Proper Training.
One among tbe first remembered pro
verbs I can recall to mind i*. "As the
twig ia bent, so tbe tree is inclined."
Another was, "Train up a child in the
Way It should go, and it will uut depart
from it." ''Spare tbe rod and 9poil the
child," etc. All well enough in theory, j
and jet oot in practice. Solomon, who ;
it said to be the author of "train up a
ehiH," etc,, had an Absolom. and we
sail to mind innumerable cases of fathers
who, with all their trainii g and bringing
op, have had their labor all in vail, all
tor naoght, aa their sons often prove the
most worthless loafers of the day.
It is not all in the training or tbe
bringit g up. True, we often see the
tlDoked, misshapen oak, the result of
the blowing of the wind or weight of
fallen timber, yet it is an oak still, and
despite the gnarled, ungainly appearance
of its trunk and limbs, it may throw out
as stout trusses as its neighbors, hence
we say that blood will tell, aud that in
man, as in the vegetable aud aniuial
creation, like begets like in a measure,
and il the true principle is therein in
born ; and unadulterated, il is hard to so
misshape and ohange the individual as
to destroy all traces of it. Education
will do a great deal to shape character ;
training of a healthy, moral nature will
do wonders; but if there is not that fine
prinoiple, that refinement of nature in
herited and inalienable, we will find the
very best people give way to temptation, |
and all our bending and training, all
our efforts lost, or but poorly repaid. I
know this is not a popular belief in this
country; I know it is contended that all
are born free and ei|iial —that blood is i
thought to have little to do with it, and
yet 1 am fully persuaded that almost any
oae will need but little argument to be
convinced of the truth of the old adage, .
"blood will tell." Tkea pewter cup— !
rub, scrub and brighten it up; you uiuy j
even polis'i it until you make it shiue
equal to the silver une. aud ft it is pew
ter, and will be pewter, and tarnish the
very first time it comes in contact with
impure elements, aud will even blacken
if not used at all, just because it is pew
ter ; while the silver will stay bright,
and even if it tarnishes, very little pol
ishing will bring it out all right, aud
being silver, the true uietal is there.
I do not undervalue training—no, in- |
deed. It has much to do with (he gen- j
eral make-up of the individual, and in a
religious and moral point of view is es
sential; and yet a born thief will be &
j»hief still. He may not rob a hen-roost i
if his training and association is good, 
bat he will rob a bank as its president,
or defraud the government as an official
—a sort of reputable steal, yet he is
none the less a thief because the prize is
greater. But, says one, you take from
man his responsibility ; you make him
inherit traits, and then tell him he can
not overcome them. Now what are you
going to do with him ? No, sir ; you are
wrong there. We redouble man's res
m ponsibility. We place upon you the res
ponsibility of the good or evil propensity
of those who come after yon, and we
propose to hold you responsible.
Every man or woman should know
just whvre their weak points are, and
knowing them, should consult the strong
one and cultivate oue while they en
deavor to control the others. If we find
a man whose propensity is to appropriate
the effects of others, and at the same
time his consciousness is large, we should
cultivate conscientiousness and control i
tbe propensity to thieve by removing all
temptation as far as possible. If de-
Itructivencss is large and we can culti
vate the temperament, we thus
K * np not only a healthy system of
training np for the individual, but his
offspring that comes after him. I kuow
whereof I speak when I say that char
acteristic traits are transmitted from one
to another, and they are overcome only
by training and association and avoiding
temptation ; but the principle is there,
and as well might we expect the leopard
to change his spots as the aian his char
.••teristics. There is much iu bringing
np, but often the rod is not spired, in
fact, i« used too much—used until it
•polls all tbe good in the child I would
•fare it altogether, and substitute love
and kindness ia its K'ead. It is all wrong
to suppose jnn wi 1 make s child bf tter
beating and bruising it. No, indeed;
yon may use the nd until you eon vert a
tolerably good temoer into one of de
tuoniac nature. Teach and train your
if child to do right tor the sake of night,
•nd you will have accomplished much
Spare the rod, spare the child.
Who of you would wish to go down
itOlbe grave leaving your child, upon
you have, in you extreme idea of
4irtipiine, carried your rod to extreme,
jiud let him feel that you wcr ■ cruel and
unfeeling? Who does not remember an
i loident of a few years ago wlv re a
minister beat his son to death to make
him say his prayers? How many pa
rents of to day show almost as little
feelit g ! Death, in fact, would be pre
ferable to leaving their children embit
tered against tbeui for all time, convert
ing them into perfect devils. Yon will
never regret being kind or showing kind
ness, no matter to whom or what, and
the more kindness we have, the more
God-like we are. Yea, train np the
child-in the way it should go, kindly,
lovingly; taach it words of kindnea;
let them sink deep into its heart; and
even if disposed to evil, may we not hope
that good will predominate for love's
sake? If we showed a little more oom
mon sense iu precepts and example—if
we appreciated the law of kindness as
we should, the world wonld grow better
blood be better, people belter, and we
should soon have lets of ciime and more
good deeds in the world among man
kind.
A Frightful Famine.
Four provinces in Northern CJiina,
containing a population of more than
seventy millions, are now devastated by
the most terrible famine ever known in
the world. These provinces are, Chihli,
Shausi, Honan, aud Sbensi. They lie
contiguous to the Yellow lliver.or Iloans;
Ho Portions of each of th- se are ex
empt from the destitution which gener
ally prevails The most afflicted province
is Shansi, in which, at last accounts,
three or four millions of people weie
wholly dependent upon the Imperial
Government for their daily food. Ac
counts from this and other of tbe strick
en provinces are simply appalirig. Peo
ple die by hundreds of thousands. Ev.
erything edible has disappeared from the
fuce of the earth; even the green twigs,
grass wild herbs, and the bark of tiees
have been eaten Insects, vermin, and
wild animals have been devoured. As a
last resort, the miserable people have ta
ken to eating earth, this being the only
material eapable of being swallowed
which is left them. There is uo business
no work, and no traffic to keep money in
circulation, and the population prey upon
each other. Man sell their wives, parents,
aud children into slavery in order to get
a little money to take them out of the
famine stricken region. Thousauds die
daily, aud the face of nature seems ac- j
cursed.
Thecauseof thisextraordinur> famine
is a coutinu-il failure of the crops. Tbe
general characteristic of that portiou of
China isthatof a high tible-laud. Dense
forests never covered tbe plateau or the
mountains, though tbeaouthern provinces
were tolerably well wooded. But, until
of late years, there was enough wood
growing on the hillsides to detain the
pnssiug rain-clouds which were precipita
ted upon the plains below. Gradually
this vegetation has beeu cut down, aud
the whole surface of the country is abso
lutely denuded of trees and shrubbery
The inevitable result of this stripping of
the earth's sui face has been a total i-essa
tion of rain-fall. This is n>w tbe thild
season of drought. The crops are usu
ally gathered in May and June. Three
times it bas come to pass that there havo
been no crops to gather. It does not
seem possible that even moderate har
vests will ever return to thise provinces
uotil the earth, aa modified by human
action, shall agaiu be clothed with forests
and thickets. It bas been suggested that
millions of the teeming population of the
faur provinces will emigrate to other
countries, and that a great migration,
the like of which bas uever beeu rceu,
will take place. This is not likely to
happen. The Mongolians of the pre
sent day are not a migratory people.—
They are fatali«tiu, careless of life, and
more disposed to starve in sullen despair
than to travel far for better sustenance.
Of tho ten millions or more now abso
lutely starving to death, very few have
| the means to carry them out of their
i owu neighborhood. As it is, the roads
leading south and west are crowded
with beggars, and these die unaided y
the wayside.— fl J* Times.

Cheek ! Why, that's DO name for it.
He was an itinerant vender of lamp
burners, this one, aud he generally gain
ed his end wherever he was permitted to
enter a house. Yesterday, while travel
ing about the oity, he wandered into a
house in the southern part of town,
where sorrow evidently reigned. The
lamp man, finding the d or open, walked
right in, and there found a poor woman
in tears, with a friend or two trying to
console her for the loss of her husband,
who lay dead io the same room.
''Can I sell you my new patent lamp
burner, ma'am?" said the vender
"No, sir," replied the woman, between
her sobr. "1 don't wish anything of the
kind."
"Please let me explain its beautits,
ma'am," said he, "aud I'm suie you'l
take oue. You see this"—
•'But I don't want it, sir," she said. "I
wish you would go away. Don't you see
my poor dear husband lying here ? Leave
me with my sorrow."
( 'oh ' jves'm, and I sympathise deeply
with you uia'am. Excuse me—l c*u't
keep back these tears. Oh '. ma'uui, if
you only knew what a great consolation
these patent lamp-burners of mine are
on such occasions as these you would not
!be without one a single minute. Why,
uia'aui put one of these in his hand and
it would light hiui through all the dark
ness he has to puss through without any
trouble; and when you come to die,
could hold the lauip for you when you go
to .ascend the golden s'airs."
And that precious scoundrel kept on
io that strain until he had gold half-a
dozen to every tenia!)* in the room.—

Two Ways of Managing.
A correspondent ot the Utica Obser
ver relates the following story. We
hav3 all of us seen cases, which prove
that it way have been true :
"A faruier bought of mc S"me pigs ol
a choice breed, paid a high price, and.
after keeping them a year or two and
breeding them, he cauie to me exclaim
ing : You remember that 1 bought some
of the breed of pigs ot you 1"
" Yes,' I replied, 'nnd how do you
like 'em ?'
•'"Like 'em! Why, I'm disgusieil
with 'em. Can't get 'em up to 300
pounds at 18 months and you said the;
would seals COO."
"'Come, nnd look at mine,'said I. and
he accompanied me to my pen.
" 'Now,' said he, excitedly, 'do you
preteud to say that the pigs you sold me
are of this breed V
" 'I do, the same stock and breed.'
"'Why, you must take me to be an
ignoramus. Come over and see them,
and you'll find 'em as mean, rawboned,
scrawny a lot of hogs as you ever laid
eyes on, and I shall expect you to refund
my money.'
"I went with hiui and found his hngg,
in December, in a pen where the mud
was eighteen inohes deep, into which
their feed (corn in the ear) was thrown
and the only shelter they had, as a Bleep
ing was a few pules laid
across one end of the enclosing, over
which a few boards were laid horixnutaliy,
so that the rains kept the swine drcnchtd
in wet weather. Not a particle of straw
was given them as a bed, and I turned
away, woudering which had the most
common set se, the hogs or their owner
'"Neighbor, said I, 'you ought to be
indicted for cruelty to animals. Can it
be possible that you don't know any bet
ter than to treat your pigs in this way ?
In the firvt place they are bait starved,
as one half the corn ted to them is loi-t
in the mud. and the other half is eaten
with so much filth that it barely keeps
li'e within them. You should lay a
plank over the entire enclosure ; then
you should build a warm sleepiug apart
ment, with a shingle roof, and then feed
| your ho g g on oooked food mostly, but
i never on corn in the ear Corn meal
may do, but it pa)g well to oook it. Get
a furnace kettle that holds frutu iorty to
sixty gallons, set it io bricks and mortar
in an outhouse where there is a chimney,
I or hoild one if you have none, and then
| mix Indian meal with potatoes, carrots,
| parsnips, or beers, and cook altogether,
giving the feed warm *s otten as you oan
conveniently—all they will eat to those
wl o are fattening (the others keep sep
er te) —and, alter following mv advice
for a sea*.[), come to me and report the
re>ult'
"I did not happen to se. this man till
the next Fall, at the Stale Pair, where I
found him with a group of farmers ad
miring souie fine l-oga that they said bad
taken 'the first premium'; sod they were
fine' weighing over 600 pourtds each !
'Whose are they?' I asked. -They are
mine, from stock I bought of you,' re
plied any neighbor, adding : 'I did as
you directed, and I am satisfied now that
the pigs you sold me were tbe pure breed,
just as you represented.'
'■The moral of this result is, tbat it
pay* well to take care of all animals, to
; provide comfortable quarters tor them, to
, give them plenty of straw fnrtbeir beds,
aud to feed thorn in a rational way "

Feople nre getting acquainted—«n 4 those who
am not ought to be—with the wonderful mortta of
that great American Remedy, the
MEXICAN
Mustang Liniment,
FOR MAN AND BEAST.
Thlfllinlment very naturally originated In Ameri
ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such
surprising antidotes for the maladies of herchil
dren. Its fame has been spreading for S3 years, j
until now it encircles the habitable globe.
The Mexican MustUng Liniment Is a matchless
remedy for all external ailments of man and beast.
To stock owners and formers it is invaluable.
# A single bottlo often saves a human life or re
stores tho usefulness of ail excellent horse, ox,
cow, or sheep.
It cures foot-rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub,
screw-worm, shoulder-rot, mange, tho bites and
stings of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every
such drawback to stock breeding and bush life.
It cures every external trouble of horses, such
as lameness, scratches, swlnny, sprains, founder,
wind gall, ring-bone, etc., etc.
The Mexican Mustang Liniment Is tho quickest
cure In tho world for accidents occurring In tho
family, lu the absence of a physician, such as
burns, scalds, sprains, cuts, etc., and for rheuma
tism, nnd stiffness engendered by exposure. Par
ticularly valuable to Miners.
It la the cheapest remedy In the world, for it
penetrates tho muscle to tho l>one, and a single
application Is generally sufficient to cure.
6 Mexican Mustang Liniment Is put up In threo
slses of bottles, tho larger ones being proportion
ately much the cheapest. Sold everywhere.
Is the mont genial ImUiun ever used by
