How She Cured Him.
'"AYTHAT brings you here, Mary ?"
f said Truendu.ll to his wife, as
site entered the liquor shop.
" It is very loncsomo at homo, and your
business seldom allows you to bo there,"
replied the meek but resolute wife. "To
mo thcro is no company like yours, and
as you cannot come home to mo, I como
here to you. I have a right to sharo your
pleasures ns well as your sorrows."
" But to como to sueh a place as this !"
expostulated Tom.
" No place can bo improper where my
husband is," said poor Mary. " Whom
God has joined together, let no man put
asunder."
" Surely you are not going to give that
stuff to the children," cried Tom, as she
was passing tho glass of liquor to them.
"Why not? You sny that you drink
to forsot sorrow, and surclv I have sor-
f tow to firgct."
" V oman I omnn I you are not go
ing to givo that stuff to tho childreu,"
cried Tom, as she was passing tho glass
of liquor to them.
"Why not? Can children havo abet
ter example set them than their father's ?
Is not what is good for him good for
them also? It will put them to sleep,
and they will forget that they ore cold
and huugry. Drink, my children ; this
is fire, and bed, and food, and clothing.
Drink ; see how much good it does your
father."
With souio reluctance, JIary suffered
her husband to lead her home, and that
night ho prayed long and earnestly that
God would help him to break au evil
habit, and keep a newly formed but firm
resolution.
His reformation was thorough, and
Mrs. Truesdall is now one of the hap
piest of women, and remembers with a
melancholy pleasure her first and last vis
it to the dram-shop.
A Good Wife.
Tho following sentences from Arch
bishop Seekncr's " Wedding lling" aro
worth reading twice:
" llast thou a soft heart ? It is of
God's breaking. Hast thou a sweet wife!1
Sho is of God's making. Tho Hebrews
have a saying, 1 lie is not a man that
hath not a woman." Though man alone
may be good, yet it is not good that man
should bo alone. ' Every perfect gift is
from above." A wife, though she bo not
a perfect gift, a beam darted from tho
Sun of Mercury. How happy are those
marriages wliero Christ is at the wedding.
Let uono but those who havo found fa
vor in God's find favor in yours. Hus
bands should spread a mantle of charity
over their wives' infirmities. Do not put
out tho candle because of tho snuff.
Husbands and wives should provoke one
another to love; und they should love
one another, notwithstanding provoca
tions. Tho tree of love should grow up
in the midst of the family, as the tree
of Ufa grew in the garden of Eden.
Good servants are a great blessing ; good
children a greater blessing; but a good
wifo is the greatest blessing ; und such a
help lot him seek for that lacks ono ; let
him sigh for that hath lost ono ; let him
delight iu that enjoys one.
Practical Falsehoods.
Lies of action are blood relation to lies
of speech, and oral lies constituto a small
share of the fulsohoods in the world.
There are lies of custom and lies of fash
ion lies of padding and lies of whale
bone lies of the first water in diamonds
of paste, and uublushing blushes of lies
to which a shower would give a difl'eront
complexion ; the politician's lies, who,
like a circus-rider, strides two horses ut
once tho coquette's lies, who like a pro
fesssor of legerdemain, keeps six plates
dancing at a time lies sandwitched be
tween bargains lies of livery behind re
publican coaches, iu all the pomp of gold
band and buttons lies of red tapo and
scaling wax lies from the cannon's mouth
lies iu tho name of glorious principles
that might make dead heroes clatter in
their graves Malakoffs of lies, standing
upon sacred dust, und lifting their auda
cious piuaclcs in tho very height of the
eternal heuven. Uhupin.
JteiSf Recently, in piayer meeting, a
strong man, who had just begun the
Christian life arose and said, in regard to
his skeptical difficulties : " I was like a
mun in plain highway, looking toward
tho pluco ho desired to reach, who on see
ing a blind path diverging from it, should
stop und refuse to go further until he
know where that by-path would lead.
His course was right onward, and tho by
path no concern of his. It is just so in
respect to the way to heaven. I was try
ing to explore? tho secret things of God ;
but now have found, and intend to walk
in the King's highway to glory."
ttirlt is an old saying that charity
begins at home; but this is uo reason why
it should not go abroad; a man should
live with the world us a citi.eu of the
world ; he muy have a preference for the
particular quuttor, or sphere, or even el
ley, in which he lives, but ho should have
a generous feeling for jhe welfare of the
whole.
SCIENTIFIC HEADING.
Malioganj Cutting.
OV all occupations known to man, that
of tho mahogany cutter is perhaps
tho wildest in its nature, and among the
most systematic in its arrangements.
When the cutter has fixod upon the val
ley of some river as the field of his oper
ations, he makes a depot for storing pro
visions, nnd for securing and embarking
the wood. Hero ho maintains a fleet of
pitpans for carrying supplies and keeping
up relations with tho "works" proper, the
sites of which are determined by the
abundance of trees, their accessibility, and
tho means that exist for feeding the cattle
which it is necessary to use iu "trucking"
tho wood. To these points it is often ne
cessary to drive tho oxen through thick
and untracked forests, and to carry the
chains and trucks, by tho means of small
boats, against strong currents, or over
shallows and rapids, which are only sur
mounted with infinite labor.
Tho site once definitely fixed upon, tho
next step is to erect temporary dwellings
for tho men a task of no great difficulty,
as tho only requisite is protection from
the sun and rains, which is effected by a
roof thatched with long grass from the
swamps, or with "cahoon" leaves, on the
brunches of tho thatch-paltn. A ham
mock swung between two posts, two stones
to support his kettle, and tho hut of abutter
is both finished and furnished!
Tho mahogany scason,'which lasts some
months, commences in August of each
year, it being the opinion of cutters that
tho wood is not so apt to split in falling,nor
so likely to "chock" in seasoning, as when
cut from April to August, in what is
called "tho spring." Furthermore, by
commencing at this period, tho cutter is
enabled to get down his wood, und pre
pare it for trucking, by the setting in of
the dry scusou.
The laborers aro divided into gangs or
companies of from 20 to SO each, under
tho directions of a leader styled "a cap
tain," who directs the men in his com
pany, assigns them their daily tasks, and
adds to or deducts from their wages, in
proportion as they accomplish more or
less than what is supposed to bo a just
day's work. Each has also one person
connected with it who is called a hunter,
whose duty it is to search tho "bush" for
trees proper to cut. His work, therefore,
commences somewhat earlier than that of
tho others, and, us it involves activity and
intelligence, he is paid much higher
wages than the mere cutters. His first
movement is to cut his way through the
thickest of the woods to some elevated
situation, where he climbs the tallest trees
ho finds, from which he minutely surveys
the surronding country.
Around Belize tho mahogany-cutters
aro chiefly negroes, descendants of tho
slaves who were formerly employed there.
But in Honduras they are principally
Curibs, who, in activity and strength, are
said to excel negroes; they are also more
intelligent aud require less care and su
perintendence. Many of them go annu
ally to Belize and hire themselves for tho
season, returning to their homes at its
close.
Instructions for the Erection of Lightning
I tods.
1. Tho rod should cousist of round iron
of about one iueh in diameter ; its parts,
throughout tho whole length, should bo
iu perfect uietalio continuity, by being
secured together by coupling ferrules.
2. To secure it from rust the rod
should be coated with black paint, itself
a good conductor.
o. It should tcrminute in a single pla
tinum point.
4. Tho shorter and more direct the
course of tho rod to tho earth the better;
bendiugs should be round, and not formed
in acute angles.
5. It should be fastened to tho building
by iron eyes, and may be insulated from
these by cylinders of glass; (I don't, how
ever, consider the latter of much import
ance.) 6. Tho rod should bo connected with
the earth in tho most perfect manner pos
sible, aud nothing is better for the pur
pose than to place it iu metallic contact
with the gas pipes, or better, the water
pipes or tho city. The connection muy
be made by a ribbon of copper or irou
soldered to the end of the rod at one of its
extremities, and wrapped around the pipe
at the other. If a connection of this kind
is impraeticablo, the rod should be contin
ued horizontally to the nearest well, and
then turned vertically downward until
tho end enters the water as deep as its
lowest lovol. The horizontal part of the
rod may be buried in a stratum of pounded
charcoal and ashes. The rod should be
placed in preference, on the west side of
the building. A rod of this kind may bo
put up by an ordinary blacksmith. The
rod iu question is in uccordauoe with our
latest knowlcdgo of all the facts of elec
tricity. . Attempted improvements on it
are worthless, and as a general thing, aro
proposed by those who ure but slightly ac
quainted with the subject.

A "Whcel-barrow Game.
fc 6 TT is related of Girard that when
JL a young tradesman having bought
of him and paid for a bag of coffee, pro
ceeded to wheel it homo himself, the
shrowd old merchant immediately offered
to trust his customer for us many bags as
ho might desire. The trait ot character
revealed by the young mau in being his
own porter, had given tho millionaire con
fidence in him nt once. His reputation
was made with Girard. He became a
favored dealer with tho cntrcprising
merchant, throve rapidly, and in tho end
mad a fortune" Exchange.
That sort of thing might have worked
well enough with old Girard, but it don't
fool nnybody now. I have tried it. 1
bought half a pound of tea at Pcnderry's
tho other day, after reading tho above
paragraph, and wheeled it home in the
most ostentatious manner, to seo if Pen
derry, who was looking on, wouldn't offer
to trust me for all the tea that I wanted,
but ho didn't. On tho contrary, I over
heard him speak up sharp to a clerk as
I went around the corner asking him if
" that tea was paid for ?"
I afterward took a wheelbarrow and
went to a flour Btoro on Central Avenue.
Bought a small bag of flour, twenty-five
pounds, I thi nk, and loaded it on. The
head of tho concern looking at mo with
apparent interest.
" Now," I thoughiifcjf is my opportunity.
This is a Girard feller. Ho will tell mo
to come and get all tho flour I can wheel
away aud pay when I get ready. Per
haps he will offer me a partnership in his
store."
Then I spat on my hands and whipped
them over my shoulders to encourage u
vigorous circulation, rubbed them togeth
er smartly, and clutching tho handles of
the barrow started off at a brisk trot. I
had proceeded about a square when I
heard some ono shouting after me.
I looked around and saw the flour man
coming on a dead run.
"Ha, ha!" thought I, "tho thing
works admirably. Tho example of Steve
Girard is not lost. I havo revealed a
truit of character in being my own porter
to say nothing of my beer, and my
fortune is made. The flour and feed
man recognizes merits, nnd comes to offer
mo a partnership.
As ho approached I saw he had some
money in his baud. " He is at least," I
said, "going to return mo my money."
Thcro was a severe look on his face as he
came up to mo, which did not accord at
all with what I had pictured Girard's
countenance to havo worn when he gave
the carte blanche for coffee.
Whilo reflecting that it might bo " Lis
way," he said : " Sir, I want you to go
right back to my store."
" It is coming now," though I did not
quite like his tono. " Wheelbarrows are
about to receive their reward. He is go
ing to offer mo a partnership; perhaps to
turn over his entire business to me." I
was consequently elated.
Then I said to the flour and feed mau,
just as though I didn't know, you
know, tho clever things he meant to do
for me, "May I inqurire for what pur
pose, sir ?"
" Certainly you may," he replied, frown
ing worse than ever. " You shoved this
one dollar counterfeit bill to my clerk, and
you must como back till I get a policeman.
Oh ! you neod't try to look so innocent! I
'spicioned you when 1 saw you couiiug
rouud to my store to get such a little jag
o' flour as that. Watched ye to see ye
didn't steal notluti'. You see you can't
fool an old hand like me."
Here was a turn in affairs that would as
tonish old Girard himself. I tried to ex
plain. Assured him that I supposed the
note to bo genuine Ho was incredulous
for a time, and was disposed to have me
locked up and the wheelbarrow detained
as a witness, but finally let mo off on my
redeeming tho note.
The wheelbarrow business is all a hum
bug. A mau cun't muke a character iu
any such way. And the chances are that
he will lose what little he starts out with.

Advice of an Old Lady.-
Now John, listen to me, for I am older
than you, or I couldn't be your mother.
Never do you marry a young woman,
John bofore you have contrived to hap
pen nt the house where she lives at least
four or fivo times before broakfust. You
should know how late sho lies in bod iu
tho morning. You should take notice
whether her complexion is tho same iu
tho morning as it is in the evening, or
whether tho wash and towel have robbed
her of her evoning bloom. You should
take care tosurpise her, that you can see
her in her morning dress, and observe
how her hair looks whon she is not ex
pecting you. If possible you should hear
the conversation between her aud her
mother. If she is ill-natured and snap
pish to her mother, bo she will bo to you,
depend on it. But if you find her up
and dressed neatly iu the morning, with
the same countenance, tho same suiilos
the suiue neatly combed hair, the same
roady aud pleasant answers to her mother,
which characterized her deportment in
the evening, and particularly if she is
lending a hand to get the breakfust roady
in good seasou sho is a prize, John, and
the soouor you secure her to yourself tho
better.
