Pushing, crowding, making
A tremendous roar.

On the road to fame ;
If they fail to reach it
\Y ho will be to blame ?
High and lowly statious—
Birds of every feather—
On a dirty level

Loving little hearts,
Eyes brimful of mischief,
Or skilled in the devil’s arts.

“Boots and shoes are shuffling,

What a botheration !
No wonder we grow crusty
From such association !”
“Anxious parent drops in,
Merely to inquire
W by his olive branches
Do not shoot up higher;
Says he wants his children
To miud their p's and q's,
And hopes their brilliant talents
Will not be abused.”
“Spelling, reading, tvriting,—
‘Now, all together ybung ones 1’
Fanning, scolding, fighting,
Spurring on the dull ones.
Gymnasts, vocal music—
How the heart rejoices
When the singer comes to
Cultivate their voices !” g

Making out reports,
Giving object lessous.
Class drills of all sorts.

Feeling like a fob!-
Oh, the untold joy of _

Friiiiitciiing Chil<iren.
The greatest difficulty in the way
of properly rearing children is that
their elders forget that they were
ever children themselves. Parents,
with till their love and tenderness,
are often so unmindful of the ex
treme sensibility of their offspring
that they think to amuse by fright
ening thenl. This is liko tickling
them with a needle ; it is all pain
and no pleasure. Because a fright
is intended to be a joke, it is no
reason that it is so understood, es
pecially by the little folks* iVbo are
altogether literalists.
Nothing can be worse for a child
than to frighten it. The effect of
the scare it is slow to recover
from ; it remains sometimes until
maturity, as is shown by many in
stances of morbid sensitiveness and
nervousness.
Not ilftfreqnentJjr, fear is employ
ed as a means of discipline. Chil
dren are controlled by being mada
to believe that something terrible
will happen to them ; are punished
by being shut up in dark rooms, or
by being put in places they stand in
dread of. No one* without vivid
memory of his own childhood can
comprehend how entirely criiel
such things are. We have often
heard grown persons tell of the suf
fering they have endured, as chil
dren under liko circumstances, and
recount the irreparable injury which
they are sure they then received
No parent, no nurse, capable of
alarming the young, is fitted for
her position. Children* as near as
possible, should be trained not to
know the sense of fear, which,
above everything else, is to be fear
ed, in their education both early
aud late.
Measures.— As all families are
not provided with scales and
weights, referring to ingredients in
general use by every housewife* the
following information may be use
ful :
W heat flour, one quart is one
pound.
Indian meal, one quart is one
pound and two onees.
Butter, When soft, one quart is
one pound one ounce.
Loaf sugar, broken, one quart is
One pound.
White sugar powdered, one quart
is one pound one ounce.
Best brown sugar, one quart is
ouo pound two ounces.
Eggs, average size, ten eggs are
one pound.

It is not our fault that we are

A Clinnce For Boys.
“What aro you good for?” in
quired a gentleman of a little Soy.
“To make a man of,’’ the boy an
swered. That boy comprehended
both the situation and himself. It
is God’s plan to make men out of
boys—noble men out of noble boys,
like the one who responded as
above. It is the thought that ought
to be uppermost in the minds of
lads *‘l am to be a they
should often repeat. A little fellow
left his home last summer to pur
sue a coiirse of study in a boarding
school. One of his companions
said to him, “Fred, don’t yon dread
to go ?” “No I guess not,” he re
plied. “I must he a man some
time.” That is it. If boys would
always be boys, their fathers might
supply them with skates, sleds,
fishing tackle and gun, and let them
go it, with no thought of the future
and no lesson from the past. But
that cannot be. The seed does not
more surely grow into the blade
than boyhood developes into man
hood ; and we want oitr young
readers to appreciate the fact.
In these circumstances, Provi
deuce is very kind to give lads as
good a chance as they have. If
one really means to be a man, in
the best and highest sense of the
term; the way is opon, even though
his opportunities are very small.—
The great result depends more up
on the spirit of the boy than it does
upon his opportunities. The best
advantages are lost upon many lads
because they do not comprehend
the situation—they scarcely dream
that they lire cVfer to be men. It
will not make a man of a hoy to
send him to college, or to set him
up in trade with a large capital,
unless the gift of the matter is in
him. If the right spirit and aim
are in him; noble manhood is in
sured, even without college or capi
tal.
Sir John Franklin; the great Arc
tic explorer, had limited means. —
His father was willing to grant
him all the advantages his scanty
purse would allow, if he would be
a minister ; but the lad’s aspira
tions were in another direction.—
At lOurteea he entered the navy as
midshipman, Und distinguished
himself before he was twenty-one.
Spare moments were husbanded and
opportunities improved with refer
ence to his manhood.
Livingstduo, the Worlu-faaicd Af
rican explorer, worked in a cotton
mill until he was tiVeniy years of
ace. lie did not attend school after
he was ten years old, except an
evening school for factory opera
tives. Yet, at twenty five years of
age, he had qualified himself for a
missionary, aud sailed for Southern
Africa, where he has tolled for
more than 30 years. Few men
are more widely known than he.
A hundred years ago there was a
boy boot black in the city of Ox
ford, England, who cleaned the
boots of the students in the Uni
versity. lie was ft boot black from
necessity, not from choice. His
father was too poor to send him to
schoolj and there was no higher
employment that offered him busi
ness, so lie became a boot black.—
That was an honest pursuit, and fat
more necessary than some others. —
Theie was a little more than the
usual advantage* however* in black
ing the boots of studehts. It in
troduced him to small opportuni
ties through the students. Books
came ihta his hands. Instruction
was given him on a small scale at
first by one of the students. Thus
he started, and he became the great
revival preachar, George Whitfield.
Such facts compel us to say that
the chance fur a boy is flattering in
our day. No matter bow humble
their Condition may be, the road to
honor arid ilseftilaess is open before
them, and a favoring Providence
invites them to enter it. The poor
est may share a noble manhood.—
Tlie richest may fail.— Youth's
Progress.
While some men, beneath two im I
metise chesnut trees, in Orange,
Conn., were grinding scythes, dur
ing a recent thunder storm, light
ning struck the trees, shivering
them into many pieces* darted
against the grindstone* which one
man was turning and upon which an
other man was holding a scythe*
snatched the implement from his
hands and burled it into the air
with a noise resembling that of a
buzz saw, landing it fifty feel away.
The men were rather startled by
the incident, but were not hurt.
It is a strange fact that wise men
learn more from fools than fools do
from wise men.
Under a Curse.
A dismal tragedy comes from
England, as sad and melan
choly as any we have heard. Miss
Cross, a girl of 19 years of age, was
teaching school in Stark, New
Hampshire. Her classes fell into
confusion and disorder, and the
teacher was summoned by the com.
mittee, who gave lifer the alternative
of improving the discipline or re
signing. The girl committed sui
cide by drowning. The girl left a
note to her sister merely stating
that the curse was being fulfilled.—
A careful inquiry into her history
was made and the riddle was
solved. Her father, Amos K. Cross,
of Waterford, Maine, was separated
from his first wife and married
again. His own mother was great
ly incensed against him, and, in a
fit of rage, cursed his children, say
ing that “his sons should die in in
fancy, and his daughters in sorrow,
if not in shame, before they were
20.” The curse had been fulfilled
so far as the sons were concerned,
and this coincidence confirmed the
belief of the unfortunate girl in the
curse. As she neared her 20th
birthday the gloom of approaching
death unfitted her for work, and
the circumstances which followed
urged her to the dreadful stop
which developed the mystery. She
leaves one younger sister, whose fu
ture will be watched with eare and
interest by an aWe Stricken comifliu
nity With such a history to look
back upon it would require a miud
of no average strength to combat
the melancholy and superstition
which caused her sister’s death.—
But what could be the remorse of
the wretched woman who had
wrought the ruin ? Let us hope she
is dead and beyond the knowledge
of the verification of her fearful
curse.
Character.
No two leaves in the forest are
exactly tile sattle form and tekture.
No two grains of sand, taken from
the sea-shore of the gl-eat African
desert, are identical in bulk and
outline. Even the drop of water,
the most alike in the universe, will
exhibit some marks of distinction
tVhen submitted to a powerful mi
croscope. The law that excludes du
plicates from the visible kingdom
of nature, is also a law of the moral
world. From Adam to the last
man, tio two races will be found ex
actly the same ; and variety in t*\ait
and lineament of human character
is as inexhaustible as is a man’s out
ward appearance. The power
which in one man’s moral compo
sition is ardent, demonstrative, pre
dominate, in another lies dormant
or dead. The craving which m
one breast concentrates upon it
self the whole mind and will, before
its voice can be silenced or its will
appeased, is felt, scarcely under
stood, by a being of a different or
ganization. The weak man is
laughed at in scorn by the strength
of the strong ; moral power and
weak pulp travel side by side, and
souls of fine porfeelain tremble in
the near presence of iron and
granite;
Power of Beauty.— A lovely
woman necessarily exercises a great
deal of power; but the foolish girl
who relies wholly on her color and
regularity of her features, and nog
lects the cultivation of her mind, is
a melancholy spectacle. Her sel
fish little heart, -her barren mmd,
lord it already over her cheap sup
erficial beauties, and will soon leave
nothing behind but a dreary waste.
Iler little victories aro temporary,
her little failures lasting. She can
never be a power. She can scarce
ly help being a drag. Her com
panions must be among the Common
place, not to say the vulgar; for she
has nothing iu common with the
grand. She would gasp on the
heights. • She can assimilate noth
ing beyond the material. There
is danger that she will sooa be un
able to rise above the mean. Ah,
beauty is dangerous.— Exchange.
The Dalton Citizen make the fol
lowing rather unfavorable report of
crops, &c., jn Murray county:
“Crops are not fine. Corn is full of
‘nubbins,’ and will yield about half
what was heretofore stated. Cotton
will just about bo one fourth of a
crop, compared with what was
made last ycar ; If 2,100 bales of
cotton were made last year,soo bales
will be mada this year, and this
statement is from a number of gin
ners and farmers. Sweet potatoes
are spoiling, having been dug a lit
tle too soon. Pork will be exceed
ingly scarce, though it can now bo
purchased in Spring Place at 12J
cents per pound.”
When we asked a mart a few
days ago what induced him to
make a law student of his son* he
replied: ‘Oh, he always was a lying
little cuss, and I thought I’d humor
his leading propensity. ’
A Joke Well Taken.
Two or taree weeks ago, says the
Detroit Free Press, a very quiet and
very solemn boy took a seat on the
wharf at the foot of Griswold street,
and began td fish. There hre, may
hap, fish at the foot of Griswold
street, but probably a man or boy
might fish there 10,000 years and
never get a bite, because those fibh
—if any there are that frequent
that locality, have had their eye
teeth cut, aiid know their business.
Steamers and boats passing, men
shouting and diays rolling and the
fish have a good deal to think of.
But this boy” didn’t look into the
case, lie may have heard theories
and speculations, but ho kept
them to himself find on fish
ing. Men asked him if he got a
bite and the boys told him to be
careful and not exhaust the supply*
but four or five hours per day ho
sat there and fished unmindful of
what was said or done, lie pulled
up the line once in a while, survey
ed the piece of meat on the hook,
saw that it was there, and then it
wont down again to wait for a stur
geon, At last the bdy’a jSerse
verance excited general notice, and
men said it was too bad ho didn’t
cacth a fish. Saturday afternoon
three or four individuals planned to
call him away from his line for a
moment, and while he was gone one
of them fastened a big, dried her
ring to his hook. The boy return
ed and resumed his fishing, and fi
nally he hauled up and saw tho
herring. Ho was too astonished to
speak for a time but he finally un
hooked the fish, laid it aside* and
put a piece of Scrap irdn on it to
keep it from escaping ; pretty soon
he was as solemn a3 ever. One of
the men felt piqued at the boy’s
lack of enthusiasm and stepping
forward he said, “Well, bub, had
any luck ?” “One herring,” replied
the boy in solemn tones. “And
what do you expect to csttch now?”
continued the man. He waited a
long time before answering, and
mournfully glancing at the herring
he replied : “Crackers and cheese
to go with him !” He is still fish
ing.
Dreaming.
What wondroiis consolation
comes to us in those blessed hours
when the body lies resting. The
spirit roams at will* nor distance,
space or time can separate us from
our loved ones. The treasures
snatched aivay by death are ours
again. Forms only dust to-day are
with us iu by-gone years. The
same tint of hair, the same shade of
eyes ; tho same rich colorir. g of
lips, and expanse of brow ; thesame
expression. Tho little peculiarities
which endeared them to our
hearts* make dreaming a blessed
reality.
llow apt are we to exclaim when
waking, “Oh, could I dream the
same again 1” Bereaved mother,
yon are comforted when your baby
is in your arms again ; the little
fingers thrill you when wandering
as of old. The wee face breaks in
to smiles at your caress. You
would hold your baby tlitts forever.
Alas ! you must awake—awake to
find an empty cradle, empty arms
and a longing heart.
There is more pleasure in dreams
than in realities. The awakening
embitters both. My sister, my
brother, have you awakened from
the sunny drcariiS of youth ? Are
the hopes you cherished dead ?
Have friends forsaken you? Has
disease claimed you for his prey ?
.Because that was so bright,and this
so dark, will you allow your life to
be a failure ? If you cannot be what
you would, will you not be what
you can ? Can you kindle ashes ?
Will you live aright ?

ties to lay up sufficient in his days
of strength and prosperity to pro
vide for himself and those who are
or may be dependent on hi’di hi
days of sickness or misfortune.

Cultivate, then, sober and indus
trious habits ; acquire the art oi?

In a town not a hundred miled
away, where even the children are
popularly supposed to bo well
versed in theological matters, a ge-f'
nial professor has a bright boy oy
four years, whose only experience
in church going was where tho ser
vice was in Congregational form.—
A few Sabbaths since, a relative
was to preach in tlifc Episcopal
church, and the professor pbriiilttefcl
his child to accompany him there j
all went doeorously until the

himself, when the little follow, wltH -

Doc. Adams has retired from tile
North-Georgia “Herald.” He
says: “I cannot say that my de
termination is a voluntary one : the
gentleman with whom I board may
have something to do with it. if is
solicitous inquiries into the state of
my finances and his fatherly advice
to me to ‘try and make a little mon
ey, please,’ may have somewhat in
fluenced me in the step I have trf
ken I ponder over the thought of
leaving him. I can’t blame hint,-
though—he said I couldn’t. lt<f
said he wouldn’t mind supporting
me, or even adopting ine, but lie'
was already bountifully supplied
with a familyj and he hoped 1
would appreciate bis situation.—
And, then, he urged rue in such a
mild and friendly way to leave him.
But he added, with much emotion*
that I had so grown in his affefitidrt
that he couldn’t possibly part froni
me without some token of remem
brance. I told him it was foolish
sentimentality to go on so, but ho
wouldn’t listen at nothing j and Uf
soothe his regrets at nly contem
plated departure, I had to leave my
baggage with him.”
