Yer say yer'd like to bear iomothin 'bout my "iperience in ther diggin 'a, boys? D".d I ever toll yer that story 'bout llich Jim, of Bottom Card, an' hi racket with Curly Jake? No? Wall, I'll tell yer that story. Ter see his real name was Richard Jamos but the first man re struck in ther mines shortened dd their tail end o hia name from James ter Jim, an chopped off piece o his front name and called him Rich a Jim. "Wall, yer see, some one had struck it rich at Bottom Card a few monthi afora an' all o us old pilgrim an' er good i prinklia' o ten derfoots, hei nuhed in thar an staked cur laims, an' things war goin on kirdar flour Wimmin o ther right stripe war a mighty skeerce article in them diggin's, an' yer kin jedg-3 how we war all tore up one evenin as ther staee drawed up at ther shanty called "Top Card, an' a leetlo coin -with leetle curly-ha'red younkor, 'bout three or four years old, clumb out an' went inter ther hotel. I walked inter ther barroom after supper, an' Dx Means, ther boss of ther place, war st&ndin' 'mong a lot o the boys at ther end o' ther bar, an, as I come up, he war savin': I tell yer boys, I war most devilish sorry fur ther leetle womia, when I told her I'd never heerd o' any one in these parts by that name. She said they'd all lived with her mother in ther East some whar, an' tber old woman an' her man hed bed er fallin' out somehow 'bout three years ergo when her kid war G mcnths old, an' as she wouldn't leave ther old lady, he d Mt her. bhe heerd som way or 'notber that he war out here at Bottom Card, an aa her old mother kicked ther bucket a few months ago, she couldn't reit till she come out here ter hont ther old man up. She kinder broke down an' ther water comes ter her eves when the found I couldn't put her on ther trail o1 her man, an it kinder broke me up, too. Yer kin take cc6 iur a etrbg-halted tender foot, boys, ef I wouldn't ants up my pile fur a littH womin an' a kid like them ar Icalkerlate she ain't got any too mucho' ther dut, either, an' 1 b'lievea it'd be ther fa aar' thine ef we was ter raue a leetle mone ther boys ter help her 'long." K'rcct; now yer talkin' sense," a feller by ther cameo' Curly .Take chipped in. Be war one o' ther roughest men in ther camp, but he hed er heart in im bigger n an ox. an' takin' off hia hat .he dropnad in a $20 gold piece. "I'll set thet, an' go one better, says Due Means as ho tossed in a coup.o o twentier. UI can't quite see yer boys, bat here goes ther only bird I've got left," says Poker Jim, as he chucked in a shining eagle. Curly Jake passed 'round the room an ther boys thro wed in purty lib'ral 'till he come ter a man who was aettin' with his head restin' on his hands at a table right side ther open doer. thet led inter ther hau which communicated with ther dinin'-iocm. Curly slapped him on ther back in a kinder friendly, joky way, an' says: "Rich Jim, we wants j er ter help us out on er purse we're raisin'fur 'er womin thet s in need. Kich Jim looked up sullen like, an' cays awful short an' gruff: "I ain't got any thin' ter give. ' "But this here's er lady," says Curly kincer msistia like. "Oh, git out, an' don't bother me," Rich Jim answers quick like, an' savage as ther mischief. Curlj's eyes flashed mighty wicked, as draw in' hitself up an' thro win, all ther scorn an' contempt he could inter his voice, he says: "Kr man thet s struck it as rich as yer hev lately, an' then'll refuse tor put up er leetle dust er help er womin . thets in dietress, ain't (;ct er heart in 'im as big as er muBkft'.er. "What's thet yer say," says Rich Jim, spricgin' ter his ffot with a hull string o' cufs words, an' him an' Curly begin drawin thar thootin' irons. JUt then war hearn ther patter oleetle feet cn the floor o' ther ball leadin' ter ther bar room, an' a womin's voice eayin': "Come my darhn ' yer uust not co in thar," an ther nf it instant, with a scream o'childish joy an' mischief, a leetlo chubby faced, curly fia'red boy run inter ther room, an' rushin' ter wfcar Rich Jim war standin' throwed hia arms 'round bis legs an' laughin' like it war lots o' fun ter git away from his mother, he hid his face ergin Jim'a knees. I tell yer boys ef an' angel hed come iquar down frein he'vin U3 fehers thar in ther bar room couldn't er been more took back than we war at ther sight o that latle codger. It'd a done ytr hearts good boys ter have seen him and hearn him talk. Rich Jim be ji6t laid his shuotin iron cn ther taote without glaictn' at Carly, an his face war as gentle as a womin's as, stoopin' down) ho laid his big rough hand soft like on ther curly ha'r o' ther leetle feller, an says in a kinder tremblin' voice: ''What does er want, my leetle man." Ther younker looked up inter his face.an' seein' it war kinder sof'ened up, his leetle heart seemed ter go right out ter him, an' he answers brave as yer please: "I wants my paper. Manier said my paper war here." Who is yer paper?" says Rich Jim, beadin' down an' raism' him inter his arms. "My paper's marker's paper. Is yer my mrtfir? -I rues sot my leetle feller.' la 7 1 Rich Jim, ther water comia Vex his eyes, as ef the

' Rich Jim says. "Yes, I doe, an I likes mamer too," says ther leetle chap. ''Don't yer want me ter tits yer, des like I t!s.es mamer?" Yea, ef yer will Kich Jim says in er kinder plead in' way. 44 1 lies mamer hull many lots er times, an' love her too, tree bushels; an I'll tias yer hull many lots a times, too." An' ther affecshernate leetle creetur throwed his arms tight 'round Jim's seek an' kissed him abo jt dozen times. While ha war still er kissin' Jim, a leetle womin with a sweet, sad-iooKin' xace glided inter ther room kinder skeery like, an' 1 says: Come Richy, dear; come ter mamer, now.' At ther sound o' her voice,Kich Jim turned 'round white as ther driven snow, an' jist give one look, an' then, in er voice quiver in' with feelin , an in which mere war a worm o' love an' tender pleadin', said jist ther one word, Nellie." She gin a start an a leetle scream, an' weaved back'ards an' for'ards like she war goin ter fall, an' then with ther joyful cry, 'Oh, Richard, my husban' I've found yer at last!" she darted for'ard intr hi . a . t j arms, an' cuddled ner puny leeue neaa onter his breast like she war psrfec'ly Eaters fled. Arter thar feelin's hed cooled down a bit, Rich Jim Icoks up at Curly, who whar standin' as ef rooted ter ther floor, with his shootin' iron all cocked an' ready far biz, an' holdin' out his hand, says: 'I acted ther dirty dog with yer, Carly. Won't yer put ter tbar an' call it iquar?'' "Don't say ernother word er bout it," sajs Curly Jake, lay in his poy down cn tier table side ther other one, an' taking hold o hia hacd. "It's all rquar with me. But ef yer ain't got no cbjecshuns, it'd tickle me er heap ef yer'd 'low me ter ki?s ther leetle kid once."

An Nellie, kinder meek like, raisin' her head, blushingly pressed cr kiss on Curly's rough face. As Curly drawed bisself bck. lookin' awful happy, but kinder shamed like an' colorin' all over his face, he remarks: "I'll be darned if yer ain't struck it, Rich Jim." Thet'a ther story, boys. Thar mighter been somethin' intere?tin' happened arterwards, but we lickered up so profuse-like arter tbet, in drinkm' ter tber health o lYg Kich, and Leetle Kich, an' Mrs. Rich Jim, ther procaedin's following didn't stay by me like the others did. TABLE GOSSIP. Con vers ition'st Tfcii word is to b) preferred to conversationalist. "If eyes were made for seeing. Then Beauty la its own excaw for being." Youth is tho tassel and silken flower of life; aee is the full corn, ripe and solid in the ear. Some people are like a well-used rocking chair; they are always on the go, but never get ahead. The religious faith of too many people is as mnch off color as that of the man who quoted these lines: . "Thrice u he armed who hath his quarrel just," And four times he who gt-ts his blow in fust. lhe nrst ingredient in conversation is truth; the next is gcod ecee; the third, good humor; and the fourth, wit. The "dude" is not another specie thrown to the surface bv the evolution procesi. He is the same old fool in a new drees. It you want to see now mucn stir your death will cause in the world, listen to the sizzle of a snow flake on a hot brick. Grace Greenwood, writing from Paris, sav that the average American dressmaker is jre clever than the woman of that can ing '.n France. , A ruler mutt have virtue in himself, then he may require it in others; he must be free from vice himself, then he may reprove it in others. Confucious. There la a day of sunny ret For evt-ry dark and troubled night: And grief mat bide an evening guest, But joy shall come with early hgbt. Bryant, Kind looks, kind words, kind acts and warm habdshakef these are secondary means cf grace when men are in trouble and fighting their unseen battles. John Hall. Idlenesa is the greatest prodigality, it throws away time which is invaluable in respect to its present use; and when it is put, can not be recovered by any power of art or nature. Alts! how easily things go wronz, A word too mach or a kiss too long. And there falleta a mist, and a blinding rain. And life is nerer the same again. George MacDonald. It is better to yield a little than quarrel a great deal. The habit of ''standing up," as people call it, for their little rights, is one of the most disagreeable and undignified in the world. Love is tie most dangerous emotion that can fill a mortal's heart. If true, it is the very pulse, the artery of hope and peace. But, if false, it is the ulcercus -canker of death damnation on earth and damnation beyond. This is the season when little girls jump rope all day along and live through it, and these little girls were born of mothers who caa't walk half a block without being tired to death." But little girls don't wear conets. A great deal of the religious advice given to people is like that of the old lady to her husband who had fallen into the water: Hold your breath and say the Lord's Prayer, because it's mighty onsartin what's goin' to happen." Youae ladies who have the low, broad Greek forehead adopt the severe style cf drawing the hair straight back and brushing it imocthly to the coil behind, showing the contour of the head, and omitting all shading of locks above the brow. Oil widows and lone spinsters in Peris hire a ''thief-scarer" to keep off burglars. Part of the 'tbief-ecarer" steck in trade is a stock of hats, which he hangs on the hall pees of his patrons from tima to time for a small con Bid oration. This i on the theory a man's hat looks formidable to a ine&kthief who thinks he is invading the domain of an unprotected female. The Philadelphia Times says: "The only thing left for man to do is to learn how to wear breeches. Tall, slim men, with spider legs, should wear close, but sot tightfitting garments. Fat men look best in tight pantaloons; swells wear stripe; gamblers, plaids; Quakers, quiet colors; ministers, plain black cloth; reporters glory in broaacloth, much to the disgust of the tailors. Jay Gould rich enough! Poor! Did you ncTer heir of the birds which we wed to call boW-links, before the collectors of

He would stuff to his full capacity wherever he war. He may burst. I believe he who hath not loved Uath half the sweetneas of hia life improved; Like one, who, hath the grap within hia grasp.

I believe love pure and true I to the sonl a sweet, immortal dew That gems life's petals in its hour of dusk. The waiting anpels see and recocnis? The rich crawn Jewel. Lve. of Paradise, When life falls fiom us like a withered husk. In a recent letter on the subject of Arbor

Day, Oliver Wendell Holmes savs: As you drop the seed, as vou plant the sapling.your left hand hardly knows what your right hand is doing, liut nature knows, and in due tine the Powers that see and work in secret will reward you openly. You have been warned agamet hiding your talent in a napkin; but if your talent takes the form of a maple key or an acorn, and your napkin is a shred of the apron that "covers the lap of earth,' you may hide it there, unblamed; and when you render in your account you will find that your deposit has been drawing compound interest all the time. The singular state of ideas respecting beauty of form in all modern civilized countries can hardly imply anything but retro gression in one of the senses at least. Judg ing of the opinion of the ancient Greeks as expressed in their sculpture, a modern. Ideal, weil dressed ycung lady, probably by na ture's intention as fine, or finer, than anything they ever saw, would be to them, could they revisit the earth, a subject of amaze ment! Tiny hands, whit till they look bloodless, and pointed nails; feet with no mere shape than a rpcon; but, above all, a waist like a pip, having scarcely any natural reference to the form above or below in reality, hideous I The deeply-rooted preference for this deformity must surely be a mark of retrogression. Nineteenth Cen tury. Poptry is to prose what the socalled full dreis" of the ball-room is to the plainest garment of the household and the street. It shows less clothing and more ornament. "Full drees" is that which is so full of beau ty that it caa rot hold it all, and some of its redundancy overflows the margin of its ulken cr other receptacle. The teari or diamond necklace excuses the liberal allowance of undifguised nature. Just so the poet reveals his hidden self in verse and trusts to his imagination ard the beauty of his rbvthms and rhymes to justify and com mend hi self-exposure. Why persons who can write well in prose cboceo verse is ac counted for in various ways. Many do it because thev are less wise than their neigh bors! in plain English, fool. The delight which versifiers have in tagpring rhymes to gether and the satisfaction they feel in over coming the difficulties of vertiucation are most intense. Dr. Holmes in hia paper on "imerson as a roet." AARON UUKB'S FLSTOLS. A Formidable Pair of Weapons, With On of Which Hamilton Was Killed. Louisville Oourier-Jouraal. Some weeks ago I ran serosa ierbapa the mcst fsmous and fatal firearms on this con tinent the superb duelling pistols of Aaron Burr. Tbey are a bone-breaking brace of the first caliber, and the property of Captain Brent Hopkins, of this city. Oat of theee pistols fired the ball that killed Alexander Hamilton at Weehawken. It is identified by a long, deep notch indented on the handle. The pistols were made by Mortimer of London, England, and were imported by Burr at the close of the Revolutionary War. The birrels re thirteen inches long and carry an ounci ball. They are flint-locks, and the pans for the prim. ng are lined with gold, and the touch-holes are bushed with the same metal. Tbey are hair triggers, and shoot with great force and accuracy. The locks are very superior and of exquisite mechanism. The pair came into tbe possession of Captain Brent Hopkins, the present owner, through his uncle. Captain Sam Good Hopkins of the Forty second Regiment of United Staus Dragoons, who purchased them from Bnrr, in Washington City, in the winter of 1813 or 1814, paying $500 in gold for them. Burr remarked at the time that he would not let anyone else have the pUtols, as he had used them with Hamilton. The weapons have surely a blood-stained history. They have been used with fatal effect in eleven duels. Among the sanguinary combats, Pettis, of Virginia, killed Biddle on Bloody Island, near St Louis; E-iward Towns of Virginia, killed a Frenchman near New Orleans; Captain Sam Uoode Hopkins killed a Spanish Count near Madrid, Mo.; Hngh Brent killed a man from Georgia on Diamond Island, below Henderson, Ky. They were used several times in Virginia, twice in Sooth Carolina, and more than once in Kentucky, with deadly effect. Robert Triplett, of Owensboro, (hot the old lawyer, Phil Thompson, of that city, through and through with one of them, but, strange to cay, Thompson recovered, and grew as fat aa a bear. Henry Clay and Captain Hopkins were fast friends, and tbe former was to have used the pis tola in one of his duels, but they arrived a day too late. How Steward Crump Disobeyed the Doctor. 'Washington Dispatch Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Mr. Crump, the steward at the White House, during General Garfield's Administration, and one of his most iaitbful nurse?, is now keeping a dining room in the old Club House building.on JS'ew Yorkavenue,in this city. He telis many interesting reminiscences of President Garfield's last illnese, one of which is of the day whoa the President first asked him for a glass of cold water. Crump relates that the physicians had forbidden him water, but the poor man begged so hard and so piti ul like that I had frequently to loava the room to keep from violating the dostors ordore. When he found that pleading would not serve his ends, then he assumed an autborative tone. ar.d I instantly became deaf, Tben he tried persuasion and cajoling; but I wouldn't weaken, until he suddenly called me to him in a low yoice and with tears in his eye, said: ' Crump, would you refuse a dying man a drink or water?' "No, Mr. President," I answered, "but you are net dyiag." But, Crump " be added feebly, "if vou do not give it to me, I will die," cd he closed his eye. I couldn't stand that,and I couldn't diaobey the doctors. But somehow or another I just ret a glass of spring water on the table by his ted, and went to tbe window; and, hang me, when I returned if that glass wasn't empty, and the President wanted to kmw, with a smile, what I meant by tantalizing him by putting a glass with no water in it within his reach, and he so thirsty. However, he never asked for any more that day, and I am certain that if he did urink that water it did him no harm. "if," said the Rev. Dr. Mark Trafton, in a speech before a New England Conference recently, ,4If I could swear, without sinning, you would hear something, brethren," and tho Conference applauded. & J. Jones.

PIMPLES

Beanfy Blemishes, Disfiguring Humen, hkin Tortures and Impure Blood, and the Cause. flow Tbey May be Oared. New Remedies. Socrates called beauty a short-l'ved tyran ny, Plato a privilege of nature, Theocritus a delightful prejudice, Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades a solitary kingdom, Home1 a glorious gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters of recommenda tion in the world, and yet none of these dis tinguished authorities has left ns eyen a hint of how beauty is to be perpetuated or the ravages of age and disease defied. Time soon blends the lily and the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots tbe fair face with cutaneous disfigurations and crimsons the Roman nose with unsightly flushes. Moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory of eyes, teeth and lips, yet beautiful, by defacing the com plexion, and lills the sensitive soul with agony unsDeakable. if Bucn bs the unhappy condition ot one afUicted with slight skin blemsshep, what must be the feeliDgs of those in whom torturing humors have for years run riot, covering tbe skin with scales and sores, and eherging tbe blood with poisonous elements to become a part of the system until death: t is vain to attempt to portray such sunermg. ueain in many case wnicn we Dave witnessed might be considered a bleesing. The blood and 11 uids seem to be impregnated with a tiery element which, when discharged through the pores upon the surface of tbe body, inflames and barns until in his efforts for relief the patient tears the skin with his nails, and not until tbe blood Hows does sufficient relief come to cause him to desist. Thus do complexional defects merge into torturing disease, and piqued vaoity gives place to real sunering. A little wart on the noe or cheek grows to the all devouring lupus. a patch of tetter on tbe palm of the band or on the limbs suddenly envelops the body in its fiery embrace, a bruise on the leg expands into a gnawing ulcer, which reaches out its fangs to the suITerer's heart, in every paroxvsm of pain; a small kernel in tbe neck multiplies into a dozen, which eat . . . a away tbe vitality; great poari-iue scales grow from little rash-like intlimmstiun in such abandanceas to pass credulity; and so on may we depict the no Hiring to which poor human nature is subject from cutaneous disease?, all of which involve great mental distress because of personal disfigura tions. trery school girl or boy knows that If a pore in the skin iu his or her face becomes clogged, a black head appears, ana eur rounding it a little pimple. If a dozen pores become clogged, there are a dczen black beads and pimples. So it i with acne In salt rheum, or, as it is technically called. eczema, the cause of the disease seems to be in the blood, from tbe fact that the prespiratory iluids which pour out through the tubes are charged with a poisonous element that creates the most intense itching and violet t iotlammatlon, and rapidly destroys the outer or scarf skin. This dreadful form of skin diseases attacks all ages, and may frequently be seen fully developed in young infants at birth, in such cases it is often called milk crust, t cild-bead, etc., but there is no doubt of its real nature, and that it is an inherited humor. If there were not another external disease known, salt rheum would be a sufficient in fliction on mankind. It pervades all classes, and descends impartially through generations. While Bome are constantly enveloped in it. others have it confined to small patches in the ears, on the scalp, on the breast, on the palms of tbe hands, on the limbs, etc.. but every where its distinct ive feature is a small watery blister, which discharges an acrid fluid, causing beat, in nammation and intense itching. Ringworm, tetter, scald-head, dandruff, belong to this scaly and itching order of diseases. Psoriasis, our modern leprosy, with its motber-of pearl scaie, situated on a red dened base, which bleeds upon the removal of the scale, is to be dreaded and avoided, as of old. Lupus, the all-devouring ulcer, impetigo, barber's itch, erysipelas, and a score of minor disorder?; make up the cata logue of external diseases of the skin. Thus far we have made no allusion to thoss a mictions which are manifestly impurities, of the blood, viz , swelling of the glands of tbe throat, ulcers on the neck and limbs, tumors, abscesses, and mercurial poisons, be cause the whole list can be comprehended in the one word "scrofula." The hereditary blood poison of scrofula develops in the delicate tissues of the brain mental weaknesses and inarmities, idiocy and insanity. It enlarges the glands of the throat, impairs tbe sense of smell and taste. or breaks into consuming ulcers on the neck. It destroys the lungs, or fills them with tuberculous secretions. It .eats away the coating of the stomach, enlarges the liyer, clogs the kidneys, creates constipation and induces p'les. The muscles it contracts and renders powerless with rheumatism. while the secretions of the joints contaminated by it cause the painful gout. It loads the perspiration with its virulent poi.ion, setting on fire in its passage he Utile tubes or pores of the skin, causing the torturing disfiguration salt rhenm, psoriasis, and other itching and scaly diseases which embitter life. It gathers at morbid centres into tumors, abscesses, and life sapping ulcers. It slowly undermines the constitu tion, and is the cause of nearly all chronic diseases. Tbe treatment of diseases of the skin and scalp has been for centuries based upon a theory which has entirely overlooked the important part tbe tubes and vessels of tbe skin play in tbe propagation and maintenance of disease bv pouring out upon tbe surface of the body lerspiratory Iluids charged with the virus or disease germs of scrofula, inherited and contagious namors. We are not uniat to the profession when we ssy that its efforts in the permanent cure of ekin, scalp and blood diseases have been a failure. What with mistaken theories, mineral poisons and blind reverence ot dogmas and superstitions long since ex ploded, ditfiguring humors, humiliating eruptions, itching tortures, and scrofula, the parent of all humors, llourish and in crease upon systems shattered by mercury, arsenic, zinc and lead. Nor have tbe sense less 'barsaparilJa.' ''dock, and dandelion blood purifiers (?) of quacks and patent medcine venders been any belter or mucn worsf. . We know that every word we no n write will awaken hope in the breas- of many a lifelong sufferer. Can we, in a broad and generous spirit, without prejudice, without reservation, say to those afflicted, "Here in the Cuticiua remedies, which may be bail of any druceist at less than the cot of a phyticlau'a vitit, is a speedy and permanent cure for diseases ol the skin, scalp and blcol, which haye defied all krown remedies, and the hieWt medical kill," with a just sense of tbe respoubibilitici we assume? We say we can. Thousands of letters in the possession of the originators repeat this story : I have been a terrible sufferer for years w ith blood and skin humors: have been obliged o shun Eublic places by reason of my disfiguring umors; have had the best physicians; have spent hundreds of dollars and got no real relief until 1 nsed the Cuticura remedies, which have cured me and left my skin and blood as pure as a child's. Cuticura Resolvent, the new blood purifier, cleanses the blood and perspiration of poisonous elements and impurities, and thus removes the cause.

They are abeoluUlv free from mineral or vegetable poisons and may be prescribed for every species of skin, scalp and blood diseases with tbe certainty of speedy relief and a permanent cure when all other remedies and tbe best physicians entirely fail. The Lies Told to Childrru. llall Mall Gazette. Alexandre Dumas has been comine out in tbe character of censor xnorum, and the theme chosen in the paper which he has contributed to the periodical rr joicinz in the title of Xouveau Ne, is the familiar one of the neglect shown by parents in the training of their children, especially in very early years. The grani effinse of parents lies in shirking the difficulties presented by the curiosity of children. The first beginning of thatmuuisitivenees are to be seen, according to 21 Dumas, in actions not get erally attributed so any such cauee. nen you see a child spoil and destroy immediately and deliberately the playthings that have been given "to it, pull off the petals of tbe flowers it has gathered and even the wings of insects which it has caught, you say: 'Children are destruct ive; childhood is merciless.' It is a mis take. The child is not destructive: it is not cruel. It is curiou. It does not want to destroy, it wants to know." But with the very first appearance of this desire for knowledge, with the flrtt utterance of the embarjasing but inexorcisable questions "how?" and "why?" the gravest responsibilities fall upon the parent, and these responsibilities he either shirks or seek to delegate to others. 31. Dumas' description of the latter process is very forcible. The mother, who has married not knowing why, and has brought forth a child not knowing how, makes hkte to hand over the care cf it to others. The wet-nurse and nurse to provide for the body; the bonne, the governess, and the convent, cr, in tbe ca'eci boy s, tbe tutor, and the school, to train the mind; the minister, the priest, or the rabbi to look after the soul each teaching which tie other calls falie, and all equally condemned by nature history and tcience these are all instances ot thut delegation of parental duty against which jl. Dumas inveighs. ''And all this because the man and woman wart to have all the pleasures, all the rights, all the recompenses, of paternity and maternity, while transferring as far as ever they can its duties and responsibilities to others. As tho children grow up the a e legation oi parental a u ires is followed, in the esse of the boys at least, by their abso lute neglect. The young man's desire to Know the world is allowed to lead him into all sorts of excesses, at which the parents wink. "II faut que jennesse se passe, ' and it is only when the vigor and the freshness of youth have both parsed away that the parents intervene to induce him to settle in life, in order that they may enjoy tbe luxury oi Deicg surrounded wita grandchildren. As forth) girl, she u kept as caie'ully away from all experience as tbe young man is recklessly exposed to all, and is allowed to grow up amid her creams and those of herequallly ignorant companions, ,4until one aay bdo meets, or is m&ao to meet, a man more or lets rich, more or less disillu stoned, wbce character, antecedents, morals, relatione, ana health are all imperfectiv known, and whom she marries, because she is cf the age to marry.'' It after this highly intelligent preparation of the young man or woman to meet the difficulties and tempta tions of life, these dilhcultios and tempta wons prove loo mucn tor mem, there is a great cry of injured surprise. "How doe this come about? I bare given him (or her) so much. The child w& well suckled by the nurse, well cared fcr by servants, well taught by matters, well grounded in morality by the priest. I cannot under stand it at all.' The difficulty remains that as has been well said, the stupidest child can aek more questions in five minutes than the wie est man can answer in a lifetime. The lesson of life, if it has a lesson, can not be impart ed. Each human being must learn it by his own experience. The problem in everv case is how to give the child a provisional code to guide it while the experience is be ing gained, and to save it from losing all that makes life worth having in the process of learning to live. And to the solution of that problem 31. Dumas contributes very little. But there is one point on which he dwells which moralists do well to insist upon. It is tbe heinousnees of the timehonored practice of lying to children. Thü practice has indeed, as we all know, the highest philosophic authority But the lies that Plato recommended were intended to embody the ttuth. The lies that most men tell to escape the perplexity occ3ioned by children's questions are lies that not only do not embody tbe truth, but render a true and healthy attitude of mind on c rtain subjects forever impoesib e. We are not now speaking of disputed questions of faith, but of plain physical facte, cf the habit ef exciting an unnatural curosity in children by evading their natural questions, of investing with a halo of unwholejomo mystery matters that both can and ought to be kept in the clear daylight of sciocce. The excuse for euch lying always is that tho chi'dren are rot old enough to understand. Hat, says M Dumas, and he esas well, ''L'entant a toujours l'age des questions qu'il fait I" "There may," he continue!, -b3 children who owing to physical causes are imbecile. But there is no such tbing as a stupid child. A child may have a more or less prompt intelligence. It may develop special aptitudes or antipathies. But you will never hear it say a silly thing (dire une betise) as long as you have not deceived it, as leng as you have not tld it a lie." There can bono doubt that of all tbe humbug practiced in the world there is none which on the whole U atteaded with more ruinous consequences than the deceptions to which parents constantly have leiouree, and that with a perfectly e&py conscience to evade tbe troublesome curiosity of children. "I am ooa vinced," fays AI. Dumas, "that the greatest revolutionaries in the world of ideas, those who have most hcrnfied mankind, who have caused the shedding of the most blood and the mt tears, have been children to whose flrtt questions men have net replied as they ought to have replied." The Failure of tli Vermont 8aar Cro vprlcgacld Republican. The failure of the maple sugar crop Vermont is tbe com pletest for many years. The depth of the snow and the absence of sharp frosts after the season beean, limiting the time cf the flaw of sap, have together reduced the production very much, and damaged the farmers several hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many who usually make enough for their own use and have a surplus to sell will not have enough to supply their own needs. Youth With a Pedigree. Columbus nqulrer-8un.

Cardinal Maaning has zone to Rome on important business connected with the future of the papal hierarchy in England. One of tbe matters he has in hand is said to be whether Bishop Vaugh&n, cf Salford, shall be appointed coadjutor archbishop ot England, with the right of succession to Cardinal Manning, It is perhaps with ref erence to this point that Archbishop Vaughan ox ayaney, Drother or the bishop of öalford, has left Australia for Rome. On the other hand. Mgr. Capel is not expected to return to England. It looks- as if the K man Church in England would in the fu ture be entirely in the hand of English men. uoston Herald. President Eliot, of Harvard University. in speaking of the difficulties which the clergy have to m6et with in the present day says: A new met tod of spirit of inquiry has been gradually deve oped, waich is char acterized by an absolute freedom on the part of the inquirer from the inSueaee of prepossession of desires aa to results. No other method of inquiry now commands respect. Even tbe ignorant have learn ei to deepise the process of searching for proofs of a foregone conclusion. Tbe civilized worll has set up a new standard of intellectual sincerity; and Protestant theologians and ministers mutt rise to that standard if they would continue to command the respect of mankind. The fault is quite as much that of tbe churches or sects as of the individual ministers, for almost every church or sect endeavors to tie its members, and par ticularly its ministers, to a creed, a set of articles, or a body of formulae. 2f o other profession is under such terrible stress of temptation to intellectual dishonesty aa the clerical profession it, and at the same time the public standard of intellectual candor has been st hieher than ever before.
