"Why do you dislike her, my dear? ?"
"Because she's always so unkind. She never shares
with us when she has any toys which we have not, and
never joins in our sports, only when we do Just as she
says about it, and she always looks so cross when she
does us a favor-as if to say, 1ll never do so again
that | will not Now is it wrong not to love her, mo-
ther?"
ut is not wrong, my dear, to dislike such traits of
character Of which you have been speaking but you
must remember that there is quite a difference be-
tween detesting the action, and the person who acts.
For instance, if a little girl should be tempted to steal
that rose which you so beautifully painted a few days
since, you should not hate her, but the principle that
prompted her to do So"
"Oh, well, | never thought of that before; and now
while | think of it, there is little Louisa Avery whom
! all the school love; and the reason is, because she al
ways tries to please us, and is ever ready to do us a
favor, even before we ask it. Now | love her more
than all the scholars: that is not selfish, is 1t mother?
at is, if you love her merely because she pleases
you-but to love those principles which prompt her tC
make others happy, is showing a truly noble spirit
which | hope my child will ever cultivate. Now, sale
Mrs. Benton, as she gently pushed back the curli
which hung in rich profusion, around the sweet smil

"Why, like Louisa; to be sure. But how can l.
oh, now | know-whenever she is doing a good act,
can do so too; and then before l know it | shall be u
good as she is"
"No, my dear, that would be affectation. You mus
consider if Louisa acts from the motive of making 9th
ers happy, then you must act from the same motive
Now can you do this?"

As her mother finished speaking, little Mary drew
on her bonnet and tripped off to school, wondering all
the way, how long it would take her to become as
good as Louisa Avery. M.

True Independence,

Soon a(or his establishment in Philadelphia, Frank
lin was offered a piece for publication in his newspa-
per. Being very busy, he begged the gentleman
would leave it for consideration. The next day the
author called and asked his opinion of it. why SIR
replied Franklin, i am sorry to say that | think it high
Iy s%curriIou5 and dcfamatory. But being at q loss on
account of my poverty whether to reject it Or not, I
thought | would put it to this issue-at night, when
my work was done, l bought a two-penny loaf, on
which with a mug Of water supped heartily, and then
wrapping myself in my great coat, slept very soundly
on the floor till morning; when another loaf and mug
of water afforded me a pleasant breakfast. Now, sir,
since | can live very comfortably in this manner, why
should ] prostitute my press to personal hatred or party
passion, for a more luxurious liying?' One cannot read
this anecdote of this American sage without thinking
of Socrates reply to King Archeaus, who had pressed
HIM to give up preaching in the dirty streets of Athens.
and come and live with him in his splendid courts

From The Rniland lierald.


We were few days since tarelessly look
ing over an old file OF a somewhat noted lit
erary psper-the New York MiTror-when we
accidently stumbled upon an article which
we think may prove OF interest to many at
this time. This is letter from a correspond
ent OF the Mirror, written III 1888, at the
close OF the Florida war, giving the talk OF
Gen Chen Col.) Taylor. while IN council,
with the celebrated Chief Alligator, and
which shows plainly the existence then OF
one oi the marked traits oi Gen Tayiors
character now claimed for him by his friends.
No better evidence oil the nobest aud natu-
raj kindness OF Gen. Taylor can be given than
what Is here shown. The following is Col.
Taylors talk
Red brothers. am glad to meet you here,
because the Great Spirit is pleased with those
who make peace! Your great father, the
President OF the United States, will also be
pleased. Although a soldier, do not wish 10
she'd the blood of my red brothers; aud had
rather save the life of one child, than kill one
hundred OF your warriors There are none so
blind as those who will not see; none SO deal
as hose who will not hear! ur eats are o.
pen; your chiefs know what want. and they
know have never deceived them.-W hatev-
er ! have promised, has been performed. II
any OF your people come TO my canIp With
white flag, they will be as safe as though they
were thousand miles distant from me. You
know what have said; il you like my talk,
we are friends; if not, 60 back to your camp,
and the war will continue"
Alligator says, in reply
Father! Your talk is trde what YOU say is
good understand you, aud you shall under
stand ne. | speak with straight tongue;
my heart is clean, my hands ale white, and
you must believe what | say. Ny people
have suffered great deal. This has been the
longest war | ever heard OF; bat my people
have desired peace a long time. II your mes
sengeTs had carried good words, this thing
would have been closed long ago! We will
do as orr great father wishes! The Ratchet Is
burred-not under the pine tree, in the sand,
for the wind will blow down the tree aud un-
cover Il again. not in the ocean, Tor the waves
will wash it on shore; but | have digged a
deep hole IN hard ground, and have put
blg stone on the Ratchet. SO that II will new
er again BE- seen May the Great Spirit keep
it sale! have done!'
In the conclusion of the letter referred to,
the writer says
Apaka, or Samuel Jones the fisherman, and
his Micasukies are the only Indians now con-
ceaied in the thickets. Colonel Taylor has
done more toward this contamination, during
the short time he has been III the country,
than all the other commanders, since the war
begun. Facts show this to be the case 1t
would have been fortunate circumstance,
had the conduct OF the war been Entrusted to
his care. But we hope this solemn farce is
finished.
