d INSENSIBILITY TO THE WOAS t ' OF BRUTES. A (ovrwt btlaut. of Cwwardly Wif« and Child Beater*. * We preach and believe that the world io growing better; but when we read of wife heaters and child-beaters there ia a suspicion that philanthropy baa yet plenty of raw material. We call men brutal who kick their wives and whip their little children into in sensibility. We malign the brutes. Who ever heard of a tiger—the most ferocious of the animal kingdom—kill ing its young. All the recorded data of animal life will not furnish the record of abuse of tbeir kind, of their own. as will the daily press for one month dealing with the affairs of men. Brutes war against brutes of a differ ent type, and when they kill it it for food. There is one notable exception in the brute kingaotn— that anomaly which answers in the animal kingdom to thq rwlfe-beater and child-beater among men. It is the hog. The wal lowing. obstinate, stupid hog. The animal cursed of the Hebrew law. The creature into which the devils entered when cast out of men. This animal, this ancient horror and still groveling type of the brute creation, is a creat ure that sometimes destroys its young. The man who kicks a woman that the law gives him to protect, the man who beats the child God gave him to love, is infinitely lower than this meanest of animals, infinitely less worthy the respect of men. But we should be just. The hog has been a domestic animal, it would seem, in all ages. Who shall determine whether or not the hog has not fallen through his association with man? Until further data is collected let us hold the hog guiltless and attribute his downfall to aril communications. Wife-beating and child-besting is not as uncommon a crime as one might think. Women and chil dren suffer for years in silence. It is generally outside complaint that brings these fiends into print, and to some small measure of juotlce. It is too late to put up the whipping post, and vigilantes we do not tolerate; but a law that permits a being to strike a sick women and to whip his child into insensibility, and merely fines him (25, or possibly gives him thirty or sixty days in the work house, is a law that wants attention. When some petty pilferer, or swindler or minor rascal receives his moderate fine and moderate sentence of imprisonment, justice is satisfied. The public no longer feels resentful. It is so kind- hearted it pities him. But when men read of easy sentences dealt out to creatures who have kicked women and cut open the flesh of their chil dren there is an involuntary tingling of blood and tightening of muscles. Thefe is iu> innate conviction that the law should set apart some special pun ishment or special humiliation to meet this abnormal blot ou the face of creation. A man may kill, forge, stqshf lie and cheat, and yet have claim on human sympathy. The cow ard who beats his wife and child cuts himself off from even that, and exists thereaftecjHiJkLjen among n^ep.—Min neapolis T^bf^ —■ ■< • » ■ VALUABLE SUGGESTION. A Statute. Itopodlont tur fltartlng a Balk, Horse. I have had to do with many balky horseer-wnd I hwve'-wever known the following simple expedient to fail, provided it was not a case where some other person had been tampering with the will of the horse before I had tak en him in hand. It is another niethed of "diverting a horse’s attention”: Whenever a horse driven by myself has balked I have got out of my car riage and gone to his fore foot, lifted it from the ground and •truck the shoe a few sharp blows with a stone or with a wrench (which I always carry in my carriage). I have never failed to start a horse in that simple way, and I have on several occasions had balky horses which ex hausted the patience of all former owners. I have undertaken to start balky horses, being handled by others, after other methods of starting them had failed. I request the driver generally to rpoye'out of the way, that his voice or presence may not be recognized by the horse. I then first inform the animal, by patting him and talking to him that there is a new man at t helm, thereby diverting his attention. As soon as he begins to give me bis attention I take up his foot and tap it a few times, and never failed, except In one instance, to start the horse. And that exceptional case was where the horse was overloaded and knew it The very worst method of attempt ing to start a balky horse, according to my experience and observation, is that of pulling the head of the animal by the bit, and it is a method almost universally adapted by the inexper ienced users of the horse. The stub bornness of the horse is only Increased by that method. I offer this suggest ion in the interest of your cause.— Joseph A. Titus, in Our Dumb Ani mals. —Galvanized iron ropes are not to be commend.d for clothesline«, as they wear the clothes, especially lawns and muslins. —Soda should never be used for flan nels; and if they are to be kept in good condition, they should be neither mangled nor ironed. —Some of the good women of Hart ford.

As a means to that end ths lady bought the baby a magnificent doll, and asked of all visiting friends to inquire of the little lass: "Who gave you that doll?” Alas! for expectation, the tiny to* was too sharp for her elders, and said, with the most innocent air possible; "My papa's girl gave it to me." —The gravest complaints about in civility often come against those who assume to be exemplars of society and good manners, and they sre only too often just. So common is it for a lady to refuse the acknowledgemeat of the courtesy extended when a gentleman gives his seat to a lady in a street car that many gentlemen have abandoned that particular act of civility, except in cases where they know the lady, and they certainly have great provocation. PAII4. A PoVrr That Piara an Important Part ta the Alleviation of suffering. Every one knows that the beet nurses are the calmest nurses, and the calm est nurses are very seldom indeed the nurses who really suffer most at the sight of their patients’ suffering. One of the great advantages which the patients themselves feel in entering a hospital is that their sufferings do not come back reflected from the faces of those around them; that the sympathy they excite is only a mild sympathy, and not one which heightens tbeir own pain. And it is equally true of insensibility to very different kinds of suffering—moral and spiritual suffer ing—that a certain measure of insen sibility, as well as sensibility, to it is the first condition of the power to do good. 'Die toacher or priest who wants to lead a penitent to a truer and higher view of his life must not be insensible to the keenness of his anguish and the bitterness of his shame; but. at the same time, he must not enter into it so deeply as to be un nerved by it, and to be haunted by it in all his daily duties. If he is. he will be quite incompetent for his spiritual work, and will be an inefficient not an efficient, guide in spiritual things. No discerning man, however deep bis own shame and remorse, would go for guidance to one who was likely to suffer almost as much as himself, out of sympathy with him—as some very near relative perhaps might Such a guide would be a bad guide, and a bad guide just because his sensibility would be too vivid, and his judgment would be thereby perverted. It is the same even with sufferings that are not moral, and where the sufferers do not require guidance. It is quite a mistake for those who live with such sufferers to reproach themselves, as they often do, with their own insensibility. We may be absolutely certain that those who wish to feel more than they do, really feel quite as much as they ought, quite as much as the purpose of God intends that they should. There is an unworthy pride in great sensibility which is not consistent with either true humility or true usefulness. Hardly a sufferer exists who is not the better in stead of the worse for seeing that those around him are not utterly over whelmed by his Buffering—that so far as he can go out of himself at all be may get a little relief by entering into the less overshadowed lives around him, and tasting indirectly another’s enjoyments. We ought to be grateful not only for being able to enter into the sufferings of others, but for not be ing allowed to enter into them too keenly. The self-reproach which one so often hears uttered, that the sufferings of others do not reflect themselves vividly enough in the hearts of the bystanders, is an ungrateful self-reproach for a limitation for which we have great reason to be tharjkfuL Not only would a suffering that reflected itself ade quately in other hearts be fatal to the work of the world, but it would be fatal, too, to the best and almost the only alleviation of which that suffering itself admits. A really patient and humble-minded man will be quite as thankful for his insensibility as for his sensibility, and will recognize that it is to the former, at least, as much as to the latter that his power to alleviate suffering is due.— London Spectator. W. r >T, nq famous poems . Somethin* of Interest to Remember When You Kes<l the Versos. Gray’s immortal "Elegy” occupied him for seven years. .Bryant wrote "Thanatopsis” in the shade of a grasd old forest—a fitting spot for such a theme. Cowper wrote one of the drollest and quaintest English ballads, "John Gilpin’s Ride,” when he was under one of those torrible fits of depression so common to him. The noted poem, "The Falls of Ni agara,” was written by J. G. C. Brain ard, the editor of a small paper in Connecticut, in fifteen miuutes. He wrote it under pressure in response to a call for "more copy.” "After the Ball,” the little poem which has made the name of Nora Perry known in the world of letters, was jotted down on the back of an old letter, with no idea of the popularity it was to achieve in the pages of “ noted magazine. Thomas Moore, while writing "Lal- IsRookh,” spent so many months in reading up Greek And Persian works that he b icame an accomplished Ori ental scholar, and people found it dif ficult to believe that its scenes were not penned on the spot, instead of in a retired dwelling in Derbyshire. Poe first thought of “The Bells” when walking the streets of Baltimore on a winter’s night He rang the bell of a lawyer's house (a stranger to him), walked into the gentleman's li brary, shut himself up and the next morning presented the lawyer with a copy of his celebrated poem. The "Old Oaken Bucket” was first suggested to the author, Samuel Wood worth, in a bar-room. A friend with whom he was drinking said that when they were boys the old oaken bucket that hung in his father's well was good enough for them to drink from. Wood worth immediately went home and w rote the famous poem. "Old Grimes,” that familiar "little felicity in verse,” which caught the popular fancy as far back as 1823, was a sudden inspiration of the late Judge Albert G. Green, of Providence, R. I., who found the first verse in a collec tion of old English ballads, and, en joying its humor, built up the remain der of the poem in the same conceiL— Library.

An Object of Terror to All Save Its Dead« ; ■•nr Phase« of Editorial Life In the Wild and Woolly West. iy Enemy, the Wasp. Apropos to a brief reference to the insect reported to be the deadly enemy of the huge spider called the tarantula. Dr. Horn, Philadelphia's distinguished entomologist, sends us the fol owing: "In the not too fertile parts of the region Lorn Texas to California live« a large spider known to the inhabitanta as the tarantula and to naturalists as mygale hentzili. Its body is two inches or more in length, clothed with rusty- brown hair, the legs long, and when extended covering an oval of four or five inches. As may be imagined, the mygale is not a handsome insect, and, while it is looked upon with terror by most people, no one care« to handle it unless quite certain it is dead. "In place of the web which usually forms the house of spiders the mygale excavates a burrow in the loose soil, from which it wanders in search of its prey, consisting principally of mem bers of the grasshopper family or cicades. The jaws are large and pow erful, armed with long, stout fangs, with which they can pierce and kill their prey. One full meal will at times supply their needs for several weeks. In fact, during the moulting period they remain torpid and take no food. "During its growth the mygale make« an unknown number of moults, that is, it sheds its outer coat when that has become uncomfortably close-fitting, iu the same manner as the common crab of our coast At these times members lost from the body by accidents are p irtially replaced; if a leg is lost the first moult produces a perfectly formed but short leg, subsequent moults in creasing the size of the leg. "While the mygale is a dread to most forms of Insect life, there is one of which it in turn stands in mortal ter ror. Abundant in the same regions is a large wasp, with bluish-green body and golden-red wings. The body is about two inches long, the spread of wings nearly an inch greater. These wasps (pepsin formosa) fly uneasily about in search of food for themselves until they discover a ‘tarantula,’when a more definite course of action is as sumed. The flight of the wasp is now in circles around its prey, gradually approaching it, the mygale, meanwhile in terror, showing fight, standing semi erect on the two hinder pair of legs. A favorable opportunity presenting, the wasp stings the spider and renews the circle flight, repeating the sting until the spider becomes completely para lyzed. When the wasp is assured of the helplessness of the spider it seizes him and drags him to a previously prepared nest Tlie eggs of the wasp are then deposited and the spider covered up. The eggs soon hatch, the spider is gradual y eaten, and anew wasp ap pears to repeat the actions of its parent "By the sting of the wasp the spider is not killed, simply paralyzed, so that during the time it is being fed upon it retains vitality, furnishing living food to the newly-hatched larvae, which, by a curious instinct, feed first on those parts of the spider not essential to the maintaining of the little vitality re maining. “Our common mud-wasp, chlaybion, has similar habits. Its nests, made of elastic mud, ¿re familiar to most peo ple, as they are found abundantly in sheltered places about barns and other outhouses. These, when opened, will be found filled with spiders, in the help- tees condition already mentioned, among them a larvae and some partly- eaten spiders.’— l‘hiladelphia Ltdger. Age of Laying Hens. It is wrong to thin out the old hens and depend on young pullets every year, as there is a temptation to breed from the pullets before they are fully matured, thereby weakening the stock if persisted in. When a hen is laying well she can be depended upon for an other season's service. There is no necessity for disposing of her only to fill her place with a younger bird. It is a mistake to suppose that a hen is in ferior after she is two or three years of age. She will lay until seven or eight years old, and it will be time to sell her only when she shows signs of failing. There is a loss of time raising the pullets to fill the places of the hens. It requires about ten months before the pullets of the large breeds will come in, from the time they are hatched, but the hen only loses three months, which is at the period of moulting, and if a cer tain date is used for a starting point, with a record kept of all the eggs layed, for two years, it will be found that the hen will lay more than the pullet. The hen produces stronger chicks than the pullet, which is a very important point when broilers for market are an object, and her eggs are heavier and more uni form in size. A hen is not old at four years of age.— Farm and Fireside. —A gentleman in Brussels has shown unusual enthusiasm for the game of whist In the course of a game his partner trumped the trick which he had already won by deep c ilculation and sk IL Instead of swearing, as a gentleman would ordinarily have done in such circumstances a few times, he gave his unlucky partner twenty stabs in the ribs with a long knife and left him dead. —A canary belonging to a family of N earing the L imit .—We have been repeatedly asked why we did not open on the G. & S. railroad for its slow time, miserable old cars, rough road, high rates and generally incompetent service.
