Those errors are not to be charged upou religion which proceed either from the want of religion or supersti tious mistakes about it. To fill the sphere which Providence appoints is true wisdom; to discharge trusts faithfully and have exalted idea-*, is the mission of good men. A cheerful, happy temper ken* up a kind of daylight in the mind, excludes each gloomy prospect, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity. The constant man looks up to Heaven in full hope, even when it is darkened , as flowers that open with the sun, close not though he be hid by clouds. Do not affect to be witty or in jest so as to wound the feelings of another. So say as little as possible of yourself and those who are near and dear to you. If we would be perfect, we must part with rnuoh that we love, forego much that would be pleasant —not fo flesh and blood alone, but to mind and heart. There Is one noble means of avenging ourselves for unjust criticism; it is by doing still better, and silencing it sole ly bv the Increasing excellence of out work. Energy will do anything that can be done iu the world; and no talent, no circumstance, no opportunities, will make a two-legged animal a man with out it. Blessed be the man who knows how to caper and enjoy nonsense; woe to the man that parted early with his boy hood, and blessed be the man that ent ries his boyhood down latest into lile. Avoid exaggeration. A lady loses as soon as she admires too easi'3 r , and too much. In man or woman the face and the person lose power when they are on the strain to express admiration. Love one human being purely and warmly, and you will love all. The heart in this heiven, like the wander ing sun, seek nothing, from the drop to the ocean, but a mirror which it warms and Alls. We must consult the gentlest manner and soitest reason of address in our ad monishment; our advice must not fall like a violejit storm, bearing down and making those to droop whom ii is meant to cherish and refresh. It must descend as the dew upon the tender herb, or like melting flakes of snow—the softer it falls the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the miuti. SUNDAY. Lie still and rest, iu that serene repose That on this holy morniug comes to those Who have boon buried with the cares that make The sad heart weary and the tired lit art aohe. Lie still and reks give more time to the mastery of such stud.es will cookery take its proper plaee among sciences. These bodies of ours are exceedingly complicated aud deli cate machines, not to he safely tami>ered with Jiy bunglers. A blacksmith can undertake with greater impunity to make a watch, than an ignorant and untrained housewife to build up without knowledge and without skill a symmetrical aud per fectly developed human body. And when the value of these txxhes, not only as physical organisms but as related to mental growth, is fully appreciated, the work of the skilled eook will rank with that of other great scientists, and, more than this, with that of other great philan thropists. It is not extravagant to say that the progress of humanity toward true per fection depends largely on this branch of domestic economy. How much thought, time and study are given now to the projx-r food for fine stock? Here in our own lab oratory extensive analyses of grasses, grains, etc., have been made in order to determine which will most rapidly and healthfully stimulate the growth of cattie aud swine. Surely we owe aa much care to our children as to our herds. It is cer tainly true that just in proportion to the ad vance of any people in civilization will be the advance of care aud skill in the prepa- j ration of food, it is therefore worthy of absorbing study. Health, mental vigor, virtue and happiness depend more closely | than we are apt to imagine on the cook who reigns in our kitchen. The Pkegin to run, and we regularly fish for them until May. When the coil come tlie fishermen go down to Wiginlet, over the beach, and build huts. Then whenever the weather is at all favorable they go outside. There are as many as thirty lioats out at once sometimes. They fish as the old smackers used to fish, with hooks every six feet on the line, let ting the fish hook themselves. The smack ers are those that go out in large smacks, and stay days, and sometimes weeks. They put their catch into as they call them, and take them to Fulton market alive. There is much rivalry betweeu them ami the yawl fishers. The latter do not keep their fish alive, and so when they take I hem to market it is necessary to sell the dead fish first. This hurts the business of the smackers, and last winter they tried to get a law passed that no dead txxi fish should in Fulton market, but they couldn't get it through. I tell you, yawl fishing is hard work. Sometimes we can't go out it is perhaps so cold that ;your lines freeze the minute theyr leave the water. They have to be handled bare-handed, and so frozen fingers follow. I freeze my fin gers regularly every winter." By this time the fishing grounds, alxmt a mile north of the Surf hotel, were reached. There were already several Iniats at anchor, and Sammis's sloop was soon added to the number. The fishing was to lie done by "chumming," a method entirely new to the writer. He watched the fisherman and sajv how it was done. First, Sammis sharpened a rusty hatchet and a rusty butcher knife on a piece of a brick. Wheth er all "chummers" use a brick or not is not known Sammis did. Withthe knife he sliced a piece off of one of tiie hunkers, and cut this piece into small chunks. This was for the hooks, and the hooks were baited. Then, drawing a rude chopping Ixiard from the hold, he placed it by the boat's side, and, placing a bunker therein, he proceeded to chop and mangle it until it was fine. It did i not make a pleasant looking mesa. This was "chum." A handful was throwu over- i Ixiard often, and the tide carried it off. The hooks were thrown in, and they, too, float- , •d back with the chum. "The main thing," £ammis said, hold ing his line with one hand and cutting "chum" with the other, "is to keep the trail of chum unbroken. Tlie fish are soon attracted and follow it and feed on it, There, you've got a bite; pull him along, don't give him any slack; that's right. With immense pride the writer yanked his fish, which was very gamy and made all the fight possible, now jumping clean out of the water, then coming head first for the boat. The hook was baited and again thrown out, Sammis meanwhile cutting "chum" and holding his line in his teeth. A savage bluefish jerked the line from his teeth and made oft with the bait unharmed. Tiie writerpulled in another and lost two. Sammis, with cutting bait and pulling out fish, had his hands full. In less than an hour twenty-eight handsome fish were struggling iu the boat. Suddenly they stop ped biting. "It's slack water," Sammis saul. "They won't bite for an hour or two, until the tide sets out pretty strong. '1 hey're a nice fish, ain't they ? Bui they are perfect gor mandizers. They'll eat just as long as there is anything to eat. I've seen a lot of blue fish get into a school of hunkers, and the water all around would be red with blood. A bluefish would catch a bunker and shake him all to pieces, as a dog shakes rats, and they would bite and snap into the school apparently out of pure deviltry. But we're going to have more nasty weather; the rain aiu't over yet. If you say so we 11 run back. Pity it's so stormy. Come down some pleasant day and I'll give you all the sport you want." A Snake Swat lower. Recently farmer Potts, of Berks county, Pn., was the victim of a terrible adventure. Becoming drowsy he laid under a tree, and while sleeping a snake alioiit nineteen inches in length and of a green color darted into his open mouth and descended into his stomach. After he awoke he experience'! a peculiar and sickening sensation At times he frothed at the mouth, and his eyes almost started from their sockets. A physician pressed his ear to Potts' breast and distinctly heard the movements of the reptile. The victim was required to inhale the steam of boiled milk, which produced a strangling sensation, the snake having made an unsuccessful effort to leave the stomach. Potts was then led under a shed roof and put ou a wagon. A strong rope was bed to a beam aud theu securely wrapped around the legs of the sufferer. The wagon was then pulled away, and Potts was left dangling head down. While in this position he again inhaled the steam of boiled milk. The patient's tongue pro truded and his eyes started. The thick steam flowed into his throat and the suf ferer made a noise as if choking. Then quick as thought the docter saw a head protrude, and seizing it with his naked fingers he quickly pulled and the reptile was dashed into an empty bucket. In a few seconds Potts was lying on the ground nearly dead. He was given some whisky and water and was rubbed with coarse toweling, and finally he seemed to be rest ing easy, lie was carried into the house and put to bed, and light food was admin istered. His throat was very sore, but still he was thankful when he was told that the reptile had been removed. He is slowly recovering. A Kcflned liutcher. Hai kins' daughter returned from Den ton's butcher shop, laid a steak upon the table and said: "That's the most refined butcher I ever met. I asked him if this steak was tender, and he said, 'Oh! so beautifully tender, as the maiden in the first blush of love, a steak fit to be classed with tender, and hallowed associations, aud one likely to be devoured by so fair and beautiful a maiden.' " llarkins pushed the glasses up on top of his head, looked at the girl, and then thundered: "What under the canopy was that fellow giving you?" Aud, as her color came and went, she re plied : "Giviug me taffy, I suppose." , P OSTAGK stamps must not be used more than once. To go through the malls a letter must bear the stamp of originality. Something About Curls. Evary man has noticed, and every man of taste hits been disgusted with the flat curls, which many women wear upon their forehead, giving them jis artificial and un attractive an appearance as anything of equal dimensions can. These curls are kept in place, it seems, by gumming the .hair with bandoline, a preparation of quince seeds. In consequence of its demand for this purpose the import&tion of quince-seeds has largely increased. The seeds used to te admitted free as seeds for medicinal use, but beiug now employed as an aid to the j toilet, a duty ol twenty percent, advalorem has been put upon them. It is not the pro vince of the Secretary of the Treasury to regulate the national taste, but if he had made the seeds pay one-hundred per cent, or any amount of duty sufficient to prevent the manufacture of bandoline, and the mak ing of those odious curls, be would have done a public benefit. But, neither he nor any other man, nor any public laxly, can hinder women who are so resolved, from disfiguring themselves. If they had not bandoline they would get something else, for they seem determined to wear the hid eous curls. W hen we remenil>er that the entire sex are absorlK*! with the question i of how to make themselves look best, it is impossible to understand why they take such 1 pains to produce the opposite effect. It is i their ignorance, of couise, which is at fault, and their ignorance seems to be unconquer : able. Take them for all in all, American women have as much taste as any women in the world, and yet a great many blindly adopt anything labeled as fashion without thinking whether it be fit or unfit. Fashion will at any time drive tbetn into any ab surdity. It makes thousands, who might appear to advantage by consulting common sense, nature and their own needs, appear unattractive, and often renders them ridi culous. Fashion, Indeed, as commonly re presented, is more a deformer than a beauti lier, and always will be, until women, re fusing to accept its autocratic behests, study the principles of pure taste, which are. radically, always the same, and whose basis is the becoming. * A Story of steel f'eun. Few persons who use steel pens on which is stamped •'GilloU* have any idea of the story of suffering, of indomitable pluck and persistence which belong to the placing of that name on that article. A loug depres sion in trade in England threw thousands of Sheffield mechanics out of work, among them Joseph Gillott, then twenty-one years of age. He left the city with but a shilling in his pocket. Reaching Birmingham, he went into an old inn and sat down upon a wooden settle in the tap-room. His last penny was spent for a roll. He was weak, hungry and ill. He had not a friend iu Birmingham, and there was little chance that he would find work. In his despond ency he was tempted to give up, and turn beggar or tramp. Then a sudden fiery energy sietsed him. He brought his fist down on the table, declaring to himself that he would try and trust in God, come what would. 11c found work that day in making belt buckles, whicn were then fashionable. As soon as he bad saved a pound or two he hired a garret in Bread street, and there carried on work for himself, bringing his taste and his knowledge of tools into con stant use, even when working at hand-made goo for oil and bone. He was bought by 8. 8. Swift & Co. of Prov incetown for S6OO, and was towed by one of Boston's biggest tugs to New York, which took four days and nights, and cost $450 for toypage. When captured twenty barrels of herring were taken out of him. This is the largest whale ever exhibited m the United States. This whale was struck by a bomb lance. A bomb lance is filled with dynamite, which explodes when it strikes the blubber, killing the whale." "It's a finback," said the man in the rubber contemptuously. "I've bean a whaler twenty-five years and 1 never took one of them fishes, though many's the chance I've had to do rt. Why not? * I they can run like the devil, and they al- * ways do when they're stmcks This one was sick or they'd never have gcflt him There aim no oil in him to speak of —no finback ever had mor'n fifteen barrel In him. I'd sooner catch a black fish. Big? Pshaw! He amt nothing alongside of a right or a sperm whale. It's a good spec, though. They paid S7OO for him; took in more than that in the first two hours." Indian Longevity* There is an Indian woman now living at Jo*hia Peters'a, near San Luis Key, Cali fornia, who is at least one hundred and twenty-four years of age. Many years ago her hair turned snowy white, but within recent years it has undergone renewal, and is now as black as a coal. She is now in her second childhood—speaks and lisps, and lias all the mental characteristics of a child. Some fifteen years ago this woman's mem ory was good, and she recollected and told distinctively of the time when the .Mission Fathers began building the San Diego Mis sion and tried to civilize the Indians. At that time—l769—she was a young woman, and living witn her tribe near the Valfe de loe Viojaa The missionaries sent their soldiers and vaqueros after the Indians "to corral them and bring them into the mis sions, and treated the Indians with great severity and cruelty. The old woman used to relate that one of these vaqueros threw a lasso ever to catch her, and in se doing strangled to death the infant that she was carrying on her back. W. B. Couta and other old residents of San Luis Key know this venerable woman well, have often lis tened to her relations of past times, and are perfectly convinced that she is one hundred and twenty-four yeais old. KafHiißtan. , Surgeon-Major H. W. Bellew, of the British Army, has lately collected from native authorities some useful information respecting Kaffiristan, that interesting country which no European has so far suc ceeded in exploring. It appears that It is, after all, only about 150 miles in length by 50 or 60 in breadth, and its boundaries may be taken as the Hindu Rush on the north, including both the northern and the south ern slopes, from laitkoh Darra on the east to the Farajgal Valley on the range sepa rating it from Panjshir on the west; the Chitral river, down to Chaghansarae, or even Kunar, on the east, forms its limit in that direction, while the southern boundary may be taken to be a line from Dora Nur on the east to Tagoa on the west; and on the west it is bounded by the Nijrao and Panjashir Valleys. The whole area is mountainous and furrowed by a succession of long, winding valleys, each of which has its own system of branches and glens rami fying into the recesses of the mountains. From information which Dr. Bellew derived from a native of the country there appears to be "nowhere room to gallop a horse." Ynuug Farmer*. The Chadd's Ford, Pa., Club, wishing to encourage the young folks to a study of the best methods of farming, &c., has offered a handsome lot of prizes to Chester and Delaware county boys of seventeen years and under, who shall raise the largest number of bushels of corn ou one-eighth of an acre of land in the year 1880. The contestants are to be allowed to do as they please about manuring, hoeing, but are to keep a record of what they do and the cost, and report at the end of the season. Similar prizes are to be offered to the girls of the two counties who shall make the best butter. The butter and the corn are to be exhibited together. Such trials of skill are calculated 10 do a great deal of good b> directing the attention of the young folks to a study of the conditions necessary to the achievement of the best results* A Good Deal Mixed. A short* time ago an enterprising fe male did a flourishing business in this countrs by taking orders for corsets. A flutter has been caused among the ladies by it being reported that she was a man cleverly disguised for the purpose. It is said that she has been arrested for masque rading in this maimer by a peace officer, who apprehended him and took her before a magistrate, where he was accused of passing herself off on an unsuspecting com munity as a gentle member of the female persuasion. If he could escape, she had better keep clear of this town, or he'll get every hair of her head pulled out by the ladies who patronized him , purchased her confounded corsets, and helped him to earn a subsistence for her family. Oh! pshaw? we give it up. Our pronouns have got mixed, but what we mean to say is that she deserves to have his ears boxed, NO. 19.
