"Chtckadeo-deo I don't you wish they would go?

"That some of Ihoso dreadful children know

Tho most delicate, tho most sermblo of all
pleasures, consists in promoting the pleasure
of other's.
Everybody now a-dnys is a "lady or gentle

Ono of tho sadest things about human na
ture is, that man may guido others in the
path of lifo without walking in it himself ;
that ho may be 11 pilot and yet a castaway.
The opinions of the niisnnthropliic.il rest
upon this partial basis that they adopt tho
bad faith of a few as ovidenco of tho worth
Iessuess of all.
AVci seldom repent of spcalcing little, very
often of speaking too much. A vulgar nnd
trito maxim, which all tho world knows, but
ono which all tho world docs not practice.
Tho gibbet is n species of flattery to tho
lrtiman race. Thrco or four persons nro
hung from time to time to mako the rest be
lieve they aro virtuous.
IJecchcr says that "nono of his photo,

Having frequently asked his father to buy
him a jack-kuifo, and receiving for a final
nnswer, "If you speak to me on that subject
again, I'll whale you," he went straightway
to his mother, crying as if his heart would
break, and said : "I can't never bo as good
as Gcorgo Washington with Buch a dad as
I've got."
Some people continue under such gross
and habitual sclf-deccptio thnt tho most
blundering observer of human nature can
understand them better than they do them
selves. Thero aro persons who havo so ac
customed themselves to nil tho arts and
tricks of falsehood that to gain a plain end
in a plain way would bo to them as tasteless
and insipid as warm water.
Ono day you will bo pleased with a friend,
and tho next day disappolnttd in him. It
will bo so to the end ; and you wiist mako
up your mind to it, and not quarrel, un
less for very gravo causes. Your friend,
you havo found out, is not perfect. Nor aro
you ; nnd you cannot expect to get much
more than you givo. You must look for
much weakness, foolishness, nnd vanity in
human nature; it is unhappy if you nro too
sharp lu seeing them.
At tho resurrection of our Lord thero
were "about five hundred" Christiana, (I Oor,
10:0.) At tho first feast of l'cntccost they
numbered about thrco thousand souls ; nt the
cud of tho first century they were estimated
at about five hundred thousand; under the
first Christian ruler, Constantino tho Great,
nt about ten millions ; at tho first milleniuui
(A. D. 1000), nearly fifty millions ; at tho
first, Reformation, nearly one hundred mil
lions ; and now, not far from tho end of the
second millenlum, they number Bomo four
hundred millions.
Mrs. Stanton thinks that if tho womeu do
not accomplish to much as men, there is
good reason for it. Sho is not dressed to
work, but to kill. Hen do not appreciato
tho beauty of woman's attire. Sho says :
"Tako a man und pin thrco or four largo table-cloths
about him, fastened back with
elastic and looped up with ribbons ; drag all
his own hair to tho mlddlo of his head and
tlo it tight, nnd hair-pin on about five pounds
of other Imlr, and a bow of ribbon. Keep
tho front lockd on plus all night, and let them
tickle his eyes all day; pinch his waist into
n corset, nnd glvo hint gloves a size, too small
nnd shoes ditto, nnd a lint that will not stay
on without a torturing clastic, and a frill to
ticklo his chin, and u llttlo laco veil to blind
his eyes whenever ho goes out to walk, mid
ho will know what woman's dress is."
SgasonAdle Hints. Tho Scientific Amer
ican says: If inosquitos or other blood
suckers infest our sleeping rooms nt night,
wo uncork a bottle of tho oil of pennyroyal
and theso animals lcayo In great haste, nor
will tboy return so long us tho room is load
cd with tho fumes of that aromatio herb If
rnts enter tho cellar, a litllo powdered potash
thrown into their holes or mixed with meal
mid scattered In their runways, never fulls
to drlvo them away. Cayenne pepper will
keep tho buttery and storeroom free from
nuts and cockroaches. If a motiso makes nu
entrance into nny part of your dwelling, sat
urato a rug with rayenno in solution, and
stuff It into tlio hole, which can then bo ie
pnlred with cither wood or mortar. No rat
or mouso will cat tlio rug for tho purposo of

Family Festivals.
It Is qulto clear that wo American get far
Ic.'s enjoyment out of lifo than wo might.
We dill miller from tlio ctl'ccts of our I'tirl
tnulcal origin, nnd although wo mar hr,t
abandoned tho theory that pleasure is neces
sarily a sin, wo still cling to the practice of
eschewing it. Wo may not hilt, as u once
did upon obedience to thecloTsnth command
iiient "Thou shnlt not eatmlnca pic, fldd
eil by tho 1'ralso Uod Jlarebones to thi Pec
aloguc but 'wo touch tho once forbidden
pastry, or indulgo in tho Innocent pleasure
of which jt Is hero tnken as tho symbol, too
rarely, and seldom without fer And trem
bl I ng.
Not content with crnsing from tho calen
ilar all tho saints' days and holy fc am:
festivals which were so manj pleasant nnd
wholesomo reminders that man was not
mailo for work alone, wo have rcdncsd on
national holidays to two or three in tl e year
at the utmost. The luff war, with He many
days of glory, has not apparently lefi us
singlo ono for a perpetual anniversary of ecl
cbratlon. As for family festivals they seem
to bo in n fair way of being abolished nlto,
gether. This we think nu Imprudent con
cession to tho drudgery of life.
Wo might learn a useful nnd charming lc
son from our foreign friends, nnd especially
from tho Germain. Thcso contrlvo to make
their homes constant scenes of cheerfulness,
Kvcry domestic event Is turned by them in
to an occasion of joyous demonstration
Tho celebration of tho ba tisms and cliri?
cningj, birthdays, and silver and golden wed
dings, nnd other family events, makes lifi
Germany a perpetual holiday. This docs
not, as Mime might suspect, rcuder the Gcr
man an idle, devil-may-care person. Hi
prominenco in every country as a man of in
dintry, cntcrpriso and thrift proves tlio con
trary. This exuberance of domestic joy
serves rather to lubrtcato his energies, and
render him capablo of bearing the rubs
life without wear and tear.
It is surprising also how much hearty en
joymcnt tho Germans manago to get for
small expenditure of money. These family
festivals are made up of but very few articles
purchased in shop or market, but of a great
deal of sentiment of homo production.
bouquet of flowers a cake, a toy or a trinket
is nil that costa money, tho rest is generous!
suppliod by affection and good-will. What
timo may bo thought by our parsimonious
calculators wasted in these homo festivals
should bo rather estimated m gained. The
strength given to tho domestic auections, and
tho positive increaso of social happiness by
this practice of cultivating tho innocent
pleasures of home, aro sufficient to commend
it. Apart, however, from these, it has the
further advantage of indirectly cconomizinj
timo. The spirits aro refreshed by theso pe-
nodical intermissions from work, and th
mind and Imdy so invigorated that they
mora than make up, by increased willingness
and capacity for labor, for all tho time spent
in theso innocent and wholesomo family fes
tivnls.
The Mission of tlio Hoiuo Fly.
Tho fly when it alights rubs its hind leg!
together; then each hind leg is passed over
a wing; then tlio same operation is perform
od with tho foro legs; and then, if you will
observo elosely, you will seo Mr. Fly pass his
trunk or proboeis over his legs and about his
body as far as ho can reach. The trunk tcr
minatc3 in two largo lobes which spread out
whon the insect begins a meal, and is capa-
bio of being drawn back rapidly ; but thougl
thus constituted it is not fitted for licking
but simply for grasping and drawing up food
What tho fly does by flying around and then
alighting and going through tho manamvers
described has at length been successfully 111
vostltrated and decided bv an Entrlish cliein
1st named Emerson, who carried out his work
oy the aid of a powerful microscope. He
relates that when he first conceived tho idea
of making tho investigation he captured
fino specimen and glued its wings down to a
niicrpscopo slide. On placing tho slido un
dor the instrument ho found to his disgust
that tho fly appeared to be covered with vcr
miu. Ho tried several others, which wcro
likewiso covered with lice, and this curious
coincidence led him to a still further invest!
gation. Why wcro the flies thus nlllicted, or
was it an nllliction? Watching ono of the
flies fastened on the slide more closely he ob
served tlio creature extend its proboeis and
swcop it over its body, as if it had just alight
ed. Wherever tho lice were tho trunk went
they were disappearing within its recesses
tho fly was actually eating tlicnil At first
ho thought this vermin the fly's progeny, but
further iiivsitiation disproved this.
Mr. Emerson took a pieco of white paper,
on which tivx) flies had alighted and were
licking tlieinnelves, and putting it under the
instrument found somo of the little creatures
had fallen oil crumbs from tho table, so to
speak. Ho then took the paper, went into
tho kitchen mid waving it round his head
taking care that 110 flics touched it during
tlio operation, went back to tho microscope
and there found animalcule) tho same as
thoso found 011 tho flics. Hero he had some
thing definite. They wcro not tho prog
eny of tho fly, but animalcules floating in
tho air. The body of the fly is covered witl
a coarso long hair, nnd its quick motions
servo to talro them up, as tlio hairy mouth o
tho whalo takes up the animalcules of tho
tea. When no gets the net full tho fly re
tires to his favorite recess on tho window sili
or In a quiet corner, and then proceeds tode
devour his least of soft-shell crabs. Mr.
Emerson continued his investigation in a va
riety of places, and th more dirty and filthy
tho place and tho more fictid tho odor per
vading it, tho richer tho harvest ho found tho
flies had mado in the animalcule line.
Whilo tho flies captured in such filthy
places wcro usually fat, and plethoric, nnd
happy, tho files found in clear and well-ven
tilated apartments wcro so lean and mlseM
bio that when a spider caught one of them in
his "parlor" ho immediately kicked it out as
not fit to eat. Wherever filth existed, cvolv
Ing germs that might generate disease, there
Mr. Lmerson observed tho files wero most at
traded, and there they covered themselves
with tho minuto organism which they greed
ily devoured. From this can bo deduced
tho conclusion that whilo tho mission of
hou.'o flies Is ono of immense importance to
man, their prrrenco in immense numbers,
whilo it indicate unhealthy exhalations, also
guarantees immunity from dlseaso to some
extent. Of courso tho houso ily which has
a penchant for bald heads, and lights 011 tho
skin only to puncture i,t nnd draw blood is
not hero taken into nccount. Such files
should not rccclvo any credit, even If they
deserve it.
Thero nrs few wild beasts more to bo
dreaded than n communicative man with
nothing to communicate.
Superstition changes a man to a benst, fa
naticism makes him n wild beast, and des
potism a beast of burden.
There is a lady in New York who will not
permit her children to eat anything of wnlch
Indian meal constitutes an Ingredient, for
fear that it will mako them savage. It must
bo tlio sumo lady who would not let her chil
dren eat spinach for fear it would mako them
green,

Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing
which ii At
onco agreeable,
licalthj, and
effectual f 0 r
jircserring tho
, iiiiir. It soon
restores faded
or gray hair
to it original
color, with tho
qlost and freshness of vouth. Thin
hair is thickoned, falling liair checked,
nnd hnMncs oflonthongh not kltrrtys,
curod by its nso. Nothing can rcstoro
tho hair whero tho follicles nro do
utroycd, or tho glands ttrophicd nud
decayed; but such ni remain can bo
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into acUrity, so that a now
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling tho hair with a- pasty eedi
mont, it will keep it cloan and rigorous.
Its oco.aiional uio will proront tho hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently provent baldnoss. Tho
restoration of vitality it gives to tho
scalp arrests and provonts this forma
tion of dandruff, which is often so un
cleanly and offonsivo. Froo from thoso
deleterious substances which mako
somo preparations dangerous and inju
rious to tho hair, tho Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
meroly for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing olso can bo found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dyo, it does
not soil whito cambric, nnd yet lasts
long on tho hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustro, and rt grateful porfuino.
