' Our American, boys have put a by far too animal construction upon the modern asser- tion flippantly made that happiness is the chief end of man. With them the modern philosophy has become perfectly conscience- 'less in its interpretation of ferms, so that *happiness has been rendered selfish gratifi- aries. - Thoy have been so fast to get at the réputedgxa that they bave nos stopped to consider the. higher happiness involved in the words duty and obligation. Then again the faney has become almost universal that ly virtues, such as revérence, obedience and service, has passed away, and wo ars, earth, To a certain extent this is so. But thers is nothing the boy of this western world needs so much to learn as the fact duties have not, and that its righteousness remains as ay ever present obligation. To all the demands of the old time is added the iscomparable' richness of the new, and really no one has any right to enter into the enjoyment of présent privileges who has pot, with an oyo single to that purpose, dis- charged old obligations implied in the old dispensation: - Our boys, anxious to become men before years and experience and service 4 have made them such, havo learned many things . whicu they wil have to unlearn.

He begins: _'\Graco mercy, and peaco, etc. My own beloved spouse, my most sweet friend and faithful companion of my pilgrimage, the happy and hopeful sup- - ply, next Christ Josus, of my greatest ‘ losses (he had lost two wives). I wish thee a most plentiful increase of all true comfort in the love of Christ, with a large and pros- porous addition of whatever happiness the sweot estate of holy wodlock, in the kindest gociety of a loving husband, may afford theo. - Being filled with joy of thy love, and wanting opportunity of more familiar com- - munion with thee, which my heart fervently desires, I am constrained to ease the burden of my mind by this poor help of my scrib- bling pon, being sufficiently assured that though my presence is that which thou de- girest, yot in the want thereof these Hines ghall not be unfruitful of comfort to thee.

The sbdomen was laid open and slowly, bit by bit, the living flesh was cut from not vital parts and sowed ifto place in the shape of the missing organ. lnflam- mation was guarded against by a constant stream of antissptic spray upon the inter- nal organs, and finally, after many caroful stitches had been taken in the internal con- struction, the outward opening was closed and the operation was successfully com- pleted.

TALMAGE, Tho Dargers that Boesst the J’athwaf of. tho Foung Mon of the --Some Graphic Picturos, Dr. Talmage proached a sermon last Sun- day morning especially addressed to parouts. It was on tho causes and alleviation of par- ental solicitude. The text was from Pro- verbs x:1; \A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.\ - The preacher s4id: The first cause of parental solicitude I think ariges from tho imperfections{of parents on their own part. We all somighow want our children to avoid our faults. .We hopg that if wo have any excollences they will copy them ; but the probability is they will copy our faults and omit our excellences. Chil- dren are very apt to be echoes of the paren- tal life. Some ono mests a lad on the back streot, finds bin meking and says ; * Why, I am actonished at you, what would your | fathor say if he knew this? Where did you get that cigar 1\ (\Oh 1 picked it yp on the street.\ '* What would your {ather and your mother say if thoy knew this 1\ *\ Oh,\ be roplies, \that's nothing, my father smokes !\ There is not one of us to-day who would like to have our children copy al; OUR EXAMPLE. Thon solicitude arises from our conscious insufficiency and unwisdom of discipline.' Qut of twenty parents there may be one par-, ent who understands how thoroughly and skillfully to discipline. We, nearly all of us, are on one gide or are od the other. Hero is a fathor who rays : \I am going to bring up my children right; my sons m know nothing but religion, shall see nothing but religion, and bear nothing but religion.\ They are routed at 6 o'clock in the mornin,y wukened up from the sofa on Sunday nights to recite the Westminster catechism. - Time posses on and the parents aro waiting for the return of the son at night.

The father says : \ My son, I told you if 1 over found you guilty of a farlse- Lood again I would thastise you, and I am guing to keep my promise.\ The mother says : \ Don't ; let him off this time.\ A father says: \I have seen so many that make mistakes by too great severity in the rearing of their childrén ; now,I will let my boy do as he pleases; be shall have full swing.\ Plenty of money for the most part, and give a boy a plenty of money and ask him nut what ho does with it, and you pay his way straight to perdition.

FEést Hartford y“people have been for months nursigg & secret, or at least have \. not given publicity to an odcurrence which seems to be almost withput parallel. Some time before last Christmas Mr, land Mrs. Edgar.Brower lost a beloved daughter who was sixteon years of agp. So attached was the father to his darghter that he would not permit her remains to be interred, and for all these months the body has remained in the parlor. A Hartford undertaker goes over to the house of dogth daily and brings bis skill to bear in presorving the remains. Every night, {titer the midnight hour has been proclaimed by tho clock, Mr. Brewer gets up, dresses himself and sits up with the' 'éorpse the rest of the night.' He addresses the inanimate form with words of endearing «ffection, and speaks as tenderly to it as though his girl heard hig words, - When day- light creeps into the roum the popr man goos out fnd once again seeks his bed and fin- isbos his sleep. Those nightly vigils have been - kept up uncéasingly since the death of the girl. - The neighbors have tried in vain to induce him to consent to a burial. His wife has suffered greatly by her hus- | band's strange copduct, but nothing that she could say would induce him to part with the body. But he has now at last consented that a vault be built in his dooryard, which by his express orders is fo be made easily accessible, so that he can still hold nightly communion with the object of his affection. It sppears that when the girl was on her cying bed she expressed a dread of being put in the ground, and her futher told her that she should not be. When the vault is mude the remains can be removed and the dy ing girl's wishes respected and the father's to recite the ton commandments. T1153: Are & promise kept. The affection of perents for their children is never known to its Yullest extent till death separates them, and only those parents who have laid their children 'in the grave can fully sympathize with Mr. Brewer, who clings so fondly to the poor, fadingearthly remains of his daughter, But the irrovocable decree of \dust to dust\ cannot be escaped ; and it is best for the father, as well as the daughter, who is pro- pressing in the brighter \ bettor land,\ to bury the mortal remains that they may go back to the elements from which they origi- pated, w hile the spirit lives to welcome him at a day not long in the future. eo. a DO NICE GIRLS SMOKE ?. What a Fernale Correspondent Says About the Matter. . Says Clara Belle: Somebody reminded us of Miss Rorke, who gracefully puffed a cigarette in ' Brighton,\ as played by the W3;odham comedy company.. It Was re- marked, too, that Lotta buras tobacco in some of her plays. One who professed to know said Lotta's cigarettes are not tobaceo. Theroupon a girl confessed thhil she smoked babitually, had learned to like it, and could see nothing unladpjlike in the practics. Did not the grand duchess of Spainsmoke ? And she would like to know if their manners wrere to be condemned. A third girl, who lately returned from a tour in Europe, told us that smoking had become quite fashior- able in (Germany, Russia and Austria. In each of those countries she saw real lad es beguiling themselves with cigarettes, and even pipes and cigars. This is not done without causing frowns, of course, but the habit seems to bo making headway against, all opposition. I argued that the use of 'tobacco in any shape was destructive to the charin of women, and that any girl who, fell into the vice would necessarily become coarse and masculine in her manners. It was rotortedfupon mo that nothing could be more graceful than a girl reclining in her easy chair and blowing ings of smoke toward the coiling, or knocking off the ashe: from her cigarette with a dainty touch of her little finger, and thus, perhaps, soothing away thoe headache of a umight's dancing. '* But how would you like to have a gentle- man find the odor of tobacco on your lips when ho kisses you ?\ somebddy impulsively asked. '* And how many gentlemen have you kissed in a year without tasting tobgeco on their lips ?\ The demure young lady who asked the last question felt thak she had said tpo much, and the dicussion ended, . . *That wonderful catholicon known as Mrs. Lydia E. PinkLbem's Vegetable Com- pound has given the'lady a world-wide repu- tation for doing good. It is like a living sprivg to the vital constitution, Her Blood PuriGer will do more to cleanse the channels of the circulation and purify thejlife of the body than all the sanitary devices of\ the board of health. --- -__ The Dear Taxpayer.
