glnMofflus ?rprtmcttt. THE PICKLED WATCH. * The other day we met Wiggins, and he had * a silver-cased watch?hunting case at that. We have known Wiggins five-and-twenty years and never knew him to carry a watch before. We asked him where he got it. He gave us a nod and a leer and said that he would tell us. "Last fall," he commenced, "I killed the old brindle cow, aud put up the best part of her into the beef barrel. I didn't want to make it very salt, so I set it out in the shed, where the frost might touch it and keep it; and you'd believe it made good eating." "One day my wife says to me?says she, "Wiggins, 'pears to me our beef is going mighty fast' I went and looked, and 3ure enough, it was going?going rather faste'rn I thought than it ought to. "I've noticed it lowering unaccountably this long time," said my wife. Somebody is stealing it. Why don't ye set a trap ?" But my neighoors were all good hearted kind of folks, though one or two of them might bi$ust a leetle inclined to poke round where ^fey did not belong and I did not want to hurt them. I concluded, howsomever, that it wodkl be best to put the barrel, with what lit^Q beef was left, down in the cellar; and I "MPeUfWffen the beef was all used up, ana I wenr to clear out the barrel, I fouud this watch in the pickle. It looked to me like Tom Sherman's watch. Tom had worked for me considerable, and I have seen him have j the watch, or one very much like it. When I j saw Tom I showed him the watch, and he j said right off it was his. "How did ye lose it?" said I. "I carried it in my pocket without a chain, j and must have dropped it out when I was stooping," said he. "Well," said I, "then ye must have been stooping over my beef barrel, for I found it in the pickle!" With that Tom looked 'kind of sheepish; and I guess he saw the twinkle in my eye. "Let me look at that watch again," said he. He looked at it a little while, and then he handed it back to me. "On the whole, Mr. Wiggins," siaid he, "I guess that ain't my watch, arter all. It must belong to some one else." And with that he walked off. I carried the watch to our jeweller, and 'he found that the cases had shut so tight that tho, works hadn't been pickled a bit; and forW dollar he cleaned it up in good shape, and set it a running. It's a first rate time-keeper, and I reckon that whoever took my beef paid all 'twas worth." ? AN ELECTRIFIED INDIAN. Our Piute Indians are of ail inauiriner turn of mind and always flock around at any kind of street show, where they will stand for hours stretching their necks over the shoulders of the white spectators, drinking in through open eyes ana mouths the wonder before them. Sunday afternoon last quite a crowd of white men and the usual sprinkling of Piutes were gathered about the electrical machine which was in full blast near the corner of C and Union streets. Several whites had bought two bits' worth of the artificial lightning, when a "big Injun," whose raiment consisted principally of a big turkey feather and a few daubs of red paint, marched up in a drove by himself, like Baxter's hog, and became a customer to the peddler of home-made lightning. He seized upon the handles of the machine, and the man at the wheel began to grind. So deep was the silence which reigned in the expectant crowd that you might baveheard the blowing of a nose. Presently the painted warrior began to exhibit signs of uneasiness. He evidently felt thrills ana things?^twitches, for instance. His grim countenance became grimmer, then grimmest. There was a fearful working of his facial muscles; his eyes begau to goggle; the paint on his cheek-bones cracked and fell off in flakes; he tried to drop the handles of the machine, but they stuck fast to his fingers. "Hi-you!" cried he, "no good-ee! Stan you nana! Yoy stop-ee wagon?whoa haw; d?n!" Hereupon he began a wild sort of war dance, his fingers still upon the keys of the machine, as though playing an accompaniment on the piano. "Hi-you! d?n! Do 'inn omoll m*? nlonfv t\Vf? Kit 1" Thfl "wftC till OlUUlt tuv VJ Wll V . ? ? ? .. ? ?5 on" being stopped, the "noble red man" made a break through the crowd at a rapid rate. Upon gaining a safe distance, he turned, and drawing himself up fb his full height, with great dignity remarked as follows: "Shoo fly!"? Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise. The Baby that was Sick.?Baby was much worse; it had not only sucked its thumbs, but wiggled its toes. It could not continue long. The doctor, with a grave face entered the sick room. Biddy rubbed her mistress with camphor. Mr. Phillips stood by, wiping his eyes with the drapery of his scant attire. . "Oh, doctor! will it die? Only save it and you may take all I have!" cried Mrs. Phillips, wringing her hands. "I'll get down on my knees ana thank you forever." "Keep your sitting, marm, keep your sitting," said the doctor, taking a large pinch of snuff. ' * "Don't keep me in suspense! only look at its precious little arm! What is it? For the love of heaven, tell me?let me know the worst!" "Well, marm, if I speak out you promise not to blame me ?" asked the doctor gravely. "No, no!" "Marm," said he, with a face still more elongated, "it!s my opinion, as a man and a physician, that the child has been bitten by four bedbugs, or else it has been bitten in four places by one insect of that description." ;?'.'Drjprtfy," cried the father, do you mean "By no means, sir?I repeaTit" "No, you don't!" veiled Mrs. P.

"Please, sir," said the favorite, "I was I dreamin' that I was goin' to California, and I thought the school bell was the steamboat bell, as I was goin' in." ."Very well," said the master, glad of any pretext to excuse his favorite.

Would Sing It.?A story is told of an old i 1 t 1? -1 .L - a _ 1 J.J I clergyman wno nuu me rnosi unDounueu faith in Watt's hymn-book. He was fond of saying that he could never open to any page without finding an appropriate hymn. A mischievous son of his thought it would be a i good joke to test his father's faith. So he I took an old song and pasted it on one of the pnges of the book, over a hymn, so nicely that it could not be easily detected. At church, on Sabbath morning, the minister happened to open at that very page, and commenced to j read: "Old Grimes is dead." There was a sensation in the audience. He J looked at the choir and they looked at him ; but such was his faith in Watt's hymns that: he undertook it again, commencing with the same line. There was another sensation in the audience. Looking at it again, and then at the congregation, and then at the choir, said he, "Brethren, it is here in the regular order in Watt's hymn-book, and we will sing j it, anyhow." "Why I Want the Boys to Learn Farming.?Every pursuit or calling that ministers j to the sustenance, comfort or enlightenment! of mankind is honorable and laudable. That! is a narrow and essentially false coneeption | which regards thefimner as more a benefac-; tor than a beneficiary, and stigmatizes as drones and corm^Hpts all who do not directly contribute to fne production and increase of material wealth. The upright# able lawyer, the studious, skilled physician, the pious, loving clergyman, are workingmen, as truly and quite as nobly as though they were woodchoppers or bricklayers. He who, by whatever means, helps to diminish the fearful aggregate of ignorance, sin and suffering in the world, and diffuse instead knowledge, virtue and happiness, is worthy of all honor, and far from me be the wish to discourage or degrade him. And yet I hold it the- duty of every father to look well to the physical and industrial training, to efficiency in some pursuit which ministers.directly to the material or physical needs of mankind. My reasons for this conviction jire summed up as follows : The demand for intellectual labor or its pibducts, and even'ior mercantile capacity, is exceedingly capricidhs. In a season of commercial prosperity, a great city affords employment to thousands as clerks, book-keep ers, teachers of music, languages, etc., who' will nearly all be left high and dry by the ebb of the tidfe.. War, pestilence, a bad harvest, a business revulsion, throws them suddenly out of employment, and no merit or excellence on their part can avert' the catastrophe. I would have every one so armed and equipped for the battle of life that, if suddenly unhorsed^he can fight on efficiently and undismayedly on foot?Beecher. Horse Feed.?It is well known that horses which have to ti*avel fast do best on oats ; while for heavy, steady hauling there is noth- j ing like corn for feed. The reason of this has never been known. But recent investigations made by the French government have given some clue to it The officers in the cav-! airy service entrusted with the examination of the subject, have come to the conclusion that the bulk of food really has as much to do with giving a horse wind, as the mere nutritious part of it It makes no difference about the chemical analysis of the elements, of the food. Indeed, it would seem that if a good portion of it contains articles of no nutritious value so much the better. Now corn contains a very much larger per centage of nutritious elements, chemically speaking, than oats; but the thick hulls of the oats supply the bulk, which they believe to be so necessary to the healthy action of the elements of jmtrition. This theory is further confirmed By the observation of our own cowfeeders, who find that corn meal, when ground act CTAft/1 nnnro oa up, UUU KliU oil, is juoi> ao ^wu ii/A vvno uo when the bulk is made up of pure com alone. There is much matter for reflection here. It shows that it will not do to go altogether by what is called pure chemical science in our agricultural operations. Indeed, it gives us only a very small insight into the workings of nature: Chemical laws are derived from an analysis of dead matter, while the laws of life are evidently of another order. We would not depreciate the real value of chemical science. We have learned much, and can learn much more from it. But chemistry and vitality are essentially distinct things, as we want nothing better than these new discoveries in the law of food to show.?ExcJiange. Quick and Easy Cure for Founder.? Clean out the bottom of the hoof thoroughly? hold up the leg so as to bring the bottom of the hoof upward, holding it firmly in a horizontal position, and pour in, say a tablespoonful of spirits of turpentine if the cavity of the hoof will hold that much?if not, pour in what it will hold, without danger of running ! over; touch the turpentine with a red hot iron, ("this will set it 011 fire); hold the hoof firmly in position until it all burns out. Great care must be taken that none runs over on the hair or the hoof lest the skin be burned. If all the feet are affected, burn turpentine in each of them. Relief will speedily Follow and the animal will be ready for service in a short time. >X^e editor of the Athens Watchman says he had a foundered horse treated in the manner above stated one afternoon, and proceeded on a journey with the animal next morning without any apparent difficulty of movement. The reader will do well to cut out and preserve this recipe. Cabbage Flea.? We understaUd that many of our gardens are troubled with this destructive little insect known as the garden flea. These insects become very abundant in a short time, and considerable care is required to keep them in check. We get the following from an agricultural exchange: "Young cucumbers, cabbages, tomatoes, and several kinds of vegetables are its natural food; and while the plants are young this flea does much injury, even if it does not entirely destroy them. We have tried many remedies, but none have been so effectual in destroying or driving away the pest as dry wood ashes scattered over- the plants in the morning while wet with dew. Two or three applications have usually been sufficient. There are several species of these insects that infest our gardens, but the small one that infests vegetable plants can easily be controlled with ashes or lime, applied as directed." "Always be Planting a Tree."?Considering the cost, and small amount of labor, there is no one thing that so amply repays as the planting of a tree. Well-grown, it becomes always an object of beauty, a source of joy to the owner and his family?a pleasure to visitors and to the residents of a neighborhood?adds an appearance of increased value to the premises?improves the general effect of the scenery?becomes a protection from Corn nWn?the .severity of the temperature?enhances the rental vaIue"oF~a residence?often more admired than a costly building; and finally, can never be viewed without a thought of the* supreme creative Power which "doeth all things well." Taring Grindstones.?When you have a grindstone with perfectly straight face across the stone, take a little good tar and make a ring around the stone in the centre, and it will cause it to ridtre ud in the middle, so as to be more convenient for grinding a perfect edge on a tool. You need not tell your careless neighbor to please grind on the edge of the stone, for he candot grind in the centre?the tar will prevent him from gouging out the middle aud leaving the face irregular. I have tried this plan 011 my grindstone, and am pleased with it.? Correspondence Country Gentleman. Cure for Poison Oak.?A correspondent gives this as a cure for poison oak : Simply bathe the parts poisoned with hot water, as hot as it can be borne; keep increasing it till it can no longer be used without burning. Now press a soft towel against the partsso as to absorb the water, and avoid rubbing; then apply a rather strong solution of strong navv or plug tobacco on the poisoned places, and let it dry. The solution i6 best when the water is hot. I have tried this, and have been cured, or very nearly so, in two to four days at the most. g?00 When a horse refuses to eat, he should not be made to do any more service that day, for it may he known that he is tired out or sick. It is cruel to compel a horse to perform labor when in such condition that he refuses grain; yet it is often done, and by men too who think they are merciful.

[Original.] CHRISTIANITY COMPARED. It is a generally recei'. ed opinion, that man must have some religion. Those who have investigated the subject, tell us that in every land where man is found, he is engaged in worshiping some kind of a god. It is not pretended that all men are equally zealous in their devotion, nor is it assorted that the religion of all mankind is reasonable. All that is maintained is that history makes known the fact '.that men in all countries are the devotees of some divinity." Men have been found?in fact, they are abundant?who do not manifest much religious feeling; but no man has ever been found who had no religious' feeling. Now there are but lour sorts of religion in the world. Theresas Paganism, Mohammedanism, Deism and Christianity. Religion _ a1 never has existed amongst men in any omer form. Atheism is not a form of religion ; but is a flat deniarof all religion. We will not undertake to say that there cannot be any other kind of religion than those four enumerated. All that we assert in this place is the simple fact that religion always has, and still exists amongst men in one of the four foriris specified. A reasonable and intelligent man will at once conclude that it is his duty to examine these four systems and choose the best as his system. Let all four of these systems be put into the crucible, and which ever one will stand the test, let that be the religion. Nothing can be fairer than this. If Baal be God, serve him ; but if the Lord be God, then serve him. If such a proposition was made to any man with regard to secular things, he would be very apt to accede to it and make the investigation. If Paganism be compared with either Mohammedanism or Deism, it will be found in many particulars inferior to both. Paganism is the worshiping of gods which are either the workmanship of men's hands, or the imaginations of their minds. The character of Pagan gods are low and groveling as a general rule. Many Pagan nations worship insects, reptiles, animals, wood and stone images. There is nothing animate or inanimate, clean or unclean which Pagan nations have not deified. Everything of every kind and character has been regarded a god and worshiped and adored. Now when a common sense view is taken of Paganism, it is adsolutely revolting to reason. One of the characteristics of Pagan worship is that the worshiper is always greater than the object adored, and if either could claim to be a supreme being, it is the man, not the god. It seems that a mere child-in knowledge could discern the grand mistake that all Pagans make in this respect. It would be difficult to conceive of anything more senseless, not to say wicked, than for a human being to bow down and worship a piece of wood. How a child could be induced to do such a thing it is difficult to understand. But the social and moral aspect of Pagan nations is as gloomy as their gods are degraded. No man who has any knowledge of the barbarous rites and cruel ceremonies of Pagan nations, would prefer Paganism to Christianity. Paganism has a tendency to brutalise man. It weakens the intellect, and destroys all the noble sentiments of the human heart. The grand defect of Paganism is that it makes no provision for the pardon of sin or the sanctification and purification of the nature. The sacrifices of Pagan nations are inadequate to meet the penal demands of God's law, and are unable to hush the clamorings of conscience. The god's of Pagan nations are the offspring of a fear which must be felt to be understood. There is nothing like progress amongst Pa"" " ' \T. gans; all is downwards to certain ruin, n o way by which the guilt of sin can be removed and the sinner saved. Instead of the worshiper having a base upon which to build his thope of heaven, hejfinds out, when it is too late, that the whole scheme of Pagan rites and Pagan ceremonies is a baseless fabric. The wisest and best of ancient Pagans had no confidence in the religion of their countrymen. The most devout amongst them knew that something was wanting to make Paganism subserve the necessities of man's nature. To remedy this defect, the number of the idols was mutiplied, and the cost of the victims increased. Still the soul was not satisfied. It longed for something better. To compare Paganism, under its best circumstances with Christianity, seems like comparing a pearly mountain stream with a filthy stagnant swamp. Wealth and honor, hope and joy spring up and grow under the fostering care of Christianity; but misery and inhumanity, sorrow and gloom, are the children of Paganism. Mohammedanism, in many particulars, is far superior to Paganism. The doctrine of Mohammedans respecting the nature and attributes of God is in the main correct; but they do not accept the doctrines of the- trinity which is an essential part of Christianity. It is very evident that Mahomet got all his ideas of morality from the Bible. The Koran contains many things that are good; but they are all taken from the Bible. Mohammedanism is decidedly better than Paganism. But; u kacr m<my ?rrave defects. The heaven I of the Mohammedan conaista in mere carnal! ' pleasure. Liko Paganism," 110 provisr&FTB I made in the system of Mahomet for the expiation of sin. Heaven, according to the theory of the false prophet, is purchased. The vile deeds of an individual are put into one end 4)f the scales, and the good deeds into the other, and the destiny of the individual for eternity is thus determined.- According to this system, an individual lives and dies in uncertainty. The heaven of Mahomet is not worth striving for; but even poor as it is, the faithful may lose it if their sins are not balanced by their good deeds. Another defect of Mohammedanism is that the moral code, except so much as is taken from the Bible, is very defective. All that is required of any individual to become one of the faithful, is to change his profession. He needs nothing more. The system may be embraced and eve| ry sin practised. Polygamy, the sin which more than all others, strikes at the root of happiness, is one of the virtues amongst Mohammedans. The system makes good deeds consist in formal prayers, alms and long and foolish and, we may add, cruel pilgrimages; but at the same time, it fosters a spirit of barbarity?a spirit which is anything else but human. In fact, the spirit of Mohammedanism is slavery of body and soul to vile passions and carnal lusts. The next system, and the only one except Christianity, that remains, is Deism. This system, in some respects, is better than either Paganism or Mahommedanism. It has more dignity about it; but when compared with Christianity, it is found to be greatly inferior. It is very difficult to find out what is meant i by Deism. All that can be learned, even !, from those who profess to bo Deists, is that: "there is a-godbut what is the character of that god, Deiata do not attempt to tell* us. Whether he will pardon sin or not, they are not sure, for all that can be learned respecting God, according to their creed, has to be learned from the works and providence of God, and from thepe nothing can be leaSVed positively whether God will pardon sin or not. Hence, Deism, is defective in that it teaches nothing respecting pardon and forgiveness. When we compare all these syst^mjTof religion with Christianity, we find that Christianity is superior to all of them in every particular that is essential to the temporal comfort and eternal happiness of man. Christianity makes provision for the pardon of sin and for the regenerating of our nature. Jesus died and his blood cleanses from all sin. The Holy Spirit sanctifies the nature and plants holiness in the soul. The dictates of common sense would be, that since Christianity is jLhe best system of, religion in existence, and since it meets every want of inan's nature, to accept it?embrace it and practise its precepts. [Original.] SAFE RULE. We are continually laying schemes foPtEe future, and in nine cases out of ten, we find that our plans prove of no avail. The grand cause ofour failures, is that our pkns art so concocted that we are obliged to violate some precept of God's law in executing then^O^, labors sgem to be blosse4jjajyjcc^||J^p to de aoout to crown our enons; uuitjuiuiv we are aware, all our plans are thwarted, and all our labors blasted. Men get rich in a few years, and in a much shorter time, are reduced to poverty. Individuals are elevated to places of trust and honor, and then suddenly thrust down to fill places of infamy and shame. The reason of all these strange phenomena is that the rule by which men generally work is not a good one, and very unsafe. Human wisdom is a very good thing; but what men often call wisdom is foolishness. It is surely not wisdom to choose, as a means to accomplish a certain end, a cause which is inadequate. Like causes produce like effects, and the same cause, other things being equal, will always produce the same effect. This is a law of God and cannot be violated with impunity. Every one knows the fact, but very few shape their plans in accordance with the law of God. Whenever our plans are of such a nature that they conflict with the justice and m?rcy of God, we may calculate with unerring certainty that overthrow awaits us. Our destruction may slumber, but it is none the less sure. A Latin historian gives utterance to a rixo/lfinol llflllfxT Tf. Ifi tlllfl . OCUUUlClil UJL puv;bivi*l uvu??^ * "Before we act there is need of counsel; after counsel, there is need of action." This is the true theory. To act without thinking is as unsafe as it is foolish; To follow the blind impulses of our nature will, in nine cases out of ten, bring us to temporal infamy and.eternalruin. The only safe rule by which we can be guided is the Bible, and the indication of providence as manifest in the past history of the world. The man who makes the Word of God his rule, will always come out well in the end. ' To the human eye, he may riot appear to prosper like those who rush in a dtfulrSe of open opposition to the statutes of Ggd^bjut he will end well. Men are very liable to .be grossly deceived by external appearances. The cheat and swindle appears very frequently ,to enjoy greater share of the approbation of memthan irWttJrT est man; but unfortunately for the cheat and swindler, his sun goes down in an. eternal night, and it often sets before life becomes extinct. No man ever labored harder to make himself famous, and appeared to be more successful in his plans than Cardinal Woolsey. He did any and everything that would please a foolish King. He was faithful to the letter to his temporal sovereign, and recreant to his God. For years success crowned his labors; but at last his king deserted him and poor Woolsey died with the bitter reflection on his mind that if he had been as faithful to his God as he had been to his king, he would not have been cast off in his old age. All is well that ends well, says a most distinguished author. He might have added that nothing ends well that is not in strict accordance with the testimonies of the Lord. The statutes of the Lord are sure, says the Poolmiaf A at.rint. nhedienee rendered to God's law is sure to result in good; and a violation of the statutes of the Most High isaure to end in infamy and shame. The course of the man who makes God's law his rule of action is a glorious course. No evil can befall him. There are no lions in his way. The path is narrow, but it is free from all impediments, and he will ultimately arrive at his journey's end crowned with dignity and honor. His memory shall be held in everlasting remembrance, and generations unborn will spread flowers upon his grave. [Orlginnl.J JESUS. ) The word Jesus is of Greek origin, and means saviour; hence, the Son of God is called Jesus, "because he saves his people from their sins." How, it may be asked, does Jesus save us from our sins? The proper answer of this question is of vital importance. Before we can accept of Jesus as a Saviour, we must have clear and well defined ideas of his capabilities to save; and we must ipore-. over have a distinct knowledge of wufoha proposes 10 do' to save us. ? Beioi'ti any tflhlw can be saved, the guilt and corruption of sin must be removed, and a perfect obedience rendered to the law of God. Jesus met the demands of the law by rendering, in human nature, a perfect obedience to all its precepts. This obedience was not for himself, but for sinners. That the Son of God was capable of rendering an obedience to the law, there can be no doubt; for he became the son of man, having taken to himself a true body and a reasonable soul. As man, he obeyed the law of God for the sinner; and as man, he died for the sinner. Jesus lived a life of obedience and died a death of most agonizing pain for the sinner. What Jesus did and suffered, was done and suffered in the character of a surety. He became the sinner's surdty, and since the sinner failed, Jesus took his place in law and obeyed and died for him. Therefore, the man who believes in Jesus, is not under law, but under grace. Such an individual is not saved by works, but by grn?e. Jesus assumes the moral debts of the individual who believes in him. The sins of the believer are imputed to Jesus, and the righteousness of Jesus is imputed to the believer. But Jesus saves the sinner from the pollution of sin by creating him anew. Jesus made ample provision for regenerating and sanctifying the sinner. He sent the Holy Spirit to quicken them into life and make them new creatures. Jesus lived and died for sinners, and the Holy Spirit sanctifies sinners. ^ Cross-Bearers.?Christians are all crossbearers. It is truly a family badge.

LEARN A TRADE. ~ A friend from Philadelphia writes "As one of the visitors at the Eastern State Penitentiary, I have ascertained that, out of 600 prisoners, only six ever learned a trade : namely, two shoemakers, one blacksmith, one cabinet-maker, one tin-smith, one stone-cutter. Several began to learn trades, but ran away, after a short time." Here is a text 1 One cannot but remember the lines of Dr. Watts: "And Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do." There are good reasons for learning a wholesome trade, aside from the direct question of good morals. Even if one is placed beyond the need of manual labor for his own .support, a mechanical trade will afford amusement? A shop in the house, with all mechanical tools, would give exercise to scholars, professional men and gentlemen retired upon a competence from business. We have known men who made the most of the repairs on their property; who took care of their own clocks; who ?Avnallanf nioooa ixf | cuuiu lunuiunvbuiD voijr cAtcuvut j>iwvu ?. furniture; and found pleasure and exercise in doing so. But a trade will always be a resource on which to fall back in case of pecuniary misfortune. And it is in this view, especially that we consider it important that boys who are expectant heirs of property, young men who are to enter upon commercial pursuits, s and J^-^ary and professional men, should I how to work with their hands, them, in cate of reverses, to earn their bread. We never heard more bitter curses, than those which a young man poured upon the head of his father. He was the child of a very rich father. He was sent to school all his youth long, but was taught to do absolutely nothing: He could not harness a horse, milk a cow, hold a plough, manage a spade, use a tool of any kind. He had never been taught to provide for himself a single article. He was as ignorant how to get along in the world as a baby. And when he was about of age his father utterly failed, and his son was launched upon the world to seek a livelihood, with no ideas of money except how profusely to spend it, and with no tact at business of any kind, and with a disposition which had been educated to expect men to look up to him. With sensitive pride, with little knowledge of .men, with faculties decidedly above the average, he managed to get along in a poor way, forever in debt, perpetually nhancrincr his nomination, and alwavs with the result of leaving him, if possible, a little worse off than before. He never spoke of his father without rage. "What business had he to leave my whole life open to misery by neglecting his duty to me ? If he had cut off my hands and my feet, he would not have been more cruel than to have left me helpless as I am." Every child has a right to be taught how to work with his hands. Every boy should be taught not only all common work on a farm or in a garden, but should be taught some simple elements of mechanical trades. It would be especially well that.the young should learn minor trades. The manufacture of boxes, baskets and the one hundred little conveniences of daily life, not only tend to create an occupation and amusement, but, should fortune be reversed, it will enable one to gather up a slender support. It ought not to be supposed that a trade will preserve a man's integrity and honor. There are many rogues who follow trades. There are, in New York and elsewhere, many men who make their trade a cloak under which they carry on knaveries. But it is still true, that an honest trade will deliver a man' from many of those temptations under which weak men fall into rum ; that it will save him from suffering and disgraceful mendicancy. ' Every man should have a trade, ,^yen if he-does-notyexpect to live by it.- No man can tell what will happen to him. A trade may now be your amusement, but by and by it may be your support. The Jews had a proverb in olden times: "He that does not teach his child a trade, teaches him to steal." The letter with which we began, is the best commentary that we can offer on the proverb.?Henry Ward Beecher. COLLISIONS BETWEEN THE RACES. Winnsboro is, we oeneve, witnoui exception, the most orderly and well-behaved community in the State. It haa been under the influence of discreet and prudent men, both white and black. But foolish boys, of both colors, now threaten to bring about trouble. It may seem to them something to their credit to show dutch courage in creating a disturbance, but we solemnly warn them that it is a matter that insolvefcdeath, to a perfect certainty ; and their wnole view of it would be greatly changed, if, the day after such a disturbance, the boy that gave occasion to it were called upon to follow his father's body to the grave. But the other day, on the Fourth of July, a quarr.el arose between a white boy in Alabama, which immediately spread, and before it ended, three negroes were killed, and two white men were wounded. We do not' doubt that the five victims were very innocent people. Just so, it would be here. We believe we but express the quiet, determined sentiment of the entire white race in the South, when we say, that they intend that no general collision shall be bloodless, except one that ends immediately in the dispersion and submission of the negroes. There have been some thirty or forty of such collisions already, of which the most prominent occurred in New Orleans and in Memphis, and in every case, this fierce, unflinching resolution of the whites has shown itself by its fruits. The negroes have b?en killed relentlessly; and they will be killed, till judgment day, in every instance of collision between the races. It is well-known that in the melee at Augusta, Georgia, even the Yankee troops, called out to restore order, fiercely thrust the negroes through with their bayonets. And yet, though it is the deliberate judgment of the sober whites, that S~ fe severity is real mercy, and that Death to e negroes who refusejo _disjperae and who Harfe prolong the conflict, is the only rule upon which the whites can possibly be expected to act, these collisions are most mournful and deplorable affairs, by every consideration to be avoided, if possible. And we exhort parents of both colors to punish their boys most severely, who give occasion for bringing one on in so peaceful a community as our own. And it is the duty of all good citizens to inform most particularly upon such boys, and stop the very beginning of trouble.? Winnsboro' Nexus. ' ROBIN HOOD. Every one is familiar with the name of Robin Hood, although so little is known of him. His real name was Robert Fitzooth, which degenerated, in the mouths of the common people, into Robin Hood. He was an outlaw, who lived in the reign of Richard rVrutr /loT.inn nnrl .Tr>Vm liisi stlf?rp_?isrn\ flhnilt the close of the twelfth and the beginning of the thirteenth century. His headquarters were in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire. He is saic to have been of good birth; but, having sqiandered his property, took to the woods, and became what might be called a j "gentleman robber." At the time of Robin's I exploits, tie forest laws were executed with j great vigor; and it is said that William the | Conqueror, and the Norman kings that suc! ceeded him, destroyed thirty-six parishes, 1 pulled dow? thirty churches and depopulated | the country for miles around, in order to have ! a fine park for enjoying the pleasures of the j chase; consequently, a great number of the people had ;o flee to the woods. These out! casts, having a common interest, banded to! gether, and by their vigilance and determi' nation, wen able to avoid the pursuits of their 1 enemies. It is saic that Robin Hood had a hundred 1 companions, able-bodied men, who weft so ' formidable that four hundred men dare not | attack them. He seems to have pursued a / N. I certain syBtem in his robberies, and, wishing . to pacify his conscience, spared the poor, and plundered the rich. He waft particularly gallant to women; hence it b not strange that his exploits have been celebrated in a number of ballads and songs, extolling his chivalry and his humanity to the poor. His particular companions were little John and Friar Tuck. At length feeling the infirmities of age, and being attacked by illhess, 'ho went to a nunnery to be bled?nuns, at that time, being more or less devoted to the healing art; but in his case, out of revenge, it is supposed, for some attack upon their convent, they allowed him to bleed to death, in the eighty-seventh year of his age. Robin was buried under some trees near the convent, and a stone duly inscribed, marks the spot . How to Have a LoviJjg Wife.?A correspondent sends the following to the Phrenological Journalu "If you would have a loving 4wife, be as gentle m your words after as before marriage ; treat her quite as tenderly when a matron as when a miss; don't make her the maid of all ' work and ask her why she looks less tidy and neat than when "you first knew herdon't buy cheap, tough beef, and scold her because it does not come on the table "porter house don't grumble about squalling babies, if you can't keep up a "nursery," and remember that "baby" may take after papa in his disposition ; don't smoke and chew tobacco, and lino ahattar Tmnr nervps And Rnnil vmir tflm per and make your breath a nuisance, and then complain that your wife declines to kiss yob; go home .joyous and cheer^il to wour wife and tell hef the good news you have heard, and not silently put on your hat and go out to the "club" or "lodge," and let her afterwards learn that you spent the evening at the opera or a fancy ball with Mrs. Dash. Love your wife; be patient; remember that you are not perfect, but try to be; let whisky, tobacco and vulgar company alone; spend your evenings with your wife, and live a decent, christian life,?nd your wife will be loving and true?if you did not marty a thoughtless beauty without sense or worth; if you aid, who is to blame if you suffer the consequences? Our Home.?Home is the one place of all this world where hearts are sure in each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defence, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It iq the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensations of awkwardness,'and without any dread of ridicule. Let a man travel where he will, home is the place to which his heart, untraveled, fondly turns. He is to double all pleasure there. He is to divide all pain. A nappy home is the single spot of rest which a man has upon this earth for the cultivation of his noblest sensibilities. And now, my brethren, if that be the description of home, is God's place of rest vour home? Walk abroad and alone by night That awfhl other world in the stillness and the solemn deep of the eternities above, is it your home? Those graves that lie beneath you, holding in them the infinite secret, and stamping upon all earthly loveliness the mark of frailty, and change, and fleetingness?are those graves the 1 prospect to which, in bright days and dark days, you can turn without disn^ay? God in his splendors?dare we feel with him affectionate and familiar, so that trial comes softened by this feeling ? It is my father, and enjoyment cap be taken with a frank feeling; my father has given it me, without grudging to make me happy. All that is having a .home in God. Are we at home there ??Robertson's Sermons. > ' The Local Paper.?What tells us so readily the standard of a town or a city as the appearance of its paper ? And its. youth or its age can as well be determined by the observing as by a personal notice. The enterprise of its citizens is depicted by its advertisements ; their liberality by the looks of the paper. Some papers show ti good, solid; healthy foundation, plethoric puijses, and a well-to-do appearance generally; others show a striving to contend with the grasping thousands around them, trying hard to wrench an existence from their close-fisted communities. An occasional meteoric display in its columns of telegraph, or local, or of editorials, shows what it can do if it had the means; but it cannot continue in the expensive woifc until support comes, which ought to be readily granted. A newspaper is like a church?it wants fostering in the commencement, and for a few | years; then, as a general thing, it caa walk alone, and reflect credit upon its location.' | Take your home paper?it gives you more , news of immediate interest than any other paper can possibly do; it talks for you when other localities belie you; it stands up for your rights; you always have a champion in your home paper; and those who stand up! for you should certainly be well sustained. Your interests are kindred and equal, and , you must rise or fall together. Therefore, it is to your interest to support your home pa, per, not grudgingly, but in a liberal spirit; as a pleasure, not as a disagreeable duty, but as , an investment that will amply pay the expen^ diture.?Chicago Republican. . Earthquake, in the Mediterranean.? 1 The Grecian Archipelago has again been disturbed by a volcanic upheaval, and with terv rible results. For two thousand veani, we are told, .earful convulsions have from time ' to time qhanged the face of nature in that region. Islands have suddenly risen out of the depths of the sea, and as suddenly disappeared. In the recent earthquake, the island of Santorin, which belongs to the group of the Cyclades, celebrated in the poets, and which, since 1868, has been consuming with hidden fires, was riven throughout its whole extent; and its capital, Thera, reduced to a heap of ruins, while an adjacent island was swallowed up by the Mediterranean. It does not appear that this latter was inhabited, and we'tan only lament that it was not the home of the Greek brigands. Santorin is a corruption of Saint'Irene, the name given to the island in the third century of the Christian era. In ancient time it sent forth the colony that founded the Libyan city of Cyrene. Its chief production was the vine, which flourishes best in volcanic countries, and from which the inhabitants made one million gallons of wine annually. The full extent of the calamity will be known only when accounts can reach us from Athens. + + Eloquence of Wendell Phillips.? Some years ago?it was before the rebellion? when Wendell Phillips and others were using every effort to abolish slavery, there was a meeting in this city at which ne made an address. A southern slaveholder was present, and after listening a while to the burning words of the orator, went out in a rage, and resorting to the counting room of a friend, exclaimed: "I have been to hear Wendell Phillips speak, and such words, such abuse, too bad, too bad. The rascal deserves to be hung; and if we had him at the South, hung he would be, and that rightguickly, too. Oh, j it is too bad, too bad." "Howlong'didyou | hear him speak ?" asked the friend. "Why I for more than one full hour," replied the Southerner, "and all the time he poured out the hardest words toward us of the South." "But why," inquired the friend, "whydid you sit there so long and hear such severe words?" "Because," said the slaveholder, "confound ' the fellow, I couldn't get away from him."? | Boston Traveler. !
