His young and baby shout, Like laughter sweet is ringing, Throughout our quiet home, A joy and gladness bringing. No sorrow knows our pet, Our dearest son and darling; From early morn as blithe, As any lark or starling. Four sunny years have shed, Oa him their rosy brightness; And golden are the curls.

MOTHER AND CHILDREN. THE duty and dignity of a mother require that she : ehoald, never subordinate herself to her children. When she does so, she does it to their manifest injury and he own. 0f course, if illness or accident demand unusual care, she does well to grow thin and pale in bestowing unusual care. But when a, mother in the .ordinary routine of: life grows thin and pale, gives up riding, reading, and the amusements and occupations'of life, there is a wrong somewhere, and her children shall reap the fruit of it. The father and mother are the head of the family, the most comely and the most honorable part. They cannot benefit their children by descending from their Heaven-appointed places, and beeoming Terpetual and exclusive feet and - hands. his is the great failltof A.merican mothers. They Swamp theme:elves in a slongh of self sacrifice. They are smothered in their own sweetness. They dash' into domeiticity with an impetus and abandonment that anuihilate themselves. They sink into - their faiiiilies like a light in' a poisonous well, and - are ex tinguished. One hears much complaint, of the direc tion and character of female education. It is dolefully affirmed that young ladies learn how to sing operas, but not how to keep house—that they can conjugate Greek verbs, but cannot - make bread—that they are good for pretty toying, but not for homely using. IYoubtless there is foundation. for this re mark, or it, would never have been made. But I have been in the East, and the West, and the North and the South ; I know that I have seen the best society, and I am sure I have seen very_ ad, if not the worst; and I never met a woman whose superior educa tion, whose piano, whose pencil, whose Ger man, or French, or any school -accomplish ments, or even whose novels, clashed with her domestic duties. I have read of them in books; I did hear of one once; but I never met one—not one. I have seen women, through love of gossip, through in dolence, through sheer famine Of mental pabulum, leave undone things that ought to be done--rush to the assembly, the lecture- room, the sewing -circle, or vegetate in squa lid, shabby,:unwholesome homes ; but I never saw education run to ruin. So it seems to me that we are needlessly alarmed in that direction. But I have seen scores and scores of women leave school, leave their piano and drawing and fancy-work, and all manner of pretty and pleasant things, and marry and bury themselves. You hear of . them about six times in ten years, and there is a baby each time. They crawl out of the farther end of the ten years, sallow and wrinkled an d lank—teeth gone, hair gone, roses gone, p'umpness gone—freshness, and vivacity, and sparkle, everything that is dewy, and springing, and spontaneous, gone, gone, gone forever. Few things are more painful to look upon than the self-renunciation, the self-abnega tion of mothers—painful both for its testi mony and its prophecy, Its testimony is of over-care, over-work, over-weariness, the abuse of capacities that were bestowed for most sacred uses, an utter waste of most pure and life-giving waters. Its prophecy is of early decline and decadence, forfeiture of position and power, and worst, perhaps, of all, irreparable loss and grievous wrong to the children for whom all is sacrificed. To maintain her rank; no exertion is too great, no means too small. Dress is one of the most obvious things to a child. If the mother wears cheap or shabby or ill-assorted clothes, while the children's are fine and harmonious, it is impossible that they should not receive the impression that they are of more consequence than their mother. There fore, for her children's sake, if not for her own, the mother should always be well-dres sed. Her baby, so far as it is concerned in the matter, instead of being an excuse for a faded bonnet, should be an inducement for a fresh one. It is not a question of riches or poverty.; it is a thing of relations. It is' simply that the.mother's dress—her morning and evening and street and church dress— should be quite as good as, and if there is any difference, better than her child's. It is, of no manner of consequence how a child is ,clad, provided only its health be not in jured, its taste corrupted, or its self-respect wounded. Children look prettier in the cheapest and simplest materials than in the richest and most elaborate. But how com- - mon is it to see the children gaily caparisoned in silk and feathers and flounces, while the mother is enveloped in an, atmosphere of cottony fadiness ! One would take the child to be mistress and . the mother a servant. "But," the mother says, " I do not care for dress, .and Caroline does. She, poor child, would be mortified not to be dressed like the other children." Then do vou teach her better. Plant in her mind a higher standard of self-respect. Don't tell her you cannot afford to do for her thus and thus ; that will scatter premature thorns along her path but say that you do not approve of it ; it is proper . for' her to dress in such and such' a way. And be so nobly and grandly a woman that she shall have faith in you.—Atlantie Monthly. THE CLERGEILIN AND THE BURGLAR. The world of fiction hardly contains a more thrilling chapter than an incident which marked the life of Rev. Mr. Lee, who was recently cut down in his prime, while pastor of the Presbyterian church in the village of Waterford, N. Y. The adventure, says the Troy Times, occurred on - the night before Thanksgiving, a few, weeks previous to the commencement of the sudden illness, which resulted sadly and fatally. Mr. Lee was sitting in his study about one o'clock in the morning, preparing a discourse to be deliv ered to his congregation when assembled for Thanksgiving worship, when he heard a noise behind him, and became conscious that some- body was in the room. Supposing that a neighbor had dropped in upon soma unfore seen errand, Mr. Lee said: " What is the matter ?" and > turned around in his chair. He beheld the glim • # at Ca breast. The ruffian had entered , the house by a side window, supposing that all the occupants were wrapped in slumber, and burst upon the presence of Mr. Lee, before he was aware that the study contained an occupant. " Give me your watch and money," said he, "and make no noise, or I will fire." Mr. Lee said : - " You may as well put down your weapon, for I shall make no resistance, and you are at liberty to take all the valuables 1.. pos sees. The burglar withdrew his menacing pistol, and Mr. Lee said : ;.I wi • ll conduct you to the place where .my most precious treasures are placed." lie opened a door, and pointing to the cot where his two children lay slumbering in - the sweet sleep of innocence and peace. " These," said he, "are my .choicest jewels. Will you take them ? " proceeded to say that, as a minister of the Gospel, he had few earthly possessions, and that all his means were devoted to but one object-Ithe education of the two children that were posing in the adjoining rOOlll. The burglar was deeply and visibly ,affected by these. re- marks. Tears filled his. eyes, and he ex pressed the utmost sorrow at the not which he hadbeen about to commit. After a few remarks from Mr. Lee, the would-be crim inal consented to kneel and join "with'him in prayer:, and. there in that lonely house, amid the silence of midnight, the offender poured 'forth his penitence and remorse, while the representative of a religion • of peace and good-will told him to "go and sin no more." Such a scene has few parallels. . On the conclusion of the prayer the bur glar attempted to take his departure by the broken •window through which he had en tered. " Why not go by the front door ?" said Mr. Lee. The man replied :K. " There are confederates there who would shoot either you or roe." He desired Mr. Lee to take an oath on the Holy Scriptures, never to reveal the particu lars of this singular interview. Mr. Lee said it was unnecessary, as he had the kindest feelings aught he had seen or heard. The next day Mr. Lee, while walking with his wife, met the man in the streets of Waterford, and on sub sequent occasions, saw him from time to time. One of the actors in this singular episode fills an early grave; but by means that we are not at liberty to disclose, the event did not die with him. What must be the feel ings of the other party to this mysterious meeting, whenever he reflects upon the lonely parsonage, and the memorable scene that it witnessed on the night before Thanksgiving, 1862? i~~~tx~~ea~~. ADMIRAL PORTER HOAXES THE REBEL}. =II Admiral Porter has perpetiated perhaps the largest practical joke of modern warfare upon the rebel Vicksburgers. Certainly, the results were most serious to them and most fortunate to U 3.

He thus describes the con struction and effects of the vessel; "An old coal barge, picked upin the river, was the foundation to build on. It was con structed in twelve hours, of old boards, with pork barrels piled on top of each other for smoke-stack, and two old canoes for quarter boats. Her furnaces were built of mud, and only intended to make black smoke, and not steam. On the night of the 24th we heard, at 9 o'clock, heavy guns about fifteen miles below. We knew that the rebels had noth ing but light guns there, which could not be heard at any distance. So we thought it was the Indianola engaging the batteries at Carthage, fifteen miles below Vicksburg. - Not knowing that Brown was in peril, we let loose our Monitor. It was towed to within a couple of miles of the first battery, and let go, when it was discovered'by the (Hui light of — the moon that Vicksburg was in a stew Never did her batteries open with such a vim. The earth fairly trembled, and the shot flew thickly around the'devoted 'Moni tor, which returned no shot with her long wooden gun: The Monitor ran safely past all the batteries, though Under a heavy fire for an hour, and drifted down safely. to =the lower mouth of the canal, where she was tucked into an eddy. The rebels were com pletely deceived by her. As soon as, they saw her by daylight they opened on her again with all the:guns they could bring to bear, but without a shot bitting her to do, any harm, for the shot went through one side and came out the other, without causing the ves sel to sink, as she has full of water, already. Our soldiers shouted and laughed like mad, but the laugh was sonieWhat against them when, at daylight, we discovered the ram Queen of the West lying at Warrenton; and the question at once arose what happened:to the Indianola. Had the two rams sunk her or captured her in the engagement we heard the night before ?- One of two of the sol diers got the - Monitor out in.the stream, and let her go down on the ram Queen. All the forts commenced firing and signalizing, and as the Monitor approached her, the rain turned tail and ran down the river as fast as she could go, the,Monitor after her, making all the speed that was , given her by a five knot current. The forts at Warrenton fired braVely and rapidly, .and it, was reported that they hit our Monitor in a very vulnerable spot.,, The result of this device is told in the fol lowing paragraph-from the Vicksburg }Rig; March sth. DESTRUCTION OE THE INDIANOLA.—We stated a day or two since that we would enlighten our readers in regard to a matter which was puzzling them very much. We alluded to the loss of the gunboat Indianola, recently captured from the enemy. - e were loth to acknowledge she had been destroyed, but such is the case. The Yankee barge sent down the river last week was reported to be an iron-clad gunboat. The authorities, think ing that this monster would retake the Indi anola, immediately issued an order to blow her up. The order-was sent doWtrby courier to the officer in charge of the vessel. A few hours _afterward another order wits sent down, countermanding the first, it being as certained that the monstrous craft was only a coal boat; but before it reached the Indianola she had been blown .to atoms—not even a, gun was saved. Who is to blame for this folly— this • Irecin'ta.noir i we had no use for gunboats on the Missis . sippi, as a coal barge is magnified into a monster, and our authorities immediately prder a boat that would have been worth a small army to us to be, blown un.

ONLY A SOLDIEItIi3LANKET.—When the gallant Sir Ralph Akercromby was mortally wounded in the battle of. Ahnukir, he was carried in a litter nriihoard the "Fottdroy ant. To ease his ptin a soldier's blanket was, placed under his head, from which he experienced great relief. Ile asked what it was. "It is only a seldier's blanket," was the answer. " 147tose blanket is it ?" he asked, half lifting himself up. " Only ono of the men's." " I wish to know ,the name of the man whose blanket this is,", insisted the dying commander. "It is. Duncan Roy's of the Forty-second, Sir Ralph," answered his attendant. " Then see that.
