A young fellow at Council Bluffs writes oa follows: “ What do you think of a young lady, while in the company of a dude masher, re marking of an old schoolmate of hers, ’that he is a good boy, but tied to his old mother’s apron strings, and is of no good on earth.' Will not the boy come out ahead if he supports and cares for the mother ?** Come out ahead ? Weil, of course he will. A girl who would make such a remark is not worthy to blacken the shoes of a boy who is kind to his old moth er. Such a girl has got no more hftPrt in her than a turnip, nud is only fit—O, she isn’t fit for any thing. Sho ought to be tuken across the kueo of her own mother uutil sho thinks it is about the middle of August. It is such girls us this one that wo hear of playing the piauo while tho mother is mending her stockings or wushing her white clothes. It is such a girl that tells her mother to mind her own business when the old lady advices her not to stay out more tb:m two or three hours after mid night with a dude. It is such girls that go to the devil Hying, at the leusl possible excuse, uud the first opportunity. Tho meanest men in the world are these who o allowed themselves to drill tv from their mothers uud for get all about them. Tho best and bravest men in tho world are those who have never* been so proud as wlu-n/loing/omething pleasant for kind old mother. The most heartless thing in the world is for a person to make such a remark ns that quoted above about a young i who is proud of his mother, loves her so that a tear in her is like a drop of melted lead on heart. Tho young inau who rd of such n remark being made about his relations with his mother, no doubt felt that ho Imd rather not have heard of the re in irk, but it is lucky that ho did, if ho (bought f.e had any affection for that girl. Sho would not have said it iu his hearing, which shows that she is a hypocrite uud a two- sided person, if he married that girl he would have a littlo hell of his own. Much a girl would make u nun wish he had never seen any woman except his own mother. No matter how close the relation between a mother an I sou, a day is liable to como when the son “ " fiiid a girl that lie wilt marry, though ho may not think lest of hi mother, he will not havo quite m much fimo to devote to h< r, but if he is such a son as the nuo above mentioned, them will never he day but ho will think of something that can be done lor his mother. His good wife, it she is good, will join him in anything that cun make tho mother who boro him happy. And a day will come when the mother will lay down her knit ting, and take oil’ her spectacles, and her burden of life will be laid down, and her last prayer will bo for the son who has been joked by a fool girl for being tied to her apron strings, and sho will close her eyes in death with tho feeling that of all God’s best gifts to a mother, a dutiful, loving son is tho greatest. Thoso sons who have followed tho counsel* of a loving mother, and who havo perchance followed the remains of tlmt moth or to tbo grave uud heard the cold clay rattle ou her last t esting place, and who have gone a way fium the scene with hearts Lowed and brok en, will never, in their choice of u partner for file, Uke one who has ever spoken unkindly of a son who is bind to bis mother. No boy need ever be asbamed to be called bis mother’s boy, and no person with a soul to save will ever make trifling remarks on so sacred a miller. The Council Bluffsyoung man is advised to keep tied to the apron strings of that mother of his until be finds a girl different from the one he has quoted. Let the dude have her. All a dude is fit for is to carry a poodle for such a female idiot.—Vectfi Sun. "The Sundays in Man’s Life. 1 ' In one of the English eoal mines thero is what the miuets call a Sunday stone. Water charged with lime is trickling through the rock, aud os it falls is making con stant deposits of puro whito lime stone. But when tbo miners are at work and aro scattering the coil .dust all about, the water becomes charged with coal as well as lime, and the stone which otherwise wero while takes upon itsdf the black coal hue. But when the Sabbath comes, and the men coaso working, and the whirl : ng coal dust settles, then upon tlm blackness of tbo deposit of the day beforo begins to drop the cleau lima water, leaving as it trickles oil* the pure whito stone. And so, by tho regularly recurring line of whitemss record is made of the coming to the tired miners of God’s day of rest. Into your tired lives conics, as well, the Sibbath witness. I know that some of you chooso to stain it with the earthly dust you a ill not let lie quiet on God’s Sabbath, Hut that is your fault, not God b. Onco n woek, he gives you this white protected day. And when you count up what George Herbert sings ns “the Sun days of mau’s life threaded logeth er on Time’s strir g,” their amount is startling, if you will reckou it hv your arithmetic. Tho young man who has reached the ago twenty years has received from the hand of God nearly threo solid years ofSablaths. He who has reached tho ago of forty years has received Irotn the hand of God nearly six solid jears of Sabbaths. The man who has reached tho ago of sixty years has received from the hand of God nearly nine solid years ol Sabbaths. Cau it bo truo that we have no time to seek God i n't They mean much—these Sab baths. Tho tempest of toil is husii cd bcnoith their “l’cace bo still.” The Hraiu of life loosens itself a little. Not for thorn, the hurry of the street ar il the scramble of the market. Not needfully for the Sabbath the anchoring tho thought to the humdrum tasks. As when ships, sale from the swelling and tho buiTeting8 t f tho ocean, ride quietly in Homo fair harbor, so ou iho restful Sibbath may your soul find mooring:. This im tho d/ty vi ill j for higher and other tbings. This uud is the day when the soul tntiy close Tho custom of wearing bangs can be traced back almost to tbe creation of tbe world.

This is tho day for spiritual stimulations. • Tho “Sundays of miin’s life, threaded together on Time's string,” thero years of tin in, what havo we done, what aro wo doing with them all ? A solemn quo*, lion this, A Legal Excoso. Although tho country is well supplied* with professional jury men, yet at every term of court thero are men summoned who would pay any price and offer any excuse to be released from such a duty. Tho other day, at a rural Arkansas court, a largo number of busy farmors were in waiting, hav iug been summoned to servo their country. Each man had an excuse. Old man Slimturo said: •'Judge, I would like very much to be excused. I am busy putting in my crop, aud when I am away everything is at a standstill.” “I cannot excuse you,” the Judge replied. Another man said: ''Your bon- or, I am postmaster at Stoney Ridge. I have no deputy, and if I am compelled to serve, tbo people of my neighborhood must do with out their mail.” “ Not a legal excuse, sir; take your seat.” Then old man Saackwilder arose: 'Judge,” he began, ‘‘I've got an excuse what will appeal to every man in tbia here room. I am run- nin* a atiltbouse, an' if I stay away, none o’ tbe folks ken git whisky.” Your excuse is legal,” leplied the Judge. “Uo home and dis charge your duty as a citixen.”— Arkansas Traveler. An Illinois farmer would not buy a sulky plow for fear it would not work. He said ho once had a ■alky boy on the place, and be never could depend on him. Home men who claim to be self- made wen are uo*t vary well done. A Billion. What ir a billion ? In the French system of notation, which is also used in the United States, it is a thousand million. But the Eugli8h system gives tho name billion to a million million. The word is usod in tho latter senso in this article. Sir Henry Bessemer, the famous inventor, who is in the habit of oc. cupyiug his leisuro with curious calculations for the amusement of his grandchildren, tried to convey souie idea of the immensity ex pressed in this littlo word. He took it successively as a measure of time, of length and of height. Selecting tho second as a unit to bo used iu tho first calcu lation, bo begau with the startling assertion that a billion seconds have uot yet elapsed Biuce tho com mencement of tho Christian era— nor, indeed, even a sixteenth part of that number. A billion seconds make 31,GST days, 22 boars, 45 minutes and 5 seconds. Iu regard to length ho chose for his unit, tho English sovereign, a coin of tho siz j of a half-eagle. A chain of a billion sovereigns would be long enough to pass bov< on hundred nnd Bixty-lhreo times around the glebe; or, 6Uj»poso all these coins laid tiilo by side, each iu contact with its neighbor, it wou’d form about the earth a gol den zone fifty-six feet six inches wide. The satno cluiii, wero it stretched out straight, would make a line a fraction owr 18,028,446 miles in extent. For measuring height, Sir Hen ry chose for a unit a single sheet of such paper as that upon which tho London Times is printed—a meaNuro of about one three hun dred thirty-third of an inch in thickness. A billion of theso thin sheets, pressed out Hat and piled vertically up.m each other, would attain the nllitudo of foity-scven thousand three hundred and forty- eight miles,— Youth'8 Comj>an» ion. How tho Polar Boar Spond3 tho V/intcr. As soon as the winter shuts down, when snow begins to fall huavily and the shortening of tho days indicates the approach of tho long night which reigns in the frigid Zone, the female polar bear seeks some nook where there is a com fortable carpet otmoas and lies down. She has bad it long sum mer tf sen! catching and chin be in ry picking, and under her hide thick Infers ol Ini. Hhc feels fntiguod and drowsy, and strotch< ing herself in the leo of a rock she goes to sleep. Perhaps that very first night the leaden clouds shako down the thick-flying flakes, and for days and days it not once stops snowing; but the boar never looks out (o sco what is happening. She is contentedly asleep aud suck ing her paws—so is Is said, but J won’t vouch for that—and lets tho snow drift ever her until sho buried a dozen or more foci deep in that fl'ecy mound. But the snow by no means lies close upon her, os it would upon a hurried log. Tbo heat of her body keeps it thawed tor a little distance, that sho is in a anowvcavo rather than immersed in a drift, while tho warmth of her breath keepi open a littlo chimuoy up through the roof, so that she is in no daugcr of suffocation. In tbe spring, when tbe advanc ing sun begins to woaken the icy shell over her, tbo female bear, now a toother of two little fellows about as big as Spitz dogs, rouses herself, breaks out through the snow, and leads forth her little cubs Into the world; but sometimes, when repented meltings and freez ings havo caked tho surface of the snow above her unusually hard, sho is too weak with her long fast and the suckiiug of bor bairns to break through, and * so all threo starve to death in their snow pris- Tbis is the extreme of hiber nation. The grizzly and black bear are not pushed to such hard conditions, finding plenty of shel ter in hollow trees and hollow, leaf strewn spaces under fallen ones.—Exchange. To relievo heartburn, mix a lit tle corn meal in water; allow the tneal.to settle, and driuk tbe water. Or cat a bit of powdered charcoal. These will often relieve when mag nesia or chalk fail. Boys, Think of it. The following letter, taken from the ('oviugton Commonwealth, was written by a father to a son of dis sipated habits: My Dear Son: What would you think of yourself if you should come to our bedside every night, and waking us, tell us you would not allow us to sleep any more? That is what you ore doing and that is why I am up. Your moth er is nearly worn out with turning from side to side, and with sighing because you won't let her slcop. That mother who nursed you in your infancy, toiled for you in your childhood, and looked with pride and joy upon you as you wero growing up to mauhood,; as sho counted on the comfort and support you would giro her iu her declining years. Wo read of a most barbarous maimer in which ono of tho Orien< tui nations punishes some of its criminals. It is by cutting the flesh from the body in small pieces —slowly cutting the limbs, begin ning with the fingers nud toes, one joint at a time—until tho wretched victim dies. That' is just what you are dni.ig—you are killing your mother by iuchcs. You havo planted many of the whito hairs that arc appearing so thick in her head before their time. Your cruel hand is drawing tbo lines of sorrow on her dear face, making her look prematurely old. You might ns well stick your kuifu in her body every time you como near her, for your conduct is stabbing her to tho heart. You might ns well bring her cofiin and force her into it, for you are pressing her to ward it with very rapid slops. Would you tread on her body if prostrated on the floor? And yet with ungrateful foot you aro tread ing on her heart and crushing out life and joy—no, I need not say joy, for that is a word wo have long ceased to see, because you havo taken it away from us. Of course wo have to meet our friends with smiles, hut. they littlo know the bitterness within. You have taken tho roses out of your sister's pathway, nnd scattered thorns in stead; and from the pain they inflict Be dding tears are often scon court ing down her checks. Thus you aro blighting her life as well as ours. And what can you promise your gulf for tho future? Look at the miserable, bloated, ragged w retch- oi Whom you meet every day, and aoc in them the exact picture of what you are coming to, and will bo la a few years. Then in tbe end a drunkard’s grave and drunkard’s doom ! for the Bible says: “No drunkard shall inherit the kingdom.” Where fhen will you be ? If not in tho kingdom of God you must ho somewhere else. Will not theso considerations in duce you to quit at onco aud for all time ? Aod may God help you, for IIu can and will if you caruesp ly ask it. Your affectionato but sorrow< stricken father. “Talk about the jiws of death l” exclaimed a man who ii living with his third scolding wife. “I tell you they aro nothing to tho jaws of life l” Why Peoplo Got Married. Though it is very common to re proacli old bachelors with their ce libacy, and to pity old maids as if “ single blessedness wero a misfor tune, yet many married people have seen fit to offer opologies for h&V 1 ing entered into what some pro fane wag has called the “ holy bauds of padlock.” Ono mau says he married to got a housekeeper ; another to get rid qf bad company. Many women declare they get mar ried for the sako of a home , few acknowledge that their motive was to get a husband. Goethe avorred that ho got mnrried to bo “ respect able.” John Wilkes said ho took a wife “ to pleaso his friend.”— Whycherly, who espoused his housemaid, said he did it “ to spite his relations.” A widow, who married a second husband, said sho wanted somebody to condole with her for t'jo loss of her first. An other, to get rid of incesiant im portunity from a crowd of suitors. Old inaids who get married invari ably assure their friends that they thought they could ho “ more use ful ” as wives than as spinsters.— Nevertheless, Quilp gives it ns his opinion that nine-tenths of all per sous who marry, 'whether widows or widowers, virgins or bachelors, do so for tho Hake of—getting mar ried.—Exchange. X War Narrative. Don’t forget tbo poor,” urge* a country editor. It isu't ofteu that an editor puls in a pull* for him self, hut occasionally he is driven to it by necessity. ‘•Sara, how do you expect to get that mule aior.g with a spur only on ono side?” Sam—“Well, boss, if I gits dat s'hlo to go, ain’t do ud der one boon* to keep up ?” It may not lie known to every person that is troubled with hic cough, that a lamp of sugar aalura- ted with vinegar will stop it almost instantly. A camel can carry a ton, and twenty pounds of hair, worth $2 &0 a pound, may bo sheared from his body every year. Tho man who purchased a porus plaster in order to draw an influ ence, died of a cold contracted by coming in contact with a sight draft. Better three hours too soon than one minute too late.—Shakespeare. It is a remarkable fret, that, however well youug ladies may lie versed in grammar, very few are enabled to decline matrimony. Tho Philadelphia Press tells how a bairel of or whisky saved Wash ington. from capture by Confede rates : The story has often boon told, but I do uot kuow that it was ever verified. Montgomery Blair told it to tnc himself a year or two be fore ho died. Wo of Washington cau never forget tho threatening days iu July, 1804, when the city was dcfcusclc^g, ami a largo force of Coufcderntos under Early and Breckinridge was not ten miles from tho capital.. No ono denies now that tho Confederates could have marched in aud token Wash ington almost unimpeded. The Sixth Corps of tho army of tho Potomac was cu routo to defend the city, but it was not quick enough. Tho enemy was halted at Silver Springs, tho country retidcnco of the older Blair, aud very near the residence of Montgomery Blair, Upon tbo approach of the army tho families of both tied to Washing ton. Tha Confederate officers searched tho houaos aul found iu tho ctliar of Frank 1'. 4 Blair’s house a barrel of whisky. This did the business. Nearly all the officers becamo drunk of this whis ky and muny of the men wore in a like condition. Such au orgie was never known. Tho drossci of tho ladies wero taken possession ol, aud in thorn tha officers masquera ded and held a jollification the wholo night long, fulliug into a drunken slumber in tho morning, and uuablo to do any work what ever. Early nnd Breckinridge, riding up in tbe morning saw tho situation and merely said: “ It It too late,” and so Washington was saved. The lion is tnid to bo baldest in tbe storm. His roar, it is said, never sounds so loud os in tbe pauses of the thunder; nnd when the lightning flashes, brightest are the flashes of bis cruel eye. Even so be, who gocth about as a roar ing lion seekiug whom he may devour, often seizes tho hour of nature’s greatest distress to assault us with bis fiercest temptations. Ho tempted Job when he was bow ed down with grief. He tempted Jesus when ho was faint with hun ger. He tempted Peter when he was weary with watching, and heart-broken with sorrow.—Er. Guthrie. The small boy who hangs around the parlor and makes faces at his sister's beaux should be punished for contempt of court. If a man will only start with a fixed and honorable purpose la life, and strictly and persistently at tempt to carry U ont to tbe beat of his ability, undismayed by fail ure or delay, tho time may bo long in coming, but come it will, when that purpose will be achieved. The Latin language ceased to be used ia tbo English courts in 1731. Pearli of Thought. When flattery is unsuccessful, ii is hut the fault of the flatterer. A good surgeon must have an eagle’s oye, a lion’s heart and a lady’s hand. Tho cup of pleasure sometimes has dregs that oce must drink long afterwards. He that Is choice of hit tfmo will also bo choice of his company, aud choice of his action. Good tasto regrets excessive nicely; it treats littlo things os lit* tie things, and is uot hurt by them. A gnat name is like an eternal epituph engraved by the admira« lion ol men on the road of time. Education is at homo a friend, abroad an introduction, in solltudo a solace, in society an ornament. Love, that 1ms nothing bnt.beau- ty to keep it in good health, ia short-lived, aud apt to havo ague fits. It is not till wo havo passed th lough the furnace tlmt we are made to know how much dross is in our composition. Uprightness in all our dealing! with ono another is a matter not of himrau convenience, but of diviue requirement. Associate yourself with men of best quality if you esteem your reputation, for it is better to be alono than in bad company. Any man may do a oisual act of good nature, but a continuation of them fthows it os a part of their temperament. Iu nil the superior peoplo I have met, I notice directness, truth spo* ken more freely, as if everything of obstruction, of malformation, has been trained away. Two Ways of Looking at It.
