fit comes by example. A parent, for in

see him treat his beast in arude and an
CRY manner, and in consequence his in
strucuons are worse than lost, for they
are neither needed nor respected. His

would have been sufficient for his chill

Men are just like children in this respect,
and initiate good example, while mere

pass into one ear and out of the other.
PUTTING LAUGHING FACE ON AsERIoUs
MATTER. "A story Of tie Creek Campaign.
While General jackson was operating
in the Creek, country, some twenty odd
years ago. be invariably gave orders that
all encampments should be made near the
main body to prevent surprise and alarm;
but he had one Capt. G.. who although a
brave man. was rather lawless, and dis
posed to prowl "bush whsck" about on
his own hook, and account. When the
main camp fires were lit at night, his
would frequently be seen off on some hill
by itself, mile perhaps from the others,
and in a very exposed situation. Gen.
jackson finally got as tired giving orders
in relation to encampment,g as Capt. G..
was in receiving them, and seeing his
fire one night on distant hill, the COM
mander sent an aid to arrest the brave
but eccentric officer. Captain G., said
the aid, l am ordered to take your sword
