TIio Eighth Comuifimliiit'iif. BY MRS. GKOKCiK A. PAULL. A new boy had entered Professor Palmer's school, and lie had not been there more than a few hours before the ' teacher observed that there seemed 3 to be a strong feeling of dislike to the t newcomer manifested among the other I boys in school. At noon he called one t of the older boys to him, ami asked 1 him why the pupils were not more . courteous to (he new boy, and why I there had been so many meaning I dances cast at him, .and no kindness < i shown him. > "Well, sir, to tell lite truth," explained Nevins, "one of the boys says ( he used to know of him, and once it < was said that he had taken some mon- | ey that did not belong to him. Jt was never proved exactly, but still we ' don't feel as if we wanted to associate 1 with a thief." * ' J'm afraid he may feel that in that ( case he has some reason for not wanting to associate with you," said t Professor Palmer. I "What do you mean, sir ?" asked Ne- ! ^ vius, his face flushing hotly with I anger, and bis voice trembling as I he tried to speak respectfully. "You I don't mean that any of us are thieves, < do you?" ' "What is a thief?" asked Professor i Palmer. - < "Anyone who takes what does not belong to him," answered Nevins, promptly. 4 "Then can you plead not guijty in i that regard?" asked the professor i gravely. . t "Of course I can, sir," Nevins re- ? plied, hastily. "Why you can't mean i ?you don't think sufely you don't mean that I am a thief, do you ?" he asked. "What reason have I ever given you for thiukiug any such a , thine:as that, Professor Palmer?" j "Nevins, I have been wanting to , have a.talk with you for some days . and this is a good opportunity," said \ his teacher. "You say a thief is one who takes , that which does not belong to him. j Now are you aware that not a dav *L l i? passes mat you uu uui ia^ juuiacn open to accusation of stealing, even though you may not take any money, , or anything or marketable value?" "?so, sir," Nevins responded. UI i don't understand you at all, sir." "Well, we will begin with your (' gravest offense, then," said the profess- ( or. "What do we do the first fifteen minutes of school time every morn- ' ing?" "We have prayers," Xevius answered, in a puzzled tone. "Yes, and so that time is set apart i for God's worship. We give him that time, and consider it his each day, do we not?" "Yes, sir," Nevins answered. He was beginning at last to have some r idea of what his teacher meant. "When I spe a boy during that time, J either studying his lessons, or looking i about the room, or trying to attract the t attention of-some of his schoolmates, am I not right in saying that he is \ taking something which does not I belong to him ?" "Yes, sir," answered Kevins. "That is surely a grave ofTense, and one which I do not believe you will be guilty of again, now that you realize that it is," went on Professor Palmer. "I do not think you would willingly take from God that which we have set apart for his service. But beyond that, what does your father send you here to school for?" "Tolearu," Nevinsanswered. "Yes, he sent you here to get an eduacation, and he pays me to provide you with opportunities of instruction. When you spend the hours of school in diverting your schoolmates by mischievous pranks in studying your lessous just as littleas possible to avoid disgrace and being kept in after school, J tUnf it/Mi ova ?v\KKinnr J UU jruu IlUt unutv tuaw juu ?.?*> ivwuig your father of what is justly his due ? "Has he not a right lo expect from you * that you will make the best of yourself C duriug these hours that he wishes you to study?" j "Ye*, sir," Xevins answered, again I feeling his face grow hot with embarrassment. 4 "Then when you certainly have laid yourself open to the charge of having a violated the commandment, Nevins, even although you may have done it thoughtlessly, without a full realization of what you were about, do you not think it would be well to suspend judgment upou a stranger, at least until you are quite sure that he 0 is guilty of the charge you prefer aijainst him ? There are many ways of being guilty of the same fault, and I do uot think you will say that it is less wrong to rob one's fellowmau, that is more dishonest to defraud a stranger, J than to defraud one's father who loves and trusts you so perfectly that he never doubts that you *re fulfilling his wishes, and making the bestof the opportunities tbat he has given you. I am grieved that you should have been the leader in making the first day : so uncomfortable for a stranger, my 1 boy, and I hope that you will try the rest of the day to atone for sl your hasty judgment. I am sure that when the story you have heard shall be more fully investigated you will find out tbat it is a mistake, for I know the boy too well to believe that it can be true. Now I hope you will turn over a new leaf, Nevius. t my boy. Ilemember that I know that I you are not intentionally guilty of I actually robbing another, but you see I it amouuts to the same thing when you come to consider it." "All right, professor," Xevius returned, looking "up honestly at him, ,lI shall not set myself up above a boy again iu a hurry unless I am quite sure that I am not as bad% or worse than he is. And I'm sorry anyhow that we have acted so to that new fellow. I'll make him have a good time this noon, and as you say, very likely we will find out that story is a mistake." \ And it did prove to be a mistake, and the accusation had never been I made against this boy, but against another one bearing a similiar name. rnr l 1 1 1 i _ i ine uoys uoc oiny jeartieu a lesson upon the wisdom of not forming hasty 'J judgments, but they learned that there p was more than one way of breaking T the eighth commandment. b Mccpinj; ou The I.cft side. There is little doubt that an immense 11 number of persons habitually sleep on the left side, and those who do so can ^ never, it is said, be strictly healthy. J It is tbe most prolific cause of night mare and also of the unpleasant tast in the mouth on arising in the morning. All food enters and leaves the stomach on the right side, and hence sleeping J on the left side soon after bating in volves a sort of pumping operation. M which is anything but conducive to sound repose. The action of the heart is also seriously interfered with and the lungs unduly compressed. Hence pi it is best to cultivate the habit of al- se ways sleeping on the right side. There is a world of difference be- P1 tween the man who utters his own mature thoughts and the babbler who speaks the thoughts of other men. To spt ak the messages of God, you must wait for the power of God. * V " / CIGARETTES. I Pretty Boyn Who Smoke. "Does cigarette smoking injure the lings?" asked some one of a leading Sew York physician. For his answer he doctor lighted a cigarette, aud, inlaling a mouthful of smoke, blew it hrough the corner of his handkerchief vhich lie held tightly over his mouth. V dark brown stain was distinctly visible. "Just such a stain," said the docor, "is left upon the lungs." If you ?ver smoke another cigarette, think of lie stains you are making. There is a disease called the cigar;tte eye, which is regarded as danger>us. A film comes over the eye, ap* tearing and disappearing at intervals. \nd did you know that boys have been mule blind by smoking cigarrettes? How would you like to part with your sight, and neveragain behold theiight )f day or the faces of your friends? Shall I give you two or three picures? A writer greatly interested in young people (Josiah Leeds) described i pitiful spectacle which he saw?a >ale, woe-begone boy, seemingly less ban ten years old. standing at. the enhance of an alley, without a hat, his lilapated trousers very ragged at the xiiees, his hands in his pockets,shiver ng with cold, yet whittling away at a jigarette. Dr. Hammond says: "I saw in Washington a wretched-looking child scarcely five years old, smoking a cigirette and blowing the smoke from his nostrils. His pale, pinched face was :witching convulsively, his little shoullers were bent, and his whole appearmce was that of an old raau." m m "Denver has one among its pretty jirls who was in the country last summer, and one day she happened out toward the cow lot about milking time uid wasaskiDg the man several questions. " 'Why don't you milk that cow?' die asked, pointing to one in an adjoining lot. " 'Because she's dry, miss.' " 'Dry ?" " 'Yes, miss; she's been dry for two weeks.' " 'You cruel wretch,' she exclaimed. Why don't you give her some water?' A.ud the man turned his face to the 30w house and shook with emotions he ?ould not suppress." WILL! Ill H, D. REESE, SURGEON.

There is something inexpressibl >ainful in the recollection of the ear lead, when there i9 reason to suppo hat their deaths are premature, nee sss, and of!en self-induced; and th 9 undoubtedly the case in a great nut >er of instances. Persons die wh< hey might have lived, when th< >ught to have lived and when th< vould have lived had they taken pr >er care of their health and strength There are few people who know ju iow much it takes to kill a human b ng. Death is to them a far-off' doot o which, in some mysterioi^ way, th< nay at some time be subject; but th< lave little expectation of death, and i lefiuite idea of the causes which lei ,o it. And yet in many cases they a loing from day to day many thin ivhich necessarily imperil and short* juman life. A sudden chHl wlv leated, the unaccustomed wetting ;hefeet, sitting in a draft of air; eatii ind drinking unduly ; over exertii iny power of body or mind, over-stud ng, over-working, exposing one's si ;o danger?these, and a multitude )ther things, may lead to sudden ai mexpected death. Then there are certain other thin ivhich slowly but surely tend to tl same result; the neglect to propei jlotbe and protect the body ; weari: :oo thin shoes and thin clothing wh jxposed to cold, may easily and su Jenly cut short our term of life. Drei Ing closely about the waist?which in a great majority of American M men, never allowed to grow beyoi the size of a girl of ten or twelve ye? 3ld?weakens the system, hinders t powers of digestion, enfeebles thevil organs, hampers the lungs to yield slight attacks of disease which nev would prove fatal if the constitute L?ad not previously been injured ai undermined. There are many persons who tc their heads in lightness when admc i_ - J x_ x.i uAAuu sneu uj ittke cure ui men uetmu a ivoid disease, who afterwards, whi feeble, weak, helpless, aud given ov :o die, are ready to listen to instructio take advice, and do anything; wh anything they undertake to do is Uf less, because it is too late! There are parents who are broke hearted, bereaved, and childless to-d ;he sufficient cause of whose bereav iient and desolation is the ligatui ivith which they are allowed thi growing daughters to confine and coi sress their waists. They did notknc t at the time, but those who had ej :o see, knew that those daughters we indermining health, blasting the ives and preparing themselves f ;arly graves. Christians should take heed to th( vays, and care for the health of bo iouI and body, preserving their ov ivraa onri thp I i VPS of t.hrwp whom Oi ias committed to their trust. An u Imely death is sad event, and it is j he more sad when it is clearly due luman folly, and the transgression he laws which God has written in t luman constitution. iVhen Lime May be AdvnntnffeonM Applied?MannrliiK Grass Lantls. Little may be applied advautageoi y on grass land in the fall, or < vheat after it is plowed and before it ully fitted. If the land is aire a< ull of vegetable matter, it is probalj hat the lime will do great good. For mshels was considered a fair dressii n former years, but now ten to tweu mshels per acre is considered the mc conomical application.

The great drawback in common whitewash is the want of durability, it beiug neceseary to renew it every year; but an improved preparation may be made at a very low cost, that when properly put on will last some years and look very well. It is made as follows, for five gallons: Slake six iN quarts of good lime iu hot water, cover_ ing it up while in process of slaking, to keep in the steam ; when slaked, strain through a course cloth : add one quart El) 9.a'l> prepared by boiling in water uti until dissolved, and the impurities have been skimofed off' also add one pound of alum, one-halt pouud of copperas, three-fourths of a pound of potash, four quarts of very line sand, and color.ng to suit fancy.- This prep aration should be put on hot; if propal erly done, it makes a durable paint, m- To make a brilliant white, to the amount of lime above mentioned, add 3. onefourth of a pound of burnt alum, one pound of refined sugar, three pints _ of ride flour made into a thin paste, 2 and one pound of dissolved glue. This, li like the other, should be applied hot. If the lime be good, it will make a very pure white that will last some years. It is said, with what truth we cannot vouch for, that the east end ent of the White House at Washington or was at one time covered with this preparation. There can be but little aoubt that it is economy to keep rough, board fences and out-buildings covered || with a cheap paint of whitewash; ill it prevents decay by keeping the water out of the wood : it also adds very much to the appearance of the home. The outlay is very trifling indeed, ri+n except the labor, which can be done by lilo the farmer or his boys, when other work is not driving. It is believed by many that it pays to whitewash the shingles on the roofs of buildings, as it [)# not only assist to prevent decay, but it is a great.safe-guard against nre. Home-made Candy.?An odd and dej licious candy is made by boiling a pint of cream with a pound of maple sugar; put them over the tire together and let the them heat slowly until the sugar is . to melted, then boil rapidly for one hour; if the sugar is very moist, longer boiling will be required. Pour into well but? tered tin pans lined with waxed paper; i when partially cold, cut into squares I like carmel. Just before it is taken from the tire wainut or butternut meats are sometimes dropped into oue I part of it for variety. Lemon Pudding.?Make a suet paste with one-quarter pound of suet and onehalf pound of sifted flour, and line a PI byttered bowl as for any other boiled WO pudding. Take one large lemon, and to the juice add three or four tablespoonfuls of light brown sugar?sugar varies in sweetness, hence the directions?and enough flour to make the 1 vv" mixture as thick as honey. Put layers 3m" of this and rounds of crust alternately llch until the bowl is filled; cover with the or crust, and boil for three hours. 5Ct do 1 As the preacher has things all his own way, with no one to answer him, he should be particularly careful to be absolutely truthful and honest in every utterance. t I f .National Banl Abbevi e Ca-nital, ji, Surplus, * om?
