Tbe forest we had entered was a dense

with low branches, and were plentifully
interspersed with windfalls, lying breast-
high on rotten branches, and forming
an odmirahla natural abatis against oar
adranamg column at two armed with ax

After sll, I think there can be no
harm in mentioning a few general prin
ciples laid down by my father. They ars
such as to commend themselves most to
the most practical. And first for a few
uegativ# onea: *
1. Never giva in to disobedience, and
never threaten what yon are not pre
pared to carry oat.
2. Never lose yoar temper. I do not
say never be angry. Anger is some
times indispensable, especially where
there has been anything mean, dishonest
or cruel But anger ia very different from
iemof tamper. - —■■
8. Of all things, never sneer at them;
and he careful, even how yon rally
them.
A Do not work on thsfr feelings.
Feelings are far too delicate things to be
osed for tools. It is like taking the
mainspring out of your watch and notch
ing it for a aaw. It may be a wonderful
saw, but how fares your watch ? Es
pecially avoid doing so in connection
with religious things, for so you will
sorely deaden them to all that to finest
Let your feelings, not your efforts on
then, affect them with s sympathy the
the more powerful th*Vit to sot lorced
upon them ; and, in order to do this,
avoid being too English in ths hiding at
jwu feelings. A mao's own family
has a right to share his good fseliu^,

you are able to eoanot To doubt an

The “frog who would a wooing go"
is now a native of the great repnblioi
and his matrimonial leap is taken across
the broad waters whfth separate America
from Europe. He descends from this
stupendous saltatory exercise, not upon
tbe unsympathetio shores at Britain,
where his race is looked upon with
disdain, and even aversion, but upon
the hospitable and friendly shores of the
new republic in France, where his kin
has been appreciated warmly by gour
mands of every class. The figaro re

distinguished strangers, who ana to be

Citing the 180,000,000 of silk fabrics
produced in this country, Consul Peix-
otto, writing from Lyons, remarks that
we have not a single silk filature worthy
of the name, and are dependent entirely
upon Europe and Asia for the raw ma
terial. There are two questions: Can
ws raise silk? And oan we reel U? The
first has already been answered, because,
having ascertained that the mulberry
will do well in thia country, ability to
raise the worm follows. As to reeling,

the casting of a shadow over an anoee-

China ia thickly tobabited, the result ia
that ax toioeator’s bones may be found

AK ATT BIBLICAL QUOTATH/K,
Where waa it somebody was telling
the Jester about a good old preacher
somewhere down in Ohio, who loved hia
pipe and cigar far better than he did tha
man who always keeps awake through
the hymns and goes to sleep daring the
sermon? One day the committee of
brethren came to remonstrate with tha
parson tor about the hundredth time,
beseeching and commanding him to
abandon the wicked and filthy habit of
smoking. “If,” they told him, “you
can give ua one passage of scripture, one
ine from the Bible that justifies you in
the use of tobacco, we will let you amoks
in peace and never approach you oa the
subject again.”
“ H’m,” said the old man, “ you mean
that, do you ?”
