A Touching and Beautiful Story for Mothers iT^\v ^MdVC^dreiu .-.-*> During the whole of ouu of last summer's hottest days I had the good fortune to be seated in ? railway car near a mother and four chil? dren, whose relations with each other were so beautiful that the- pleasure of watching them * was quite enough to make one forget the die .comlbrts of the journey. It was plain that they were poor; their J clothes, .were coarse and old, and had been made by inexperienced hands. The mother's -bonnet alone would have been enough to have condemned the whole party on any of the world's thoroughfares. I remember afterward, *tilh shame, that I myself had smiled at the first sight of its antiquated ugliness, but her face was one which it gave you a sense of rest to look upon?it was'so earnest, tender, true and strong. It had little comeliness of shape or .color-in it, it was.thin and pale; she was not ,youug; she had worked hard; she bad been evidently much ill; but I have seen few faces which gave me such pleasuire. I think she was the wife of a poor clergyman, and I think that clergyman most be one of the Lord's best watchman of souls.' Hie children?two boys and two girls?were all under the age of twelve, and the youngest could not speak plainly. They had had a rare treat; they had been vis king the.mountains, and they were all talking ever all the*wonders they had seen with a glow of enthusiastic delight which was to be envied. Only a word-for-word record would do justice to their conversation; no description could give any idea of it, so free, so pleasant, so genial, no interruptions, no contradictions, and the mother's part borne all the while with such equal interest and eagerness that no one not seeing her face would dream that she was any other than an elder sister. In the course of | the day there were many occasions when it was necessary for her to deny requests, and to ask services, especially from the eldest boy; but no Joirrig girl, anxious to please a lover, could are done either with a more tender courtesy. She had her reward; for no lover could have been more tender and mauly than this boy of J twelve. Their lunch was simple and scanty, but it bad the grace of a royal banquet. At the last, the mother produced with much glee three apples and an orange, of which the chil? dren had not known. All eyes fastened on the orange. It was evidently a great rarity. I watched to see if this test would bring out sel? fishness. There was a little silence, just the shade of a cloud. The mother said, "How shall I divide this? There is one for each of I you, and I shall be best off of all, for I expect big tastes from each of you." "Oh, give Annie the orange. Annie loves oranges," spoke out the oldest boy, with a sud? den air of a conqueror, and at the same time taking the smallest and worst apple himself. "Oh, yes, let Annie have the orange," echoed the second boy, nine years old. * "Yes, Annie may have the orange, because tbat is nicer than the apple, and she is a lady, and her brothers are gentlemen," said the mother quietly. Then there was a merry con? test as to who should feed the mother with largest and most frequent moutbfuls, and so the feast went on. Then Annie pretended to want apple, and exchanged thin golden strips of orange for bites out of the cheeks of Bald? win's ; and, as I set watching her intently, she suddenly fancied she saw longing in my face, and- sprat g over to me, holding out a quarter of | her ? orange, and saying, "Don't you want a taste, too 7" The mother smiled, understand ingly, when I said, "No, I thauk you, you dear, generous, little girl; I don't care about oranges." At noon we had a tedious interval of waiting at a dreary station. We sat for two hours on a narrow platform, which-the sun had scorched till it smelt of heat. The oldest boy?the lit? tle lover?held tbe youngest child, and talked to her, while the tired mother closed her eyes aud rested. Now and then he looked over at her, and then back at the baby, and at bst he said confidentially to me (for we had become fast friends by this time,) "Isn't it funny, to think that I was ever so small as this baby ? And papa says that then mama was almost a little girl herself." The two other children were toiling up and . down the banks of the railroad track, picking ?x-eyed daisies, buttercups and sorrel. They worked like beavers, and soon the bunches were almost too big for their little hands. Then they came running to give them to their mother. "Oh, dear," thonght I, "how that poor, tired woman will hate to open her eyes, and she nev? er can take those great bunches of commos, fading flowers, in addition to all her bundles and bags." 1 was mistaken. **Oh, I thank you, my darlings! How kind you are! Poor, hot, tired little flowers, how thirsty they look ! If they will only try and keep alive till we get home, we will make them very happy in some water?won't we ? And you shall put one bunch by papa's plate, and one by mine." Sweet and happy, the weary and flushed lit? tle children stood looking up iu her face while she talked, her heart thrilling with compassion for the drooping flowers, and with delight in the giving of their gift. Then she took great trouble to get a string and tie op the flowers, and then the train came,and we were whirling along again. Soon it grew dark, and little Ahme's head nodded. Then I heard the mother say to the oldest boy, "Dear, are you > too tired to let little Annie put her head on your shoulder and take a nap ? We shall get her home in much better csse to see her papa if we c:.n manage to give her a little sleep." How many boys of twelve hear such words as these from tired, overburdened mothers? Soon came the city, the hi al station, with its bustle and noise. I lingered to watch my hap? py famhly, hoping to see the father. "Why, papa isn't here !"* exclaimed one disappointed little voice after auotber. "Never mind," said the mother, with a still deeper disappointment in htr own tone, "per? haps he baa to go to see some poor body who is sick/' In tfw hurry of piciiDg up ail the parceis, anc the sleepy babies, the poor daisies and the br.ttercups were left forgotten in a corner of the rack. I wondered if the mother had not intunded this. May I be forgiven for the injustice I A few minutes after I passed the little gnup, standing still just outside the station, and heard the mother say, "Oh, my darlings, I liave forgotteu your pretty boquets. I am so sorry I I wonder if I could find them if I went bs ck. Will you all stand still and not stir from this spot if I do V "Oh, mama, don't go, don't go. We will get you some more. Don't go, cried all the children. "Here aro your flowers, madam," said I, "I saw that yo a had forgotten them, and I took them as mementoes oi you and your sweet chil? dren." Shn blushed and ooked disconcerted. She was evidently unused to the people, and shy with all but her children. However, she thanked me sweetly, and said: "I was very sorry about them. The children took euch trouble to get them, and I think they will revive in water. They cannot be quite dead." "They will never die I" said I, with an em ?basis whim went from my heart to hers, 'hen all the shyness fled. She knew me, and we shook hmds and smiled into each other's eyes with the smile of kindred as we parted. As I followed on, I heard the two children, who were ualking behind, aay to -each other, "Wouldn't that have been too bad? Mama liked them so much, and we never could have got so man" all at once again." "Yes, we could next summer," said the boy, sturdily. They ar* sure of their "next summer," I think, all six of those soals?children and mother, an 3 father. They may never again gather so a any ox-eyed daisies and buttercups "all at onct." Perhaps some of the little hands have already picked their last flowers. Never? theless, their summers are certain. To stich souls as these, all trees, either here or in God's larger country, are Trees of Life, with twelve manner of fruits and leaves for healing, and it is but little change from the summers here, whose suns burn and make weary, to the sum? mers there, of which "the Lamb is the light." Heaven bless them all, wherever they are. The Air We Breathe at Night. We have all heard of the Black Hole at Cal? cutta. It was a room eighteen feet square. In this room'one hundred and forty-six persons were confin id. It bad but one window, and that a smal.1. one. Dr. Dunglison, in his "Ele? ments of Hygiene," says: "In less than an hour many, of the prisoners were attacked with extreme difficulty-of breathing; several were delirious, and the place was filled with incohe? rent raving?, in which the cry for water was predominant. This was handed' to them by the sentinels, but without the effect of allaying their thirst. In less than .four hours many were suffocated or died in delirium. In five hours the survivors, except those at the gate, were frantit: and outrageous. At length most of them beaune insensible. Eleven hours after they were imprisoned, twenty-three only of the one hundred and forty-six came out alive, and these were in a highly putrid fever." There arc many "black holes" like this used for sleeping-rooms; the difference between them and the one at Calcutta is that they are not crammed quite so full of human beings. In a word, thej, we may say a sleeping apartment should be large, lofty and airy. It is a poor economy for health to have large and spacious parlors, and small, ill-ventilated bed-rooms. Fashion, however, is a reigning deity in this respect, and. will, no doubt, continue to bear sway, notwithstanding our protest against her dominion. You will scarcely drink after another person from the same glass, yet you will breathe over and - over tie same air charged with the filth and poison of a hundred human bodies around you. You cannot bear to touch a dead oody because it is so polluting; but you can take right into your lungs, and consequently into your body, your system, those poisonous parti? cles and noxious exhalations which the bodies around you have refused, and which have been cast into the atmosphere by their lungs, be? cause the health of their bodies required them to be thrown off. If the "timorously nice creatures who can scarcely set i foot on the ground," 'who are so delicate thai they run distracted at the crawl? ing of a worm, flying of a bat, or squeaking of a mouse, could see what they breathe at the midnight arousal, the very polite ball, and bright theatre, they would never be caught in such company again. Nay, if they could see what they bieathe in their own dwellings, after the doors and windows had been closed a little while, they would soon keep open houses.? More sickness is caused by vitiated air than can be named. It is one of the most prominent causes of scrofula, which is but another name for half the diseases that attack the human body. It vitiates and destroys the whole foun? tain of life?the blood. In the sick room it often augments the dis? ease, or renders it incurable. If the physician comes In and opens a window, or a door stands ajar for a moment, the good nurse, or the ten? der mother, or the kind wife, or the loving sis? ter, will fly ip and close it as though the life of the sick were at stake. All this is well meant kindness, but really cruel. If you would have health, breathe fresh air; open your windows every morning, and often during the cay; leave off your mufflers from the chin. Let the air into your bed-rooms; you cannot nave too much of it, provided it does not blow directly upon you. How the South is Treatep.?Wm. Cullen Bryaut, the veteran free-soiler and long-time editor of the New York Evening Post, for whom the Southern people have no reason to feel special regard, has during the past winter been sojourning in the Southern States. We ask attention to the following extract from a recent letter of his to the Post: In all my intercourse with the people of the South, although it has not been very extensive nor of very long continuance, I have heard only the expressed sense of a desire to be on friendly terms with us 01" the Northern States. Especially lias this been the case in Charles? ton, where 1 saw more than elsewhere of the people of the place. I have never, since I crossed Mason and Dixon's line, heard a single expression of bitterness or malignity towards those who li ve north of it. It was but the oth? er day that the people of Charleston sent a formal invitation to the President of the Uni? ted States to visit South Carolina. He declined the civilty, und at the sumo time removed the postmaster Df* Charleston, Mr. Trott, who was highly esteemed, and for whose couiiuuancc in office the citizens, without distinction of party, bad earnest'<v petitioned. In his place he ap? pointed a colored man, who, whether justly or not, lies under the odium of being connected with the corrupt fellows who have for several years been pillaging the State. This was like answering a.i invitation to dinner with a slap in the face, aud was a gross blunder to say the least. ? The Ba ngor Whig and Courier says that a nervous man in the sleeping car on the night train from St. John, a few nights since, was awake when the train stopped at a station, and he heard the conductor call out, "Jackson Brook." Jumping from his berth, he seized a companion in the berth above him, dragged the unfortunate man out into the middle of the car, and strove to rush him to the door, shout? ing, at the same time: "The axle's broke! The axle's broke ! We are all going to destruc? tion !" It was some time before he was calmed down enough to understand that he had misun? derstood the conductor. ? While von are living, be very kind and generous and do as much good .as you can to your relations; but leave them nothing when you die, and you will be sure to be missed by them, Josting at Hainan Frailty. A story is told of a French gentleman, who, haying lost the bulk of his property through the rascalities of friends in whom he trusted, crowned it all by the loss of his mental bal? ance, and for the remainder of his days found his only delight in riding in omnibuses and passing fares from passengers to the driver, taking care when change was returned to add to it a sou or two from his own pocket and watch the effect on the receiver. In nine cases out of ten, as the story goes, the passenger, counting over his change and finding as he supposed that the driver had cheated himself, would look bewildered for a moment and then pocket the change with a quiet chuckle. The special delight of the lunatic was in satisfying himself in this way that nine-tenths of his fellow-men were dishonest' if they only had j the opportunity.; There may not have "been any such French gentleman?we incline to the belief that there was not; and if there was he may not have found any such proportion of his fellow men cheats?we are disposed to believe he did hot. 'And yet, was there ever a Congressman who had been largely accused of things which of course he did not do, but which if he bad done would have been dishonest ? . Was he "smart," and did people say. "You must watch him pretty closely, but he is a very smart man ?" And did he say of himself that he. had been accused of a great many things, but no one had ever charged him with being a fool? And did he get tired of being accused of doing a great many things and suspected of a great many more? And did he finally take on a profound disgust at all the professions of hon? esty and morality of his fellow-Congressmen, and make up his mind that their pretenses were insincere, and that they were only honest be? cause they had never had a first-rate opportu? nity to steal ? Had there been such a man ever, be would never have gone crazy and foolea away his time passing fares in an omnibus. "He would have been much more likely to. introduce a bill into Congress increasing the pay of the men who voted for it, and doubling the pay. of the Executive who signed it. Then he would have watched the.performances of - the high toned persons who despised and denounced all surreptitious cheese, as they went round and smelt of Xhis especially tempting morsel. He would have been somewhat amused at the gen? tlemen who voted for the bill and then took the proceeds, but he would have been tickled almost to death, at the performances of those who. denounced the scheme and voted against it, and then, after bolder men had carried it through, sneaked up and took their share of the plunder. Had there ever been such a lunatic?which Heaven forbid?and he had entrapped his fel? low-countrymen and fellow-Congressmen in any such way, we might suppose that, even had he been as far away as Essex County, Mass., you could have heard him .'laugh as his victims stepped up and drew their share. Let us be happy in not having any such lunatic to make sport of human frailty.?New York Tribune. HrRIS'G OF HANDS.?A correspondent of the Thorn as ville Enterprise tells the following good 'un in connection with the mysteries and mis? eries of the above delightful business: In this country contracting with laborers is exceedingly annoying, at best, and sometimes we find one here and there, after struggling late in the season without securing the labor desired, perplexed and driven to almost despe? ration. Such was the case with our *iend Me., when appearing on the streets one .y, he ap? proached an individual, and, soured t y his re? cent experience in setting his plantation in order for the year's crop, he asked, with an almost shadow less hope:. "Do you know of any hands to hire ?" "No, sir, I do not." Turning to a "colored gemman," who had been pointed out but a few feet distant, friend Mc. goes for him in this wise: "Mr., do vou want to hire ?" * "No, sir, I dont hire, myself?I got plenty to do?I works for myself." All the petty annoyances since freedom broke out rushing upon our friend at this moment^ be straightened himself up, and looking and talking like none but him can look and talk, he says: "Mr., I am wanting to hire, and do you please tell all you see of the African persuasion what my terms are. I will furnish the land, the mules, the tools, feed the mules, feed the hands and their families, and I want no man without he has a large family?great many uncles and aunts?a large acquaintance in the neighbor? hood?friends that will call often, and I will clothe them neatly, pay their doctor's bill, fur? nish them with a a?d good house to bold prayer meeting in, and give them all they can make, except the fodder, and d?d if I don't pull that myself." Prolific?We learn that Mr. T. D. Young, of whose prolific family we made mention some months since, has of late been blessed with a fourth pair of twins, making in all thirteen children! One of his sons, George Washington ?of the first pair of twins?is now near twenty years of age, and can beat any of bis neighbors, black or white, in hoeing corn. Mr. Young has a yearling which recently gave birth to a calf. The animal is only thir? teen months old, and gives a fine quantity of milk. The merits of Mr. Young as a farmer maybe judged from the fact that last year he made, on an acre of old field, five hundred and eighty one pounds of Hut cotton, using two wagon loads of stable manure. The land was thor? oughly prepared, but the cotton was not ploughed after is came up. Three years ago he made eighteen bales of cotton with three hands and two mules. Can any of our friends beat this??Abbeville Press and Banner. Beecher on South Carolina.?Henry Ward Beecher, in a characteristic 6ermon at Plymouth Church, drew on South Carolina for an illustration: He said that he did not know on earth a more pitiable sight than South Carolina. It was at one time the richest and proudest of the States. It inaugurated those ideas which led to the disaster of the war and the cleansing of the continent. The people of South Carolina had risked and sacrificed everything for their principles; they had seen their children laid in the grave and their households reduced to beggary, and yet, in the plenitude of their sorrow, they would take back no particle of their faith in the cause. Though in a bad cause, they bad shown a heroism it would be well to pattern and admire. ? It is asserted by celebrated dentists that the main cause of defective teeth is the extrav? agant use of soda, and cream of tartar in the manufacture of bread and cakes. Dr. Walker, a distinguished dentist, has published the re? sults of some experiments made by himself. He soaked sound teeth in a solution of sale ratus, and they were destroyed in fourteen days. With these facts befcre us, why will we per? sist in the excessive use of that which not only destroys the beauty of the face, but also takes from us that which our Creator designed should add to our health, comfort, and happiness? ? The Philadelphia Press thinks that many men who "fought down the. rebellion" have been "extravagantly rewarded for poor servi? ces," which is true; for we know a man?not personally, thank goodness?who did nothing more to put down the rebellion than any cor? poral in the army could have done, and yet that man is now being rewarded with a salary of $50,000 a year. ? An Alabama paper says of a recently elected member of tue'Legislature that he has already shown his devotion to the State by nine years' gratuitous service in the State pen ileutiary.
