Baring his sleeves from his rigid wriate, Ready to rain viudictire blows; Whose tongue is ready with jibe and jeer To stir up strife wherever he can, Breathing menace and waking fear, Who grows to be a manly man. It isn't the boj who takes his mug Of the horrible liquid labeled beer, Then hangs himself by a silJy bus To the liveliest lamp post standing near. Though he smokes the vile.t cigarette, And lord it orer a blackandtan. Or a gallant horse, I can tell him yet, He's far from being a manly man. It isn't loose speech, nor dresn chat is loud, . - - tt inu't the cut of the coat he may wear; A clown with ease attracts a crowd, And wins a senseless shout and 6tare, He may sport the heaviest watch and chain. With collar and necktie lead the van And flourish the nobbiest hat and cane,' These never make a manly man. Will he think he has come to man's es tate When be feels the down on his feeble chin? Will he think that vices make him great, That only the weak are afraid to ein! Some daj to his foolish heart he will own He might have followed a wiser plan One that will help and one alone, A boy to be a manly man. I know you well, my manly boy, I Know who followed the Golden rule; I know what make you a household joy, A priceless treasure with all at school, I know what comfort wise hearts take, Who do homage with all their clau. They know very well you will one day make A manly, Christian gentleman. Christian Standard, Keep a Clean Mouth, Boys. Selected. A distinguished author says: "I resolved when I was e child never to ate a word which 1 could not pronounce before my mother." He kept; hit resolution, and became a pure-minded, noble and honored gentleman. His rule and example are worthy of imitation. Boys readily learn a class of low, vulgar expression, which are never beard In respectable circles. The utmost care ot parents will scarcely prevent it. Of course, no one thinks ot girls bfcing so exposed to tbia peril. We can not imagine a decent girl using words she would not uc ter before her father or mother. GOOD ROADS. A country without roads will re jaain undeyeloprd , its hidden treas ures tord away. Where poor rcsds prevail ver thintj ols is apt to be poor, the horse, farmer, and tQerchsut. If tvo hnrees haai the load of four, one wagon haul the load of two, one st of harness haul the load of wo, one driver serve for two, and x aiiUs iottead of three be mde ler hoar, the aagrejate saving would double the net income of th? average farmer. Tbie desideratum can oulj b sccompli -shed by the means of joud put-!ic ma.!. The eflVct of good public roads upon land vUuc is to increase the value of sacb lends. Experience has shown that the value of groand is in direct ratio to the good condition of the streets or roads which traverse them. A road system is the means of fa cilitating intercourse. Inte. cominunicatioa is the back bone of business. Good public roads are the primary neccesitua of civiK ized life and national prosperity. Specimen Ca S. H.

PASHIOK NOTES. Selected. Kilted dress skirts have come back to favor. Corkscrew bengalines are new and stylish. Little girls wear dres?y frocks of cualiie, Indian silk and fine reps uniu iney are eacn rour veare old, boyc and girls wear cloaks vtry much alike. The law has been laid down; Short skirts, and only short skirts, are to be worn in the street. A ri? navy blue aerge has a am gin ..red stripe of ueep green, and Is pronounced very stylish. New skirts for the street do not touch the grouud, but house skirts are almost all made with short trains. House slippers of bright red, with full rosettes of black or white rii-. bou, are considered very stylish in dei-d. Frocks of black tull with bod ices of gold oriental silk, are much affected for wear at luforuial enter talnments. Wide brimmed hats, with an abundance of ostrich plume trim. mmg, will be popular for summer wear. Narrow tnlfe plaitings of China crape scolloped with silk, are shown in the new imported dress lengths of crepou. Panel effects are introduced in nevr skirts, and are usually of a con tracting material or else are heuvi embroidered. One of the new idea i a black satin bodice and a skirt of some dark, rich cloth. Indeed, blaek satiu as a waist material if quite (o the fore. Fashion is most kind to children. Seldom if ever have tbey been ao minutely considered by deignb ers, 1ressni;iker!, tailors and pur veyois. Kilt-plaited skirts have reappear ed, and, in fact, the tendency Is to ward floating loose effect, the foiui beiaic no louder incased In sheath-like coverings. The most refined dres;fle for ba bies are of cob-web filminess with richly embroidered yoke and sleeves, aud full skirt with deep bfm and no trimming, not even a tuck. When a net or other lace skirt lias become unpresentable at the bottom, it may be cut off at the kneo ai d worn in UuHsian-blouse fashion over auy house skirt that suits the moment. D reuses that are slightly Roiled at the neck can be made like new by cutting the neck V shape in the front and back, to be worn with a large silk handkerchief in the old style of 1790. White will be very generally worn during the coming summer. Pretty simple dresses of while lin en-lawn, with hemstitched tucks sad heme, will be quite the thing for dainty young ladies. Shot silks are fally as popular as they were last reason, and will prob ably be even more generally worn. The shimmering surface is particu laily effective when seen through Chantilly lace or netting. VViinkled or folded girdles are especially elegant on boue gown?. bat their place is taken for street wear by fitted peasant waists. The latest of these waista or girdles may be made to close at the front, ide or back . r The cornet skirt is of the bell or der, with darta or gathers in front, having the back laid In three, lound, uot pressed down, box plaits that afe not over an Inch and a bait wide at the top and t tpering to twice that width at the bottom. Basques with pointed fronts and dredscoat backs are more generally admired than when they were first introduced. They are particularly artistic when made ot wool goods, and they may have bretells or ber thas of the same or a contrasting fabric. Challies, printed mnslins, fancy China stlkp, and flowered and doU ted snralis will, as a rale, be accom panied by harmonizing plain fab' rics, which wil! be used for puffed sleeves, cape collars, revere, folded beltd, ruffles, ant other decorative adjuncts. Fawn and purple is a popular and styllish combination , A skirt of fawn face cloth, edged with a narrow fold of the velvet trimming, the bodice of the cloth with big sleeves and sore of folded corselet bodice of the velvet and jet com bined, make an exceedingly attrac tive street dress. MODERATE DRINKING 170 nam. S S. Times. Alcoholic stimulants exhsotc the strength of those who are called to prolonged phyeiclal enderscee In ex tremes of heat or cold. What folly therefore, to suppose that io moder ate temperatere there is anv real gain from moderate drinking 1 Lieutenant Greeley testified to tbe acvaolage of total abstinence amou? hie men io tbe Arctic regions arid Henry M. Stanley bore witness to the danger of an? alcoholic drinks in Equatorial Africa. And no Miss Kftte Mareeen, whose remarks ble joarney on sledge and horseback to visit the outcast Siberian lepers is attracting deserved attcutioo. baa a similar story to tell of the value of abstinence and tbe danger of alcohol. She in tbe preface to her uarstive of her journey ? 'I have never taitsa any active part Id pro moting temperance principles, but sow I think that ths record of my ex ertions in Siberia, without tbe aid of .stimulants, may prove as bentflc ial to others as if my voice had been raised io furthering tbe cause for years past. I took no alcohol what ever tboughont the journey, except oo two occasions of great exhaustion when the stimulauts only made me worse. 1 have therefore good ground for recommending abstinence from alcohol where much physicial en durance is necessary' If a man says he drinks wine or wbiekey be cause he likes to, he may be suppos to tell tbesimple truth ; if he save be takes these stimulants in order to meetthe extremes of weather, or to give bim powers of physical endurance, he i to be pitied for not knowing any better, A college athlaU must be a total abstainer while in trainiDg For a contest even if be d.-ioks freely, or moderately, at other times. Yet at that very time his brother, or his father, is, perhaps taking liquor at his meals or between meals, to give bim strength , flo More Drunks For Him. A BIBULOUS HUSBAND CURED CROokED MIRROR, BY A Exchange. A St. Paul Iadv has made a peratc mn of hr husband tovel way. For two or three be was a good deal of a lark. tm ln a years Night afte; night be came home saturat ed. At length one night he reached home so drunk that be went to bed with hie boote on. She resolved aow to cure him at an- cost, and soou had her plans laid. The next aigbt he arrived home very drunk. Tbe followmg morning he arose and looked In the large mirror in his room. His mootn was arawn out of shape, one cheek was a good deal higher than tha other, ar.d both were swolen; one eye wan popping out of his head, and the other was sunken and drawn to twice ite nat ural length ; one ear sat on his neck and the other was aplit aud stood almost on top of bis bead. "Such a hellish picture as that I neyer taw before," mattered he. Then he locked at tua mirror to see ibat it was tfee came he l-fid al ways used. It wa the same frame an , as it was ouut in me waii,' n could not have been chnred. He Callrd his wife into the room. "For God's sake, Alary, what's the Biatter with that roirrorr be aaii. 4Why, nothing that I know of, lear.1 Just look in it 1 See I" She looked In it, and declared that sbe didn t see anything the matter with It. 'My God, I've got 'em," shouted he. "Send for a doctor I" The doctor arrived, pronounced it a clear case, and prescribed. Tee hus band was plaeed in his rife7 bed in another room and lay there a day or two. Before the physician permitt ed bim to be ont again ho pledged her be would never drink again. This was five years ago, and he has kept his pledge faithfully, Bat it is doubtful if be knows that tbe mirror which frightened him so was an imperfect gists, which had been put been pat in the frame in place of tbe plate glass, and that while he was lyiiig in his wife's bed room the plate glass was restored to its place.
