The price wns low, the goods neemed all right, and lie made np bis tniud to purchase. “I "if yon de word of Andrew Sbackson dot dose pants are shnst like iron,” said the denier. “I war rants dem efery dime.” After three or four days wear the purchaser found the bottom of the pants crawliug towanls his knees.— It was n bud case of shrinkage, and he w:*nt back to the store and said: ‘Yon swindled me on those pants! See how they have shrunk !’ The denier looked him nil over, felt of bis bend, pulled on the pants, and Anally said. ‘I shall give you one thousand dollars a month if yon will travel with me.’ 'How—wlmt?’ ‘Yon arc shust growing right up at the rate of two inches n day, and I takes you aronnd the country on exhibition. Dose pnnts nro shust os long as efer, bnt yon liaf grown oudt of dem.’ I.don'tlielicve it!’ shouted the man, ‘I am 40 years old, and quit growing long-ago!’ T gif yon de word of Andrew Sbackson dot you was growing/ I don’t care whose word you give. I say these pants have shrunk down nearly a foot/ Has the top of those points shrank dowu any T softly ashed the dealer. ‘Why, no/ ‘Shouldn’t do vnistbonds shrink down shnst as queek as dose bot toms shrink up? If it’s in de cloth one part shonld shrink like de od der, eh ? When I sold you dot ele gant pair of punts for tree dollars I don't suppose you vas growing so fast or I shall haf pnt straps on de bottoms.’ ‘Well, I don’t like this way of do ing business,’ said the purchaser. Shust like me. If I sells such elegant pants os dose to a man, and he grows ontofdcm, it damages my trade. You haf damaged me five hoonered dollar but I haf low rent, pay cash for mein goods, and can make you dis fifty-cent tie for live cents. The mau walked out to the curb stone, and turning around, shook his fist and said: ‘You are a liar and a cheat and I dare you out here!’ ‘Such dings sink deep into my heart,’ sighed the dealer, as he took down his pipe.

No one like mother. No hand that falls on the fevered brow as softly os hers, no words so sympa thetic as those that pass her lips.— The house would be a grave withont her. Life would be a drea ry, thorny road withont her warn ing voice and guiding hand. A father may bo kind, may love not less, but the wearied child wants the mother's arms, her soft lullaby songs, the caresses cf her geutle hand.— All her childhood is a mixture of tears and joys. A kind word brings a, smile, a harsh word a sigh, a fall is pain, a toss of joy. The footsteps, weak and trembling, grown strong er by the guidance of a mother’s love. The little wounds, the torn clothes the headaches, the heartaches, the trials nil vanish at the words of a mother, and there is built up in the heart of every man an edifice of love and deep respect that no crime of this world can topple down or dun geon cell affect Aud a lad grows to be a man on ly find that “mother” is the same. If he errs, she weeps; if he is good and inanly, she rejoices. Hers the the only love that lasts— endures forever.

All the world may call her son a criminal, but the uiother only believes it not Tritils may beset you, storms gather over you, vexations come, ruin drag you down, but ♦here is one who ever stands firm in your cause, who will never leave you. 7 he criminal ou the scaffold has suffered because his bod deeds would cause a pang in a mother’s heart.

The Democrats held their own in almost every instance, and in some cases have gained very largely on the Presidential vote. In Rhode Island this is notably the case. The majority for Hayes and Wheeler in that State in November was over 4,000. On Wednesday the State elections resulted in a ma jority between 300 and 400 for ^ on Zandt, the Republican candi date, a loss of at least 3,GOO votes. The Republican majority will also be correspondingly decreased. One mefro such victory and the party is lost in that State. A wife said to her husband, who was scolding her. “However cross you may be, there is not a couple who live in greater unanimity than you and I; for we always desire the same thing—you want to be master, and so do I/* “Mother.” Who is a Gentleman! An exchange copies the following correct and comprehensive answer to the above question, and urges every child as well as grown person to commit it to memory, to be recited as often as practicable: A gentleman is not merely a per son acquainted with certain forms and etiquette of life, easy and self- posessed iu society, able to speak and act and move in the world with out awkwardness, and free from habits which are vulgar and in bad taste. A gentleman is something beyond this; that which lies at the root of all his pleasing is the same spirit which lies at the root of every Christian virtue. It is the thought ful desire of doing in every instance to others as he would that others should do unto him. He is con stantly thinking, not indeed how he may give pleasure to others for the mere scuse of pleasing, bnt bow he can show respect to others—how ho may avoid hurting their feelings. When he is in society, he scrupu lously ascertains the position and re lations of every one with whom he comes 111 contact, . that he may give to each his due honor, his proper position. He studies bow he may avoid touching in conversa tion upon any subject which may needlessly hurt their feelings—how he may abstain from any allusions which may call up a disagreeable or offensive association. A gentleman never alludes to, never even appears conscious of a person’s defect, bodi ly deformity, inferiority of talent, of reputation in the person in whose society he is placed. He never as sumes any superiority to himself— never ridicules, never sneers, never boasts, never makes a display of his own power, or rank or advantages —such as implied in ridicule, or sar casm, or abuse—as he never indulg es in habits, or tricks, or inclinations which may be offensive to others. Hadn Right to Laugh. There is a legend affirming that one day nearly a hundred years ago, the snow was seven feet deep on the streets of Detroit On that day not a woman was seen down town, hut next day, wheu the snow had settled a foot or so, they were out ont wandering through the slush and jamping the pools, and ono of them fell ‘kerslash!’ as she passed the soldiers’ moment. A man standing thirty feet away be gan laughing uproriouslv. He got red in the face, tears came into his eyes, and his hat fell os he laughed and cried ont: 'Went right down like a hag of sand into slush a foot deep scratch ed up to kill; never saw anybody look so cheap—ho ho! ho! ho!’ •You are no gentleman sir!’ re marked the man who hod witnessed the mishap. 'Can’t help that—ha! ha! ha! laughed the other, bending almost double. You haven't the first instinct of a gentleman, sir!’ continued the other growing very mad. ‘I know it, bat, ho! ho! ho screamed the other 'know jost how she felt when she went down carrying all that style, and I—ha! ha! ha!’ T don’t see anything so very fun ny in it,’ growled the other. 'No you don’t, but I—!’ And he hung to the lamp post and laughed till hi* legs weakened. When he had recovered his breath he explain ed to the crowd: It was my wife you see. She prob ably wanted a pair of shoestrings or two cent’s worth of silk twist, aud it took her three hoars to curl and twist aud powder and fix up to come down Here and wade around. Then to fall flat with all her best dads on, and to be helped np by a rag bnyer, and to hear the boys yell, ont, why it just taken all the ho! bo! muscle right ha! lia! out of me!’ A Generation on tbe March, A generation on the march from the cradle to Ihc grave is aa instruc tive spectacle, and we have it care fully presented to us in the report of Dr. Farr, an English physician. Let us trace the physical fortune which any milliou of us may reasonably ex pect The number, to begin with, is made up of 511,754 boys aud 488,255 girls, a disproportion which, by and bj’, will he rcdrcssc'd by the unduo mor tality of boys, and will be reversed be fore tbe close of the strange, eventful history. More than a quarter of these children will die before they arc five years old—in exact numbers, 141,^87 boys 121,795 girls. The uext five years will be less fata’.. Iu the succeeding five years—ftotn ten to fifteen—tbo mortality will be still further reduced. Indeed, for both sexes, this is the most healthful period oflife, the death-rate, however is lower for boys than for girls. There will be some advance in deaths in the next five years, and still more in the next five years, and still more in the five which follow, but 534,045 will certainly enter on their twenty-sixth year, before the next ten years arc at an end, two-thirds of the women will have married. The deaths during that period will be 02,- 052, and of those no fewer than 27,134 will be caused by consumption, be tween thirty-live and forty-five a still larger ‘death-toll’ will be paid, and little more than half the original band —in exact numbers, 502,915-will en ter on their forty-sixth year. Each succeeding decade, up to seventy-five, will now become more fatal, and the numbers will shriok terribly. At i’cnty-five ouly 101.224 will remain to be struck down, and of these 12: 540 will have perished by the eighty- fifth year of the march. The 38,550 that remains will soon lay down their burden; but 2,151 of them will strog- ;le on to be ninety-five, aud 223 to be one hundred years old. Finally, in the 108lh year of the course, the last solitary life will flicker out. Such, then, is the average lot of a milliou men and women. Charcoal for Hogs. I make it a constant practice to burn charcoal for my hogs. At first it is somewhat difficult to learn them to eat it» but by breaking it up into small pieces, and «pK»m* with shelled com in the trough, that is overcome. I have always been a largo hog raiser, and have never had cholera among my stock but once, and that was when I neglected to supply them with coaL As soon aa possible I again furnished them, and those that were suffering re covered, and no new cases occurred. I/y neighbors who do not use coal hate cholera constantly. I believe that with a good supply of coal the hogs fatten much tester with the eame amount of food. Haw to Spend Evenings. When Amos Lawrence first came to Boston, he boarded with a large number of young men who were clerks, like himself, or learning a trade. He was eager to acquire knowledge and to form good habits which might fit him to become a successful merchant He tried hard to persuade the other young men to spend their evenings at home read ing, and other ways for mutual improvement But most of them declined, saying that they worked through the day and needed rec reation. They preferred to go to places of recreation—to, concerts, balls and theatres. Mr. Lawrence in latter life, wbm giving good advice to one of his sons, referred to the history of these young men. They had every one become bankrupt in fortune, and most of them had also been wrecked in character. Those whq with him self, had spent the evenings at home, had prospered and lived useful lives, some of them attaining high dis tinction. He said to another friend: “It is on account of to mnch leis ure that so many fine youths are ru ined in this town.” Go On. A man must not yield to despon dency,nor sit down inactive,and des pairing, because be is In darkness. Sometimes a few steps onward or upward are all that ore needed, and he for want of that little activity may remain all his life beneath the cloud. Perhaps you have been as cending a mountain with the mist so thick before you that a few feet from you not an object was visible, and so wet that it was like a drip ping rain. Timidity and despon dency say in such a case, you bod better turn back, at any rate lie by at the first shelter. But perhaps you will find a dear sky with a lit tle more travel upward. Courage and hope say, Go on ! Faith says, Go on! higher up yon will fiud light So you go on and at length, unex pectedly, at one single step, yon emerge into dear sunshine. Then all your troubles are forgotten. How glad you are that yon perserved that you did not turn back: you would have lost this glorious sight, its magnificent prospect, tliis pecu liarity of glory, which you could, have enjoyed only under these very circumstances of preceeding mist and gloom. ‘Yon would have lost the sight of the clouds under you, and the atmosphere resting upon them as on a sea of chalcedony, smooth soft undalating, aud the summits of the mountains all around glittering with ice and snow. And you would have lost the glory of the breaking up and trooping away of these cold cougrations, as the de parture of an army with banners, and the revelation of the nnveiled world as a new creation.’ To Young Men. Young men should read the fol lowing words from the pen of Pro fessor Porter, aud from them gather new courage for the battle of life: Young men, yon are the architects of your own fortunes. Rely upon your own strength of body and soul Take for your star self-reliance. In scribe on your banner, 'Luck is a fool, pluck is n hero.’ Don’t take too much advice—keep at your helm and steer your own ship, and re member that the great art of com manding is to take a fair share of the work. Think well of yourself. Strike out. Assure your own posi tion. Put potatoes in a cart, over a rough road, and the small ones go to the bottom. Rise above the en vious aud jealous.. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy t invincible determination, with a right motive, are levers that move the world. Don’t drink—don’t chew —don’t smoke—don’t swear—don’t deceive—don’t read novels—don’t mam' until 3011 can support a wife. Be earnest—be civil. Read the pa pers. Advertise your business. Make money, and do good with it. Love God and your fellow-men. Love truth and virtue. Love your country ami obey its laws. The Counlry. Signs of a Prosperous Farmer. When yon see his bam huger than his house, it shows that he will have huger profits and small afflic tions. When you see him driving his work, instead of his work driving him, it shows that he will never be driven from his good resolutions, and that he will certainly work his way to prosperity. Wheu you always see iu his wood house a sufficiency for three months or more.it shows that lie will he more than a ninety-days’ wonder in far ming operations, and that he is uot sleeping in his house alter a drunk en frolic. When he has a house separate from the main building, purposely for ashes, and an iron or tin vessel to transport them, it shows that lie uever built his house to be a funeral pile for his family, and perhaps himself. When his sled is housed iu sum mer, and his farming implements covered both in winter and summer, it plainly shows he will have a good house over his head in the summer of ear).* life, and in the winttw of old age. Wheu his cattle ait* properly shel tered aud fed in winter, it is evi dence that he is acting according to Scripture, which says a “merci ful man is merciful to his beast.” Wheu he is seen subscribing for a newspaper, and paying in advance, it shows that he is speaking like a book respecting the latest improve ments iu agriculture, and that he uever will get his walking papers to the laud of poverty. A* widow in Iowii. whose husband was burned to death while iu a state of intoxication, has obtained judg ment for $G,000 against the man who sold him the liquor. Keep busy—the man who has nothing to do is the most miserable of beings. If you have no regular work, do chores as farmers do wh£n it rains too hard lor them to work in the field. In occupation we for get our troubles, and get a respite from sorrow. The man whose mind and hands arc busy finds no time to weep and wail. If work is slack, spend the time in reading. No man ever knew too much. The hardest students in the world are old men who know the most. If you lack books, there ore free or very cheap libraries, nt least iu cities at your command. The man who docs not acquire some item of use ful information between day break and bed-time must mournfully say, with tho Roman Emperor, ‘I have lost a dav/ A Jersey City lawyer was making a high-fiown speech the other day, telling about angels' tears, weeping willows and tombstones, when his Honor said: ‘‘Confine yoiuself to the dog fight,” A young mau from the country who had recently come into possession of a few thousand dollars,visitetl an un cle in the city, an old merchant to get his advice about investing Lis capital in busiuesH. “Go back to the country, young man,” said the merchant, “and invest your money in land. Bay a farm, settle down ou it, and do a safe business. I have been in a business here nearly forty years and have accumulated a fortune, but it has been done by fear ful risk, heavy, responsibility, con stant toil and worrying anxieties.— A dozen times I have been on tbe verge of bankruptcy, and twice I have bceu sorely tempted to take my own life. Of ten men who com menced business here wheu I did only one besides myself succeeded. The rest all failed,one after another ; some dragging their families down to povertv and disgrace. Take my advice. Keep away from the city and its delusive business avenues.— Quiet contentment on a moderate competency in the country is the best fortune I could wish vou.” A Washington letter writer says “Miss Waite, daughter of the Chief Justice, has the rare faculty of being able to talk to several people at once.” Rare faculty! Oh, ignora mus; did yon ever hear a woman on moving day tell the drayman how to carry the liereau down stairs, scream instructions to the woman taking up the carpet, yell at the boy packing the china, tell the hired girl wlmt to do with the tinware ami stove furniture, shriek her hus band inton cold sweat for emptying half a bushel of soot out of the stove pipe on the ]mrlor floor, sniff at the woman across the street who was’nt going to move and was looking on, and scold seven children for nine different things, with one and the same wag of her flexible tongue? Rare faculty, indeed!—Hairlry. How lo Succeed. If your seat is hard to sit upou, stand np. If a rock rises np before you, roll it away or climb over it. you want money, earn it. It takes longer to skin an elephant than mouse, but the skin is worth something. If you want confidence prove yourself worthy of it. Do not be content with doing, what anoth er has done-surpass it Deserve success, and it will come. The »>oy was not born a man. The sun does not rise like a rocket, or go down like a bullet fired from a gun; slow ly and surely it makes its round, and never tires. It is as easy to be a leader as a wheel borne. If the job be long, the jmy will lx* the greater; if the task be hard, the more com petent you must b^, to do it. A good practical education, in- dadinsr a good tr ide, is a better outfit for a youth than a grand es tate with the drawback of an empty mind. Many parents have slaved and pinched to leave their children rich, when half the sum thus lavish ed would have profited them far more had it been devoted to the cultivation of their minds, the en largement of their capacity to think, observe aad work. The one struc ture that no neighborhood czl J j without is the school-house. They have a curious way of decid ing law suits in Siam. Both par ties are put under cold water, and the one staying the longest wins the suit In this country lx>th parties are got into hot water and then kept there as long as possible. The result in the end is the same. Time borders npon eternity. It requires l>nt an instant to make the passage from one to the other. Billings says, “I spell it ‘kangh- pby,’ and Webster spells it ‘coffee.’ I kan’t tell which is right Web, or me.” Men are frequently like tea—the real strength and goodness are not properly drawn ouk until they have been in hot water. Girls, don’t be afraid to work. Ruth gleaned in tbe harvest field and got just as good a Bo ar as any girl in tho neighborhood. At a printer’s festival, recently the following toast was cffercU: ‘‘Wotnau, second only to the press in the dis semination of news.*’ A western game at cards—One player holds the cards; another holds a revolver. A coroner holds the inquest. A bashful young clergyman re cently rising to preach for tho first tunc, aunouuced his text thus wise: And immediately the cock wept ,tuid Peter went ont and crow bitterly.'* A somew hat simple woman w as asked whether her husband /caret! God, and replied, “I guess he does, for he never goes out on Sundays without taking his gun with him.” The reason why a Detroit woman got off a street ear without ringing tho bell was because she saw her husband walking with a good look ing widow, and she hadn't time for ceremonies. The bravest chap of whom histo ry ever did or ever will give an ac count, is a sixteen-year-old lx>v in Jones county, North Carolina, who has just married a red-headed w id- ow with five children. A mau “Down East” returned his newspaper to the priutiugotlico with ‘Jacknss” written on the margin, and in the next issue the editor sta ted the fact, and wound up the par agraph by asking: “Will our indig nant subscrilxr please to let us know nt wlmt stable lit* can be found ?” Mr. Logan once told a story of the intrepid hunter who secured a “tail holt” on au immense hear, and short ly afterward was heard bellowing for help. “What do you want help for ?” inquired :i comrade. “I want some one to help me h-t go this I tour,” replied the stranger. A Kansas farmer purchased a rcvol- •er for his wife, and insisted on tar get practice, so that she could de fend her house 111 cas* of bis ah- -Iftcr the bullet had h en dug out of his leg and the cow bu ried, he said he guessed that ahe’d better shoot with au axe.
