from the enchantment of sweet idleness,
the longed for rest and freedom of those

her face homeward—to the daily toil and

left behind ! Poor Rhoda! It seems only

lifted to the rough lips like a queen's.

About a month after her return from

the late evening, tired and dusty, but with
a cheerful smile for her mother, and a kiss

The Time to Save.
The speculative mania which seems to
have broken out ail over the country with
the return of commercial prosperity un
1 , -ss cheered or restrained will eertaink
precipitate, S I,ffier or later, another fi.lau
cial collapse. It seems strange that our
people shfiald have learned nothing from
the bitter experience of the last six or
seven years, but so it is. The same wen
who passed through the panic of 1873 are
rushing again into all kinds of enterpf ices
with the idea apparently, that an era of
universal money waking is at baud Many
of them, probably, will draw prizes from
the lottery, but sate will lose thf-ir mou
ey. A general break down may follow the
overproduction resulting from this condi
tins of affairs, and the country will then
be forced to again un lergo a period of
commercial depression. In this respect
the United States but follows in the foot
steps of o her nations. Throughout the
commercial world periods of inflation and
depression suecred one another as regularly
aft night follows day Instead. thef
of launching out into new exnenditufes.
the prudent man will husband his resour
Ces on the theory that it is to wake up his
deficiencies when the period of depression
comes. If every one w •uld bear this ceo
nowic truth in mind, the c instantly recur
ring "panics" would be less frequent and
much less severe than they have been in
the past. Unfortunately, the American
people have not yet learned that in time
of prosper ay the true policy is i o save and
not to speculate.

there are evidencrs of extensive repairs by

A Visit to Andersonville.
A correspondent of the Boston Herald
who recently visited the site of the prison
at Andereonvill • writes as follows : "An
derson is the name of the station on the
Southwestern Railroad, about sixty miles,
or two h-urs' ride. fr m Macon. It is
nothing but a railroad station, and the
only other thing beside the railroad which
characterizes the spot is the immense
Union cemetery of some twenty acres, over
which floats the star spangled banner.
The cemetery is constructed on the spot
where the prisoners were buried, and the
trenches were dug with such precision and
regularity that the soldiers were not gen
erally disturbed, but allowed to remain as
their comrades interred them, working no
! der the watchful eyes and the fixed bay°•
meta of the Georgia home guard. The
cemetery is surrounded by a stoat brick
wall, with an iron gate, and is under the
supervision of a superintendent, who lives
on the grounds. It is a plain spot. There
is not much attempt made to ornament
this city of our martyred dead. It would
take a great deal of even such influences
as plants and flowers possess to dispel the
melancholy memories that haunt this hill
in the pine woods of south Georgia.
"The cemetery is much visited by north
ern travelers, and the register in the su
perintendent's lodge contains many or Inge
inscriptions beside the names of the visi

flor the murderer of her brother. who sleeps
in the cemetery Sentiments of passionate
denunciation are ware frtcpient. Gees
pionaPy a wan who was in the stockade
turns up among the visitors. These men,
whatever their natural temper, the super
intendent says, can almost be di,tinguish
ed by the effects of fear, dread and vivid
rec.dlect ions, which come back like a shock
into their faces as they again Rand on the
now quiet and sunlit scene of tbeir war
experiences.
-In the cemetery the ground is of a
general level, and the gilt..., s of the known
and unknown, properly separated, range
in rows closely laid, as far as the eye can
reach. There are actually buried on this
elevation 13.715 men. The soldier whose
identity was preserved by his comrades is
marked in his resting place by a white
marble stone, rising eighteen inches above
the level of the ground. A square marble
block with the word 'Unknown' on it is
repeated about one thousand times in the
cemetery. There was nn necessity for the
contractor to swell his bill with mule bones
in filling up the burial place There were
bones and millions of bones ; bones ready
at hand when he began his work to occupy
him till long after he was wearied with it
and longed to see it done.
"Part of the stockade is still standing.
There were two rows of trees—one inside
the other. The outer tow has fallen down
save a tew posts here and there, but a large
part of the inner wall still stands. Trees
have grown up around the old pen, and a
thick growth of underbrush now covers
the sight the prison. No traces of ►he
famous brook that ran through the stock
ade remain, nor of the wonderful welt dug
by the prisoners. It is all now a mild and
peaceful section of country. Many of the
soldiers in the cemetery have handsome
headstones lifted to their memory by
friends in the north, and efforts are fre
quently made to have certain graves 'kept
green' with flowers and a shower pot."
Her Idea of Education.
A lady of wealth and refinement, speak
ing with us the other day in regard to the
education of her daughters—two bright
girls just budding into womanhood—said:
'-1 desire for them. first of all, that they be
Christian women ; then, that thy be good
heusekeepers—mistresses of all that tends
to make a happy home; then, that they
have a good, substantial education; and
then that they possess such accomplish.
menus as they have leisure or iodination
to acquire." Such an utterance should
be uow.mhy of note or comment;
for the wishes expressed are 'so obvious•
ly Christian, and so obviously seusi
ble, that every Christian mother should
desite for her daughters just those things
and in ju-t that ord• r. But to put Chris
tianity first and the aecomplistiments last
is shut every Christian mother—especially
it she be a woman A . wealth and s. , ctal po
sition—doesn't do And to provide io her
scheme of education for instruction in
housekeeping. to place the homely arts that
make home happy next to the Gospel of
Christ, is sourethiog exceptional for a
mother who mows in what is called "the
best society."
Vet many a home is rendered miserable,
many a household ultimately broken up,
because those domestic tastes are not ac
quired to which our friend, in planning
the education of her daughters, assigned
so high a rank And this neglect. is not
confioeil to the wealthy and aristocratic
alone—to those who can reasonably hops
for an abundance of well trained servants,
make home at least endurable; but
characterizes almost squally those who are
sure to need, if they ever wairy. a thor
