight
his terrible battle with selfishness, I'M
til, at last, he could stand it no longer.
He came to mamma, and said, in a
pleasant voice:
{" will take the broken one: sister
can have the perfect one"
Then, when papa and mamma had
kissed him, and he had rushed into
grandma's loving arms, what load of
unhappiness was lifted from his heart

Alcohol and Disease.

For nineteen centuries we have been
drinking every kind of alcoholic drink
that has come in our way, with conse-
quences of various importance, including
the Norman conquest. This long inher-
itance of drink is its strength. 1t has got
into the very tissues of the body and
the very corpuscles of the blood. The
degenerations which it causes are often
transmitted, potentially or actually, and
the circumstances which it entails
deeply secure the continuance of the
evil. What can we do that we have not
done to abate this vice? The leaders
of medicine are conspicuously temper
ate in personal habit and in prescrip-
ton. Medical science has demon
strated the connection of the gravest
diseases with anything more than the
very moderate use of alcohol. In spite
of this we drink-drink at wrong times,
on empty stomachs-strong sometimes
raw, spirit, and drink as if our object
were to generate disease of the liver,
kidneys or the brain, without delay.
Our young men drink, and, worse than
all, women drink as they never drank
before. The workingman drinks, and
the tradesman, too. 1t is not with the
sanction OF physicians that all this takes
place, and we gladly respond to Herr
Oppenheimer's call, and pronounce
such drinking as is going on in Europe
reproach to governments and an inn
mediate danger, as well as reproach
to every one who INDUCES in it.-Lon-
don Lancet.
