ellis friend answered that he mich
come and live with him, and if ii,
would follow his directions he woule
help him to gel his estate back again
flake this bag Of dollars, carry it into
your room al your sons, shut it up wei
in your chest, and about the time 70,
expect they willca!l you down to din
ner, shut your door and have all your
dollars spreadon a table in the middle
Of the room. When they call you make
noise with them By sweeping them
from the table into the bag again
"'The bait took completely. The
wife had peeped through the key-hole
and saw the dollars spread out on the
table, and tod it 10 her husband. =
When the old man came down, they
insisted on his sitting down at the ia
BILE with them, and treated him with
uncommon civility.
"rhe old man related to his friend
what he had done, who gave him d.
rections what to do if, his son asked
him for money.
CATER a few days, the son discover
ed the old man very busily en gagged in
counting out his money, and at the
heAsssneal time asked wha, money it
was 'ha' h~ehad been coming.
"sOnly some ,-anev | had rec.;vea

ed totake Mr.. Ms farm, upon which

raise the money, and if the farm is sold
it will not fetch as much as will dis
charge the mortgage
"After few days, the son tod the
father he intended to build house on
the farm, and would be glad if his ia
ther would let him have that money.
"sYes, child, all that have is COM
ing to you; intend giving you all
the bonds aud mortgages have, but

Accordingly, his friend and cousin,
who had devised the scheme, came to
the house, and the son gave up the
deed that another might be drawn oft.
When the old man had got the instru-
ment in his hand, in the presence ofhis
friend, he broke the seal, and commit
ted the writing to the fire, saying:
"'Burn, cursed instrument Of my fol-
ly and my misery and you, my duti-
ful children, as this estate is all my
own again, you must remove lmmedl :

neighbors munching their .avorite Vi
and, himself apparently having been
forgotten. Just as rough boy stamps
with his foot if his wishes are not com
piled with, this elephant angrily struck
the earth with his trunk, bu, the mo-
ment his food was brought he was quiz
ct. He is fond Of throwing leaves and
bits of earth upon his back, and in idle
hours this is a never failing resource.
Still more does he delight in turning
himself over in the water. When his
Keeper cleans him, he patiently kneels
down, or places himself on his side.
Il So full Of reason are his actions, that
he serves the Indians as the highest
knowledge: Ganesa, the god of art and
science, being represented with an ele-
plants head. More especially is this
animal honored by the Hfndoos, who
make it the companion Of The gods, the
warder of the porch of the temple, the
caryatide and the ornament of their
architecture. They believe that the
souls ofprinces and Brahmins do Pc
mace in the bodies Of elephants, ard a
Hindoo flow caste may hold one of
them to be higher than himself. A
bride, accordingto the law of Menu,
should have the graceful gait Of a ia
mingo, or of young elephant; and
therefore at this day the princes and
princesses of the ancient Hindoo dy-
nasties are taught the step. Of an eie-
plant. When the rajah of BickaneeT
came to visit Lord Peterborough, he
entered the tent with a heavy tread,
{ onfalmably to the instruction he had
received in this branch of Indian ETH
9uette.
For purposes Of splendor the elephant
plays an important part in the immense
retinues of great persons in India
When Sir Jasper Nichols, the COM
mander in chief during the late war, ar
rived at the camp at Ferozpoor, eighty
elephants swelled his train. He had
in addition three bundled camels, and
one hundred and thirty six draught
oxen. Above a thousand servants
were present merely for Sir Jasper's
personal service, and to attend to the
animals. When the governor general
made his entry, be brought along
with him one hundred and thirty ele-
plants and seven hundred camels.

How DO.YOU MANAGE YOUR
CHILDREN.

tits usual to attempt omanage your
children either by corporal punishment,
or by rewards addressed to the senses,
or by words alone. There is one 9th
er means Of government, the power and
Importance of which is seldom regar-
ded. / refer 10 the human voice
A blow may be inflicted on child,
accompanied BY words so uttered as
to counterfeit entirely its intended eff
feet. Or, the parent may use language
In the correction of the child mot objec-
tionab!e in itself, yet spoken in tone
which more than defeats its influence.
We are BY no means aware of the
power Of the voice in swaying the feel
ings Of the soul. The anecdote of a
good lady in regard to her minister's
sermons, is to the point. She heard a
discourse from him which pleased her
exceedingly. She expressed to a friend
The hope that he would preach ii again.
Perhaps said her friend in reply,
she may print it, sAh.' said she, he
ould not print it in the holy tone. =
There is a tone in the pulpit, which
false as is the taste from which II pro-
cee,is, does indeed work wonders. =
So is there tone in our intercourse
with. children, which may be among
the most efficient aids IN their educa-
ton.
Let any one endehvor 70 recall the
image of a fond mother long since de-
parted to her rest. Her sweet smile
land ever clear counfenance are brought
wildly 10 recollection. So also is her
voice; and blessed is that paren. who
lis endowed with pleasing lutteranee.
What is it which lulls the infant 10 re-
pose? 1t is no array Of mere words. =
There is no charm 10 the untaught one
in letters, syllables ard sentences. Ii

KEEP THE LOAF UNDER YOUR OWN
ARM.

The following is copied from a New
York paper printed in the year 1776,
and is related as fact. Similar cases
often occur. in these days, that par
ent having given all into the lands OF
his children, is obliged to spend the re-
mainder of his days in poverty and
want. -53 l. -........7
CAT this time there is living at Haer-
lem, an old man who relates the fol-
lowing remarkable story Of himself
He was possessed of pretty good
farm, with slaves and everything neces-
sary for his business, land but one child,
son, who having married, it was a.
greed that the young couple should
live in the house with the parent, as he
was widower. Things went excee-
ingly well for some time, when the son
proposed to his indulgent parent
that he should make over to him his
estate, promising him to build new
house and otherwise improve the farm
The father, through persuasion, gave
him deed of gift of 1t, and everything
belonging to it. u za4s, a,.aa
! ssAfter a few years., as the father
grew old, he grew little more frettul
and dissatisfied, while the son, think
! ing he had nothing more to expect
from him, forgot filial duty, and USED
his aged father worse than he die his
servants. The old man was no longer
permitted to eat at the table with his
son and wife, but compelled to take
his meals in the chimney corner
and was continually ill-used by them
The old man ate. his meals daily from
a wooden BOWL which his son hae
made for him. His grandson saw his
father make this bowl, and set about
making Just such another. Being
asked by his father what he made il
for, be answered, 'fory outo eat out O
when you grow old as grandfather.''-
Although this ought to have turned his
HEART, and made him reflect that as ht
ldealt by his father he might expect &c
be dealt with by his children when be
[ grew old, still it had no effect upon
/ him, andthe ill-usage was carried e
such height that he could no longe1
Ibear it, and leftthe house and went te

WORM iBIZaIINs

THESE Lozenges nave now been in use, in
the Southern and Western States upwards on
twelve months, during which time they have
gained for themselves a popularity unprece-
denied in the annals Of medicine. In over
$4,000 cases they have proved an infallible
remedy for the destruction of those reptiles
within, which are the means of sweeping off
hundreds and thousands ofthe most blooming
children and youth, s~evering the cords of af-
lection, and forever blasting the fondest hopes
of the parent. So great has their efficacy in
variably proven, that they may well be called
the only certain worm destroying medicine in
use, and the greatest discovery ever made for
expelling the various kinds Of worms that so
frequently and distressingly annoy both child
en- and adults. Many diseases arise from
worms and occasion long and intense suffer-
ing and even death, without their ever being
suspected. Grown persons are very often af-
ficted with them, and are doctored for vari-
Gus complaints without any benefit, when one
or two doses ofthese LozengeS would speedi-
ly cure them. They are acertain remedy, and
SO pleasant to the taste, that children cry for
them, and eat them as readily as a common
peppermint Lozenge. Wherever they AVE
been used, they have received the most aatter-
Communications from Physicians, heads of
families, and the public generally. Much
more might beSaid in their favor, of the safe
ty with which they may be administered to
persons of all ages and sexes ; of the vast ex-
tent and magnitude of the suffering and death
by worms; of the impotency Of
most of the preparations which heretofore
have been presented to the community as a

bilious diseases, sick headache, dyspepsia,
bowel complaints, &c. &C., it was not long
before some were induced to make a trial of
them. They were at once found TO BE just
what they PROGRESSED to be and from that day
to this, their popularity has been rapidly in
creasing. | have sold during the last few
