f . J THERE'S MANY A SLIP. N6w walketh he the pavement With most uncertain stride ; lie staggereth first this way. Then that way doth he slide. His slippery way he traceth With ever-watchful care, Avoiding coal-hole covers And every other snare. Hut idle are his efforts To rule each lower limb, For suddenly outjoeth His feet from under him. And to the ground he falleth With agonizing thump. And on the pavement giveth . His head an awful bump. Then to his feet he riseth - From where he fell him down. And frazeti at t!ie sidewalk With deep,' resentful frown. ; And thus it chaiiceth ever. Whene'er a man doth fall. He frowneth and he stareth On what hath caused it all. HOW TO HAVE A BAD - SCHOOL. 1st. Elect the mo'st ignorant, bigot ed, closetisted old fogies for Directors. 2d. Employ the cheapest teacher , you can get, regardless of qualifica tions, reputation or expedience. 3d. Hrid all the fault you can with the teacher, and tell everybody; especially let the pupils hear it. 4th. When you hear a bad report about the teacher or the school, circu late it as fast as you can. 5th. Never visit the school or en courage the teacher. Gth. Take close notice of what seemsj to go wrong (quiz the scholars), and tell everybody about it except the teacher. 7th.; Never advise your children to obey the teacher, a d when one is punished rush to the school room be fore your passion is cooled, and give the teacher a hearing in the matter in the presence of the school, or allow your children to insult the teacher without reproving them. 8th. Be indifferent about sending your children too regularly, and if they make slow progress blame the teacher. Dth. Never have your children ' study at home, or inquire about their progress, lu. Do not be concerned whether they have the necessary books. In general, conduct your school on the cheapest possible plan, and let your chief concern be to find fault and devise ways of retrenchment. If these rules are faithfully carried oufyou are not likely to fail in hav ing a bad school,: to see your children grow up vicious and ignorant or look back with bitter censure on their parents for robbing them or their birth right; you will see the morals of your district degenerate and decent and enterprising people move out of it. KINO WORDS. i "A word lasts longer than a marble 'slab," is a proverb the truth of which jonce comprehended would make us careful that our words should bekiud Jy. It was the twenty-fifth anniversi- ry of Mrs. M 's wedding day, but she had not remembered it. Her husband came in much later than 'usual. , '.'""What in the world kept you so long?" sbe asked in an irritated tone. "I stopped at the jeweler's on my way home to select for you a dozen nutpicks." "You might as well have spared yourself the trouble. I don't want any nutpicks. We have some now that have never been used." "Well, we are going to daughter's this evening; I'll take them to her." "She's welcome to them. I don't want them. But I think if you had any money to throw away you might have a better way to waste it." There were some bitter words, or Mrs. M certainly was out of sorts, but when she, in company with her good-natured husband, , reached their daughter's house, her irritation had somewhat spent itself. "flei , daughter," the gentleman said, "I picked out a beautiful case of nutpirks for your mother, but she will not have them, so I present them to you." The daughter took the package, and beside the nut-picks, untied the wrap ping and touched the spring of the satin case. Therein the dainty folds of the pale lay a beautiful enameled gold watch. Then how ashamed was the wife at her petulance, and how much she would have given to have recalled her unkind words. Perhaps the hus band was satisfied with the humble apology she offered as she thanked him for his exquisite gift, but I won dered if ft would always be to her a reminder that she should speak pleas , ant words. FAULTFINDING AT TABLE. Woe betide the woman marriod to a man who sj-stematically growls at the table! Life brings her neither peace nor happiness. Three tjmes a day her tyrant growls and snarls like any other wild animal over his food. I knew a man of this kind once, and how I pitied his wife and daughters. One of the latter married in haste one day joined her fortunes with those of a comparatively poor man not exactly in the same set as she was accustomed to live in simply to have her meals in peace. It is said that she made her future husband swear that he would never make a fuss over his dinner, and I understand that they are to-day the happiest couple living. .Reconciliation took place be fore they were married, but the left before the nuptial breakfast we all remarked that--and though of course she visits the house, nothing could' induce her to take a meal there. She I is a woman of spirit. As for the man's! wife poor worn an ! May be in younger j days she might have thought of possi-1 ble relief by means of a divorce, and they do say mind you I do not assert it, though it did come from a distin guished jurist that something of this kind was entertained; but such a plea of mental insanity, when only food was placed before him, could not be advanced, for in everv other rela lion of life that U to say, save when ! at the table he was amiability itself. If he were only younger, the habit might be whipped out of him. As it is, it can only be borne with patience, j rSpring field Union. ;. ' Too Much Livestock.

The Bull will quickly i scare.the hoarse away," - W. O. T. XT. WHAT DOCTORS THINK. Toledo physicians bear testimony to the if act that no man can drink beer isfely, that it is an injury to any one wnp uses it in any quantity, and that itreffect upon the general health of the j country has been even worse than that of whisky. ! Beeij as an article of ordinary diet has bben discontinued in at least twenty seven pauper lunatic asylums in England, with the result that in no iustanpe has the apparently important changes led to any sort of physical in convenience. Many of the superin tendents in whose asj'lums the modifi cation (was made, and also many of the patients, testify cordially to the benefits of the change. The question, says i he Journal of Met. til Science, is not onte of teetotalism, or even pri marily! of a financial order, but one of pare expediency and good manage ment. The i National Medical association in 1884, in convention assembled, de clared ithat alcohol should be classed with oiher powerful drugs, and when prescribed medically, it should be done with conscientious caution and a sense 6f great responsibility, and it would confine the use of intoxicating liquors) to the uses of science. A Nw York physician says: "I have carefully examined each number of the London Lancet for the last six months, and fail to find the report of one case, out of the many cases treat ed by the best English physicians, in which alcohol in any form was order ed or used. Is it not hih time that the fraternity in this country become equally intelligent?" WHAT SENSIBLE LIKE. WOMEN Sensible women like sober men, and they have good cause to like them. I Wives like sober husbands, because a sober man can be reasoned with. !A sober man is more compan ionable than an intemperate man. Sober men have self-respect, and self respect is! woman's great hold upon men. Sobriety means a comfortable home a house of your own. good clothes! for parents and children, evenings pent at home instead of in the bar-toom, good health and the enjoyment of life, and an elevated view of human responsibility. A sober man is an honor to his wife and children; and people who despise a tippler, respect a sober man. A sober in an becomes a pattern to the young, j an ornament to society, a man in whom communities take pride and wish thiere were more like him. A sober man is appreciated by his friends and family, and even respect ed by h;is enemies, and his reputation and good qualities grow with his years, j On the other , hand, the in temperate man shows in his indulgen ces a fatal, disgraceful weakness of character; and as the habit of intem perance grows upon him, he becomes wretched, degraded, debased, and finally j goes down to ruin, dragging his whdle family after him. THEY HAD MET AT LAST. "Thejre," she said, as she raised a windoWj in a Pullman car the other day; "riow I can breathe. The air in this caif is stifling. Why don't they have better ventilation? If I couldn't sit nextj to a window I believe I should die." Presently a slender female sitting directly opposite leaned over and asked her if she wouldn't just as leave close that window now, as the draft is more than I can stand. "No, madam, I shall not close this window. I could ; not live with it down, j I was I just thinking how de lightful it was with it open; now you want itl shut, but I shall not shut it; so there." "Then yoi are a selfish thing, and I shall have to change my seat." Just then a gentleman sitting close by reached over and said: "Ladies, this window being raised raSkes ho difference, as this car has double windows and not a breath of air can possibly get through the one that is still down." Then the one who had raised the win dow turned to the other with a crush ed look ion her face and said: "Madam, I beg your pardon, but I think two fools have met at last." A Word to Workers. If your avocations are mentally or phys ically laborious, if they subject you to ex posure in inclement weather, if they con fine you to the desk, and are of a nature to involve wear and tear of brain and neryous jstrain, you may occasionally re quire sonie renovating tonic. Hostetter's Stomach! Bitters is the article for you.it stimulates the 1 ailing energies, invigorates the body; and cheers the mind. It enables the system to throw off the debilitating effects off undjLie fatigue, gives renewed vigor to the organs of digestion, arouses the live when inactive, which it very often is with people whose pursuits are sedentary, renews the jaded appetite and encourages healthtul. repose. Its mere dients are safe; and its credentials, which consist in; the hearty endorsement of per sons of every class ot society, are most convincing. Admirably is it adapted to the medical wants or workers. A Newport elderly maiden has her teeth examined by a dentist nearly every week it's the only way she can get hugged. "I Don't Want Relief. But Cure" is the exclamation of thousands suffering irom caiarrn. 10 an sucn we say: Ca tarrh can be cured by Dr Sage's Catanh Remedy. It has been done in thousands 6f cases; why not in yours?
