Whosoever deceives q man makes

Why children leave the Farm.


Wecommend TO the consideration OF
our reader some thoughts of Adeline E.
in the Rural Ne,c Yorker, as to why so
many OF our youths are eager to leave
the farm instead of following the call
Ing OF their fathers and mothers. In
the drst place they are not brought up
to love the country they are early ac-
customed 20 hear both father ard moth
er rgrumble about the hardships of farm
life. Then there is too much work and
too little play for them. The boy
works in the field all day, aud his lit
tie opportunity for amusement in the
evening is cut short by long range of
"chores" till bedtime meanwhile the
sister has much the same experience in
the house. And no agricultural COL
lege in the land will restore what their
parents have blindly allowed them 10
lose.
Study the "bent" of your children.
II a boy hates one kind OF farm work and
likes another. don't make him do what
he dislikes all the time but so far as
possible let him do the agreeable work.
When Ne offers suggestions or forms
plans, don't laugh at him, however i'm
practicable they may be ; but II there is
anything in them make the most IL.
point out his mistakes, and encourage
him to dse thinking powers.
Keep your daughter at home by get
ting for her, as far as you are able,
some things she practically likes-a
magazine, a croquet set, or an organ ;
and let her carry out some OF her pet
plans for improving the flower garden
aud front yard. And If you have given
her some domestic animal. and allowed
her TO pet II aud regard 1t as her very
own, DONE sell IL and pocket the mon
ey. Let her keepit and dispose OF it as
she will. Lst a gift always be real
one
Lastly. the social longings OF young
people must be grstifed. Provide them
with plenty OF good reading matter, aed
encourage all legitimate literary, musi-
cal, and social entertainments. Youth
is not contented without society, and
ought not to be.

Healthrulness of Various Occupation.

Healthfulness Of Various Occupations.
Assuming the normal average death
ra of the community as the unit of
comparison, and calling IL 1000, partic-
ular occupations may be regarded as
healthy or unhealthy, according as the
death rates among those pursuing them
fall above or below that agure. The
most healthy occupation appe ars to be
that OF ministers of religion, whose rate
is 556. Mex: are gardeners and u ursery-
men, $50; farmers and graziers, 63l /;
agricultural laborers, 761 schoolmas-
ters- 119; grocers, coal merchants,
paper. lace and hosiery manufacturers,
wheelwrights, shipbuilders and coal
miners, with ali of whom the average
death rate is under IT'S. The most nm
healthy occupations are the trades con-
nectea with the liquor traffic and hotel
-seIvlce. with which the death rate is
22e5 following these are general labor
ers in London, 2020 I; costermongers,
bankers and street sellers, 1879 inu-
keepers, etc., 1886 and brewers, 1861.
Af-er the trades connected with aIco-
hol, the highest rates ore furnished by
the patrons that involve the breathing
OF dust-other than coal dust-and ex-
posure to lead poIsionng. The death
rste among butchers is also high. 11TO.

Clothes may not make the man, but
they have everything 10 DO with his
general appearance. Enter a barber
shop any day when the chairs are full,
scan the heads of the customers as they
lay back in the chairs, with the towel
and buster close up 10 their chins, form
your idea of the appearance of the man
when he shall have stepped out on the
floor, and in nineteen cases out of
twenty you will be surprised. In the
first place all idea of his size is hidden
under the buster. In recognizing q
friend you do so as much by his size
and manner as you do his features.
You readily recognize an acquaintance
from a rear view as he walks on ahead
of you. In the barber shop you will
see a man with a massive No. S head,
and when he steps down you are as
much shocked 10 find that il is placed

out when a policeman or the engineer

shirt cncrgcs from under the covers.

failure Of friends to recognize each
other while in the barber chairs, and
that happens twenty times a day, the
recognition only following when one
or the other comes of the chair.-St

John T. Raymond's Hotel Joke,

| heard a funny story the other day
about Jimmy Pigott, that clever actor,
who first came 10 this country | think
with Mrs. Langtry and afterward act
ed with young Sothern. Jimmy Pr
gott was at one time very well known
in the gay set about London, and like
many another good fellow lost his
money and had 10 turn round and
make his bread and butter. Just be-
fore he came TO this country he met
John I. Raymond, whose advice he
asked about the hotels and other mat
tiers. This is the result: When Nh.
Pigott got here he stepped into IA cab
and requested To be taken to the
Hotel fombsl' The cabby asserted
that he did not know of any such
place. Then" said Pigott ito the
Hotel Ludlow" Again cabby insisted
on his ignorance. well, of all stupid
cabman | ever came across, this is the
stupidest! What hotel would you
recommend" Hotel Dam, sir"
Dam yourself" said Pigott, getting
out of the cab and posing himself for
a fight. The cabby was quickly off
the box, only too ready TO begin, and
it was only after the surrounding cab
men had explained that Pigott realized
that he had been sold by his friend
Mr.. Raymond, and that the cabby's
intentions were quite honorable. That
same afternoon the genial English
man went to the ticket Office 10 in

Marriage for n Quarter.

a story is told about a minister's
marriage fee that causes amusement
among the clergy. He was paid 81 for
marrying a couple. After they de-
parted he was about 20 hand the money
to his wife when the door bell was
rung. The newly married wife said
she wanted a certificate. No marriage
was good without one. IL cost TWEEN
ty-fyo cents for n blank that would
suit her. The reverend gentleman
filed the blank out in the usual form,
and she went away seemingly salts
fled.
A few days later she again appeared
at the door. Mister, " said the wo-
man, in an aggrieved tone, Il looked
through the papers aud can't lind a
notice Of our wedding. You ought

Crime and It's Treatment.

Time was when folks afflicted with
disease were put out of the way, not
as Bergh's men kindly kill a dis
abled animal to mercifully end its dis
tress, but because deemed unfit to
live. Now the crowning glory of our
century is its magnificent hospitals.
Time will be when our prisons, the dis
grace of this grand age, will be
changed TO humanitarian institutions
for the control and cure of crime, in
stead Of pest places for its punishment
and propagation.
Statesmen and reformers are begin
ming to consider that our system of So
ciety is really accountable for more
crime than 1t prevents. Judges and
juries r frequently called upon TO
condemn unfortunate creatures of cir
cumstances less guilty of otfense
against their fellows than those before
whom they are arraigned. Did all
wrong doors escape detection, as
doubtless the majority do, there would
be no criminals known; while if the
conscicnces Of men We're incased in
glass all would be criminals alike.
There would be no honest men TO bring
the guilty 10 justice. Let all who read
reflect upon this.
He who robs you wrongs himself
worse than you. You may recover
your property or purchase more, but he
has corrupted his conscience, ruined
his reputation, assassinated his man.

a misfortune, while you have but sus-
tanned a ~pecuniary and perchance a
triling loss. II. Preston in Jour
