"To relieve the courts from drudgery. without.depriving the people of their rights, to obtain legal redress for leiral wrongs, he they ever so insigni . Iflcant, is the object of the court or Conciliation in Norway and Denmark. It has served its purpose so well that it lias become the most popular tribui nal in each country." The following, 1 says the Atlantic Monthly for Septem| ber, is a reasonably full outline of the i main features of this institution as it exists in Norway : Every city, every village containing at least twenty families, and every parish constitutes a separate "district of conciliation." The districts are small in order to make it ?s easy as possible for the parties to attend the court, as personal attendance is the main feature of the proceedings. The court, or commission, as the statute styles it, is made up of two members one of whom acts as chairman and clerk. These officials are chosen for 11 term of three years, at a special election, by the vo | lers 01 ine uihihui, unui <nuun6 mm I men nominated by the city or pariah council. Only men above twenty-five years of age are eligible, and the law expressly provides that only "good men" may be placed in nomination. The court had meets at a certain place, day, and hour, every weeks in the cities, and every month in the country districts. It is not public. The proceedings are carried on with closed doors, and the commissioners are bound to secrecy. Nothing of what transpires is permitted to reach the outside world. Admissions or concessions made by one party can not be used against him by his adve.-sary, if the case should come to trial in the regular courts. But a party willing to settle before the commissioners is en titled to their certificate to tnat eifect. The court of conciliation has jurisdiction in all civil or private cases. Appearance before the commissioners is compulsory in all canes and the first step in a proceeding. The law court will dismiss, ex officio, every case of this class that does not come up to it from the court of conciliation with a certificate of the commissioners attesting that an effort at a reconciliation of the parties has been duly made before them. The mode of procedure in the peace court is as simple as it could possibly be. The plaintiff states his case in writing, reciting in plain, everyday language the facts upon which he bases his complaint, and what he wants the defendant to do or refrain from doing and requesting that the latter be cited to meet me plaiuuii in uie coun of conciliation to try to reach an agreement in the manner prescribed by law. The senior commissioner writes the court's summons upon the complaint, citing both parties to appear atT" its next or second sitting, as the case may be. A fee of 25 cents is charged for issuing the summons, to \\ hicb is added oO cents if in the oveut a conciliation is effected. These comprise all the costs in this court, and also all that this court costs. The commissioners reseive no other compensation than these small fees. The litigants must bppear in person, except in canes of sickness or very pressing business engagments, when the use of a representative is allowed, provided, however, that he be not a practicing attorney. Lawyers are rigidly excluded from the court of conciliation, except, of course, when they attend to their own behalf. If a party fail to appear in person without good excuse, he will be adjudged to pay the costs in the law court even if he should win the case Rules and forms play only a secondary part. The character and object of this court make it pre-eminently a forum of common sense unfettered by legal Actions. The very atmosphere of the lowjy court room has a softening influence on-those who enter it for a contest for legal rights. The judges are personally known to them, or are perhaps their friends, and are recognized as men in whose impartiality and integrity they cau have implicit confidence. Even the humblest citizens feel that in this forum lie treads upon firm and familiar ground. There are 110 iutricate formalities to becloud the issue, no array of lawyers to confuse him, no crowd of curiosity-seekers to gloat over his discomfoit. The judges and the con testants are the only onus present. Everything induces to an open, frank, and dispassionate discussion of the points at issue. Each party looks upon the commissioner* as disinterested, trustworthy, and friendly counsellors, who will give him only such advice a>will sub-serve his best interests. Why cannot we establish such Courts of Conciliation throughout the English-speaking world.?Jteyiew of Reviews. ( -? <(? Woman's lludciiess to Woman.

Another lady enters and ' the same is repeated. wiivr uiinnld women hesitate to pro-1 tectum! assist their own sex?

Two or three years ago the Superintendent of the "Little Wanderers' Home," in a distant city, received one morning a request from the Judge that he would come up to the court House. He complied directly, aud found there a group of seven little girls, dirty, ragged and forlorn, beyond what ever he was accustomed to see. The Judge, nmiiHncr tn thnm?liltorl v fripnrllticiu and homeless?said : "Mr. T. can you take any of them ?" "Certainly; I can take them all," ! was Mr. T's prompt reply. j "Ah ! what in the world can you do with them all?" asked the Judge. "I'll make women of them." i The .Judge singled out one, even worse in appearance than the rest, and asked again : "What can you do with ' that one ?" "1,11 make a woman of her! Mr. T. , replied tirmly and hopefully. They were washed and supplied with good suppers and beds. The next > morning they went into the school * rnnm with tlip nf.hpr children. Afwrv I was the little girl whose chance for better things the Judge thought small. , During the forenoon the teacher said to Mr. T., in reference to her : 4 I never saw a child like that. I have tried for an hour to get a smile, but tailed.'' Mr. T. said afterward himself that her face was the saddest he had ever seen?sorrowful beyond expressionyet she was a very little girl, only five or six years old. After school he called her into his office, and said pleasantly : Mary, I've lost ray little pet. I used to have a little girl that would wait on me and sit ou my knee, and I loved her much. A kind gentleman and lady have adopted her, and I would like for you to take ^ her place and be my pet now. Will . you ?? ; A gleam of light flittered over the t poor child's face as she began to under- ( stand him. He gave her a penny and j told her she might go to a shop and t get some candy. While she was out i he took two or three newspapers lore them into pieces and scattered them ( about the room. When she returned . iti a few minutes, he said to her: "Mary, will you clear up my ottice a little for me?pick up those papers f and make it look nice?" t She went to work with a will. A s little more of this sort of management < ?in fact treating her as a kind father i would?wrought the desired result, i She went into the school room alter t dinner with ho changed a look and bearing that the teacher was astonish- , ed. The child's far;e was absolutely ( radiant, and half fearful of mental t wandering he went to her and said : "Mary, what is it? What makes you look so happy ?" "Oh, I've got some one to love me! j somebody to love me !" the child answered, earnestly, as if it were heaven come down to earth. I That was all the secret. For want i of love, that little one's life had 1 been so cold and desolate that she had { lost childhood's beautiful faith and | hope. She could not at first;believe in j the reality of kindness or joy for her. It was the certainty that some one loved her and desired her affection ] that so lighted Llie child's soul ana i glorified her face. < Mary has since been adopted by < wealthy people, and now lives in a < beautiful home, but more than all its i beauty and comfort, running like a I golden thread through it all; she still i finds the love of her adopted father i and mother. < Plain Enough. ( No thing is made for nothing. Ev- , ery part of even the smallest animal's structure is, or has been, of use to him. , Othwise it never would have been developed. 4,Can you tell me, my friend," said an elderly gentleman to the keeper of the menagerie, ' what the hump on that animal's back is for ?" "What's it for?" "Yes. Of what value is it ?" "Well, it's lots of value. De camel wouldu't be no good widout it." "Why not?" "Why not? Yer doa't suppose peo pie 'ud pay twent-five cents to see a camel widout any liurap on him, do yer?" You have had a misunderstanding with your friend, and you do not feel that a reconciliation would he possible. Perhaps not, as things now stand. But you will be verv unwise if you speak a word or perform an act that will block the way to a future adjustment. As a Christian man you must hold yourself ready to forgive offences committed against yourself, and, what is harder, to make the amplest possible leparation for any offences which you may have committed against another. Nashville Cli. Ad. The following pleasant thing in the way of definitiou once occurred in one of the public schools of a city of Massachusetts. A member of a committee, Captain X, wus visiting the school, and the class having read from Webster's address at Plymouth, the captain asked the class, "Who was Webster ?" (\,u> tii-ivr ?Mifl -'u statesman," another "an orator." "Hut what is a statesman ?" asked the captain. "A man who goes around making speeches," answered a boy. "That is not quite right," replied the captain;"! go around sometimes making speeches, but I am not astatsman." A bright little fellow spoke up : "I know. 11 is a man who goes around making good speeches." Woiijpii who .Unite Work for Tlicmsc! xv*. Why is it that some house-keepers show so little use of reason in some of their operations! I have in mind a woman who, when she spills anything on the stove, will catch a brush or cloth and hastily wipe it off. then, not content, will immediately whisk the brush or cloth over some clean portion | of the stove, thus leaving part of what ' 1 ' I. nninc fr? r<> sue* nuu ueeu ai ?>> muvu -move. The same woman, when she puts u stick of wood on the lire, instead of drawing tlie brands or coals together gives a vigorous poke, which scatters them in all directions, and if the tire he low th? chances are it will be slow in kindling. If she picks up a pin and puts it temporarily on the front of her dress, she sticks it in with the head down, so that the next movement of hand or arm may dislodge it. If she fastens an article of dress with a common pin, she leaves the point sticking out, so her hands are always liable to receive scratches. Wnulcri by the Southern Farmer. Smaller farms.

Boiled Beef.?The water should boil vhen the meat is put in, so as to coagllate the albumen on the outside, cloae be pores, and thus keep the juices of be meat inside; otherwise it will be;ome tough, and much of its value be ost. In making soup, on the conrary, as the object is to extract the uices of the meat, use cold water. It ihould be heated slowly, and boiled )nly a few moments, just before it is aken from the fire. Dutch Pie.?Butter a deep pieplate md fill it with slicedsour apples, add i small piece of butter and two table ipoonfuls of sugar; coverl with a nice jream crust, and bake. When done lish so that the fruit will be uppermost, and add more sugar and a little :iuuamon. Serve hot. Beefsteak.?Cook beefsteak in a ;ery hoi unbuttered pan; cook quickly, ,uruing frequently. Remove the steak ;o a platter, salt both sides and spread >n butter freely. Set the pan on the itove, that its contents may "brown;" jour in a little hot water, add salt, md turn over the steak for gravy. Cream Puffs.?Melt one-half cup of sutter in one cup of hot water, and ivhile boiling beat in one cup of flour. When cool, stir in three eggs, one at i time, without first beating. Drop ;he mixture on tins in small spoonfulls, and bake in a moderate oven. ForNursiug Sore Mouth or Sore Mouth in rnfants.?Mix together one :erspoonful pulverized alum, the same )f borax, half a salt-3poonful of powJered nutgalls, and n table spoonful 3f honey. Pour over it two thirds of 1 tea-cup of boiling water. Let it settle, and with a clean rag wash the mouth three or four times a day, using a eleah rag each time. This is an aid and tested recipe for this troublesome affection. The Well and the Cess-pool.?The question is asked as to how far these should be apart, and is replied to in this wise by an authority: In some soils they ought to be milts apart, with a Jiill of rock between. Jn sandy soils, with a dry subsoil, a well will drain almost any amount of territory if if ie lmi-or than thulnnrl jiround it. The water will leak through the sand and then make a drive for the first opening below it. The better way is to have no cess-pools, but *o absorb and deodorize all slops and excreta by the use of dry earth and plaster, mixed with which they become excellent fertilizers. In this way a nuicence is avoided and waste is prevented. Great injury is often done to house and garden plants by dousing cold water from the well or cistern upon them. In cities water is sometimes thrown from hydrants over dooryards; but as it is sprayed, it is more or less warmed by contact with the air before it reaches the leaves, and still more before it goes down to the roots of the grass. The plants that are most apt to need watering, melons and cucumbers, need heat even more. To pour water of twenty degrees to thirty degrees lower temperature than the sur rounding air about men- roots gives the plauts a chill, which more than counterbalances any good the watering may have done.?American Cultivator. j I)r. Stephen H. Tyng was speaking to his Sunday-school upon the idea that in the nature of every one there is some kind of animal that needs repression. He likened the liar to a serpent with its fangs, a frivolous boy to a monkey with its antics, tfTe vain child toa peacoc' -preading itself to be admired, ami '.he angry child to a tiger. Afler the talk was over he gave out a hymn. The children did not make ready promptly, and began to sing it in confusion. His face flushed. He rapped sharply on the desk, and gave vent to some exclamation of impatieuce. A little girl swept away into forgetfulness of self by the vehemence of the preacher, pointed her finger at him and called out in a childish voice, but loud enough to be heard all over the rowin, "Tiger !" Instantly a hush fell upon the room. Dr Tyng walked down the isle, took the little girl, shrinking and frightened, in his arms, uuieted her fears with his benign smile walked back to the platform, * k?,. *?hil JUKI, Caressing 11C1, sum IV/ luv (lren. "Yes, she lias told the truth. My enemy all my life has been the tiger in me. I have a hard battle to keep him caged.

When time seems short anil deoth is near And I inn pressed by doubt and fear, And sine, an overflowing tide, Assail rnv peace on every side, This thought my refuge still shall be: 1 know my saviour died for me. Ills name is Jesue, and He died, For guilty sinners crucitled ; Content to die that He might win Their ransom from the death of gin ; f N<> slnucr worse than I can be, Therefore I know He died for me. . If grace were bought, I con;<l not buy ; If grace were coined, no wealth have I; By grace alone I draw my breath, Held up Irora everlasting: death; Yet since I kn?w His grace is free I know the Saviour died for me. I rend God's holy word, and find . Great truths which far transcend my mind; A ad ltttle do I know beside Of thoughts so high, so deep and wide; This is my best theology? I know the Saviour died for me. My faith is weak, but'tis Thy gift; Thou canst my helpless soul uplift, Andsay : l,Thy bonds of death are riven, Thy sins by Me are all forgiveu. And thou sliait live from guilt set free, For I, thy Saviour, died for thee." ?L)r. George W. Bethune. ? Trifles. Many small amenities which the un^ accustomed regard as amoug the fads of fashionable life, and altogether whimsical, unnecessary, and aosurd, will really be fouud reasonable if once looked into with any scrutiny. Where the loud-speaking woman is stamped as vulgar, for example, it is not only because the association connects her loud voice with the fiBh-women of Billingsgate, but because the loud voice is unsuited to dwelling rooms, hurts the ears of the hearers, allows every one to know all the speaker's business, and often that of other people, and betrays, if not a coarse nature, at least an uutrained and uucultivated manner, while bad as it is within doors, it acts a greatly worse part without, where it attracts attention and invites insult; but without and within it is unwomanly, and it being generally admitted that the part of refinement, good breeding, and good feeling is to excite as little remark as possible on the street, the loud t/inP i Q tnpfi Anna ronnrm! au a vulgarity. The necessity of chaperonage for a young girl is another thing to provoke the derision of those unaccustomed to it. In the days of early simplicity before great riches had such great want, and great want had largely increased the criminal and idling class, and before much of the * worst of the older civilizations had been emptied upon our . shores, chaperonage may have been unnecessary; then, it was quite possible, a woman or a young girl might have gone from one end of the land to the other un attended and in perfects safety, like the jeweled lady who, hundreds of years ago. traversed Ireland unmolested. But to-day we would, noue of us like to send a young daughter Abroad iu that fashion. It is not, however, from fear of any romantic kidnapping, or from dread of any positivesjury, nor even to allay the degradiu^ suspicion which has crept in from thc? Old World that, being at liberty and\ having the opportunity to go astray, '< of course advantage wilf be taken of the v fact, that we do wish our young ladies \ to go to the concert alone, or upon thronged business streets, or into the \ quarters where vice lurks, or even to take journeys unattended, but because one who knows the way of the world, and who has a superiority of years or nf exnprinnnp. is nhle tn rnnnurtt the youug girl through such paths and in a way that she will neither see the wrong,* nor be touched by it, nor so much as know that it exists, as one lead9 another over muddy walks In safe footprints. As much contempt is showered upon the system of visiting cards as upon anything else in the line of social niceties; but when it is remembered that the card represents the individual, as the bank bill represents the gold coin, it will be seen that the card is sent out on an embassy, and plays a uneful part in social diplomacy. Bit of pasteboard as it is, it pay compliments, acknowledges attention, serves in place of its owner, invites, declines, apologizes, and does the work of a factotum, so will that, like beauty, it has its own excuse for being. Ana if we looked into the matter still more at length, without doubt we would find that in almost every instance the thing criticised is a valuable usage.? Harper's Bazar. Children's Manners. In training children in good man ners mothers often mistake an overflow of spirits?a natural playfulness of healthy chidhood?for rudeness, and in subduing and correcting tbeseseeming faults rob the little ones of wholesome exercise and a large share of the sunshine of their lives. There is a time for playing, and even the noisy out door sports that develop the young muscle and f-trengihen the fast growing bodies, and chilnren should not be deprived of this privilege of their [childhood. The essential things to be taught them in play are to respect aach other's rights, to protect the weak and to be fair even in their sports. Moral courage should be cultivated in the children by teaching them always to say boldly and do bravely what they believe is true and right, regardless of consequence. ''There is some thingknightly in the lieartoiever.vDoy ?something "helpful and womanly in the heart of* every girl," and these qualities should be developed. The sympathies of children are quickly aroused, and can be rightly directed t > 'tbeirgreat benetit. Pets are a great source of pleasure to children, and the possession of them awakens and increases the chivalrous spirit which enlarges the heart and^ennobles the character. The care of a dog. a lamb, or a goat trains a boy in all that is manly ; while the pet kitten or bird cives a little girl a sense of responsibility, and teaches her kindness to the helpless. Richard Baxter said a faithful preacher would make the people quarrel either with him or with their sius. It is to be feared that some of us do neither. Christ's ministry was a sifting ministry. On the day of His greatest popularity He preached His severest discourse, uttering truths so stern that "from time to time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him."?Christian Sun. rue less peopie spean. ui meir greaiI ness the more we think of it.
