Xew Orleans Timcs-Democratl This is a restless season. The tumult and tir in tho heart and pulses of nature; the quickening cf tho circulation in treo and plant stira a sympathetic pulsation in human beings, and wa want to ba out of doors, prodding and tcratchin?: about in the ground, and sunning ourselves. Boys and girls like, about these day?, a little squire cf ground to dig, to low und plant in; and with sun-bonnet", broad bat and stout shoe?, I do not see why they may net h&78 it. Unless, indeed, you are city children, whoso grass grows up between the chinks of the pavement or on the not to-be-troidea limits of the park, whcöe trace are in avenues along the sidewalks, and whoea birds sing and mate in gildel eager. . Even you may have a window garden, and plant seds and flowers in pots and boxea. 1 have known country and village children who every spring had their vegstabla or flower garden. "Irery child who has gardening tools Should learn by heart these gardening rules; He who owns a girdeaing upsde Should be able to dig the depths of its blade; He who owns a gardening rake Should know what to leave and what to take; Lie who owns a gardening hoe Must be sure how he means bis strokes to go; But he who owns a gardening fork May make it do all the other tools' work: Though to shift, or to pot, or annex what you cm, A trowel's the tool for child, woman, or man." To dull ee3 and min-is the wonders of crea'.ion are net revealed. Bat even little children may see and cornpi ehend God in Ilia works. The poet Tennyson "Flower in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies: II"ld you here, root and all. In ray hand. Lit lie flower; but if I could understand W hat you are, root and all, and all in all, 1 thould know what God and man is." The commonest flowering plant is a won. derful study. First there is the seed, no larger perhaps than a grain of sand, yet folded in it is the germ of a perfect plant, root, stem, leaves and flowers. "When it falls into the earth, it remains for a time insensible, then the warmth of the sunbeams penetrates to where it lies; the tiny germ grows warm and hungry; it eats the inside all out of its eeed shell just as a baby wa?p eats up all the spiders its mother stores away for it and grows strong enough to break through the stell and come out. Tiny rootlets strike down, and a litttio shoot poshes up and up, and at last cornea quite through the soil and meets the sunbeams face to face. The stem grows up perhaps ends out other stems. Leaves and flowers appear on it, and then eeed from which grow other plants of the sama kind. David Livingstone. ( I Rev. Edward A. Bind, in Golden Days. I All honor to the boy who is not ashamed to work with his own hands, and that credit belongs to David Livingstone, afterwards famous as the missionary traveler. Born in March, 1313, at Blantyre, Scotland, David did not come into the world with a silver spoon in his mouth, but an iron one, that was probably dippel into oatmeal as often as any other food. His parents were poor, but they gave him a good example, which is more of a gift than tome people receive. The Livingstone children were taught tabe honest, industrious and God-fearing. A story told them was this, that one of their ancestors ou his dying-bed called his ions about him and said: 'Now, in my lifetime, I have searched most carefully through all the traditions I could find of our family, and I never could discover that there was a dishonest man among our forefathers. If, therefore, any of you, or of your children should take to du nonest wars, it will not be because it runs in oar blood; it does not belong to too. I leave this precept with you: Ba tonest," David was a lively lad, relishing fun, but relishing his books also. "When nine years old he repeated the one hundred and nine teenth psalm on two successive nights, and though that was a long hill to climb, his memory stumbled only five times. We can see where he may have acquired St love for adventure. "When the stars in the winter sky flashed like bits cf steel, a warm Are was glowing on the hearth-stone of David's home. Seated before the Are, his grandfather would tell the young folks old Scottish stories of the brave "Wallace, the resolute Bruce and other heroes. The stars without might look more icy, the winter winds roar louder, but within was that eagerly-listening group, white in the shadows, that the fire sent dancing across the wall, fancy might detect the form of "Black Douglas" and his warriors moving oat to the fight. Grandmother Livingston would sometimes ti3g old Ilihland ballads. The boy's imagination most have been stirred by these fireside sonjs and stories, and a love of adventure may have been stimulated. It did not seem then as If this craring would ever be satisfied, for at the age of ten, he went to work in a cotton mill as a "piecer." His first week's work brought hi si sixty cents, and his mother permitted him to retain enough to buy a Latin gram mar ten cents a dayl Poor picking on that bone! Doubtless David was happy, for the bone brought him a Ltin grammar, from eight till ton he was at work, in an even in z school, on his Latin. "The dictionary part of my labors was followed up till 12 o'clock or later, if my mother did not interfere by jumping up and snatching the bocks out of my hands. I had to be back in the factory by six in the morninir, and continue my work, with in tervals for brcakfat and dinner, till eight o'clock at night. I read in this way many of the classical authors, and knew Tirgil and Uoraca better tt sixteen than I do now." This was David's teitimony. His father"

XM ft conscientious man, and thought that

)ia mnt nrove his love for his boy by warn

ing him against icienuac www uw,a of travel, which David says were his "spe cial delight, but, his lather ie&rea, were inimical to religion," and he wanted to see David ''pouring over the 'Cloud of "Wit-r-es es,' or 'Boston's Fourfold State.' " Finally the anxious father took the stick to David, because ho would not read "Wilberforce's Practical Christianity." That was using the rod of war to make the religion of peace acceptable. ßat David's father was conscientious in all this. He had a notion that science was irreligious, but true science only brings men to their Maker. "When a holiday cama to David, he was off hunting up specimens of the stones and plants, and making investigations also in zoology. David the piecor, at the ae of nineteen, was promoted to be David the spinner describing himeelf as a "slim, loose-jointed lad." From tix in tae morning till c?gnt a night, he tended a spinning-fram e in the cotton-milL He re:eived better pay, and he also found that he could get a chance to read in working hours. Iiis methei was to secure his book to the spinning-frame, and then catch the sentences as best he could. A spine ing-frame in a eotton-mill would not then run itself as now, so that David's attention to his book was interrupted, but he could snatch a short extract, and turn it over in his mind till the opportunity came for another loc k. It was a hard way to pick up knowledge, and yet the experience, was helpful. He was known to 6ay that if he had to bejin life again, he should like to begin '-it the tame lowly style, and to piss through the lime hard training." One book may mako a marked corner in our thinking, and the cotton-spinner turned such a' corner m ttio reading of Doctor Dice's "Philosophy of a Future State." When he wa3 twenty-one, David was stirred by an appeal for missionary workers in China, and he resolved to give himelf to the work of preparation for mission service. In Glasgow, poor and ncjdy, but resolute and plucky, tho young man pushol his preparatory ttudies. in en ne went to live wua me itev. j.icnard Cecil, at On gar, where miseionary stu dents were sent to tho London Missionary Society to stand, if they could, a three months' trial, and if euccessiui, tney went on u another grade of studies. It will interest all who aro trying to push forward to know that Livingstone was not ranked here as a succeis. He attempted to preach. He was very successful in giving out the text, but but he could give nothing else. IIo miserably ttuck just there. He exclaimed: "Friends, I have lorgotten all I have to say." Out of the pulpit and out of the chapl ha went. Livingstone was julged, at the close of the three month?, to be a filur. Somebody, though, in p:wr, wanted to give him'another chance. He tried azain, and was accepted. In the winter o: 1810 ha sailed for Alrica. With Livingstone woat, as a paengor in the same vessel, the old, resolute, tclf-d?ny-ing, self sacrificing will. L'k a romance reads the story of his missionary travels, opening up new river and lake regions, making discoveries that have put a crown of laurel about his brow. One of the great men of this century, the body that his loyal servants carried month after month through Africa to the sea, was laid down to its honored rest in Westminster Abbey in 1874. Like stars to light the way of every struggling boy, are Livingstone's words: "Fear God and work hard," ta be willing also, "to go anywhere, provided it be forward."

IlenryClay Quoting Shakspere. IBcn Pcrley Poore, in the April Century. Henry Clay, who left a seat in the Senate for one in tho House, but after many years service at the other end of the capitöl re turned to the Senate Chamber, exercised a powerful control over the politics of the ropublic Idolirod by the Whig party, his wonderful powers of personal magnetiem. and his rich, manly voice would enable him to hold an audience fjr hours. He made but little preparation, and used but few notes in speaking; but when ho wrota out his remarks for the prcfs, his manuscript wta lemarkably nea, without interlinea tions, or biota. He seldom indulged in classical allusions, and his occasional attempts to make quotations cf English pootry were generally failures. Un cno occa? ion he used the well known phrase from Hamlet, "Let the gilled jade wince, our withers are unwrung," but misquoted the last syllable, calling it "unstrung." Tho gent'.emea wh sat on either eide of him noticed the error, ai d simultaneously whispered 'unwrung." This double prompting eonfu.ed "Young Harry of thetYett," who straightened himself, and with stronger emphasis repeated ''unhung." This raised a general laugh, at the close of which Clay, who had meanwhile atcertained his mistake. shook his head, and said with one of his inimitable smiles: MAhi murder will cut! Unwrunc's the word.'' The fascination which he exercised over all with whom ho had personal intorcourso even hU political adversaries was remarkable; but he was i ru per and cojiineenng, exacting un con J j onV and unqualified support of his iend4.jp An English clergyman preached a eer raon lately from the text, God .forbid that I should glory savo in the cross cfour Lord Jesus Christ," and defended the use of the crucifix as an. aid to devotion.

TUE TALUE OF HEM ÜBT.

A Board of Trade Man's Experience Be lated In the Chicago Tribune. Mesrrs. Editors: When the subscriber was a youns; man the place where Chicago now stands was al most emphatically, as the Western orator once said, "a howling wilderness." I can remember well how rapidly it has grown. I have seen it as a village, es a city and as a metropolitan center. One notes many things in a life of three score and fifteen, but cbthirg more impresses him than the growth cf cities on this continent. I have been identi fied with this great city. I hare here lived and done business for many years, and as one of the oldest inhabitants, and possibly one of the best known, I hope to claim more attention for what I am now about to relate. Fifty years ago, when a young man, I felt that I was destined to a long life, and, I hoped, usefulness. 1 had not inherited a very vigorous constitution Irom my ancestors, but I expected to grow stronirer as I grew older. My health was, however, less and less promising as the years came on. My stomach at ürst gave me a great deal of trouble, but I paid little attention to it, thinking it unmanly to be sick. Nevertheless I was often prostrated with severe illness. I bad freqrfent sick headaches.ru y body seemed full of strange rheumatic disorders. Of course I consulted physician after physician, not letting my friends know of it, because I was too proud to admit I was getting old and feeble, but they never seemed to d j me any permanent good. Th-?y encouraged me to take frequent vacations, to lighten my work as much as possible, to regulate my diet and not allow my mind to be too much engrossed with my business. This advice did not please me. I saw no good reason why I could not transact business like any other' man, and I did not propose to be Mulled out of commercial life in this fashion. 1 was a rery foolish man, 'as I can now very readily Bee. 1 ought to have husbanded my Strength, and nursed my waning ener gies. But I bad no confidence in what my doctors told nie, for it did not teem to me that they understood my case. When they were treating me for etcmach derangements I noticed that among the symptoms I had were an irritated, hot, dry skin; an alternately ravenous and feeble appetite. In the morning my mouth was coated and tasted bad; I was unable to do any physical work without quick fatigue; my head acned frequently, my sleep was disturbed; ray memory became impaired ; I had freqaent attacks of chills and fever; my bowels were much constipated; I bad ccld, nervous tensations all over my body, and my breathing was at times very difficult. Now, I did not believe that a disordered stomach could produce all these things, and hence derided tie treatment of the physicians. Ten years ago, however, I got really ar.d thoroughly alarmed. My eyes began to puff out; my legs and ankles were so swollen I could scarcely walk; rny flesh disappeared: my strength almost If tt me; my heart pained me 60 severely I could frlcep only in one position; my water scalded like fire and was tilled with brick dust and mucus matter. And yet some days I felt f plendidly, and did my office work without much difficulty. Indeed, after a few weeks I thought I had got rid of my mysterious disorder forever. I seemed unaccountably welL What a delusion the sequel will show. On one of these days, as I waa wending my way along to the Board of Trade Rooms, I became deathly sick. My head whirled, ray senses left me. and I fell as one dead. 1 wus conveyed home and suffered for weeks. And. indeed, I was in a desperate condition. I had what they call casts and albumen in my fluids, which indicated extreme disorder. I lost forty pounds of 11 eeh in a few weeks, my legs were as large as an elephant's and were covered with sorep, my heart felt us If punctured with needles, I was full of rheumatism, my face was bloodless; indeed, I could not have suffered worse if every orgsn in my body had been torn out of me. When in this desperate condition my friends told me that the physicians said i had a disease for which there was no cute. iO cure!" I exclaimed, "I know better, I know better." I did not know at the time why I should have so protested, but. bad as my memory was, there seemed to be in my mind a dim Idea that 1 bad heard of authentic cures of that malady when phyr icians and friends bed given the iatient up. and firmly impressed with this i&er I sent word to my druggist, dejcnbed ny case, and asked him to send me a bottle of that famous remedy whose name 1 could not recall. He sent me half a dczen different kinds, most of them being worthless imita tions, but among the number I found the right one. I began its use, took it according to directions, and I am happy to say it saved me from death by Blight's disease and restored me to perfect health. This wonderful remedy was Warner s Kale Kidney and Liver Cure. I am enthusiastic over this medicine, as all my friends can testify, and whv should I not be? It saved my life. and I feel as well as ever I did in my best days. I had heard much about this remarkable remedy, but never suspec'ing I bad any kidney disease I bad not paid much attention to it, but I remembered hearing a friend tell of some of its wonderful cures. and to that fac und the extraordinary power or the remedy, I owe my life. You will do me a very gieat favor, Mr. Editor, if you will public h my statement to the world, as I am satisfied now that there are thousands of persons all over this coun try sufferirg as 1 did Irom that terrible duorder without the remotest biupicion of what really ails them. They are, perbaps, neglecting every warning as I did (for I now we how all my urferiDgt were caused by kidney poboned blood), ai.i suffering years of needless misery, wherees by prompt at tention to the manifest Indications of snv such disorder they may save their life es I have saved mine. J. S. Johspon, (Et-aiembtrChicsgoBoaid of Trade), 3,403 abash avenue. Women and Men at llome. The husband goes away from home in the morning, not returning until evening. I take an average case. All day long he is mere or Jess worried by business. It js te ho is to supply tho wood that lb pot may boil. When ho reaches home toward night fall it U a id ven of ie3t he seeks, if he is met by confusion, a delay in dinner, and at last invited to a meal of dishes hastily, carelessly and badly prepared, the table slvvanly arranged, half the things which are required not there, ne essitating a sending of the servant from the room for this, tbat and the otber, he would have to have the temper of an angel to bear it all patiently. The wife left at home has many and annoying demands made upon her. Servants are stupid, disobedient and impertinent, and what she orders to be done is as often neglected as attended to. She has her own affairs which may not and should not bo set aside. But with all this I insist that a most important duty, far more important than that tho dressmaker hired by the day does not lag over her work, that the girl gets through with the washing, or that that other room" is ''hcu.e-cleaned," is that the dinner bell rincs on the stroke of the clock. Th3 husband should no more be amoyed with the little worrits of the household than he should nil up the eveniegs in tho family circle by relating in detail the thousand and one pests of his business which, all combined, have sent him home with his head in a whirl. Around the dinner table the family should gather in their very best spirits. A dinner behind time plays the old boy with good nature, and the man of the house is not the only one who is "mad." The wife is ia, ill-humor, for she knows in her heart that sho is to blame, and over every one hangs a petulant gloom.

There are disagreeable things which must

be said, but the dinner table is not the place to say them. I tell you, friends, the behindtime dinner has much to answer, for, and I view with real alarm these excuses of women for women, who throw their husbands' dinners on the table at any time and anyhow. It is all very well to be satirical and to say that woman has higher aims than to boil potatoes and peel onions, but you are sapping the foundations of hemo juit the same. Ihe accomplished woman who sees to her husband's dinner loees net a jot of ner grace or intelligence. Women as Private Secretaries. A writer in Harpers' Bazar says that women skilled in type-writing or phonography, or both, aro in demand as confi dential clerks and .secretaries, and thtt business men regard their services in these positions as more valuable than these of young men. In matters of punctuality, regularity, endurance and efficieLcy experience has shown that they are equal to men, they are more teachablo and willicg to please, and last but not least, "for reasors which everybody recognizes, but which perhaps wilnot hell good forever, they are not regarded by business men as pcsiible rivaie." Tit writer continues: The average salary of euch a secretary is five hundred dollars a year. Sometimes a thousand dol lars is earned. The use of tie typo-writer can he learn od in a week, and after a practice of three t r lour woeks a clever girl can write faster than a penman. Persons who can play cn : r - , . -- vuo pianc-iine oecomo prouciem in a shorter time. In any case it is comparatively easily to become a first-class operator. An hour, or two hours, a day is as much as any young woman ought to practice when beginning. To become a first-class phonographer or snort-cand wruer is much moro diüicult, One can go through a manual of phonogra phy in a month by working four or five hours a aav, and can become an expert in perhaps Eix contis. Proüriency here is a matter ot resolute perseverance, of persistent attention, of memory, and cf eelf-oonfidence. Tho ycung woman who begins at tho age cf twelve or ten years ia likely to succeed the socnet. The best private secretary is ono who can write short-hand and can operate a type' writer. She is able to take down answeis to letters, and then to make copies on the ivpe-wruer xrorn nor pnocograpnic notes. xae lawyer, mercnant, or ctnr Dusme's man sits in his office in tho morning, opens his mail, and as he reals a letter dictates to his secretary the answer t-j it. The ycung woman who can write short hand an i" operate a type-writer is in demand to-day, and she caa reasonably expect to earn from seven hundred to nine hundred dollars a year, if, of course, she has had a good commonechool education. A knowledge of French and German is likely to increase tho pay. The . proprietor of a business college says that he could tt onc3 find invitirg places for fifteen such eecrptaries if ho knew where such secretaries were to be found. The business of a firm of solicitors for patents has so increased since the advent of the type-writer (their days seem to have becomo longer, because so much more work can be done in a day) that they are training in their ofGce two or three young women to become operators on it, who meanwhile make themselves generally useful, and receive for their services vo or tea dollars a month. After a year so spent these pupils will earn forty dollars a month. Young men, if app'yicg at thi3 oCieo for similar positiccs, would bo told frankly that experience had led tho firm to prefer the services of tho gentler sex. Tig Leaves. Oriental lace is tho favorite this Benson among laces of moderate price. Next to lace, velvet ribbon is tho trimming of the day, and is used ia the greatest profusion as fringes, ia parallel rows, and in bows. Shoes without heels aro worn by small girls find boys, and it is the sensible as well as fashionable custom to use only the low English heels for large girts and misses. There ij luckily not so much cutting up of costly materials into ridiculous and useless-looking figures called fans, leaves and everything else minute and ungracsful, as formerly. In hosiery the new cream, fine Balbrigg&n and Lisle thread, as delicate and almost as costly as silk, are to become fashionable for wearing with all colored shoes and light dresses. Ladies who venture to adopt plaidod costumes avoid the corsage made of the varicolored material, and join to tho plaided skirts a Jersey bodice of a monochrome color matching exactly one of the shades of the plaid. Combination costumes continue to be the be'ght of fashion, and but fow of the new dresses, excepting tailor made suits of cloth, are of one material. Lven where the color is monotone, wool and silk, silk and satin, or velvet in the same shade are combin ed. Pinkad ruches are much worn, and are both scant and fall, closely quilled, or put on in Ws up and down tho edge of the ga ment, to which they form a border, making a sort of hell trimming. Seme of the closely qaiUoi ruches of shot silk sug9:t a full wreath of fljwers. It ii quit tho fashion for ladies who have a fancy for doing their own dress making to (ro to a fashionable dress-maker, cr, better still, to an "artist" who underi&kes the construction of "Uilsr mode' dresses, and have what is termed a "permanent pattern" i. ., a bodloa of thick linen cut to the exact measurement of the torm asd fitted perfectly This bodico is then all taken apart, rea3y to serve as a pattern for all future corsage?. Transparent muslins are shown with strawberries, raspberries, laurel, and arbutus blossom?, carnations, sweet-brier roses, and mots-buds in groups scattered . on a colored ground. Usually this background is of a palo tint, a very delicate tea rose or primrose yellow being a favorite color; but tbceo bright-hued fruits and flowers l:ok very well against backgrounds of dark olive or brown. At children's parties the display cf beet quality satin and real laca is something wonderful. Hothers who do all this do not think of what bitterness it may lead to. Extravaganco is a disease; the child takes it, suffers all her lifo, and often drives a young husband to distraction because he can not keep up the shimmer of silk and froth of lace with which ehe was inoculated wjen she was young. Some of the new patterns in straw lace bonnets are almost as intricate and delicate as Guipure laci designs. These bonnets are light, airy, and very attractive. Their garnitures are correspondingly light and ethereal. Srft tinted silk mulls and gauzes are us od, as well as wreaths of fine flowers mineled with delicate vines. A pretty littlo French bonnet in the "Olivia" shape, of pale cream-colored straw lace, exhibited this week, is linid with pinkish mauve faille, and trimme 1 outside with a wreath of heliotrope blossoms and a cluster of crushed roses set at the left side. The last row of lace at the edge of the brim is studded with tiny mock pearl and heliotrope beads, and the

scarf strirgs, of cream-colored lace, are dotted with the same bead work, giving a rich effect to the appearance of the bonnet. . Sfaisy of tho rich. dark-hud prinjr. woollens in monochrome are sold with bordering. Trench cashmeres especially are very handsome, with deep bands of tbe same embroidered in silk in Grecian, Swie. floral, or Ken&is'anco Cesigns, either raited orcpeawork. Those, and other fabrics of the same kind, have sometimes pattern bordering of Bilk interwoven with the material, giving the effect of lace or embroidery. Tfci deroieoaon dresses of wool this spring are decidedly quiet in style, tailor-mde costumes baicg so much in the ascon'ier.t. Small girls wear their hair with the Vandyck freut and flowing bacs: h&ir very slightly crimped; for this the hair is parted across tbe crown, and all that part combed forward is cut short in a way very wholesome for GTOw-nu h.:r, and fl! ia a straight basg. No ribbons are ned. If curia are worn, they are Arranged in five "very lone; thick trcssc?. Hisses vesr their lack hair in a small knot low behind, and their frcnt hair is cropped short and mde in rings all over tho top of the head. Tno forehead is much leca covered th&n it has b?en lately. About two years ono native Chicasaan in tho vil.sge of Kokl, China, wes tbe solitary follower of the Christian Telijrion among: the dwellers in that place. Through his influence and that of the ministers a neat li'.tle chapel has been built, which now hs3 thirty church memb'-ra and over fifty regular attendants on worship. The' native Christians havo contributed twothirds of what the buildicg cct. They now carry on thoir Sunday terviccs themselves aüd provide for the fcipr-Fc. A youn? $ irl m Philadelphia, who for three years has been a patient enflere-r with sore throat, has been elfectually cured by using Dr. Ball's Coah Svrur. Tbe Sea of Oblivion would long since have swallowed up Sozodont in common with so many forgotten tooth pastes and dentrifiVes, and did not the experience of a whole Naticn prove that it poisesses signal advantepes. It thoroughly clesn3 tbe teeth, dissolving and n moving their impurities; it revives their fading whiteness and strergtbsns their relaxing hold open their sockets; it renders colorless, ulcerated gums hard and healthy; and besides neutralizing an unsavory breath, invests it with its own fragrance.
