In London, July 15th, the three little daughters of the Prince ami Princess of Wales came near being killed by runaway horses. If there were nothing else worthy the ad miration of observers in the couduct of the heirs Ij the British throne (in poiut of fact there is- a very great deal to be admired) their manner of rearing their children would awaken approbation from every parent. The boy8 are sen t oft* on a cruise around the globe, and it is understood that no favors are shown them above other luds of equal naval rank on ship board, whatever festivities are creat ed in their honor at the dilfereut ports where they land. As to the little girls,'if I were asked to name those who, being the child reu of a lady, are uniformly most plainly dressed ami who conduct themselves most modestly, of all such in Eng land, 1 shoulu say at once ''the little PrincesSca of Wales." 1 have seen them at the opera, with their parents, when, on one occasion, the little one getting sleepy, her mot her took her up on her lap and let her sleep there on her knees all the evening. I have seen them at charitable ceremonies which were attended by much pomp aud circumstance. 1 have seen them riding, driving, walking, boating, ami on none of these occasions, I venture to say, did the wearing ap parel of each one of the little girls exceed in cost a ten-dollar bill; A simple white muslin frock, uudeco ratcd by any lace, unrelieved by any silk slip or expensive sash, formed the opera costume; the winter aud boating dresses are of serge, the sum mer dresses of washing prints. And all are made in the simplest style?no go Herings, puckcriugs ilouucings; no bias bands, no khife - pica tings. No feathers iu the hat; no furbelows any where. Would that the "Mrs. Lof ties" of America, those vulgar and tasteless creatures who at the ?re sent time at the watering places all over the country are making the bodies of their children a mere means of parading their power to spend money, and who are ruining the mor al health of their offspring by incul cating in these impressionable 3 ouhg breasts a mad passion for personal adornment?would that these sill\ and reprehensible mothers, I say, could be here to see the pattern set in this matter by the Princess of Wales. The example is followed, as all examples are when coming from the fountain head of social eminence, and the result is scon in the admir able dressing of young English peo ple, universally extolled in every community of taste. Every one re joices to hear that the little Prin cesses came to no harm yesterday in the runaway. Their carriage was badly shattered, and a new wheel had to be fitted to it in the open street be fore it could be rolled on to the coach house. The little girls, with their governess, were safely lifted out, and accompanied by a gentleman of standing at court, who happened to be passing, they made their way on foot to Marlborough House. ? . -. <?????

Hi '"Darn It,' They had a terrible time at a wed ding up at Petaluma the other day, and which only goes to show how the smallest drawback will take the stiff ness out of the swellest occasion. It >eema-that the ceremony was a very grand affair indeed. There were eight bridesmaids, and the church was crowded from pit to dome as the dramatic critics would say. But when they got to the proper place in the cerenu^ey, aud the groom began fooling ed that mini able w tected th through a for the ring, discover i't on hand. After the .cowled at the miser a while, the latter do agic circlet hud slipped hole in his pocket and worked into his boot. He com in u id ea ted the terrible fact in a whisper to tint bride, who turned deathly pale, a ml w.?m ?mly kept from faint iug by the rellccliun that they would inevitably cut I he *A rings of her satiu corRfllo in ca -e sh.- did. 'Why don't you produce the ring? whispered the bride's big brother, hoarsely, and fooling for his pistol, under tlx' impression that the miser ablo than was about to back out. 'i can't, it's in my boot,1 explained the groom uader his breath, his very hair mean while turning red with mortification. 'Try and fish it on!, somehow? hurry up!1 murmured the preacher, behind bis book 'I'll try,'gasp.mJ the victim, who was very stunt; and he.put one foot 0:1 the chancel rail, pulled up his trousers leg anil began making spas modic jabs for the ring with his fore finger. The minister motioned to the organist to squeeze out a few notes to till in the time, while a ru mor went rapidly through the con gregation to I he eilecl that a tele gram had just arrived proving the groom had four other wives living in tin? Kast already. ?I ? 1 can't reaeli it!' groaned the half married man, in agony. 'It, won't com?'.1 Sit i'bwii and take your bool off, you fool!' bisse i the bride's mother, while the bride herself moaned pite o it sly und wrung her hands, There was nothing left; so the sufferer sat down on the floor and be gan to wrestle with his boot, which was naturally new a.id tight, while a fresh ru minor got under way that the groom was beastly fight. As the boot came finally off, its crushed wearer endeavored', unsuc cessfully, to Inden ".ende dollar'hole in the heel of his stocking; noticing which the parson who was a humor ous sort of sky-contractor, said grimly: ?You seem to be getting married justjjy time, my young friend.' the ceremony proceeded with rty ofthe lirst part standing log, trying Id hide his well ted foot under the tail of his nnd appropriately muttering, it!' at short intervals.?San o Pust.

The following extract is taken from the address of P;csidctit Miles before the young ladies of Yorkville Female College: "While we are warned against n Pharastiical parade of otir observance of religious duties, yet arc we bid to ulet our light"?the radiance of the Christian's life?"so shine before men that they ma}' see our good works." And I hope I am not trenching on theological ground, in my lay ser mon, if I would inculcate that broad and catholic spirit of religious faith which would include in one. great Chi ist ian family all the true child ren and followers of ('brist. Might we not. paraphrase the familiar dis tich of Pope and say ? "For forms of faith let bigots then contest; That which best rules the heart and life is best." Let inc. once more, in conclusion, commend to your attention (luring all your training and preparation for the duties of life, that description of a went a u "nobly planned" which I have already quoted from one of the greatest, as he is one of the purest and most thoughtful of English poets, ft has really been the text which 1 have endeavored to expound and expand in my enforcement of the importance of not neglecting the cultivation of the strictly domestic arts and accomplishments, and lay ing the greatest stress upon the "edu cation of the heart" iu the ways of true religion. While sedulously striving then to develop to their fullest extent your God-given intellectual faculties, ami lo store up in your minds the accu mulated knowledge of the genera tions of man, let me beg each one of you also to remember, that a woman "nobly planned," lit to be a true "help meet" to man and trainer of children for the Kingdom of Heaven, ought to be "A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily lood; * Ami yet a spirit still, and bright V till something of an angel light.*' When Men Are at Their BcHt. Dr. Heard states that from an analysis of the lives of a thousand representative men in all the great branches of tin? human family he made: the discovery that tin; golden decade was between forty ami fifty; the l.ra/.cn between twenty and thirty; the iron between fifty and sixty. The superiority of youth and middle life over old age in origi nal work appears all '.be greater when we consider the fact that all the posi tions of honor and prestige?pro fessorships and public stations?are in the hands of flic old. Reputation, like money and position, is mainly confined to the old. Men are not widely known until long after they have done the work that gave them their fame. Portraits of' great men are delusions; statues arc false! They are taken when men have become famous, which, oh the average, is at least twenty-live years after they did the work which gave them their fame. Original work requires en thusiasm. If all the work done by men under forty-live was annihilated, they won hi be reduced to barbarism. Men arc at their best tit that time when enthusiasm and experience are almost evenly balanced. This period, on the average, is from thirty-eight to forty. After this the law is that experience increases, but enthusiasm decreases. Of course there arc ex ceptions.?Christ fan Intelligencer. Agricultural Education. Professor Scott, who has recently been appointed to the chair of Agri culture jit Cirencester College, Eng land, remarked at the opening of the session "that it was a sad blot on the intelligence of the nge that probably ninety-nine per cent, of our farmers came into their profcKsiou in life without having ever received the slightest training, cither scicutiflc or technical, with special reference to their needs and rcquiremen'fe.' The old Roman agriculturist, Columelln, said something of the same sort more than eight hundred years ago, and still we have to complaiu of the neg lect of the proper training of youug men to enable them to become suc cessful farmers. It is not quite bo bad now as in the. days of ancient Rome, hut we have still far too many agriculturists who think more of watching the different phases of the moon than of studying the chemistry of the soil. It is better to he the builder of our own name than to be indebted by de hceut for 'be proudest gifts known to the bock.- of heraldry. Expeziftite Drags. A Milwaukee bald-headed man told a doctor that his iiair was falling out, and asked him if he didn't know of something that would stop it. The doctor said he would fix him, so he wrote a prescription, which was as IoIIowh: Chloride of sodium-1 oz. Aqua purn --3 oz. Shake well and rub on the scalp every morning. The bald mnu went to a druggist aud had the prescription put up, pay ing $1.00 for it. He asked the drug gist it it wasn't a little high,.but .'felt ashamed when the druggist asked biih if he knew how much aqua ptfra cost a gallon. He said he didn't, but supposed it come high. The drug gist told him that aqua puia was one of the most penetrating drugs in the store, and as for chloride of sodium, there was nothing like it, and the war in Peru had sent it up kiting. The bald man used the medicine, and felt as though it was doing him good. His wife noticed little, new hairs coming out, and he felt good; so when the stuff was gone lie took the bottle to the store and had it -fill ed again. The chap who filled it thin time was another chap, and when the bald headed man threw down a dol lar the druggist said: "O, neter mind. We won't charge you any thing for that." The bald man ask ed how that was, when the druggist said; "Why, it is only salt and water, anyway. The salt is only 2 cents a pound, and the water is pretty cheap this year.'] The bald man gave one gasp, and said: "Well h}'the great bald-headed Elijah, I paid $1 for fill ing that bottle before, and I want my money back. It is a bald headed swindle. I thought that Peruvian story didn't look plausible." The druggist gave the man a box of ci gars to keep still about it, but ho won't speak to the other druggist who charged him a dollar.?l*cih't Hun. High salaries for public officials are advocated on the ground that they will place the oJHcial beyond temptation. This however does not follow. High salaries encourage extravagance, venality and dissipa tion. Habits grow with what the}' are fed on. The man who serves his country out of patriotism for a ica sqnable salary can always be trusted, while the man who only serves hia country out of avarice for a high sal ary can never be trusted.??*x. ?
