Reverend Doctor Hall was sitting ia his study oue pleasant .August afternoon, his thoughts lutcu; upon his suiuiny sermon, and his mind withdrawn from earthly cares, when his train of thought was rudely interrupted, and bis attention distracted from his theme by thu following conversa tion : 'Oh, Ncllio Hnll t where are you T you'd ought to have been here just the stunning est fellow.' Then a sound of running feet, and pretty soon he heard his daughter exclaim : 'Is that you, Miigyio ? 'Yes, come doivu quick, I've got some thing to tell you.' 'I'll bu lliero iu half a jiffy.' Then a door opened and shut, aud in a few momeuts 'What do you think, as I was coming ovet here, there was just the stunningest fellow right in front of mo 1 Just as L trot in frout of the new church my music roll ! slipped, aud every paper in it fell out on the sidewalk.' 'Gracious I should have been dumb-confounded.' 'And so I was ; but it was so ridiculous I that I almost died a laughing.' 'Well that fellow, do you think, stopped, turned around, and helped me to pick them up. I was all hunky dory then. He ' walked as far os here with me ; I thanked j him of course, etc., etc. You know how 'tis yourself.' ; The good doctor scratched his head. I Could that be his Nellie, whom he thought so lady-like V lie opened ths door softly, a little crack thinking, no doubt, thai he had the right to piny the part ot listener lo so strangely mixed a conversation, nnd in his own house. Very soon it was contiuued, this time his daughter commencing the conversation : 'There t how's that for high V 'Oh, isn't it sweet I how much was it?' 'Only five dollars 1 cheap euough. v.,o ;.,,!. 1 . i,t o..;.l ...... .ru going to have piuk-this is blue.' I 'Xever mind it's all the same in Dutch.' The doctor pecked to see what they were talkitm about aud Miss Nillie was exhi biting her new bonnet to the admiring gaze of her friend. It's raging hot here.' 'Well, I don't know as I can make itany cooler,' said Nellie looking around. 'I s'poso father'd kill me if I opened a door.' J let-father had requested her the day before to keep the door closed. 'I guess its time for me to absquatulate,' said Maggie rising. 'Don't tear yourself away. Are you go ing to the lecture to-night r Yes : I had a staving old TupRihiv nisrht .' time last '(ieorge banders said he would go home with you to-night.' 'Did he V He'd belter learn to spell able first.' 'That's so. If there's anything I hate, its these boys bothering around ; they - ought to be put into a barrel and fed through the bunuholc until thev are old enough to behave.' 'I must bid you a fond adieu now ; I have thousands of errands to do.' 'Well, good-bye.' 'O, the dickens, I've lost my parasol !' 'Here it is.' 'Now, goodbye, be sure aud come to night.' 'Yes, good-bye.' Then the door closed and Nellie went off up stairs. Tho doctor gently shut the door, with a sly twinkle iu his eyes. He sat buried in thought some little lime. Now and then a good humored smile broke over his face, and unco he shook with silent laughter. Then again his face lengthened aud his brow grew dark, till at last, with a gesture of impatience, hu pushed back hia chair, got up, shook himself, took his hat and went out for a walk, lie got as far as the gale, wheu an idea seemed to strike him. He came back, hung up his hat, aud went iu search of his wilu. For a long time they were closeted together, until lime for tea. When tea was ready, Miss Nellie came dowu equipped for the lecture. After they were fairly seated at the table, Mrs. Hall said : 'My dear sir, will you have some tea ?' 'lu hull' n jiily, madame.' Nellie looked up. but her father took no notice. 'ltcally, this cake is quite) stunning,' weul ou the doctor, ns solemn as a judge. Just then his napkin fell lo the floor. 'Gracious, I'm cou-diiin-luiuiile.il,' ejacu lated the doctor, geltiug it a liuie wrong. Nellie gazed at her father iu perfect amazement. 'My dear, this sauce is slaving. Whero did you buy il "t" '1 made it,' said his wife coolly. 'Oh, well, its all the same iu German.' Nellie dropped her kuife and fork. 'You must give me some money for thu butcher, to-morrow,' said Mis Hall. 'You'd . latter spell 'ubilily' firtt," growled the doctor savagely. Tli en suddenly taking out his handker chief, lie gave his nose a tremendous blow. 'There ' said he, 'how is that for high V k!

She burst itito tears and left the room. The sage doctor nodded wisely to his wile and when she had got out ot hearing exclaimed. 'There wife, I guess we shall hear uo u.ore slang phrases from her.' The next day the good doctor called his daughter into his study, aud said to her : My dear girl, don't you seo how very foolish these phrases are V They mean nothing, but ar uxcevdiugly injurious lo those who use them. Hy ever so sparing a use, one's speech gets so corrupted that a person ofleu makes use of ono of these expressions at times, which afterwards he would bo sorry to remember. They souud very silly to a listener, and often the use of them would lead to something wrong. It is bad enough to hear boys use them some times, but girls is expected to be too ruliued and ladylike to sully her lips by such ex pressions. Tbe use of theut is simply a bad habit ; but bad habits, like cuts in the bark ef a tree, grow and widen with age, and if they once get firm hold they are hard to get rid of. Then there Is a great deal in companionship. If we koop company, and are intimate with those who use bad language, we are apt to make use of it our selves. Tvrsoos are kuowu by (lie torn puny they keep.' When you see a persou using these phrases, you may be sure that such a persou knows not what is called 'gooJ society.' . i. . . . ..

The proclamation printed below has been lately issud by the provincial treas urer ol Ilupo.i, a district in China, con demning Uiu destroying of fehinlo chil dren. It is Interesting both from its quaint language and as illustration the de gree of civilisation which prevails in sonieJ parts of that country : Tho provincial treasurer of Ilupei has M Issue a proclamation prohibiting, ia tho strongest terms, tho drowning of female children. In ancient times the girl T'iying -begged his majesty to permit her to sacri fice her liberty iu order that her father,' who was in disgrace might be released from' bondage. In another case again, the girl Mulan wished to serve a soldier iri order to take upon herself the liability of her old father to serve in the wars. The instances show that with what filial instincts girls of old were imbued. At the present timc too, the treasurer apprehends there is na lack ol daughters equally ready to sacrifice themselves to their parent, or to render tho names of their family as illustrious bv filial acts of devotion. Such being tho case, how comes it that the female infant is look-, ed upon ns an enemy from tho moment of1 its birth, aud no sooner enters the world than it is cotisighed to the nearest pool of water ? Certainly, there are parents who intcrtain an affection for their female in fants and rear them up, but such number senrcely twenty or thirty per cent. The reasons nre cither (1st) that the' child is thrown away in disgust because the parents have too many children already,' or (Jd) that it is drowned from sheer chi- . I grin at having begottcu none but females', I or from apprehension that the mother will : not conceive again readily enough il sho has lo suckle the child : or lastly, in tho ; fear that the poverty of the family wilt ! make it difficult to devote tho milk to her J own child, when the mother might other wise hire hereon out as wet nurse. JNow all these are the most stupid of reasons; People seem to be ignorant of the fact that 110 iui:ii aro uoru iioiu ueaveu vr miouisouie " "'" " cold or bodily comfort are matters of pre- destination ; so also with sous and heirs, : which arc even iu a greater degree depen I dent upon the destiny of heaveu and con not be forcibly coaxed out of it. All that I those have to do who are uuablo through ! povcaty to feed their children, is to send I them lo tho Foundling Hospital, where they will be reared until they become wo ' men and wives, and whore they will always : be sure of enjoyinsra natural lifetime. With regard to tho question of money or 110 money in the bridal casket, means, or no means of bringing up a family, why, tho bare necessaries of life for such children in : the shape of the coarsest sown and head ! gear do uot cost much. There are cases ! euough of poor lads not being able to liud - I a wile all their lives long, but the treasurer ba8 yt to hear ot a poor girl who cannot find a husband, so that thero is even less ! cause for anxiety on that score. But thero ! is another way of lookiug at it. Heaven's j retribution is sure, and cases arc common 1 where repeated female births have followed mose neu ine imams nave oeeu urowneu , that is, man loves to slay what Heaven , loves to beget, and those perish who set themselves against Heaven, as those dio who take humau life. Also, they are hauutcd by the wraths of the murdered children, and thus not only fail to hasten 1 the birth of a male child, but run a risk of making victims ot themselves by their oe- . havior. The late Governor, hearing that . this wicked custom was rife iu Hupci, set forth the law soruu time ago iu severe pro- . hibitory proclamations ; notwithstanding this, many poor districts and out-of the way places will not allow themseves to seo what is right, but obstinately cling to their . old customs. Ilia Chieu yin, a graduate from Kiatu hia, aud others have lately pe titioned that a proclamation be issued ouco . more prohibiting this pralicc in strong terms. The treasurer has now to issue this prohibitory proclamation for the in- . formation and instruction of t he people aud soldiery of the whole province : W hureforc you are uow required and re quested to acquaint yourselves all, that mule and female in hints being of your own tlesh and blood, you may be visited by some monstrous calamity if you rear only the male, aud drown the female children. Let all henceforth start up from their delu sive lethargy, and exhort their neighbors' to eschew this dreadful abominaliou ; let them cause their families aud ucighbors lo become alive to its terrible uature, and with , one will and consent wrest themselves from uuder its jicruicious influence. If these exhortations nre looked upon any more as mete formal words, aud if any people with conscious wickedness and ueglect to turu over a new leaf, they will be punished (but with one degree of additional severity) un der the law providing for the punishment, of "wilful homicide of children and grand children." Relatives living with such of fenders and neglecting to rescue tho chil dren, or deliberately inciting the parents lo drown them, will also bu severely dealt with, lteware nud obey 1 Bev are. 1 Seventy-five rattlesnakes have been killed at oue lumber-camp iu Clearfield county, this summer. ltt:CII'F.J, '. j l'Ki'i'KU Manhoks.
