A small vessel was nearing the shores of the Bristol Channel in a storm, and was in imminent danger of being dashed npon the rocks. Every one seemed to have lost all hope and expected every moment that the ship would strike and founder. The captain stood on deck, his watch in his hand, and his eye fixed on it. Suddenly he cried out, as he glanced across the water. "Thank God, we are saved the tide has turned: in one minute more we should have been on the rocks !' Both captain and crew felt then, as perhaps they never felt before, the value of a minute. He who lifts permanently one family from dependence on charity to a state of self-support does lar more for it and for society than be could with the same amount of money expended in promiscu ous charity.

When others call you "dear" and "fair," And hold your hands and kiss your face, You'll not forget that far above . All other is a mother's love. ; 8ome day, 'Mong strangers in far distant lands. In your new home beyond the sea, When at your lips are baby hands, And children playing at your knee O then, as at your side they grow, How I have loved you, you will know ! Some day, When you must feel love's heavy loss, You will remember other years, When I, too, bent beneath the cross, And mix my memory with thy tears, In such dark hours be not afraid; Within their shadow I have prayed. Some day, Your daughter's voice, or smile, or eyes My face will suddenly recall; Then you will smile in sweet surprise, And your soul unto mine will call In that dear unforgotten prayer, Which we at evening used to share. Some day, A flower, a song, a word may be A link between us strong and sweet; Ah, then, dear child, remember me ! And let your heart to "mother" beat. My love is with you everywhere You cannot get beyond my prayer. JSome day, At longest it cannot be long, I shall with glad impatience wait, Amid the glory and the song, For you before the Golden Gate. After earth's parting and earth's pain, Never to part !

Every young man knows what I true gallantry is, and what it requires of 1 him. He is to honor evry lady, whether I she is rich or poor, and show her every re-J spect. ne is reaay 10 oe to everjr woman I a true knight, ready to defend her from I uuoro t ..iir tiia Aon i!fa n k.. every insult, to risk his own life in ber be- I nan. Now, to whom ought every young man to Bhow the highest, truest gallantry? To whom, if not to his own sister? Have they not the first claim ou his affection? If he is not a true gentleman to his own sisters,can he be at heart a true gentleman to any other woman? Can a young .man be manly aud treat his own sisters with less respect and honor that he shows to other young ladies? He must cousider him self their true knight, whose office it is to throw about them every needed shelter, to serve tbero.and to promote their highest good in every way. Of course, there is no young man with one spark of the honor ot true manliness in his breast,who will not instinctively defend his sister if she is insulted in the street. He will instantly put himself between her and the danger. Neither is there any brother worthy of the name who will not defend the honor of. his sister if vile tongues acperse it. But more than this is required of a loyal brother. He should make himself a wall about his sister to shield her from every evil and unholy in fluence. Every young man knows other young men; he knows their character heir habits, their good aud evil qualities. He knowe those who indulge in strong drink, those who are godless and profane, those whose lives are stained with the filth of debauch ery. Can he be a true brother and permit such a young mau to be the companion of his pure and gentle sister? Can he allow her, in the innocence of her heart, to ac cept the attentions of such a young mau, to lean upon his arm, to look up into his face with trust? Can he 6ee a friendship I forming, strengthening between his sister and such a young man, and remain silent, uttering in her ears no voice ot warning or protest, and yet be a loyal, faithful brother to her? This is a place for plaiu,strong,and earn est words, burely, young men do not think ot this matter seriously, or they would require no argument to convince them of their duty. Put the case in the strongest possible form, and bring it close to home, ion have a sister as pure as a lily. She has grown up beside you in the shelter of the home. Her eyes never look ed upon anything vile. Her ears have never beard an impure word. You love her as you love your owl life. A young man seeks to win her regard and confi dence. He stands well in society, has good manners, is attractive, intelligent. But you know that his secret life is un chaste, that he is the victim of habits which will in the end bring ruin and dis honor. Your sister knows nothing of his true character. Can vou permit him to b come her companion? Are you not bound to tell her that he is not worthy of her (Jan vou do otherwise and be a faithful brother? Besides this standing between his sister and danger, every brother should also show her in his own life the ideal of the truest, purest, most honorable manhood. If it be true that the best shield . a sister can make tor her brother is to tdiow him in herself the loftiest example of woman hood, it is true also that the truest defence a brother can make for bis sister is a noble manhood in his own person. If he is going to shield his sister from the impure, he must not himself be impure. He must show her in himself a high ideal of man hood, that her soul shall unconsciously and instinctively shrink trom everything that is vulear.rude.or evil. Let no brother think that he can be a shelter from evil to his sister, if his own life be not unsullied and true. Irf The pity we feel for a class of young fellows who show that they think they must be propped forever by their kindred or friends, is a little shaded with contempt.

Aug. 24, 1883. lmpd A Reverie Over the Cotton Plant , Last April I thought I would try and grow a few cotton plants in the warden. 1 bad never seen cotton grow before last year. I have spent many years in the cotton business, and seen it manufactured id many forms, but bad never seen it grow, and when I used to open the bales. .nj k.niiia ti... -t . : , ' I aud handle the cotton while going under various- operations, 1 have many times wondered how it grew, and in what form, and on wnat kind of trees it grew, and how it was gathered and packed, and who were the people that did it. And now as my lot, by a peculiar providence, ii . nas ianen in a coiiou growing countrv. 1 was very curious to see it grow, and grown nnder my own care, and a good friend ot mine got me some seed, and I planted a little of it, and now it is in bloom and fruit. And the other day I collected one or two flowers when in full bloom find hrrtllorht. thum iutn mtr r.rm and with a pair of small scissors cut out - - , - . " WUWM V L.. , . . V UJ . the column of stamens from the center ot the flower with the anthers loaded with pollen. v hile holding the stamen bun dle with one band, with a camel hair brush in the other I brushed the pollen on to slip of glass, and it looked like fine yeuow ausi. 1 put it under the micro scope, and looking through the tube saw thou ands of bright yellow balls covered with little sharp pointed projections. Then I secured and fixed the pollen graius on the glass slip, and put them away lor lurther observation. While .ooking at these minute pollen grains, unseen by the naked eye, I wax led to think what great events hng upon little things. Little seeds produce large trees, but these pollen graius are more wonderful than little seeds, for they pro duce the seed. And in these hidden, gol den grains are stored up what enriches the cotton planter, and fills the coffers ot thousands of merchants and manuluctur- ers, and supplies millions with the means of procuring the necessaries oi life, fur- nishing clothing for half the population of the globe, as well as producing innumera ble articles for the common comforts ot life. Wheu clothing is worn out it is sold to the paper maker, and he converts it into a most useful article in commerce; a great part of it goes to the printer, on which he sends forth the thoughts ot good and wise men, and distributes them broad cast among the learned and illiterate. And all this wealth and worth, through a superintending Providence, is dependent ou little grains of pollen, unseen without the aid ol the microscope. Christian Advocate. What an Egg will do. ror burns and scalds nothing is more soothing than the white of an egg, which may be poured over the wou'nd. It is softer as a varnish for a burn than collo dion, and being always at hand can be applied immediately. It is alo more cool ing th m the sweet oil and cotton which wa tormerly supposed to be the surest application to allay the smarting pain. It is the contact with the air which gives the extreme discomfort experienced from the ordinary accident of thi- kind, and anything that excludes the air and pre vents inflammation is the thi.ig to be at once applied. 1 he egg is considered one of the best of remedies for dvsenterv. Beaten up slightly, with or without sugar, aud swallowed at a gulp, it tends, bv its emollient qualities, to lessen the ii.fliin- mauon ot the stomach and intest ines, and, t r - - . .i oy lorming a transient, coating on these organs, to euabl nature to resume her healthful sway over a diseased body. o, or at mosi, three egis per day would be all thai is required in ordinary cases: and since egg is not merely medi cine but food as well, the lighter the diet otherwise and the ameter the patient is kept the more certaiu and rapid is the re covery. A ctton cleaner and feeder for removing sand, stones, leaves, and other reluse Irom seed cotton previous to gin ning, has been patented by r. A. J. Wil Hams, of Macon, Ga. This saves the la bor of picking stonen from the cotton by hand, which is necessary whan it in cleaned only by a fan. As the cotton passes from the feeder it is carried between the beater and the apron, which operation loosens the cotton and permits the stones and sand to fall through openings prepared for the purpose in the -apron. The cotton then passes into a trunk, when it is car ried up by a fan over a suitable roller, while the stones and heavy reluse pass down and collect in a suitable receiver. lhe same mventer has further secured a patent for an improved rib for cotton gins to prevent seeds and other refuse from collecting in the space between the ribs and preventing the proper action of the saws. This improved rib i beveled on the front side and the opening is flared forward toward the upper end, so that the faulty seeds and lint are a!o-ed to slip up and out, thus keeping the space clear aud free. Jfcgr In .Norwich, Uonn., there was re cently an interesting trial to deterraije whether compost is a personal property or real estate, and a iury ot farmer experts j disagreed on the question. A farm is lointly owned by the Chief Justice of the State of Connecticut, and the farmer who resides on it. l he latter removed some loads of manure from the place. The Chief Justice claimed the manure as per sonal property, and the farmer accounted for it as real estate, and upon this differ ence the suit arose. It occupied several days in a lower court, and was left unde cided by reason ot the jury's disagree- ment. Manure from a compost neap was exhibited in a pox for the personal prop erty plea; and manure scraped up trom the farm land was exhibited in a box for the real estate side, and the Yankee farm ers could not come to a verdict upon the character of the two boxes of compost. The case will be referred to the Supreme Court of Errors, where the Chief Justice himself will give the matter bis own judi cial consideration. 8Sf The Louisiana Supreme Court says that hotels are responsible for valua bles stolen from guests, and that warning notices do not relieve them of the responsibility. An Important Point of Law in Regard to 4 Real Estate Sales. It will bo seen from the extract that we quote below from the Washington Star of August 24th that Judge Mackey raises a point of law in regard to real estate sales , we" wonn wowng into in this otate also. . 1 be practice here has been as that is well in Washington to advertise ten dava be fore the sale, but not for ten days consecu tively. It seems to be clear that the pro visions of the law in regard to the adver tisement of sales is to give the same con tinuous publicity tor at least ten days, so that the general public may be fully ad vertised ot the tact : A bill in equity was filed to-day by T. J. Mackey. Esq.. as solicitor for Mrs. M. Brown, to set aside the sale of her house and lot. No, 1310 N street Northwest. which was sold on the 30th of June of the present year, under a deed of trust, given to- the Freedmaos " Savings- and Trust' Company. It is alleged in the bill that such sale was made without compliance with an express condition of the trust deed, which provides that the premises shall be sold 'after the last ten days notice of the time, place and terms of sale by advertise ment in one or more newspapers printed and published in the city of Washington, whereas the sale was made after ad vertise- iug for only four days. It is contracted in the bill that the true meaning and intent of the clause of the trust deed oited are that the property should be advertised for ten days, lhe point is a new one in the Courts of this District, and as the practice has been to regard an advertise ment made ten days before the sale, and appearing on two or three different days, as a compliance with such a requirement in a deed of trust, if this Bale should be set aside on the ground stated, it will doubt less lead to a multiplicity of suits to set a-ide other sales. Judge Hegner haB granted an injunction to restrain the pur chaser, Mr W. B. Moses, from disposseS' sing the plaintiff, Mrs Brown, who re fuses to vacate the premises. Barnwell (A. C.) oenttnet. The Wife's Influence. Two gentlemen, at a large reception in New York last winter, were discussing one. of the foremost politicians of thecoun try, a mau who, whether in office or out, always keeps himself prominently before said one ot the gentlemen, "lie was a mau with a clear head, extraordiary memory, and much personal magnetism, But I cannot understand why he chose public life or has pushed himself forward so persistently, lie was a lazy, thought les, visionary ft-llow, absolutely destitute of ambitiou." "I can tell you the secret," said the other. "You will und it in his wile s nose, j here she is ! did you ever see a more pertect incarnation of energy aud love ot command? Napoleon would have chosen ber for one of his Marshals at first sight." His friend was amused at the guess and said presently: "There is another ol my old class-mates. P. He was a thin, ambitiou, scholarly fellow, with refined tames and hili aims. He now is a fat, indolent animal, without a thought apparently, but his cognao and terrapin, Who l to blame for thai?" "His wife's mouth and her money. I will show ber to vou." He pointed out a grss,voluptuous woman, rich! dieted. "P." he resumed, "lias lived in idleness since his marriage. He was not etro i enough to carry the weight of so much wealth and so much vulgarity. They have borne him down, He will uever rie." Young men at school aud college are very apt to be enraptured with a parkin g eye, a rosy cheek, or some charm ot manner in some young wo man thai they happeu to meet. They are haidiy mailers of themselves; and a moon light night, or a song, suddenly tempts them to ask the enchanting creature who ban bewitched them to share their future. They do not consider that she will be the most real, active force in their idle lives, almost irresistible with pow er to drag them down or to lilt them up in body, mind and soul. Youth's Com panion. Turks and their Horses The Turkish horse is the gentlest crea ture in the world, and also the most capa ble ot attachment to its master or groom. These qualities (we find from "The Life aud Letters of O. G. De Bnsbecq") are the results of the kind treatment they receive from the Turks during their early train ing. I saw, when I was traveling to Cap-' padocia through Pontius, on the part of Bithynia, which is deservedly called Axylos (woodless), what care the peasants take of the foals while they are still quite young and tender; bow they pet them; how they bring tbem into their rooms,and almost to their tables, and bow they han dle them apd stroke them. They seem to regard them as almost their children. The grooms in whose care they are placed treat them with equal kindness, making them fond of them by continuously stroking them, aud never beating tbem with a stick unless they are absolutely compelled to do so. Being thus used, they become ex tremely attached to men, and yet you will not find one which this treatment b&a made a kicker or a biter or refractory. Such vices are seldom met with in this country. But, good heavens, how differ ent our system is from theirs 1 Accord' ing to onr method, grooms generally think it essential to use the roughest words and loudest tones in talking to their horses. and to be forever thrashing them. The consequence is that they qiver all over with terror on their entering the stable, and they regard them with hatred and fear. The Turks like to have them I trained to kneel down at command and so to take up their rider, and to pick up from the ground in their teeth, a stick, mace or a sword, and to give it to their master in the saddle. When they have learned to do these things, as an honor and mark of proficiency, they fit silver rings in their nostrils to show that they have been thoroughly trained. I saw horse who, when his master was thrown from the saddle, would stand by him without moving a step, and others who would go round their groom as he stood at a distance, and halt at his bidding. London Mtve stock Journal, A Taste for Readlne. " ! " The man who has a taste for read in cr has ever the means of happiness within his graap. urive mm nis taste ana the means . of gratifying it, and you can hardly fail in ? making him a happy man, unless, indeed,: you pui into nis nands a most perverse' selection of books. Yon place him in con tact with the best society in every period ot history with the wisest, the wittiest, the tenderest, the ; bravest and - purest characters that have adorned humanity. -Yon make him a denizen of all nations, a. contemporary of all ages. The world has been created for him. It is hardly, pos sible but that character should take a higher and better tone from the constant habit of associating in thought with a; class of thinkers to say the least of it, above the average humanity. It is moral-, ly impossible but that man should take a tone of good breeding and civilization from .having constantly before one's eye the way in which the best bred and best informed men have talked and conducted themselves in their intercourse with each other. Ex, A Death-Roll of Eight Months. The astrologists who seleoted 1883 as a good year for earthquakes, pestilence and acoidents seem to have made a hit. Dur ing the eight months of the year consid erably more than 143,000 lives have been lost in notable disasters, not taking into account the yellow fever in the South. By simply following the big news of the press dispatches the following table of people killed is made up: Loss of the Cimbria, 434 ; Milwaukee hotel fire, 80 ; Poland circus fire, 268 ; Australia mine flooded, 72; Tebicbipa (Cat) railroad accident, 21 ; Flat-boat disaster, N.

Drinking While Eating. Nature never intended for any one to wash down their food while eating. She has wisely placed salivary glands in various places in our mouths; they secrete a fluid for the moistening, besides a chemical action of the food after mastication. This gets the food in a suitable condition for e wal lowing. Drinking every few minutes while eating prevents the usual flow ot saliva; also, it washes it dowu .before it can have a chemical action on certain por tions of the food. One of the most per- nicious habits to . health is drinking sev eral tumblers of water while eating ; bet ter drink warm drinks. The stomach will not digest one particle of food when it has a temperature below 100 degrees ETahreiiiheit: neither will it digest one atom of fod until all the fluid is first ab sorbed. No healthy person ehould drink more than a half pint of some mild fluid while taking food, and dyspeptics should not drink a drop while they are eating, nor for three or four hours after. Ocean Raiting. A raft of timbers intended for spiles was brought from St. John, New Brunswick, to New York city August 26, after a voyage by steam tows of three weeks. The distance is 600 miles, an average of 60 miles per day. The raft, if such it can be called, was 800 feet long and 30 feet wide, drawing about eight feet of water. It was formed by sections of eleven cribs each, containing about 500 spiles of sixty-five feet length. Over and around the sections great chains were wound. Between each cargo there was a wide space to allow free working of the raft in a rough sea. The cargoes weigh about 250 tons each, and it would have cost about $25,000 to bring them to New York by sailing vessels, as the 'boats en gaged in this kind of transportation de manded extra pay on account of the size of the raft. The raft was towed by two powerful tugs. CS? Two Mormon elders began a meet ing a few nights ago in Cometa county, Georgia. The meeting was well attended. Atter singing and prayer,one of the elders began a sermon on the beauties of Mor- monism. He had not spoken long before a gruff voice came from the audience. saying: "Put him out." This was follow ed by a volley of eggs that were not strictly fresh. The missionaries took up their gripsacks and made off, chased by the crowd. They proved to be able run ners, and when they were last seen by their pursuers they were headed toward the west. Public sentiment is in favor of substituting buckshot for eggs in the event of further attempts to make converts in that region to Mormon ism. izu" A very complete filling for open cracks in doors may be made by thor oughly soaking newspapers in a paste made of one pound of flour, three quarts of water, and a tablespoonful of alum," thoroughly boiled and mixed ; make the final mixture about as thick as putty, and it will harden like papier-mache. The praise of an envious man is far less creditable than his censure; he praises only those whom he can surpass, and censures all who surpass him. January 1,1881. 0
