It is the duty of mothers to sustain the reverses of fortune. Frequent and sud? den as they have been in our own coun? try, it is important that young females should possess some employment, by which they might obtain a livelihood in case they should be reduced to tho neces? sity of supporting themselves. "When families are unexpectedly reduced from affluence to poverty, how pitiful, con? temptible it is to Bee tho mother despond? ing or helpless, and permitting herdaugh ters to embarrass those whom it is their duty to assist and cheer. "I have lost my whole fortune," said a morchant, as he returned ono ovening to his home; wo can no longer keep our car? riage. "We must leave this largo house. The children can no longer go to expen? sive schools. Yesterday I was a rich man; to-day there is nothing that I can call my own." "Dear husband," said the wife, "we are still rich in each other and our children. Money may pass away, but God has giv? en us better treasures in those active hands and loving hearts." "Dear fathor," said tho children, "do not look so sober. Wo will help you to get a living." "What can you do, poor things?" said ho. "You shall seo, you shall see," answer? ed several voices. "It is a pity if we have been to icbool for nothing. How oan the father of eight children be poor ? We shall work and mako you rich again." "I shall help," said the younger girl, hardly four years old, "I shall not have any new things bought, and I shall sell my great doll." The heart of the husband and father which had sank within his bosom like a stono, was liftod up. Tho sweet enthusi? asm of the scene cheerod him, and his nightly prayer was liko a song of praise. They loft their stately house. The ser? vants were dismissed. Pictures and plate, rich carpets and furniture, were sold, and sho who had boon mistross of the man? sion shed no tears. "Pay every debt," says she; "let no one suffer through us, and we may be happy." Ho rented a neat oottagc, and a small piece of ground, a few miles from the city. With the aid of his sons, he culti? vated vegetables for the market. He viewed with delight and astonishment J the economy of his wife, nurtured as sho had boen in wealth, and tho efficiency his daughters soon acquired under her train? ing. Tho oldest ono instructed in tho house? hold, and also assisted tho younger chil? dren; bosidos, they executed various works, which they had learnod as accom? plishments, but which they found could be disposed of to advantage. Thoy em? broidered with taste some of the orna? mental parts of female apparel, which woro readily sold to a morchant in the city. They cultivated flowers, sent boquots to market in the cart that conveyed the vegetables; thoy plaited straw, they painted maps, they oxocutod plain needlo work. Every ono was at her post, choer ! ful and busy. Tho little cottago was liko i a bee hive. "I never onjoyod such health before," said tho father. I "And I nover was bo happy beforo," said tho mother. "We never know how many things we could do, when we livod in tho great house," said the children; "and we love each othor a great deal hotter hero. You call us your little bees." "Yes," replied the fathor, "and you make just such honey as tho heart likos to feed on." Economy as well as industry was strict? ly observed. Nothing was wasted; noth? ing unnecessary was purchasod. Tho eldest daughter became assistant teacher in a distinguished femalo seminary, and tho second took her place as instructress to tho family. The dwolling which they had always kept noat, thoy woro soon able to beauti? fy. Its construction was impovod, and tho vines and flowering trees woro re plan tod around it. Tho morchant was happier under his woodbine covered ! porch, in a summer's evening, than ho had beon in his showy dressing room, f "Wo are now thriving and prosperous," said he, "shall we return to the city ?" "Oh, no!" was the unanimous reply. "Let us remain," said tho wife, "where we have found health and contentment." "Fathor," said tho youngost, "all we children hope you are not going to bo rich again; for then," sho added, "wo lit tlo ones are shut up in tho nursery, and did not see much of you or mother. Now wo all livo together, and sister, who loves us, toaches us, and wo learn to bo indus? trious and useful. Wo wore none of us happy when wo woro rich and did not work. So, pleaso, do not bo a rich man any more." -o ? The Nation?a radical paper of tho deepest dye?says that, judging from the charge delivered by Judge Underwood to the Grand Jury in Bichmond the other day?a violent, unbecoming harangue? the trial of Jefferson Davis, if it took place before him, would neither shed much light on tho law of treason nor have much moral weight with tho public. Mistakes About Each Other. Not one man in ten thousand sees those with whom he associates as they really are. If tho prayer of Burns was grant? ed, and we could all see ourselves as oth? ers see us, our solf-estimales would, in all probability, be much moro erroneous than they are at present. The truth is, that we regard each other through a variety of senses, no one of which is correct. Passion and prejudice, love and hate, bonovolence and envy, I spectacle our eyes, and utterly prevent I us from observing accurately, j Many of those we deom the porcelain of human clay are mere dust; and still a greater number of those we put down in our black books arc no furthor off from Heaven, and perchance a little nearer, than the censors who condemn them. We habitually undervalue each other; and estimating character, the shrewdest of us but now and then]make the true ap? praisal of the virtues and defects of oven our closost intimates. It is neither just nor fair to look at character from a stand point of one's own selections. A man's profile may bo un? prepossessing, and yet one of tho kindest and best friends in the world. Wo once saw a young man whoso timidity was a standing joke with all his companions, loap into the river and save a boy from drowning, while his tormen? tors stood panic stricken upon tho bank. The merchant who gives curt answers in a counting room, may be a tender husband and father, and kind helper of the deso? late and oppressed. On the other hand, your good humored person, who is all smiles and sunshine in public, may carry something as hard as the nether millstone in the place where his hoart ought to bo. Such anomalies are common. There is this comfort, however, for those whose judgments for their fellow-mortals lean to tho kindly side, such mistakes go to their credit in the groat account. Ho who thinks better of his neighbors than thoy deserve, cannot bo a bad man. for the standard by which his judgment is formed is the goodness of his own heart. It is tho base only who believe all men base, or in other words, like them selvos. Few, however, are all evil. Even Nero did a good turn to somebody; for, when Rome was rejoicing over his death, some loving hand covered his grave with flowers. Public men are seldom or never fairly judged,* at least while living. However pure, they cannot escape calumny, how over incorrect they are sure to find oulo gists. History may do them justice; but they rarely get it whilo alivo, either from friends or foes. -<s> ? The editor of the La Crosse (Wis.) Democrat proposes tho following amend? ment to the Constitution, for the benefit of Butler and his co-laborers : Art. CXXXIV. That no State shall be admitted to representation in Con? gress until, by a provision embodied in its fundamental law, it pledgos its citi? zens nevor to claim restoration of pianos, watches, finger rings, spoons, silk dresses, books, pitohers, sideboards, wines, liquors, carriages and other portable property, which may, at any time, under pressure of military necessity, have boon trans? ferred, shipped, removed or carried away from their residences, cellars, outhouses, grounds, or stables, and delivered into tho care and keeping of loyal cit.zens of New England and other "loyal" sections of the North, and all persons claiming or assert? ing titlo to any such portable property so j removed, shall bo excluded from the basis of representation, and be forever disquali? fied from holding any office of trust or profit under tho Stato or gonoral govern? ment. -* ? At tho first battle of Frodericksburg, Kershaw's South Carolina Brigade was ordered to reinforce tho troops at the wall, and had to cross the terrific hill. An officer went forward to select the safest routo for them. Ho redo to the summit, and took a deliberate survey. The firing of the onomy ceased. He raised his cap in acknowledgment, with? out having a shot fired at him. That officer was Gen. J. B. Kersh*w himself. Was tho cessation of the fire accidental, i or was it a compliment of the bravo to the brave? Who can tell? But in that conspicuous position, he could not have remained alivo a single instant had the firing continued.?Land We Love. -^ ? Garters with diamond buckles are worn with the new hoops of Paris.?Ex.

The arsenic used in enameling the collars, according to tho opinion of the physicians, was absorbed into tho system and pro? duced painful local inflammations, resem? bling boils or carbunclos. 9 The Seal Masonic Grip. Major James Ganson, of Lo Eoy, N. Y., though a small man, had the most powerful grip of hand of any man I over know. His hand was like a smith's vice whenever ho choso to exert his strength. It was one night in the hight of the anti-Masonic excitement of 1836-7-8 that a silly "anti," by the name of Smith, came into Le Koy and sought out the Major saying that ho had heard that he, the Major, could give - the real Master Mason's grip, and that he had come over eighty miles on foot to obtain it. The meeting took place in tho bar-room of the village tavorn where, as usual, many per? sons were congregated, who, knowing the strength of the Major's grip, were on the lookout for fun. Having, according to the custom of those days, first taken a drink, the Major extended his right hand and slightly griped that of Smith. "Are you ready," asked the Major. "All ready," replied Smith. Tho Major, steadily looking Smith in the eye, began to tighten his grip. Smith grew uneasy, and began to wince. Tighter and tighter grew tho Major's grip, and Smith began to bog to be let off. "Why, this is only the Entered Appren? tice grip," said the Major; "I will now give you tho Follow-Craft;" and the Major gave his hand-vice sovoral more turns, which caused much groaning and many ludicrous contortions on tho part of Smith, who lustily begged to be lot off, said he was satisfied and did not want any more grips. The Major, howevor, was inexorable, and etill held on to Smith all the time, shaking his hand, and every shake causing a groan. "Now," said the Major, "having come a long way to get the real Mastor-Mason's grip, and one that you will not soon for? get;" at the same time oxerting to his utmost his great muscular powors, causing the bones of Smith's hand to crack, and the blood to start from under his finger nails?Smith in tho meanwhile, bellowing with pain. "Go homo," said the Major, "and tell all your anti-Masonic friends that if any of them want the Master-Ma? son's grip to come to me, for I flatter my? self that I can give it as well as any otller man." The Major gavo one more turn of the vice and then released his victim. Tho next day Smith, with his hand done up in a poultice, started for home, ontirely satisfied with the Masonic information he had so painfully obtainod?a wiser, if not a better man. - An individual from tho country, stopping at a hotel in the city, was of ferod a cigar by ono of the boarders with whom he was conversing, which he ac? cepted. The boarder then passed him the ono he was smoking for the purpose of giving a light. Ho carefully placed the one first handed to him in his pocket, and cutting off the end of tho lighted one that had been in the mouth of his gener? ous friend, commenced smoking, saying as ho did so. "It ain't often that a man from the country runs afoul of so clover a fellow in tho city as you are." ? Manly courago, fortitudo and self donial will triumph over the greatost ills. Tho storm will soon blow over and the sun of prosperity again blazo in tho heavens with cheerful effulgence; and then those who have held out with in domitablo firmness will bo prepared to reap tho advantages of tho new order of things. A stout heart will keep tho body vigorous, the health good, and chase away the blues : whilo despondency will wreck not only fortune, but mind and body also. ? Tho Columbus (Miss.) Sentinel says : Memphis boasts of having a dog that weighs over one hundred and eighty pounds, and "challenges competition." We don't remember the exact "heft" of Thad. Stovcns, but think ho is a little ahead of the Memphis pup; but if he lacks anything in weight, ho more than makes it up in other canino characteris? tics requisite to enable him to compote with tho Memphis dog, or any other "cur of low degree." Tho following, from tho Circlevillo (Ohio) Democrat, is not bad : Farson Brownlow says he would not start for Heaven with tho Democratic party. Very truo. Tho old whelp is too far on tho direct road to hell?in fact, he is so near thero that tho little devils have stopped sifting brimstone to look out of tho window as thoy see him coming down the homo stretch?neck and neck with Bon. Butler and Thad. Stevens. ? A bachelor in Pittsburg, Pa., picked up a thimble. Ho stood awhile modita ting on tho probablo beauty of its owner, when he pressed it to his lips, saying, 'Oh, that it wero tho cheek of tho wear? er !" Just as he had finished, a fat darkey looked out oi an uppor story window, and said: "Boss, jist ploaso to frow dat fim blo ob mino in do entry; I jist nowdrapt it." ?
