For the man was on his muscle, And the dorg was on his bite, So to kick that dog-goued animllo "Was sure to raise a light. A woman she owned a Thomas cat. That flt nt fifteen pound, And the other cats got up and slid When that there cat was 'round. The man and his dog came along one day "Where the woman slio did dwell. And the purp he growled ferociously. Then went for the cat like h 11. . He tried for to chaw the neck of the cat, But the cat he wouldn't be chawed. So he lit on the back of thatthere dorg, And bit, apd chawed, and clawed. Oh ! thchalr it flow, and the purp he yowled. As the claws went Into his hide. And chunks of flesh were peeled from his back, 'Then he flummlxed and kicked and died. The man he ripped, and cussed, and, swiore Ashe gathered a big brick-bat ' -That ho would be durncd essentially If ho didn't kill that cat. But the woman allowed she'd be blest 11 he did, And snatched up an old shdt gun, ",Vr,c sne flrctl. and peppered his diaphragm With bird shot number one. They toted him home on n window blind. And the doctors cured him up. But he was never known to light again, Or to own another purp. Folks may turn up their snoots at this rhyme, I don't care a cuss for that ; All Iwanted to show Is that fighting dorgs May tackle the wrong Tom cat. COMMUNICATE!). Watch. As the surging ocean of humanity goes rushing on in its restless cureer, some lives nre seen majestically mov ing on the hignest wave, gazing heavenward, getting glimpses of the regions beyond. This is beautiful. Others again are seen drifting near the shore amid the silent arid turbid water, where many a wrecked life has gone down under the waves while seeking sensual pleasures. All spir itual vision closed, wandering in the darkness and night of materialism. This is a sad sight. Some beholding this, lose faith in everything, and ex claim in despair: "Where are the ministering augels the christians talk about; where is the Christ who died to save men j where is God who so loved the world ; why don't they help these perishing ones?" So in their ignorance, like the fool, they say in their heart "there is no God." These seem to forget, or never have learned, that each soul which has started out on.its eternal march, has anidentityof its own to create, a des tiny to form for itself. It has ele ments within itself, and external ob jects around it on which to act. Al though it-may have helps and influ fluences which may havetmuch to do with shaping and moulding its desti ny, yet it has energies, and will pow er, wniuii decides nt lose. God nor angels will never interfere with the inherent powers of an in-' telligent being, so as to cause it to be saved or lost without its own action. Let every one listen and they wilf hear, "work out your salvation," thundred from the heaven, and see it flashed from the skies, and sweet an them comes swelling from the super nal sphere in melodious cadences. for it is God which workelh in you." Many are unsuccessful in the strength of life; their energies fail them in the strife with contending circumstances, and they sink, wreck ed in the dark waters. To be successful in the battle of life, one must "watch" continually lest he fall into temptation ; "watch" lest he be overcome of his enemies; "watch" lest the "talent" given him be not used to blight and blast, and curse the moral beauty of the world. Well would it be if every one could hear the admonition, "watch," thun dered from the mighty 'deep, and see it blazened on the.s'kies. How many sacred lives (for all lives are sacred) have been wrecked and lost in their vain efforts to contend with the deamon, in the rum ; and they have gonejlown the road of per dition, and sunk in fiery ruin into the drunkard's gfave, with spirits all un prepared for the glory and purity, and peace of Heaven. Amid all the beauty and grandeur of the moral and physical . world around us, how many lives we see dai ly lost and ruined. A short time ago, while in one of the stores in Brownville, a miserable wreck of a man came in, walked around, gazed vacantly. It was plain that some cause had wrought in him idiotcy or insanity while yet young. His mind was in ruins. Two or three times he came in and walked around in this strange way, until the orderly, sensitive merchant, annoyed with his repulsive presence, said sharply to him : "What is your business here, or if you have no business, keep away ; I want noliangers on." Thus it was ; he bad become a nuisance to those who loved sobriety, decency, and re finement. I afterwards learned some thing of this poor wretched man's history and the cause of his ruin. It was rum. The idea conveyed in the word rum, starts up crime in ten thousand hideous form3. This young man was a son of wealthy parents ; of fine talents; good education ; a lawyer of promise ; but he went where rum was sold, drank and was ruined. It- is sometimes said that in this temperance question "moral suasion" should be used with the rum sellers, and not make it a "legal question." Any man who can look upon this fallen young man and the ten thous ands like him, and yet sell rum, can not be reached by the eloquence of pen or tongue. They are sunk too low. Appeals from the heart and log ic from the brain will not avail with them. They are as demented as the drunkard. Then some may say: "Why be severe with the rum-seller if heia demented?" No one wants 2, 1870. to use any unnecessary severity ; only wise and prudent measures to stop the ruin they are causing. It would be a blessing to thefn as well as the drunk ard, to have their traffic in 'abomina tions stopped. The time may yet come when it will be seen that crime is either imbe cility or insanity, and should be treat ed as such, and not be allowed; to grow and gather strength when it can be stopped by wise means. The con sequences following an action are the same, whether it is called crime or in sanity. The great reason why the philoso phy of immoral actionshould be un derstood, is to know what remidies to apply to cure the difficulties. It is certainly right that those who are "clothed irr their right mind" should be protected from the violence of im moral action in ptherSj let that im morality be called crime or insanity. And it is plain as sunshine, that some remedy ought to be sought out to pre vent the pure and nnocent, nnd good from fulling into the rnin caused by rum-selling. Let the rum-seller and the rum-drinker nay ! let every one listen to and heed the-voice of Jesus, as ho spake to his deciples and said : "What I say unto you I say unto all watch." Jennette Harding. London, Neb. Don't Stay Too Late. Ono of the few advantages of being "past fhirty" is that one now and then can put in a word of good, moth erly advice to the other sex. So I'll begin at once, and say to any single gentleman reader of DTearth and Home who chooses to listen Don't stay too late. At the store or office? No. You know very well I don't mean that. I'm not fighting imaginary jJangers, but real ones. I mean simply, don't stay too late when you go to spend a quiet evening with a young lady. It's not fair ; it's short-sighted ; and it's pretty sure to wear out your welcome. Even if the poor thing is eventually to allow you to stay until death doth you part, that's no reason why you should bestow too much of your tedl ousness upon herat the outset. When she really wishes your visits to be longer, you'll know it; and even then be chary of the moments after eleven. At any rate, don't suffer yourself to be misled by the usual commonplace forms of detention that, in nine cases out of ten, arise from c sudden con-; ciousness on the lady's part that she may have been betraying her weari ness rather too plainly. It won't hurt you to be longed for after you are gone ; but beware of ever causing a girl to give a sigh of relief when the hall-door closes after you. There's a sandman for the iparlor as-well as for the nursery, andafter a certain hour, except in special cases, whenever he finds the eyes too well drilled to suc ,cumb to his attacks, he sprinkles his sand around tne Heart. After that, your best efforts to please are wasted Every word will grate, every winning attempt of yours be met only with the silicate of emotion nt best. I know all about it. I've received young gentlemen callers in "my day; yes, and enjoyed receiving them, if ever a girl did. I'd think all day tbnt per haps John, for instance, might come in the i veiling, and on those occasions I've gone down to tea with a rose-bud in my hair and a happy flutter in ray heart. Yes, and I've started at the ring of the door-bell, and When at last he came in, smiling and bowing, I've looked just as if I didn't care a single bit. There were others, too not John by any means, but friends who were always welcome, and whom it was right good and pleasant to see. But the factdidn't make null and void all somnific law ; it didn't make fath er'and mother willing that tho house should be open till midnight ; it don't make it desirable that I should feel a rebuke in every body's "Good-morn ing !" when, with throbbing head and weary eyes, x breakfast. No, came down Jate to you may be sure it didn't. Therefore, I learned soon to honor those" who knew enough to go when half-past ten came ; -while those who didn't -know were the bane of my ex istance. How they would linger and skirmish, and stand up and sit down, and move about and look at the clock, and in a thousand torturing ways say "Good-by" without going forgetting that I couldn't turn them out of the room, yet judging by that token that their presence was nectar and balm for all weariness! Now, never think that these friends staid front kindness to their weary hostess not at all. They staid be cause they didn't know enough to go.

Ah ! what a gift that is in man or woman, to know when to go, and, knowing it : to stand not upon the order of going,- but to go" at once ! I know a few such persons They radiate peace and restfulness.or they sparkle and scintillate, or they arDuse and inspire you, as the case may be. An hour glides away, then another, and in the midst of another you are conscious only of a gentle "Gpod-by" flash, and they are gone. Then a hundred .things rush upon you you wish you -had asked them this, or told them that, you think how pleasant it was to meet them, and you long to see them again. So, dear single gentlemen, whoever and wherever you are, the next time you go out to spend a quiet evening with a lady, remember my words. Young girls are human ; they require rest and sleep ; they are amenable to the benefits of domestic system and order ; they have a precious heritage of strength, health, and good looks to guard. Above all, if they are true, sensible girls, they secretly respect a mau who does not yield to the temp tation to linger pasta reasonable hour. In a word, though they may be glad to see you, an evening visit is not a species of eternity. Don't go tod late, and don't go by inches. "Good-by" is the flower of a welcome. If you wish it to retain its aroma, the fewer leaves it sheds, the better. The largest bull that has been lately imported into this country, wa3 ex hibited by the Kev.

"I Can'ti" Tommy was a New England boy, the eldest son of a widow living in humble eircupistauces near Boston. Naturally bright nnd active, he was much beloved and indulged at home by his mother and sisters. In fact, thoy had got into tho habit of doing nearly everything for him. until he thought he could not bring a pail of water irom tne cistern to.ttio nouse.or black his boots, himself, One eve ning an uncle, who was usually ap pealed to by Tommy's mother when ever she needed some advice in the conduct of her affairs, came to the hous, and in the course of conversa tion said : "By tho way, sister, it is time that boy of yours was doing something for. himself. He must bo fifteen years old now, and that is about the right ago for a lad to get a good clerkship.7" "Yes, I know it, William," faltered the lady, "but I'm afraid he's hardly strong enough to take and keep an errand-boy' place. You know his con stitution has nlways been delicate besides, we can't think of parting with him yet." "Tut, tut, the boy's as strong and hearty as nine-tenths of those of his age now in stores earning good wages. He's been home too much, and needs some of the outer world's discipline to develop and make a man of him ; and in my opinion, if something is not done soon, he'll be spoiled, and amount to nothing." "Well, brother," said the widow, with a half sob, "you know best about these things, but do try to get poor Tommy a good, easy place I wouldn't have him knocked about for tho world." The prudent uncle found a place for his nephew in the office of a friend, Mr. Shaw, of Boston, aud the anx ious mother, nftcr fitting Tommy out in the best style her narrow circum stances afforded, accompanied him to the city and called on the gentleman. After introducingherself and Tommy, she snid : "I hope, sir, that the work that my son will have to do here may not prove too much for his strength.'" "Do not trouble yourself on that ac count, dear madam," said Mr. Shaw, who at once appreciated the condition of things; "my requirements will not be severe, and besides, I will promise you that whatever he cau't do, I'll do for him.'" After some further talk the widow departed, well satisfied with her son's employer. At the-clo3e of the day, when it was time to leave the office, Mr. Shaw said to Tommy, "I want you to be here bright and early to morrow morning, to open the office, make a fire, and sweep out, and have everything shilling by the time I show myself." "Yes, sir," answered Tommy. When Mr. Shaw showed himself the next morning, nothing had been done. There was no fire, and the lit ter of yesterday still cumbered the floor, while Tommy stood in the midst, looking helpless and tearful. "How is this Tommy?" he said ; "why have you not done as I reques ted?" "Oh, I can't, sir ; I can't." "Well, don't cry about it," said Mr. Shaw. "I told your mother, you knovr, that what you couldn't do. I'd- do for you." And Mr. Shaw went to work, and in a jifly had a bright fire crackling in "the grate, and things cleaned up so that the office looked cheerful and attractive. Tommy con cluded that he had found a splendid situation. ' At night, when they were leaving, Mr. Shaw said, "Now my boy, let me sec what you can do to-morrow morn ing toward cleaning up and fixing things." The next day, however, tho same programme was repeated, the clerk doing nothing more than looking on, while the master put the office in or der for business. Then at night Mr. Shaw said: "Tommy, you must have learned by this time how to make the fire, dust and sweep out. To-morrow morningl intend to take a horseback ride after breakfast, and will not be down as early as usual. Can you not promise to have everything in order when I come?" "I guess so," answered Tommy. But the next morning Mr. Shaw made his appearance, riding-whip in hand, on a scene scarcely different from that of the two previous niorniners. "Here Tommy, take this," said Mr. Shaw in a pleasant tone, extendinc: the whip to him, "and give yourself a good trouncing." "Oh, I can't, sir; I can't," whined Tommy, "Well, don't cry, my boy. I told your mother, as you remember, that what you couldn't do, I'd do for you." So Mr. Shaw.did for Tommy what Tommy couldn't do for himself, and doubtless did itwell, for Tommy never said "I cant" to him again, and found himself quite equal to the task of making a good fie and sweeping the office in the morning before Mr. Shaw entered it. Phrenological Journal. An Indian Story. A correspondent of the Detroit Free Press writes as follows : "About three miles from the village of Greenville, in the county of Mont calm, State of Michigan, is a small lake now commonly known. as Va bassa's Lake. It is a handsome sheet of water, with a fine shore free from swamps of brush, aflbrdiiig a pleasaut resort to the lovers of piscatorial sport3. There is a romantic, yet truth ful history connected with it which sounds more like an Indian tradition of centuries ago than actual occur rence of fifty years since. While on an excursion a few days ago, I gath ered the following story, and it3 truth fulness has since been vouched for by other settlers. A tribe of Indians were then encamped on the shore of the lake nqnr its outlet, a stream of the same name, and had just been paid by the government quite a large amount of gold and silver, which they took to their camp, as was their custom, undivided, held in their charge by their Chief, "Wabassa." On arriving at their camp and spread ing their gaily-covered blankets out admirably, together with their trink ets purchased at the station, some of the tribe, warmed more or less with "lire water," demanded their portion of the gold. Disputes arose as to the relative share of each. Some claimed more than a share, claiming to have contributed more to the pro tection or general good, glory or dig nity of the tribe. High words were about to be followed by bloodshed, when their chief demanded silence, and proposed to them to wait till the morrow should cool their excited brain, and they could listen to reason and words of counsel from the older men. A truce wa3 finally effected, and quiet once more reigned through out the camp, when the Chief, regard ing the gold as a cause of evil instead of a blessing, stole quietly out, carry ing the gold, with him, and entering a FUBNAS; C0LHA22 k 0a rak'Hakera aad Prrleti.

Extravagant parents must expert to have extravagant children, and-when masters and mistresses do not esono ruize, they can scarcely expect the servants to do so. There is a vast difference between economy and stinginess. The former is laudable the latter despicable. Prudent persons who study their ex penses closely are likely to set aside three-twentieths of their yearly in come for contingencies; slx-twen-tieths for household expenses ; three twentieths for servants and amuse ments; four-twentieths for education of children, personal expenses,, etc,? and four-twentieths for rent, wear and tear of furniture, insurance, etc For example, supposer your Income to be $2,000 a year, you expend $600 for food, $300 on servants, etc., $400 on family and personal expenses, $400for lent, while there remains $300 for an accumulating fund. If your income is fluctuating, be sure and set aside six-twentieths of it for a reserve fund, nnd divide the rest of the Income n above. There is a great deal in man agement. Some housekeepers will make $2,000 go farther than others will $4,000. The habit of spending money needlessly, in the gratification of a host of Imaginary wants, is one into which our young men and wo men are too apt to fall. The folly of this they enn see and acknowledge, nnd yet the have not the resolution to pursue a different course. We call upon all our readers who aio not blessed with abundant means to pon der upon these things to abstain from present expenditures, and lay up a stated amount of their Incomo ev ery year. There is many a man who keeps himself poor by indulging In tho fol lowing trifling expenses: Two glasses of ale a day, at ten cents seventy-three dollars per year Three cigars a day, at ten cents each one hundred and nine dollars and fifty cents. Making nearly $200 worse than thrown away, since malt liquor and the nicotine stupify the brain. That $200 would pay the premium upon a life insurance for the benefit of wife and children, or it would save, perhaps, an overburdened mother from needless toil in her old age. It is pitiful to. think of the tens and huudreds of thousands of dollars which are yearly consumed in smoke and in liquors which debase nnd brult ify man, "who was made a littlelower than the angels."

A man recently entered tho place and ordered a very elabor ate dinner. He lingered lolig at the table, and finally wound up with a bottle of wine. Then lighting a cigar he had ordered, he leisurely sauntered up to the counter and said to the pro prietor: "Very fine dinner,-landlord just charge it to me, I haven't got a cent." "But I don't know you," said the proprietor indignantly "Of course you don't. If you had, you wouldn't let me have had the din ner." "Pay me for the dinner, I say." "And I say I can't." "I'll seo about that," said theproprietor, who snatch ed a revolver out of a drawer, leaped over the counter and collared the man, exclaiming as he pointed it at his head, "Now. see if you'll tret away with that dinner without paying for it, you scoundrel." "What i3 that you hold in your hand ?" said the im pecunious customer, drawing back. "That, sir, is a revolver, sir.' "Oh I that's a revolver, Is it?
