But "new pa" had tainted, and
hung limp and speeches. over the
arm Of his chair.
The noise brought him to. He
asked if the earthquake had done
much damage,and seemed in a dazed
condition for some time. Indeed,
the shock of finding himself the ire
vit-point of seven daughters was too
much. His first intelligent words
were those ofreproach. Simpson had
been sent for and was present. Mr..
Brown looked feebly at his distressed
wife and said:
"YOu told me you hadn't any"
"No, dear. / said they were all

real, sweet girls, seven of them. You
must love them for my sake"
"Seven and seven makes fourteen"

a peace was patched up-several
peaces in fact, and after while the
new couple found what can't be
cured must be injured. Mr.. Brown
took the longest to come around, but
when he did, he gave in fully. In
a moment of confidence his wife told
him that she knew beforehand all
about the boys, and had taken her
own cue from that bit ofdesign. Mrs.
Simpson had told her,
"Just like a wOman-never can
keep a secret" said Mr.. Brown Sc
verely.
"Oh, no, dear?" answered his wife,
"because, though she told me all about
your little scheme, she never said a
word to you about NINE"
And Mr.. Brown was obliged to adj
NIT that he was fairly beaten at his
own little game.

believe that our country would ever
have seen the war of 1872 with Great
Britain, or the Mexican War or Civil
War, if there had been no Revolution
|ary War.
The more have studied the history
of the American Continent and of
Europe since the middle of the eigh.
teenth century, the more I am con-
vinced that the American Revolution,
though approved by the most of the
wise and good men of the country was
truly great blunder and great crime
from which our country and Chris
tendon will not recover for ages to
come.
Before close I must allude to the
fact that our Revolution has. had q
powerful effect in kindling the fires OF
revolution and war in Mexico and
South America. Those parts of Amer
lea copied the example of our country,
and as they professed "fought gallant
ly for liberty" but not being an intel
ligent and virtuous people their liberty
did not prove real blessing to them
and what saved our own country from
complete moral ruin and a wretched
evil government was, not the power
gained or kept by the sword, but the
religious and virtuous principles and
characters of our people, maintained
after the war.-Garland, Maine, De-
cember 19, 1883.

Restlessness.

know Of nothing in our own day
more painfully and surely indicative
of the interior wrongness of our life
than the inability everywhere mani
fest to rest and be quiet. No life was
ever healthy and strong in which
there was not central rest, and some
thing to support and feed that rest.
But in our day the question, "What
shall T do next?n is ask before we have
we'll finished that which went before.
And so much of our activity is blind,
purposeless. 1t is merely wasting and
consuming time. There is no virtue
in it, and no intelligence in it; conse-
quently no profit. Life does not be-
come purified, or strengthened, or en-
riched, or made happier thereby. 1t is
simply squandered. Now, all this Is
not simply wrong; it is foolish: 1t is
not simply harmless activity; it is the
activity that comes from internal hol-
lowness of nature. We congratulate
ourselves on being the most "alive"
people in the world, which means, in
plain English, the most restlessness.
But mere restlesssness has no inherent
virtue or goodness in it. 1t simply de-
notes the possession of vitality, which
vitality may be altogether uneducated
and unframed. In every useful life
there must be internal rest. There
must be something believed in 80 firm
ly and 80 continuously. that it holds to
itself the mind and the heart. There
fore it is that the apostle says, "Be ye
steadfast, unmoyable."

PoLITENESs.-W

JAPANESE PoLITENEss.-When
guests arrive, say for dinner, the po-
liteness of paradise is let loose. With
great apparent hesitation they enter,
bowling low with their hands on their
knees if they are men, or dropping on
their knees and touching their fore
heads almost to the ground if they are
ladies. The first japanese salutation
corresponds exactly to the Norwegian
"Tak for -"Thanks for the
pleasure had the last time met you.''
This, however, is but the merest begin
ming of Japanese greeting. A conver'
sation something after the following
style ensues -
IT beg your pardon for my rudeness
on the last OCCASION"
'How can you say such a thing
when it was I who failed to show yol
due courtesy"
Far from it received q lessor
in good manners from you"
"How can you condescend to come
to such poor house as this?"
"How can you, indeed, be 80 kline
as to receive such an unimporta ut per
son as myself under your distinguish
ed roof?"
All this punctuated with low bow!
and the sound of breath sucked rap
idly in between the teeth, expr essiv'
of great erpreSsn1ent.

The person who complacently admits

ness to be beset by any sin. And yet
most persons seem to feel relieved OF 8
certain burden Of responsibility when
they have catalogued an evil desire, OF
habit, in themselves, as their besetting

besetting sin, they seem to regard it as
a possession necessary to the complete

1t is q great and sad defect In our
Presbyterian system that 1t has no ap-
pointed and 80 authorized agency for
bringing together our unoccupied min
listers and vacant churches. We have
between four or five hundred Of the
former, most of them excellent and
able men, now providentially out Of
the pastorate-men as able and spirit
ual as any who are in 1t, who cannot
speak for themselves, and who are sad
dened and Respondent that they are
not engaged in their loved and chosen
work Of the ministry, though Of all
things they most long to be engaged
In ministerial service for the Master.
And 80 we have between twelve and
fifteen hundred vacant churches, more
or less losing, If not suffering, for want
of faithful pastors, while we have no
systematic and authorized agency for
aiding them to supply themselves
with settled ministry. By the Meth
odist system every church has its min
lister and every minister has his
church, unless he Is disabled by sick
ness or the infirmities of age, In which
case he is placed on the retired or super
animated list, with comfortable provi-
sion for support to the end of his days.

TEACH THE CoLTs.-Colts can be
taught by mind as well as children,
and this is the first requisite. A colt
that will obey q moderate tone in the
stable will obey the same outdoors, but
confidence is the one thing needful. A
colt should be curried until he is used
to the comb and brush. Should be
made acquainted with the pitchfork
and convinced that fork is harmless.
Should let you poke the handle under
or over him, or rub his back with the
round side of the tines. If I accident
ally prick q colt, at once tell him I
am sorry, and rub the spot with my
hand. Ropes, straps and cloths should
be laid, dragged and thrown across the
colts back carefully but persistently
till he will hardly notice them. Then
blankets and robes may be used. If
you want to roll q barrel through the
stable, don't take the colt out, but 60
ahead Of the barrel, never behind it,
and gradually get it near enough for
the colt to smell it. If he finds few
oats on the head of the barrel, he will
never be so much afraid of barrel
again. Umbrellas and overcoats
should be used in the same way, and
then when your colt is old enough to
hitch up you will have safe horse.

When Women Should Marry.

Probly the best time for the average
civilized woman to marry would be
any age between "A and 36. 1t is not said
that no woman should marry earlier
or later than either of these ages but
youth and health and vigor are ordi-
narily at their highest perfection be-
tween those two periods. Very early
marriages are seldom desirable for girls
and that for many reasons. The brain
is immature, the reason is feeble and
the character uniformed. The consider
ations which would prompt a girl to
marry at II would in many cases have
very little weight with her at "a At
II she is child, at "a woman.
Where q girl has intelligent parents
the seven years between II and "a are
the period when mind and body are
most amendable to wise discipline,
and best repay the thought and toll
devoted to their development. Before
II few girls have learned to understand
what life is, what discipline is, what
duty is. They cannot value what is
best. either in fathers wisdom or in
the mothers tenderness. When mar.
ried at that childish period they are
like young recruits taken fresh from
the farm and the work shop, and hur-
ried off to long campaign without
any period of preliminary drill and
training, or like schoolboy removed
from school to curacy without being
sent to the university or to theological
hall.
Who can help grieving over child
wife, especially if she have children
and husband who is an ineXperienc-
ed and possibly exacting boy-man ?
The ardor of his love soon cools; the
visionary bliss of her poetical imagi-
nation vanishes like the summer mist
there is nothing left but disappoint-
ment and wonder that what promised
to be so beautiful and long a day
should have clouded over almost be-
fore sunrise.-HoSpital.

YANKToN, Dak., July 2l.-The little
village of st. Helena, on the Nebraaka
side Of the Missouri, ten miles below
Yankton, Is in state Of excitement
over ghastly discovery made there
Yesterday. Men who were prospecting
in the chalk cliffs for material for man
ufacturers of cement came upon o
small opening in the Missouri River
face of the rock. It was found to bea
large apartment carved by nature In
the soft, chalky substance but tho
startling feature was the discovery
within this cave of eight human skel-
etons. They were lying about the
floor in such disorder as to discredtt
the theory that the cave might be an
ancient burial place. The age Of the
bones cannot be determined, but they
have undoubtedly been there . long
time. The belief prevails that these
are the skeletons of early settlers, who
sought the shelter Of the cave when
attacked by Indians years ago, and
that they were either killed In . body
or starved to death.

KEEP AN AccoUNT.-As the census
year began June 1, 1889, and will end
May 81, 1890, in order to show the e1'
tent and vast importance Of the agri-
cultural interest Of our country, every
farmer should keep q strict itemized
account of every product of the farm
for this period, and be prepared to
hand in to tho 'canvasser, when he
comes around, a correct invoice of the
productions Of the farm, and let him
enumerate everything that has been
raised-crops of all kinds, all live
stock, poultry, etc. Also keep an ac-
count of everything sold during this
census period. It will prove as valua-
BILE to the farmer as the census-taker,
and, once commenced, will, no doubt,
be kept up, and such a record will be
found valuable for reference on many
accounts. A correct enumeration of
all farm products will show the farm
interests exceed all others in this coun-
try.-Baltinlore Sun.
