Things Money Cannot Do.

Some boys and girls have an
idea that money can do almost
anything; but this is q mistake.
Money, it is true, can do a great
deal, but it cannot do everything.
/ could name you a thousand
things it cannot buy. It was
meant for good, and it is a good
thing to have, but all this depends
on how it is used. IF used wrong
ly it is an injury rather than a
benefit. Beyond all doubt, how.
ever, there are many things better
than it is, and which it cannot bay,
no matter how much we have Of it.
liza man has not a good educa-
ton all.his money will not buy it
for him. He can scarcely ever
make up for mis- early waste Of op-
portunities.
| Neither will wealth itself give a
man or a woman good manners.
Next to good morals and good
health, nothing is of more impor-
lance than easy graceful, self
possessed manners. But they can
not be had for mere money.
Money cannot purchase a good
conscience. If q poor man, or a
girl-any one-hss a clear con-
science That gives off tone like q
sound bell when touched by the
hammer, then be sure he or she is
vastly richer than the millionaire
who does not possess such a con-
science. Good principles are bet.

HOMER, La, FRIDAY JANUARY 4 1889.
MOTHER AND son.
The Daughter.in.Law the Best
Critic Of Their Relations.

1t has been said that the is no
such strict judge Of a mother as
her daughterin-law, although the
daughter.in law may lock into her
own bosom the secrets Of her judg
ment forever. Its she who knows
the faults and frailtics of her hus.

have been virtues; and it is she
who, looking back to causes, and
reasoning, out of her love ana
sometimes out Of her sorroN, ques-
lions if The whole outcome might
not have been different if his moth
er had done her duty, had tried to
strengthen where the boy was
weak, had encouraged where he
tallered, had remembered that,
having given him birth she was
answcrable for his life and soul
ard body, and had not enjoyed
her ease instead, and let his life
and soul and body take care of
them selves. And ON the contrary,
if her husband is great and noble
as some strong-winGed seraph,
then it is she, again. who looks
back at his mother, and whether
she loves the woman or not, recog-
nlzes the work she did and &C.
knowledges it with admiration,
with gratitude and with the de,
yotion Of duty toward her when
needs be.
| For, as rule, good mother
makes g good daughtcr-in.law
and few wives who reilly loye their
husbands will feel any jealousy OF
his love for mother who has been
TO him what mother should be,
and there are co respondinglv few
but will feel the unworthiness Of
the object on which that love is
bestowed if tie mother has been
SELF seeking and self-indulgent, and
therefore negligent concerning
him. Perhaps mothers in general
in bringing up their boys may moi
think of any future criticism from
their daughters.in-law or care 70:

what the criticism Of the world
would be, if the world knew The
facts; it is what the criticism Of

Trials OF. Married Life.

of most failures in marriages.. We

best and truest gentleman on

many ways good one, for l com
bine intense economy with really
good appearances las far as they

full Of cares, so impatient and
snappish, so annoyed at the small

good man. He would have often
settled the question, I feel, and
let me live alone if we didn't love

the geography Of London, cab, omni-

ings, fees, etc. They also assist in the
care of needlework and packing.
The following expression from The
Boston Globe is a fair indication of
public opinion: 1.-THE lesson taught
by the growing versatility of women,
as shown in recorded results, is that
she ought to have fair chance. The
bulk Of progressive and fair minded
men are now ready to concede this.
The result may tip over some of the
cherished notions Of our grandfathers'
days, but the age is ours, and a right
full share Of its opportunities belongs
to woman"

The plant from which the Chipesa
ard Japanese obtain the tea is called
by botanists Theabohea. It is a small
evergreen tree or shrub, closely allied
to the camellia- indeed one of the lat
ter, called warratah, is also said to fur
nish a certain class of tea. The bush
of the genuine tea plant grows from
three to six feet high, bushy, branch
es numerous, leafy. The young shoots,
finely silky, are evergreen. The
flowers are white and not unlike myr-
tie, but longer and usually two to-
gether; the anthers and stigma are
yellow; it flowers in August and Sep
TENDER in it's native country. 1t was
first introduced into British gardens
in 176S. The black and green teas, as
we obtain them, depend for their
color upon the process of drying.
Very young leaves and shoots give
the finest tea.-San Francisco Chroni-

A Well to Do Beggar.

A well known figure in the neigh
borhood Of the Stock Exchange is an
old man with long gray beard and
watery eyes, who dresses in shabby
clothes and plays doleful airs upon a
piccolo. His appearance is SO miser-
able that many people drop a dime
into his battered hat. This was what
a prominent broker was about to do
when one of Inspector Byrnes' detec-
tives stopped him and said:
"That old fellow is fraud. I'll
bet he has more money in his pockets
now than you have. We looked up
his record the other day and discover
ed that he was worth good many
thousands of dollars, but he will not
stop begging"
The broker returned the dime to his
pocket and the old piccolo player
glared with his watery eyes at the de-
tective. New York Journal.

Shocking the Snakes.

According to a German scientific
journal, they are using electricity in
India to prevent snakes going into
dwellings, Before all the doors and
around the house two wires are laid,
isolated from one another and con-
nected with an induction apparatus.
When the snake attempts to enter the
house or go under it, he COM
pletes the circuit as he crawls over
the two wires, and if the shock he
gets doesn't kill him it is likely to
frighten him so that he goes away
from there as soon as he can.-Frank
Leslie's Newspaper.

AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE WORLDS IN.
JUSTICE.
I must not forget to say that as
Christ, stopping down, with his finger
wrote on the ground, it is evident that
his sympathies are with this penitent
woman, and that he has no sympathy
with her hypocritical pursuers. Just
opposite to that is the worlds habit.
Why didn't these unclean Pharisees
bring one of their own number to
Christ for excoriation and capital pun
ishment9 No, no; they overlook that
in man which they damnate in 9
woman. And so the world has had
for offending women scourges and OBJ
jurgation, and for Just one offense she
becomes an outcast, while for men
whose lives have been sodomic
for twenty years, the world
swings open its doors of brill
liant welcome, and they may SIT
in legislatures and senates and parlia-
ments or on thrones. Unlike the
Christ of my text, the world writes q
mans misdemeanor in dust, but chs
els a woman's offense with great capl-
tails upon ineffaceable marble. For
foreign lords and princes, whose names
cannot even be mentiened in respectar
BILE circles abroad because they are
