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,! aud nicklt plated »w u»# 1 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.
