VALUABLE ADVICE TO YOUNG GIRLS.
A lady of intelligence and observation
has remarked: II wish I could impress
upon the minds of the girls that the chief
end of woman is not to marry young"
If girls could only be brought to believe
that their chances for happy marriage
were better after twenty-five than before,
there would be much less misery in the
world than there now is. To be sure, they
might not have so many opportunities to
marry as before, but, as they do not need
to marry but one at time, it is necessary
that that one should be satisfactory. AS
q girl grows older, if she thinks at all,
she certainly becomes more capable Of
Judging what would make her happy
than when younger. How many girls of
twenty would think of marrying the man
they would gladly have married at six
teen? At thirty woman who is some
what Independent, and not over-anxious
to marry, is much harder to please and
more careful in her choice than one at
twenty. There is good reason for this.
Her mind has improved with her years,
and she now looks beyond mere appear
ance in Judging men. She is apt to ask
if this man who is so very polite in COM
pany is really kind-hearted. DO his po-
lite, genial actions spring from happy
nature, or is his attractive demeanor put
on for the occasion and laid off at home as
he lays off his coat? A very young girl
takes it for granted that men are always
as she sees them in society-polite friend
ly, and on their good behavior. If she
marries early the man who happens to
please her fancy, she learns to her sorrow
that in nine cases out of ten q man IN
society and a man at home are widely
different beings. Five years at that Pc
riod of life produce a great change in
opinions and feelings. We frequently
come to detest at twenty-five what we
admired at sixteen.-[Scottish American

HOUSEHOLD NoTEs.-"All things work
together for good" is the silver lining to
many a cloud. :;
If home duties were shared by all, each
member bearing a part, there would not
be so many tired mothers.
Ten minutes will fill and polish lamp;
ten more will sweep room. Who can
afford to have dingy lamps or untidy
rooms?
There is train of everyday duties for
each to perform; if we allow the disap-
pointments we meet to cast shadow, we
are not qualified for them.
If there are number OF things to be
done in an hour, always choose those you
would prefer having done in case of sud-
den company; sweeping should be among
the first duties, as you can neither sweep
in the presence of your friends nor look
tidy without it.

their wives keep house," A friend
says: my husband can never find his
hat nor boots; his learning to keep order
was slow work indeed. When he began

A FRESH VIEW OF LIFE.-Much might
be said on the wisdom of taking a con-
stantly fresh view of life. 1t is one of the
moral uses of the night that it gives the
world anew to US every morning, and of
sleep that makes life daily recreation.
If we always saw the world, we might
grow weary oft. Ifa third oflife were not
spent in sciousness, the rest might
become tedious. God is thus all the while
presenting the cup of life afresh to our
lips. Thus, after night of peaceful sleep,
we behold the world as new and fresh and
wonderful as it was on the first morn
ing of creation, when God pronounced it
Every good" And sleep itself has di-
vine alchemy that gives us to ourselves
with primitive energy of body and mind.
The days are not mere repetitions of them
selves. tomorrow will have another mean
ing; shall come to it with larger vision
than have to-day.-[T. II. Munger.

How TO READ BooKs.-It is almost al
ways worth while to read thing twice
over, to make sure that nothing has been
missed or dropped on the way, or wrongly
conceived or interpreted. And if the
subject be serious, it is often we'll to let an
interval elapse. Ideas, relations, state
ments of fact are not to be taken by storm.
We have to steep them in the mind, in
the hope of thus extracting their lnmost
essence and significance. If one lets an
interval pass, and then returns, it is sur
prising how clear and ripe that has become
which, when we left it, seemed crude, OBJ
scure, and full of perplexity.
All this takes trouble, no doubt; but
then, it will not do to deal with ideas that
we find in books or elsewhere as certain
bird does with its eggs-leaves them in
the sand for the sun to hatch and chance
to rear. People who follow this plan pos
sess nothing better than ideas half hatched
and convictions reared by accident. They
are like a man who should pace up and
down the world in the delusion that he is
clad in sumptuous robes of purple and
velvet, and when in truth he is only half
covered by the rags and tatters of other
peoples cast-off clothes.-[John Morley.

SOLITARY CoNFINEMENT.-This solita-
ry confinement is relic of a barbarious
age. The history of the middle ages is
full of cases where men have passed years,
in some instances almost a lifetime, walk
ing back and forth in a lonely cell which,
perhaps, may have been dungeon. All
are familiar with the story of the prisoner
confined in the Castle Of Chillon, in Switz-
erland, who, chained to pillar, walked to
and fro as far as his chain would permit,
and wore deep furrow in the stone under
his feet. The prisoner is gone, but the
tourist may to-day visit the old prison by
the side of the placid Lake Leman and
see this furrow, and ponder on the story
of human suffering that it tells.
In America much of the rigor of imprls-
onment has been alleviated by the intro
duction of contract labor. "Imprisoned
at hard labor" may seem to imply mel
ancholy lot, but compared with solitary
confinement, with nothing to occupy, the
prisoners attention, or his muscles, hard
labor means an existence far preferable.
America is doubtless in the advance in
this reform. The most thinking European
nations come next, while Russia still ling
ers in the twilight of barbarism.

THE LOVE OF RECoGNITION.-Latel
in conversation with one of the most bril-
liant, yet solidly intellectual, women it
has been my privilege to meet, we spoke
of the personal love of praise, appreciation
or appreciation that seems to be natural
to people. She said that they should not
care so much as they do about receiving
praise. "But," I replied, "setting aside
insincere flattery, which is easily detected, D.,
do you not think that honest approval Of
genuine appreciation judiciously bestow-
ed, either upon children or grown persons,
is right when they deserve it? Does it
not encourage and stimulate the moral
and mental faculties? 1t seems to me that
human beings are, in this respect, like
flowers. In order to grow they should be
planted in the right soil and receive the
sunshine as we'll as the rain. Apprecia-
tion is to an individual what the sunshine
is to flower" The lady answered: 81

A NOBLE ACT OF HEROISM.

I remember little incident that hap
pened many years ago. When I was in
Cornwall, in 1864, | visited the mine
where the incident occurred. Carlyle
refers to the story in one of the chapters
of his "Life of Sterling" Two men were
sinking shaft. 1t was dangerous bus
mess for it was necessary to blast the rock.
It was their custom to cut the fuse with y
sharp knife. One man then entered the
bucket and made signal to be hauled up.
When the bucket again descended, the
other man entered it, and with one hand
on the signal rope and the other holding
the fire, he touched the fuse, made the
signal, and was rapidly drawn up before
the explosion took place.
One day they left the knife above, and
rather than ascend to procure it they cut
the fuse with sharp stone. It took fire.
"The fuse is on fire!" Both men leaped
into the bucket, and made the signal !;
but the windlass would haul up but one at
q time only one could escape. One Of
the men leaped out, and said to the other,
"Up VII ye; I'll be in heaven in min
ute" With lightning speed the bucket
was drawn up, and the one man was saw
ed. The explosion took place. Men de-
scended, expecting to find the mangled
body of the other miner; but the blast
had loosened a mass of rock, and it lay
diagonally across him; and with the ex-
ception of a few bruises and little scorch-
ing, he was unhurt. When asked why he
urged his comrade to escape, he gave a
reason that skeptics would laugh at. 1
would not be what is to-day called skep-
tic for all the wealth of the world. But
what did this hero say when asked, "Why
did you insist on this mans ascending" I"
In his quaint dialect, he replied: because
I knowed my soul was safe; for I've gle
it in the hands of Him of whom it if said,
that 'faithfulness is the girdle of His reins,
and I knowed that what I gied Him He'd
never gle up. But t'other chap was an
awful wicked lad and 1 wanted tC give
him another chance" All the infidel-
ity in the world cannot produce such a
signal act of heroism as that.

Boycotting Pool Beer.

New YORK, April 16-The Central
Labor Union, to- day, declared q boy
colt on all pool beer.
NEW YORK, April 16.-The brewery
lockout has begun and more than 5000
brewers, brewery wagon drivers, malts-
tiers, helpers, wagon makers, coopers,
painters and apprentices in this city,
Brooklyn, Jersey City, Newark, Pater-
son and Staten Island are out of work.
The financial week of the workmen
ended at noon to-day. According to
instructions of unions, every brewer in
every one of the above.named cities re-
turned to work as usual this morning,
and there were few outward indications
that the greatest lockout that has ever
occurred in this section of the country
would occur in a few hours. Just be-
fore noon, the proprietors OF each
brewery met the men and informed
them their services were no longer
wanted; that they had unanimously
decided to be their own bosses and
would not submit to anything dicta-
torial from their men. However, if the
men sought unemployment as indi-
viduals, and would disconnect them
selves from the unions, they would get
work. The men passed quietly to the
cashiers desk, after they had heard
what the proprietors had to say, re-
ceived their weekly pay and departed.
At noon time. according to agreement,
every brewery door closed, and bust
ness for the time is suspended.

night.

OF AMERICAN SCHOOL
GIRLS.

A society of collegiate alumn1 has Issued
some interesting literature on the subject of
the health of school girls. Among some of
the causes of the semi-invalidism and ill.,
creasing number of nervous diseases that
exist among even Young girls, it ennmer-
ates the following
l.. Social dissipation and excitement. ..
Habitual loss of sufficient and healthy
sleep. 3. Irrcgularity and haste in taking
food. the omission of breakfast and the nse
Of a stimulating, innutritious diet, such as
condiments, pastry, etc. 4. Tight, heavy
or insufficient clothing. .. The ambition of
parents and daughters to accomplish much
in little time.
1t states that inquiries made in school
rooms revealed great neglect of the lawsof
health on the part Of the pupils. In New
York academy a class Of sixty girls be-
tween the ages of 12 and 18 years CHANGED
to be asked by a visitor at what time they
retired the night before. The average was
found to be twenty minutes befor midnight,
but no surprise was manifested by teachers
or regret by pupils. Dat of ninety girls
questioned mt morning in a public school,
twelve had eaten no breakfast; of these
twelve, six had brought no luncheon, the
other six had cake, pie or similar indi-
gestible food.
