T The War. A Husslan elHcial dispatch of the 13th claimed the capture by assault of the heights' of Crevitza, Ostnan Pasha's strongest out post at Plevna. There were heavy losses on both Hides. News from Plevna to the 15th, stated that Gen.

This want of a tfivn age or individual U a vary uurauaMe quality, Iu dmandM always need looking into most carttfiilly. Like eonseiunce.wliioli intwt itself Imj Instructed, the want of eaeh mind niaat Ihi brought up to some judginent-lHtr to answer for iWtHUggestioua and aspirations. As tho consmifnuo of a Hindoo will declare that such a child mutTlo drowned, or such a woman burned up, so what we call wanto" will, if let alono, do most wonderful things with tho income of any toiler. It might he that our deairea for line furniture and clothing and for palatial homes and all gorgoouanesa are as wrong and as despotic as the conscience of the Pagan mother who offers her first-born tosomo imaginary god. It may ho we are all led to ami iro by an Inner fury rather than by a deep wisdom. Ileyond doubt tho idea of our text is finding in tho measureless wants of tho present a most powerful enemy, and great will be tho sorrow before the age shall havo passed through this one war. Much as the cities and villages and tho private rooms and purses nro plundered by dishonest men, a still larger number of persons are robbed by the prevailing (the wants. A wicked philosophy can ransack a house and empty it as quickly as it could be accomplished oy n regiment of Turks. Ono Avottld rather bo beggared by a fashion than by a dishonest man, but the boggary in oaeh ease ie the same fact; it is painfully complete.

j Doubtless there nro many forms of labor which secure no fair wages, and to I underpaid persons all talk about econ omy anu forethought is only cold oru,elty; but in four instances out of livo tho wages form a summer timo out of J which the toiler might carry food for t the winter to come waro not tho toiler attackeiUnd rbctaii.kiid robbed by tho surrounding tastes. It is said there are switchmen on ono of out" oldest rwiways wkoe. horned sAid realties ar woith ten thbusiwd for each of these uJost patient laborers. A stone-yard master in Cini cinnati SATrns has men who have cut f stone fotvhim twenty years and who are I worth tea, tjr , tifteeu thousand dollars. ' Many such facts might bo irathercd tin fin .our land, and all would tro to toil I what common wagacwill achieve when nonetheless, fashion or barbaric taste inff.tviwa Iu ati1tiu tlia li!lt ,l.t1.. i V J-..vj ssutjjuwav t,l tUUUl (U IAI1 j pillage. ltis one of tho painful seonea of the ' day to see industry struggling against , the tlespotism of alm'aat.reiMhiM fasht ionr Good meu art letpingto thairtoll ' as soldiers hurl ttaaiwelveg against a i ( parapet, driven not by the natural and . . reasonable wts of society, but by the ! temporary (ironies or the heart, l ashion slaughter its subjects like a Dahomey King. Tn a rational society it is, thought that four hours of labor would I sustain life, and that six hours adavl would provide for the future; but the sacrcH.iaws of production and provision are. rudely broken by tho enormous appetite that wants all forms of things in the passing hour. You can all onttmerate for yourselves tho foes that prevent our industry from filling the present and future with real happiHoss. Lot us proceed now to ask why the principle of tho text should be thought so full of nobloness. Why should not the laborer exhaust upon today the wages of to-day, 'and upon to-morrow tho wages of to-moiTOW? Tho answer is plain. Life has it Rummor-timo, and if not its winter at leas,t ltj fading autumn. The hard touing days Should not oorer all of life up to its last hour. Work is indeed the condition of success of both body and mind, but not a work which amounts to asorvitudo like that of a galley slave. As. silver Imirs come, the quantity of physical and mental strain should be diminished, and life should llnw peacefully as it approaches the sea. J And then the-heart is so constructed by i its Maker that it must bo able, always to ! see before it a future of supposed peace. ' It must see a home before itself, planted i by some stream or grove, and must each day mark how the hard toil of the hour is laying those foundations. As tho old ' suffering and, persecuted saints, '.compelled to part w!ith their old Jerusalem, ' sm a Now Jerusalem coming down! from God out of Heaven, so all the young and middle-aged toilers in shops or street or field should see a home of! plenty and joy coming down to them, 1 not out of Heaven, but out of the future " years of this life. Such an inspiration is demanded by the soul, and tho toil of j each day may not bo tho task of, a cruel master, but the building up of a bettor ' future; the opportunity of an intelligent mind granted by a, benevqlent (Jod. The part which this homo-building ( performs in morals is as vast as the , nart it play in inspiration and hope.t The early life must have an outlet for its powerful passions. Something must, receive the hand's power and the heart's love. Some noble bjcefcjaaftanftvo before man ; otherwise his ihpbHnUna will j bo given to folly of vice.' Wlich'wagos urn lmtMSmr uti 41m fiifntvt uri ' ""M "l wiv iiuutVf muj am easily withhold from tho paths of sin. As virtue is easy to those who aro laying the foundations of tho State, or who are busy in literature or learning, because tho ono mighty Deity whips the degraded ones from the temple, w morality Is easily possible with all those who are looking into the future witli joy and faith. The charms of passion fade before the splendor of the future. Ilcfero us all there spreads out a winter. Tho falllntr leaves aro seen in tho 'okeek,tho white snow in tho hair.-?Nono ii .. t 1.1 t -..L.:ri i umi wt-iw iw iu ire uiu is omy w cm amity when alonsr with it comes wicked ness or poverty.

j In CkthiHg. One of the most important items in the family expenses ia the clothing, ospcially since there is so much of what Is called cloth" made up for boys and men, that will hardly hold together. WithjtUe average family the incomo is limited, and the prices of shoddy articles' aro so small that there is a strong inducement to purchase the so-called cheap" goods. It is porhaps not too much to say, that tho majority of pooplo buy low-priced clothing. Hut, tts a matter of fact, they aro tho most expensive goods that can bo worn. A strong, fine-textured, well mado article will outwoar at least three of this poor material, ar. ' it docs not really cost as inuch.con sidoring tho amount of wear, to say nothing of the shabby appearance of faded cloth the vexation of having tho garments .continually breaking to pieces, tho necessity of daily repairs, with tho unsafe feeling when one steps a little high, or puts on tin unusual strain. Tho excuse which we havo suggested for buying such goods wo know is a hard one to meet being in the majority of cases tho want of money to get better goods. Hut it is better to mako the oltl coat last a little longer, and put all the money into the rest of tho suit, and whon tho money ono will soon havo to find to supply another cheap suit is at hand, get a good coat. As a wise and economical rule, ono should never purchase any thing but a good article. Hut tho euro of clothing Is a very important matter. It makes a grca't difference in tho look and wear oF a hat or coat, whether they are thrown down on a lounge or chair when taken oft,or c.irefully hung tip. With two boys the expense of their clothing is often nearly one-half in diffcrenco mainly, as we think, because one of them will always hang up his clothes carefully, while tho other's may be found anywhere when they can bo found at all! Properly brushing and cleaning clothe, anil mending them as, soon as required, rather than waiting until the thread ravels out, or tho tear has grown too large to bo neatly repaired, add greatly to their durability. When they get a little seedy have some tailor who dues the work cheap and well give them a good cleansing ami pressing. This may be done several times to a good suit, anil each time' they will look a" good a-S new." Hero is whore true ccoimmy comes in, in the care of clothing, anil proper attention to repairing and cleansing. More than half the expense can bo saved in tho bill for the year if pains are taken to secure material worthy of such care. Tito Gorman Government is laying down subterranean telegraph wires as fast as possible. A line has been already opened between Rerlin and Mayence, and it is now intended to join Frankfort and Strasbunr iu a similar ia wMMuuik. ? Tho cost of those wires manner. is eight to ton times greater than that of the ordinary abpvc-grounti telegraphs; but when once constructed they are not liable to be injured by storms or bad weather, and it would be much more difficult for an enemy to destroy them, since ho would have to find out exactly where they are buried, and then dig down to find them.
