Servants Ia English Houses.


Over in England in great house
thirty or forty servants Is no unusual
number, and when there is q house par
sty as many as 100 are often assembled,
for each guest brings his own servant,
and the various Wallets aud maids, the
extra coachmen and grooms, make up q
company that rivals the array in the
drawingroom for pretension and pride;
for all these specially the upper SER
wants must be placed according to the
rank Of their masters. The servant OF
a duke, Of course, precedes the servant
Of an earl, and the valet Of an ambas-
sador naturally goes before the gentle
man OF a mere envoy. They are us
ually called by the names Of their mas
tiers so as to settle at once this point Of
precedence.

Prayed as mothers only pray,
Guard his footsteps in the wildwood,
Let hfrn not be lead astray;
Aud when dangers hoyered Der me,
When my life was full OF cares,
Then 81 sweet form passed before me.
And thought of mothers prayers.
Mothers prayers: all, sacred memory;
i can hear her sweet voice row,
AS, while on her death bed laying,
With her hand upon my brow.
Calling on a Sagjour's blessing,
Fer she elimbed the golden stairs,
There's a sting for all transgressing
When / think Of mothers prayers.
And made her one dear promise
OH thank Heaven, I've kept it, too.

Though hundred times the tempter
Every day throws out his snares,

Why my boyhood's days were sad,
Is there net some one before me
Who will make a mother glad2
Swell her heart with fond emotions
Drive away LIES bitter cares,
Sign, aud keep the pledge for mother,
Heed thy mothers earnest prayers.
oh. my comrades, do not drink it;
Think of Sill your mother said,
While upon her death bed laying
Or, perhaps, she is not dead?
Oh! don't xii! her, then, / pray you.
She has got enough of cares;

Advice to Stoop-Shouldered People.

a STOPPING figure is not only a
familiar expression of weakness OF old
age, but it is, when caused by careless
habits, direct cause Of contracted
chest and defective breathing. Unless
you rid yourself Of this crook while at
school you will probably go bent to
your grave. There is one good way to
cure it. Shoulder braces will not help.
One needs not an artificial substitute,
out some means to develop the muscles
whose duty it is to hold the head and
shoulders erect. | know Of but one
bull's-eye shot. 1t is to carry a weight
ON the head. A sheepskin or other
strong bag filed with twenty or thirty
pounds of sand is good weight. When
ngaged in yes,e n Tag ct ID IS eiths
or before or after breakfast, put the
bag of sand on yoilr head, hold your
head erect, draw your chin close to
your neck, and walk slowly about the
room, coming back, if you please, every
minute or two to your book, or carry
ing the book. as you walk. The muscles
whose duty it is to hold the head and
shoulders erect are hit, not with scat
tering shot, but with rife ball. The
bones of the spine and the interverte
bral substance will soon accommodate
themselves to the new attitude. One
year of daily practice with the bag,
half an hour morning and evening, will
give you noble carriage, without in
terfering amoment with your studies.

An Inventory Of 6ummt.

After his late article and our com
ment thereon, Bro. Bonney feel'
constrained to publish the following
inventory oil his little town, for feal
that the public may think it's gone
and dried up sure enough. W.
cheerfully give it the benefit Of The
LEADERS large and extensive cir.
culation:
Summit has twenty.one mercan-
tile houses, one large stove depot,
one barber shop, two photograph
galleries, two drug stores, three
livery stables, one gun, one tin, and
three large blacksmith ard wagon
and three shoe shops, two butcher
shops, four hotels and two lunch
houses; four saloons, two insurance
offices, three lawyers. one Congress
man, two dentists, four physciant,
one printing office, five carpenters,
two painters and paper hangers,
two pubic gins, and one brick ma
son.
Can it be possible that Summit
has no boot blacks. hotel porters and
pea ut vendors? 1t must be 81, or
they would doubtless have been in
cludcd to swell the list.
The Brookhaven leader., 1886-12-23

Brother Bonney hiss taken the
matter very much to heart because
we accepted and published his own
statement of the stagnant condition
summit and called it "a finished
town." and in his last issue comes
out in 8 long, tedious explana-
tion trying to show that things are
not as bad as they were made 10 ap-
pear, and while protesting to enter
tain naught but good will toward
Brookhaven, nevertheless INDUCES
in q number OF spiteful little alngs
at this growing aud prosperous city.
Pop away, brother Bonncy, TO your
hearts content, If such retorts
serve to divert your mind from the
dreadful and death like monotomy
that ovcrhangs your declining little
Village. They do not in the least
affect tho onward march 81 Brook
