I have felt it an imperative and pressing dnty but he’s a mon ster of such hideous mien that I tremble and falter at the task. He is not, however, a specimen of to tal depravity aud so I will soften the asperities of my discourse by beginning witu the silver-linings atld virtuous bearings and com mendable traits which telong to his charactor. The rod bug has as much inde pendence and selfhood, as strong conviotions and as settled purpos es as any creaturo that breathes the breath of life. He attends strictly to his own business; he §m ploys no agents, hires no bauds, forms uo •combinations, requires no protection, “asks no favors and shrinks from no responsibility." Though small of stature ho is not destituto of influence; on the con trary ho always makes himself felt —always makes his mark in tho community in which he rc.ides. You may have to put on your specks to see him, but you won’t have to put them ou to fiel him. “Ob for a closer walk,” is the first thing ho thinks of when Uo secs you and he’s very likely to get next to you and make himselt fa miliar ou a short ncqu'tintanco. Tho red hug is humanivorous, so to speak, he eats nothing but little pieces of people. lie makes a busiuess trip to all the rural pieuies in the spring of the year and goes without waiting for tho ceremony of an invitation. When he gots there he don't stand round atid look at folks and staro them in the face; ho tuckles the (itsi one he meets, without evon waiting lor au introduction. Whou lie gets on you he trots along until ne finds a satisfactory locatiou and then scratches away the trash and begius to draw his rations and help himself, and lie's no objections to goiug homo and spending the night with you if you’ll let him ride. Tbe red bug is very industrious, lie sticks to his busiuess and work* faithfully and uncomplainingly, and he invariably puts up a suc cessful job and druws a pa) ing dividend, unless his cnlerpriso is nipped in tho bud. He is quiet in his manners and orderly in the arrangement of his business matters. He never blows a horn to anuouuce bis coming or advertises for a situation, hunts tbe situation till he finds it then settles down for life and perfectly willing to give uway his legs, as he doesu't expect to used them again. The red hug and the ilea belong to the same entomological family —pule* penetrans—but the Ilea is funny bird; ho tickles you half to death even when in his swagger ing strut, as he capers along your serface; while tbe red bug glides as softly as a moonbeam and never serves you with a notice of his presence. When tbs red hag takes up with you he is hard to got rid of. You needn’t hint at him that he isn’t wanted, he takes uo hints, and you 6in f t gooff and leave him, and you can't catch him napping and slip away. He’s a bIi»Ur plaster that “sticketh cloier than a broth er,” or a mother inriaw, or any other man, or words to that effect. You can’t toll him off or drive him offer put a bit in his mouth and lead him off—he'd prop himself mod pull back worse than a sullen mule. He bsl no regard for the authority of law and wouldu’t pay the slightest attention to the sher iff, armed with a warrant for bis removal as an intruder. You needn’t to want him lo pack up and leave. He didn't come for your accommodation end nothing bat coercion con Induce him to go. And he’s not coercible much; so your only chance is to trust in Providence and rub with kerosene. And you’ll need a good deal ui the troetand tbe kerosene too; I tell you what, If a colony of red bugs settles on you and makes a clearing, you’re right apt to find out something about it; you’re apt tp find out the geographical loca tion of the colony and what it’s bounded by, for they’re going to sot themselves to work and set you to work. And the sensor-nerves and the motor nerves will begin operations, and the brain will telegraph to the fiuger-naila, “Scratch,” and you’ll have to scratch like Old Scratch or disobey the pressing injunction; for tbe ouly ambitiou of the set tlers U to gratify their own apetite and make a corner in tormenting tho persou they inhabit. The red bug has six feet, an an gular form and a rod'beaded body lie never dies of his own accord, It takes killing to mako him die, aud a good dual of killing at that aud sometimes when lie’s dead he isn’t more than half dead. The red bug eats very littlo, but he eats it bad, and my experience is that he east about as much when he's first dead as wheu ho’s last alive, for I know he hurts a good dual worse than ho don’t hurt for a day or two after he has swallowed tho poisonous drug aud breathed bis valedictory breath. Lioncus and Fubricious differ from me iu their views of the red bug. Mine are tho best aud most reliable, fi.r they sat cross-legged iu the iabratory and took hi long taw, with microscopes, while I went lo the picnic. There’ll be no red bugs when tho millennium comes. Red bugs aud a millennium wou’t mix.—Sumter JujHibliciin. ‘ Woman’s Sphcro. In tho cultivation of her taleuts a liberal education is ttol out of place, Indeed, an uneducated wo uiau is as much a mistake ns an uueducati-d umn. But her edu cation must bo moro than the gloss of “ accomplishment,” which lit* her ns a curiosity or a delicious piefco of bric-a-brnc. She must devolop womanliness, not the qual ity of a vine clinging to something stronger, but the character of au independent being, a worthy factor in society. For some girls work is not a necessity, and they hold theiu.'Clves aloof from tho busiuess of life and from all interests i activities and its exigencies. Lot me tell such that they arc a honor to tboir sox aud traitors to tho cause of their Divino Master, who placed on them as much ob ligation as on mu, Tho devil holds a first mortgage ou every aimless life. Aimlessness leads to driftiug, und wo never dnlt up stream. Woman’s “ contracted sphere ” i* continually dangled lie- loro us, There is no sphere of power fur hutnau being which exceed in iroportanco the sphere of home. The hope of civilization was in the home, aud iho hope of tho home is iu tho mother. She c.tu mate her child what she will if her conduct ever) where ami un der ail circumstances is such as to inspire uot ouly his love but his admiration It is often tbo girl’i fault that she does not have this sphere opened to her. Young men refuse to marry because the young women demand homes as good as those of their affluent fathers and ambitious mothers. In many cases the fathers of tbeso girls were poor when young. Is it more of a dis honor to have a poor suitor than to have had a poor father ? Tht-so girls forget that the biersing of a home is the sffectionato co-opera tion of tbe partners. No better definition of a*wife has ever been given than that in the second chap ter of God’s book, a husband’s helper. There is no time when a young man needs a helper moro than when be is at tho bottom of the hiif; a girl who is unwilling to begin with him then is not fit to be his wife When ho has reached tbe top.—Dr. l*arkhur»t. Tbo late Charles Dolmonico said few people knew how to cock wa ter. Tbe secret, he remarked, “U in putting good, fresh water into a neat kettle, already quite warm, and setting tbe water to boiling quickly, and then taking tt right off for use in tea, coffee or other drinks, before it is spoiled. To lot it steam and simmer and cvap~ orate until tbo good water was all in the atmosphere, and tbo lime and Iron and dregs only left in the kettle—bah 1 that ii what makes a great many people sick, and u worse then no water at all.” A good old man -in'-Spaulding county went to prayer-meeting tbo. other night and unwittingly fell asleep. He was called on to pray, and, being dutifully punched by his better-lie If, bellowed out: “Deng It, Betsy, kindle It yourselfi* Jacob and Bachel. There is a great deal of argtr ment among young and old people as to iho propriety of young people finking (peb other’s acquaintance Without proper introduction, old people claiming that any acquain tauce made without au introduce tion is improper, while many young people claim that there are times when an acquaintance can be mode without the aid of these forms which is liable to bo a valuable one, and lead lo so much happiness. But such thiugs are looked upon as flirtations by many peoplo. An aiquaiutauco thus formed is often looked upon as productive of no good. Young people cannot be too careful about meeting strangers, though they should use some judg ment and not givo themselves away. They bavo a precedent for getting acquainted without tho aid of outside frieuds, iu the caso of Jacob and Rachel, tho particulars of which flirtation can bo found in the good book. It is not alleged that Jacob was a masher, liko many of tho Jakes of tho present day, but according tp reports, he ciptured ltachcl quicker than wink. It seems that Jake was at tbo well of lluruu, after water, and Rachel came along with her jug after aorno water.. They bad never met before, aud yet Jacob was gone tho first time she aimed her eyes at him. According to scriptural authority, “ It cuuia to pais that after be had drawn water at the well of Ilarun for Ivtchel, Jacob kimed Rachel and lifted up his voice und wept.” What he wept for is not stated, hut tho host of ’em ore apt to bo overcome with emotion in trying times. Tho action of Jacob toward A total stranger in these days would subject him and her to comment. Suppose, ut one of our summor retorts, a Rachel should bo down to tho spring lor u dose of liquid liver cure, and a ydfing fellow should draw llio water for her, and bund it to her, and then kiss her, aud begin to cry. They would call a policeman, and the next day, or the day alter, when tho policomen got around, they would bavo the crying kissor fired out of tbe grounds, mid Rachel's mother take her up to the hotel and take her across her kueo aud box her cars soundly, l'robably that was tbo way they did busiuess ill oldeu times, but it would bo a laughable filing to sue now days. Suppose a young Jucob and Rachel, strangers to each other, living in ndjoiniug homes iu Chicago, both tako tiu dippers und go out to tbo milk wugou for tho supply of alleged ilk for their respective families, and Jacob should tako Rachel’) dipper and have it wliite^wasbcd inside with the stuff tbe milkman exchanges for tickets, and then tbe Jacob should kiss tbe Rnchol and lift up bis voice oud weep. Tbe milkmau would faint a Way aud full off tho seat. Rachel would swat Jacob over tbe head with tbe dipper of fresco material, peoplo would stop on tho streets to see tbe row, and a policeman would come along and pull both Jacob and Rscbol tor disorderly conduct, end they would bo sentenced to 30 days in tho house of correction. This •hows what a difference thoro is in tho practices of Jacob a*i Rachel then and now. If a later day Jacob wanted to get acquainted with a Rachel, be wouldn't stand around a well wait ing for her to come after a jug of water, ucither would be stand at tbe corner grocery waiting for her to como after two cents' worth of yeast, aud kiss her aud weep. He would raise bis pancake hat to her, and say, “pleasant, day for a stroll, you know, by jove,” and if she wanted to “ stroll/’ she would say, “ Well, I should assimilate,” and that would settle it, bat if she didn’t want any foolishness sfao would toil him to go and walk a match with himself. There arc various theories as to the cause of Jacob’s weeping on that occasion. Wbitelaw Reid, of New York, one of the great eat commentators, gives it as his opluion that Rachel had been eating onions, and that when Jake kissed her and got a sniff of the odor bo had to cry. That looks reasonable, bat it is moro probable that Rachel bit bins. Sup pose Rachel had uot been kissed for several months, and wanted to be kissed real bad. She was a warm hearted, splendid girl, and when Jake dropped his jug and took her io bis arms, there behind the well curb, where nobody could see them, aud was about imprint ing the kiss on her mouth, she looked up into his eyes and bit him. She couldn't help it. Rsch el should not be blamed for caus ing Jacob to cry, and evidently he did not blame her, because he mar ried her. Very likely that one kiss that caused him to weep was what settled tbe business with Jake. Rachel did very wrong, no doubt, in allowing tbe strange man to kiss her before she bad learned his name, or what house he travel ed for, but If she needed a kiss at that moment, promised herself that it should not count, and that it should not occur again, considering bow it turned-out, and how happy they were os long as they lived, wo should not at Ibis late day lay it up against Raphe!. However, girls of to*day should be introduced to men, and know what their Inten tions are, and learn something of their stauding in society before they givo them a kiss and cause them to weep. Such things have tho appearance of boldness, and are uot right.—Peck's Sun, Sound Doctrino. Every physician and every scien tist who has mode a ttudy of the physical and mental organizition of roan will tell him that no man can violate any of the laws of na ture without taking from himself omethiug which ha can nevor get back. This is true of tho physical, mental and moral man. No mat ter what a man’s religious belief may be, there ore certain rules of morals which if bo violates ho pays the ponalty for, and no matter what his ideas of physical life may bo there are rules governing just as inflexible, the violation of which brings a ponalty just as certain.

The gratification which wealth can botow is not In mere posses sion, nor in lavishing it with prod igality, but in tho wise application of it. ' There Is no policy like politeness; And a good manner is tbo best thing iu tbe world, either to get good name or supply tho want of it. Fame, as a river, is narrowest where it is broad, and broadest afar off, so exemplary writors depend not upon the gratitude of tbe world.

Do Buei. Cariosities of the Sea. New York Son.] Many curious forms of fishes have recently been found in tbe deep soa. One fish, dredged from a depth of nearly three miles from the surface, shows a complete tned ification of structure. At tbi« dis tance from the surface the pressure can hardly be realized. It is esti mated that this fish has to contend against a pressure equal to two and one*half tons to every square inch of surface. A sealed glass tube, inclosed io a perforated copper cov ering, has at two miles beeu re* duced to fino powder, while the metal was twisted out of shape.— Yet, the fishes are so constructed that they withstand the pressure. Their bony aud muscular systems are net fully developed ; tho bones are permeated with pores and fis suras. Tho calcareous matter is at a minimum, and tbo bonus of tbe vertebra) are joined togothcr so loosely tbnt in lifting tho larger fishes out of the water they often fall apart, Tho muscles are oil thin, aud tho connective tissue seems almost wanting. Yet these fishes »ro ablo to dart about and capture prey. Suulight penetrates only about 1,200 feet below tbe surfaco of the sea. At 8,000 toet the temperature lowers to 40 degrees Fuhr., and from about a mile from the surfaco to the bottom, four or five miles, the temperature is shout the s&me tbe world over—just abovo freez ing. How do the fisl.ee and other forms that ltvo here see? Their eyes are modified as well as their other parts. The fishes that live 500 feet from the surface have larger eyes than those iu the zone above them, so that they can absorb tbo faint rays that reach thorn. In a zouo below this many forms with small eyes begin to have curious tcutaclcs, leclers, organs of touch. Many ot these Utep sea fishes bavo special organs upon their sides aud heads, that me known to pos sess a luminous quality. Other organs are considered accessory oyes, so that tho fishes have rows of eyes upon their ventral surfaces looking downward, while near arc luminous spots that provide tliem with light. One of the largest of tbeso deep sea torch bearers is a fish six feet long, with a tall dorsal fin extend ing nearly tho entire length of tbo body. Tho tipi of this fin aro lu minous, and also a broad patch upon its head. Along tho sides of the body are a double row of Jumi nous spots. One of the most ferocious of those deep sea forms is tbe Chan* liodus. Its month is fairly over.* flowing with teeth that protrudo in a most forbidding manner. The fins are all tipped with flaming spots, while along the dorsal sur* face' extends a row of spots that appsar liko so * many windows in tbo fish, through which light is shining. The little fiskes csllsd Bombay ducks are luminous over their entire surfkce, and when numbers ars collected together they present an astonishing spectacle. One of tbe most interesting of those giv* ers is the Cbiasmodus, a fish that attains a length of only thirteen inches. The top of ita bead is the principal light-giving organ, and iu fins gleam with phovphprescent light. It is not alone retnarkable as a light giver. It turn- a jaw so arranged that it can aeixo fiab twice iU size and easily swallow thorn.— IU stomach has the elastic quality of India robber. It stretches to enormous proportions, and appears like a great transparent t balloon boogiug under the fish and con taining its prey, d Tbe last expedition seat out by Franco brought to light some re markable forms. The dredge off Morocco brought up from a depth of over one ami a half, miles a fish that appoared to ha all bead or mouth. It was of smell >ize, end the length of th^ntoutb was about four-fifths of the entire body, so that, if the body had been severed behind the brad, it <m& two or ibreo like it could bava been stow ed away in tho capacious pouch.— It probably moves very slowly,- scooping mud und ooze into rite mouth, sifting out the animal ports and rejecting tbs ; tis« Be wisely worldly, not worldly Food for Thought, To know how to wait is the great secret of atfocesr. . - Those who can command them* selves command others.

Every time we sin there is some* thiug iu cur souls that sounds tbe death knell. A compliment is usually accom panied with a bow, as if to beg pardon for saying it. Every day is a little life, and our whole life only a day repeated many times. Our happiness and our misery are trusted to our conduct, and made to depend upon it. Happiness grows at our oWu firesides and is uot to be picked in strangers gardens. If you would never have an evil deed spoken of in connection with you, don’t do one. The beam of the benevolent aya givvth value to tho bounty which tho hand dispenses. Of all the evil spirits abroad at this hour in tbe world, insincerity is the most dangerous. Tbo two powers which In my opinion constitute a wise mau aro those of bearing aud forbearing. How many people would be mute if they were forbidden to speak well of themsalrea and evil of others. Tbe more we fear, the lees reason we have to fear; that Is, if we fear God, wo need not fear anything else.
