Just before his dearth he became conscious for a moment, and in the gleam, dwelling upon the habits of his ife, he suddenly exclaimed : The ads are all right, Sherman, lock up the form and lets go to press.

L. 1V. Carman. 4. Remarkable Declaration. The following extract from an address receptly delivered by Rev. David Wat- son, an eminent clergyman of tie Free (hutch of Scotland, deserves reading. "The great, and the wise and the mighty are not with us. That I fear we must all own to, however much we may grie-at to say so, and the more we read of _ the history, the poetry, the biography and the literature of the age the more we will think so. The best' thought, the wid st knowledge and the deepest - phil- osop by have discarded our church.. They haveturned their backs upon us with a quiedislike, an unspoken disapproval, and a practical renunciation, greatly Conclusive - than a wordy war d be. Now why sheuld this be ? should notthe wise, and great and sty be the `very pillars of- the church - mor wou Why migl and the,, saintliest among- the saints ' of men ? * * * They are not even nom- inally with us. They look not for our heaven ; they fear not our hell. They detest what they call the inhumanities of oar creed, and scorn the systematized spiritualism we. believe in. They step erwise have to be spent on dress and en- tertpinrnents. By his aid the gira learns her paces at home, and takes preliminary. canters au- pay du tendre, which; every girl must take who would: show 'to ad- vantage when she enters ; for the! great matrimonial stakes. Even when a grrl'e' style has been pretty well formed, and she is mistress f herweapons, a' (cousin still continues great convenience. He is a corpus vile pon which she . Can al- ways experime t. She can try the ef- fect of a new smile or dress upon her cousin before bringing it to bear upon the nobleman or stockbroker whom mamma has pronounced to be a `good catch." If cousin Tom is completely smashed by it, there is good ground for arguing that it will do the desired exe- cution xecution upon Lord Tom Noddy. It is clear, then, that a girl is .the better for having. male cousins. But whether a man is the be ter for having female. cousins is a ve different question!. Men are so much eaker than women—we say so in spite o the vulgar prejudice to the contrary-- s much more impression- able,•so much ore prompt to act on the spur of the mo ent. It is really very seldom that a w man does anything fool- ish in this direc ion ;. and even if upon the impulse ofhe moment she wishes to, her parents can always interfi:re and Prevent her. 0 course we know that girls do occasi wally make imprudent matches ; but ow few such girls are there after all . Speaking broadly, we may say women seldom marry for love. Thus it is that girl can always trust herself with . h : r cousins. She knows that under no ircumstances will she take them unless -they are worth taking. But men are ve different. The wisest of us is conscio e s that at any moment his feelings may get the better of him, and make him . a very foolish thing. , -Consequently, a man should beware of his cousins, if t e ey are at all fascinating or good looking. Amusing Mi ake of Two Young P eachers. An amusing- scene occurred in the Christian church at Larksville, Pa., last Sunday morning. It appears that the Methodist pulpit at that place was to be - supplied by a preacher from the Wyom- ing Seminary, aa'�d. two young men pro- ceeeded thither for the purpose of con- ducting the service. Instead of going into the M. E church, however, they went into the hristian church, en the of ! the street, where they • ound a large eongregation. Thinking that they had been waited for, they pro- ceeded at once to the vacant pulpit, and, J. ter a brief pa a and a glance .at the cohgregation, on .of them rose, read a out into speculative atheism, for they can ' chapter in the ibis, and said he. hatt breathe freer there ; their lungs are not 1 selected it as th foundation of a few re- cons ; ressed, and their humanities are marks..

But, mark you, they do - the church, whojwas a little behind time, not pass over into practical atheism, for walked in at th interesting juncture, however they hate the name of orthodoxy and much to his surprise found bis pul- and everything theological, their hearts pit already occu a ied.

Parents look on at the way cousins lone one another, and never think of offering an. objection. There is no harm in it. It is the received way of treating a cousin... by tl then mak then least that then Te a pretty girl who is• fired with a noble ambition to establish herself well in life, there is probably nothing so use- ful : s a good provision of male cousins of a suitable age. A cousin is such an ex - cell nt whetstone upon which to sharpen the ioints of coquetry for use against the- oiitea world. A girl who has no cousins is in eed greatly to be , pitied. It is al - mos impossible for her to get any prac- tice in flirtation without getting herself talk4 d of ; and in flirtation, as we all kno1'v, practice is ; everything.',Whereas a gi I, who has two or three cousins, has abu dant opportunities for practice, and, if she makes use of them, is perfect be- fore !she comes out, and brings down a husband in her first season.

A Moral for Wives. .j To those who have read Mr. Charles Reade's convoluted story of " A Terrible Temptation," tie idea involved in the following will be caught more quickly than by others. Years ago, a a. an Franeiscoan; a 1specu- lator, imitated he mass of humanity in taking unto hi self a wife and he imi- tated the massf humanity also in be- ooining- to a gre t extent under the con- trol of the lady whom he married. She was quite fond f dress and display, and he was fond of uiet and domestic com- fort, and Tooke forward, as men do, to the day when t e burden of the battle of life would be b me by one bearing his own name, and dying to him a son's rev- erence. The la y had her taste for dis- play gratified, d enjoyed herself, ; the man, less forteate; was disappointed in having no son nd heir to make night hideous and ru up bills for paregoric. The wife, to at to the matter as concise- ly as possible, d' d not yearn for children about the house as the husband did, and good fortune . r -something else' being upon the lady's ide no children came. So the years went by; monotonously, and in the bus and's case, " hope,". as the poet, with great taste, has put it, "weary with w aching, ceased almost to expect," until a 76. Then hope bright- ened up again. The wife, enjoying • the excitement and riumphs of society craved for more, and anted a finer mansion to receive her frie ds in. She proposed the matter to her hisband, and he seeing at last the goltlea. opportunity, acceded— provisionally. a would buy a mansion thowy for even howy San Francisco, he would furnish t -at residence in a style fit for the favorite of a Shah, he would, sup- ply equipages which would be the ad- miration of the street, he would clothe her in silks and, satins and furs galore,all this would he dp should the dearest wish of his heart be gratified. This was his ultimatum.. I Thelady accepted the proposition ; he listened to het ;acquiescence with delight, dreamed again leis dreams of a sturdy son and heir, and then went off with his spec- ulative brain to� the mines of Nevada, there to buy and sell and accumulate the wherewithal to arry out his promise. A finer spectacle t an that of this San Fran- cisco speculator dabbling in stocks for a purpose, serenel confident in human na- ture and the w• fe of his bosom and his own success, c of possibly be imagined. The picture stands 'grand and alone against a miserable back ground of doubt and fear and suspicion common to the rest of humanity. Meanwhile tie wife, honest at first herself in the resolve- to fulfil her part of the obligation, was in trouble. The gift of Providence, SO long rejected, could not be had by a wialh. Then came ' tempta- tion, suggested,, it is said, by _Charles I 1 THE Reade's work aaajr4ady . mentiond," aid` finally a resolve to deceive the trusting "peculator' The services of a. man nam d Mouser (suggestive cognomen indioitave of feline treachery) were secured; it w arranged to impose upon the husband a spurious baby obtained at8foundlio as lumanctall was ready for the farce. he man in the mountains received word that his fotidest hopes were likely to be realizaed.l How even more zealously he then plunged into money making need not be then came' to him a summons horse. The -train which carried him was all too sow,! the air he seemed to walk on would not bear him, but he reached San Francisco at last and found the son and heir all that his wild- est fancy had painted a son and heir to be. He had prospered in is sjecuations and his pledges to the ether of his child were joyously redeemed. The great house was bought and furnished ; fine horses dashed about the city bearing in a fine carriage the cenvallesce t mother who gained health and streng h with as-- tonishing rapidity. And then, suddenly as comes a western snow slide, the fair domestic structure crumbled. A `servant girl, in the; secret of the *purloins baby, conscience smitten, confessed, and subse- quently the doubly perfidiois Mouser, driven to the wall, - confessed as well. awed it is best cene of a most ing kind, and ie a tated.

The Prevalence of_ !hot Sight The increase of short sighteid persons is becoming so great as to attract the at- tention of -scientific men: In tie rude ages 'defective vision was rarel' encount- ered. Now a very large percentage, apparently constantly rising, of.the high- ly civilized races have weak eyes. Itis difficult to imagine a German professor ' without a pair of gold spectacles. Even young - men and women may now be found wearing glasses. Se great is the demand for artificial sight that the opti- cian has often as many customers as the shoemaker or the milliner.) The scienti- ying to solve toight some Tndp r 6 years rely encount- Dr. Howe of xarniniug the hools of that fic men who have been t this puzzle have brought very interesting facts. 1 of age near -sight is but r ered. The conclusions of Buffalo, who has .been children of the public s city, are, that at 7 years five out of every hundred children have acquired near - sight. At 11, the percentage increases. to eleven. When 13 is reached the aver- age becomes 19, while at 1, Ai one ire as high as 26,a little mor t 'ns g� � every four. Professor Cohn of Breslau, w devoting attention' to thejsa has come likewise tp the c short sight is brought o. period of education. He eyes -of 10,000 school chi of them ought to have reach a safe generalization. The cause, according to this investigator, are'schoo1- rooms not well ventilated, light resting on the wrong place, and desks not where they should be. By explorations in an- other direction these opinioiis-received' a strong confirmation. Dr that among the illiterate c falo only about la per ce sight to the 26 per cent. a cated as already stated. I estimated the percentage same class in Prussia to b cent. But for all these pr to understand how any of forth cad produce roundne s of the eye, for that is what short !sight means. When the eye is round, the focus is near ; while when tending to flatness it is thrown out.at a great distance. Natural- ly short sight will develop itself during the period of attendance at school. The near sight becomes cumulate, for the grows flatter. If the causes of short sight be those alleged by Prof. C hn, they can easily little, in fact no attention at all, is paid to the distri- bution of light in large school -rooms. The pupils are usually sea ed so as to be brought most completely under the ob- servation of the teachers. In most cases the seats of the latter determine the lines of the desks, and this without the slight- est regard to the• fact that the room is lighted by windows on perhaps all of ifs sides, throwing crass lights which can- not: fail_ to be very injurious. We do not know that a school room was ever arranged ao that every pu il ' it should pursue his studies in a pro er light.. In- s school roo s it would be decd, in lore next to impossible , to do so. a Possibly also print of the smaller ki ds should be discouraged. The saving wh'ch is ef- fected in bulk and conseq en expense, is more than overbalanced by the injury done. Some effort ghoul certainly be made to prevent the wor d from going purblind. The struggle forte dissem- ination of education know no ause. It will eventually result in he education more or less ,complete of all civ' ized men. To condemn 26 out of ever 100 of them to wear glasses is; a he vy infliction. Perhaps the figures 'will not sop there, for heredity will be largely increasing the averages.

Recentlya. Yuma chief ied suddenly �. near the Laguna. The -tribe, accusing his wife of having bewitched him, beat her to death tvith clubs and then cre- mated her body with his. At the wake twelve head 'of horses were killed, partly to provide feneral baked meats for the mourners and partly to furnish the late lamented with saddle animals in the happy hunting grounds. Cremation is the rule with .these Indians, not only of the corpse, but also of 'all, his property. When a •squaw dies in childbirth, the` babe is burned with her, whether dead or alive, being to some extent considered guilty of - the mother's death. Arizona Sentinel. iso THE F SITOR.
