ing a sorrow upon their hearts that will
cling there through life. How tunny
mothers there f|tiiet their chil
dren by saying : "Jiug-n-boos will conic
and t;ikc you off; ('nine, old nigger,
coma and—well, will you hush, then,
this minute ! '
The poor child always believes all its
mother says, aud why shouldn't it'
It oUp'ht to believe her. That is filial
duty. The sobbing, fluttering heart is
quiet but not composed.—Those cheer
ful eyes close iu u sleep of terror; the
child dreams—but, oh ! who can tell the
sadnc.-s f a child while it dreams iu a
sleep fryhtciicd upon it by alarms of all
that is terrible and repulsive '
Such inhuman treatment endangers
the tuind—the i.itelleet. .Mothers, be
waie ' And see that no nurse or serv
ant, or elder brother, or sister drive
arrows of grief to the very soul of your
child. A sorrow planted and watered
by tears, will biing forth a harvest of
bittern, .-s and despair.
How common a habit is this to teach
children ! The peaceful night, so full
of swcctii 'ss ; the night that brings
frc.-li honey drops of dew !o the flowers;
the night that brings rest for the weary,
this dearest of all, is lo be made terri
ble to children. What weakness !
Why, it is blasphemy to make the little
ones belivc that tJod lorgets them, and
sends tormentors to trouble thciu iu the

Tlie Te'Xt.
A pious old lady, who was too unwell
to attend meeting, used to solid her
thick-headed husband to church to tind
out the tc.\t tins preacher selected as the
foundation of his discourse. The poor
dunce was raicly fortunate enough to
remember the words of the text, or even
the chapter and verso where they could
be found ; but one Sabbath he ran homo
in hot haste, and informed his wife that
he could repeat every word, without
missing a syllable, 'lho words were as j
follows :
"An angel came down from heaven, ■
and took a live coal from 'lie alter."
"KuoW every word," replied the hus
band.
«T am anxious to hear it," continued
the wife.
"They arc nice words," observed the
husband.
"I am glad your memory is improv
ing, but don't keep me itu suspense, my
dear," said she.
"Just get your big bible and I will
say the words, for I know them by
heart. 1 said them a hundred times on
my way home."
v Well, let's hear thcui."
' Ahem ! said he, clearin - his throat.
"An Injun came down from Fair Heaven
and took a live colt by the tail aud
jerked him out of the half;r
The memory of one-half who attend i
church is very similar to the above.
"Hearoat, sweetest, what is it ' Are
you siok ! What ails my precious pot ?"
and the young husband bent tenderly '
over the graceful form of his blushing
bride.
"Oh, Adolphus Ivlward, its too dread- !
ful for anything."
"Bad new; froiv home ?"
" Worse, worse ! Oh, what shall 1
do 1"
"Tell your own darling hubby."
"It's that awful Sclina Tarbox,
she's
"She's what my precious 1"
"She's got a bonnet trimmed exactly
like mine, aud to-uiorrow's Sunday !"
Than the sflhoted beauty buried her
face iu her husband's breast aud trick- i
led her pearly tears all over his three
dollar shirt.

SI'EM) 101 UJIIIHDV AT HOME.
It is your home ; you cannot improve
it much by taking your money awaj to
invest. There is tiy way of improving
a place so much as by enoournging good
merchants, good schools and good people
to seille among you, and this cannot be
done unless you spend your money at
home, for there is whero you p t it.
Spend your money at home, bee ut e
when it is necessary lo get credit it is of
your own town merchants you have to
got it, and they must wait at home. It
will make better business C r V"IA oittr
cliauls. J hey can and will keep/bctfer
assortments; and sell at lower rates than
if the only busiucss they could do was
to credit, while the money goes to other
places. Spend your ne riey at home.
Set the example now. liny your Cry
goods, groceries and meat in town and
you will see a wonderful change in a
: short time in ihc business outlook of the
place ; therefore deal with your uier
eliaii s at home. Your ni r.'hants arc :
your neighbors and your friends ; they '
stand by you in sickness—are your as- |
; sociatcs. Without your trade tl.ey can- !
not keep up business. No stores, then
; no one waiting to buy propetty to settle
on and butld tip the place.
Talk to Your Horse.
Somo man, unknown to the writer'
! hereof, has givyi tho world a saying j
thiit sticks: "Talk to your cows as'
you would to a lady." There is a world
of common sense in it. There is more ;
there is good sound religion in it.
U hat else is it but tho language of the i
lllble applied to aniumis : "A soft an-1
sivcr turnelh away wrath." A idea - 1
ant word to a horse in time cf trouble
has prevented many a disaster where the
horse has learned that pleasant words
mean a guaranty that danger fn u pun
ishment is uot imminent. One mowing j
a big, muscular groom said to his em
ployer : "I can't exercise that horse
i any more, lie w ill bolt and run at any
thing he sees." The owner, a small
man and ill at tho time, asked that the
lurse be brought up. Stepping into the
skeleton, he drove a couple of miles, and '
then asked tho grooui 10 station along '
the road such ol jiets &s th .' horse was
afraid of. 'I his was done, and the liorso
was driven by them quietly, back and
forth, with looso lines slapping on his !
back. '1 lie whole "caret was iu a voice
that inspired confidence. The mail had j
been frightened at everything he saw
that he supposed the horse would fear,
'lho fear went to the horse like an elco- ■
trio messenger. Then came a ) uuish
iug pull on the lines, with Jerking and!
the whip. Talk to your horse as you |
would to your sweetheart. Do not fear i
but what ho understands and appreciates
loviug tones, if not the words, while it
is by no means ocrtaiu that the sensitive
intelligence of many ti liorso dees not
comprehend the latter.— Hrttuer's
Gazette,
Koxboro Aru'.v: We are hpving
splendid rains and believe now there
will be two-thirds of a crop of tobacco
planted. That wrH cultivated will make
as much ns the fill crop would have
made, and we doubt not much finer and I
richer tobacco.
Rome Points In iils!u-13i
I. Never allow anyone to tickle your
her- 4 in the suible. The aniuial only
Ice! the torment mid does not ondet
stan 1 the joke. \ icious habits are thus
j easily brought on.
-■ Never bea'- the horso when in tho .
stable. Nothing so soon makes him pcr
sistenely vicious.
3. Let the horse's litter bo dry and
clean underneath, as well as on the top. 1
Standing on hot, fermented manure j
makes the hoofs sjft, and brings on j
lameness.
4. Change the litter partially in SOILC j
parts and entirely in others, every morn- 1
ing: and brush out aud clean the stall
thoroughly,
■ lo procure a good coat on your
horse, use plenty of rubbing and brush- !
ing. l'lcnty of "elbow grease" opens
lac j .re , softens the skin, and promotes
tho animal's general health.
•i. Never clean a horse in the stable. |
Th e tin t f uls the crib, aud makes him J
loathe h:.s food.
7. I'sc the curry comb lightly. When
u*cd roughlv it is u source of great pain \
Let the heels bo well brushed out
every night. Dirt, if allowed to cake in, j
causes grease and sore heels.
0. \\ believer a horse is washed, never j
leave him till he is rubbed quite dry. He I
will probably get a chill if neglected.
10. W lieu a horse comes off a jour- 1
ncy, tho first thing is to walk him about '
till he is cool, if lie is brought in hot. I
This prevents him taking cold.
11. The next thing is to groom him ■
quite dry, first with a wjsp of straw, then '
with a brush. This removes dust, dirt I
and sweat, and allows time for tho stom
ach to recover itself, and the appetite to j
return.
12. A!3O let his legs bo rubbed by
the hand. Nothing so soon removes a
; strain. It also detects thorns or spliti
; ters, soothes the animal, and enables him
' to feed comfortably,
i 13. Let the horse have some exercise
every day. Othciwisc he will hj liable
! to lever or bad feet.
1-1. Lot your horse stand loose, if
l possible, without being tied up to the
j manger. I'ain and weariness from a
! continued position, induce b.t l habits
I and cause swollen feet and other dij
-1 order.
15. Loo!: often at the animal's
! and feet. Diseases or wounds in those
I parts, if at all neglected, soon become
I dangerous.
16. Every night look and sec if there
j is any stone between the hoof and shoo,
j Standing on it all night the horse will
' be lame uext morning.
17. If the horse remains iu the stable
his feet must be "stooped." Heat and
dryness cause crack hoofs and lameness.
IS. The feet should not bo "stooped,
nftcner than twioe in the week, lt will
j make tho hoofs soft, and bring on corns.
10. Do not urge the animal !n drink
water which lie refuses, lt is ptobably
hard and unwholesome.
20. Never allow drugs to bo adminis-
I tcred to your horse without your knowl
i edge. They are not needed to keep the
j animal in health, and uuy do thegreat
est aud most sudden mischief.
Don't lie A Ira lil ol Work.
Don't bo afraid of killing yourself j
! with overwork, son, is the facetious way
| tho liurlington Hawkeye has of counsel-,
ing young men to thrift. Men seldom |
work so hard as that ou the sunny side I
of thirty. They die sometimes , but w ,
is because they quit work at 0 p. m. aud j
don't got home till 2a. in. It's tho in- j
tervals that kill, my son. The work
gives you an appetite for jour luculs; it
lends solidity to Jour slumber ; it gives
you a perfect and grateful appreciation
of a holiday. There are young men
I who do not work, my son—young men j
who make a living by sucking tiio und !
| of a cane, aud who can tie a necktie in j
eleven different kunis, and never lav a I
wrinkle in.it; who can spend inure'
1 money in a day tliau you can caru in a
month, son . aud who will go to the
sheriff's to buy a postal curd, uu 1 apply
, at the street commissioners for a mar
| riage licence. So find out what you
I want to bo and do, sin, and take off
I your coat and make success in flic
world. Tho busier you arc, lho less
evil you will be apt to get into, the
tweeter will bo your sloop, the brighter
uod happier your holiday, and the belter !
satisfied WiU the world be with you.
