Lasbyear I went to Europe on moofxhe finest vessels that ever llowe the Atlantic We had very wautiful we-ather until very near the end of the voyage, then came a most terrific storm that would tmve wnk all on botird had it not been r thq captain. Every spar was laid low the rud der almost useless, and a great leak shown itself, threatening to fill the ship. The crew were all strong, ""illing men, and the mates were U practical seamen of the first class; but after pumping for one whole ft'ght and still the water was gain upon them, they gave up in Impair, and prepared to take to the boats,! though they might have knowq that no small boat could uverbde such sea. The Captain, ho had been below with his charts, w came up. He saw how matters stwd.i and with a voice that I heard aoove the roar of the tempest, he ordered every man to his post. It was surprising to see all 1 those tten bow before the strong will of! their captain and hurry back to their pumps. j The captain then starts itnor tn ntmine the leak. As he passed .

' We characterize a portion of our ? national domain as The Great ! West. The South, by its extent of i territory .and the magnitude of its I interests and capacities, deserves no i riKiiiuiuiii, a hi jiii an area 01 neany a million square miles anf eiiM "more than seven times larger than Great Britain and with 4 list of tropical plants that play a gnnd part in the commerce of the wtirld, it demands the lar gest recognition." So say the publishers of Scri brier's Monthly.; They miirht have added ! that for its history, KIitical, social Jand military, as well as for its area ; and productions, the South better deserves the title "Great" than the Wet. Hut this would h;ive been U'side their purpose, which is, not t draw invidious comparisons, but to rail tliei attention of the world, and especially of the North, to the resources 6f one grand section, and by showing its value as an impor tant factor of the national economy. to stimulate the restoration of thost close commercial interests by which all portions of the country must ul timately be organically united. To thiWend they have enlisted theserviefs of Mr. Edward King, well known as the author of My Pakis, and a graphic delineator of life and manners, to prejwrea series of twelvu articles to apear in twelve successive numlers of Scri li ner's -Monthly, on the Life, Condi tion and ltes4urces of the Southern States. This is justly regarded as one of the! largest and most impor tant enterprises ever undertaken by an American magazine. Mr. King has been engaged, dur ing the entire, winter, in preparing material for his articles by travel and !rsonal inspecti4n of the Southern tates. The fin?t of the series may le expectetl early this spring, rrhese articles "will In brilliantly illustrated, and will be written with no other object than that of representing, by pen and pencil, one of the most interesting, fruitful and picturesque regions of ourcommjon country.

It appears that the following question was iutT-4-" A Jew discounts a bill of 180. drawn at lour monins, ai GO per cent, per annum, and insists on giving in part payment five dozen of wine, which he charges at four guineas a dozen, and a picture which he charges at 12. .How much ready money does he pay? If the cost to the Jew of the wine and the picture be only one-fourth of the sum he has charged for them, what is the real interest the Jew has beerti charging?" The Jewish Chronicle declares that this is ' 4 an insult to our nation and creed." Flowers' in the Track of War. There is something singular and quite romantic to those sober folks, the botanists, in the fact that the track ofjthe Prussian armies in France, tpeir camping grounds, the siege lines and bivouacs are marked with flVers, not the familiar flow ers of France, but of the Fatherland. Even Ground Paris is this phenom enon apparent. Hundreds of flow ers, unknown hitherto to the soil, but dear to the German heart, so that the Prussian army, formerly tracked by bloody fields, wrecked ambulances, and all the horror and confusion of war. can now be fol- lowed by the strange flower bloom- ing in the lanes and fields and the borders of the vineyards. ; A Great Man.

Necessity has the eople. We can only repeat compelled experience in the case of two of them from memory, v An English regiment in India had had its colors (notuingbut a square yard of bunting, of course,) taken aytiy from it for feome act of insubordfna- tion. i -f Every man had his rations and pay as usual, and no physical pun- ishment of any sort was added! to the ideal one mentioned.

Coarse, illiterate, brutal fellows, perhaps they were. -Why should any of them mind the taking away of a regimental :flaflfJr -Com- mon sense would laugh at such a punishment for such men. But the commander knew what he was about. A fort was to be stormed :at the top of a long hill. The enter- prise was a peculiarly perilous one, and one that required something more than ordinary courage and mlitiaiy iH-rsistence. The. com- mandinir officer rode down the litie to the iosition occupied by the (lis- graced regiment. " Men !" he cried, ' your colors are at the top of the hill charge!" '& And charge they did, that single regiment, up the long, cannon- wept hill, through the abattis.over the ramparts, i tiro the fort at lastia mere handful of them left to receive the flag again, for which more than two-thirds of the brave fellows had gladly given their lives! There was no common sense in the matter, else the fort never could have bethi taken at all. The poetry in .the souls of those' rough soldiers over bore that, and who shall say that the pfK'tic was not the worthier and more manly view? . l S4me of the warlike tribes in India, when one of their men falls in battle, after showing extraordin ary courage, decorate his wrists with a red silk thread if he be; a private, a narrow ribbon if he be an officer, and a broader one ns the rank of the dead rises.

An English army marching upon Luck now came upon a strong hill-fort which it was necessary to reduce.

Ii - Sewing' on Buttons. the former, but the Jutter has always depended upon some one else for this service, and fortunately for the Isako of society, it is rarely he is I obliged to resort to the needle him- self. Sometimes the patient wife scalds her right hand, or runs a sliver under the nail of the index finger of that hand, and it is then the man clutches the needle around - the neck, and forgetting to tie a - I knot in the thread commences to put on the button. It is always in the morning., and from five to twenty minutes after he is expected to be down in the, street. lie lays the button exactly on the site of its predecessor, and pushes the needle through one eye and carefully draws .the thread after, leaving about three inches of it sticking up for tne lee way. lie says to himself: "Well, if women don't have the easiest time I ever see." Then he ! comes back the other wav, and gets the needle through the cloth well j enough, and lays himself 4ut to find the eye, but in spite of a great deal of patient jabbing, the needle point persists in bucking against the solid part of that button, ami finally, when he loses patience, his finger catches the thread, ami that three inches he had left to hold the but ton slips through the eye in a twinkling, and the button mils leisurely across the floor. He picks it up without a single remark out of respect for his children, and makes another attempt t4 fasten it. This time when coming bacK with the needle he keeps both the thread and button from slipping by cover ing them with his thumb, and it is out of regard for that part of him that he feels around for the eye in a very careful and judicious manner, but eventually losing his philosophy as the search becomes more and more hoeIess, he falls t4 jabbing about in a loose and savage manner, and it is just thep tha needle finds the opening, and; conns up through the button and part way through Ids thumb with a celerity that no human ingenuity can guard against. Then he lays down the things, with a few familiar quotations, and presses the injured hand between his knees, and then holds it under the arm, and finally jams it into his mouth, and all the while he prances about the floor, and calls upon heaven and earth to witness tha; there has never been anything like it since the world was created, and howls, and whistles, and moans, and sobs. After a while he calms down, and puts on his pants, and fastens them together with a suck. j and goes to his business a changed man. Man and Wite. Thomas Jeiferson wrote the fol lowing excellent advice. There is much nature and good sense in it: ' "Harmony in the human state is i the very first to be aimed at. Noth- ing can preserve affections uninter rupted but a hrm resolution eacn to ' consider the love of others of more value than any object whatever on which a wish had been fixed. How light, in fact, is the sacrifice of any other wish when weighed against the affections of one with whom we are to pass our whole life! And though opposition in a single in stance will hardly of itself produce alienation, yet every one has their pouch into which all these little op positions are put ; while that is fill ing, the alienation is insensibly going on, and when filled it is com plete. It would puzzle either tc say whv. because no one difference of opinion has been marked enough to produce a serious effect by (itself. But he finds his affections wearied out by a constant stream of little checks and obstacles. Other sources of discontent, very common indeed, are the little cross-purposes of hus band ami wife in common conver sation, a disposition in either to criticise and question whatever the other says, a desire always to de monstrate and make him feel him self in the wrong, especially in com pany. Nothing is so goading. Much better, therefore, if our com panion view a thing in a light dif ferent from what we do, to leave him in quiet possession of his views. What is the use of rectifying him if the thing Ikj unimportant? Let it pass for the present, and wait a softer moment ami more concilia tory occasion of reviving the subject together. It is wonderful how many persons are rendered unhappy by inattention to these little rules of prudence." Bishop Coxe upon Hayti. St. Luke's Church, in Rochester, was crowded to overflowing to hear Bishop Coxe's account of his mis sionary visit to the Island of Hayti. It can hardly be called a sermon, says the Uj-pres., and yet few mis sionary appeals under that head have been more leneficial in their design and effect. He convinced jTorknow ' 0' vf' ' his hearers or wnat the mostoi mem That ever at the doors of our Christian Ke- public. While he was celebrating the Christmas festivities in the little chapel of a devoted missionary, the abominable rites of paganism, the offering of little children to the Evil Sjjirit, were going on among tke distant hills of the interior, whose tops he could see from the chapel window. A mild and affectionate wife in Lancaster overheard an acquaint ance remark that her husband was too fond of " loo." She waited up for him that night, and when he came home asked to know if he had been spending his time with Loo. The unsuspecting, husba'nd admit ted that he had ; when, without giving him time to explain, she attacked him with a fire-shovel. The husband does not exactly re member how the interview ended, but he could never convince his wife cards. that " loo " .was a game at and always plays euchre now, and gets home before ten o'clock. .

' The editor of the1 Wabash Sentinel wants to know if ."the man who sent him a challenge to fight a duel means business; or whether his buz zard soul laughs at the ghastly joke." An Atrocious Ilahlt. There is a habit peculiar to many walkers, which Punch some years ago touched upon satirically, but which seems to have survived the jester's -ridicule. It is that custom of stopping friends , in the street, to whom we have nothing whatever to communicate, but whom we em barrass for no other purpose than simply to snow our inenosnip. Jones meets his friend Smith, whom he-has met in nearly the same lo cality but a few hours before. . Dur ing that interval it is highly prob able that no event ot any impor tance to Smith, nor indeed to Jones, which by a friendly con st ruct i on Jon es eo u 1 d i magi ne S ni i th to be interested in, has occurred, or is likely to occur. Yet both gentle men stop and shtike hands earnest ly. "Well, how goes it ?" remarks Smith, with a vague hope that something may have happened. "So, so." replies the eloquent Jones, feeling intuitive' v the deep vacuity of his friend answering to ids ofenH A pause ensues, in which both gen tlemen regard each other with an imbecile smile ami a fervent pres sure of the hand. Smith draws a long breath and l(xks up the street. Jones sighs heavily and gazes down the street. Another pause, in which both gentlemen disengage their respective hands and gjance anxiously around for some conven tional avenue. Finally, fSmith, (with a sudden assumption of hav ing forgotten an important engage ment) ejaculates, "Well, I must lie otf," a remark instantly echoed by the voluble Jones, and these gentlemen separate, only to repeat their miserable formula the next day. In the above example I have compassionately shortened the usual leave-taking, which in skillful hands, may be protracted to a length which I shudder to recall. I have sometimes, when an active partici pant in those atrocious transactions, lingered in the hope of saying some thing natural to my friend (feeling that he, too, was gnping in the mazy labyrinths of his mind for a like expression,) until I have felt that we ought to have been separated by a policeman. It is astonishing how far the most wretched joke will go in these emergencies, and how it will, as it were, convulsively detach the two cohering particles. I have laughed (albeit hysterically) at some witticism under cover of which I escaped, that five minutes afterward 1 could not perceixe pos sessed a grain of humor. I wouhi advise any person wno may fall into this pitiable strait that next to getting in the way of a passing dray and being forcibly disconnected, j; joke is the most efficacious. A for eign phrase often may be tried with success. I have sometimes known au revoir pronounced "o-revetr" to have the etfeet (as it ought) of sev ering friends. Bret Harte. Learn a Trade. The prospect for wealth and posi tion to-day is brighter to any young man of ability and ambition, who will- learn well and thoroughly a good trade, thaii for any one who attempts to crowd into the profes sions. The country is sadly in want of mechanics who combine skill with intelligence. Not a workshop or manufactory can. be found t4-day where they are not needed. Not a manufacturing or mechanical es tablishment exists in the country which is not deficient, some way Oi otheri" in skilled assistance. It is the skillful, intelligent mechanic who fs most in demand, and hence none of them are to be found who are not profitably em ployed. Wealth is rapidly accumulated by such men, who devote themselves to the various mechanical pursuits, or to the production of articles which are regarded in the sense of necessities by the community. Tho pressing demand of the day is not for mere ornament, but for those who, by the labor of hand and brain combined, are able to make capital productive. Our advice to young men is to earnestly apply themselves to the acquisition of such knowledge as will enable them to supply the ever-increasing demand for skilled labor, thereby not only laying the foundation for future personal pros perity, but at the same time ren dering a high and permanent benefit to the community. Boston Globe. " Take One." IIoxc a Small Boy Increased the Bus iness of a Denver Fruit Vender. A small boy on Blake street made a sensation for a short time this morning, by quietly transferring a card, bearing the words " take one," from a lot of handbills, in front of a well known stor3 t4 a basket of oranges.

With " murder in his heart," he rushed for the retreating party. As good luck would have it, his eye hit upon the " orange de partment " before he reached his object. This told the story. Plain as eye could read, there was the in vitation, " take one." liy a power ful effort our friend mastered his wrath and p4cketed his loss ; but he swears, by all the gods at once, that he will never have another label with "take one " printed thereon unless he gees into the drug or hardware business, or there is an epidemic among the masculine youth of Denver. Denver Tribune. There is a man in Camden, N. J., who is provoked. He is absent minded. A few nights since he went to drive his cow. Arriving at the pasture ground, he found that the cow was gone, but the bell which should have been around her neck was lying on thegnumd. He placed it in his pocket and forgot all about it. Every now and then it would give a smothered jingle, and he would think it was the cow, and would start off in a fresh direction. He followed the bell, as he thought, until twelve o'clock that night, and walked -twenty miles. - When he reached home, the cow had been there five or six hours, and his wife went over to the city to advertise in the ' Lost and Found " column of t he Ledger. " Perhaps he wasn't mad when lie fvund that bell Jn his pocket! His wife thinks he was a little extravagant in talking about the affair, but then she may be mis taken. ' - s ... , , Sympathy. To find one ; who has passed through f life without sorrow; you must find one incapable ;of love or hatred, of hope or fear one that hath no memory of the past and no thought of the future one that hath no sympathy with humaryty sand no feeling in common with the rest of the species. f Strikingly Keautiful. Spreading rapidly through the Western papers, under credit to the Literary Journal, is a domestic story in the very latest style of American humor, as the appended extract shows : A NEW CASABIAXCA. Ihe man looked at his boy proud ly, sternly, sorrowfully. The lad looted into his father's face sadly, exultingly, heroically. It was a living tableau no artist could repro duce. "Billy," said the father. gravely, "I took your mother and sister to church yesterday. " "Yes, sir." Ancl-lett you to see to the things." "Yes, sir," replied the y Kzing out through the window at the flicker as it hatched down the gate-post and finally dropped into the grass with a shrill chirp. "And you didn't water the pig.?",4"0-o-o ! Oh, sir! Geroody! Oh, me! Lawsy, lawsy me!" The slender scion of an apple tree rose and fell in the hand of Mr. Coulter, ami up from inejacKet or the lad, like incense from an altar, rose a cloud of dust, mingled with the nap of. jeans. Down in the young clover of the meadow the lark and sparrows san? j cheerily, the gnats and flies danced up and down in the sunshine, the fresh, soft leaves of the vines rus tled, and all was merry indeed. Billy's eyes turned up towards the face of his father in appealing ag ony, but still with a sharp hiss the switch cut the air, falling steadily and mercilessly on his shoulders. And along the green banks of the river the willows shook their shiny fingers at the lifting log, and the voices of children going by to school smote the sweet May wind. "Oh, pap, I'll not iorget tne pigs no more!" " 'Spect you won't neath fer." The wind, by a sudden putf, lifted into the room a shower of whiteblooms petals from a sweet apple tree, letting them fall grace fully upon the patch-work carpet, the while a ploughman whistled plaintively in a distant field. "Outch! Crackee! Oh,,pap, pap!" "Shut your mouth, or I'll split you to the backbone?" : How many de lightful places in the woods, how many C4ol spots beside the murmur ing river, would nave been more pleasant to Billy than the place he then occupied. "Oh, me! oh, me!" yelled the lad. Still the dust rose and danced in the slanting jet of sunlight that fell across the room, and the hens out at the barn cack led and sang for joy over new. eggs laid in choice places. At one time during the falling of the rod the girl quit washing, and thrusting her head into tne Kitchen said in a subdued tone, "My land ! ain't. Hut gitten' an awful one?" "You're mighty right," re plied ; the mother solemnly. Along towards the last Mr. Coulter tip-toed at every stroke. The switch actually screamed through the air as it fell. Billy danced. " Now, go, sir," cried the man, tossing the frizzed stump of the gad out of the window. " Go now ; and the next time you water them pigs." And, while the finch poured out a cataract of melody from the, locust, he went. Poor boy ! that wasa terrible thrash ing; and to make it worse it had been promised to him the evening oefore, so that he had been dreading it shivering over it all night. Now, as he walked through the breakfast room his sister looked at him in a commiserating way, but on passing through the kitchen he could not catch the eye of his mother. Finally he stood in the free, open air, in front; of the saddle-closets. It was just then a speckled n;oster on the barn-yard fence flopped his wings and crowed vociferously. A turkey-cock was strutting upon the grass by the old cherry tree. Billy opened the door of the closets. "A boy's will is the wind's will, and the thoughts of youth are long, ljng thoughts." Billy peeped into the closet, and then cast a glance about him, as if to see if anything was near. At length, during a pleasant lull in the nmrning wind, and While the low, tenderly mellow flow of the river was distinctly au dible, and the song of the finch in creased in volume, and the bleating of new lambs in the meadow died in fluttering echoes under the barn, and while the fragrance of .apple blooms grew fainter, and. while the sun, now flaming just above the eastern tree-trops, launched a show er over him, from head to foot, he took from under his jacket behind a double sheepskin, which, with an ineffable smile, he tossed into the closet. Then, as the yellow flicker rose rapidly from the grass Billy walked off, whistling the air of that once popular ballad Oh, give me back my fifteen cents!, It is not, generally known, per hapsj that the- United States has become the leading cheese produc ing country of the. world, and fur ther, that this supremacy has been achieved within a few years past. Twenty years ago we sent abroad about one million of pounds of cheese annually. In 1872 sixty million of pounds of American cheese . were shipped irom our shores. Ten years ago England and Holland were famous the world over . for the superiority of their cheeses. Now the epicures of Eu rope prefer the products of Ameri can yheese presses to "Stilton," " Chedder," and the once favorite brands of Holland. This will be sad news to our free traders, and one more argument for them in provingjhe pertinacity of our coun trymen in striving by all honorable means to turn the balance 01 trade in their favor. These strong friends of European enterprise can still point to the American consumption of foreign wines, silks and segars. i London has had an immense meeting, in two halls at. once, ' mostly elderly laymen," to pro test the value to piety of the An thanasian creed. Charles Kingsley, for instance, expects on this creed "a 'most potent and salutary influ ence, not only on the theology, but on the ethics, and on the sciences, physical and metaphysical, of ail English-speaking nations." The Spectator treats the agitation as resting on the assumption ofsacied ness in mere icords, making "an incantation, not a a "for mula of magic," instead of an ex planation of belief. The free-pew system for churches is finding many advocates, and not a few congregations have tried it with success and ' satisfaction. Among the latest adopters of -the plan are the Central and Plymouth Congregational churches In Phila delphia ; and in Toronto recently a Free and Open; Church Association was organized to eneourge the same system. Christian Union. -; "You -look like a bear," said a wife to her husband,; who had gone in his shaggy overcoat to take her from a party.

The following'twelve paragraphs are worthy of a place among the most valued rules that should gov ern a well regulated farm: 1. When fruit trees occupy the ground, nothing else should except very short grass. 2. Fruitfulness and growth of the tree cannot be expected the same year. 3. There is no plum that the cur culio will not take, though any kind may sometimes escape for one year in one place. 4. The best time to prune fruit trees is in the month of June. 5. Pear blight still puzzles the greatest men. . The best remedy known is to plant two for everyone that dies. G.

Just read this little piece, which I we take from the Philadelphia j Inquirer, and think over it : i Here is a nut for political econo-! mists to crack, be their proclivities ! Free Trade or Protection. From the middle of 18G2 to the hist of ! June, 1872, the generous United j States paid Paris the enormous sum j of $2GO,0(K),000. This somewhat ! staggering amount was forwarded j in gold, on account of jewelry, j laces, silks, gloves, crapes, merinos, j hats, human hair, and miscellane- j ous toilet articles. This very re- ! spectable bill does not include the gold forwarded from our shores to ! the French . metropolis for wines,; works of art, gentlemen's garments j ami fabrics from which to. make the same. There is not a single item in the aggregate of the $200,000,000 which could not have been produced at home, or been readily dispensed with, and that with great benefit, too,. not only to the purse, but to the health of the consumers. So long as our people prefer to enrich foreign rivals at the expense of do mestic industry, so long must gold be transmitted abroad to settle the balance of trade against us. With the exercise of .prudence and com mon sense, Europe could in a twelve month be made a debtor to us for cereals aud meats, which she cannot do without, and the stream of gold traversing the Atlantic from Janu ary to December be forced to reverse its current and flow hitherward. A- German poet has lately written a touching poem, in which the hero is represented as devoured by aili gators, under a palm tree, on the shore of Lake Erie. The heroine hears of the dreadful fate of her lover, down in the glades of Florida, near the banks of Lake Superior, where she is living, and rushes down South to Lake Erie, and lies in wait for that crocodile, captures him, cuts him open, extracts the bones of her dead lover, purchases a rich coffin, and has Ijira interred in magnificent style in Greenwood Cemetery, New York, in the State of St. Louis. The poem is too affecting.- ' - Celery is said to be one of the most potent.; anti-nervine remedies known. A writer in a leading pe riodical asserts that he has known many men, and women too, who, from various causes, have become go much affected with nervousness, that when they stretched out their hands they shook like aspen leaves on a windy day, who, by a daily moderate use of the blanched foot stalks, or the celery . leaves as a salad, became as stro-r and steady in limbs as other pe p . The Joyless American Face, What is to be done to prevent this acrid look of misery from hecoming au orge:.''-h-iraiteristieof our e4- pit . .Mi.kt- ihe.ii , play more," says om: . philosophy. No doi.ht f they need ti "play more;", but. j plication of that kind-of holiday J would mend the matter. No doubt j we work f4r too many days in the year, and o av lor too lew: but after all, it is the heart and the spirit and the expression that we bring to our work,' and not those that we bring to our play, by which our real vitality must be tested and by which our faces will he stamped.1 If we do not work healthfully, rea sonably, moderately, thankfully, joyously, we shall have neither moderation nor gratitude nor joy in ur play. And here is the hopeless ness, here is the rMt of the trouble, of the joyless American face. The wnrstof all demons, the demon of unrest and overwork, bnMxls in the very sky of this laud. Blue and clear, and crisp and sparkling-as our atmosphere is, it cannot or does not exercise the stell. Any 4ld man can count on his fingers of one hand the persons he has known who led lives ot serene, unhurried eCon tent, made for themselves occupa tions and not tasks, and died at last what might be called natural deaths. so long as the American is resolved to do in one day the work of two, to make in one year the fortune of his whole life and his children's, to earn before he is forty the reputa tion which belongs; to three score and ten, so long he will go about the streets wearing his present ab ject, pitiable, overwrought, joyless look. But, even without a change of heart or a reform of habits,- ho might better his countenance a lit tle if he would. Even if he does not feel like smiling;he might smile if he tried, and that Would be some thing. .The muscles are all there; they count the same in the Ameri can as in the French or Irish face; they relax easily in youth ; the trick can be learned.. And even a trick of it is better than none of it. Laughing masters niight be as well paid as dancing' masters to help on society. From Bits of Talk, by II. II To Make ISoys Farmers. We wish all the fathers would heed what the American Agriculturist says: Induce the boys to take an interest in the farm,! in the imple ments, in the stocky tell them all your plans, your success and fail ures; give them the history of your life and what you did, andhowyoii lived when a boy; but do not harp too much on the degenerate char acter of young men 4f the present age; praise them when you can, and encourage them to do still bet ter.

Some men and some women are always acting. They are just as much actors as if they were on the stage. They cannot get up or sit down, they cannot move, they can not speak, without thinking how they appear toothers. It is painful to live with such jersoiis. They are never natural); they cannot be natural. They are constantly study ing for effect in everything. We must say that we like the hearty laugh, no matter how loud it is. We like, words that are genuine, spontaneous and instinctive. Give us warm nature jrather than cold calculation. i A Vallejo (California) young lady, about to go off in the care, stepped into the dark sitting-room of the depot to kiss her friend Saraty good by. Owing to the darkness the didn't hit Sarah, bat caromed on a Chinaman, and didn't find out the mistake until Joljn began yelling, "Whatee foryod so chokee me? Hi yah I No squeezee o muchee !"

This so startles the young' man that he " immediately too to sleep again. And the operation has to Ikj repeated several times. , A father knows nothing about this trouble.. He merely opens his mouth -as asMla water Inittlo ejects its cork, and the " John Henry " that cleaves the air of the stairway goes into the boy like electricity, and pierces tho deepest recesses of his very nature. . And he pops out of that bed and into his clothes, and down the stairs with a promptness that is commen dable. It is rarely that a boy allows himself to disregard the parental " summon.

It is not often thought that wo owe all our habits and institutions to winter. We do not bear in mind that; the reason why Northern na tions are more manly than Southern is that there is winter in the North.' and lio winter in the,South. Win ter ibakes nations manly by driv ing men into social unities, ami obliging them to liyo.with each other, and devise waysTor their in struction. In a mild clmiatc, where there is no necessity for men to dwell under a roof, they wander abroad, ami in a great measure dis pense with each other's society, so that although they may have a cer tain! amount of cursory enjoyment, they1 are comparatively uulnstruct ed. j But in a severe climate like thisj when the cohl season shuts meii out fronV the lleM, and they retreat from their ordinary avoca tions, and the days are .short and the juveuings are long, the dwelling becomes a castle and a school-house, and there must be not only labors, but! conversations and readings. ! Under such circumstances the fami ly is a center of knowledge ; ami, If there be any leaven in it, a center ot Christianization. The shorten ingiof days and the lengthening of evenings make a great difference In the; civilization of nations; and I think it may; be said that New England aml all tin Northern States owe as much b.) the fact that . they have a long winter as to any of their laws or institutions; It gives rise to such household education, such domestic cuLture. II. Beech er. I A go4)d story Is tohl of an Irish hosiier who was' sent to the stable to bring forth a traveller's horse. Not knowing;. which of the two strange horses in the stalls belonged to the traveler, and wishing to avoid the appearance of ignorance in his business, he saddled both animals and brought them to the 4lxir. The traveller ointed out his 4wn horse saying, "That is my nag." "Certainly, yer. .honor, I knew that, but 1 didn't know which one o' them was the other gentle man's." i The Jonesboro (Ga.,) Times rc ! eently published a vig4jrous poem, j in which nppdired this stanza: When Kprinrf 4-onies with her floral tfil'ts, I Then time will !ilo on wingvxo swift.
