It. i*t {banded upon one of the most touching Incidents of i hi* ivcent battle of Gettysburg. After the fight a young Union private of rare soul and abilities, mortally wounded, was taken to the house of a Union * family. Thin family comprised three orphan sisters of eighteen, thirty, and rliirty-ftve. At their Imndf? he- received every attention, and found the comforts uf » home. Three h urs after Wing brought to this place, and hating hud ins wounds iirrs*od by ft surgw-n. the ladies took their sewing and sat mar the bedside. Some time before his death the |K»or soldier, looking them in the face with tendered emotion, littered the substance of the following beautiful ballad: Ladies, some one be my mother. Then ’twill seem that 1 am at home I’ll imagine I’m a brother, Hearing familiar tone. But I want a mother near me. With that Heaven in her eye. Ladies, some one be my-muther.

LESSON TO PARENTS. I had been married fifteen years.— beautiful daughters enlivened the domestic hearth, the youngest! of -whom was in her eighteenth yearj A more happy, and contented household was no where to be found. Illy wife >vas amia ble, intelligent and contented. ; We were not wealthy; but Providence bad pre served us from want; and we had learned that “contentment without wealth, is I tetter, than wealth without contentment.” It was my custom, when returning home at night, to drop into One of the many shops that at® constantly open in the busine& streets of the metropolis, and purchase some trifling dainties, such as fruit* and confectionery, to jpresent to mother and the children. I need not say how dilighted the little ones were at this slight expression of parental consider ation. On one occasion I had purchased some remarkably fine apples. After'a repast, half a dozen were untouched, and my thrifty companion forthwith removed them to the prqperplace of deposit, where it.was Iter custom to preserve the remains of our nicknacks. A day or two after, when I seated myself at the table to dine, she said to me, smilingly:— “So, father has found the way to my safety-box, has he?” i was at a loss to understand, the mean ing, and Aesired her to explain. “ Have you not been in my drawer ?” “ What drawer ?” “ The upper drawer in my chamber bu reau. Did you not take therefrom the largest of the pippins I had put away for the igirls?” No—l did not!” “ You did not ?” “ Not I! 1 have not seen an apple since the evening I purchased them!” V A slight cloud passed over the counte nance of my wife. She was troubled. The loss of the apple itself was nothing : but we had carefully instructed our chil dren not to appropriate to their use, any article whatever of family corsumption, without permission ; and as permission, when the demand was at nil reasonable, had never been denied them, she was loth to suspect any one of them of theoffence. We bad a servant girl in the fanulv, bflt as she was supposed to know notmng of ■*bo apples,.my wife hesitated to. charge if upon .her. She at length broke thesilence’ by saying;— We must examine the affair. I can hardly think one of the children would lf we find them guilty we must 6 00 10 00 14 00 10 00 14 00 20 00 14 00 ,20 00 40 00 1 75 , -’“.No sa;’\ Now, it is evident that falsehood ex isted somewhere. Could it be that one of my children had told me a lie ? The thought harrassed me. I was not able to attend to business. I went to the store— but soon returned again. Meanwhile, the servant, girl had communicated to her mistress that she had seen our youngest go into the garret with a large apple, the morning before. On examination, the cor6, and Several pieces of the rind were found upon the floor. I again called Mjiry to me and said to her, affectionately ; “ Mary, my daughter, did you not go into the garret yesterday ?” “ Yes, sir-” “ Did you notice anything on the floor ?” “ No, sir.” 1 was’- unwilling to believe my sweet child capable of telling me a falsehood: but appearances were against her. The fault lay between her and the servent, and while I was desirous to aquit my child, I did not wish to accuse unjustly the negro. 1 therefore took Mary into a room alone, I spoke- to her on the enor mity of lying—of the necessity of telling (he truth—of the severe punishment I should lw compelled to inflict upon her, if site did not confess the whole to me., if indeed she had. Gradually. I became convinced of her guilt : and not ' that 1 felt determined she should confess. My threatenings were not without effect.— After weeping and protesting her inno cence, and weeping and again prostrating, my threatening seemed to alann her, and falling upon her knees, she said:— “ Father, I did take the apple 5” > Never shall I forget that moment.— My child confessed that she was a liar in my presence! Suppressing my emotidn, l{retired ; and Mary, rising from her position, ran to her mother, and in a paroxism of grief cried out: — “ Mother, I did not take the apple.- But father has made me confess that 1 did.” \ Here was a new aspect of affairs- Lie multiplied upon lie. Could it be possi ble! My dear-Mary, who had never been known to deceive us—so fkfiectionate —so gentle—so truthful in ail the past —could if be possible that she was a confirmed liar! Necessity was stronger than the tenderness of a father. I chastised her for the first, time in liaj life—-severely, severely chas tised her! ; It almost broke her heart— and I may add, it almost broke mine also. • Yet Mary was innocent! After events proved that the negro was the thief.— She had coloured up the stojy of the gar ret, knowing that Mary would not deny having been there, and to make the cir cumstance strong pgainst her, had strewn apple-rinds on the floor. I nevqr think of the event without tears. But it has taught me a useful lesson, and that is to threaten a child into a lie, when it may be it is telling the truth. The only lie I eyer knew Mary to tell me, I myself forced upon her by tbreatenings. It has also fixed in my mind the determination to employ no servant in my family, when I can possibly do without. I The foregoing is a continuation of the article on Parental Correction in the Sep | tember number. ; The author is unknown, | but if such impressive lessons, have their I due effect on the minds of the parents, it will save many a pang in after years.—• | ; “ I read your September article on Pa-\ rental Corrections,” said a sunny-faced,, : energetic business man the other day. 1 ; bad just such a case in my own family. The mother whs extremely impatient at I the child ; but 1 took him to his room, | ! soothed his spirit as much as possible, and ! S slept with hun in his own little bed all I night.” A neighbor of ours, one of the | veiy best of men in all the relations of i domestic, social and business *life, cor rected a little son of his with great harsh- j ness and severity.; The next day the boy j was taken ill, was'sick fora long time, and barely escaped the grave. In the ap- j prehension of the death of the child, and ! in the contemplation of bis daily sufferings, ' he endured such inexpressible mental tor ture, he declared he would never punish a child of his again. This was going to opposite extreme- It is seldom wise, in any domestic management, to lay down a reprove them. Will you please look into it?” “ The girls were separately called into my presence; ; the oldest first. “ Eliza, did you take from your moth er’s drawer, an apple ?” “ No, sir.” “ Maria, did you take (rom your mother’s drawer, an apple?” “.No, sir. “ Man, - , did you lake from your mother’s drawer, an apple ?” “No, sir.” “It must have been taken by the ser vant : call her to me,” said f addressing my wife. • “Nell, how came you to take from the drawer of ypur mistress, without permission, the largest ot, the apples she had placed there ?” “ Wot apple?” “ Did you take no apple from* the drawer of ,vour mistress ?” ALTOONA, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER. 28, 1863 ■ Medo-Persian law; to pass any irrevoca ble edict: to make any unchangeable reg i illation. Such things are unliecoraing in ; themselves, and indicate a weak mind ;We are the creatures ot circumstances. It is best to cultivate force' of character, and leave ourselves free to act according |to the exigencies of the moment. In ref erence to any action, whether good or bad. there is-so much to modify it that cannot j hie forseen, that the highest wisdon is to ; leave one’s self free to act when the time for action comes, steadily aiming to avoid j haste and harshness •. seeking to discreet | medium between leniency and sternness: | between license jynd liberty. But in ref | erence to all our dealings with our ehil | dren, knowing iiow fallible we are, knowing j the numerous sources of misinformation | and mistakes around us, it is well, if error j must be committed, that it should he. on ' the side of patience, forbearance and a loving heart. Our children are unresist ing, helpless; thgy look to us naturally for acts of tenderness and love toward them; and if. instead, they should meet an over-share of sternness, of an unre lenting nature, the heart is soon wounded, i the affection chilled, their trustingness i crushed, and the foundation is laid for a spirifgof enmity, dislike, and actual cast ing off of the fie which funds to home and all its endearments : and when that is once fairly done, the mischief is without remedy in all time thereafter. Let pa rents bear these things in mind. A fitful recognizance of their truthfulness is not sufficient: tie* impression should be of an abiding character, for none other will Ik: sufficient to restrain the promptings of an impetuous nature or of a hasty temper ment; thus it is that, in a moment, some times an -act lias been committed or a word uttered, laying the foundation for life-long remorses I j An Item Which Kvkisv Man Shovi.d Rkad. —We have probably all ot us met with instances in which a word heedlessly spoken against the reputation of a female has been magnified by malicious minds until the clon-i inns liecome dark enough to Overshadow her whole existence. To those who are accustomed —not neces sarily from had motives, but from thought lessness—to speak lightly of females, we reccommend the “ hints" as wortljv of consideration: “ Never use a lady's imme in au improper place, at an improper time, or in mixed company. Never make assertions about her that you think are uiftrue, or allusions that you feel she herself would blush to hear. When you meet with men who do not scruple to make use of a woman’s name in a .reck less a,nd. unprincipled manner, shun them, for they are the very worst members of honor —every feeling of humanity. Many a good and worthy woman’s character has been forever ruined and her heart brqken by a lie, manufactured by some villain, and repeated where it should not have been, and in the presence of those whose . little judgment could not deter them from circulating the foul and brag ging report. A slander is soon propa gated, and the smallest thing derogatory’ to a woman’s character will fly on the wings or the wind, and magnify as it circulates until its monstrous weight crushes the poor unconscious victim.— Respect the mime of women, for your mothers and sisters are women; and as you would have their fair mime untar nished, and their lives unembittered by the slanderer’s biting tongue, heed the ill that your own words may Mflg upon the mother, the sister, or the wife, of some feUow creature. Ice FUJI Dipxhebia. — A correspondent of the Providence Journal vouches very strongly for the efficacy of ice as a cure lor diplheria, and all prdihaiy infiama tions of the throat. The manner of ap plication is as follows: “ Break up a squill lump of ice in a towel and gut pieces in a bowl. Take position slightly inclined backward, either in a chair or a sofa. Proceed for a half an hour with a teaspoon to feed yourself ■with small lumps of ice, lettingj them dis solve slowly in the back part o? the mouth or the entrance of the throat. A single such application will often break up a common sore throat, which otherwise would have n course of two or three days. In case of a very bad sore throat, use the ice frequently and freely. In case of ul ceration or diptheria, keep a small lump pf ice constantly in the mouth. : (9*Jenny June points out the way to jwrih a woman. She says: “ The most potent weapon in the hands of a man is generous devotion and gal lantry towards women. It is a thousand times more effective than beauty of per sons or grandeur of intellect, because, without this, few* woman will care for either .the one or the other, and with it will quickly invest the possessor with every other desirable attribute. A chiv alrous bearing at once exalts a man i nto a hero, and habitual kindness, considera tion, and a certain deferential politeness in his conduct towards women, mark the gentlemen.” [iKHEPKXDFVT or KVERTTRTSt).] A cotemporary relates the following:— Our esteemed friend, David P. Mcßrien, i Esq., of New York, tells a good note on a .Jersey lawyer. '!he hero of our sketch, during the. last hot summer months, used ! o occasionally %orship at the shrine of Gambrius, (Lager King,) on Broadway. One sweltering day he got pretty, “ mel ! low." having moistened his thorax too i much with the German beverage, and proceeded to navigate to his law office. He took up a substantial looking white hat. and with r a father puzzled look was making an attempt to put it on tideways. Of course it wouldn’t fit. He looked in side. holding (f up toward the light, and read alouii. “Jonas Shooter. Esq., Attor- I ney at Law. Jersey C.’ity." (,>W.

Having satisfied himself on that point, he once more read the ad dress, had another trial, and still side ways. i here he stood, perfectly mysti fied ; bat an idea lighted up his face, and he railed the waiter whom he apostro phised thll: “tan you read writing?" " Yes, -ir." “ W ell, will you be good enough: to tell me whose hat this is ?” Herman,took the head-case, and hav ing read, said-- “It belongs to Jonas Shooter, Esq., Jersey City." "Does it?” and looking ail around, with the most comical air in the world, exclaimed does it ?—then ir/w In tin {/nr) uuKchiej iwt 1 How Tui.OOK i'UEri'V IN A PICTUIiK.—-- Ihe great defect ol photograph portraits is the stem appearance of the subject, giving the impression .that the sitter was very cross at having to sit at all for a likeness. J bis is caused by the necessity of Laving to keep an immovable counte nance during the operation, and the con sequent endeavor to prevent any play ol the features. A very simple, but affect ive contrivance has been adapted to over come this difficulty. A large mirror, mounted on a moveable stand, is wheeled to the side ol the camera,, and the sitter is enabled to “ see himself as others see him.” The effect is instantaneous on every sitter. The stem scowl suddenly changes to a pleasant smile, and when that desirable object is attained, the Ope rator suddenly Axes the impression on the plate. The improvement is very great, but so simple that every one wonders why it was not thought of before. A Cußiqcs Theoky of the Duration of the Wah.— ' The Rev. John Gilbert, of Clay county, Kentucky, writes to a |friend in Frankfort, giving a curious theory with regard to the duration of the present war. In his fetter he says: “ During the Revolutionary War corn blades had seven points to them, that; is, the blade grew in such a manner as; to have seven distinct points or ends corres ponding with the sharp point’of the blade. These seven points indicated the duration of the Revolutionary War. _ Now there are but three separate and distinct, points to many of the blades, and this. indicates, very clearly to :my mind, that the dura tion of the present War will be three years—the points of the blades represent ing years.” ; Three Important Things.— Three things fo love-—courage, gentleness, and affection. Three things to admire—in tellectual power, dignify and gracefulness. Three things to hate—cruelty, arrogance and ingratitude. Three, thirtgs to delight i n—beauty, frankness and freedom. Three things to wish for—health, friends and a cheerful spirit.- Three things to pray for —faith, peace, and purity of heart. Three things to like—cordiality, good humor and mirttafuiness. Three things to avoid—idle ness, loquacity, and flippant jesting. Three things to cultivate—good books, good friends, and good humor. Three things to contend for—honor, country, and friends.

He worked two days at it, and at the end of the second day the pastpr of the church came to see how the work: progressed.— The old man stood by, smoking a short pipe, as the reverend gentleman ran his eyes over the tablets. ‘‘ Eh!” said the pastor, as his familiar eye detected something vyrong in the word ing of the precepts; “ why, you. careless old person, you have left a part of one of the commandments entirely out; don’t you see ?” “No; no such thing,” - said the old man, putting on his spectacles; “no; nothing left out —where t” : “ Why, there,” persisted the pastor ; “look at them in the,Bible; you have left some of the commandments out.” “Well, what if I have?”' said old Ob stinacy, as he ran his eye ‘complacently over his work, “ what if 1 have ? There’s more there now than you’llkeep!” Another and a more correct artist was employed the next day.
