We clip the following vigorous senten-
ces on this subject from the New York
Observer:


A minister is not 50 good pastor or
preacher who mirgles actively in political
controversies. His mind is pre-occupied
by them. His spiritual nature is degraded
and clouded and soiled. The temporal rath-
er than the eternal, the seen not the ur-
seen, takes hold of his soul. He may not,
should not, forget under any circum-
stances, the personal relations of men to
things near and tangible; and if he preach
es the whole Gospel, he will constrain
men to act in the fear of God when they
vote, as when they pray. But no minister
was ever an active partisan i'll politics, and
at the same time as good guide Of souls as
when he sought only the spiritual instruc-
ton of his people.

A FABLE.-A man in the mint was told
that he might take away one pOcketful of
gold, if he would run straight home with
it and not stop by the way nor touch his
pocket. So he filled his largest pocket full
of gold and started for home. But as he
was running down little hill, the gold
hung heavy, tore off his pocket and fell
down in the road. When he had got home
and found his gold and his pocket gone to-
gether, "AIas !" said he, 'had l taken less
[ should have more


All the real fun that we ever get, we
must take in by little, temperate pocket
fuls. If we overload once or twice, that
ends the matter. That pocket will never

And, by that sacred name and dear,

Still, through thy foul disguise, see
The rudimental purity,
That spite of change and loss, makes good
Thy birthright claim of womanhood;
An inward loathing, deep, intense;
A shame that is half innocence.
Cast off the grave-clothes of thy SIM

As Mary rose at Jesus word,
Redeemed and white before the Lord
Reclaim thy lost soul in His name,
Rise up and break thy bonds of shame

In the present epidemic of small
pox, which is ravaging so many OF
our cities, it will no doubt relieve
the minds of many TO see the follow
ing authoritative opinion Of DR.. Geo


B. Wood, the venerable Emeritus
Professor of the Theory and Practice
of Medicine in the University Of
Pennsylvania


although vaccination, once per-
formed, very often fails of affording
complete protection against small
pOx, yet it almost always modifes
it partly, rendering it a comparative
ly mild and safe disease. x
The complaint, as it occurs after the
vaccination, is very seldom fatal, and
in the vast majority of instances,
leaves no unpleasant traces behind
it. Though the cases of variOloid,
or secondary smallpox. occurring
after a previous variOlous attack, are
prOportionaIly less frequent than
those which follow vaccination, yet
they are not only prOpOrtionally,
but in the aggregate, more fatal.
x OF 248 cases Of natural
small pOx noticed by Drs. Bell and
Mitchell of Philadelphia, ga were
after vaccination, with but one death,
and Is were after inOculated or
natural smallpox with sir deaths.
In the course of my practice though
1 have seen much of the disease,
1 have lost but one patient after
vaccination and in that instance
death occurred, not from the vio-
lenee Of the variOlOid disease, which
was mild, but from the superventiOn
of Inflammation of the brain, cOnse-
quent on the peculiar state of the
patients constitution at the time.
Thus, it appears that, if the prOtec-
ton afforded by vaccination is not
perfect, it is yet superior to any
other. : = But whatever may
be the cause, the fact is certain, that
one vaccination fails to afford secur
ity against a modified form Of small
pox in very many cases :; and though
the resulting affection may be in
general neither fatal nor defOrming,
yet it is incOnvenient, and may be-
come the source Of a further spread
ing Of the disease, and in some cases
is very dangerous. It is important
to find a remedy for these diseases
and happily such a remedy is afford,
ed in re-vaccinatiOn." - Woods

1t would be a great deal better to wear
the entire winter suits through March,
and even to the middle Of April; and
even then, until the first week in May,
to make no change in the outer clothing,
nor any in the inner garments, except
in less heavy wooden next TO the skin; !;
for it is only for the three hours embrac-
ing one o'clock in the afternoon that
winter clothing is at all oppressive; while
the very warmth of MONDAY makes the
raw dampness Of the morning and the
late afternoon specially felt. All changes
to lighter or cooler garments should be
made at dressing in the morning, and if
in any case the change leaves the body
chilly, or if, soon after it is made, the
weather changes to be much cooler, by
all means promptly, without haf an
hours delay, resume the full winter
dress. The old, the young, the invalid,
in short, all persons of feeble constitu-
tons, of small vitality, should be espe-
cially careful to heed these suggestions;
inattention TO which gives rise to the
very frequent announcementin in the daily
papers in the early spring, Died sud

1t is a mistake to suppose that the
same rules apply to evergreens as to de-
cidious trees. The latter may be set
out in the fall or spring, as best suits the
convenience. But evergreens very rarely
live if trsnsplanted in the fall. Nor
will they endure to be moved very early
in the spring like other trees. They are
more tender and less tenacious of life
Many people, overlooking this fact, have
transplanted in early spring, and met
with i'll success, even where great care
has been taken. The best time to trans
plant evergreens is late in the spring
just at or before the period of active
growth 1t is comparatively easy to
move them at that time, say toward the
end Of May, and no other time will an
swer as well. Another caution is to be
strictly observed, and that is not to ex-
pose their soft and tender roots to the
sun or drying wind This is far more
important with evergreens than with
other trees. Ten minutes exposure of
the fhrous roots to the sun and winds is
almost sure death. Keep them covered
with moss or mating till ready to set

had Just waned, when the new-made
Benedict received orders to depart on a
voyage. Before many weeks had passed,
the grievous news came that his ship
had gone down with all hands, on the
coast Of Africa. For half a dozen years
the captain's widow remained faithful to


his memory. Then trip to Paris
brought her an acceptable wooer, and
Switzerland saw her no more. -Four
years later bronzed and bearded gem
tleman entered cafe on the Boulevard
Montnarte, and called for refreshment.


While waiting its coming he looked
around until his eye rested upon a come
ly lady busy az desk; long, search
ing look, and he was at the desk too; a
few words were exchanged, then, with
loud scream, the lady tainted, and the
whole place was in an uproar. She was
the beauty of Soleure, and the traveller
was her sailor husband, who, after vainly
seeking his bride in the land where
in he left her, had thus accidentally
found her the happy wife of an
other man, and the proud mother of
three fine children. The second case
came to light in Worship street
police court, in London, when
man applied for magisterial assistance
to enable him to get little matter set
tied He had twelve months ago mar
ried a widow-the widow Of drowned
sailor. While he was at work one day,
some one came to him and told him his
missis " was at home with another man.
Throwing down his tools, he hurried
home to see into it, and, sure enough,
found his wife with another mans arms
around her neck He told the intruder
she was his wife, but the man said: "No,
she was his wife, an assertion the OBJ
ject of dispute verified by going off with
her old love, leaving her second mate at
his wits end; and so in this trouble he
came TO the magistrate to get the mat
ter settled one way or the other" The
poor fellow left the court in a very dis
satisfied mood, because all the worthy
could say was that he thought
the matter was settled the other way al
ready.

though laid under one patent and in

made the streets of Paris renowned, and
which is now being used extensively in

New York aud New Haven. Miles of it
have been taken up in the former city,
and the latter, after three months costly

Recklessness in matrimonial matters

auce, but for all that, welded bliss is
more likely to wait upon needless than

result may safely be predicted Of a union

themselves over to good behavior by
