A WOMAN'S TALK

ABOUT SENSATIONAL CRAVINGS.

NEWSPAPER LITERATURE-THE DU TY OF PARENTS—SENSATIONAL PREACHING.

"There Is nothing new under the son" is often heard, and it is said that originality is a thing of the past so I cannot claim either the one or the other in the little I have to say about the sensational eravlngs of the mind. Old thoughts are often made to appear "as good as new, by the dress in which some are able to clothe them but I have not even done 4his, but send mine out in very plain fashion. What I am going to say of the human mind is as old as man himself, yet new to-day for has there not been, from the beginning, something in the Iranian compositional ways on the look out for the new, the wonderful, and the •exoiUng? Is not this verified in the stereotyped inquiry when frieds meet— "Anything new And if the news approaches, or even steps over the boundary of the strange, or the unlook-ed-for, is not the interest intensified And very often the news received has had its birth in some one*s.heart trouble, some one's sore mortification, someone's keen disappointment But does this make it less eagerly heard Alas! fear too often this only imparts a keener relish to it. I do not mean to say that we •do not like to hear of the good, the honors, or the success which may fall to the lot of our friends, but is there as .much interest as when the opposite is the case.? I fear not. This desire of the human mind, as we know, often becomes morbid, and is assisted to this end in various ways. Do not many of

THE NEWSPAPERS

Pamper to this natural craving of the mind, and aid in bringing about this morbid condition, filled as they are with so much that is exciting, exaggerated, sometimes horrible and brutal, and often indecent And these iall into the hands of the young, who eagerly read them, too often passing over that which would be of some benefit, as "dry stuff," •"tame," etc. Good newspapers are multiplying in the land, whose editors will not publish anything that does not come (within the lines of truth and chastity. And right thankful are we for these good papers, sent out by cultured, conscientious men. These are taking the place of books in a great measure, for who, if he reads the papers, and attends to bounden duties has much time for book reading? When anything is going en in the world, these papers give us every detail, so that we are saved the trouble of consulting geography, history, or anything pertaining to a clear understanding of the. subject. They are very near perfection in this respect, and fill a necessity of the fast age in which we -live. These, with the encyclopedias with which so many families are now supplied, are sufficient for a wide scope of information. But many are not of this class. One glimpse at the cut on the first page tells us the kind of reading matter crime, murder, suicide, robbery, etc. And these are the very papers some of "our boys" like best. The very ones they borrow if they can't get them any other way. "V ou may often see a boy on his way to school, who has a few minutes to spare bo fore school time, sitting in any convenient place, reading one of these,-with perhaps, two or threat bovs peering over his shoulder. I do not propose a cure for this 1 fear, once acquired, this is almost impossible but I am sure PARKXTS CAN DO MCCH TO FOSTER A

TASTR FOR OOOD READING

in their children. A plan whioh I have •een successfully tried was this A book of travels, biography, history or firstclass novel was read by pater familias after tea, and the rest of the family engaged in pleasant work meanwhile. The father, iu reading, allowed the mother's busy fingers to accomplish the much needed sewing, and made lighter the several tasks by this pleasant recreation. But this was in "ye olden time," when there were not so many "lodges/' so much "urgent business," aod so many "ol4 friends" to meet as now, and which duprivo the modern husband and tether of the enjoyment of an evening at home. Now that the blessed sewing machine lias given women's fingers a little rest, his duty can be delegated to the mother, aided by other members of the fcmlly. I think I can say that every one of this family acquired a taste for good reading, and, although scattered, and aronnd hearth-stones of their own—except one— still practice reading with their children. Only the other day heard one of them aay that her children, even her large boys, men in site, would rather listen to her than read themselves. This la as it should be. Give them a little of your time, and it may prove a precious dower, for, with a taste for reading gained* one is never alone, aod tiaae is never a laggard. If young do not bate some pleasant way to employ the time, when they must of necessity be alone, they

J,

will soon tire of the monotony, nnd will be very likely to seek company elsewhere, and right fortunate for tbero If they make a good selection. There are so many "whited sepulchres" to lure the unwary with their outward beauty and glitter, but inside is found that which will make shipwreck of soul and body. The foundation for a love of good reading may be laid before the child can read for himself, or even understand the language of the book, utiles* greatly simplified. Little talks are better, perhaps, with young shildren, than reading for it is very difficult to meet with Just the right kind of books in every respect. A little eight year old boy I know of likes talks of the motions of the earth, and its position in regard to the sun, which was illustrated by ob jects at hand. He is lond of flowers, and simple lessons in botany are often given him. Bright children are always asking questions. Answer them, for a spirit of inquiry should be cultivated so that tbey.may not pass through life with "eyes that see not—ears that hear not," but rather, with these senses acute and made primary inlets of knowledge, You may teach your boy a beautiful lesson of filial affection by telling him the story of -Eneas, and his piousjcare of his father, which form the subject of Virgil's JEneid. He will smile at the pleasant memory, perhaps, when in col lege and reading Virgil for himself. The minds of young children are as active as their little bodies, in which not one muscle Is placed for Inaotlon. You fur nlsh wholesome, nutritious food for growing, young bodies—love prompts you to do this—let love prompt you to provide healthful nourishment for active young minds. I know just how it is with many mothers—they haven't the time. I know a mother's work is never done, but Is not this a part, aud a very important part, of your work? R9mem ber that these precious souls are now in a plastic state, ready to take the impress for good or evil.

I would like to say a few words about

SENSATIONAL PREACHING.

I know many think this is the way to bring certain results about. But does the result justify the means, or, is tho end desired reaohod? I will take as illustration the sermons Mr. Talmage is now preaching. It seems to me that the end of all this will be an increased morbid craving for the sensational. If these sermons will cause the wealthy of his congregation to give some of their money, time and strength to aid reformation in this direction—if they quicken the consciences of the landlords of these dens of sin, and this result is shown in their tearing down these houses of disease and death, replacing them by healthful homes—then the result will indeed justify the means. If the wealthy congregations of the city churches—Mr. Talmage's included would take one-third (they would then have a respectable living) of the salaries of these popular ministers, and employ those who would help the sick and starving women gather in the children who form the "reserve corps" to fill depleted ranks, if not rescued. Make homes for them where they may have enough to eat, and where cleanliness may be taught them as a first leRson. Bmploy means by which they may be taught to aid in time in the industries of our land. Afire will goout in time if no fuel is added. All this will be ineffectual If only spasmodic in its action. It must be kept up as religiously and regularly as the church ordinances are kept up. Even then a speedy reformation will not be effected, for it is not the work of a year, or of ageneration but if even a few are saved each year, good will have been done. Will preaching effect all this? If so, let every minister in the land proclaim this great curse of every city, from the pulpit. Preaching may stir the hearts of the people in this work, but it will take money, and pleq ty of it and philanthropic souls, willing to give time and strength—willing to forego ease and muoh of the beautiful In life, and give themselves up to the oause. It is a Hurculean task —where are those willing to undertake it Preaching did not effect a reform among the outcasts of society in our city, although, not very long ago, we had plenty of it, and zealous workers besides. Why did it not result in permanent good? I think it was demonstrated conclusively that it foiled from lack of money. Money was needed to found a home for these women, for, in giving up their way of living, they gave up shelter and food. Means were wanted to supply a first class matron, and to provide for the wants of these women until they could be taught to be self supporting.

Workers and money are the chief means to be employed, while preaching can only be made an auxiliary. Mr. Talmage may be sincere, aod is taking this way to stir up the people to action. But if these sermons are delivered dm ply to satisfy the cravings for the sen satlonal, and thereby fill bis church to repletion, and gsin for himself a wide* spread popularity, then all good people, of whatever creed, will aay that the pulpit is profaned.

Surely when made subservient to worldly honors and selfish ends, this is true.

Keep holy the temple dedicated to the Most High God, aod let the minister proclaim from the sacred desk, Love to God and man.

Is not this all of the law This preached, aod practiced by those "sitting in high places," aod those blessed with more than an abundance of this world's goods, sin and its disastrous consequences would be lessened in the land and the words erf the poet who wrote "Man's in humanity to man, makes countless thousands mourn,'* would cease to be so applicable as now.

HOW IT DIDN'T WORK CASE.

'TJSERB HAUTJ2 SAIUR1-)AY EVENING MAIL

NAMING THIS BABY.

•What shall we uatue the baby?' Is an Important question this year, for the crop, like wnest, was never better. One would think nothing was easier than naming the baity, for the world has been full of names for 6*000 years, yet it is a subject that elicits the gravest discussion in the family, and reaches out to the 'advisory board' of the neighborhood, aud often ends in open di&satisaction, or a compromise by which the poor child goes through life carryiug a prenomen crushing enough to *break the constitution ana make tbe life of the bearer miserable. A long name Is always a disadvantage. For a boy who euteia tbe marts of trade a double name is often a safeguard, and especially so when the middle letter is seldom used in proper names. The leading name phculd be short and easily spoken, as the fact is too apparent to every one that if suob is not the case a nickname is sure to follow. The case of tbe girl is entirely different. No girl should be burdened with a double name, no matter how many aunts and grandmothers are to be honored by so doing. A girl should have a single name and that should be pronounceable and musical. Mehitabel or Jerusha, and like names, may be good aud substantial enough, but a young lady sooner or later revolts. Every young lady, as a matter of course, expects to marry, aud should not lose ber family name by so doing, but simply add that of her husband. She should get her doable name by this important act of her life, and not before.

ROBERT INQERSOLL'S PLAN OP MANAGING CHILDREN.

IN SMITH'S

Peck's Sun.

Not long since the following utter ance of Bob Ingersoll went the rounds of the papers: "Colonel Ingersoll says he 'keeps a pocketbook in an open drawer ana his children go and help themselves to money whenever they want to. They eat when they want to. They may sleep all day if they choose, and sit up all night if they desire. I don't try to coerce them. I never punish, never scold. They buy their own clothes and are masters of themselves.'"

A gentleman living on Marshall street, who has a boy that is full as kltteny as his father, read the artisle, and

ondered deeply. He knew that Col. was a success at raising children in the way they should go, and he thought he would try it. The boy bad caused him considerable annoyance, and he made up his mind that be had not treated the boy rigbt, so he called the boy in from the street, where he was putting soft soap on the lamp post, iu order to See tbe lamp lighter climb it, and said to him: 'My son, I have decided to adopt a different course with you. Heretofore I have been careful about giving you money, and have wanted to know where every cent goes, and my supervision bas no doubt been annoying to you. Now, I am going to leave my pockettook in the bureau drawer, with plenty of money in it, and you are at liberty to use all you waut without asking me. I want you to buy anything you desire, buy your own clothes, and to feel as thougn the money was yours, and that you had not got to account for it. Just make yourself at home now and try and have a good time.'

The boy looked at the old gentleman,

Ead

ut his hand on his bead as though he 'got 'em sure,' and went out to see the lamp lighter climb that soft soap. The next day the stern parent went out into the country shooting, and returned on the midnight train three days later. He opened the door with a night key, and a strange yellow dog grabbed him by the elbow of bis pants and shook him, as she said, 'like the ager.' The dog barked and chewed, until the son came down In bis night shirt and called him' off. He told his father he had bought that dog of a fireman for eleven dollars, an4 it was probably the best dog bargain that had been made this season. He said the fireman told him he could sell the dog for a hundred dol lars, if he could find a man that wanted that kind of a dog. Tbe parent took off his pants,what the dog had not removed, ahd in the hall stumbled over a birch bark canoe tbe boy had bought of an Indian for nine dollars, and an army musket with an iron ramrod fell down from the corner. Tbe boy had paid six dollars for that. He had also bought himself an overcoat with a seal skin collar and cuffs, and a complete outfit of calico shirts and silk stockings. In his room tho parent found the marble top of a soda fountain, a wheelbarrow, and a shelf filled with all kinds of canned meat, preserves and crackers, and a barrel of apples. A wail tent and six blankets were rolled up ready fordampingout, and a buckskin shirt and a pair of corduroy pants lay on tbe bed ready for putting on. Six fish poles and a basket full of fish lines were ready for busine&s, and an oyster can full of grub worms for bait were squirming on the wash stand. The old gentleman looked tbe lay out over, looked at his pocket book In the bureau drawer, as empty as a contribution basket, and said:

Young man, the times have been too flush. We will now return to a specie basis. When you want money oome to me and I will give you a nickel, and vou will tell roe what'you intend to buy with it, or I'll warm you. You hear me!'

And now that man stands around from tbe effects of the encounter with the yellow dog, and asks every man where a letter will reach Bob Ingersoll. He says he will kill Ingersoll if it is tbe last noble act be ever accomplishes.

A MORAL TALK

Little Johnny, the youthful contributor of tbe Argonaut, reoords this moral tale: A preecber wich bad been a gamier fore he was a preecber he seen a feller wtch was a garni or too, and he said, the precher did, 'lie lest play cards with this pore mlzable sinner, and win ol his munny, and wen be is busted may be be will lfsen to the divine truoth and be Mued.' So they played and the preeoher be winned ol the other feller's munny, evry cent, and then he sed, 'Now see how wiked vou hsve ben for to loos yure munny, sod yure wife and baby haven't ot no bred fur to eat.' And the gamier sed 'That's so,' sod he bust out eryiu. Then tbe preecber he said 'Pore sinner, if you promioe me unto your onoor to not playjcards agin lie give it ol back, cos I me a preecber.' So tbe gamier he was a stonlsh, an be sed: 'I never see sech a good man, I promioe, yes indeed, and heaven bless you!' and be busted oot cryin agin, the gamier did. Then tbe preecber be give beck ol bis munny, and the feller put it in bis pocket, and whiped his eyes, and bloae bis

preecuer: *i reel inity this hundred dollars from a man wich hasreecewed me from card playin, tell you what lie do, you nut up a otber hundred agin it and weef toss up for tbe pile, heeds or tails, best two out of three.1

It was in a Stumptown Sunday school that a visitor, who was interrogating tbe children, asked the question, 'Why was Lot's wife turned inio a pillar of salt?'

THE VLE OF HOSPITALITY. Boston Evening Gazette. True hospitality is a thing that touches the heart and never goes beyond the circle of generous impulses. Entertainment with the truly hospitable man means more than the mere feeding of the body, it means an Interchange of soul gifts. Still, it should have its laws, as all good things must have laws to govern them.

The obligation to be hospitable is a sacred one, emphasised by every moral code known to the world, andS practical outcome of the second great commandment.

There Bhould never be a guest in the house whose presence requires any con siderable change in the aomestio econ omy.

However much the circumstances of business or mutual interests may demand in entertaining a stranger, be should nover be taken into tbe family circle unless he is known to be wholly worthy of a place in that sanctum sanctorum of social life -but wheu once a man is admitted to tbe borne fireside, he should be treated as if the place had been his always.

The fact of an invitation gives neither host nor guest the right to

DO

master of

tbe other's time, ana does not require even a temporary sacrifice of one's lndi viduality or pursuits.

A man should never be so much himself as wheu he entertains a friend. To stay at a friend's house beyond the time for whioh one is invited is to perpe trate asocial robbery.

To abide uninvited in a friend's house is as muoh a misdemeanor as borrowing his cost without permission. It is debasing tbe coin or friendship to mere dross wnen a man attempts to make it pay bis hotel bills.

The fact of two men having the same occupation and interests in life gives to neither asocial right to the other's bed and board. A traveling minister hss no more right to go uninvited to a fellowpreacher's house than a traveling shopkeepesor shoemaker has to go uninvited to tbe house of his fellow-craftsmen. Men are ordained to the ministry ss preachers, teachers snd pastors, snd not as private hotel keepers.

They who go into the country in sum mer as uninvited guests of their farmer friends should be rated as social brigands and treated accordingly.

These few social maxims are oy no means to be taken as a complete oode of laws. Others quite as Important will spring up out of the experience of every reader of this article, and the justice and equity of all ma/ be tested by that infallible standard of society—tbe Golden Rule. There can be no true hospital ity that in practice is a violation ot this rule: and yon may safely rest assured that you htv6 th& fttllMt tad most perfect measure of entertainment te your neighbor if yon have done exactly as you would be done by.

FnnoStAt*—Should this meet the eye of the individual who created a disturbance In church last Sunday by his eontinned coughing, he will confer a favor on tbe congregation by procuring a bottle of Dr. Bull's Oough Syruy, which will cure him.

The V.». Mlenal Service. Gradually tbe wild and ungovernable forces of nature are, through science, made of use to man. Following in tbe wake of the ingenious inventions for the use of steam and electricity, comes tbe organization of tho U. S. Signal Service. Is It not wonderful that a system could be originated and perfected whereby an operator can accurately predict the weather of a distant locality? Aud yet experience proves our 'storm signals' to be reliable. Equally great are tbe advances made iortbe science of medicine. Step by step, uncertainties and doubts have yielded to absolute certainty. The discoveries of Harvey and Jumer have been succeeded by the Golden Medical Discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce. No longer need people despair because some physician bas pronounced tbe lungs unsound, Hundreds of testl monials are on file in tbe office of Dr. Pieroe from those who bad abandoned all bope, and bad been given up to die by physicians snd friends. Incipient consumption, bronchitis, and scrofulous tumors, speedily, surely and permanently, yield to tue healing influences of the Discovery. If tbe bowels be constipated, use Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets. For full particulars, see Pierce's Memorandum Book, given away by all druggists.

We Challenge the World When we say we believe, we have evidence to prove that Shiloh's Consumption Cure is decidedly tbe best Lung Medicine made, inasmuch as it will cure a common or chronic Cough in one half tbe time, and relieve Asthma, Bronchitis, Whooping Cougl), Croup, and show more cases of Consumption cured than all others. It will cure where tbey fail, it is pleasant to take, ^armless to the youngest child and we guarantee what we say. Price 10 cents, 60 cents and $1.00.
