A moment's work on clay tells
more than an hoar's labor on brick.
So work on hearts shonld be done
before tney harden. Daring the
first or eight years of child-life,
mothers have fall sway; and this
is the time to make the deepest
and most enduring impression on
the haman mind. '
; The examples of ;maternal influ
ences ar. countless. Solomon
himself records the words-of wis
dom that fell from a mother's lips;
and Timothy was taught the scrip
tares from a child, by his grand
mother and bis mother.
John Randolph, of Boanoke,
used to say: " I should have been
a French atheist were it not for the
recollection of the time when my
departed mother asod to take my
little hands in hers, and make me

ANerr Salute. -A
new method of saluting ladies
on the street has lately been adop
ted by the noblest swell gentlemen
of tender years. It is done in one
time and four motions. The hat,
by a righthand grasp, is lifted from
the bead, brought forward -on :a
line with the nose and then sudden
ly lowwered to the stomach 1 then,
as suddenly, the hat is returned to
its place, following the, same an
gular ronte. The head at the same
time, must be bobbed forward
about three' inches, and immedi
ately spruDg back to its natural
position. The beauty, and perfec
tion of this salutation depends upon
the rapidity of the execution of its
movements, It is known as the
" Darwin jerk," because hand or
gan monkeys put on and' take of
their little caps with the same cele
rity of motion. New Orleans JFV
