lt Isn't All in Bringing Up. It isn't all in " bringing up," L?t folks say what what they will ; To silver scour a pewter cup It will be pewter still. ?'on he of old, wise Solomon, Who said " Train up a obild," If I mistake not had a son .Proved rattle brained and wild. A m.m of mark, who fain would pa?s For love of sta and land, May have a traiu'.ng of a son, And bring him up full grand ; May give bim all'tho wealth of lore, Of college and of school, Yet after al! may make him more Than just a decent .fooL Another raised Ly penury, Upon ber bitter bread, Whose road to kuowledge is like that Thc good to Heaven must tread H's got u spark of Nature's li^ht, He'll fau it lo a tlamc, Till iu its burning letters bright, The world iu?y read his name. ^ If it were ali in u bringing up ;" In counsel and restraint, Some rascals had been honest men I'd been myself a saint. Oh, it isn't nil in " bringing up," ? Let folks say what they will, Neglect may dim a silver cup It will bo silver still. A HUSBAND'S PRAISE. " Her busb.nd, he pratseth her."-SOLOUON. Husbands often do not know with what Cpa%e!es? s??Hc?titd? the duties ol' a wife and mother ure: accompanied. Th?.y leaye b<mie early, many of them ; the routine of hilliness-thu same as it was yester dav, and ? ill he !<>r months to chittys-is so thoroughly digested that the pei form - ance is comparatively without annoyance. They have no heavy or wearying house hold wok todo, no fret ti fg little ones hanging on lo their garments, now to nurse, now to correct, now lo instruct ; while still the dusting, and the cleansing, aud the preparing of food must be going on, and the little garments must be nice ly fitted and made, or all would be unti diness and confusion. Yet how many an a.lroit manager contrives to get through with all this, willingly-if shew but ap preciated, and her valuable services es teemed-to endure, calmly, the (rials in cident to her lot, keeping care from her pleasant face by a merry spirit and cheer ful demeanor. But if she never hears the kind words, u. 1 thank you," or beholds the beautiful smile that unuttered gratitude spreads upon the countenance of him for whom she has forsaken all, what immeasurable anguish'will she not experience! We have often thought how poignant must bc the grief, how heavy the disap pointment of the young wife, when i-he ?irst learns that the husband of her choice is indifferent to .her studied efforts to please. Gaily as thc bird upon the tree by her doorside she has gone cai oiling about her domestic duties. Like a skiliful painter shu has touched and retouchedall the pe culiar though simple luxuries of* her home, till they seem to her like the adorn ing:; of a paradise The hearth is bright and red-not a speck of dust is visible. She has brought out all her hoarded wealth ; and the ta bles, the new-varnished bureau, and the easy arm-chair, shine in snowy garniture. She has placed the pictures in the best light, made all things look cheerful and bright, placed a bouquet of brilliant flow ers upon the neat supper-table, and an other above the fireplace, and with pleas ant anticipations she awaits his return. " How cheerful everything looks ! And how pleased he will bc ! He will com mend my care and taste." Presently the well known step draws near ; she flies with a happy smile to meet him, and together they enter their mutual home. What ! No tign of surprise 1 No. new delight on his features ? Does he receive all her attention, as a matter of course something looked for, expected, easily done, and without price ? Can he not pay her the tribute of a glad smile ? Alas he doe3 not believe in praise ; his wife must be disinterested ; must look upon these performances as stern duties; if he praise now, and forget to praise again, they may be discontinued. She is disappointed, chagrined; and unless taste and perfect neatness are in dispensable to her own comfort, she grad ually wearies in well-doing when a little encouragement, a little praise, might have stimulated her to constant exertion. Many a wife becomes careless of her appearance because of her husband's in difference, in the simple matter of dress -not so simple, either !-how often men think it- beneath them to notice or ap prove the choice their wives may make ! We once remarked to a gentleman that his wife displayed admirable taste in her attire ; and what, think you, was his an swer ? With a sigh we record it : " Has she? Well, now, I should hardly know what she had on." Now we do like to sec a husband no tice such things, even to particularity. We like to hear him give his opinion as to whether such and such a thing is be coming to his wife. We are pleased, to see a father interested in the little pur r.uases of his children, instead saying with a frown, " On ! go away ; I. don't care for such things ; suit yourselves." And in household corners the husband should express his approbation of neat ness and order ; he should be grateful for any little effort that may have been put forth to add to his comfort and pleasure ; he should commend the good graces of his wife, and at fitting times make men tion of them. Indeed, not one alone, but both should reciprocate the good offices of the other. We never esteemed a wo man the less on hearing her say. " 1 have a good husband ;" we never thought a man wanting in dignity who spoke of his wifd as being dear te him, or quoted her amiability or industry as worthy of imi tation by others. Who does not esteem the unaffected praise of a husband or a wife, above that of all beside. No mo tive but love induces either lo " Speak tue gentle word*. That sink into the hoarty Solomon says, " Her husband, he prais eth her ;" and only the morose and reserv ed, who care not to fill the fount of kind liness by pleasant word?, differ from the sacred writer. flow many a home h?ve we seen glit tering with splendor; where glowing marble, from Italia's cline, giyes a silent welcome to the entering guest ; where on the walls hang votive offerings of art that fill the whole soul with their beauty; where the carpets yield to the lightest pressure, and the rich hangings crimson the palest cheek-yet amidst all this show \ ?nd adorning has thc proud wife s&t} thc ( ^e choicest piece of furniture there-for so her husband regards her. Formal and stern, ha has thrown around her the dra pery of his chill heart, and it has folded about her like marble. She is li my la dy," and nothing more. No outburst ol affection in. the form of sweet praise falls upon her e ?rs ; pendants of diamonds drop therefrom, biit their shining is like his love, costly and cold. We have heard such a one say, in times gone by, " Al! this show and pride of station, would I resign, for one word of praise from my husband." The Railway Switch Tender and his Child. Oh! the value, the inestimable value to youth, of a prompt obedience to pa rental commands! An anecdote strik ingly illustrative of this, as well as set ting forth Christian heroism of an exalted character, has recently occurred in Prus sia. On one of the railroands in that country, a switch tender was just taking his place, in order to turn a coming train then *m sight, on a different track, to.pre vent a collision with a train approaching in a contrary direction. Just at this mo ment, on turning his head, he discerned his little son playing on the track of the advancing envine. What could he do? Thought was quick at such a moment of peril ! Ile might spring to his child and rescue him, but he could not do this and turn the switch at the same time, and for want of that, hundreds of lives might be lost. Although in sore trouble, he could not neglect his greater duty, but, exclaim ing with a loud voice to his son, " Liu down." he laid hold of the switch, and saw the train;safely turned on its proper track. His boy, accustomed to obedience, .lid as his father commanded him, and the tearfully heavy train thundered over him. Little, did thc passengers dream, as they found themselves quietly r?sting on that turnout, what terrible anguish their ap proach had that day' caused to one noble heart. The father rushed forward to where his boy lay, fearful lest he should lind only a mangled corpse, but, to his great joy and thankful gratitude, he found him alive and unharmed. Prompt obe dience had saved him. Had he paused to argue, lo reason whether it were best -death and fearful mutilation of body would have resulted. "The circumstances connected with this event were made known to the King of Prussia, who the next day sent for thc man and presented him with a meda) of honor for his he roism. Dear reader, couldst thou have done as this switch tender did \ Consider. Thy darling-the delight of thine eyes, the joy of thy heart, about to be crushed and mangled by that coming train, and thou couldst save him by neglecting thc switch ! The momentary contest in the bosom of this noble man must have been intensely Agonizing. We. can all rejoice with him when he found his obedient child uninjured by the mighty hurricane of power that had whirled over hts head -but let us pause and consider, could we haye done as he did ? And then an other question may claim the serious thoughtfulness of parents. Have we brought up our children in such habits of prompt, unhesitating obedience, as char acterized this little boy ? Taking- a Dislike. An ill-natured fellow quarreled with his sweetheart on the day they were to be married. After the ceremony bad begun, he was asked : " Do you take this woman to be your wedded wife," etc. He replied, "No!" " What is the reason?" asked thc min ister. ^ "I've taken a dislike to her, and that's enough," was the surly reply. The parties retired-thc bride in tears -and, after much persuasion, the groom was induced to have the marriage pro ceed. It was now thc lady's turn, and when the minister asked the all-important question " No !" said she, resolutely, " I've ta sen a dislike to him." The groom, admiring her spunk, made ;hc matter up with her as soon as possi jle, anda third time they presented them ielves before the minister, who began the ceremony by asking the usual questions, vhich were satisfactorily answered this .ime. But to the astonishment of the jarty the minister continued : " Well, I'm glad to hear that you arc villing to take each other for husband md wife, for it is a good thing to be of brgiving tempers. You can go now and :et married where you will-I will not ie the knot, for I have taken a dislike to loth of you." -? ->. %, A HOGGISH DUTCHMAN*.-A German avcrn keeper in Cincinnati, who enter ains porkmen, and caters to the taste both f his countrymen and patrons, had a oast pig for dinner on Sunday. The nimal (a small one) was served up whole, nd as it was placed on tho table sent )rth an appetising and savory smell that crvaded the dining room, and made very occupant wish for a slice, but to be astonishment of every guest, a burley irsuted Teutonic pork dealer from the ountry sat down opposite the dish and icontinently appropriated thc entire roast, 'he landlord happened to be absent, and ood breeding prevented any of the guests .om entering a protest, so flans made such havoc of the dish, and wiped his mouth, rith such evident relish, that one of the waiters with a keener sense of the fun pproached him, and inquired if he would ave anything else. Han's beaming face Tightened in a moment and he asked in eply, "Got any more ov dem lcetle oes ?" A New Englander, riding in a railroad ar, seemed particularly disposed to as jnish the other passengers with tough tories about Yankeedom. At last lie mentioned that one of his neighbors owned n immense dairy, and made a million ounds of butter and a million pounds of heese yearly. The story produced some ansation, and the Yankee perceiving that is veracity was in danger of being quos oned, appealed to a friend as follows : True, isn't it, Mr ' P-? I speak f Deacon Brown-you know Deacon Irown?" "Y-e-s," replied the friend,.'" that is, es, I know Deacon Brown, though i on't know as I ever heard precisely how iany pounds of butter and" cheese he lade a year, but I know he has twelve iw-mi!ls that all go by buttermilk." ----? - ?GOOD FOR MRS. P.-" Will you have Daily Sun?" said a news-boy to .Mrs. arlington. " Will I have a dail v son ? Why, vou ttle scapegrace! How dare you insinu e against a lone woman from home ? o, indeed-I guess 1 won't have a daily n. My poor dear man used to coin aio awful when I presented him with yearly son ! A daily son, indeed ! Be ne, you little upstart imp," and ihe old ly called for the old turkey fhn to keep | r from fainting. j m Pt un bl toi no po u i Ti S Caulioa io thc Young. Beware of thc card-playing circle ! Be ware of tho gambling-table ! Beware of the billiard-saloon ! Beware of the thea tre! Yes young friend, beware of such resorts. You can lind suffit ?en t recre a tion elsewhere. There are amusements enough, without recourse to any of these. Be on your guard against the seductive influence ofall of them. Direct your footsteps into wiser and safer* paths. " Avoid them, pass not by them ; turn from them and pass away." ' ; None of these are . necessary to your respectability or happiness, to your health of body or purity of mind, to the educa tion of the intellect or the salvation of the soul, to your prosperity through time or welfare in eternity. They are positively dangerous to your peace of conscience, future, if not present ; dangerous to hab its of industry ; and dangerous to your morals. They all p?ril the dearest inter ests of your immortal nature. lu the hour of sober conviction, on the bed of death, and at the judgment of the great day, you will be ready to acknowledge it,"if not before. There is no need of thus risking your good name in the estima tion of the best part of the community ; and, what is worse than all, risking the possession of an unsullied character and virtuous principles in your own and God's estimation. Remember, that while "the way of transgressors is. hard," and while sin at the last u biteth like a serpent, and* Lting eth like an adder," it is also true, for our encouragement, that "religion never was designed to make our pleasures less," and that '' wisdom's ways are ways of pleas antness, and nil her paths are peace" Am. Messenger. A Benevolent Minister, Not Tong since, a small boy, in very dilapidated clothing, called at the resi dence of Kev. Mr. R.-J and asked for something to eat. The servant who came to the door asked the minister what she should give him, when he pointed to a pile of bread that was very stale, saying, '.Give him some of that." The servant did so, und, as the boy was going away, chewing on the ernst of bread, tho min ister called out, " Bridget, send that little boy here." The little fellow went imo the dining-room, where the minister and Iiis family were about sitting down to dinner, and 'was staring at thc eatables on ?he table, when the dominie said, "My ittle mun; did you ever go to Sunda) school ?" " No sir." V Did you ever learn to pray ?" again isked the minister. '" No sir," replied the boy. "Come here, and I will teach you." The boy went up io the minister, when ;c commenced '. You must say just as I do. 'Our Father' " "Your father," said the boy. .; No, no; you must say, 'Our Father.'" " Y.-ur fuher," again said the boy. "Will you never learn!" said the niai *t?r. u Yon must say, 'Our Father.'" ** Is it our father? Your father-my athcr]" " Why certainly/' The. boy looked at him awhile, and hen commenced crying, at the same time ?olding up his crust of bread, and ex Laiming, between his sobs: " You say that your father i* my father, ,et you aren't ashamed to give your lit ,le brother such stuff as this to eat, when /ou have got so many good things for ..ourself?" The minister looked astonished, and dthougb it hurt his feelings, he asked the ittle fellow to sit down and take dinner vi th him. HAIR-BRUSHES Axn COMES-Children hould be taught, from their earliest re nenibrance, the importance of keeping he hair clean, not so much by the use of he comb as 'the brash. Two sorts of :ombs are used, fine and coarse, made ither of ivory or bone; when thc brush las bien well used, there is seldom any lecessity for the fine tooth comb, and the mention of using the coarse comb is nerely to disentangle the hair and pre mire it for the brush. Nothing is more njurious to the skin of the head than the roquent application of the small tooth om b, the points of the teeth of which cratch and otherwise irritate the scalp, ?liding more that any other cause to the )rmation of scurf. It cannot be too trictly impressed upon the minds of pa ints, if they would see their offspring lessed with a good head of hair, to re .ain as much as possible from the use of ie small comb ; a moderately hard brush quite sufficient to keep the head and air clean, and should be used the first ling in the morning, on account of the ?ir being more suple at that time than ly other. -? ? ?.. TOBACCO-SMOKIKO.-The Inverness Cott er says, thai in one of the ancient choo sy pieces in Cawdor Castle there is a ide carving in stone of a fox smoking a tbacco pipe, with the date 1510. As it generally believed thar, tobacco was rst introduced into this country hy Sir falter Raleigh, about 1585, it is singu r t<> find the common short tobacco-pipe ms represented on a stone bearing date i much earlier. The Courier says, "there m bc no mistake as to the date, or the iture of the representation. The fox jlds the 'fragrant tube' in his mouth, :actly as it is held by its human admi :rs ; and the instrument is such us may ? seen overy day with those who pat inize the ' cutty pipe.' " -? ? Thc Inquirer, at Gonzales, Texas, says i old freedman told his old master that s sable highness was getting too feeble ' work, and wanted tp be elected county dge.
