One cold day in winter, a lad stood at the outer door of a cottage in Scotland. The snow had been falling very fast, and the poor boy looked very cold and hungry. “Mayn’t I stay, ma’am ‘2” he said to the woman who had opened the door. “I’ll work, cut wood, go for water, and do all your or- rands.” “ You may come in at any rate, until my husband comes home," the woman said. “ There, sit down by the fire : you look per- ishing with the cold ;” and she drew a chair up to the warmest corner ; then suspiciously glancing at the boy from the corners of her eyes, she continued setting the table for sup- per. A look of intelligence passed between his wife and himself. He had looked at the boy, but did not seem very well pleased ; he never- theless made him come to the table, and was glad to see how heartily he ate his supper. Presently came the tramp of heavy boots, and the door was swung open with a quick jerk, and the husband entered, wearied with his day’s woik. Day after day passed, and yet the boiheg- god to be kept “ until to-morrow ;” so the good couple, after due consideration, con- cluded that, as long as he was such a good boy, and worked so willingly, they would keep him. ()Aue day, in the middle of u inter, a peddlex', who often traded at the cottage, czdlud, and, after disposing of some of his goods, was pre- parin to go when he said to the woman : .. ._ \_ ‘ ux .&L1\ 45 m1 “ You have a boy out there splitting wood, I see,” pointing to the yard. “ Yes, do you know him ‘1" “ I’ve seen him," he replied. “ Where? VVlm is he ‘3 “'11th is he ‘5" “ A jail bird," and then the peddlcr swung his pack over his shoulder. “That boy, young as he looks, I saw in court myself, and heard him sentenced ‘ ten months.’ You’d do well to look carefully after him." Oh I there was something so dreadful in the word “jail.” The poor woman trembled as she laid away the things she had bought of the peddlcr ; nor could she be easy till she called the boy in and assured him that she knew the dark art of his history. Ashamed am distressed, the boy hung down his head. His cheeks seemed bursting with the hot blood, and his lip quivered. “ Well," he muttered, his frame shaking, “ there’s no use in my trying to do better ; everybody hates and despises me; nobody cares about me.” “ Tell me," said the woman, “ hnw Came you to g0, 50 young, to that dreadful place ? \Vhere is your mother “.7 “ Oh l" exclaimed the boy with a burst of grief that was terrible to behold-“ oh ! l hadn t 110 mother ever since I was ababy ! If I only had a mother,7y he continued, while tears gushed from his eyes, “ I wouldn‘t have been bnund out, and kicked, and culled and horsewhipped, I wouldn’t have been saucy and get knocked down, and run away, and then stole because 1 was hungry. 011 2 if I’d only had a. mother ?” It often happens, too, that a young man has the money with which to make a pur. chase, but he needs it in his busines ; and as he must depend upon the prosperity of his business for all his success in life, he certain» ly cannot afford to withdraw from it any cap- ital necessary to its healthful and vigorous prosecution, even for the sake of buying a home, which he can do without. There is no commoner mistake than this one of buy- ing a home with money needed in business, and it has ruined many a career and wrecked many a life. As a rule, we should say, first catch your hare. In other words, postpone the purchase of a house until you are able to pay for it, either with cash already in hand, or with se- cured resources which are not dependent on any person’s life. If you must buy a house with savings, make the savings first. It is quite as easy to save with a View to a future purchase of this sort as it is to save the money necessary to meet payments under mortgage ; and in the event of failure, which may come in any case, far less harm will he done when no debt is undertaken. The woman was a mother and though all her children slept under the cold sud in the church-yard, she was a mother still. She put her hand kindly on the head of the boy, and told him to look up, and said from that time he should find in her a mother. 0h ! how sweet was her sleep that nightwhow soft her pillow ! She had plucked some thorns from the path of a little sinning but striving mortal. \Ve happen to know a very marked case of this kind. A man with an income of three or four thousand dollars a year bought a home for twelve thousand dollars, paying two thou- sand in cash, and giving a mortgage for the remainder. He expended a. good deal in fit- ting the place upâ€"â€"ns who would not Yâ€"aand felt no uneasiness as to the debt, which was to be met by easy monthly payments, with interest added. To him the problem was a simple one, as he knew he could meet every payment out of his income without difficulty. Unfortunately, however, he died suddenly, and at a. time when money happened to be “ tight," as the brokers phrase it. His in- come died with him, and his wife could barely make food and clothes for herself and little ones ; and, failing to meet the pay- ments, she lost all that her husband spent on the placema. total of about five thousand dollars. We have all laughed over the old recipe for cooking a hare, which began with the injunction, “ first catch your hare,” and yet there could be nothing more eminently sen- sible. The very first requisite to the proper cooking of a hare is the catching of the ani- mal, and it is very much the same with other undertakings, and especially so with this one of ownin a home. Every family ought to live in a ouSe of its own, if it can afford to do so, but there are many people doing this Who can not afford it. Nay, we have known people to live for years in an attic because they had first lived in a house of their own, instead of renting one from other people. Debt is essensially a bad thing. It worries and wears the man on whose shoulders it sits like a nightmare, and unfits him for his work. It may, in exceptional cases, act as a spur to industry and economy, but it much more frequently has an influence of a pre- cisely o positc character. It is hard to deny one’s se f and one's family needed comforts, for the sake of saving, with a full consciousâ€" ness that, after all, the savings will be swept away in the payment of debts. The chances that the young man who has a home with a heavy mortgage upon it will keep that mort- age there, and ultimately leave his wife and children with the burden to carry or to sink under, as the case may be. Even when this would not otherwise be true, he may die anal leave his Wife with a debt which he would have met easily had he lived, but which she is wholly unable to carry. That poor boy now is a promising man. His foster-father is dead. His foster-mother is aged and sickly, but she knows no want. The “prior outcast ” is her support. 'Nnbiy does he repay the trust reposed in him. In a general way, there are many advan- tages resulting from the ownership of a. home riâ€"advantages which have been so elaborately set forth in print as to need no detailed men. tion here. But with all these in View, and with a full appreciation of them all, we have no hesitation in saying that there are very many people to whom there could be no sorer Elisaster than the purchase of a dwell- ing-place. pleasant, as a matter uf course. tulivo When I was a beggarly boy, And lived in a cellar damp.

Our children will probably read of the Sahara desert as a fable of the past, and learn of a mighty inland sea in North Africa, surrounded by thriving na- tions in lands blessed with the best of eli- mates and the most varied productions. Al- geria is a rich colony of the French Govern- ment, but forty years of French rule and French enterprise has done very little for it. Algeria is poor, while natu 'ally blessed with many advantages. The want of water to the south is the greatest natural disadvantage, both as regards climate and productiveness of the soil. It is proposed to remove this disadvantage by opening a canal near (Babes, on the Mediterranean Sea, thron h which the waters of that inland ocean won (1 be admit- ted to the inland depressions, the filling up of which would form the desired body of water. These depressions must have been seas 0r apart of the ocean ages ago, for they are filled with salty swamps, and are far be- low the sea level. They are often partly covered with bitter water, but are mostly dry on the surfaee. The surface then con- sists of a crust of salt of magnesia, which from a distance looks like a snow-covered plain, into which, however, no one dare ven- ture without an experienced guide. Under these crusts lie hidden the most treacherous of fathomless bogs, which swallow up man and beast in a twinkling. The most danger- ous of these is, perhaps, “ el .lerir ” in Tunis, where many a victim lies buried. Through this bog lies the road from Nissua to Tou- zeur, in a long, narrow path, where men and camels go single file. A step to the right or left is certain destruction, the man or animal disappears as in an abyss. It has happened here that a wholcearavunofonehundred cani- els has been buried here without leavingr a trace behind. The leading camel slipped oil the track, and all the rest followed like so many sheep. a i The digging of a canal of no very great length, at the cost of about $4,000,000, would iill up a worsc than useless area of ahout 160 miles long by at least 20 broad, which of it- self would be of vast advantage, and could easily be enlarged, The land surroundingit, which is now half desert, would immediately become fruitful, and the regular supply of water would moderate and improve the cli- mate. The presence of the proportionately small body of water in the Suez canal has al- rcady materially influenced the climate in the neighborhood, and furnished a more reg-V uler supply of rain. 0f how much greater value an inland sea would he, in producing similar results on a larger scale, it would he (liflicult to calculate. By all means, turn the whole desert into an ocean, and then we can go by water to Timhuctoo. The newly made husband finds it a delicate matter to tender the fee to the clergyman, and the grace of the operation depends upon the self-possession of the groom. In Eng- land the custom which obtains largely is for the groom to hand it to the clergyman to- gether with the ring, thus bringing it into the middle of the service. In connection with this it is said that another thing is customary, which will seem a little strange to most Amer- icans. It is for the clergyman, in case the couple are his personal friends, to pocket the fee when it is handed to him with the ring, but to give it back to the groom in the Yesâ€" ty while the party are signierr the marriage registry. This, however, he only does inease of the party being his personal friends, and may perhaps, be considered in the light of an act of friendship. Among the very High Church people in England the clergy refuse invariably to receive a fee, as marriage is looked on by them purely in the light of a sacrament. Strange as it may seem, it is nothing unusual for a clergyman to he asked the amount of his fee, some people imagining that there is a fixed price. Naturally enough, the first words of a bridegroom after learning that he is to fix the amount himself, betray seine indication of his natural disposition. It is told of a. New England farmer who went to the city to marry a well-to-do lady, and who secured the services of the lady’s pastor to tie the nuptial knot, that, on the comple- tion of the ceremony, which took place at the lady’s residence in the presence of her friends, he said in his usual hearty tones, which could be distinctly heard by every one in the room, “\Vall, dominie, I guess I’ll have to pay you something handsome for this, hey ‘2" The lady blushed painfully, and her pastor, wishing to spare her from mortification as far as possible, replied in a low tone : “ Oh, ii); that to suit yourself, sir.” The delighted groom exclaimed, “ \Vall, neow, that’s what I call raal handsome, ain’t it, ’Mandy. Yeou see money’s kinder skursc up country, domâ€" inie; but darn my buttons ef I don’t send yeou a bushel of potatoes next fall.” He was as good as his word, and the pleased parson the next fall had the pleasure of paying as much freight on the potatoes as they would have cost in the market.

A single colony of bees, in good condition in the spring, may be counted upon to double or treble their numbers in a single season, securing ample stores for win- ter consumption, while supplying a. gratify- ing surplus each autumn for household uses. This accumulation will move most accept- ahle in families, especia ly while the price of butter rules so high as to place it heyond the reach of those not blessed with elon- gated and plethorie purses.

Or, if it is in Home that you happen to be sight-seeing, you will trip down the long steps which lead into the great Forum, and look at the beauti- ful groups of columns and the broken arches, and all at once it will come to you with a shock that you know nothing at all about the Forum ; that up to this time it has on] been a name in your memory. In a genera way, you have gathered that it was the place where the Roman Senators and people met to dis. cuss public matters, but it doesn’t look in the least as you had expected it would ; and besides, you hear of other Forums, many others, in difl'ercnt parts of the city, and in- stead of enjoying intelligently, you stand bewildered and confused, and listen helpless- ly while some one reads a few bald pages of Murray‘s guide-book ; and the guide explains What he doesn’t know, in Italian which you don‘t understand. You long to go straight home, hunt up the proper books, study the subject well, and then come back and see the Forum again. But, alas! the books are in the home book-case in America, and the Roman Circulating Library seems to have nothing in it but novels ; and even if it had, what time could you find to read where there is so much to be seen and done? All that is left is for you to put the matter aside, with a dull, unsatisfied feeling, and resolve to find out about it when you can ; but before that time comes, the full, fresh interest will have worn out.

A duch- ess may dress simply, live economically and entertain plainly. She is always a duchess, and in the best society, and to cross her threshold is to be admitted to it. But a lady who is not a duchess, who has only the vague tradition of good family upon her side, must be a very exceptional person if without mo- ney she maintains any kind of corresponding position. In \Vashington, for instance, a high officer of state, who should live upon his salary, and hope to save something from it against the evil day of his removal, would find it very difficult to maintain in a board- ing-house, and without a carriage and withâ€" out entertainments, the social standing that an ambitious and daring wife might require. Yet by his position she would be necessarily exposed to the splendid rivaly of luxury and profusion of every kind ; and if she sold her influence, it would be that she might shine and conquer by magnificence. Such a Woman -â€"~we read of them in novels, and smile at the bold invention of the authorâ€"â€"would carry her gay audacity to the very moment of disgraceful exposure and ruin. In her house, superbly furnished with fraud and richly decorated with corruption, she would stand supreme and queenly in a costly robe, and embroidered with bribes ; careless, graceful, ready, smiling with free-flowing gossip ; knowing, as she graciously bowed and chatted and greeted the bri rht guests of a moment, that the scene was a I a hideous phantasmagoria of deceit, that the naked sword hung by a hair just over her stately head, and that at any moment the ghastly mane, men/a, would glare upon her wall in the appalled eyes of her blithe company. \Vhat is the moral of this sermon?

The determination of threeseore and ten years the allotted period of human exist- ence is doubtless in a considerable dc ree owing to that period having been adopter by the royal psahnist ; but modern science, while it has postponed somewhat the an 'age ter- mination, has also still more largely pro- longed the hypothetical duration of life. Flonrens, reasoning from the time required for the full physical development of a human being, as compared with that taken by other animals, fixes the natural limit at 100 years, and this is also the period fixed by Dr. Farr as man’s natural death time, although at present he finds, as the result of ten years’ approximately accurate and complete regis~ tration, that this limit is scarcely reached by one English child in a hundred thousand. In ‘ some districts, of which the town of Liver- ‘ pool is an exceptional example, the propor- tion is much below this. In this, however, as i in many other respects, we are far in advance of our ancestors. The early English poets fix the appearance of the signs of approaching senility much earlier than we are now accus- tomed to notice them, and Dr. Farr shows that, while two hundred years ago the mor- tality of London was about 8 per cent, and one hundred years afterwards 5 per cent., it is now only 2.4 per cent. And there is good i reason to believe, says Iron, that it may be still further reduced-7 very much of the ex- , isting mortality depending upon the prevent- ible causes, such as impure air and impure water, negligence on railways, on shipboard, in mines, in street police, and in many other ways. What is also of equal importance is the fact that any decrease in the mortality from these causes will be necessarily accom- panied by the absence of disease, and an in- crease to survivors of that good health With- out which length of days is scarcely a boon. The economical results will be no less impor- tant. Disability from sickness is a source of pecuniary loss not only to the suiferer but to the entire community ; while the longer old age, that one ineurably malady, can be staved off, so much will be gained, for when the season of effective work is over, the individ- ual, in ceasing to contribute to the general wealth, becomes a pensioner upon it. Thus, according to Dr. Farr, the Norfolk agricul- tural laborer, worth $25 at his birth and reaching at the age of twenty-five years his maximum value of $1,230, sinks at eighty to $205.

In May, ’72, becoming nearly worn out with excessive Editorial labors on a paper in New York City, I was attacked with Bronchitis in a severe form, suffering almost a total loss of voice. I returned home here, but had been only two weeks when I was completely prostrated with Hemorrhage from the Lungs, having four severe bleeding spells within two weeks, and first three inside of nine days. In the September following, I improved sufficiently to be able to be about, though in a very feeble state. My Bronchial trouble remained and the Uatarrh was ten- fold worse than before. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless. I seemed to be losing ground daily. I continued in this feeble state, raising blood almost daily until about the first of March, ’73, when I became so bad as to be entirely confined to the house. A friend suggested your remedies. But I was extremely skeptical that they would do me good, as I had lost all heart in remedies, and began to look upon medicine and doc- tors with disgust. However, I obtained one of your circulars, and read it carefully, from which I came to the. conclusion that you understood your business, at least. 1 final- ly obtained a quantity of Dr. Snge’s Catarrh Remedy, your Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets, and commenced their vigorous use according to directions. To my surprise, I soon began to improve. The Discovery and Pellets, in a short time, brought out a severe eruption, which continued for several weeks. I felt much better, my appetite improved, and la gained in strength and flesh. In three Mr. Moody left fol" Florida shortly after the close (If the meeting.

The revival which he has conducted in Great Britain and the three great cities of the United States, is the most remarkable religious movement of the time. The most obvious criticism that has been assed upon the work of the evangelists has iicen that it is wayside sowing.
