Living too Fast.
Men are living too fast. Idle
ness and indulgei.ee havo begot
ten pride and discontent. The age
is thirsty for luxury, The very
paupers of our cities scorn the
patched garments and simple fare
which once satis A ed the well-to-do,
the young clerk must live in a
house about as luxuriously fur
nished as his employer's, though
he steul to support his establish
ment; the servants rival their mis
tresses in the costliness and elabo
rateness of their attire, though to
do it they waste the savings which
they may need to keep them for
Want and from ruin. The young
couple who bjgin at home must
have it richly decorated as that of
those who laboured for years, and
there is an utte r uuwillingautg on
the part of too many to be content
with simple surroundings. We
must change our standards ef
judgment, and learn to rate the
people at what they are, and uot
what they have. This is a money-
worshiping age; men of vicious
principles through the clink of
gold, summon hosts of admirers;
others are tolerated for the baubles
the mob scramble for and still
others are permitted to occupy
posts of honor in church aud state
which they only obtain by their
wealth. Mon live in the fear of
gold aud not ot God, and seek the
honor of inau, amt not the honor
that cometh from above.
There should be a return to more
simple, more honest ways of liv
ing It should be deemed dishon
orable to live beyond one’s means,
no mau should be encouraged to
spend a few years of luxury at the
resk of breaking down and mak
ing a dishonorable ending.
Words of Wisdom.
When men, women and oppor
tunity meet, the devii sits dowu.
knowing that the tire will burn
without help from him,
It is better to rise from your
knees,and shut your hens out of
your neighbor's yard, than to in
dulge in long prayers.
The perfectly contented man is
also perfectly useless.
Try to see yourself through the
eyes of those around you.
The ideal saints of the young
moralist is cut from sappy timber.
The Lord can more easily have
faith in th^religiou that wears an
old coat to the church, than the!
man in the coot can.
True prosperity builds up the
soul rather that the pocketbook.
The vigeorous idea keeps warm
though wrapped iu few words.
Faith that asks no questions
kills the soul and slides the intel
lect.
Happy is the man who has
neighbors willing to forgive his
mistakes.
Appear to be better than you
are, aud aim to be what you ap
pear.
He who thinks poorly of him
self cannot Ivin the respect ot his
fellows.
Many who expect to go to heav
en, will find little comefort there
unless they are able to get up a
lively trade in harps, aud gold,!

Many a mother has wept over
the sins of their child,little dream
ing that while she pursued her
round of idle pleasures, that child
was taking its lesson in sin from
the example of a vicious nurse,
The truth is, parents take upon
themselves too many unnecessary
burdens, aud consider themselves
hound by duty to perform too many
tasks, which are of much less con
sequence than the teaching and
training of their children. The
father has his trade or profession,
and his few leisure hours he oiust
spend in social pleasure. The
mother has her household cares,
and the comforts of her family to
study; and besides this there are
is much time to be devoted to fan
cy work, visitore, and to amuse
ments of one kind and another.
Her children are merely seconda
ry considerations, and depeud up
on the kindness of hirelings, Their
dresses may be miracles of puffing,
ruffles and embroidery, hut what
does that count when their minds
are dwarfed through neglect? Her
house may ho the model of neat-
uess, her bread excel that of all
her neighbors, her jellies and pre
serves enough to tempt the most
fastidious; but if iu all this she
has kept aloof ftom her child, has
chilled his heart towards her,what
does it count ?
Ail Incident of the Latest California
, Craze.
All San Frane ajolias gone cra
zy over speculation in Sierry Ne
vada mine stock, which hus gone
up from $3 50 to $250 per share.
The city is a vast gambling hell,
aud the women areas much excit
ed as tlie tueo. A correspondent
of the Sun narrates the following
sad incident : A young woman
of one of the best known society
families, wild to raise a few hun
dred dollarswith which to specu
late on mining stock, invented a
bogus charitable society to relieve
the oppressive wants of the needy
and starving families, whose mod
esty would not. permit them to
make a personal appeal to the
charity of their frieudsor the pub
lic. She appointed herself treas
urer under a false name, and
sent out circuars begging for
money. One of these circulars
was sent to Ham Wilson, a prom
inent lawyer, who, suspecting a
swindle, sent a police officer to
follow the messenger and investi
gate, at the same time he handed
! the ims-enger a small sum of
money, which was duly handed to
the young woman, who was wait
ing in the street, and who, being
uuablo to establish the good faith
of the society for which she pre
tended to heading, was arrested
and charged with swindling and
obtaiugiug money under false pre
tenses. Mr. Wilson was sent tor,
aud found to his constination,that
the prisoner was a fashionable
young woman, a frequent visitor
at his own and others of the best
houses iu town. Bail was taken
for her appearance; her true name
was withheld from the police re
port- and newspapers, and strenu
ous efforts are beiug made to avoid
a trial and public exposure. The
affair is, however, ar. open secret,
| and the girt 1 /wuu is only is
f j r l>v£u.-
A hoy returned home from school
one day with the report that his
scho)Jar-whip had fallen below the
usual average.
Said I* in father : • ;j
‘•Well,you've fallen behind this
month, have you?"
“Yes, sir.”
“How did that happen ? M
“Don’t know, sir, 1 '
The father knew, if his son did
not. He had observed a number
of cheap novels about the house,
but he had not thought it worth
his while to say anything about
it until a fitting opjmrtUnity
should offer itself, A basket of
apples stood upon the Boor. Said
he: “Empty those apples and
take the basket and bring it iuto
me half lull of chips. And now,'
he continued “put those apples
hack it the basket.
When halt the apples were re
placed the son said: “Father,
they roll off. I can’t put iu any
more.*’
“Put them in, I tell you.*'
“But, lather, I cau't put them
in/'
“Put them iu ? No; of course
you can’t put them in. Do you
expect to fill u basket half full of
chips and then fill it with apples?
You said you did uot know why
you fell belliud at school, ami 1
will tell you. Your mind is like
that basket—it will uot hold uo
more than so much; and here you
have been the past mouth filling
it with rubbish—Worthless, cheap
novels."
The boy said, “I see the piut."
Don’t Quarrel
People talk of lovers* quarrels
as rather pleasant episodes—be
cause they are uot quarrels at all.
| It is half-play, and they know it.
I Matrimonial quarrels are another
| thing. We doubt seriously it
married people ever forgive each
other after the first falling out.
They gloss it over, they kis-t uml
make it up; the wound apparent
ly heals, but only—as those ho:-
rible words given in battle do—to
break out uguin at some unexpect
ed moment,
The man who has sneered and
| said cruel things to a sensitive wo
man never has her whole heart
again. The woman who 1ms ut
tored reproaches to a man can nev
er he taken to his bosom with the
same tenderness as before those
words were spoken. The two peo
ple* who must never quarrel a e
husband and wife. One may fall
out with kiudMiiau, aud make up
aud he friends again; hut love
once banished, is a dead and bur
ied thing.
Oglethorpe Echo : “Oue of the
most horrible, sickening stories
comes to our ears this week we j
evey heatd. It appears that a
negro woman, living on the place
of Mr, W. A. Hardy, of Wood-
stock, owing to cruel treatment
of her husband, committed suicide
by jumping into the well. There
she remaiued a week, a number of
persous using water from the well
all the time, until the suspicion of|
the family was aroused by a most ,
nauseous taste iu the Water—even j
the horses having refused to drink |
it for aday or so before i‘a use was
discarded. At last the water
drawn off was toitnd to be s'reak-
ed with blond, and ae examina
tion brought fourth the putrid
body of tU# wo:wan-/"
After severe 1 years of a very good
nntured, loose way of doing business,
I discover, that 1 owe more person*,
than 1 don't owe, and that my credit*
j‘»rs arc signifying that 1 must settle,
or hunt new friends. And as 1 am
I too pour to move, and furthermore
I discover, that 1 am brought face to
face with the fact, “that something
inns' be did/* ] therefore make bu
appeul lo those who owe me,—espeo-
| |allv to those who have tor several
oars remained in arrears. I feel firiy
grcfful for the patronage of the dear
public.and if wo could all now square
tip, 1 feel I hat 1 should he glad enough
I(to treat all round, and then like a
j clever fellow go along aud have the
! fun of the credit business, all over
again.
1 hope this will not he taken as a
joke, and I intend to to apply mysejf
to the subject, ns that uo such ’mis
takes will he made.
So after dog-days, and camp-meet
ings are over, 1 shall have an ear for
