Sterling Advice.
To a great extent the celibacy of our
young men is owing to the way in
which girls are brought up. Through
mistaken kindness, mothers often them
R elves do what they ought to make their
daughters do. Let them tench house
keeping on a methodical plan, and they
will then learn their history, French
and music all the better. It is natural
HU d right that a mother should wish to
see her daughter well educated ami
even highly accomplished; and it is a
mistake that good and careful education
nhould unfit a girl for the homely duties
of cooking, dusting and general house
work. On the contrary, thqpe duties
would be hotter performed if mothers
would at the same time that they seek
talented instructors for their daughters,
impart to them some of their own cul
inary talent; there would be morn good
wives and marriages. Little girls should
be taught, as easy as possible, to per
form simple household duties neatly;
and as they grow older, lot them becomo
gradually acquainted with the theory
of housekeeping in such a manner that,
when they are married, they will be
able to adapt themselves to their cir
cumstances, and be useful as well as
pleasiug companions to their husband.
Flowers for the Dead.
If frieuds would but have the good
taste to place a few simple flowers about
the departed ones, such as she or he was
fond of in life, it would he very fitting,
hut it is surely not in tasto to overload
the casket with flowers representing an
amount of money which would do
much good to the poor. And then the
custom of exposing the face of the gaze
of these making the tenr of inspection,
which is now almost universal in coun
try churches, is to ns another very un
pleasant feature of funerals. We often
read with interest of the burial rites of
comparatively unknown nations, and
are surprised and amused with their
peculiarities. Would not ours, in their
turn, present some features as conrious,
if read of by distant people? If personal
friends wish to take a last look of a
deceased friend, it is surely duo to them
to do so alone, and without being gazed
at by a crowd.
PARLOR GAMBLING.
Gratitudo for mercies, patient under
trials, congenial society and the hope of
heaven, will bring us all the happiness
that life can bear. Absolutely, there is
nothing beyond this but ttie life eternal
Accept this view, and waste no more
time and labor in seeking for happiness
where it is not.

Road Tax Notice.

There seems to have arisen some con*
fusion as to the purpose of the levy of
the commutation tax of $2.00 per head,
which is to be collected this Fall. This
levy is for THIS year, and is not in
tended for a commutation tax for
NEXT yenr as seems to have been un
derstood by some. It shall be the pol-
however, of the Hoard to collect
icy,
road tax only iu the Fall ol the yeur
hereafter so that next Spring there
will be no road tax collected, but the
road tax for the yenr will be collected
in the Fall. Hoad overseers are au
thorized to receipt for 190H only.

‘ I wns riding through the city of Chi
cago some little time ago, when I found
myself sitting in a street car with a gen
tleman, a friend of mine, w ho had been
a most conspicions success iu lus minis
try, and he ^aid: ’You know 1 am not
in the regular ministry now, and when
I asked him what he was doing, he said
I am conducting an anti-gambling
crusade.” Isnid: ‘Do you moan iu the
slumbs with gamblers? 'Oh, no,’ he
said. My work is with the young men
of the better families throughout the
country,’ and I asked him if there weie
many of them who had given them
selves up to gambling, and lie gave me
lignies which are really starling. 1
was jierfeotly amazed at what he said,
and then he told me that nine out of
every teu of all the men who are pio-
fessional gamblers today—I moan the
men that had come from tho so-called
better families of tho country—began
their gambling career by playing an in
nocent game of cards at home. When I
questioned his statement, lie proved it
to me beyond all question. I went to my
hotel that night, and sitting alone in my
room I found myself saying this: It is
not at all a question as to whether 1
could play cards without injury to my
self. I never tried that. I am sure I
; never shall. But it is a quostiou as to
I how far my influence shall bo used for
tho right or tho wrong. I have two
boys and if these boys should ever fall
at this point, which God forbid, I want
it to be true that they could never say
that their father did that which started
them iu their downward course; and 1
would sootier take a livo coal in my
hands and let it burn through the flesh
than to even tough a card. And I call
upon every man here to take the same
stand for his boys, and I earnestly
entreat every mother to take the same
stand, not only for her own children,
but for other mothers’ children. My
work lias largoly been among the men
of the country. I have heard their
stories as hot tears have rolled down
their cheeks. I have done my very best
to lead them to Jesus Christ. Almost
countless number of them have told me
that their sinful coarse begun with the
game of cards. You can understand,
therefore, how I say today that none
who culls himself or herself a Christian
should yield to this ttuiusemeut which
may be called, at the last, questionable,
but which by very many of us consider
ed sinful.
Iu a moil's meeting, recently conduct
ed by one of the most successful pastors
in Ohio, a couverted gambler aud ex-
siloou keeper made the following state
ment, which created a profound im
pression.
He said; “I have been in the saloon
business, with a gambling-room attach
ed, for the last four years, aud claim to
know something about what I am now
going to tell you. I do not believe that
the gambling den is near so dangerous,
nor does it do nuytliiug like the same
amount of harm as the social card party
iu the home. I give this as my reason:
Iu the gambling room the windows are
closed tight, the curtains are pulled
down; everything is conducted secretly
for fear or detection aud none but gam
biers, as a rule, enter there, while iu the
parlor all have access to the game, chil
dren are permitted to watch it, young
people are invited to partake in it. It is
made attractive and alluring by giving
prizes, serving refreshments and adding
high social enjoyments. For my part, I
never could see the difference between
playing for a piece of silver molded in
tho shape of money, aud silver moulded
in the simp of a cup, or a thimble. The
principal is the same aud whenever
property changes bads over the lack of
cards, no matter how small is the value
of the prize, 1 believe it is gambling.
Perhaps you have never thought of it,
but where do all the gamblers come
from? They are not taught iu the
gambling dens. A ‘greener,’ unless be is
a fool, nevef enters a gambling hall,
because he knows that he will be fleeced
out of everything lie possesses iu less
than fifteen minutes. He has learued
somewhere else before he sets footinside
of such a place. Wheu he has played
iu the parlor, iu the social game of the
home, aud lias become proficient enough
to win prizes among his frieuds, the
next step with him is to seek out the
gambling-room, for he has learned and
now counts upon his efficiency to #iold
his own. The saloon men and gamblers
chuckle aud smile when they read in
the papers of the parlor games given by
the ladies, for they know that after
awhile those same men will become the
patrons of their business. Isay, then, the
parlor game is the college where gamb
lers are made and educated. Iu the
name of God, men, stop this business in
yonr homes. Burn up your decks and
wash yoar hands. The other day
overheard two ladies talking on the
street. One said, T am going to have a
card party, and am going to the store to
buy a pack of * cards. Which are the
best kind to get? The other replied,
■Get the Angel card. It has an angel
on the back.’ “Think,” said he, “of
dragging the pure augels of heaven into
this infernal business. *
After he had taken his seat another
converted ex-gambler arose aud said:
“I endorsed every word which the
brother before me has just uttered. I
was a gambler. I learned to play cards,
not in the saloon, not iu my own home,
