yViISCELLANEOUS.
The Habit of Defaming.
If there is one human Lull more com
mon than another, it is that of reflecting
upon people behind their backs.* Every
variety of deiamer is everywhere found,
from the malignant calumniator, who libels
with poisoned tongue, to the careless go*-
siper who habitually talks about ana criti-'
cis**s others. “There are some percoos,”
wrote WalUston in his R ligion of Nature.
‘ who carry their stories imm family to
family and propagate them very fust, like
little insects? There n*-e few, very few, who
have the will and the ability to represent
thing* truly.” “The same man/’ says
Arthur Helps, “who would he ashamed of
talking at hazard about the properties of a
flower, of a weed, of some figure in geome
try. will put forth his guesses ah"ut the
character of bis brother man fts if he had
the fullest Authority for all that he was
saying.” Often an entire neighborhood is
prejudiced in advance against anew comer
by some slur which an acquaintance has
l#*r drop. Who is there that has not expe
rienced the injustice of a remark made iu
anger or envy ?
The habit of criticising grows on what it
feeds upon, until those who yield to it, not
unfrcquenHy, become confirmed raisers or
back biters. From force of habit they look
for the foults and flaws of others, and seem
ingly take satisfaction in detecting and ex
po-sing them Did it ever occur to you,
reader to keep an account, lor a single day,
of the many persons you have spoken
against, justly or unjustly ?
Generally speaking, the individual whom
everybody likes is the one who speaks
kindly of everybody, who instead of retail
ing scandal or unpleasant facts concerning
persons, always has a good word or keeps
quiet • ‘‘He never says anything against
any one.” ‘ lie w ? as never known to breathe
a word against a soul,” are remarks which
we occasionally hear made of persons. We
have two such acquaintances now in mind,
and we never witness the cordiality with
which they are everywhere received, with
out thinking that it pays to keep a bridled
tongue.
Suppose you resolve at the begining of
the week, that you will not make >.n unkind
remark against any one ; that though this
or that may be true, you will not repeat it ;
depend upon it, you will be much happier
when next Sabbath comes roun I for ever
having made the resoiution, though you
have not wfiolly kept it. Dut after a time
vou will he able to carry it out. The habit
of restraint and maintaining silence, will
ultimately become formed, so that you can
withhold your fling when others are pulling
people’s characters to pieces. —Southern
Christian >1 ’ivoente.
A M«»nkky on the Rampage.—A mon
key, remarkable for his knowledge of men
and tilings, and loving liberty more than
hannas, slipped his chain on Sunday, in the
aviary on Kearney prreet between Califor
nia and Dine. Jocko’s first proceeding was
a close examination of the canaries. After
several ineffectual attempts to get one
through the bars of its cage he was seized
with indignation arid taking a round turn
with his tail on a stanchion, he grasped the
cage in both paws and burled it angrily at
a mocking bird, who, with her bead twisted
knowingly, was surveying his prank". A
veteran parrot with all the gravity of a
member of the Academy of Sciences, chat
tered her disapproval of these doings, and
demanded a cracker in a voice broken with
excited remonstrance. The aud icions mon
key responded by cbinrering up to Polly’s
cage and thrusting his paw through the
bars in a defimt manner. The parrot
grabbed it at once and held on like a vice,
while Jocko moaned and apologized and
Iretted ; but Poll made the best of the sit
uation anj held her grip. At last the mon
key wrenched the suffering paW from his
sharp beak, and darting down to a small
bird cage flung it aV his enemy, who
screamed, “Shut the denr !” and “Send for
the and >ctor S’’ with the view of calling to the
rescue a little white poodle and *g, who was
looking on in amazement. The latter, un
derstanding tnat something was elpected
of him, and not being proof against an
appeal from one of the gentle sex in distress,
stood upon bis bind legs and walked around
the shop barking vigorously. The fiendish
monkey was on him in a second, and strad
dling him. promptly c< mmenced to chaw
his ta b The pood'e yelped in .igonv, but
the ineX'Tibie monkey had no compassion
for the parrot’s defender, and varied in tor
ture by twisting the pupy’s ears. The
proprietor, arriving on the scene, captured
the monkey, to Polly’s delight, and J >cko
was again put in chains.— San Francisco

will have a decided flavor of the roots. This

Tl»r (JooUold Illblr,
A Mrginia banker, whtf was chairman
of an infidel club. Was once traveling
through Kentucky, hating with him hank
bills to the amount of $26 000. When I e
came to a lonely forest. where r .bberlea
and murders were said to be frequent, be
was soon ljMt. through rid ng the wrong
road. The darkness of rbo night soon came
quickly over him, and how to escape from
the threatening danger he knew not. In
his alarm he espied at n distance a dim
ight, and urging hi*'h use ohward be at
tonght came to a wretched looking cabin,
lie knocked; the door was opened by a
woman who raid her husband was out
bunting, but would cheerfully give him
shelter for the night. The gentlfman put
up his horse and entered the cabin, but
with feelings that can be better imagined
than described. Here he was with a large
sum of money perhaps in the house of a
robber whose name was a terror to the
country.
In a short tunc the man of the house re
turned. lie had on a deerskin shirt, a
cap, and seemed much fatigued
and in no talking mood. All this boded
the infidel no go and. He felt for his pistols
in his pockets, and placed them so ns to be
ready for instant use. The man the
traveller to to bod, but he determined
to sell h’.s life as dearly as ho could. Ilia
fears grew into a perfect agony. Whut
was to be done ?
At length the back woodsman arose, and
reaching to a wooden shelf, took down an
ol l book, and said ;
“Well, strauger, if you wont go to bed, 1
will, but it ia always my custom to rend a
chapter of the Ugly Scriptures before I g;»
to bed."
What a change did these words produce?
Alarm was removed from this sceptic’s
mind. Though avowing himself an infidel,
he had more confidence it) the bible. lie
felt. Safe. lie lelt that a man who kept a
bible in his house, and bent his knees in
proyer, was no murderer or robber. He
listened to the good words, and slept as
calmly in that cabin as he did under his
father’s roof. From that night he ceased
to revile the good old bible. He became a
sincere Christian, and often related the
story of this eventful journey to prove the
folly of infidelity.
When do Men Die —Medical experience
proves thai, in chronic diseases, the greater
number oi deaths occur just before dawn.
This is eminently true of brain diseases,
and of all those related cases where death
results from an exhaustion of power,
through overwork, excessive excitement, or
nervous prostration. It is at the hour of
5 o’clock in the morning, that the life-force
is at its ebb, and succombs most readily to
the aspault of epilepsy, or paralysis, or of
the fatal lethargy that comes in those vivid-'
ly beautiful picture-di 6 in»s, for which
medical science lias as yet found no name,
and of which it has taken no sufficient cog
nizance. Nine-tenths of those who die in
this way exprire in their sleep. In many
such casses, if a friend were at hand to
waken the sleeper when the attack comes
on, or if he were to awaken by some acci
dental noise, he might, by a few simple
precautions, prolong his life for many years;
for the shock which proves fatal to the man
wrapped in deep sleep, when the system is
passive and relaxed, would he victoriously
repelled were it armed with all its wuking
energies. Men who do brain-work, and
who are on the shaddy side of forty, should
be on their guard against this insiduous
enemy. They should beware of 5 o’clock
am., fr it is a perilous hour. Do you
find yDurself unable to sleep, when you
retire fur the night, exhausted with the
day’s work ? Do you, in vain, turn from
One side to tho other? Does your brain
persist in working when you would fain
have it rest ? Do old saws and scraps of
rhyme, repeat themselves in your memory
with wearisome iteration, defying your ut
most eff >rts to silence them? Then I say
to you, beware ! You will be sure to sleep
at last. It is only a question of time; for
soon or late, nature will assert her rights.—

The following ingenious method of fibb
ing was recently practiced by an Illinois!
farmer residing on the banks of the Missies
eippi. lie cut two holes in the ice, some
distance apart, and pumped the water from
one hole and ran the current into the other.
This created a varum at the first opening,
and an artificial current in the wufer under
the ice setting toward the hole where the
pump was in operation. The fish in the
lake were so benumbed by the eold as to
be powerless to resist the current, hence
they were floated directly into the open
ing of the ice, where they were scooped rut
by the thousand. Other people may take a
hint.
