JUST TAKE A DROP.
A Arop? One drop of wine or beer?
It isn't much to take.
If it would only stay a drop,
It would no trouble make.
One drop! If that indeed were all
I'd ever wish to drink,
Surely it would no*, could not cause

Hut here's the trouble; one small drop
Quick to another leads;
Then to a third, and on and on
The appetite each feeds.
The first drop cries, '"'I is not enough,"
The second, ,4(?iTe rne more,"
Th* third says; "I must have a glass:
Up thirst is sharp and sore."
Kuch one tastes better; e :.ch oue makes |
Me thirstier than 1 was;
And so a drunkard 1 become.?
That first wee drop the cause.
There's only one thing I can do,

And say, "1'uot a drunkard be,
So 1 1*1 not touch a drop."

HISTORIC MOTHERS.
Upward of u hundred years ago a
passer along the streets of Kdinbnrg
might have noticed, perched at a '
window, a pule, childish face, light. I
ed hv deep-blue eyes, and framed by j
sunny, clustering hair. Had the
passer entered the house he would i
soon have siyn a slender, limping fig- j
ure descend from his peixh (where '
ho had climbed to watch his coin- j
panions as they started on some boy- i
ish expedition), and turn with a I
beaming smile to a fair woman whoso
resj 01)81 vosmile was us bright as his '
own. The child was Walter Scott,
the woman, his mother.
A delicate child, lame from infancy,
Sir Walter spent the larger portion
of his time with his mother,
w ho encouraged his fomh ess for romance,
trained his imagination, educated
his taste, and so converted the
accident which threatened such dcnronsiny
results into a blessincr, not
I " O "
only personal and temporal, but |
which shall be as enduring as English
letters, and as general as the
rays of the sun. She gave impetus
to the sunny current of humor and
humanity which gladdened his life;
and she inculcated in the child the
energy and perseverance which
prompted the old man to take up his
pen to write out a debt of half a
million.
Sir Walter said of her: "She had
a mind of natural brilliancy, wellstored
with acquired imformation.
She had un excellent memory, and
could draw, without the least affectation,
the most striking pictures of
past ages. If 1 have been able to do
^ any thing toward painting the past,
it is owing to the studies she gave
me, and the influence she exerted
over me."
Sir Walter records many instances
of his mother's tenderness, and gives
many evidences of his devot on and
gratitude to her. After his death
his executors found in his desk, arranged
in careful order, a number of
little objects so placed that his eye
^ might rest on them as soon as he
raised the lid. Prominent among
them were the old-fashioned bottles
that had garnished his mother's toi
let tame, wneii ne, a sickly cmia,
slept in ber dressing-room, and the
silver taper stand which the young
advocate had bqught for her with
hjs first fivp gifinea feeWhon
the hoart is filled with those
vivid plcturos of border and fomlal
life; when tho imagination rovels in
the splendid portrait-gallery where
IiOuis XI., Elizabeth, and Richard
Cconr dc Lion stand forth in historic
fidelity, and Jeanie Deans, Col.
Mahrteriug, and Dominie Sampson
invest fiction with the force of reality,filet
tho reader remembee her
whose guiding hand led-to those fair
and fertile provinces, and who, in
^ "the words of Richter, "furnished the
JQNWAY
clew to his genius."
The man who was destined to add j
afresh and a higher charm to the j
lovely shire where Bruce was born
and Burns was buried, Thomas Curlvle,
thus writes of his mother: "I
am proud of my mother, though she
is neither beautiful nor learned. If;
I ever forget to love and reverence I
her I must cease to be a creature i
worth rememherinf. Rh? m?vt?r
shrunk from me in my desolation*
never tired of my despondencies, or
shut np, by a look or tone, the ex- i
pression of any real or imaginary;
grief. She stands out in my memory
as beautiful in all that makes thcex- j
cellenccof women/'
Mrs. Oliphant has given a charming
description of Kcclcfechan,
"where the low, gray hills close in
around the little hamlet." Hutu far
more charming description of the
old village?the h'ntepfuhl of "Suitor
licsurtus"?has been left by the
inimitable artist, who spent there
the happy days of his childhood,
when, in his own language, "Time
was no fast hurrying stream, but a
sportful, sunlit ocean."
There, in the .humble cottage, the
peasant mother, wise as she was patient,
molded the character of the
vindicator of Cromwell, and the
most brilliant hixtorian of the French
Revolution. It is said that his fatli
er wanted Thomas to "gang and
work," Thomas wanted to keep to
his "bulks"; the mother sided witli ^
the boy, and her influence prevailed. j
There can be no doubt that Carlyle j
owed much that was best, in his na
ture and his writings to his mother. |
She possessed strong common sense,
clear judgment, stern adherence to
Until, and a rare faculty for classifying
and assimilating knowledge. Sho
had long been a great reader, but
i was unable to write when Thomas
was horn, and taught, herself writing
for the purpose of corresponding
I with her son. The strength and independence
of her mind are indicated |
by the fact that she suggested to her j
son the new theory in regard to the j
character of Cromwell, which he!
was the first to make public.
I)r. Uiltillan records a pleasant
visit to Carlyle: "1 had the great
pleasure of meeting Carlyle's excellent
mother, in company with her illustrious
son, and beautiful it was to
see his profound and tender reverence
and her motherly love, and to
her line old Convcnanting accents
concerting with his transcendental
tones."
When the "inevitable hour" came,
and Carlyle's mortal remains were
consigned to the dust, they rusted,
not amid England's great and kindred
spirits in Westminster, not in
Haddington by the wife he so tenderly
loved, but by his request in
j the biirrying-ground at Ecclefochan
by the side of Ids mother, and in
1 the midst of his kindred.
The products of' skill, the treasures
of nature, the material wealth
of the univese, have a purchasable
value, and may be accurately estimated:
but the vessel that brought
Louis Agassi/, to our shores, bore a
treasure inestimable, imperishable,
u 11 purchasable.
Ilis greatness was not an accident,
according to the logic of events, it
was a natural conclusion from certain
premises. "The reason firm,
: the temperate will," of the mother
fashioned the character in the old
home at Neufchatel.
Having lost her first four children
during infancy, she watched
over Louis with intense anxiety. She (
j discovered that his love of natural
objects was not a child's propensity I
to make playmates of the animals
around him, hut a strong intellectual ;
tendency destined to give bent to his
i life, slie aided and encouraged him
in his childish researches, often proj
paring herself by study to give the
| information besought. From sympathy
with the lower animals, she
i developed that sympathy with hnj
man beings which so conspicuously
distinguished him.
From her he inherited the won
derful personal magnetism, which
I/iwell lias so aptly expressed in a
single line, "Wherever he met a
stranger, there he left a friend." |
The following is an extract fr<yur
a letter written by Mine. Agassi/, jto
her son; "To do all the good y<im
cap to your fellow-being*, to havo a
pure conscience, to gain an honorti*
hie livelihood, to make those around
you happy?this is true happiness:
all the rest are but mere accessories."
When Agdssiz was separated from
his mother lie kept her advised of
all his undertakings, and his work
was none the less interesting to her
when the ocean rolled between them
than when he was able to discuss it
daily with her. She remained his
most intimate friend to the last hour
of her life, and he survived her only
six yearo*

that he was the friend of her son,
and that Ids adopted county looked

There are some Christians to whom
words of the servant to Naaman
might bo well applied. The captain
of the host of the King of Syria was
very angry because the prophet Klisha
had told him to do a thing that
seemed so small as to be ridiculous
and contemptible. lie felt himself
too great a man to do such a simple
thing as to wash in the Jordan, but
!*is servant wisely said: <4My father,
if the prophet had bid thee do some
great thing wouldst thou not have'
done it?" Certainly he would, and
the servant could appropriately say
to him: "How much rather wash and
be clean"?that is, if you would do
the great thing in obedience to the
command of the prophet, you certainly
should be even more willing
to do the little thing he has commanded.
This kind of treatment
swept away the harrier of pride behind
which the Syrian captain had
placed himself, and we are told he
did "according to the saying of the
man of God," and was healed. Just
so soon as Naaman was brought to a
true spirit of obedience he was as
willing to do the small thing as the
great
There are yet some people in the
world who need to be brought to
the same state of mind.
Any man whom the Lord will use
in great things must be willing to do
any t hi Jig. There are a very few
great things to be done in the Mas
tar's service, and a great many peo
pie would like to do them, whila
there are innumerable so called small
things to be done, and comparatively
few who aro ready to undertake
them. Some one has said: "Once
in a while, when a great fortress is
to be taken, God will bring out a
great field piece and rake all with

Here is a feet whicn the Muse
Clio has entered as an item in the!
great journal of universal history;
March 12. 18(51, John Forsyth and
Martin J. Crawford requested Sec re- <
tary Seward to appoint as early aj
day as possible, on which day they
might present to the President of the j
United States the credentials which
they bore as commissioners duly ae-'
credited by tho Government of the
Confederate States of America, to
which request Secretary Seward,
with President Lincoln's approval,
three days later replied that he saw
in recent events and the condition
political affairs in the South not a
rightful and accomplished re vol u
tion and an independent nation, with
an established government, but rather
a perversion of temporary and
partisan excitement,
And here is fact, unpublished
hitherto, which a Philadelphia die[sinker,
P. H. Jacobus, -10 South 3d
street, entered in his journal;
March 8, 18(51, tilled an order for
two seals inscribed "Confederate
States of America, department of
State," and "Confederate States of
America, department of war." The
order was sent by Joel White, hookseller,
Montgomery, Ala, to the Lip
pincott Company, and Thomas W.
Hartley, of that, company, transferal
to me.
These seals were used in all offi
cial documents of the Confederacy
until the seat of government was removed
to Kichmond.
Now let us add two other, facts
! with their respective dates:
i At ! 20 A. M., April 12, 1801,
the roar of a mortar from Sullivan's
, Island, quickly followed by the rushj
ng shriek of a shell, gavo notice to
the world that the era of compromise
diplomacy and misapprehension was
ended; and on Sunday afternoon,
April 14, with colors Hying and
drums beating, bringing a'ray
his company and private property,
and saluting his Hag with lifty guns
j Major Hobt Anderson marched out
i of Fort Sumter*
Looking back a few montlls to
learn how i'hiladelphians felt before
the crisis actually arrived, we find
that on December ft), 1800, Mayor
Alexander Henry issued nproclianm
tion, by the advice of the councils of
the city, summoning the whole people
thereof to assemble on the 13th
in Independence square. Tho"result
was the most imposing of all meetings
which were held to discuss measures
for placating the deeply offend
I'd South. In his address Mayor
Henry said: "The misplace teach
ings of the pulpit, the unwise rhapsodies
of the lecture room, the exciting
appeals of the press, on the
subject of slavery must be frowned
| down by a just and law abiding people
Thus only, may you hope to avoid
'sectional discord, agitation, and animostity.''
The Hon. .Joseph lb In"
jgersolI followed, saying: "It is a
| farce to suppose that this country
will be divided." Charles K. Lex
said: "Let us discountenance any
denunciation of slavery, or of those
who maintain that institution."
Theodore Cuyler said: "Let us receive
our brother of the South, if he
! will come among us for a littlo time
attended by his servant, and permit
thus to come. We arc bound by a
sacred compact not to interfere or
meddle with the institution of slav
ory as it exists in many of our sister
States." The spirit of this great
meeting was embodied in ressolutions
of the niQst conciliatory, friendly
and apologetic feone>
" '4h these foiir concise statements
of fact?in tflo few words which
iiuvetyeen devoted to tlie Confederate
cointjiissioncrs. the Confederate
seals, the fall of Sumter, and the
mass meeting injlndepondcncc square
?lies the substance of a whole chapter
of history. There is no more
interesting chapter in the history of
civil war than that which deals with
the sentiment which prevailed in the
Northern States immediately before
the outbreak of hostilities.
Ask Mr. Jacobus if he thought at
the time thut there was anything
strange in receiving an order for
seals to lie used by the 'Confeder*

reply simply: "Oh, no. I had other
orders from Southern linns and filled
this among the rest."
Ask a representative of the J. K.
I.ippiueott Company, whose memo-i
ry goer, tmek to tnat day, if this
commission excited surprise, and he,
will answer: "if we should get aM
order for seals 'Independent County
of Chester," or the 'Confederate
States of Delaware and Maryland.,
we should till it, payment be- j
ing guaranteed. That's the way we
felt about the order from our cor-,
respondeney in Montgomery."

moral kind to remove freckles or
wrinkles. To meet the respectable, |

can hardly be hoped for, by appearances,

the bottles do not show the

in all cases; and jockeys sometimes
forget to tell a horse's faults; and
there have been books written on
I adulterations and tricks in trade;
and men's words or writings are not
always the unclouded expression of
their thoughts. And yet to meet
i men, how nearly perfect they seem
in their suavity, innocence, and

iccessary to a plentiful growth of
eathcrs of pure quality, as well as

dace for geese raising is a hilly piece

point of view, to breed geese in

jreeds of geese, when Iho birds are
lesired for prolit, are the gray or ~
Toulouse and the white or Kmbden.
These insure hardiness, early maturity,

The Kmbdens require a pond, but
the Toulouse, other things being favorable,
will do fairly well with

gander and goose are respectively
twenty-five pounds and twenty-th^e
pounds, and for young ones, tw^tw
pounds and eighteen pounds. The
standard weights for Kmbdens are
placed at the same figures, though
the common opinion is that the
Toulouse gain the heavier weights.
Other and less well known varieties
lire the African, light gray plumage;
Chinese, brown, also white plumage;
Uunadu, gray, and Kgytian, colored
plumage.
When geese are s?*t early two
broods may be obtained from each
female, thus securing large Hocks
for each season's sales. The latter
hatched birds make excellent flesh
by Christmas time. AJgoose makes
but a poor show upon the table unless
it is very fat. For fattening
geese ought to be penned up, half a
dozen together in a dark coop or shed,
and fed on barley meal and fattening
grains. When raised for market old
geese may be plucked three times
and young ones once before killing
time. Geese lay regularly, and rear
their young well season after season
but the ganders are not profitable
kept more than three or four years.
