Tlie regard or disregard shown by men toward the brute creation is a more correct indication of real character than the bearing which men show toward each other. Not only is it asin and a downright disgrace to the human form for a man to abuse or mistreat dumb brutes but it is little less a crime to permit others to do it. To lend or hire horses or mines wiuioui being assured that they are properly cared for is criminal carelessness. To overload a horse by taking up foot passengers that cau walk with more ease than the horse may lie a kindness to a pedestrian and an unkindness to the beast. Many men are willing to "die for their country," who would not give a dollar to improve the roads in their neighborhood nor give a bushel of corn to a poor man to feed his poor horse that is bring plowed to make a crop. A man that does not regard the life of his beast is not a righteous man, be his profession what it may and be the opinion of other people what it may. At the Bottom. Respect for the female sex makes it a matter of extreme reluctance to refer to a prize light which recently took place in John Keeker's saloon in New / Castle. Delaware. The fighters were ?Mrs." Mary Becker and "Miss" Juf lia O'Conner. The usual "ring" regulations were observed with no lack of spectators. We have been utterly opDosed to hanzing women but this <Jis graceful affair jars our opinion. If John Becker were made to build gallowses for hanging the seconds and spectators and those two female animals were compelled to do the hanging and then kiss each other it might do?just cut down the culprits in time to save iife. Translating as He Spoke. The variations of language in different parts of the same country are often so extreme that residents in one region can hardly understand these of a different region. A certain calico manufacture; in the north of England employed a set of workmen whose pronunciation was quite unintelligible to alien ears. One day a southern visiter, wishing to note the variations of popular language, said to him : "I hear that you are obliged to speak in two different tongue.-, one to your friends , and another ta _vour workmen. Is that true?" "It U perfectly tme, as T will show you. Hear me address one of the men. Fetch Mr. Dean." The operative stared, and uttered nothing beyond a peculiar guttural sound. 1 "Fetch Mr. Dean, I siiy !*' Still the same stolid expression of countenance continued. The employer then glanced meaningly at his lriend, to prepare him for a surprise, and said, abruptly, "Fot Dane, mun." The messenger darted off at once, without another word. When he re. appeared, his master said to him, "Why have you tied up your head." No answer was returned, and the question was repeated, with the same result. Then the master said, quickly : What thee got thee ved teed up fur-r V" ,1 "To keep the yure out o'my ecu,' j was the immediate answer. Youth'* Companion. A murder of a boy in a Rom Mi con-] Yeiit at Mariomield, Texas, has just conic i<> light. A lew weeks ago James Gross, a student, escaped and told ofj the murder last August of Lorenzo Es-i ser, another student, by two priests.I The body being exhumed the state-J ments made at the (private) coroner's inquest were found to be false?the boy had not hanged himself. Boon after the murder "father" IVters left for parts unknown. The boy who escaped and told the story had been taught that priests had a right to murder whom they pleased, and the boy lied lest his turn come next. Rev. ( . H.

The number of hours required for sleep for an adult varies from six to ten, according to the temperament, vigor, duties and men. tal condition of the person. Cutter and others say that women need more sleep than men. Energetic people need not be afraid of sleeping too much. Persons who feel uncomfortable after sleeping may generally trace their bad feelings to other causes than too much sleep, which may have been heavy by an unhealthy condition of the blood, want of ventilation, or obstructed circulation from improper clothing or position. Iso one should become so fatigued by work of muscle or brain that a good night's rest will not follow and afford complete recuperation. Only the care of the sick can excuse a lack of so essential a duty as that of securing a sufficient amount of this great ''restorer, balmy sleep." It should be taken regularly, if possible, when the light and noise and bustle of' the day cease. r ? : . : i..* <.. ? i u I li i* mijKU umi iu luucscviTiiiuuuis sleep before midnight, and better to jslcep during (he shade of the night [than when the min bids all things be [astir; yet it is better to hike ;i nap during the day than not to sleep enough. The cost of war is a f'-arful thing. The British and Foreign Arbitration Society lias published a pamphlet, giving the cost of war in Europe. The annual expenditures for armies and navies are $3,807,500,000. The debt in- j curred by wars aggregate $24,113,057,-! 050. There are actually under arms' 4,123,075 soldiers. The number trained for war, and subject to call, is 10,G!)7,4S4 men. There are besides 2S1,253 men in the navies. There are 804 iron-cUuls, and 1,972 frigates. The working people pay all these bills ! - In Jackson's campaign of 1812 originated the now world-wide motto, "Be sure you are right and then j|o ahead.'' ... - i i i? i iiu jiiui/>> us yiveu me personally uy General "William Moore, in these words: "I was a captain, but a very ' young man, in that command. Davy Crockett was in 1113' company, quite young and awkward. I hud trouble with my men and told thern I would go and lay my complaints before the General. I did so, and young Crockett 1 officiously went along. When I had ; stated my case, the General said: ' 'Captain, don't make any orders with-j out needing them, and then execute! tl em, no matter what it costs.' Ke-i turning to camp, the boys wanted 10 know what the General said, when Davy Crockett, with a big laugh, .said, 'The General told the Captain to be sure he is right and then go ahead.' " General Moore informed me that the ! next day Crockett's words were in the 1 mouth of every soldier in the rcgi- 1 ineut, ami they were used all through 1 the campaign. "Be sure you are right i and then go ahead," is a common say- 1 ing now where v. r the English language is spoken. i The Roman Curia has interdicted the use of the Greek cross among the Roman Catholics in Ruthenia. This is a k somewhat important prohibition. The ( Greek cross, which has four arms, has . hitherto been in u?e among Catholics as well as among members of the Rus. | sian orthodox faith. By forbiddingRo- / man Catholics to use it, and by compelling them to adopt the Latin cross , for the future the Curia has made the j ^ emblem of faith of the Poles distinct j from that of the lltithenians, and thereby accentuated the political di(Terences ( which exist between the two races. , 1 ? - V-'hen Charley put on his first Irons eiv^ie wi\< very proud. lie siriiueu up mui down in front of his mother almost crazy with delight.

Harper's Bazar. ma- ^ The True Home Life. What is the central point of the true home life? Is not this the question which we should each, as hotue-buildo?ir mil-spiv***'? Whiit are the i things of all that we do, daily, weekly, or leturning in their appointed time, which are not only necessary, but are harmful to the true bome life? Jt may be tbat the only reasons for doing certain things is because the preceding generation has done the same things, aud that, too, in very mechanical ways. A mother holds her first child while it sleeps upon her lap; it becomes accustomed to it. When she grows stronger she must lay it down to do the necessary work; it frets and cries ami refuses to take its naps. The mother is worn out in her efforts to do the work and quiet the cries; so she carries the child about in her arms. J t is slow to walk. She becomes nervous and irritable, towards her baby, even., Her second child is cross and restless. She bears and rears seveial children. AJ1 through these years the mistake pursues and wears her out. The children are not taught to depend upon themselves and to be helpful. This mother does non-essential things and leaves the essential undone. Her mental growth stopped long ago ; alas for the time when the little children find that mother cannot help hem in their little studies, and alas ii.r the mother who has let the knowledge of her girlhood .slip from her, and has not added to it both for herself and | family ! What is more beautiful to see than great sons and daughters asking mother's opinion of same point which they are in doubt about, which they bring to have settled before they return to school? To have them hasten eagerly to tell her upon their return that their work was right? Sometimes it is through suffering only that a woman learns that there are many things which need not be done. '' tlinjutimna nf f<r>l'cf>(l CIIIiot Jl ""VOW W...W A-.tluit she sees most clearly that real living is not a part of her home life. Alter her experience is gained and she has but little strength, she can then think what she should do with the strength which still is left to her. Temporal wants and pleasures must be considered, and indeed planned for, but there are many things done in the way of cooking food unwholesome through its richness, which should be made rarely, if at all. Sacrifice which take away rest aud sleep to keep up pride in dress or some adornment, should never be made. Let children be taught that they may have fussy clothes when they can make, iron, and keep them in order. In a home where the work is done by the mother and daughters, this plan is * ti'liun liar pursued* lUlJLlU llJUt >Uitu UCI daughters were old enough to iron much-ruffled white dresses they preferred plain ones. Nothing can take the place of neatness and order.

There lived not many years ago a short distance from the town of Beaver, which, by the way, is looking like ii young bride just now in her boudoir of green hills, a man of extraordinary meanness. I don't think it would be unjust to say that he was a miser. Most of you would enjoy the story; more if I gave you his name. But I! won't do it. One day as he was starting out for | Beaver to do his weekly shopping?for j 2ven he hail to buy something for the jupport of liis family?his wife came >ut ami asked him to buy her a darning needle. "What's the matter with the one I1 jo light you last winter?" "The eye's broken out," she replied. "Jiring the needle here," said he, 'I'm not going to allow any such extravagance. I'll have the needle men I led." The woman was wise in her genera- ! Lion, and made no protests. She1 brought out the broken needle. The economical farmer rode into: Heaver and stopped liivt of all at the id icksmith's .shop. He took out the : needle and handed il to the black-' smith. "1 want that mended," he; said. | The blacksmith knew his customer, j and keeping his face perfectly straight i said that the eye should be mended ' whole in an hour's time. The farmer i rode away and the blacksmith walked j across the street and bought a new j needle for a cent or two. When the farmer called again the ' blacksmith gave bim tbe new needle. The farmer looked at tbe smooth, polished surface of the steel, and remarked that was a good job. "How much will it be? said he. "Ten cents," said the blacksmith, and the farmer as he paid it remarked that he knew that .the needle could be mended, but his wife would have gone to the expense of buying a new one if he hadn't interfered. Labor's Revolution. In the manufacture of boots and shoes the work of 5 operators is now done by 1. In making boxes 3 workers can do the work of 13. In cutting clothing with dies one worker does the work of 3 by old methods. A carpet machine with 1 operator does the work of 15 men. Modern improvement in manufac" turing flour saves 75 per cent in manual labor. A machine with 1 man and a boy can make as man.y cans as 10 men by tiie old process. By the use of mining machines 100 in a month, can mine as much coal in the same time as 500 miners by old methods. One boy by machinery is turning woodwork and materials for musical instruments performs the work of 25 men. The steam and horse power used in this country in 1S50, was one million and a half, in 1SSS it was over twelve millions, In the manufacture of carriages it used to take one man 35 days to make a carriage. It can now be made in 12 days. . In the cotton mills one weaver formerly managed one loom; now one manages from 2 to 10. In fact most everything can be made quicker, better and cheaper in these days of modern invention. Daisies ana Mars.

Nettie Armstrong, Lizzie Bertram, and Lizzie's father, sat on the pleasant gallery of Nettie's home one June evening. They had attended a picnic that day, and the two young friends naturally talked of the siglit-seeings and doings of the day. Mr. Bertram sat near, but took no part in the chat-j ting. Nettie broke in upon the thread of conversation rather abruptly with the exclamation : "O, Lizzie! did you see Susie Cjtrell's aunt, who has recently come to visit her? Such eyes! She is just a fright! Her eyes are just like peeled onions." Lizzie bit her lip, and smiling a littin en n? not to o-ive oli'ense. made no vw.x,f -w ? o reply. Nettie, unheeding these silent hints, went oil; "Yes, Lizzie, I tellyou the truth, I could uot help laughing at those oniony eyes every time I looked that way and if I had?'' Abruptly she ceased speaking, for a glance at Lizzie's face was now convincing euough that something was wrong, and at that moment Lizzie shook her head and placed her hand over her own mouth, as a token of silence, and glancing at her father. Nettie took in the situation now, and in Mr. Bertram's unusually grave lace read disapproval plainly enough. As soon as the two girls were alone, Nettie asked: "Lid I do very wrong speaking about .Susie Cotrell's aunt ? ?i - a; r is sue ix rciuuvu ui j uui miu^i ^ . "Oil, no," Lizzie answered ; "'an entire stranger; but father has always taught us never to speak disparagingly of any one, and particularly of their personal appearance, and I thought you would rather know it, and that is the reason I signed you to stop." "Yes, I'm glad you did. I fear your father thinks me very rude. Will you please explain to him that I just wanted to have a little fun, just something to laugh at, I would not hurt the lady's feelings for any thing." 'I know you would not dear," Lizzie said, reassuringly, "but it is best never to have fun at the expense of another, and you know pne cannot help one's looks. Father has impressed these things on us from babyhood. I know you would prefer to be warned about what was grating to his feel-! ings. You do not think hard of me,! Nettie ?" "No indeed. I thank you." And! Nettie turned oil" with a sigh. |ji?. si'fh? it meant! just this : 'How I wish my mother or' father Jiad taught me that beautiful j way! Instead of that I have actually j been taught by example to ridicule! others, and think it very funny. I Kind old Mr. Bertram is right. 11 ought not to be blamed for bad habits' that were actually taught me. Oh ! 11 wish they had reared me up to be kind and-thoughtful!" Nettie Armstrong was trying to be a Christian, but she found that she had many battles to fight with the^habits that had grown up with her from cradlehood, and often before she was aware of her fun-loving propensities, and her want of moral culture prepared for her a pillow of thorns. Not long after the bitter experience about ! the peeled onion eyes she was sitting with a group of young people in a crowded church before services commenced, when a very large lady, with a green shawl around her shoulders, came in with some young people and satin the seat just in front. Nettie immediately began nudging her companion's elbow, and saying, "Mother Bunch ! Mother Bunch ! Yes Mother Bunch in all of her verdancy."

After a little tvhile a young girl seated by the large lady turned her head, and, ashereye3 rested on Nettie's face she exclaimed: "Nettie Armstrong, I have not seen you since we left school a year ago. Let me introduce my mother; she will be glad to see you, for she has often heard me speak of you." Here was a dilemma, indeed, and guilty Nettie felt the cut to the heart. Mother Bunch, the verdant Mother tiunch, was the mother of her dear friend and room-mate at college, and she had been ridiculing her thus. Ohj how could she forgive herself. She felt like dropping on her knees and craving pardon, but this she knew would not do. She could* only hope v her remarks were not heard by mother or daughter. Their kind manner gave her no suspicion that they were, but the sting was in Nettie's heart all the same, aud it seemed to her that their kind attentions were coals of fire on her head, That night, tossing on her thorny pillow, Nettie poudered it all over, and the deep drawn sigh passed the lips, and the heart again took I 4-1. ~ ?-?(tnfAlilil fhot niv up tut; unici uuic uumu vumi. **-*j mother and father had trained me differently ! Am I to blame for habits which have grown with me year by year? The blame rests with them. I am the sufferer. Lizzie Armstrong never h;;s to fight these battles with self, and never has to toss ou thorny pillows of remorse as I do. She is strong and beautiful in character, leading others, audi?I am the moral weakling, so weak that I cannot walk myself or even be led right by her good example." How hard it in to break the habits of chidhood! They are like the bones and muscles in the little body growing firmer, stronger, more closely knit each year. How important to break the evil ones in their incipiency and inculate good habits that may grow strong with the rolling years. How gratefully the hfeart turns the memory pages of a well traiued childhood. The book of the past will be a precious volume keeping for review sweet sunny scenes which refresh and strength|en us in the din and toil of life. It is true that scarcely any one cau say that at times his stubborn self-will has not run counter to the teachings 6f wise parents, but even when the scene is thus darkened we can see the mellow guiding star lightening and mellowing with a holy radiance the way of the erring child. ^ On the other hand there will arise Jn the heart bitter thoughts, blame, and reproach. We hold to the belief that no family is happy where there is no control, no training, no moral culture. There will be discordant scenes, wounded feelings, jarring, and harshness, when there should be sunshine and music, and harmony, and to one thus reared the past is a volumneof unpleasant memories, and it is quickly closed, and placed as far back on the shelf of oblivion as it is possible to put it. Are mothers keeping the "heart rec ord?" In that record are tne out croppings of that inner self noted G down? Can the mother find the first I track of the little child as it steps out I of the path of recitude? Has she tried ? to guide the wanderer back? God ? help the mothers to cultivate the mor- I al nature of their children. 8 A Good Reply. 8 A good reply was made at a chil- fl dren's mission Meeting one evening. I .Said the speaker to the boys : I "There's a time and a place to play, I but the place is neither now nor here. Say, hoys', a kite is a good thing, isn't I "Yes, sir,"' replied a bright littb fol- I low, "but it is imt worth much when B it bleaks loose." fl Stop right there,'' said me spuiiivt-i. _ "I want to ask you a question : How 9 nuich is a boy worth when lie breaks loose?'' The boys undersood at once; I there was unanimous consent that a N boy is not wortli much either. The I speaker had compelled the boys to tes tify against the liabit of breaking loose S from parental restraint, from the teacher's authority, from the loving fin rule of Christ. I
