Love hx Candle Light.

The expense in light, fuel, ETC., which
courtship brings paterfamilias is a never
worn out joke with our newspapers.
Probably these long enduring fathers
would welcome the introduction of a
system Of courtship pursued by the Beers,
a thrifty race of Holland descent in South
Africa. Here it is the practice for the
young man to make known his intention
10 the lady Of his choice by calling
armed with a long candle. II his suit Il
agreeable to the lady and her family, the
mother lights the candle brought, sticks
a pin in it 20 indicate how long a time
the young people are allowed to devote 10
wooing this time, and leaves them alone.
When the candle has burned down to
the pin she returns and the young man
must withdraw. The same candle is
brought out at subsequent visits and
burned by installments, and when 1t is
entirely consumed, the girl is expected to
have her trousseau in readiness for the
wedding Alta California.

Family PRAYERS.

There IS one mark of household in which
God is known and loved, which IS too often
wanting in our day-I mean the practice OF
family prayer. Depend upon it, the worth
of a practice of that kind can only be mels.
ured by it's effects during a long period OF
time, and family prayers, though occupying
only few minutes, do make a great differ
ence to any household at the end of the year.
duw, indeed, can It be otherwise. When eacn
morning, and perhaps each evening, too, all
the members OF the family, the old and the
young, the parents and the children, the
master and the servants, meet on the footing
Of perfect equality before the Eternal, in
whose presence each is as nothing, or less
than nothing, yet to whom each IS
so infinitely dear, that he has redeem
ed by his blood each and all of them? How
must not the bad spirits that are the enemies
of pure and bright family life fec away
the spirits of envy and pride and untruth,
fulness and s1oth, and the whole tribe of evil
thoughts, and make way FOR his gracious
presence in the hearts of old and young alike,
who, rs he brings us, one by one, nearer to
the true end of our existence, so does ne. and
he alone, make us to bo "of ono mind IN O
house" here within tire narrow presence OF
each homo circle, and hereafter IN that
countless family of all nations and kindredS

A Richteous Verdict.

We rejoice that Chicago jury has at last
caken the part of the widow and the father
less against one of the vampires OF society,
that sucked the life's-blood out OF the bread
winner, and helped to send genius OF un-
usual promise to an untimely grave. Mrs.
Lucy A. Elkins the widow of the painter
whose Mount Shasta" and other brilliant
ladder of fame has under the dram-shop act,
recovered 5000 damages against Chicago
saloon-keeper, who, despite her entreaties to
the contrary, persisted in selling her husband,
who was a victim to intemperance, strong
drink. The owners of the building where
the saloon is located were found equally
responsible with the saloon-keeper 1t was
shown in the testimony that the deceased
artist had been induced to part with some of
his valuable paintings for mere sons E, in
order to raise money to buy more alcoholic
poison.
The saloon keeper who will continue to
sell liquor to man who, by his indulgence
in the Intoxicating cup, is running his life
and beggaring his family, is in every sense
of the word what we have already designated
Mrs Elkins is said to be the largest sum ever
recovered in the country in case OF this
kind, but we think it was by far too little.
What can 5000 do to compensate the widow
and children who were so ruthlessly robbed
of the one who should have been their stay
and support, and who could so easily have
earned a pr:ucely income for his family! We
are glad, however, for the lesson which has
been taught the heartless rum-seller to whom
law has brought home the Scripture denuncla'
tion: Woe unto him that giveth his neigh.
Dor drink, that puttest thy tottle to him. and
m ke t him drunken also!'-P'airie FL11r'r

Weighing Mail Matter.

Half dozen men have been engaged
for several days past in the work Of
placing in position, on Mail street, in the
rear OF the New York T Fostoffice, says the
Times, large new weighing scale. The
operations of these men have been
watched by hundreds Of loungers. and
passers-by, some of whom would ask q
few questions and then pass on without
having learned for what purpose the
scale was intended the Torkmen them
selves being unable to give any informa-
ton in regard to the matter. A few in
quiries in the department of Railway
Mail Service inside the Postoffice re-
suited in the acquisition of some facts
in connection with the weight of mails
not generally known to the public, but
which have some interest. So -.
The Hallway Mail Service is divided
into eleven divisions, one of which, with
headquarters in Boston, is confined to
transportation in the New England
States, and another, with headquarters
in this city, governs the baillwick of the
Middle States. The compensation
awarded to the railway mail lines is based
upon d standard of weight established
once in every four years. Fol-, example,
the mails sent from the New York POST
office to the Pennsylvania Road are
weighed every day for thirty days, say
from January 1 to February 1, and the
compensation from the Government to
that road for the next four years is based
upon the average thus obtained. The
establishment of an average in this way
makes it possible to avoid the delay OF
weighing each wagon load of mail matter
as it leaves the Postoffice on every day Of
the entire four years. In the event of 8
marked increase in the volume of mail
matter carried by any line during tho
quadrennial weighing intervals, such
line may petition for special weighing,
and the future compensation is based
upon the new average until the next
regular quadrennial weighing. The last
regular weighing for all the roads Of the
New England and Middle States divisions
occurred three years ago, since which
time the old scale on Mail street has not
been used. During this interval of idle
ness it got so badly out of order that it
could be no Longer used. A new scale
became necessarytEecause of the petition
of the New York k,SsNew Haven and Hart
ford and New York and New England
Roads for special weighing on account
of their recently augmented mail service:
Those roads being in the New England
division the Boston Postofice was called
upon to furnish q scale. As matter OF
economy it was decided to put in q new
scale in New York SO that both New
England and Middle divisions could use
it at the next regular weighing. The
new scale is one of the largest, and IS
adjusted to weigh from | to 20, 600
pounds. The regular weighing of the
New England and Middle States divis-
ions will occur next spring.

Oatmeal.

Oatmeal has played an important part
in putting good bones into the fighting
men of Europe. Philadelphia Table
Tuik says:
"It is nearly six centuries since Rob-
ert Bruce sent into England his army of
90, ,OO9 men with no provisions except
bag of oatmeal for each warrior; but the
herculean feats which were performed
and undergone by his hardy followers
suggest that there may be considerable
nutriment in that plain, simple food.
''Since those days our Scottish friends
have advanced very materially, but while
they have discarded many features in
compatible with the spirit of the nine
tcenth century they have wisely held
fast to that which is good and they to-
day rank oatmeal as necessary part of
their regular diet, and the hardy con-
stitution of the Scotch, and their free
dom from dispeptic ills, should encoar-
age much wider and more frequent
use of the oatmeal. The best oatmeal
of to-day, thanks to American ingenuity,
is not only nutritious bat when prop
eriy made is very. paltlab,c. Children
learn to like it very quickly when it is
presented in this palatable form, and if
they become accustomed to begin each
day with dish of the best oatmeal, they
will be laying the foundation for good
digestive organization.
''As there are many who are incredu-
lous about the possibility of oatmeal
being palatable, l subjoin the following
hint:
"Put four tablespoonfuls of the finest
quality of Irish oatmeal, with one quart
of cold water, into double oiler; add
q teaspoonful of salt, and stir for a mo-
ment to mix Stand it over brisk fire
and boil it without stirring for two
hours, or until the meal has consumed
the wates, and the mass has a thick,
jellylike appearance; push it to the back
part of the range whc:e it will steam
over night. In the morning bring the
water in the under boiler to boil; then
turn tile oatmeal carefully into large
deep dish. do not stir or scrape with
spoon. If properly cooked it will turn
out like boiled rice, each grain swollen
to four times its normal size, and no two
sticking together. Serve warm with
sugar and whipped cream, or with plain
thick, sWeet cream"

.0Look to Thy Conscience"

WouldsJ thou preserve thy faith, look to
thy conscience. A good conscience is the
bottom faith sails in; If the conscience be
wrecked, how can it be thought that faith
should be safe2 If faith be the jewel, good
conscience is the cabinet in which it is kept;
and if the cabinet be brokon, the jewel must
needs be in danger Of losing. Now you know
what sins waste the conscience; sins either
deliberately committed, or impenitenty con-
tinued in. Oh, take heed Of deliberate sin;
like a stone thrown into O clear stream it
will so disturb thy soul, and muddy it, that
thou, who even now couldst see thy interest
in the promise, wilt now be at loss, and
not know what to think Of thyself.
They are like fire on the top of the house.
it will be no easy matter to quench it.. But
If thou hast been so unhappy as to fall into
such slough, take heed Of lying in it by
impenitence; tho sheep may fall into
ditch, but it is the swine that wallow in it;
and therefore how hard wilt thou find it,
thinkest thou, to act thy faith on the promise
when thou art. by thy filthy garments and
besmeared countenance, so unlike one OF
Gods holy onesl It is dangerous to drink
poison, but far more to let it lie in the body
long. Thou canst not act thy faith, though
a believer, on the promise, so as to apply the
pardon it presents to thy soul, till thou hast
renewed thy repentance.--[Gurnan.

Temperance News and Notes.

Kentucky has 4l22 retail liquor dealers;
Louisville six saloons to each church.
Unlicensed liquor saloons are called "blind
pigs" in Minnesota. A severe libel on the
pig.
A temperance society with eighteen MEM
bers was lately organized ct Kinklang,
China.
The recent banquet Of the Commercial
Travellers Convention, held at Minneapolis,
attended by G5U guests, was served without
wine.
A new beverage has been invented in
France intermediate between beer and wine,
and which is to be sold under the name of
barley wine
Drink seems to be prevalent in Belgium as
anywhere else-perhaps moro so. A news
paper published in Flanders states that "the
daily consumption of a workingrnar--not q
drunkard-there includes at $50 A. ~, a
worm killer; at s A. NJ, an eye opener;' at
IL A. NJ, a whip at 2 p. NJ, digester;' at
'tinisher'" The regular yearly expenditure,
without counting extras on festive occasions,
amounts to PIG francs, 500 to 1200 francs
being the usual wages.
The following message has been received
by Bishop Crowther, of the Niger mission
from the Mohammedan Emir, West Africa:
