A Slight Mistake. A capital story is told of a young fel low who one Sunday strolled into a vil lage church, and during the services was electrified and gratified by the sparkling of a pair of eyes which were riveted upon his lace. Alter tho service he saw the possessor-of the seining orbs leave the church alone, and emboldened by her glances, be ventured to follow her, his heart aching with rapture. He saw her look behind, and fancied she evinced some emotion at recognizing him. He then quickened his pace, and she actually slack ened hers, as if to let him come up with her but we will permit the young gen tleman to tell the rest in his own way : "Noble young creature !" thought I. ! "Her artless and warm heart is superior to the bonds cf custom." I had reached within a stone's throw of her. She suddenly halted and turned her face toward me. My heart swelled to bursting. I reached the spot where she stood ; she began to speak, and I took off my hat as if doiug reverence to an an gel. "Are you a pedlar?" she said. "No, my dear girl, that is not ray oc cupation." "Well, I don't know," continued she, not very bashfully, and eyeing me very sternly. "1 thought when 1 saw you in j the meeting-house that you looked like a 1111 1 rv 1 f 1 1 peddler who passed off a pewter half dol lar on me three weeks ago, and so I de tcrmioed, to keep an eye on you. Broth er John has come home now, and says if he catches the fellow he'll wring his neck for him; and I ain't sure but you're the good for-nothing rascal after all." The Mischief of Passion. "Will putting one's self in a passion mend the matter ?" said an old man to a boy, who had picked up a stone to throw at a Jog. The dog only barked at him in play. "Yes, it will mend the matter," said the passionate boy, and quickly dashed the stone at the dog. The animal thus enraged, sprang at the boy, and bit hia leg; while the stone bouuded against a shop-window, and broke a pane of glass. Out ran the shop-keeper, and seized the boy, and made him pay for tho bro ken pane. He had mended the matter, finely, indeed ! It never did, and it never will, mend a matter to get into a passion about it. If the thing be bard to bear wheu you are calm, it will be harder when you are in a passion. If you Lave met with a loss, you will only increase it by losing your temper. Try to be calm, especially in trifling troubles, and. when "reat ones ceine, try to bear them bravely. If 20 grains make a scruple, how many will make a doubt? If 7 days make ono week, bow many will make one strong ? Have I not told you over and over a If 5$' yards make a pole how many will ! gain, you incorrigible, bad boy, not to pour make a Turk? If three miles make a the whole of your tea into your saucer? league, how many will make a confedera-! cv ? If four ouaters make a yard, how ma- ny will jnake a garden ? o Two vounjr fellows got to bantering each other the other day. Finally, one of them exclaimed. "Well there's one thing you can't put yoiu'ead iuto an empty proofs and injuuetioua to make that bear barrel." "Oh, nonsense," exclaimed the ing of them all in mind was a thing im othcre, "why can't I?" "Because," dry- possible. As to pouring out all his tea at ly lcjoined the first, "it is an impossibility a time, he had no recollection of any in to put a hogshead into a barrel." tcrdiction en that subject, although it STROUDSBURG, MONROE Speak Gently. cc I am entirelv at W i.A vftw .wW" ana ?umea Ins place at the to do with that boy," said Mrs. Uurton to her husband, with much concern nn hor face and in an anxious tone of voi T never yield to his imperious temper; I', , f u"lW Jl, "V never indulge him in anything; I th ink !

A hile Mrs. Burton wa3 speaking, a bright active boy, eisht vears of ae came dashing into the room, and, without heed ing any one, commenced beating with two large sticks ajrainst one of the win- dow-sills and making a deafening noise. " Incorrigible boy!" exclaimed his moth er, going quickly up to him, and jerking me sticks out ot his haud, " can I teach you neither manners nor decency? I have low you a hundred times that when you come into a room where any one is sitting you must be quiet. Get up stairs this moment, and do not let me see vour face for an hour!" The boy became sulky in an instant. and stood where he was, pouting sadly. l Did you hear what I said, get up stairs this moment!" Mrs. Burton spoke iu a very angry tone, and looked up quite as angry as she Slowly moved the boy toward the door. a scowl darkening his lace, that was but moment before so bright and cheerful. His steps were too deliberate for the over- excite leehng of the mother; she sprao toward him, and seizing him by the arm,!6ay a word ou the subject, but he feared pushed mm from the room and closed the door loudly after him. I declare I am out of all heart !" she exclaimed sinking down upon a chair. " It is line upon line and precept upon prccepr, out ail to no good purpose. That boy will break my heart yet!" Mr. Burton said nothing, but he saw plainly enough that it was not all the child's fault. lie doubted the use of speaking out and saying this unequivo cally, although he had often and often been on the pointof doingso iuvoluntarily. He knew the temper of his wife so well, and her peculiar sensitiveness about ev erything that looked like charging any fault upon herself that he feared more harm than good would result from an at tempt on his part to show her that she was much more than half to blame for the boy's perverseness of temper. Once or twice the little fellow showed himself at the door but was driven back with harsh words until the hour for tea arrived. The sound of the tea bell caus ed au instant oblivion of all the disagree able impressions made on his mind. His little feet answered the welcome summons with a clatter that stunned tho ears of his mother. " Go back, sir!" she said, sternly, as he burst open the dining-room door, and snt it swinning with a loud concussion against the wall, and see if you cannot walk down stairs more like a bov than a horse." Master Henry withdrew, pouting out his rocy lips to the distauce of nearly an inch. He went up one flight of stairs, and then returned. " Go up to the third story where you first started from, and come down quietly all the way, or you shall not have a mouthful of supper." " I do not want to," whined the boy. " Go up, I tell you, this instant, or I will send you to bed without anything to eat." This was a threat which former m i . i expe- rience had taught him might De execu ted, and so he deemed it better to submit than pay too dearly for having his own way. The distance to the third story was made in a few light springs, and then he "came pattering down a3 lightly, and took his place a the table, quietly, but silently. " There there, not too fast; you have plenty to eat, and time enough to eat in." Harry settled himself down to the table as quietly as bis mercurial spirits would let him, aud tried to wait until he was helped, but in spite of all his efforts to do so, his hand went over into the bread basket. A look from his mother caused him to drop the slice he had raised; it was not a look in which there was much affection. While waiiing to bo helped his hands were busy with his kVife and fork, making a most unpleasant clatter. " Put down your hands!" harshly spo ken, remedied this evil, or rather sent the active movement from the little fellow's hands to his feet, thatcommenced a swing ing motion, his heels striking noisily against the chair. " Ieep your feet still?" caused this to cease. After one ot two more reproofs, the boy was left to himself. As soon as he received his cup of tea he poured the en tire contents into the saucer, and theu tried to lift it steadily to his lips. In do ing so he spilled one-third pf the contents upon the table cloth A box on the ears and a storm of angry words rewarded his feat. j m . - ... Just see what a mesa you have made with that clean tablecloth? I declare 1 am out of all patience with you? Go away from the table this instant: Harry went crying away", not in anger, but iu grief. He had spilled bis tea accident. His mother had so many by re- COUNTY, PA., JANUARY 17, 1867. hadieen made over and oTcr again very often. In a little while he" came creeping ill, , . ! f hls CGS Q ? ui ! 1urt0? was s.orr that had sent him ! a.wa Jfom what was an accident; she felt j that she had hardly been just to the object to his coming back, and said, as he took his seat, " Next time see that you arc more careful. I have told you again and again not to fill your saucer to the brim; you never can do it without spill- mg the tea upon the table-cloth." This was not spoken in kindness. A scene somewhat similar to this was enacted at every meal; but instead of im proving iu his behavior the boy grew more and more heedless. 3Ir. Burton rarely said anything to Harry about his unruly manner, but when he did, a word was enough. That word was always mildly yet firmly spoken, lie did not think him a bad boy or difficult to man age at lest he had never found him so. " I wish I knew what to do with that child," said Mrs.. Uurton, after the little fellow had beeu sent to bed an hour be fore his time, in consequence of some vi olation of law and order; " he makes me constantly feel uuhappy. I dislike to be scolding him forever, but what can I do? If I did not curb him in some way there would be no living in the house with him. I am afraid he will cause us a of trouble." great deal Mr. Burton was silent. lie wanted to that its effect might not be what he de- sired. " I wish vou would advise me what to lo, Mr. Burton," said his wife, a little (petulantly. " You sit, and do not say a single word, as if you had no kind of in terest in the matter. What am I to do? I have exhausted all my own resources, and fee! completely at a loss." "There is a way, which, if you would adopt it, I think might do good." Mr. Burton'spokc with a slight appearance of hesitation. " If you would speak gently to Harry, T am sure you would be able to manage him far better than you do." Mrs. Burton's face was crimsoned in au instaut; she felt the reproof deeply; her self-esteem was severely wounded. " Speak gently, indeed!" she replied, " I might as well speak to the wind; I am scarcely heard now at the top of my voice." As her husband did not argue the mat- ! ter with her, nor say anything that was calculated to keep up the excitement un der which she wa3 laboring, her feelings, in a little while, quieted down, and her thoughts became active. The words, " speak gently," were constantly in her mind, and there was a reproving import in them. On going to bed that night she could not to sleep for several hours; her nind was too busily engaged in reviewing her conduct toward her child. She clear ly perceived that she too frequently suf fered her mind to get excited and angry, and that she was tften annoyed at tri fles which ought to haveieen overlooked. " I am afraid I have been uujust to my child," she sighed over and over again, turning restlessly upon her pillow. . " I will try and do better," she said to herself as she rose iu the morning, feeling but little refreshed from sleep. Before she was ready to leave her room she heard Harry's voice calling her from the next chamber where he slept. The tones were fretful; be wanted some attendance, and was crying out for it in a manner that in stantly disturbed the even surface of the mother's feelings. She was about telling him, angrily, to be quiet until she could finish dressing herself, when the words, " speak gently," seemed whispered iu her ear. Their effect was magical; the moth er's spirits wa subdued. " 1 will speak gently," ho murmured, and went into Harry, who was still crying out fretfully. " What do you want, my son," she said in a quiet, kind voice. The boy looked, up with surpriso; his eye brightened, aud the whole expression of his face was changed in an iustant. " I cannot find my stockings, mamma," he said. " There they arc, under the bureau," returned Mrs. Burton, as gently as she had at first spoken. " Oh yes, so they are!" cheerfully re plied Harry: " I could not see them any where." " Did you think crying would bring them?" This was said with a smile, and in a tone so unlike his mother, that the child looked up again iuto her face with sur prise that was, Mrs. Burton plaiuly saw, mingled with pleasure. - "Do you want anything else?" she asked. " No mamma," lie replied cheerfully, "I can dress myself." This first little effort was crowned with the most encouraging results to the moth er; she felt a deep peace settling in her bosom, the consciousness of having gain ed a true victory over tho perverse ten dencies of both her own heart and that of her boy. It was a little act, but it was the first fruits, and the gathering, even of so small a harvest, was sweet to her spirit. Por the first time in many mouths the breakfast table was pleasaut to all. Har ry never once interrupted the conversa tion that passed at intervals between his father and mother. When he asked for auythiug it was in a way pleasing to all. Ouce or twice Mrs. Burton found it nec essary to correct some little fault in man ner, but the way in which she did it did not in the least disturb her child's tem per, and instead of not seeming to hear her words, as had almost always been the case, he regarded 11 that was said, and tried to do all she wished. " There is a wonderful power in gentle words." remarked Mr. 71 after Harry had left the table. "Yes, wonderfuPindeed; their effect surprises me." " Love is strong." Days, weeks, months and years went by; during all this time the mother con continued to strive very earnestly with herself, and very kindly with her child. The happiest results followed; the fretful, passionate, disorderly boy became even minded and orderly in his habits. A word gently spoken, wa3 all powerful in its influence for good, but the least shade of harshness would arouse his stubborn will and deform his fair young face. Whenever mothers complain to Mrs. Burton of the difficulty they find in man aging their children, she has erne piece of advice to give, and that is, " command yourself, aud speak gently." Western Simplicity. Western simplicity not'grccnness,but genuine candor ot character is to be seen in the following incident furnished some time since by a Westcru correspon dent : In a wild Western neighborhood the sound of church-going bells had never been heard ; notice was given that the Rev. Mr. A , a distinguished Pres byterian divine, should preach oa a cer tain day. The natives, who consisted mainly of those hardy pioneers who have preceded civilization, came to hear him. They had an indistinct idea that "preachiu" was something to be heard, and attended to hear it. After service had begun, a raw bound hunter with rifle in hand, and all the ac coutrements of the chase about him, en tered and took the only vacant seat a nail keg without either head. The cur rent of the preacher's thoughts led him into a description of heaven and its in habitants. With great pofrcr he had drawn a pic ture of the habitation of the blessed, and was assigning each of the patriarchs, apost les and prophets, his appropriate place. His Calvauistic tendencies led him tore serves the Apostle Paul forthc climac teric. With his eye fixed upon the high est point, and with an upward gesture that seemed to be directed to the loftiest altitude of the heavenly places, he said ' "And where, my brcthern, shall we seat the great Apostle Paul?" Then pausing to give the imagination time to reach the elevatiou designed for the Apostle, ho fixed his eyes upon our hero of the rifle He, rose therefore thinking the address personal, rose in stantly, and then replied : "If he can't do any better he can take my scat." It is needless to say thathis climax was never reached. Drinking for Solace or Comfort This is the most dangerous of all the motives by which the moderate drinker is influenced. It is absolutely false ; and acting at a time when mo;t likely to de ceive, the young mau or the middle-aged, thinking that excitement is a release from care and sorrow, renew their potations to increase the effects and are lost before they dream of danger. Charles Reade says, "No man or no woman is safe who has once formed the habit to drink for solace, or cheerfulness, or comfort. While the world goes well th'ey wilt likely be temperate ; but the habit i3 built, the" railroad to destruction is cut. ready for use, the rails arc laid down, the station houses erected, and the train is on the lino waiting ouly forfhc locomotive ; it comes to us ; it grapples us, and away we go in a moment, down the line we have been years constructing, like a flash of lightning, to destruction." Nation. Love Your Enemies. Some years since a clergymen in Litch field county was reproving an old Indian for his cruel and revengeful conduct to words them that had offended him. "You should love your enemies," observ ed the parson, "and preserve an affection for those that hurt you." "I do love my enemies," retorted tho son of nature, "and have a great affection for them that hurt me." "No such thing," retorted the clergy man, "you don't love your enemies." "I do." "Who are the enemies you love ?" "Bum and cider !" A Constable was statioucd at the door of the hustings to prevent the crowd from foreiug their way among the candidates. A geutleuian came up to him, and put ting a shilling iuto his band, said, with an attempt to put off the smallneis of the donation, "L take it for granted there is a little corruption here." 'Yes sir," said tho constable, looking at tho shilling, "but this is too little !" . Bsautiful Sentiment. When the H indoo priest is about to bap ties nn infant, he utters tho following beautiful sentiment : "Little babe, thou euterest the world weeping, while all around smile ; contrive so to live, that you may popart iu smiles while all around you weep. .0 Opportunities like eggs must be hatch ed when thev are fresh, NO. 43. Water will not Drown. All travelers, writes a correspondenf, have mentioned with astonishment tho peculiar buoyancy of the water of Great Salt Lake, and it U truly surprising. No danger of shipwreck need ever cross tho miud of those who navigate this lake, for it would be simply impossible for them to sink if thrown overboard. With my hands clasped together under my head, and my feet crossed, I floated jon tho very surface of the lake with at least one third of my body above water. Upon a warm summer's day there would not bo the slighest difficulty ia going to sleep upou the lake, and allowing yourself to be blown about as the wind permitted ; only one would need an umbrella to keep off the rays of the sun. It has been stated that three buckets of this water will yield one buckets of solid salt, but inasmuch as water will not hold above twenty-five per cent, of saline matter in solution, and if more be added it is instantly deposited upon the bottom, this estimate is, of course, too large. Oa inquiring of the Mormons engaged in procuring salt, thoy unanimously stated that for every five buckets of water they obtained one bucket of salt, which gives the proportion as no less than twenty per cent. No visitor to the lake should omit the bath ; the sensation in the water is most luxurious, and leads one to think himself floating in air. On the way back to the city it will be a3 well for the bath er to stop at the superb sulpher baths just out-side the town, and remove the salino incrustations which will have formed up on him, by a plunge into the fine swim ming bath, whose only objection is its pe culiar ordor and its great heat, which re quires a large admixture of cold water. Learn All You Can. Never omit any opportunity -to learn all you can. Sir Walter Scott said that, even in a stage coach, he always found somebody who could tell him something he did not known before. Conversation is frequently more useful than books for purposes of knowledge. It is, therefore, mistake to be morose and silent among persons whom you think to be ignorant ; for a little sociability ou your part will draw them out, and they will be able to teach you something, no matter how or dinary their employment. Indeed, some of the mo3t sagacious re marks are made by persons of this des cription, respecting their particular pur suit. Hugh Miller, the Scotch geologist, owes not a little of his lame to observa tions made when he was journeyman stone mason and working in a quarry. Socrates well said that there was but one good, which is knowledge, and one evil, which is ignorance. Every grain of sand goes to make the heap. A gold-digger takes the smallest nuggets, and is not fool enough to throw them away because ho hopes to find a huge lump some time. So in acquiring knowledge ; we should; never despise an opportunity, however unpromisiug. If there is a moment's leis ure, spend it over good or instructive con versation with the first you oAet. A Sister. lie who has never known a sister's kind ministratiou, nor felt his heart warming beneath her endearing smile and love- ' beaming eye, has been unfortunate in deed. It is not to be wondered if the fountains of pure feeling flow in his bo som but sluggishly, or if the gentler emo tions of his nature be lostia the sterner attributes of manhood. "That man ha grown up among kind? and affectionate sisters," we once heardi lady of much observation and experience remark. "And why io you think so?" said we. "Because of the rich development of all the tenderer and more refined feelings of the heart, which are so apparent ia every word." A sister's iufluence is felt even in man hood's later years ; and the he irt of hiia who has grown cold in his chilling con tact with the world, will warm and thrill with pure enjoyment, as some incident awakes within him the soft ton3 and glad" melodies of his sister's voice. And ha will turn from his purposes, which a warped and false philosopher has reason ed into expediency, and even weep for the gentler influences which moved him ia his earlier years. Silent Influence. The Bev. Albert Barucs says : ''It is the bubbling stream that flows gently ; the little rivulet which runs along- day and night by the farm house, that is use ful, rather than the swollen flood or war ring cataract. Niagara excites our wond er and we stand amazed at tli9 power and greatness of God there; as he pours ia from the hollow of hia hand. But one Niagara ii euough for the coutinent ot tho world, while the same world requires thousands and tens of thousauds of silver fouutains and gently flowing rivulets that water every farm aud meadow, and every garden, and shall flow on every day and night with their guntle, quiet beauty. So with the acts of our lives. It is not by great de?ds, like those of the martyrs, good is to be doue, but by the daily and quiet virtues of life, tho Christian tem per, the good qualities of relatives and friends. A Prussian Soldier receives six cent daily but after tho first of Jauuary, is to receive seven cents. Heavy wages, tesTUeaJ ihe newspapers.
