This Distressing Affection which renders Life

Improper habits than ny the prudent I Besides

DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the motst einiuctit
Col'cges In the United States, and the greater
part of whose ifc has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected some of the mot astoniHhing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and cars when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden suands,
liashl'ulneKS, with frequent blushing, attcuded
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
immedintclv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. Lildrcbecs all those who have injurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruiu both body and mind, untitling
them for cither business, (tudy, society or mar
riage. Thess are some of the sad aud melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz :
Weakness of the Back aud Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, &.
Mistaixt The fearful effect on the mind
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusiou of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Lot of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are some of the
evils produced.
T Hot' sards of persons of all ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, ncrvons
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. TOUNG MEN
Who have injured th mselves by certain prac
tice indulged in when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud If not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, aud destroys both mind aud body, should
apply Immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
natcbet from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons vcst before contemtduting
31 ARM AGE.
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
. . uess. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
Jiourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blichted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happen that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education aud respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as alee rated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the bead, face and extremities, pro
pressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
ia, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to bis dreadful suffering, by sending
him to 44 that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through fulling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the nse of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, and
incapable of coring, keep the unhappy snfferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and Instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, iu des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his galling disapointmcnU
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observations iu
' the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first in
this country, vix j England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

Johnston, witnessed by the representatives of the

and responsibility, is a sufficient guarantee to the
afflicted. Shiu diseases speedily cured.

CREMATION POETRY.
Then the night wore on and we knew the worst
That the end of it was nigh :
Three doctors tbey had from the very first
Aud what could one do but die ?
"O, William !" ehe cried, "strew no blossoms of
spring,
For tbe new 'apparatus' might rust,
But say that a handful of shavings you'll bring,
And linger to see me combust.
"O, promise me, love, by the tire-hale you'll
watch,
- And when mourners and stokers convene,
Tett'wfir'see that they light me some solemn,
"5 slow match, ' '
And warn them against kerosene.
"It would cheer me to know ere these rude
breezes waft
My essence far to the pole,
That one whom I love will look to the draught,
And have a fond eye on the coal.
"Tlien ttrml tnjt lnvi. " n rwl liep vntnp fuinter
grew
"While Ibis body of mine calcifies,
You will stand just as near na you can to the
flue,
And gaze while my gases arise.
"For Thompson Sir Henry Iiqb found out a
way
(Of his process' you've surely heard tell)
And you burn like a parlor match gently away,
Not even offend by a smell.
"So none of the dainty need sniff in disdain
When my carbon floats up to tbe sky ;
And I am sure, love, that you will never com
plalnj Though an ash should blow into your eye.
"Now promise me, love" and she murmured
low
"When the calcilication is o'er,
You will sit by my grave in the twilight glow
I mean by my furuace door.
"Yes, promise me, love, while the seasons re
volve On their noiseless axles, the years,
You will visit the kiln where you saw me 're
solve, And leach my pale ashes with tears."
How She did It.
Peter Penny wise was in deep grief. All
the Lopes of a life-time were to be frus
trated. The fond ambition he had ho long
Durscsl, his pet scheme to make the name
of Penny wise the greatest in the land, was
no more. His only son, Launcclot, was to
be married, and married to a plcbian to a
girl who liad wealth but no name, no fami
ly ancestry, or no coat-of-arms on the pa
nel of her coach.
Could human misery be greater ? Could
the Osa of grief piled on the Pelion of dis
appointment make a heavier load of sor
row ? Xo. The cup of Penny wise was
full to the brim and he must drain it to the
lees, however bitter the draught. Such
was the tenor of old Penny wisc'8 musings
as he paced the velvet carpeted floor of his
library on the evening when our story
opens. A conversation nis son naa witn
hi m as they sat together sipping their wine
after dinner, had been tbe cause of this tu
mult in the breast of Peter Pennywise.
Launcelot was a weak-eyed and pink-skinned
youth, with thin yellow hair, which he
parted in the centre, and a little whisp of
saffron whisker on each side of his face, the
pulling of which with his nervous little
hand constituted the principal employment
of the scion oftbe house of Pennywise.
'Father,' said Launcelot, after gulping
down two or three glasses of wine to give
him courage. 'Father.'
'Well, my son, what do you want ?' ask
ed the pompous head of the house.
'What do you think of marriage 1"
'What do I think of what ?' questioned
the surprised Pennywise.
'Marriage,' replied Launcelot. 'Matri
mony, you know. Two hearts with but a
single thought, two souls that beat as one,
and all that.'
'I think that every man should marry,
and I would be glad to hear that you had
fixed your affections on some lady with the
proper qualifications,1 said Pennywise.
'What are the proper qualifications ?' in
quired Launcelot
'Family,' replied his father, 'family
whatever else you do, be sure never to dis
grace the name of Pennywise by a plebian
connection.'
'Why, is our family such a very great
one ?' demanded tbe young man.
A great one !' echoed Pennywise ; 'why,
it's the greatest in the land. Study care
fully the genealogical tree that hangs in the
hall, which cost mc five thousand to have
properly traced and you will see that the
name of Pennywise was as well known as
that of William at the time of the Norman
conquest, and that the coat of arms is one
of the most respectable and ancient that
ever heraldry boasted of.'
'Well, of course that's all true, father ;
but I've heard some of the fellows at the
club say that grandfather was a pawn '
'Your grandfather was a broker and
banker as I myself am, and was fully aware
of the responsibility of being worthy of his
family,' said Mr. Pennywise, interrupting
his son ; 'therefore he began my education
by impressing the value of a family name
upon my young mind, and so, when I bad
grown older, and he intimated to me that
I ought to marry the highest respectable
Miss Poundfoolish, I went to that lady,
proposed and was accepted. Thus I con
solidated the two families of Pennywise and
Poundfoolish, and you and your sisters are
the result. But you asked my opinion of
matrimony ; are you thinking of marry
ing?' 'Ye-es Bir,' gasped Launcelot.
'And whom do you propose honoring
with your name ?'
'Miss a Miss Petersham,' answered
youthful Pennywise.
'Petersham Petersham ; I never heard
of a Petersham. Who is she ?' demanded
the gentleman with a darkening biow.
'She is very rich.'
And Launce faltered.
lliches are very well, but you do not
need Ihem. Your mother left you all her
fortune, and I shall leave you half of mine
if you marry as I wish. Who is this this
Petersham ? What does her father do ?'
'He keeps a large clothing establish
ment."
What! roared Pennywise. 'A tailor?
It shall not be. The arms of Pennywise
shall never be marred by a needle or dis
figured by great heaven a goose 1 It
shall never be never never I'
'It must be I' said Launcelot, going to
the door, 'cause I've 'popped' and she's
accepted me.'
The old man mechanically arose and
walked to his study, where he began pac
ing the floor, as we found him at the com
mencement of our story, until there came
a rap at the door.
The visitor proved to be the governess
of the two Misses Pennywise aged twelve
and the other fourteen whose disorderly
conduct and wilful destruction of warerobe
and text books occasioned many a visit to
the library, after the dinner-hour, by the
governess.
She was a neat, pretty little body this
governess, and had ofteu.attracted the no
tice of the young bloods who came to visit
Launcelot, but she paid not the slightest
attention either to their compliments or
glances, attending quietly to her pupils,
and seeming wholly wrapped in their
charge. In fact Charlie Gushington, who
was falling in love with every girl he met,
once observed of her to Launcelot :
Launce, that governess gal ! what's
her name ? Amy Dorr ? ain't got any
heart. The only thing she could love
would be more pupils or plenty of money.'
'Good evening, Miss Dorr,' said Penny
wise, when Amy bad entered the library.
What can I do for for you this evening ?'
'Excuse' me sir,' said Amy, hesitatingly.
'I wish to see you about my pupils, but
I can see you are grieved and agitated, ind
as I fancy I know the cause of your ag ta
tlon, I will not annoy you with my common-place
complaints.'
'You know the cause ?' gasped Penny
wise. Yes, sir ; I have no wish to intrude my
opinions or my knowledge, but the cause of
your grief is, I imagine, of your son, and I
think he is acting most foolishly.'
'You are right, Miss Dorr,' asserted the
old gentleman 'you are right. He is act-
in" most foolishlv most foolishlv.' '
'Cannot you prevent it ? asked the go
verness.' 'No; I am powerless powerless. He
will wed the tailor's daughter, and dis
grace the great, the aristocratic name of
Pennywise.'
There was a smile playing around the
corners of Miss Dorr's mouth, and a sati
rical twinkle in her eye, as Mr. Pennywise
spoke of his aristocratic name.
'Can you not threaten to disinherit him?'
she asked.
'No use no use,' groaned the disconso
late Pennywise ; 'he has half a million lefc
him by his mother.'
'A half a million !' cried Amy, and the
smile and twinkle faded away leaving her
face stern and calculating looking.
'Mr. Pennywise, this marriage would be
scandalous. Listen ; I know Miss Peter
sham very well, in fact she considers me
her intimate friend '
'My son's wife the Intimate friend of a
governess,' sighed Pennywise regardless of
the feelings of the girl before him.
'Yes,' replied Amy, not heeding the in
sult ; 'but she is only a tailor's daughter.'
Alas ! alas I too true, too true,' said the
unfortunate Pennywise.
'Mr. Pennywise,' continued Amy, 'ySu
are rich, very rich, and I am poor. You
regard this marriage as a disgrace to your
family. I think 1 cau prevent it. What
will you give me if do ?'
'My dear Miss Dorr, cried old Penny
wise, jumping up from his chair, 'if you
can prevent my son from marying that tai
lor's daughter I will bestow upon you ten
thousand dollars.'
"Tis a bargain,' said the governess.
'Please write a little agreement to this ef
fect : That as soon as 'I give you proof
that Miss Petersham is married to some
one else than your son you will pay me the
sum of ten thousand dollars.'
'Married to some one else than my son !'
said Pennywise, as he was writing the
agreement.
'Yes,' answered Amy, 'that is my mean
ing ; I will make her marry a young man
I have in my mind now.'
'But my son will not permit it ; he is fa
scinated by this tailor's daughter.'
'I will sec that he permits it,' the gover
ness said, taking the agreement Mr. Pen
nywise had drawn up and signed. My
duty is to prevent the marriage of Miss
Petersham.'
'Yes,' said the old man, do that and I
will bless you ;' and the interview ended.
For the week immediately following the
evening the foregoing conversation took
place, Miss Amy, very much to their de
light, absented herself entirely from her
pupils ; and she might have been seen any
afternoon walking arm in arm with the
lovely Miss Petersham.
During the walks, somehow, Mr. Char
ley Gushington invariably met the two la
dies and joined them in their walk nor
did he seem to regard the meetings as at all
unexpected. The fact was that the wily
governess had introduced Mr. Gushington
to Miss Petersham, and was, unknown to
them fanning the flame that they declared
was consuming both their young hearts.
Three weeks had passed since the night
Miss Amy had agreed to prevent the mar
riage of young Pennywise with Miss Pctcr
Bham, when one morning tbe governess
presented herself to the clerks in the office
of Mr. Pennywise, and asked to see that
gentleman. She was ushered into a pri
vate office where she found the aristocratic
Pennywise very much surprised at his vi
sitor. 'To what good fortune am I indebted for
this visit?' he asked, wheeling around
from his desk.
To the best fortune,' answered the go
verness. 'Please read this advertisement
that 1 am going to insert in to-morrow
morning'B papers,' and she handed him a
slip of paper on which he read the follow
ing: G usn ington-Petersii AM.-On the 17th
inst, at Grace church, by the Rev. Jere
miah Waller, D. D., S. T. D., Mr. Chas.
Gushington to Emeline, eldest daughter of
Jacob Petersham, Esq., all of this city.
No cards.
My dear Miss Dorr,' said Pennywise,
jumping up from his chair, 'you have saved
the family you have done wonders I owe
you a debt of gratitude I can never pay.
Well, here is a debt you owe me you
can pay,' said Amy, producing the agree
ment. I will thank you for ten thousand
dollars in greenbacks. I don't want a
check I want the money.'
'My dear Miss Dorr,' said the banker, 'if
it took my last dollar I would not repudi
ate your claim.'
And, drawing a check for tbe amount,
he called a messenger, and bade him go to
the bank and get ten thousand dollar notes.
After the messenger had departed on his
errand, Pennywise turned to the governess
and said :
How did my- son bear the news that
Miss Petersham was false to him ? Thank
heaven, tuy family will not be disgraced.'
'When he first discovered that Miss P.
was receiviug attentions from Mr. Gush
ington, he threatened to commit suicide ;
but I finally induced hitu to listen to rea
son and he attended the ceremony last
night.'
But how did you effect this alteration in
him ? You are a witch ; or I should say
a good fairy. How did you do it ?' '
Will the boy be long at the bank ?' ask
ed the governess.
'No, he is here now. I see you want
your money before you give your informa
tion ; quite right. Well there it is,' and he
handed her the money.
Miss Amy walked to the other end of the
room, and placed the money safely in her
bosom. Then turning to Mr. Pennywise
she said : .
'Mr. Pennywise, you asked mc how I ob
tained your son's consent to the marriage
between Mr. Gushington and Miss Peter
sham. - ..
'And saved my son from an alliance to a
woman socially beneath him.' interrupted
Mr. Pennywise. 'You marvel among wo
men, will you tell me ?'
I will.'
'How did you do it ?'
'I married him myself. Good morning,
sir.'

Why Do the Yonne; Rush to the
Towns and Cities? How
. to I'reveut it.
Many newspapers, especially those of the
cities, are always doing good work, the
value of which can hardly be overestimated,
in warning the youth of country homes of
rushing to towns, and especially large
cities, where they too often have to eke out
a miserable existence, or suffer absolute
want.
By way of preventing a calamity, it is
well to look at its cause. Now, what is the
attraction to young men in tbe large cities ?
They are simply dazzled and bewildered
by what they see and hear. Dress is one
of the first things that attracts and secures
attention ; then comes all the fascination
of places of amusement, and the possibility
of great wealth, which so few, after all,
win. These things contrasts strikingly
with the life of many country homes, where
young men and young women (who, till
experience teaches them, can see only the
bright side of city life) are mere drudges
"hewers of wood and drawers of water."
Yes, we say drudges, whose lives are no
better than that of the poorest drayhorse.-
Now, it won't do for Press and Pulpit to
preach to such people that their condition
will be injured by coming to tbe cities ; for
in fact with some of them it is much im
proved : yet, it is well known that the
youth of the country have rnshed to the
cities till various kinds of trades and pro
fessions Beeni likely to be overcrowded, and
hence come want, "poverty, hunger and
dirt," suicide, and other crimes too horri
ble to mention. Tbe reader may now na
turally ask, What is the remedy? The
answer is simple enough. Let home be
made attractive by culture of. mind and
heart, aa well as soiL Daily and steady toil,
without any relaxation, breaks down body
and mind. But it will be said we have to
work like slaves to live. No doubt, many
starting with little if any capital in a new
country, have hard work and great priva
tions to undergo, which unfit their minds
for effort ; but there are the winter even
ings, when the the farmer and his family
surround their own fireside to cultivate
the affections and improve the mind.
Health, temperance and well directed in
dustry, soon secure to even the poorest in
our favored land, a comfortable compe
tence. Then by degrees borne can be made
beautiful by the proper management of a
fruitful soil. It will yield not only what
is necessary to sustain life comfortably, bot
also pleasures to gratify the most gifted
minds. They, of all others, who till the
soil, come into closest relations with Na
ture. All the sciences are more or less
intimately connected with the soil. There
is no lack of food for the mind or body.
Thus, while we have not an enlightened
cultivation of soil and mind, so long will
the young men of the country flee from the
music of nature to the cities' din, to drag
out perhaps a miserable existence in the
exacting toil of traders, who are but the
agents of the tillers of the soil. Let us
have enlightened agriculture, and a more
equal distribution of wealth must neces
sarily follow. The producer and the con
sumer will then shake hands ; the farmer
will wear as smooth a coat as the merchant,
and be at least as well educated ; and,
above all, bis relations will be directly with
the Giver of all good, who never cheats his
children ; thus his home will be enriched,
and made happy and beautiful.
If all this be true of those with little
means, how much more quickly can it be
reached by those who are better off I
Many a hard-handed farmer has his land
all paid for, plenty of money at interest,
and yet not only denies his family, hut
himself the necessaries of life. Suchpeop!e
are not the benefactors of their race. It
is they who drive the young men and mai
dens to the cities ; who rob the soil of God's
bouuty, taking all they can get, but put
ting nothing back ; and who ring from
their offspring their very heart's blood,and
thus exile them from homes if such they
can be called to whither they know not.
While these hard-handed farmers squeeze
out the life-blood of the young, and culti
vate neither mind nor soil, sn long will the
young flee from the homes of their fathers.
Through this bright, good land the home
of the weary and oppressed of all nations
many people, especially in the Western and
Northwestern States, have already not only
the necessaries, but the luxuries of life.
Few, if any, till the soil intelligently.
For the most part the soil is robbed, hut a
sad day of reckoning will come if this thing
lasts. It has already come to Virginia,
and it will come to her sister States, if the
application of useful knowledge to agricul
ture be neglected. - We look for better re
sults. General education will settle tbe
question ; and if the tillers of the ground
will be true to it and themselves, ail that
heart can wish will follow. The young
will then stay at home, enjoying all the
blessings that can come from a fruitful soil,
MOST SINGULAR STORY.
TWO RATTLESNAKES TAKEN FROM THE
STOMACH OF A WOMAJf.
A correspondent of the Morris town Oct
zttte, writing from Murrysville, Cooke
county, Tennessee, under date of June 30,
gives the motsiugular snake story we have
heard yet. - We clip tbe following :
"A Mrs. Kennedy, it woman of about
forty, the wife ot-an Irish laborer liviux off
French Broud- street, has Tor several year
suffered greatly' from ill health. Her
symptoms and complaints were singular.
She was afflicted with almost constant
pains, so that she could seldom or never
rest at night. She stated that she felt
something running up and down in the
abdomen, that she frequently experienced
tbe creeping sensation which is called irri
tability. She bad been' in the hospital
here, and had been treated for various com
plaints, but found no relief. As her un
easiness and pains continued, so were tbe
attempts to relieve her, but without suc
cess. iNot long since Dr. remain uyies
was called into requisition and took charge
oftbe case.
"About a week ago she became subject
to uncontrollable uneasiness, and begged
Dr. Gyles to perform an ope ration for her
relief. This be was reluctant to do, think- .
ing it would hazard her life ; but she persist
ed in the request, and at last he yielded to
her importunities, when, on Friday after
noon last, assisted by Dr. James Davis, of
this place, and Surgeon Wm. Allen, of
Sweetwater, he proceeded to perform the
operation. He first made an incision about
ten inches long along the medial line of the
abdomen. He found a tumor projecting
largely, about twenty-six inches in diame
ter and irregular form. He opened it and'
found therein two rattlesnakes, one was
thirty-six inches, and the other thirty-two
and one-half inches in length. One of the
snakes had five rattles and the other four
rattles and a button. They bad yellow
and black spots on them, with white bellies,
They were quite lively, and would rattle
and strike when disturbed. They were
killed, and their skins and rattles are in
possession of Colonel John Stephens.
"The tumor being removed, Mrs. Kenne
dy was instantly relieved, and now is doing
well. Tbe doctor calls the soakes erotdlua
horridus. Mrs. Kennedy says she swal
lowed two small, soft white eggs that she
found, several years ago, as she was walk
ing out in a field near the Warm Springs,
North Carolina. Having just come over V
from Ireland, she was not acquainted with
the bird eggs of America, and swallowed .
these eggs supposing them to be partridge
eggs."
The Tyrtann y oftbe Kltehea aad the
Laws onae utna.
A lively lady essayist recently contri
buted to one of our popular journals some
considerations on the tyrannies of a" Repub
lic, among which she instances that of.
household labor towards employees, which -in
some occult way she attributes as a fault ,
of republican institutions. She gives re
markable instances of the manner in which -the
mistress, so-called, is dragged in the
dust of her conqueror's broom,' and mys
teriously threatens a revolt of that typical
worm which turns when too much trodden
on.
A revolt which would establish a set of
machines of the useful kind which perform
the household labors of Lord Lytton's ,
Coming Race,' is the only thing imagina
ble to suit the case complained of ; but this
curious idea that our political institutions
are to blame for the short-comings and self
assertions of our domestic ministers, is not
confined to this one writer. They man
age things better in Europe,' is a very fre
quent cry, and we lately heard an accom
plished lady gravely demand of a distin
guished authority 'how long the law-makers
of this people meant to stand idly
by and see their wives and daughters crush
ed by domestic tyranny.'
No doubt the excellent people aforesaid
would really be sorry to see in this country
a chronic surplusage of labor which would
force people to submissively accept and even
eagerly seek the occupations most distate
ful to them, because sharp need compels.
yet we can see no other cure of this trouble
which 'institutions' could effect. The
tread-mill of house toil, unsweetened by re
sponsibility and the scpse of ownership,
seems to become evermore irksome and un.-
attractive, and remonstrances and preach- ,
ments are vain to keep women, like men,
from preferring the 'work from sqn to sun'
to the woman's work that's never dona,'
Everything points still increasing ur
gency to that subdivision of labor which is
our dream, when we talk of co-ope raiiva
housekeeping ; when tbe bakery, the laun
dry, the cuisine, and all, will each be a
great industrial centre conducted with all
mechanical regularity, and offering the
game inducements to operatives that other
workshops do. Wilmington Commercial.
Teach Children to Lova Beauty.
Place a young girl under the care of a .
kind-hearted and graceful woman, and she,
unconscious to herself, grows into a grace
ful lady. Place a boy in the establishment
of a thorough-going, straightforward busi
ness man, and the boy becomes a self-reliant
and practical business man. Child
ren are susceptible creatures, and circum
stances and scenes and actions always im
press. As you influence them, not by ar
bitrary rules, nor by stern example alone,
but in a thousand other ways they speak
through beautiful forms, pretty pictures,
etc., so they will grow. Teach your child
ren, then, to love the beautiful. If you are
able, give them a corner in the garden for
flowers ; allow them to have favorite trees ;
teach them to wonder in the prettiest
woodlets ; show them where they can best
view the sunset ; rouse them in the morn
ing, not by the stern time to work,' but
with tbe enthusiastic 'see the beautiful sun
rise I' Buy for them pretty pictures, and
encourage them to decorate their room in
his or her childish way. Give them an
inch and they will go a mile. Allow them
the privilege, and they will make your
home pleasant aud beautiful. William H.
Bashey.
