A Brief Hospitality Lesson.
MIND your own business.

MIND your own business.
AVOID controversy and argument.
Do not monopolize any good thing.
Do not make hobby of personal in
firmities.
Do not overdo the matter of enter
tainment.
Go directly when the call or the visit
is ended.
Do not forget bathing facilities for
the traveller.
"MAKE yourself at home "-but not
too much so.
IN ministering to the guest, do not
neglect the family
Do not gossip-there are better things
in life to talk about.
CONFORM to the customs of the house.
especially as to meals.
LET no member of the family intrude
in the guest chamber.
Do not make unnecessary work for
others, even servants.
BE courteous, but not to the extent
of surrendering principles.
WHEN several guests are present,
give a share Of attention to ALL
INTRODUCE games and diversions,
but only such as will be agreeable.
BETTER simple food with pleasure
than luxuries with annoyance and
worry.
HAVE a comfortable room in readi-
ness, adapted to the needs and tastes of
the guest.
A GUEST need not accept every pro-
posed entertainment - he should be
considerate of himself and of his host.
LEARN the likes and dislikes of those
who are to be entertained, but not
through the medium of an imperative
catechism.-Good Housekeeping.

closeness of the tie, the dependence
that is inseparable from the fact that we
are links in chain. Our tendency is
to consider ourselves units. We are
units in moral sense, but in moral
sense only. In every effort of life ex-
cept in that of the development of per-
sonal character we are bound together
so closely that the smallest relation of
affairs is linked to past and future
not only our past and future, but that
of all having the remotest connection
with our affairs. Health is oftentimes
a matter of moral perception. 1t is the
full realization of the necessity of a
sound body if one would have sound
mind, for it is the sound mind that
keeps moral balance and sees the true
relations of men, of things, of efforts.
Overwork is more often the sin of zeal
without knowledge than of intelligence;
it is the blindness of selfishness that
fails of recognizing the rights of others.

Some Sins of the Good.

The burdens and anxieties which we
compel others to bear because of our
thoughtlessness and selfishness are
among the sins of which we rarely
repent, because we so rarely recognize
them. Many conscientious people Of
ten, by overwork or through disobedi-
ence of the laws of health, bring on i'll
nesses which impose burdens on others
for greater or less period of time, and
see the error of their ways only when it
is too late; for when physical suffering
calls halt on the activities, they are
forced to consider others. The selfish
ness of good and intelligent people is
hard to understand and hard to bear,
because there seems no reason for the
blindness that is leading them to the
personal disaster which compels others
TO suffer both in body and mind-in
mind because of sympathy with suffer
ing, in body because of the exhaustion
which is the result of anxiety and care
as well as of physical WEAKNESS. Wives
will ignore every symptom that indi-
Gates exhaustion, refuse to rest for lack
of time, and yet know that at no dis
tant date they will be laid aside, not
only useless, but cause of anxiety and
suffering to others. Husbands will re-
fuse to consider their physical condi-
ton until disease has laid them aside,
aud what should have been days of rest
become weeks or months of suffering
and anxiety. Sons aud daughters too
old to be controlled like liLtle children

ize how closely every home, especially
every intelligent home, is connected
with the world of work and of progress,
and that the interruption of illness

In his last moments he requested
that Frank might be with Lin alone.
His dying words were touching APP
peal to the hayward man that he would
make his peace with God.
Frank was deeply affected, and when
he finally promised, the sinking comrade
pressed his hand, saying in a faint
whisper, q" l die happy-be brave for
the oppressed, and meet me in heaven"
Shortly after, Frank was stealthily
working his way, as we have seen,
toward the bridge. 1t was while lying
by the tree, subsequently feled, that he
fulfilled the promise to his dying COM
rade, and experienced the answer to
the prayer of pious parents and de-
voted sister.
As these explanations and demon
STATIONS of joyous affection were pro-
ceeding, the sound of shots in the
distance indicated that the enemy was
abandoning the neighborhood.
The underground chamber was now
left, and the tito made their way to the
entrance of the tunnel. 1t was found
that the bridge was completely de-
stroyed, and the enemy gone. The
wav appearing clear, the party emerged,
and were soon receiving the congratu-
lations of the Union soldiers. Walter
Denton, Esq, enlisted. The hero of
MILESTONE bridge was promoted, and
Mrs. Denton insisted on becoming an
army nurse.

Need of Sanitary Education.

Women ought to be directly inter-
ested in all sanitary questions. In the
home there is constant opportunity for
the practical application of sanitary
knowledge, and those housewives who
look after the drainage of the cellar,
the ventilation of sleeping and living
rooms, boiling or filtering drinking
water, the immediate removal of all
waste matter from the kitchen, the
careful disinfecting of closets and ba-
sins, and those numberless other small
matters of cleaning, busting, renovat-
ing, which mean so much to the health
of a family, have comparatively little to
fear from the approach of infections
and germ diseases. Nevertheless, /
believe that the attention of these care
full housewives ought to be called to a
crying public need in all of our large
towns and cities; and the fact impressed
upon them that care at home is some
times neutralized by the lack of public
sanitation. Were these vigilant house.
wives once as thoroughly convinced of
the need for careful STRENGTHENING,
burning of garbage, and the cremation
of dead bodies to save the development
and spread of disease germs, we should

which would defy the entrance and es-

other dreaded scourges upon American
shores.-Rural Life.

BY SAMUEL BELL.

A.vsgue rumor reached the Union
army near the coast that the enemy
was operating in the interior. 1t was
deemed advisable to dispatch strong
cavalry force in the direction indicated.
After gallop of several hours it be came
evident that it was no idle tale that
had OF casioned their sending forth.
Sure enough, there was the enemy on
the left bank of the Milestone, near
the bridge spanning that considerable
river. At the discovery of Union cav
airy they Immediately came to the de-
fence of this bridge. 1t was soon made
plain that their superiority of numbers
and equipment would render it fool
hardy 10 face them. 1t was resolved
to stay their advance by burning the
bridge. This, however, proved more
formidable undertaking than was an
ticipated. The structure was so thor
oughly covered by the enemy's artillery
and sharpshooters that it was found
impossible to get near enough to apply
torch. Brave attempts were made,
but failed disastrouslv. At this juno
ture there was call for volunteers,
That bridge has got to be destroyed
who'll fire it?' shouted the officer
in command. The men exchanged
troubled looks. There seemed no es-
cape for the man who would answer
that challenge. Yet, to the surprise of
all, it was accepted by Frank Knapp.
He was the son of well-to-do parents in
the state of New Hampshire.
Their only other child was daugh-
ter, who had become the wife of Walter
Denton, a young gentleman from the
Palmetto state. Their acquaintance
had come about while young Denton
was member of Dartmouth College,
Hanover, n. II. Miss Knapp was his
equal in social position and mental cul-
ture, and, above all, carried TO her
Southern home the principles and spirit
of thorough Christian. Though mod
est and quiet, it soon became apparent
that her consistent life was silently
affe citing her immediate surroundings.
Every body believed her responsible for
the change wrought in her husbands
views on the subject of slavery. Yet
he was not aware that she had ever ar
gued the question with him. He knew
well enough that slavery was abhorrent
to her, but she had never obtruded her
sentiments.
1t is easy to infer what was the
attitude of this hon touching the ordi-
nance of secession. Walter Denton,
ESQ, was outspoken in his dissent.
This q eatly enraged his fellow citizens,
but his wife was the object of their
bitterest enmity, as they held her wholly
accountable for her husbands attitude
toward the course Of his native state.
She had frequently written her parents
concerning the fierce threats which had
reached her, and they had begged her
and her husband to hasten North.
Lawyer Denton, however, only laughed
at his wife's fears of personal violence,
but the following hurried note showed
that he was at last undeceived:

dreaded crisis has come. A midnight mob

But my thoughts were far away
For my leaf of life now withered
Was green again with May.

And I,-ah me,-looked forward
As look backward now.
Why should not look forward?

Where are those dear old fellows2

As walked the streets alone.
There was Fitz, the Irish singer,
And Fred, the tender heart,
And Harry, who lived for Women,
And Tom, who lived for Art.
Poor Fits song is over,
And the heart of Fred is still,
one went down at Yorktown,
The other at Malvern Hill.
Wrapt in the blue they fought in,
They buried them where they lay;
And elsewhere Tom and Harry,
Who wore, poor lads, the gray.
As walked the streets at midnight
And no Al yaaro
That snatched my comrades from me,
My eyes were filled with tears.

Before, they could not go.
When we know what life and death are.
We shall then know which is best;
Meanwhile we live and labor:
Their labor done they rest.
The earth lies heavy on them,
But they do Lot complain:
They do not miss the sunshine,
They do not feel the rain
If they are ever conscious.
In that long sleep of theirs,
1t is when, past the winter.
We feel the first spring airs.
When the birds from tropic countries
Come back again to ours,
And where of late were snow-drifts.
The grass is thick with flowers;
Such flowers as will to morrow

No memory of the Past,
