Parents can never too carefully avoid
showing distinction between children in
the distribution of their affection. Pa

The faults of early years should not be
visited with withdrawal Of affection from

excludes others who have the same claim

not the natural yearning of the heart to-

stowal of our partial affections on one
child in preference to another, from the
accident OF sex, or the youngest or oldes

From The Bag STATE Democrat.

"At meeting recently held in Alabama, Col
Lahmanousky, veteran of nearly eighty years
tall, firm and erect, arose and said, that he haC
served twenty. three years in the armies of Napo
leon, and had been engaged in two hundred bat
ties, had fourteen wounds on his body, and haI
suffered from the parching drought and heat o
the Egyptian deserts, to such degree as to b'
obliged to draw the blood from his own arm t
quench his thirst; he had borne the trials of thu
Russian campaign; had lived upon horse ilesl
for a long time had endured with others all thu
tcrrors of that awful disaster, and next to the pro
vince of God, he attributed his preservation anc
his firm health to the fact that he had never taste,

overt isn't worth while for me to tel
him any thing" and he hurried of.
On their way to the office, Bop, in &
spirit of friendly confidence, informed Mr..
Copperas, that the Clerk was a crank,
cross grained old fellow, but he musn'r
mind his talking loud--i,'s just his way.
Copperas had hardly entered the door
before he bawled out
"l'm come after license for Uncle
Ben and Tilda Strong!"
Well" said Thomas i'll the same
tone, "you needn't hollow out So Then
turning to Bop in his usual tone, CHATS
jus, the way with deaf people-they
think every body as deaf as themselves. "
Bop nodded to Copperas, to intimate
that he didn't hear, and he screamed still
louder

ccnse -
"Do you think I'm deaf as post !
You'd better make public cutlery Of it
at the Courto House door, young man."
said Thoms, somewhat rrltated.
Hero Bop interposed, and taking Cop
pcras outside of the door, explained to
him that he must make public Om cry
before he could get the license. This
was dreadful. Here was Copperas with
the strictest injunction of secrecy from
his uncle Ben, and now TO have to let it
out before all the people in town. Twas
too bad. in all this Bop sympathised
deeply. But trying as it was, he thought
it best TO &c, as he said according 10
lar.
"Bnt," said Copperas deploringiy, 81
can't cry about it, and uncle Ben don't
want me to-"
Cant cry ~ said the host, put upon a
new track, sway, God bless you, It's a
matter of nothing, when nobody is there
TO object. But when there is objection,
| grant it aint altogether so pleasant.
There was Joe Stokes--you know'd Joe
used to live on Beaverdam. Fine young
man too. When he was married, the
kin objected, and when he went to make
his out cry, it was about this time day,
and he had to cry spang till breakfast be-
fore he could worry them out"
"And did he worry 'em out at last ~
said Copperas, in some anxiety.
IVORY them ont Il reckon he did,
and told them to bring in any friend they
had, and he could ont cry the whole kit
and bilin' of 'em, and if that didn't salts
fly them, he could make them feel the
points of his ive big knuckIes besides.
But in your case you have to hollow out
a good deal, what you are after, and after
wards cry some---a little will do"
Copperas' metile was now fairly up,
and he sprang with the utmost alacrity
upon the Court House steps, and below
ed out at the top of his voice -
"fm come ofter a license ~
Every body rushed out, and there he
stood roaring away
