Fale Lights.
Mock characters, like false lights,
are worse than darkucs-. There are
any number of skin-deep saints in
the world lit all times ; and sheep's
clothing and long robes are always
in great demand in the market. In
deed we all use cosmetics of the
moral kind to remove freckles or
wrinkles. To meet the respectable,
smooth-shaved, decorous, venerable
ornaments of society we sometimes
see, you would not 6U8pect that any
slanders could find birth against
men so soft spoken, so frank and so
confidential.
But they do. Haven black and
dead eyes, and drawn down corners
of the mouth, aud an exceptional lie,
don't always stand for godliness.
Cucullas nonacit monachxnn The
owl does not make the friar. That
highly respectable board of direc
tors, so hale, loud spoken, well fed,
seem, every man of them, fit for
prizes at an exhibition of commer
cial moralities; still they arc in
trouble about loans, contracts, or
prospectuses. That manufacturer
sings loud in his pew on Sundays,
but makes thirty-five inches to the
yard on Mondays : and that prosper
ous shopkeeper has strangely dark
windows ; and does that one believe
his own pull's ? The millennium has
not come yet, and can hardly be
hoped fer, by appearances, at any
very short date. Somehow, the bot
tles do not show the same straw
berries all the way down, in all
cases; and jockeys sometimes forget
to tell a horse's faults; and there
have been books written on adulter
ations aud tricks iu trade; aud men's
words or writings are not always
the unclouded expression of their
thoughts. .And yet to meet men,
how nearly perfect they seem; in
their suavity, iunocence and senti
ments. There are a good many Si
berian crabs, and apples of Sodom,
and huge pears that look like houoy
aud eat like wood. We have our
panics, aud thousand liquidations,
and a hundred millions of railway
6tock unproductive, bankruptcy
court revelations. The crop of
knayes and half knaves is by no
means extinct. There is a dark side
to a good many things besides the
moon ; and has not the sun its spots,
not to speak of eclipses that happen
pretty widely throughout the uni
verse? Be you, young man, a contrast to
all this. Character that is only a
mask is beneath you, and mere con
ventional goodness is a lie of the
devil. Determine, from the first, to
be transparent and truthful to God
and your fellows, let Mepbistoclese
say what he likes. It is better, after
all, to liave the universe on your
side than against you. Curses, like
chickeuB, come home to roost; and
so do falsities, if not outwardly, yet
in your soul. I pray you don't offer
a prophet's chamber in your con
science to eatan. Life is sacred;
keep it so. We are boru for a pur
pose, and can serve it only as we
serve God. Humanity is a whole,
not a mere moo of generations, and
has a destiny in which every one
has a set part. The little moment
of our being is great enough to live
well in, and leave true work behind
it. Play the mau, not the trickster.
Evelyn saw men at Leghorn staking
their liberty for life in mad gamb
ling, and, having lost it, presently
led off into slavery. He who has to
do with a lie stakes his soul and
loses in auy case. Character, pure
aud noble, chimes in with tho eter
nal harmonies; but falsehood is a
hideous clangor, now and forever.
What any life, however humble, can
do is a secret with God; it may
widen its influence through ages,
or it may leave a trace seen only by
the light of God's truth and laws, it
is holy forever. The city of God
elowly rises through tho ages, and
every true life is a living stone in
some of its palaces. You were
made for. God, young man, from
eternity, and no lie is born of Him,
be it in trade or profession, iu act or
in word. Iusincerilies arc marks
on the devil's tally, and so are hyp
ocrites and shams. Let your char
acter be real, the shining warp aud
woof of each day workiug out the
part God has set you iu tho great
loom of time. C. Qeikie, D. D.
lomehlrkaeMv.
Perhaps there is no sensation so
die-heartening or so demoralizing to
the mental and physical system as
homesickness. It is not necessary
that one should be in a foreign laud
in order to experience the sensation.
In fact, one may feel at home iu the
Arabian desert, oc among the ruins
of Baalbec. It is the uncongeuiality
of the surronndiugs which predis
poses us to the malady rather than
removal from familiar scenes and
faces. The disease has no respect
for persons ; it more often seizes the
idle than the busy. The king on the
throne suffers, perhaps, from its
qualms when he remembers the hal
cyon days before the cares of state
beleagured him ; the poor-house ten
ant may feel a sickening yearning
for the homo she has never known,
which has never existed for her; the
little child droops away from his
mother; the withered crone has mo
ments of unutterable pain when she
recalls the hearth-stone where the
embers have been ashes for half a
century; the old are homesick for
their youth, the days of their
strength and their prime, when the
'world was all before them where to
choose when success was not so as-
sured, or failure not so certain the
days when children hung about their
kneet?, and daily anxieties euviroued
them; homesick, perhaps, for the
very worries which they have out
grown, for the little trial9 which
belonged to the hours of their ac
tivity, for the hopes that time; has
dispelled, for the caresses of dear
dead hands, 'the Bound of a voice
that is still.' To-day seems alien
and sunless to the homesick heart
which lives in the yesterdays. But
if age is sometimes smitten, neither
is youth exempt. The young sicken
for what the future miy bring for
the fame that is so long iu coming;
for the recognition, the happiness,
the romance, its promises. That
louging,bafiled feeling which haunts
us when some good that has been
promised or paid is squandered or
withheld is a form of the disease
familiar to most of us, which comes
to us upon some strain of music
which the incense of the 'meanest
flower that blows' may revive. Who
has not been touched by it in re-visiting
scenes that were ouce a part
of our every-day look-outthe old
homestead that has pacsed to stran
gers, the orchard where we learned
the sweetness of stolen fruit, the
church where we repeated our lit
tle prayers, the school-house where
wo made acquaiutauce with fractions
and the ferule, or the garden gate
where we parted with our fiist lov
er? It may be that the masculine
mind is less susceptible than the
feminine to this sentiment of home
sickness. Man is oftener master of
the situation. If his conditions dis
please him, he has the power to re
arrange them to give the kaleid
oscope of life another turn; if the
'madding crowd' offends Him, he can
pack his valise, and go ou a ranch,
where 'the pound of the church-going
bell the valleys and rocks never
heard;' and if country life grows
distasteful, be may seek his fortune
abroad and medicine homesickness
with the infinite variety of tho uni
verse. Harper's Bazar.
Study of I-higlioli literature.
Tho thing we want to save for our
children is the habit of intense, pa
tient reading of tho world's few good
books, or of the best that fall in the
way of any particular child. Such
books are still rare, aud- tho boy
who has climbed a few of them need
not tire his legs tramping through
the vast realm? of foot-hills over
looked from their summits. There
is but one way now in which this
can be accomplished. If a child, at
a proper age, can be thoroughly in
troduced to one real author, led
through his books and brought into
vital communion with the "hiding
place of his power," he will not be
tempted to fill himself with husks;
but will go on making the acquaint
ance of other books and authors of
the same sort. It seems to us that a
good ileal of the instruction in Eng
lish literature fails at this point. A
pupil is uot committing to memory
a compendious history of English
literature, even a weekly exorcise in
repeating poetical "gems." On the
contrary, this sort of instruction lays
the foundation of that hop-skip-and-jump
style of going through authors
which leaves the mind of the reader
flippaut, shallow and dry; trifling
with the surface of culture, untouch
ed by the influence of the noblest
minds. It may be well to give a
high-school or academical class a
chart of English authorship, with a
few light-houses and buoys indicat
ing the great channels of thought
that fertilize the different periods of
English and Americau history. But
this is properly the work of the histo
ry class; and uothing is really done
for the student in literature till some
author of commending power is
taken in hand and read thoroughly
by teacher and class, till tho dullest
soul in it comes to kuow, in some
measure, the power of a great book.
If but oue thing can be done, let it
be this. Better givo your wholo
school one session a week with your
most accomplished teacher, in the
thorough reading of one great au
thor suitable for the class, than fill
their minds with a senseless cata
logue of authors and titles relieved
by a few extracts; like a dull suit of
linsy-wolsey illuminated by the
ureary glimmer or an occasional
brass button sewed upon the homely
suit of melancholy gray.
General Garfield said to a delega
tion from Iudiaua that wanted a
cabinet position for that State : I
am under obligations to my district
for sending me to the State Senate ;
I am under obligations to the peo
ple of my Congressional district for
sending mo to Congress so often ; I
am under obligations to the Stale of
Ohio for electing me to represent
them in the Senate of the United
States ; and I am under obligations
to the four million Republican voters
of the United States for electing me
to the Presidency. I have more ob
ligations than I can pay. Gentle
men, I am a bankrupt, with more
obligations than assets.
Boston Post: Americans are of a
practical nature. When an Illinois
farmer who had got rich waa visit
ing Switzerland, they dilated to him
of the beauty of the surrounding
scenery. "Yes," he replied, "as
scenery it's very good. But it
strikes me the Lord has wasted a
lot of space on scenery that might
have been level and good farming
land." Thoy wanted to lynch him!

Ruiuubcc ol'au Advertisement.
The Springfield (Mass.) corres
pondent of the Boston Jlerald
writes: A sewiug-girl in this city
has had a romantic experience which
is worth telliug. Several months
ago a man at Dubuque, Iowa, ad
vertised in an Eastern Massachusetts
paper for a wife. Among a swarm
of answers which he received were
two from two girls in this city, who
replied just for the fun of the thing.
One of them represented herself as a
young widow, and her lively ac
count af herself and her circumstan
ces was ve-y largely fictitious, espe
cially that which told (very inci
dentally, as if it was of no conse
quence) of the snug sum of money
left her by the dear departed. She
never expected to hear of the matter
again, but that was tho oue letter
out of all the advertiser received
which struck his fancy. Ho wrote
to the supposed "widow" (who, in
fact, had never been married, and
who was then earning her living
with her needle); photographs were
exchanged; the letters grew more
aud more affectionate, and the y ouug
woman, realizing that the affair was
no longer a joke, wrote to her new
found admirer and told him frankly
of her humble circumstauccs.
Of course he admired her all the
more, aud at last he came from Du
buque to this city to claim her for
his bride. Instead of tho sleek and
intelligent-looking and manly indi
vidual whom she had expected from
his letter aud his photograph, what
was her vexation to see a person of
decidedly seedy appcarance,wearing
an old slouch hat and appearing al
together unattractive. Well, she
refused him, and he, chiding her
bitterly for so doing after all tho
pains he had taken to win her, re
turned alono to Iowa. I suppose he
hadn't left tho house before she was
sorry bucIi is the flexible character
of female affection and it is cer
tainly true that she was very sorry,
indeed, before he had put a thou
sand miles botween them. He wroto
no more, but tho distressed yonng
woman wrote, or got friends to
write, to tho pastor of the church he
attended and to various persons in
Dubuque to find out what sort of a
man this was something sho ought
to have thought of in tho first place.
The replies were uniformly compli
mentary, and every one only in
creased her regret that she, a poor
sewing-girl, had refused a "good
match."
Never a word came from him, and
at last she swallowed her pride, re
opened the correspondence herself,
and told him how she had misjudg
ed him and how sorry she was that
she had. Promptly came a manly
reply, from which she discovered
that when he visited her here he
had intentionally made himself as
unattractive as possible from a ro
mantic notion that Bhe ought to take
him for what he was, and not for
what he wore. Of course they were
married, and the poor sewing-girl
has for her husband one of the lead
ing citizens of Dubuque, and for her
home one of the finest mansions in
Dubuque. This true story ought to
have a moral of the negative sort
namely, that young girls are not to
infer from it that it is safe for them
to answer matrimonial advertise
ments, for, where one case of this
sort has, like this, a happy issue, there
are ten which lead to unhappiness
or something a good deal worse.
Loudon Fogs.
Fifty years ago, when we first be
came acquaiuted with them, Lon
don fogs were bad enough ; but they
were on a comparatively limited
scale. They have since attained
marvelously grand dimensious and
intensity, according to the increase
of houses and population. What we
ordinarily call London, but is more
directly styled the metropolis, has
spread and spread till it covers a
space of about 120 square miles. In
the winter months every house has
a coal fire, some of them two, throe
or four, and there are numerous
manufactories and public works
with furnaces and tall chimneys, all
of which less or more emit quanti
ties of smoke. This smoke mingles
with what fog there happens to be,
and produces a curious mixture,
that is now only beginning to be
rightly understood. Like every oth
er mist, the fog w.hich rises and is
wafted along the valley of the
Thames is composed of small par
ticles of water that ought properly
to be dissipated by the buii's heat.
Only one difficulty, is the sun able
to uuderlake the duty. The smoke
poured out from hundreds of thou
sands of chimneys, does not merely
mix with the-fog; it coats oach wat
ery particle with a tarry, oily film,
giving it an unnatural character, and
preserving it, so to speak, from im
mediate dispersion. A genuine Lon
don fog, therefore, is something
more than a fog. It is a prodigious
Jarge volume of mist, held in a kind
of turalldom by oleaginous, we, for
convenience, take the readiest word
to express a condition that would
involve some chemical explanations
which need not be gone into. Every
one will understand that the smoke
from the coal fires somewhat unites
inextricably with the particles of
mist, and keeps the whole thing
hovering in a dense cloud over the
metropolis. Not only so; the din
gy cloud darkens and pollutes the
air, fiills the streets, and to a certain
extent the houses and lungs of the
inhabitants. On such occasions the
darkness, even at noon, is so great
that dwellings aud places of bus
iness have to be lit with gas as at
night. As tho London gas is more
remarkable for its volume thau its
purity, it aids in deteriorating the
atmosphere duriug fogs, already
sufficiently tainted with the exhala
tions of domestic sewage. At times
it is as difficult to get a breath of
fresh air as it is to procure a good
drink of palatable water.
ItralH Farming.
Some people imagine that farming
requires but little outlay of bruin
power to make it successful. But
as some one has truthfully said
"Brains make tho best fertilizer a
man can use." Take two men, one
of them with half the physical
strength of the other, tho weakor of
the two will accomplish more than
the other if ho exceeds the latter iu
brain power. We have known largo,
stout, healthy men, who were hard
workers, and yet always on a "stern
chase" with their work; they were
al way's ii hot water, always poor,
fiom th a simple fact that their bod
ies were better than their brains.
Such a man, if he is doing as simple
workas picking up stones ou a hill
side, will get his stoneboat on the
upper side of a large boulder, and
then by stress of mind aud muscle
roll it ou tho drag, while the weak
er, but wiser man, would place the
boat on the lower side of the stone,
unhitch his team, place the chain
above it, and In a twinkling hayo it
loaded, and save his own strength
for some more important occasiou.
Aud so it goes to the end of the
chapter with the man who does not
"think;'' and this law applies to
indoor as well as outdoor work. If
men and women would take time to
plau their work they would secure
better results than to hurry and
scurry about without thought or
system. We honestly believe that
if every farmer would have a Ntudy
and library, liko a "professional"'
man, with a few good agricultural
papers, and spend an hour or two
each day in reading and planniug
his work, he would secure better
results thau to spent twico that
amount of active labor on the farm.
This is the time and tho hour for
labor-saving inventions in every di
rection, aud no farmer can entirely
ignore this increased knowledge,
and compete with those who have
their eyes and oars open. Eastern
Chronicle.
- Too IVeat.
Men can seldom be accused of
being over neat; but the over-neat
woman is to be found everywhere.
She makes her husband exchange
his boots for his slippers on the
door-step. No matter how low the
thermometer or barometer, the poor
fellow must don" his boots on the
porch. Is he wot? He must stay
on the stoop until ho is done drip
ping. Consumption? What is that,
compared to a soiled carpet? The
small boy, what a life he leads with
such a mother! Followed about
with a dust-pan aud brush, and a
scolding voicethe hyper-neat wo
man is always cross all of child
hood's days, ho early ruus to a club
room or a beer saloou where he can
see a littlo rubbish and find the lux
ury of dirt. The over-neat woman
dislikes to entertain company.
'Guests are so dirty, you know."
The parlor is kept dark aud unused
from year to year. Tho carpets
would fade and dust would gather.
We once knew a woman who re
fused to open her parlor door for
weddiug of her daughter. "The
streets are too dusty," she said. It
is uothing to her that she makes
other people uncomfortable. She
will have her way, whatever tho
consequences; and sometimes they
are bitter enough. Wo have seen
tho lives of good men embittered;
we havo seen boye driven to ruin,
aud girls imbued with such hatred
of cleanliness that they became very
slatterns by over-neat wives and
mothers.
The Irish ftewrf-lloy.
Charles O'Connor, a distingiiiauoil
New York lawyer, when eight years
old was an office-boy ami newspa
per carrier, and would often spend
all Saturday night serving his route;
It is said that ho never missed a
subscriber. When seventeen years
old be became an errand boy in a
lawyer's office. He borrowed law
books, took them home and read by
the light, of a candle far into the
night. Whon twenty-four he was
admitted to the bar. His industry
and perseverance have won him re
nown. A boy will succeed who
makes circumstances bond to him,
rather than bend himself to circum
stances. The editor of a Red Bank (N. J.)
paper replies to an attack upon him
in another Red Bank paper by say
ing that "when an Idiot, pen, ink
and paper get together, the result
should uot be published."
To grow wealth: Earn money
fairly, spend less than you oarn, and
hold on the difference. The first
takes mnscle, tho second self-control,
and the third brains.
You should forgive many things
in others, bnt nothing in yourself.
