4 Adviee to Young Giris. A father talking to bis careless daughter, said: - “I want to speak to youiof your mother. It may be that yoi‘}é‘ have noticed a earé-wq'rn look upon her face lately. Of courseit has ‘béen brought there by any act of yours, still it i 8 your duty to chaseit away. 1 'want you to get up to-morrow morn ing and get breakfast, and when your mother begins to express her surprise go right.up and kiss her right on the mouth. . You can’t imagine how it will brighten up her dear face. ‘Besides, you owe her a kiss or two. Away back when you were little, she kissed: ‘you, whea no one else was tempted by’ your fever-tainted breath and swollen ‘face. - You were not so attractive then as now." And through those years ‘ot “childish sunshine and shadows she was always ready to cure by the magic of a—mother’s kiss the little, dirty, chubby hands whenmever they were injured 1 their skirmishes with the ‘rough, eold world. And then the midnight kisses with which she routed so many bad dreams as she leaned over your. restless pillow, have ali been on interest these long years. Of course she is not 8o pretty and kissable as you are, but if you had done your share of the work daring the past ten:years, the contrast would be so marked. Her face has'more wrinkles tham yours, for more, and yet if you were sigk, that face would appear more beautiful than any angel’s, as it hovered over you watching every opportunity to minister to your comfort; and every { one. of those wrinkles would appear as bright wavelets of sunshine chas- | ing each other over her dear face.

The young man, who has since become rich, says: “Mr. Colfax gave me some good advice, telling me 'that the most undesirable position in the world was a government clerkship; that few who held such pogitions could ever expect to rise higher.

A pleasing programme had been arranged, and aiaong the ex‘ercises weére recitations by Miss Mabel Anderson and Miss Hattie E.

Carp Culiure

As several of our citizens have already engageéd in the cuiture of this excellent fish, and many others are talking of trying their hands at it, we reproduce the following, by Mr. Geo. Ager, of the Eikhart lundependent, who is an enthusiast upon this subject: “A New Jersey carp. breeder reports three-year-old fish weighing thirty pounds. Ours are four-year-olds and will weigh that, and we believe we have the best carp grounds in the country. This breeder, however, may have forced the growth. These fish have been known to attain the weight of ninety pounds under favorable circumstances, while those weighing forty or fifty and even sixty pounds are plentiful. This great size is purely the sequence to gnod grounds, plenty of what is known as'white and yellow lilies, water grass or Tuscarora oats, wild rice and acquatic plants generally. They will grow. to the weight of two and a half pounds the same year they are spawned, and from then on, it nourishing food is plenty, ‘will reach eight or ten pounds the second year, They are very prolific, a two-year-old shedding a million of ova. Five parent fish will stoek an hundred acres of water.in three years and if not aisturbed ¥ depredators should yield nearly a ton of fish to the acre of water when well under way. The trouble witlh carp breeders is they believe spring water is what they need, while the truth is they wanta shallow duck pond, six feet of water being ample for winter purposes, while in the summer the largest -fish prefer two or three feet and the hotter the better, so it dose not-boil. The pleas‘ure and the profit are beyond compu‘tatien. The winter is the time when these fish require the greatest care, that is absolute quiet, as they hiber‘nate as do many animals, and though they take no food they lose no flesh. ‘They “kettle,” fifty or a hundred eonstituting a family, who prepare a dish'shaped place in the mud by digging it out and then they go into the kettle noses together and tails out in a circle as do quails at night when roost: ing. This wintering takes place when the cold weather gives sign of ap‘proach and occurred last fall the last of November. They lie dormant until the spring sun warms che water ‘when they break camp and proceed to the shallow water, lying in the warm (SEgWiing-sanson runt Uirough Muy 6 August, and it is never deposited at BB e pnioe o e rashes, bushes and grasses, but let a storm portend and immediately tho | work suspends.

' - ~ The New York Sun publishes an ‘exposition of chemical wine manufactured in New York City, which will not be likely to greauy‘_ enhance the sense of security on the part of the winedrinkers against the perils of adulteration. It appears that there exists there a school for giving the needed instruction for the compoundiug. of chemical imitation liquors of various drinks. Oa the wall the reporter found posted this placard: “In order to meet a loug needed necessity we hayve established a school, the object of which will be to instruct pupils in the art of ] manufacturing wines, liquors,brandies, ‘ete., of all kinds, by chemical process, at little cost.” It was admitted at this school that “wines and liquors are made up in hundreds of places 1n this ¢ity,” and that “Rhine wines that we got from France and Germany are in the main chemical wines.” The reporter asked: “What does it cost you to make a good cliemical Rhine wine ?” The answer was: “We can make it for from twelve to fourteen cents a gallon, inclusive of labor. Claret can be manufactured at the came figures, and other wines and liquors propertionately 10w.,” These significant figures show, in the light of high prices at which wines and other liquors are retailed to consumers, the enormous profits realized in the liquor business.

What Drunkenness Means.

(Froma sermon,preach'ed in Westminster Abbey‘ by Archdeacen Farrar.] What does drunkenness involve? It means that to thousands life becomes one long disease. Solomon told us that truth three thousands years ago: “Who hath wee? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who kath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath rednegs of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. At the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder,” Delirinm tremens —that inconceivably ghastly and agonizing illness—is but one of God’s execu.tioners upon excess. The fact that a natiem is addicted to drink means that the heal‘h of myriads of children with dissased bodies and fatuous minds and depraved impulses will be, in the awful language of an old preacher, “not born into the world, but damned into she world,” as idiots, or cripples, or as all but predestined drunkards; the curse of nations; the curse of their neighbors and the curse of themselves; a curse to the very ideal of humanity, which they drag and degrade; poisoning its very life-blood, and barring its progress to the great goal of better deeds. _ Nor is it only the bodies of men that suffer; it i§ their souls. Powerless for his deliverance, the couscience of the drunkard is not powerless for his torture. Robert Burns, Charles Lamb, and Hartley Goleridge had uttered the cry of men who had thus been swept over the cataract. The Spartans when they wished to turn their children from intemperance, used to show them physical degradation in the shape of drunken helots. The spiritual catastrophe of a man who has given himgelf over to the bondage of drink, is that when 'he recovers from the dagradation of the animal, itis to tee] the anguish of the lost soul. This is the reason why, year by year, drink not only crowds the workhouses with paupers, and the jails with felons, asylums with lunaties, and the hospitals with the diseased;bub it also swells, more than any other cause, week by week and year by year, the number of the lost, and those who, through the aw ful gate of suicide, rush with rude impulse ‘into the presence of their God. - -
