A Mory with i Moral.
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and his mind withdrawn from earthly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.

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

Yes : I had a staving old

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! ' iioiv luiw 'lis iiivsi'lf ' ttiit-ki. relilli'il
,jg
ThiB.luniuHl the climax. The knowledge
that her father must have heard the after
noon conversation was loo much for Nellie.
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.'

Murder or Little) Girls.
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
