WHXOKLIJ I'IIII.LIPS' ADVICK TO RPKAKKUS.—I think practice with all kinds of audiences tlio best teacher you can have. Tliink out your subjects carefully, road all you can relative to them, Jill your mind, and then talk simply and talk naturally to an audience. l'\rgot altogether that you aro going to make a sneeeh, or that you aro making one. Absorb yourself in tlie idea that you aro to strke a blow, carry out a purpose, cfleet an object, impress an idea, recommend a plan then having forgotten yourself, you will be likelier to do your best for your purpose. Study (lie elass of books* your mind likes when you go outside of this rule, study those which give you facts on chosen subjects, and those which you can find most suggestive.—Remember to talk up to your audience, not down to it the commonest nudieneo can relish the best tiling you ean say, if you know how to say it properly." lie simple, bo in earnest and you will not fail to reach I lie masses/

Let me toll you," says the Saratoga correspondent of tho* X. Y. H'orM, ota pretty little minx, inSummersilk, who had put on her hoops before coming to the Columbian Springs to be tilled. She spoke tho Rrooklyn dialect, which is religious, and she was accompanied by a i'ast looking man who wore a sporting velvet coat and one of those absurd glossy hats which suggest the impossible idea of polished veal. 'Give me another, dear,'said she in a sweet, bubbling voice that had a pleasant plashto it 'one. more, darling. I do so love the lit hie acid, don't you 'Yes, my charmer, he replied softly, 'hut you promised me to stick to the fluoride of calcium until we are married,' 'Well, what's the difference vou were going to take the chloride of potassium for mv sake, but you have been mixing iolidos and bicarbonates for a week. You know it now and sho dropped a little hot tear into the last tumbler. Then they went slowly away in search of another puddle."

How IIK LOST HKH.—The OWrlin iSVir.i tells of a close-listed fellow named John, who went in a "ono horso shay with his aflianced on a picnic excursion to the There, while the other young were luxuriating in the nice provided, John and Phtrbe partook of a dried apple pie, which John longht at a fkrmhonse. As thev drove home in tho soft moonlight, their fond hearts wrapped in each other's love, John pro-

osed to Phcebo that if she would settle the buggy hire he would pay the other half, and charge her nothing for her share of pie. She paid it, and went to the president of the college next morning, and after relating the circumstance, asked him if he thought it would.be criminal to break her promise to 1k» John's wifb. He thought it wouldn't, and she broke it and John died a bachelor.

PANNIKR RAILWAYS.—A now arrangomont for railways will shortly come beforo tho public in England, under tno title of tne Pannier system. A single row of piles carrios a continuous girder on which the train runs, the carriagos hanging down on each sido to within ft very short distance of tho ground. Tho carriages aro so arranged that inequality of weight on ono side to tho extent of a ton will not ailoct tho action. The small quantities of land required, cheapness of construction and speed are advantages ciaimed for it. Extensions and alterations aro going on which will place Edinburgh within six hours of London. A sclicmo has been proposed by moans of which, it is assorted, Manchester will bo rcachod by LOIII donors in two hours. If wo understand the proposition rightly tho carriages I would pass over rollers kopt in motion by turbines.

Lamartino tolls a story that oxauisitelv illustrates a mother's lovo "In a spring freshet, a river widely washed its shores, and rent away a bough whereon a bird had built a cottage for her summer home. Down the whito and whirling steam drifted the groen branch, its wicker cup of unflodgod song, and fluttering besido it, as it went, tho mother bird. Unheeding tho roaring river, on slio went, her cries of agony and fear piercing tho pauses in tho storm. How like the love of the old fashioned mother, who followed tho dove she had plucked from her heart all over tho world. Swept away by passion that child might be, it mattered not though he was boaring away with him the fragrance of the shattered rooftree, yet that mother was with him a Ruth through all his life, and a Rachel at his death."

TALE-BEARING.—Never repeat a story unless you aro certain it is correct, and not even then unless something is to be gained, either of interest to yourself or for the good of the person concerned. Tattling is a mean and wicked practice, and he who indulges in it grows more fond of it in proportion as he is successful. If you have no good to say of your neighbor, never reproach his character by telling that which is false. He who tells you the faults of others intends to tell others of your faults, and so the dish of news is handed from one to another till tho tale be comes enormous.

business men of the West) is a sufficient guarantee of its reliability. The West ean do better for the assured than the East, because Western Companies can lend their money at a much higher rate of interest than Eastern Companies do or can, unless they invest in the West, which most of the Eastern Companies are forbidden by their charters to do. Higher rates of interest allow of larger dividends, and the advantage which Western Companies have over Eastern in this particular, is clearly shown by the following estimate of money Invested at different rates: $1,000 invested for 50 years, at 6 per cent, compound interest, yields 8 18,420.10 11
