THE SONS OF PREACHERS.

An Endeavor to Trace the Causes of Their Wandering from the Narrow Path. It is often asked why sons of ministers go astray. There are many explanations why the children of men without wordly attachments might break away from the dull dignity of a mere teacher of a flock whose parishoners are quick to judge his children, and they beebine restive under the excessive restraint imposed on them as the sons of the best man in town. A reason for the errantry of preachers’ sons I consider to be in the ambitious nature of their fathers. There is not so proud a thing on the globe as an ecclesiastic. The man put in a pulpit several times a week to champion his sect, his theology, or the passing question in mbrals, becomes in the exercise of his disputative power a proud, vehement, impetuous person. It was so before the ecclesiastics had either wives or sons. It was so when Wolsey was a greater man than the King of England, and Richelieu greater than the King of France. It was so when the son of Pope Alexander, he who gave America to Spain in the name of heaven, made all Europe the theater for his ambition and revenge. Not unfrequently an ambitious young man chooses the pulpit in preference to any profession he can think of. This occupation often attracts young men at college who obtain some applause platform speeches. They consider that medicine and law involve too much drudgery and probation, while the pulpit lets the young tyro loose from the very beginning, to declaim not only to men but to women. In England, where the clergyman has living, or a rectory, or parish, from which he is not removed all his life, it is natural for the sons also' to take the father's business as the sons of a miller would run a mill, and the grandson after that. In that way the Wesley family were for three generations priests. Where there is talent in a clergyman’s children, it is frequently willful and precocious, like the aggressive nature of the father, thundering away by the hour at his flock. The library of the preacher lies open to the boys. They find in it not the lessons of humility, yet they are Expected to be living manikins to illustrate what their father is preaching about. Besides, there is a certain aristocracy in preachers’ sons. They have seen their father in control of ; a large congregation, demi-magisterial, in the little town he lives in, and they do not take kindly to trades or even to clerkships. There is, or there was, seldom enough money to bring up the children in accordance with their self-esteem. So a sensitive, unnatural pride akin to aristocracy lives even in-the-ehildi-and-when it carries him in some tempest of indignation or revolt away from the monastic discipline of home, lie becomes an object of notice, and then a certain re-morse—-the return of his better nature, or, rather, of the strict and superstitious teachings he has received—deepens his thoughts and passions. The men I have been describing are nearly all models of worldly and not of divine perfection.— Gath.

A Petrified Forest.

The visitor to the petrified forest near Corrizo, on the Little Colorado, will begin to see the signs of petrifaction hours before he reaches the wonder; here and there, at almost every step in the road, small pieces of detached limbs and larger stumps of trees may be seen almost hidden in the white sand. The petrified stumps, limbs, and in fact whole trees,, lie about on all sides. The action of the waters for hundreds of years has gradually washed away the high hills round about, and the trees that once covered the high table-lands now lie in the valley beneath. Immense trunks, some of which will measure five feet in diameter, are broken and scattered over a surfacebFSOO acres. Limbs and twigs cover the sand in every direction, and the visitor is puzzled as to where he shall begin to gather the beautiful specimens that lie within easy reach. There are numerous blocks or trunks of this petrified wood that have the appearance, for all the world, of having just been cut down by the woodman’s ax, and the chips are thrown around on the ground, so that one instinctively picks them up, as he would in the log-camps of Michigan and Pennsylvania. Many of the small particles, and even the whole hearts of some trees, have now become thoroughly crystallized, and the beautiful colored cakes sparkle in the sunshine like so many diamonds. Every color of the rainbow is duplicated in these crystals, and those of an amethyst color would pass the eye of a novice for a real stone. The grain of wood is plainly shown in nearly every specimen—making the pieces more beaut il'ul than ever. Although the party went armed with pick and crowbar, they were entirely unnecessary, fpr thousands of broken fragments can be gathered all about you, and the sunlight striking upon the., crystallized particles, points out their hiding places to the eager searcher after curiosities. —A I b ugu erque Journa I.

The Dress of Nova Scotia Women.

The young girls array themselves in hats and costumes ■which are only two or three years behind, the prevailing mode; but the attire of the middle-aged and elderly women is striking and peculiar. For Sundays, this is invariably black throughout, and yet does not look funereal. The dress is plain bombazine or alpaca, a shawl folded square, and over the head a large silk handkerchief, which must be put on with great exactness and care to make just so many folds at the sides, with a huge knot under the chin; while the point at the back hangs below the neck and generally has one or more initials neatly worked in colors (cross-stitched ) in the corner. As most have clear olive complexion, with rich color in the cheeks, and lustrous black eyes, this head-dress is surprisingly becoming, giving quite a gypsyish effect. ■ The old women, in winter, wear enormous cloaks, made with a large square yoke, into which o glit or ten 1 readths of material . are cliisd; plaited—this unwieldy garment co'.npletdj' enveloping them from head to foot. These distinctive features in

costumes are disappearing, and ere long our American peasantry may become more commonplace and uninteresting. Let us hope that they may never lose the sweet simplicity, frankness, honesty, thrift and other pleasing characteristics which they now possess. — Cor. Tourists’ Gazette.

How Eclipses Impress Savages.

Notwithstanding the frequent recurrence of eclipses, with nothing particularly bad happening after them, most primitive people associate with them an omen of some great danger to the earth or the moon. The Greenlanders have a personal apprehension in the matter, and believe that the moon rummages their houses for skins and victuals, and destroys those persons who have not observed due sobriety. The South American Chiquitos try to help the darkened star against a dog that has worried it till its light has been colored red, and extinguished by its streaming blood; and they shoot arrows into the sky to drive away the dog. Charlevoix gives a similar account of the Guarani, except that with them a tiger takes the place of a dog; and in the language of the Tupis the literal translation of the word for aneclipseis, “The jaguar has eaten the sun.” So, in Asia, the Tunguses believe ah evil spirit has swallowed the earth’s satellites, and they try to frighten it away by shots at the darkened disk. In Sumatra and Malacca the fear is aroused that a great snake will swallow the sun or the moon,’ and the Nagas of Assam set up a great drum-beating, as if in battle, to frighten away the devouring monster. Among the American tribes are some who be lieve that eclipses are a warning of the approaching disappearance of the sun and the fall of the moon at the end of the world. The Pottawatomies tell of a demon in the shape of an old woman, sitting in the moon weaving a basket, on the completion of which the world will be A dog contends with the woman, tearing the basket to pieces every once in a while, and then an eclipse of the moon takes place; others imagine that the moon is hungry, sick, or dying at these times; while the Alfuras of Ceram think he is asleep, and make a great uproar to awake him. These superstitions are not so remote as they may seem at first sight from the impressions which the heavenly phenomena make upon many persons vho consider themselves civilized. Circles may be found in nearly every nation upon whom the appearance of anything unusual in the sky carries an apprehension that something dreadful is about to happen; and by whom even the most ordinary phenomena are invested with occult influence upon things that we know have no connection with them, and it is only two or three centuries since the dire portents of comets and eclipses were prayed against in all the churches.— Popular Science Monthly.

The Habit of Sunday Stuffing.

This habit has grown to be common in our large cities, where men live at a distance from their business places, and therefore take a light lunch every day during the week. When Sunday comes they liave leisure for breakfast, and little exercise during the forenoon; then have a royal dinner at 2 o’clock, and perhaps lazy lounging and “lying off,” as it is called, during the afternoon ; they thus eat twice as much on Sunday as they do other days. The appetite is just as good as it would be if they were engaged in their ordinary occupation, but the needs of the system are not half so great when a person is idle as when he is actively or laboriously engaged in business, and the result is that Monday is a blue day to very many. It is a day of headaches and ill-feeling, and by Wednesday, perhaps, they get back into their normal track agaii;, and by Saturday are ready for another stuffing on Sunday. We believe that dyspepsia in city men originates, in nine cases out of ten, in the practice of over-eating, and taking little exercise on Sunday.— N. Sizer, in Phrenological Journal.

The Knife-Grinder and His Work.

The knife-grinder has, after all, a story to tell, and a very dismal one it is. He is environed by dangers, as completely as he is saturated with the wet “swarff ” (powdered stone) which dyes him a deep saffron color from head to toe. He sits over a tool which at any moment may send him through the roof with all the suddenness and velocity of dynamite, and he works in an attitude and (especially if he be a “dry” grinder) inhales a dust which he knows will shorten his life by ten, twenty, or oven thirty years, as constitution or fortune may serve him. The sharp crack of a breaking stone is an appalling sound to the occupants of a grind-ing-hull. A bang in the trough, a crash in the roof, a piteous moan, and all is over. If the victim be alive, he is hurried to the hospital; if dead, his crushed body is reverently carried away. No vigilance in the matter, no care ,in the workman, seems to be able to avert these periodical catastrophes. The insidious water-rot, the hidden flaw, and the unequal grain do their fatal work in spite of all precaution.— Illustrated Magazine

Might Have Known It.

Mrs. Minks—Oh, I’ve just made the funniest discovery. You know my husband never would tell me what they do I at the secret society he is a member of. Mrs. Finks —Yes; mine won’t either. Mrs. Minks —Well, yesterday a big can of alcohol came addressed to him for the lodge. He is a past grand something or other and takes care of things. Well, I noticed him going up stairs with some of the alcohol, and when he got to his room I peeped through the ! keyhple, and what do you think I saw ? He had an alcohol lamp and was putiting salt on the wick, and it made the awfulest, ghastliest kind of a light. I was l 'positively scared, he looked so like a gobhn. I suppose they do that at their initiations. * Mrs. Finks—Did you ever! Well, I might have known they used alcohol.

The Way Sponges Are Taken on the Florida Coast.

The vessels engaged in this business vary in size from five to sixty tons. These vessels are supplied with small boats or “dinkies,” one boat>4o every two men. There is one man extra who cooks for the crew and takes charge of the vessel while the small boats are sponging. The outfit of a small boat consists of a sponge-hook attached to the end of a long pole, water glass (this is a wooden bucket with the bottom removed and a glass inserted in its place), sculling oar, etc. One man takes charge of the sculling oar, and propels the boat, while the other in the bow of the boat, with his breast lying over the gunwale a little to one side, looks through the water-glass with his head in the bucket, which floats upon the surface of the water. The water beneath the glass is calm, and objects are magnified so that one can see distinctly objects upon the bottom of the water six or eight fathoms deep, and over an area that will cover a quarter of an acre at one view. The sponges are usually attached to rocks upon the bottom. When the man looking through the glass sees one, he plunges the pole with the hook attached to the bottom, fasten sit to the sponge, tears it loose raises it to the surface and places it in the boat. If, after being severed from the bottom, it is dropped from the hook before it reaches the surface of the water, it floats for a time. Each sponge is enveloped in a thin, dirty looking membrane, and the sponge itself is full of animal life, jelly-like in appearance. These are placed upon the decks of the larger boats until a sufficient quantity is obtained, then they are placed in pens or kraals made in shallow water. Here they remain from four to ten days according to temperature, preparatory to the cleansing process, which is accomplished by thoroughly beating the sponge with a club, and afterward carefully washing all —by this time—the filth out of them. They are afterward strung into bunches, averaging about one and a half pounds. They are put upon the market in this condition. Key West buy s about eight-ten ths of all that are taken in the Florida waters. They usually bring about $1.50 a pound. There are supposed to be about 300 sail engaged in this business upon the various sponge-bars in Florida waters.

Oiling Wagon Wheels.

A well-made wheel will endure constant wear from ten to twenty-five years, if care is taken to use the right kind and proper amount of grease, but if this matter is not attended to, it will be used up in five or six years. Lard should never be used on a wagon, for it will penetrate the hub and work its way out around the tenons of the spokes and wheel. Tallow is the best lubricator for wooden axletrees, and castor oil for iron hubs, but many of the present axle greases are also excellent, and have the merit of being cheaper and easier to handle. Just grease enough should be applied to the spindle of a wagon to give it a slight coating. This is better than more, for the surplus put on will work out at the ends, and be forced by the shoulder bands and nut-washer into the hub around the outside of the boxes. To oil an iron axletree, first wipe the spindle clean with a piece of cloth wet with spirits of turpentine, and then apply a few drops of castor oil near the shoulder and end. One teaspoonful is sufficient for the whole. —Farmlng h orid.

BAFFLED!

One of the Most L’n accountable and Dangerous of Recent Deceits Discovered and Exposed. There is some mysterious trouble that ia attacking nearly every one in the' land with more or Jess violence. It seems to steal into the body like a thief in tne night. Doctors cannot diagnose it. Scientists are puzzled by its symptoms. It is, indeed, a modern mystery. Like those severe and vague maladies that attack horses and prostrate nearly all the animals in the land, this subtle trouble seems to menace mankind. Many of its victims have pains about the chest a nd sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A strange, sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load upon the stomach; sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation is felt at the pit of the stomach, which food docs not satisfy. The eyes grow sunken, the hands and feet feel clammy at one time and burn intensely at others. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a grayish-colored expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to aflord any rest, He becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a peculiar whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive, and then, again, outfiux intensely; the sain is dry and hotat time's; the blood grows thick and stagnant: the whites of the eyes become 'tinged with yetlow; the urine, is scanty and high-colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is often attended with palpitation of the heart. The vision becomes impaired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of prostration and great weakness. Most of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly onethird of our population have this disorder in some of its varfetWoTTOS" white medical men have almost wholly mistaken its nature. Some have treated it for one complaint; some for another, but nearly all have failed to reach the seat of the disorder. Indeed, many physicians are afflicted with it themselves. The experience of Dr. A. G. Richards, residing at No. 458 Tremont street, Boston, is thus describe.! by himself: “I had all those peculiar and painful symptoms which 1 have found afflicting so many of my patients, and which had so often baffled me. I knew all the commonly established remedies would be unavailing, for I had tried them often in the past. I therefore determined to strike out in a new path. To my intense satisfaction I found that I was improving. The dull, stupid feeling departed, and I began to enjoy life once more. My appetite returned. My sleep was refreshing. The color of my face, which had been a sickly yellow*.' gradually assumed the pink tinge of health. In the course of three weeks I felt like a new man, and know that it was wholly ow-ing to the wonderful efficiency of Warner’s Tippecanoe The Best, which was all the medicine I took.” Doctors and scientists often exhaust their skill and the patient dies. They try everything that has been used by, or is known to, the profession, and then fail. Even if they save the life it is often after great and prolonged agony. tbis_can battvoidetL bypreeaution and car ■, how insane a thing it is to endure such suffering!

that so many people sink into untimely graves when we consider how they neglect their health.

Life in an Unknown Country.

Women work hard in Ajmere. By the Dah Bungalow I saw a file of a dozen, chiefly young girls, uplifted high on an unfinished house, busily engaged in bricklaying. In most towns water is supplied in frequent wells approachable from the street level. At Ajmere the daily supply of water is found in a dip between two walls of rock approached by steep flights of steps. One rock' rising there out of the water was almost literally hidden from view by a cljud of pigeons that clung to its rugged front. It was a pretty sight, the constant stream of straight, lithe women in many-col-ored kittles ’ coming and going with their red jars poised on their heads. Some had a small ringjof plaited straw which they placed on thbir heads, and on this stood the water jar, slim-necked, full-bodied, and rounding off at the base to a ring no larger than the palm of the hand. Far up at the top of the steps on the town side was a stalwart blind beggar who had miraculously caught sight of us, and at short intervals broke forth into stentorian entreaty fpr backsheesh.— Cor.

DR.

He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed and carried ont. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It ii, however, prudent, ana in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dote of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient.
