Early Marriage.
Thcreare htiuJreiisof young men
that should be moriied who are not
marited. To marry early is discreet
and wise. And when men and wo.-*
men are of a marriageable age, I
think it.is to be in general true that
it is wholesome lor them to be mar.
ried. It. is not necessary that
should remain single because they
stand in pov ry, lor iwo can Ive
cheaper than one if they live wi.b di
rection, if they live wiih co-operative
zeal, if they live as they ought to
live, II the young man is willing to
seem poor when be is poor ; if ;ho
young woman, being poor, is wil
ling to live poorly : if they are wil.
ling to plant their lives together like
two seeds, and wait for their growth
and look lor t heir abundance by and
by, when ihey have fairly earned it,
then it is a good thing tor them to
come early inio this partnership
For characters a lapt themselves to
each other iu the early periods of'
life :ar more easily than they do af
terwards. They who marry early
are lik vines growing together and
twining round and round each oilier
whereas, multitudes of those who
marry Lite in life stand side by side
like two iron columns, which, sepa
rated at the beginning, never come
any nearer to each oi her. There is
no school which God ever opened,
or permitted io be opened, which
young people can so ill atoid as the
school of cure and responsibility and
labor in the household ,* and a young
min and young woman marrying
no ma ter lion whit s>u:ce ill y

their lathers have stood, one if the

discretion, is to be wil j. g u> b gin

of ihe funis hoi I life, so Unit tliev

would not L’ive u;i the first ye ns ol

I 1 ve in a fug house with a br--wa

periences ol u(y life w« re tho-e
through which I passed iu Indiana
when I hired two eh untiers uji-tuir.*.
when ad my furniture was given to

and when the \e-y c'oihes which 1
had ou mv baik had been worn by
Judje Bitney la fore me. YVe were
not able to hire a servant. We had
to seive ourselves. It was a study
every day how to g. t along with
oursinall means, and it was a s udy
never io be fbrgott' ii. I owe many
of the pleasures which hive tun
thiough my life to being willing to
begin wheie 1 had to begin, and to
fight poverty w th love and lo over

service and helpfulness, and in all

Mark Twain on Chambermaids.
Against all chambermaids of what
s >ever age or nationality, I lau ch
Ihe curse ol bachelor Join !
B -cause :
They always put ihe pillows at
the opposite end of the bed from ihe
gas burner, so that while you read
and smoke before sleeping (as is ihe
ancient and honored custom of bach
elors) you have lo bold your book
alo't, in an uncorn to riab'e position,
to keep the light from dazzling your
eyes. \
If they cannot get the light in an
uncomfortable postion any other
wav they move the tied.
If you pull your trunk out six in
ches from the wall, so that the liJ
will stay op when you open it, they
always shove that trunk hack again.
They do it on purpoS**.
They also put your boots into in
accessinle places. They chiefly
enjoy depositing them as far under
the bed as the wall will permit. It
is because this co-npe's you to get
down in an undignified attitude and
make w ; ld sweeps for ihem in the
dark with the b orjack, and swear.
They always put the match box
in some other place. They bum up
anew place for it every day, and
put a bottle or other perishable glass
thing where the box s ood before.—
This is to cause you to break that
glass thing, gtoping about in the
dark and get jpur-e f into trouble.
They are forever moving the fur
niture* When you corfle in, in the
night, you can caleul ate on finding
she bureau whera the wardrobe was
in the morning. Anti when you
come in at midnight, or thereabout,
you will fall over the rocking chair,
and you will proceed toward the
window and set down in a slop tub.
'phis will disgust you. T hey lik
that.
No matter where you put any
thing, they won’t let it stay there.
They will take and move it t ie first
chance they get.
They always s ive up the old scraps
ol printed rubbish you throw or ihe
floor, and slack them up cirefully
on the table, ard then start ihe
fire with your valuable manuscript.
And they use more hair o 1 than
any six men.
They keep always coning to m ike 1
your hed before you get up, thus de- 1
stroying your rest and inflicting ago
ny on you. but afn-r you get up itmy !
don’t come any mere till the n. xtl
day.
HOW TO TRAIN UP A BOY.
Directions for S’ariin-j Him Off in the
Way He Should Go.
Have you a boy from five to eight
years old ? If s>, it i* a muter of
the greatest iniporfane that you
train him up right. Tea h him from
the start that he cau’c iu i aero s
the floor, whoop, ch tse around the
back yard, or use up a few nails and;
bo.tid9 to m ike cars or bo it-. It
you let him cfms ■ around lie’ll weai
out shoes and c'othes. a -d nails and
boards cost money.
Train him to cnnrol his appe ite,
give him the sin ilLst piece of pie, the
bme end of the steak—-the small po
tat e,and keep the huiter-dish out
of his r< ach. By teaching him to
curb his appetite you can keep him
in ago and humor. Boys are a!wa\s
good humored w h n hunger gmws
at their s o n.i' l.s. If tie happens to
b eak ad sh, tlinsli hi n for it—th n
will rnend the dish and teach him a
lesson »t the same lime.
II you happen to no i e iliatyour
boy’s shoes are wearing out, take
down the ro I and give him a peel
ing 'l’ll se shoes were pu cliasei
only leu months ago, and chough
you have worn out two pa r of bont<
(1 iring th.H time the boy has no bu
-ine-s 1 1 b• sc liar ! on sines. Bv
giving limi a sound tliras'iiug yo i
will pieveut lie shoes from wearing
o ,t
When you want you boy to gi on
an errand, y m should s:a'e it and
add ; ‘-Now go as quick as yoi) cun,
and if you are gone over live min
uirs I’ll cot the hi Jo < ff your buck.”
He will I'oc -g'iize the neces-it7 of
haste and will hurry on. You
| cou'd not do the errand yourself in
side of fifteen minoes, but fie is not
to know that- If you want hin to
pile woo I, the way to ad Iress him is
tiiusly: “Now, see here, Hm y, I
waul every stick of that wood piled
up before uoo >. If l c-oine home
and find you haven’t done i', l’.i lick
you ti I you c.ui’t stand up.”
Ii is more than a hoy of his size
oug'ii io do in a whole day, but you
are not to blame t-mt i e is not
ttiir.een years old ins ead of < ight.
If you hear that anyone in the
neighborhood ha* broken a window,
stolen lrult or unhinged a gate, he
sure ih.it ii was your boy If he
denies it, lake down the rod an I tell
him that you vvi 1 thrash him to
death if he doesn’t ‘own up ’ but
that you will spare hi n if he do. s.
11c will own up to a lie io get rid ol
ihe ihra*hing, and ihen you can
talk to him about the faie of the liars
and bad boys, and end up by s tying :
‘Go to bed, now, and in the morns
iug I’d attend to your case.’
If you take hi n to cnurch, and
he looks arou and, kicks the seat, or
smiles at so me boy acquaintance,
tluashe him the ino nem yo i get
Ii nne. He oughl ;o luve been
listening to the sermon. If he sees
all the other boys going to the cir*
cus, and wants fifteen cents to take
li n iu,tell him whit awful wicked
dungs circuses are—how they de
moralize b »ys —bow lie ought io be
thrashed lor even seeing the pioces
sum go by—and then when lie’s
sound asleep do you suetk ofl, pay
half a dollar to to goin, and coine
home astonished at the menagerie,
and pleased with the wmleif.l
gymnastic feats.
Keep your b »y steady at school—
have woi k for him every ho:iday—
thrash him it he warns to go fishing
or muting—restrain his desiie for
skates, kites, and marbles—rout bun
out at daylight, cold or hot—cufli'
his ears for asking questions— make
his c'oth*e out of y-nij; cist-ofT gar
ments, an I you’ll have ilia sitisfic-*
lion, when old and gray headed, of
knowing thai you would h ive traiu
ol tp u useful merab -r of s iciety
bad he noi died just as ho was get
ting well broken .ii.

j That Steam Potato-Digger.
j The Danbury News man gives a
J dig at potato-diggers in this way :
“lu fiie Fianklin institute fair, h,
Philadelphia they have on exhibition
a ‘steam p >taio-digg<- r ,’ which is
‘warreme-l to do the work of sixty
men.’ Ii interested me very much,
j because only a few days before I
j heard Cooley tell of his expcience
; with one ol these in ichiues. He put
it into Ins potato field, and for a

any at ention to the pota'oes. Coo

purpose of shutting ofl’ the steam,
but lie must have (Milled the bar die
wrong way, for n > sooner had he

and started on a bee line across the

Many young men who have lathers
tluu aie vv-ll off, have no ambition,
and no part’cu'ar prosp<ct. They
.-corn h trad-. A man that is too
well born liir a tra le is very well
b rn lor a gnllow.s! Thousimls of
par nts, who, by industry, have
gained a position which enables
them to and stroy their children, take
th ■ surest way io accomplish their

they grow up, to leel that ii is a dis

Many young men are looking for'
waid upon life wi h the general idea
to enjoy themselves. They are pro
vide'l with all the need lul physical
comforts, and they mean to be hap
py. Th y slight their profession.—
I'heir whole governing principle iu
1 fe is to shirk anything like work,
and they expect to have enjoyment
without industry. But no mm in
this world vvili be happy who vio
lates the fnndaine dal Utv of indus

you think it is Inrd, but if God lnd
meant that you should be a butter

Andasyoj were not born a moth or

A young g -mlern hi and his la ly
l'tv j were out tiding and enjoying
the loveliness of a magnificent June

“My dear, it is eleven o’clock.—
How qeickly time flies when you

Tne lady who hid been sdeut for

“I w isi 1 c»uld say the sanv\”
••Humph!” replied the young
