A ROMANTIC COURTSHIP.
A student who had completed his studies,
and commencing his professional life under
very favorable auspices, was on his way home
late in the autumn to make a little visit to
the paternal roof. It was in old times, when
the only mode of conveyance for travelers was
the stage coach. Among his fellow passengers
in the coach was a young lady of very
agreeable person and manners, who first attracted
his notice by her kind consideration
for an old woman, who was assisted into the
coach at the wayside inn. In the course of
the day the gentleman became pretty well acquainted
with the young lady, whose name
he ascertained was Mary W . He began
to feel a strong interest in her, and it would
seem trorn tne result mat tue interest was in
sotne degree reciprocal. In the course of the
conversation that they held together in the
stage, and also walking up certain long hills,
where such of the passengers as were so disposed
got out to relieve the horses, they
learned mutually many particulars of each
other's parentage and history, so that as the
day paked on they began to feel somewhat
like old friends.
During the afternoon a rain storm came on.
The road became wet and heavy, and the progress
made was slow. The sky was overcast,
and darkness supervened at a very early hour,
while the stage was yet several miles from the
village where it was to stop. As the wheels
went on plowing through the mud and ruts,
the passengers, became uneasy, for the driver
had no light. The young lady, however,
evinced so much calmness and composure as
greatly to increase the interest which the student
felt for her. The danger was real as the
event proved, for just as the coach reached
the top of the hill, the wheels on the one side
went off the edge of the road into a ditch and
the coach overturned.
The student called out to the passengers to
lie as still as possible, so as to get out quietly,
one by one, from the openings in the side of
the coach which was uppermost. He was
himself near the door on that side, and was
t.h? first. tr? Ascanp.. He then assisted the oth
ers by feeling, for it was so utterly dark that
nothing could be seen. The young lady came
next but one. The road was so wet and muddy,
he said, that she could not step in it, and
she must let him carry her to the bank on the
side. She consented.
So he took her in his arms and began to carry
her across the muddy road, feeling his way
in the utter darkness, made more intense by
the trees of a forest that bordered the road.
She yielded herself so readily to his grasp, and
reclined her head so confidingly upon his
shoulder that he was encouraged to whisper
in her ear, "Mary, are you engaged to be married
?" She answered, "No." "Areyou willing
to be my wife?" "Yes." He sealed the
promise with the usual little ceremony, and
then placed his prize on a flat stone by the
roadside, the white surface of which reflected
the sky sufficiently to make its form just visible,
after which he went back to assist the
ether passengers.
They were married, and the lady afterward
often told her friends that she always had the
most agreeable associations with the idea of
the upsetting of a stage coach, though they
could not imae-ine whv.
ANECDOTES OP SHERIDAN.
Sheridan was once staying at the house of
an elderly maiden lady in the country, who
wanted more of his company than he was willing
to give. Proposing one day to take a
stroll with him, he excused himaelf to her on
account of the badness of the weather. Shortly
afterward she met him sneaking out alone.
"So, Mr. Sheridan," said she, "it has cleared
up."
"Just a little, ma'am; enough for one, but
not for two."
As Sheridan was entering court one day, carrying
his books and briefs in a green bag, according
to the custom of the time, some of his
brother barristers thinking to play a joke upon
him, urged some boys to ask him if he nad
old clothes for sale in his green bag.
"Oh no," instantly responded Sheridan,
"they are all new suits."
Those who are in the habit of telling prodigious
stories ought to have good memories;
but unfortunately their memories are very
short. Kichara Brinsley Sheridan dealt with
these mendacious pests in a manner peculiar
to himself. He would never allow himself to
be outdone by a verbal prodigy. Whenever
a monstrous story was told in his presence, he
would endeavor to outdo it by one of his own
coinage, and consign the narrator to confusion
by a falsehood more glaring than his own.
Once in his hearing, a sporting adventurer
ran thus: "I was fishing one day in a certain
cold spring, full of delicious trout, and soon
caught a large mess. But what was really
surprising, not a foot from the cold spring
there was one of boiling water, so that, when
you wanted to cook your fish, all you had to
do after hooking them from the cold spring,
was to pop them directly into the boiling."
The company all expressed astonishment
and incredulity at this monstrous assertion,
with the exception of Sheridan. "I know,"
said he, "of a phenomenon still more surprising.
I was fishing one day, when I came to
a place where there were three springs. The
first was a cold one stocked with fish, the second
a boiling spring, and the third a natural
fountain of melted butter and parsley."
"Melted butter and parsley!" exclaimed
the first story-teller, "impossible !"?Bench

M&" A reformed gambler was about to die,
and sent lor a minister, when the following
conversation occurred:
"Pastor, do you think I am near death ?"
"I regret to say I believe you are."
"Do you think, since I am converted, I will
go to Heaven ?"
"Yes, I believe you will."
"Do you expect to go there too ?"
"Yes I believe I will."
"Well, we'll, be angels, won't we, and have
wings to fly with ?"
"Yes, I'm sure, we'll be like angels."
"Well, then," said the dying man, "I'll bet
you five dollars I will beat you flying."

ADOPTION.
Promineut amongst the privileges which
those who have been begotten from above em
joy, is adoption. In the Scriptures we have
abundant evidence both of the existence and
of the nature of this privilege. No doubl
the word adoption was chosen by the Holj
Spirit in order that the relation which the be
liever in Christ Jesus sustains to God, might
be more clearly explained. Men, in all ages
of the world, have been accustomed to adopl
strangers into their families. In the Bibb
we are taught that God does the same thing
He takes those who are aliens by nature and
estranged by all their acts, and formally and
really introduces them into his family and
treats them as his dear children.
In some respects, adoption, as it existf
amongst men, and adoption as it is described
in the Bible as practiced by God, resemble
each other; in many other particulars the)
are very dissimilar. In both the adopted are
taken into the family of the adopter and admitted
to the privileges of children. Bui
even in this they differ. Amongst men the
I privileges are few and not very great. The
privileges of those who are adopted into the
family of God are many and great. In botl
the adopted are made heirs; but amongsl
men the possession is small when compared
with the inheritance to which those who are
taken into the family of God are made recip
ients.
Amongst men it is common when the)
adopt a child into their family to give it theii
own name ; but they never can give it theii
nature. When God adopts an individual
into his family, he gives it a new name and
puts a new nature within it. It is made 8
child in nature as well as in privileges. Such
an individual is permitted to say abba father
He feels toward God as the child feels toward
its own mother.

PRACTICAL RELIGION.
The advantages of the people of the present
I day are very great. This is true with respect
to everything. Railroads, steamboats, telegraph
lines, newspapers, books and everything
which contributes to our comfort, has been
multiplied and iucreased to an almost incredible
extent during the last century. The same
is true with regard to religious advantages.
In almost every community there is a house
of public worship, and in nearly every neighborhood
there is an individual whose office is
to watch over the spiritual interest of the people.
It might be well to inquire whether
practical piety has increased to as great an
extent as the external advantages demand.
We have little doubt but a thorough investigation
would disclose the fact that whilst
knowledge has increased, the love of many
has grown cold and their acts formal. Praying
men are not as numerous now as they
once .were. It would not be hard to find a congregation
which appears to be in a flourishing
condition, that has not a dozen praying
men amongst its members. There is something
pharisaical about the religion of the
present day. A great noise is made about
things that make an appearance before the
world; but the heart is neglected. The Sabbath
school and the public prayer meeting
are suffered to engross private instruction by
the heads of families, and the daily worship
of God in the family. This state of things
ought not to be. Let everything occupy its
proper place. The Sabbath school is a good
thing, but not as good as family instruction;
public prayer by the members of a congregation
is a most valuable means of grace; but
not so good as prayer in the family by the
head of the household. Theoretical knowledge
is good, but only when reduced to prac
| tice.

OPPOSITION TO RELIGION.,
# The opposition of some men to religion is
! wonderful. It seems strange that any man
! who has the welfare of society at heart, would
I do or say anything that would in the least
thwart the progress of true religion. If it
could be demonstrated, beyond the shadow of
a doubt, that there is neither a hell in which
to punish the wicked, nor a heaven in which
the good will be blessed ; still it could be proven
that the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ
is a blessing of incomparable worth to the
human family. For more than forty centuries
the multitude of the human family lived
without the religion of the Bible. They had
ample time to devise some scheme which
would regulate man in his social and moral
acts. Amongst the heathen there were some
of the brightest intellects the world ever seen;
still, socially and morally, even these men
were nothing but degraded heathen. "Woman's
position amongst the most civilized nations
of antiquity, was little better than a
slave; and the moral practices of the best men
amongst the heathen nations were very depraved.
There is, however, no need to make
I a comparison between the old heathen and
j the followers of Jesus Christ. It is admitted
that many who profess Christianity, do many
things that are wrong; but who will dare to
say that Christianity is not a blessing socially.
Christianity makes men industrious. It
inculcates the principle that those who do not
work should not eat, and that those who do
not provide for their families are bad men.
Socially, the idler is a curse and the laboring
man a blessing. It would be no difficult task
to trace many of the social evils which exist
{?? ovorv (vunmnnit.v to idleness. Idleness
leads men to violate the seventh and eighth
precept of the moral code. The religion oi
the Bible teaches men to be chaste in thought
word and deed, and to be honest in all their
dealings. No other system of religion, that
has ever been devised, inculcates chastity.
The evils of adultery and fornication to society
are are innumerable. It converts home
j into a place of misery. Amongst thieves and
debauchees, every social relation is brutish,
The Bible also enjoins it upon men to be sober,
and sobriety is a great social blessing,
A community in which every one was a drunkard,
would be a dreadful place.
We do not say that every one who opposes
the religion of the Bible is a debauchee, a tliiel
and a drunkard. There are no doubt many
who oppose the Christian religion who are
addicted to none of these vices; but we simply
say that opposition to religion unfits men from
taking the highest social position. It would
be a difficult matter to find a man who opposes
the religion of Christ Jesus, whose social
character is without a stain. There is something
about him, it matters not what that
something may be, which prevents him from
being socially all that he might be. The
highest state of civilization amongst men can
only be attained by heartily embracing both
in theory and practice, the religon of the Bible,
j Civilization brought about in any other way
I resembles the work of a cobbler. It lacks the
i polish and finish of a master workman. Thai

J "WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS
1 A WAY."
5 It is an unsettled question whether it is better
to be born poor or rich. Poverty may be
an evil, but it is a great, if not the greatest,
r" incentive to action. The world is ruled today,
and always has been ruled, by the sons
of poor men. The sons of light and liberty
^ often can boast of no better birth place than
' a hovel. David, the king of Israel, and the
k best of poets, was a shepherd, and L'hrist de1
sus, the saviour of sinners, was born in an ox's
' stall. For the encouragement of the sons of
' poor men, we clip the following from the
Christian Observer. It is a part of a speech
delivered by the Rev. J. S. Grasty, D. D.,
before the Young Men's Christian Association
; of Washington Lee University:
"Where there is a will there is a way. In
. Oxford, England, a hundred years ago, there
. lived a boy?poor, unfriended and an orphan.
The University was near, and this active,
bright and generous lad thirsted for its love.
But directly in the way stood dire and hope1
less poverty. Can aught be done? First one
and another, the mind revolved its plans. At
last the youth decided. To a club of students,
well to do in money, he said, teach me a lesson
every day and accept instead such humble
services as I can render. The bargain
made, the pupil studied with a will, and day
by day, with blacking brush in hand paid up
for such tuition. Menial business, even for
learning's sake, shocks a ltttle mind ; but in
truth, to reach a noble goal all honest work
is honorable. At least so thought George
Whitfield, the lad of Oxford, and the mightiest
pulpit orator of the modern world.
"Nathaniel Bowditch first saw the light in
a very humble home. At ten he was deprived
of a loving mother's pious care. An indigent
father could afford the child but limited advantages.
Poverty compelled the boy to wear
his summer clothes in winter time. And to
this was added silly ridicule. When only
twelve, a shoemaker took the lad with liberty,
now and then, of slate and pencil on his
bench. The youth improved and grew in
knowledge daily, until in after days, be became
the far famed mathematician.
"Benjamin Franklin, the son of a tallow
chandler, was the youngest, but two, of seventeen
children. Having a poor father, penury
was his lot. He was taken from school at
ten and placed in the workshop. From this
position, and the advantages which it brought,
he gradually ascended to the first rank of
philosophers.
"Here then is a divine, a mathematician, a
statesman and a philosopher, who triumphed
over poverty and arose without worldy prestige
to the highest round of fame. The cases
could be multiplied almost indefinitely. Virgil's
father was a potter. Luther was the
son of a poor miner. Zuinglius' father was a
shepherd. Bunyau was the son of a tinker.
Columbus of a weaver, and John Milton of a
t?' -i i n
scrivener. -Dioomneiu, vjuuuuu, vjrmviu, j^i.
Carey, Linneus, and Roger Sherman, were
shoemakers. Cowly was the son of a grocer.
Pope of a linen draper. Collins of a hatter.
Aikenside and Henry Kirk White, of butch,
ers. Jeremy Taylor's father was a barber.
John Hunter's a carpenter. Thomas Scott's
a glazier. Opie was raised from the bottom
of a saw-pit, where he cut wood for a living,
to become in the course of tira'e, the Professor
of painting in the Royal Academy. Daniel
Defoe was almost wholly self-taught. William
Cobbett, the master of Saxon English,
began life as a farmer's boy. Isaac Chantry
was a linen draper, and Thomas Simpson for
many years an ordinary weaver. Sir Richard
Arkwright began life as a barber, and C'apt.
Cook the navigator, was wholly self-taught.
The great astronomer, Sir William Herschell,
was a fifer boy to a Hanoverian regiment,
while Chantry, when a milk boy, began his
modelings in butter. Ben. Johnson was a
bricklayer and a mason. The two Millers,
Issaac and Joseph, began life as weavers.
Dr. Prideaux was a kitchen boy, and Shakespeare
himself, the son of a father who could
not write his name, and whose cross or mark,
exists in the records of Stratford on Avon to
the present day."
It is the Lord.?One of the most touching
incidents we ever knew happened in con,
nectiou with the death of our little friend
Eddy. Eddy was a bright little fellow of
eight, beloved by all who knew him, and almost
worshipped by his parents, but God
' wished their idol, and Eddy was stricken with
1 disease. He had been a punctual and attentive
Sunday School scholar, and though very
young, had given his heart to the Saviour, and
was not afraid of death. A few moments before
he died, his mother, sitting by his bed,
noticed him hold up his hand in the air; she
1 gently put it down, but he immediately put it
11 up again; sue saiu:
* "Eddy, don't keep your hand up in that
; way, it will tire you."
The little fellow replied : "I can't help it,
. ma. Some one has hold of it." His mother,
with a choking, trembling voice, asked him,
' "Who had hold of his hand ?" and he, look"
ing up with arm still outstretched, murmur>
ed, "Wait; I'll tell you." And after a few
[ moments, as if he had been listening, he sweetly
said, with his face beaming with joy and
glowing with angelic brightness, "It is the
Lord"?his hand fell, and God took the little
' darling to himself.
Fretting.?Two gardeners had their crops
i j of peas killed by the frost, one of whom, who
f had fretted greatly and grumbled at the loss,
r visiting his neighbor some time after, was astonished
to see another fine crop growing, and
I inquired how it could be.
"These are what I sowed while you were
i fretting," was the reply.
II "Why don't you fret?"
| "Yes, but I put it off till I have repaired
[ | the mischief."
. I "Why, then there's no need to fret at all."
; I "True; that's the reason I put it off."

From the Rural Carolinian.
IS THE SOUTH ASTOCK COUNTRY i
The hurly burly, topsy turvy method the
Southern people have of doing almost every 1
thing, unfits them lor raising stock, even
though their country were well adapted to -1
this branch of agriculture. There is a rou-1j
tine through which we go in planting, cultiI
vating and harvesting a cotton and corj^crop,
i aud in scratching in and cradling a small
| grain crop, that must appear farcical to expei
rienced agriculturists from older aud more 1
thickly settled countries. Everything else
on the plantation must be subservient to thfr?:
routine, and every moment of atteutionjjaid 1
to the patient animals that do not draw the
plough is generally considered an interruption
that causes loss. To feed a milch cow is a
sort of contract usually?I'll feed you, and i
you pay me back in milk. But to house and
feed dry cattle is a profitless luxury that interferes
too much with the thought-to-be ue- !
cessary duties of the plantation. To build a '
common cow shed is always a trouble and 1
! expense, but to erect a gin house costing as j
much as the owner's dwelling is a thing of;
course, and, therefore, involves neither ex*
pense nor trouble. How common all over
the West are three-story gin houses, and yet
how uncommon are even ordinary shelters,!
under which cattle may be protected from !
wintry winds and rains!
Wedded to the fleecy king, impoverished |
by the war, and worse than bankrupt from
bad management and bad farming, this generation
of Southern planters will furnish hut '
isolated examples of successful stock
Perhaps it is well that this is so, for thefeot^
version of any large portion of the South'*
from cotton planting to stock raising would :
introduce cares and troubles that would be
disastrous to those engaged in this new ei4ar?_
prise.
The normal condition of almost all animals
seems to be a state of perfect health. But 1
their subjection to that treatment which man,
and not nature, conceives to be the most suitable,
superinduces diseases, which in the form
of epidemics, often destroy in a few weeks
the anticipated annual income of the owner.
Where just enough cattle are raised to supply
the home demand, disease should be unknown.
True, the "hollow horn," which nine cases in
ten means hollow belly, occasionally raake$. ;
the milk "mauma" insist upon the application
of the gimlet; this done, a genuine sympathy
is aroused, a little more food is given, kind !
treatment administered, and presently "Suky" 1
is herself again. r
The irregular feeding and general improp.
. *,1 L 11
i er ireairaem 10 which ouutuuru uuitie me suujected,
will cause fever, or produce spasms 1
and fatal cholic; and their inhuman exposure
sometimes results in incurable glandular af- '
fections. But when properly cared for, Southern
cattle seem to be of all animals the most
hardy. At certain seasons of the year they^
are infested with lice or ticks; but these may
be easily removed by rubbing the spine, should
ders and flanks with kerosene oil. I recommended
this treatment once to a farmer, who
owned a thin cow covered with vermin. He
literally washed her in kerosene, and she died
in twenty-four hours. For many years I gave
weekly lickings of salt, sulphur and meal.
The kerosene is more efficient and less trouble.
An ointment made of lard and a decoction of
tobacco, applied as the kerosene, will effect
the same end. Sometimes a cow "loses her
end," and is unable to ruminate. I have relieved
them by giving an artificial bolus of
meal and alum-water. This astringent seems "
to cause a natural contraction of the muscles
of the lower end of the throat, (esophagus,)
and soon healthy action is restored. For chol- ic
or spasms from over-eating, a drench of
equal parts of whisky, melted lard and salt
water, or an injection of castor oil, and, in
stubborn cases, of tobacco juice, are effective*
cures. As mentioned in a previous article, fa
have known surgical operations to be perform^ f
ed by making an incision through the loiu be^
tween the hip and rib into the paunch, and its
contents mechanically extracted.. This is a
remedy to which I have never resorted.
I think it questionable whether Murrain,
Redwater or Blackwater, or any other of
these terrible epidemics which are sometimes
so destructive in stock countries, ever have
prevailed amongst Southern cattle. Strange
to say, herds of splendid cattle, driven from
Texas to the Northern States, are often attacked
by these diseases, or something worse,
while in transitu. And the most serious con- '
sequence of such an attack is, that it is often (
communicated to the stock of the country j
through which these droves pass, by their '
drinking, within twenty-four hours, from the (
branches through which these infected cattle j
have waded. But as this disease never attacks
the herd until they have been subjected to the
rough treatment incident to driving, herding
and railroad transportation, it cannot be said
to be indigenous to them. So common are
these epidemical attacks, that some of the
North-western States have laws preventing
the passage of Texas cattle through their
confines, except at certain seasons of the year,
and then within so many hours.
This latter idea, for the sake of humanity,
should be incorporated in laws regulating the
transportation of stock through every State
in the Union. No car load of cattle was ever
transported one hundred miles without unnecessary
discomfort and suffering to the poor
brutes. It has always been a matter of surprise
to me why railroad corporations that
keep regular stock cars, do not have them
finished with hay racks and watering troughs
for the comfort of the stock. They could be
fed and watered when first shipped, and the
sight of food and water would calm their excitement
sufficiently to prevent that gaunt appearance
they usually present at their journey's
end.
Occasional perfect auiet is absolutely necessary
for the healthfulness of all ruminating
animals. Unless the cow is privileged to
"chew her cud" in peace, she will not thrive,
and yet how few of our milk-maids or stockminders
comprehend the rationale of this mechanical
operation! Not to be technical, the
cow has four stomachs: into her first, or
paunch, she swallows the unmasticated food
simply prepared for deglutition by being be;
smeared with saliva; liquid food is swallowed
immediately into the second stomach ; by the
action of these two stomachs maceration is
produced, where, by a sort of belching effort,
a mouthful of food is thrown up into thejaws
to be masticated thoroughly and swallowed
again, now going into the third stomach, us
ually known as the "manifoldsfrom this,
the still further macerated food is ejected and
passes into the fourth ana last storaacn ior .
complete digestion. This fourth stomach, in '
young ruminating animals, is usually known
as "runnet," and is used in coagulating milk !
to make cheese. It is evident this complica- 1
ted digestion cannot be effected properly with- {
out a certain degree of rest and quiet, not ne- !
cessary to other animals. '
This same quiet and rest, gentle and kind J
treatment is necessary to insure the heaviest !
secretion of pure and rich milk. Cows that 1
are kept excited and shy from ill treatment,
will never fully develop their milking quali- '
ties; hence, the same cow, in the hands of 1
two different persons, may prove herself to
the one a copious and to the other a scant !
milker. The operation of milking should }
always be done gently, but quickly, and as !
long as a drop of milk can be drawn from the [1
udder, the cow should be milked. The last |'
milk, usually known as the "strippings" is alW
ways the richest. The practice of leaving j ]
one teat for the calf is unwise. Better allow |
the calf to tug at an empty udder, which na- j1
ture prompts it to do, and then feed it, rather [ j
than lose one-fourth or less of the cow's milk.
In stock countries, the calf of a few days ;1
old, is often taken from the mother, and thus
the cow may be kept milking for years. This I
idea should be utilized by our village and 1
city readers. D. Wyatt Aiken.

A SLACK HUSBAND PUNISHED. ; *<
"Mr. Moncton," said my grandmother, "I i
have no wood to burn to-day. What shall I [
do?" > .If
"Oh 1 send Louisa to pick some," said the ; 1
good man, making a stride toward the door, j ^
"But she has picked up all she cau find." i
"Then let her break up some old stuff." j ?
"But she has broken up every thing al- !s
ready." j \
"Oh ! well then, do the next best thing?I
must be off," said the farmer, and off he was, 11
whistling as he went, and no doubt wondering a
in his heart what the next best thing would n
turn out to be. e
Noon came, and with it came my grand- ^
father and four hungry laborers. My grand- v
mother stood in the kitchen spinning on her 0
great wheel and singing a pleasant ditty;
Louisa was scouring in the back room, and ,
the old cat sat purring on the hearth before 1
a black and fireless chimney, while the table j
sat in the middle of the room, snread for din- I a
ner with empty dishes.
"Well, wife, here we are," said my grandfather,
cheeringly.
"So I see," replied she, placidly; "have Q
you had a good morning in the cornfield?" j
"Why, yes, so-so; but whereis the dinner?" ^
. "In the pot 011 the door-step. Won't you t
see if it is done?" Q
, And on the door-step, to be sure, sat the ^
great iron pot, nicely covered, but not look- g.
injg particularly steamy. My grandfather y
raised the cover, and there lay the ingredients ^
of a nice boiled dinner?every thing prepar- t
adj^tho nicest manner, and the pot filled
^ptthe clearest of water, and all the veget- n
Jibles as raw as they ever were. My grand- j
father stared, and my grandmother joined
auother roll to the yarn upon the distaff, and ^
b^gan another verse of her song. j
"Why, woman, what does this mean ?" he- 0
gan my grandfather, indignantly. "This r
dinner isn't cooked at alll" c
^ "Dear me, is it not? Why, it has sat in n
the sun these four hours." j
"Sat in the sun 1" a
"Yes, you told me to try the next best
thing to having a fire, and I thought setting a
my dinner in the sun was about that." j
My grandfather stood doubtful for a iuo- q
ment, but finally his sense of humor overcame ^
his sense of injury, and he laughed aloud. a
Then picking up his hat, he said:
"Conde, boys, we may as well start for the gj
woods. We shall have 110 dinner till we earn n
it, I perceive." p
"Won't you have some bread and cheese 0
before you go ?" asked my grandmother, gen- ^
srous in her victory, as women almost always C(
are. And so she won the day. t(
The cellar stairs in the old farm house had ^
become broken and so unsafe that my grand- tj
mother besieged her husband, early and late, ^
to repair them, lest some accident should hap- w
gen. He always promised to do so, and alforgot
to fulfill his promises. At last,
)ne day, my grandmother fell in going down,
._j : 11 - j ii :ii. _i. :
tuu spuieu luu iuiiKBim was uunjiug.
"Are you hurt?" asked my grandfather, J
iraoking his pipe beside the fire.
"No matter whether I am or not," returned ^
;he angry housewife, reappearing with her j.j
rnapty pan. "That's the last time I carry ^
nilk down those stairs until they are mended." tj
"Please yourself and try the next best way ^
;o getitdown," said the husband, a little vexed
it her tone.
"I will," said my grandmother, and she was ^
is good as her word. The next evening my
grandfather went down to the cellar to draw ^
some cider. e.
"What in thunder!" exclaimed he?noth- tj
ng worse, I assure you, for' he was not a pro- ^
lane man?"what in thunder is the matter ^
lownhere? Why, woman, your milk is all
>ver the cellar bottom !"
tit?" replied my grandmother, tranquilly. u
1,1 think.that is likely enough falling so a
alliijg so far! What do you mean ?" ^
"Why, you know I said I shouldn't carry w
,he milk over those broken stairs again ; and ^.(
fou told me to try the next best way of get- ^
ing it down ; and so I took up a board in the fcj
ritchen floor, and threw down the pans, and ^
hen strained the milk down into them."
The cellar stairs were mended the next ^
lay. *.
WILL HE SUCCEED ?
In uine cases out of ten no man's life will w
3e a success if he does not bear burdens in ^
ihildhood. If the fondness or the vanity of 0
father or mother have kept him from hard la- g(
Dor; if another always helped him out of the
md of the row; if, instead of taking his turn
it pitching off, he mowed away all the time? f
in short, if what was light always foil to him, t]
md what was heavy about the same work to t]
some one else; if he had been permitted to ^
mirk^till shirking had become a habit?uu- tj
less a miracle is wrought, his life will be a v
failure, and the blame will not be half so j
auchhis as that of weak, foolish parents.
On the other part, if a boy has been brought j(
up to do his part, never allowed to shirk any
legitimate responsibility, or to dodge work,
whether or not it made his heart ache or his ^
hands black?until bearing heavy becomes a ^
fhft Kooinr nnrl nf flin Tirnnr?
v/l pliu^i UIC Al^UT J WiU Vi UliU UVUU
tiis ffora choice?parents, as they bid him ^
*ood-bye may dismiss their fears. His life
will not be a business failure. The elements j
if success are his, and at some time and in ^
some way the world will recognize his capacity, jj
Take another point. Money is the object j
if the world's pursuit. It gives bread and
clothing and homes and comfort. The world ~
has not judged wholly unwisely when it has
nade the position a man occupies to hinge
comparatively more or less on his ability to
cam money, and somewhat on the amount of 0
lis possessions. If he is miserably poor, it ?
irgues some defect in his expenditures, or a g
iack~w??tness to cope with men in the battle T
for gold. T
When a country boy leaves home it is generally
to enter upon some business, the end of ?
which is to acquire property; and he will succeed
just in proportion as he has been made
a earn and save in his childhood. p,
If all the money he has had comes of plant- P
ng a little p^tch in the spring, and selling its ^
weary months of watching and n
x)il, in the fall?or from killing woodchucks
it six cents a head?or from trapping musk- ^
ats and selling their skins for a shilling?
jetting snares in the fall for game, and walk- w
ng miles in the morning before the old folks e1
ire up?husking corn for a neighbor, on moon- a<
light airenings, at two cents a bushel?work- as
fog out an occasional day that hard work at ai
iome has made possible?he is good to make 8(
lis pile in the world. ft
On the contrary, if a boy never earned a e.<
lollar?if parents and friends had always ?
kept him in spending money?pennies to Duy
mndies and fish-hooks, and to satisfy his ira- ~
lginative way?and he had grown to manhood I
n the expectancy that the world will generally
treat him with similar consideration, he
ivill always be a make-shift. And the fault
is not so much his as that of those about him,
who never made the boy depend on himself?
lid not make him wait six months to get
mon^y to replace a lost jack-knife.
Evfcry'one has to rough it at one time or
mother. If the roughing comes in boyhood
it does good ; if later, when habits are formed, j
it is equally tough, but, not being educational,
is generally useless. And the question whether
a young man will succeed in making monjy
or not depends not upon where he goes, nor
what he does, but upon his willingness to do J
his pifrt,' and upon his having earned money, j
md so gained a knowledge of its worth. Not'
i little of his valuable experience the country i N
3oy gets on the old farm, under the tutelage
)f parents shrewd enough tu see the end from
;he beginning, and to make the labor and tc
jrief of children contribute to the success of *ji
lubsequent life.

Plea for Those who Sleep in the Mor- j 01
MING.?The fact is, as life becomes more con-1 w
;entrated and its pursuits more eager, short I
leep and early rising become impossible. We
ake more sleep than our ancestors and we
rant more. Six hours' sleep will do very well i
ir a plowman or a bricklayer, or any man j
riio has no other exhaustion than that prouced
by manual labor, and the sooner he
akes it after his work is over, the better. But
or a man whose labor is mental, the stress of
rhose work is on the brain and nervous sysem,
and is tired in the evening, with mental
pplication, neither early to bed or early to rise
3 wholesome. He needs letting down to the
ivel of repose. The longer the interval beween
the active use of the brain and its retire- j
lent to bed, the better the chance of his sleep |
nd retirement. To him an hour after mid- j
ight is probably as good as two before it, and !
veu then his sleep will not so completely and
uickly restore him as it will his neighbor
rho is only physically tired. He must not
nly go to bed later, but lie longer. His best;
leep lies in the early morning hours, when all
lie nervous excitement has passed away, and ,
e is in absolute rest.
? ? ?
Great Men in Hours of Leisure.? j
lombre manners do not always prove the
tatesraan. The greatest men I ever knew
/ere plain of speech and plain of dress. Even
hose who could not tell a good story relished
ne from others. The clearest logician in the
ays of Jackson and Van Bureu was Silas
Vright, who was strangely modest and unobrusive.
Henry Clay, haughty and imperius
as he often was, delighted in anecdote.
?he unequaled Webster was too wise and senible
not to enjoy humor. John C. Calhoun
/as almost childlike in his ways. William
Virt was ambitious, and literally reveled in
he flowers of literature. John Quiucy Adms
was too thorough a master of diplomacy
iot to know the value of wit. No man uow
iving, either at home or abroad, more keenly
njoys music, painting, and poetry, and talks
icttcr about them, than Charles Sumner,
lis tastes are refined, his hospitalities generus,
and his plate, pictures and engravings
are; and he could pronounce as learned adisourse
upon art as upon politics. There are
ot many wits in Congress at the present day.
f you exclude Nye, of Nevada, in the Senate,
nd Proctor Knott of Kentucky, in the House,
ou will, perhaps sigh for such old-time men
s James Thompson, of Pennsylvania, and
ack Ogle of the same State; Mike Walsh,
f New York ; Felix Grundy McCounell, of
ilabama ; William H. Polk?,of Tennessee,
nd Sergeant S. Prentiss, of Mississippi. All
iese are dead but Thompson, who now preides
over the Supreme Court of Pennsylvaia,
enjoying the confidence of men of all
arties. It used to be a saying that the laugh
f James Thompson, of Pennsylvania, was
le most infectious laugh in the House. He
Duld not sing but he was a capital story
filer; and, to-day, when he unbends his juicial
dignity, he can bring bgc^ha^jpn of
le past more vividly than anytyHUr ifa?l
now, except, perhaps, Senatajflpi&uifMn,
hose memory is surprisingly tenroiotjs.

How to See Down a Well.?It is not
enerallv known, savs the Lancaster fPenn.)
ntelligencer, how easy a matter it is to exlore
the bottom of a well, cistern or pond of
ater, by the use of a common mirror. When
le sun is shining brightly, hold a mirror so
lat the reflected rays of light will fall into
le water. A bright spot will be seen at the
ottom, so light as to show the smallest object
lainly. By this means we have examined
le bottoms of wells fifty feet deep, when half
ill or more of water. The smallest bit of
;raw or other object can be perfectly seen
ora the surface. In the same way one can
xamine the bottoms of ponds and rivers, if
le waters be somewhat clear and not agitated
y winds or rapid motion. If a well or cisirn
be under cover, or shaded by a building
) that the sunlight will not fall near the openig,
it is only necessary to use two mirrors,
sing one to reflect the light to the opening,
nd the other to reflect it down into the water.'
iight may be thrown fifty or a hundred yards
) the precise spot desirable, and then downard.
We have used the mirror with success
) reflect light around a house to a shaded
ell, and also to carry it from a south window
irough two rooms and then to a cistern uner
the north side of the house. Half a dozn
reflections of light may be made, though
ach mirror diminishes the brilliancy of the
ght. Let any one not familiar with the
lethod, try it, and he will not only find it
seful, but a very pleasant experiment. It
'ill perhaps reveal a mass of sediment at the
ottom of the well that has been little thought
f, but which may have been a frightful
Durce of disease by its decay in the water.
Idle Girls.?It is a painful spectacle, in
imilies where the mother is the drudge, to see
he daughters elegantly dressed, reclining at
heir ease, with their drawing, their music,
heir fancy work, and their reading, beguiling
hemselves of the lapse of hours, days and
reeks; and never dreaming of their responibilities,
but, as a necessary consequence of
eglect of duty, growing weary of their use?8s
lives, laying hold of every newly^nvented
timulant to rouse their drooping energies,
ud blaming their fate when they dare not
lame their God for having placed them where
hey are. These individuals will often tell
ou, with an air of affected compassion, for
'ho can believe it real, that poor, dear raainla
is working herself to death ; yet no sooner
0 you propose that they should assist her
.ran they declare she is quite in her element,
1 short, that she would never be happy if she
