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.

V 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 ports with much gusto the arrival of tha distinguished strangers, who ana to be introduced with due honor into tha breeding establishments which supply the markets of the gay capital. The Yankee frog is Quito worthy rt tha country in which his first mortal croak ia made.

The ]*weRras consignment has been received by the frog breeders with unbounded joy, and it is anticipated that s skillful treatment of tbe aew race will infuse fresh virtues into ths stock at ths frog ponds, ao that ia tuna, by a careful iysteta of pwipa^stinn, the legs of the croakm supplied to the French restaur ants will rival ia ataa tha lags at chick- sna» which they act mid to roasts bia ia flavor, and It wifi ho lno#tf be ueosaeary tut the giver cri s (east to samArw a holocaust at the npenrivw Wtime. It SILK UAKUWACTVma. 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 impossibility of competing by hand labor with 80 cents a day paid in Europe for reeling and 6 to 10 cents in Cuina fi%e dir Tiob^-walcr. sad Japan is evidently hopeless.' Ha- Wlroom and do not bo chinery must find the way out of the problem, if there is any. An American engineer, who “ believed it possible to invent machinery which, by Hie use and application of electricity, would not only overcome existing difficulties and pro duce a superior quality of thread, but •olva at the same time the all-important labor question, and render silk-reeling in the Uni tod States as possible sod profitable as anywhere else in the world," has been studying the subject in Europe, end Hr.

The burden of my 900 pounds handicapped me in thia swamp race with a bear. Every thicket I crawled through, every windfall I aorambled over, told on me, till at last I was forced to halt. With perspiration bursting from every pore, and breath on ly caught in gasps, I leaned against a tree, and imagined the feelings of the losing hone in a race.

The Chinese look upon the casting of a shadow over an anoee- tor’s grave aa an insalt, sod resent it with impetuous anger. Chinese ances tors are buried, not to large, cemeteries, bat in the family burial grounds. Aa China ia thickly tobabited, the result ia that ax toioeator’s bones may be found resting beneath every few rods of turf. Hence a novel cause of trouble to a tele graph company in that country. The company erected poles on which to hang tha wfrua. Tha poles and wins cast necessarily more or tom of a shadow.

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 ?” ♦a- i* Indeed, we do mean it, and wo will abide by what we aey,” aaid tbe com mittee. “ Then,” arid tha parson, brightening op.
