"The Young Men's Christian Association can now furnish fimt claw bookkeeper* (,I». E.): good skillful mechanic s, of all trade* gardnens and their wives vQOfchildce®) Ac."

The above advertisement appeared •Qwne time ago in the "Religion* Mlecel

auy" of a respectable religions weekly Vhile wo do not hold the editor of the aper, in which this exceptionable paragraph appeared, responsible for it, we do hold the

Y. M. ?,

A. responsible. An

nwociation which publishes such cards 'eserves the name which Vic. Woodhuli ives it in one of her lectures, "Young vlen's Christian Assination Society."

Much advertisements have become all 00 common. ."No children" is the condition on which houses are let, dairymen, ganlner#, coachmen, janitors and farmer* employed, and ministers called. »he writer feelingly remembers measurng many a weary mile "of pavement, under th« withering heat of three August Jays, in tho vain attempt to find a house which wan not too good for children. At the eud of the third day he concluded hat, as it was in judgment of Gotham he unpardonable sin to have children, he would seek a domicile in a less fastidious locality. Over the river to Brooklyn he went, he saw, be con jjuorred. Tho key of a cozy cottage .van in his hand, the first month's rent was on the agent's desk, the agent flourished his pen preparatory to writing a re?eipt, ho ominously paused as if to rocall some instruction, and remarked: "Of course you have no children. We have strict orders not to rent to a party having children."

The writer has but a faint recollection ir what followed. If he remembers ightly h(j dropped that key as he would a live coal, gathered up his money, muttered something about Sodom and (iomorrah anl tho day of judgment, and walked out with as much dignity aijtd firmiMws h« his blistered feet would dow.

Such advertisements are bad enough when they emonate from secular sources coming from professedly religious sources they are simply abominable. The demand lor childless married couples a demand for that which is unnatural, contrary to tho laws of life, to tho "Scriptures," and even an enlightened hoItUtnies*. There is no incentive to industry, economy and stability like that of internal love and responsibility. A truly wise employer would two to one rathor havo a clifldblessod inan tliiui a childless couple in his employ. In children he recognises both an incentive and an anchorage not nly a motive to do. but also a motive to lay. Tho "oneuinhered"—God forgive ho word—are not given to roving. There is many a gentleman's place whose market value would be enhanced fifty per cnnt., and moral value incalculably, by having two or throo young and growing families cosilv cottagod upon it. When ho wisest of)wings chose a gardner for His garden, He chose one who would "l)e fruitful, and multiply, and replenish tho earth." Dospite of all Malthusian nightmares, there is still room on this, (Tod's earth, for gardnors with children, and will lo any time these tltbusatui million yoars. Thorols not in tho nature of things any such demands us the above and kindred advertisements ould Moom to Indicate.

Childless married life meanseither disase or crime. It is unnatural and vi•ious. To attempt to supply a vicious domain! is to acknowledge its legitimacy arid whnlesomoness. In tho name of ernal decency, let some two handod ''hrlstlan lav the axe at the root of this 00 of ovll, whose roots havo penetrated ur whole social economy—whoso deadly •prouts are coming up everywhere. Not •nly In tho great social centres, but In remote rural Toglons as well, young married couples have learned and are learning that it Is not well to havo children. In some cases their olders plainly and Vtiblushlnglv forewarn thom against he "burden*' of a family. In others, •itlated public sentiment and tho examplo of acknowledged social leadors, lafnly set forth the advantages of being ''unencumbered," Women nave loarned

look upon maternity as an evil, and •hlldioss wives are congratulated upon heir exemption from its duties. The «se has been known of a minister, In regular standing, and jwwstor of an intluntial church, t»" openly and habltudlv sneered-e plo who were foolish 'nought1 "ii% Urge families." Such icious s« it ii' r,: :is this, together with he fashion -unking "no children" a indltlon of -. iiiployinent. has brought .bout a state of society which renders it isslble for Madame Hestells to live in tlluenee, and alortlonists to llnd lucraive practive in every large town. lxok abroad over our land! See the ountlem cozy homes gleaming like iaisles on its Ikwoui! These are not the •reationof gardners with "no children," ont of men and women who had ehllIren and loved thsm, and who realised hat one great eud of their being was to herish their children, snd work and 'are and save for them. Paternal love has made America a land of homes and land of morality.

WHAT HA .1 fiO USE BKA UT1FUL. It is an oxoellont tiling to have a wellkept house, and a beautifully appointed able, but, after all, the best cheer of very home must come from the heart and manner of the home mother. If that is cold, and this ungracious, all the ealth of India cannot make the home pleasant and inviting. Intelligence, too, must lend its charm, if we would have home an Kdcn. Tho sever® style of order and neatness seldom leaves mudh nargin for Intellectual culture. Even general reading is considered as out of lie question for a woman so hurried aud so worried with her scrubbing and tfoliahing. and making up garments. A simpler sivle of living and house furnishing would set many a bonded slave at liberty, and add vastly to the comfort of all the house.

Hospitality rarely prevails UHM spotless, line-and-letter hoases. Companv disarrange* the books, and disorder the house, which had work enough In it before. Tho ui -Utor cannot throw off her household .urea, and sit down for a real hmrt to h.wi converse with the old friend of h. childhood. Still less can she enter into the joys attd pleasures right and delightful to her own children, the extra work of clearlag away win lie likely to make,

RHEUMATISM.

WHAT IT IR—ITS CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT.a,. Rheumatism—derived from the Greek word rheuma, a flux—is a disorder of the blood, in which inflammation of the fibrous tissues is most remarkable. It is either acute or chronic, but the two forms are not easily distinguished, the chrouic often resulting from the acute.

Acute rheumatism shows itself by general febrile symptoms, redness, beat, swelling, and commonly intense pain in and around one or more of the larger joints. It is apt to shift from joint to joint, or to certain internal fibrous membranes, especially to the pericardium. The pulse is strong and full, accompanied with headache, though rarely with delirium, unless the heart is affected. The tongue is covered with a creamy, thick fur, and there is profuse perspiration, with so peculiar an odor, like sour milk, that physicians can frequently detect the disuse through the nostrils. The pain of the joints is aggravated by pressure or movement then, the sufferer is obUged for relief to lie in one position.

Acute rheumatism has two varieties, in one of which inflammation begins, not in, but near, the joint, attacking the tendons, fasciae, ligaments, sometimes the muscles themselves. This form is called fibrous or diffused.

In the other form the synovial membrane in the joint is affected, an excess of fluid being poured into the joint, distending the membrane, and making it bulge out around the joint. This is synovial rheumatism, whererednees and swelling come easier, and are more markeo than in the other variety. It is less severe than the fibrous form, and is often named rheumatic gout, and not unfitly, because it is a connecting link between gout and rheumatism.

The sofe exciting cause of acute rheumatism, so far as

Known,

Is exposure to

cold, particularly to cold added to moisture. Sudden changes of temperature conduce to it, because the secreting power of the skin being checked by the cold, certain effete matters which should be thrown

off

by perspiration are re

tained, accumulate in and poison the blood. This only occurs, however, when there is predisposition to the disease. The danger in acute rheumatism is almost entirely from its going to the heart and causing pericarditis, as it does oftoner than any other disease.

There are two kinds of chronic rheumatism. In one there is considerable local heat and swelling, without any corresponding constitutional disturbances. In the other there is coldness and stiffness of affected joints. This latter is frequently termed passive, and occurs as an independent ailment.

A patient liable to chronic rheumatism should always woar flannel next to the skin, and sleep lxjtween blankets. Despite numberless forms of treatment, rheumatism in any form is continually baffling tho skill of the ables physicians.

"/7' IS CURING EVERYBODY Halt Lake City Tribune. writes a druggist. Kidney-Wort is the most popular medlcino wo sell." It should tfo by| right, for no other medlcino hassucli specific action on the liver, bowels and kidneys. If you have those symptoms which indicate biliousness or deranged kidneys do not fail to procure it and uso faithfully. In liquid or dry form it Is sold by all druggists.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION. The chief part of tho cure lies with the imtioiit. Change, exercise, air, diet, tonic- all those together will not cure anyone who gives up and gives away. Tho aim of the patient must be to disregard and even defy his sensations, impressions, languor, or whatover form his sufferings may tako, and just go on as usual, doing all he can to forgot self.

Nervous people often rally wonderfully under pleasant excitement, sometimes even under sudden trial. They surprise their friends by their activity ano endurance, and accomplish the otherwise impossible. Let us illustrato our meaning fn one or two particulars. Suppose a patient so severely depressed that he can hardly bo persuaded to move he must begin—110 must try.

No brooding over troubles and watching for symptoms. (Jiving up is fatal resolution and hope gain tho victory, with tho help of Providence. And even as to fears, foreboding, and so forth, the same direction, In suustanco, will apply.

A ladv told the writer that, after a period of acute suffering from various apprehensions, sho ono uay said to horself: "Now I havo long been foaring all sorts of things, and they do not come I have had all manner of distress, aud dreaded what has never yet happenod. Nothing that I have* been so alarmed about has really occurred. I will allow these tormenting fears no longer." And she resolutely dismissed her apprehensions. She strove against, and in time overcame, her gloamy and groundless forebodings, and now lives to encourage others, to preach hope and cheerfulness and trust.

Not a few of the habits of modern life strain the nervous system considerably hurrv and excitement are far too prevalent.* "Taking things coolly' 'should be at least endeavored by those who may have much in their work calculated to stimulate the mind or tho feeling. Excitement of any kind is constantly the parent of nervous depression. So, too, are exciting amusements, snch as gambling. Too much novel reading is an unsuspected, bnt very often very powerful eentributing cause.

Simple habits, moderation in all things, cheerful amusements or pastimes, and reasonable, will go far to prevent nervousness. But when, through ignorance, indiscretion, hereditary tendenev, or affliction, it has been developed", the sufferer will do well to give all heed to the foregoing hints and take for his motto, "Hope on, hope ever.

IMPROVED APPETITE AND DIGESTION. One of the first effects of Compound Oxygen is an increase of appetite and an improvement in digestion. A patient writes: "I was unable to digest my food on account of Chronic Inflamation of the stomach and Torpidity of the Uver. The Treatment had an almost nutgical effect from the first. My Improvement In strength, appetite aud abilitv to digest my

food

Is indeed won

derful." Another says: "Can now eat almost anything 1 wish, though a month or six weeks ago my diet, even a hygeinle one* disagreed with me." Another "Mr appetite, before verv poor, is now execUeut. Feel an elasticity and courage and strength that I have been a stranger to for years." Another: "Hav« not felt so well in two years. \ppetite good Mood circulates well rains In Wk, limbs, and lnngs have disappeared, and 1 sleep such sound and eftwhing sleep that I begin to feel like new person." And another: "Respiration, appetite, nerves, r- 1 sleep all much Improved. Our ,*tlse

A PLEA FOR LITTLE CHILDREN. Atat Mercy. Fathers, don't whip your children, if yon have your heart in the work of training yotir little boys and: girls for true ana good lives. Fear, terror and TMiin should have no place in your discipline. Your little boy in his ignorance of the rights of property, which it has taken ages to make well defined even in the future nind, brings something home from a neighbor's that is not his own, or tells a falsehood, and yon feel it your duty to punish him, and, heedless of his frantic struggle, his pitiful pleading of "Oh, papa, please don't, I never, never will do so again," you give him what yon call "a sound whipping." To you this seems a righteous and meritorious action—but to nim—ah! the poor, aching, little tender body, the bruised and bleeding heart. Do you think you can ever in your life feel pain as keen or despair as complete as tnis poor little man does as he goes to bed and sobs himself to sleep? "But he'll soon get over it such things never kill the children." Better sometimes if they died. For you have made a terrible mistake. You might as well have taken a sledge hammer to drive carpet tacks, or thrown a big stone st your friend's face to kill a fly. You would have been pretty sure to miss the fly, but—the poor face—that is disfigured for life. You have taught your boy deceit. The next time he steals he will hide it from you, and worst of all, you have taught him to fear instead of love you.

I never see a big, strong man, or biped, I should sav, whipping a little, helpless child but Tlong to take his stupid head "by the two ears of it," and shake him till his teeth rattle! and if the creature was my own son-in-law, I am afraid it would make

Drink no stimulants not even teaand coffee, if you can do without them. If you must have them, see that there is just enough tea or coffee to give the water in which they are coeked, a palatable flavor. Never drink any liquors. They aro a delusion and a snare for you can do more and hardor work without them.

The matter of supper is an important item. This meal should be very light in quantity and quality. At this meal eat no meat, drink no hot drinks, or partake of anything the least bit stimulating. Foliowing this rule you are prepared to retire early, with your stomach empty and your whole physical economy ready to fall at once into a restful sle®P«

HO WNOT TO DRO WN. Nature. When one of the inforior animals takes the water, falls, or is thrown in, it instantly begins to walk as it does when out of tho water. But when a man who cannot swim fall* into the water, he makes a few spasmodic struggles, throws up his arms and drowns. The brute, on the other hand, treads water, remains on the surface, ana is virtually insubmergible. In order, then, to escape drowning, it is only necessary to do as the brute does, and that is to tread or walk the water. The brute has no advantage in regard ef his relative weight, hi respeetof tho water, over man, and yet the man perishes while the brute lives. Nevertheless, any man, any woman, any child who can walk on the land may also walk in the water just as readily as the animal does, if he only will, and that without any prior instruction or drilling whatever.

HOW TO MANAGE A COUGH. A distinguished Euglish physician, in a work on eolds and coughs, says if we would know how to manage a cough we must learn how not to ootigh. The inclination to cough should at any rate be suppressed«until the secretion, the existence of which sets up the cough, is within your reach a full inspiration should now be taken, and the accumulated phlegm is then removed at a single effort thus the mucous surfaces are not causelessly irritated, and a severe bronchial attack passes easily through its stages, whereas if the membrane is irritated.by violent and useless fits of coughing it gets sore and relaxed. Agiun, by inhaling steam or sucking an ipecacuanha losenge on first awaking, the dried secretion may be loosened or easily expelled, and the usual It of morning cough partly prevented.

PONDER ON THESE TRUTHS. Kidney-Wort is nature's remedy for kidney and liver diseases, piles and constipation.

Sediment or mucous in the urine is a sure indication of disease. Take Kid* ney-Wort.

Torpid liver and kidneys poison the blood. Kidney-Wort revives them and cleanses the system.

Headache, bilious attacks, diudnesst and loss of appetite are cured by KidneyWort.—See Adv.

difference—nota morsel.

I don't believe in the old New England doctrine of total depravity. I believe

children,

as a rule, are more inclined to

tell the truth than to falsify. I believe it is natural for the average child to look up to his father and mother. I believe that father who feels the importance of the charge given him, and who will be what so few parents are, the sympathetic friend, instead of the domineering master, and will keep his own example pure, will never need to degrade his child or himself by brutal blows.

Poor little men and women! They can't "organize" and have "children rights," conventions, and make speeches and resolve, etc-, etc., and they have so few to plead for them—only the poor old grandmas and aunties, whose sympathy for them is called "interference in the family government," and often does more harm than good. Don't whip the children. _____

SUMMER DIET.

A proper diet—by which we mean a diet adapted to the work a person is doing, is an important matter atany time, but especially so in the heat of summer. In the first place reduce the amount of strong food, such as meat, potatoes and food containing sugar and Btarch. Eat sparingly of meats, both in quantity and frequency. Twice a day, say for breakfast and dinner, is often enough.

Let the diet consist chiefly of grains, (such as cracked wheat, oat meal, pearl barley, etc.). fruits and vegetables, arranging to have tho bulk of the food fruits, which should le eaten when ripe, and in an uncooked condition.
