Honest Labor.

Labor, honest labor is mighty and beautiful.
Activity is the ruling element of life, and its
highest relish. Luxuries and conquests are the
result of labor; we can imagine nothing with
out it. The noblest man Of earth is he who
puts hands cheerfully and proudly to honest Ia
Dor. Labor is n business and ordinance of God.
Suspend labor and where is the glory and pomp
of earth-the fruit fields and palaces, and the
fashionings of matter for which men strive and
war? Let the labor-scorner look around him,
look to himself, and learn what are the trophies
of toll From the crown of his head to the sole
of his foot unless he is a Carib, made the
beast he is the debtor and slave of toll The Ia
Dor which he scorns has tracked him into the
stature and appearance of man. Where gets
he his garmenting and equipage Let labor
answer. Labor-which makes music in the
mine, and the furrow, and at the forge. o.,
scorn labor, do you-man who never yet earn
ed a morsel of bread Labor pities you proud
fool, and laughs you to scorn. You shall pass
to dust forgotten, but labor Will live on forever
glorious in its conquests and monuments

Iofteu have been told of late,
That Pennsylvania is the State,
without whose full and free consent
No man has yet been President.
Then let her hills and vallies ring
With loud Huzzas for PIERCE and KING!
Right well their names, the people please,

New Hampshire sends her patriot son
To lead the hosts of Freedom on;

He fought for US in Mexico.
Then let our hills and vallies ring, &c.
And Alabama sends her pride,
The Statesman true, the patriot tried
The North and South, unite to bring
The Gallant PIERCE, the veteran KING.
Then let our hills and vallies ring, sc.

Huzza for PIERCE Huzza for KING
Then let our hills and vallies ring, &c
Then wings bring on your WINFIELD SCOTT

For PIERCr and KING, we'll put right through,
In spite of 'Fuss and Feathers too.

With our glad shouts for PIERCE KING
The victory won, Huzza for these
Brave Democratic nominees.

Ess~A negro in Memphis, who, in an aifray
with white man, had his skull broke and about
two ounces of brains let out, was so disappoln-
ted at the favorable respect OF his recovery
that he deliberately tore off the bandage irom
his head, trust his hand into the imperfectly
healed wound, and literally scraped his own
brains out. Of course he didn't live long after
that, says the Appeak.

Cyrus l.. Pershing, Esq, said, he was not op-
posed to the resolution he prepared TO say
now that he was in favor of it. He thought its
introduction not germaGne to the duties of this

been bestowed upon this important subject by
the delegates, and he desired the representa-

measure but left free to act satisfied that he viii

Japanese Gardener.

The gardeners of Japan display the most
astonishing art. The plum tree, which is a
great favorite, is so trained and cultivated
that the blossoms are as big as those of dah-
lis. Their great triumph, however, is to
bring forth plants and trees into the compass
of the little garden attached to the houses in
the cities, With this view they have gradu-
ally succeeded in dwarfing the fig, plum and
cherry trees and the vine to a stature so di-
minutiye as scarcely to be credited by a
European, and yet those dwarf trees are
covered with blossoms and leaves. Some of
the gardens resemble pictures in which ma
ture is skilfully modelled in miniature-but
II is living, natural. Maylon, whese work on
Japan was published at Amsterdam in 1880,
states that in 1896 the Dutch agent of Conn
merce in Naganei, was offered a snuff box
one inch in thickness, and three inches high,
in which grew fig tree, a bamboo and a
plum tree in blooom.

Government of Children.

Anticipate and prevent fretfulness and i'll
temper by keeping the children In good
health, ease and comfort. Never quiet by
giving to eat, or by bribing in any way, still
less by opiates.
For the first few months avoid loud and
harsh sounds in the hearing Of children, or
violent lights in their sight; address them in
soft tones; do nothing to frightcn Them and
never Jerk or roughly handle them.
Avoid angry words and violence both TO a
child and in its presence by which means
naturally violent child may be trained to
gentleness.
Moderate any propensity of a child such
as anger, violence, greedlness for TODD cum
ming, which appears too active. Show him
no example of these.
Let the mother be, and let her select SER
wants, such as she wishes her child to be.
The Youngest child is affected by the con-
duct of these in whose arms he lives.
Let a mother feel as she ought, and she
will look as she feels. Much Of a child S
earliest moral training i. by looks and gest-
ures.
When necessary exhibit frmness and au-
thority, always with perfect temper, COM
posure, and selfpossesslon.
Never give child that which it cries for
and avoid being too ready in answering
| children's demands, else they become I'M
| patient of refusal, and selfish.
When the child is most violent, the mother
| should be calm and silent. Out-screamlng a
screaming child is as useless as it is mis-
! chieyous. Steady denial, of the ohjectscream-
| cd for, is the best cure for screaming.
/ In such contests, witnesses should with
draw, and leave mother and child alone. \
child is very apt to look around and attract
the aid of foreign sympathy for its little re-
bellions
Never promise to give when the child
leaves off crying. Let the crying be a reason
! for not giving.

The Stream of Death.

There is stream whose narrow tide,
The known and unknown worlds divide,
Where all must go:
Its waveless waters, dark and deep,
Mid sulen silence downward sweep,
With moanless flow.
| saw where at that dreary flood,
4 smiling infant prattling stood,
Whose hour had come:
Untaught of i'll, it neared the tide,
Sunk, as to Graded rest and died,
Like going home.
Followed with languid eye, anon,
A youth diseased, and pale and wan;
And there alone,
lie gazed upon that leaden stream,
And feared to plunge heard scream,
And he was gone.
And then form, in manhood strength,
Came bursting ON, till there at length,
He saw life's bound:
He shrunk and raised the bitter prayer
Too late-his shrek of wild despair
The waters drowned.
Next stood upon that surgclcss shore,
\ being bowed with many score
Of toilsome years:
Earth-bound and sad he left the bank,
Back turned his dimming eye, and sank,
Ah! full of tears.
How bitter must thy waters be,
Oh Death How hard thing, ah me
1t is to die.

Another child Of mortal man,
With smiles drew nigh

| see ye waters bear me DER!

NAPoLEoN,s THREE WARNINGS.

EAPOLEON'S THREE WARNINGS.
The celebrated Fouche, Duke Of 0tranto,
was retained but short time it is we'll
known, in the service Of the Bourbons, after
their restoration to the throne Of France.
He retired to the town of AK, III Provence,
and there lived in affiuent case upon the gains
of his long and busy career. Curiosity at
tracted many visitors around this remarkable
man, and he was habitually free in commu-
nicatng his "reminiscences Of the great events
it had been his lot to witness. On one occa-
sion his company assembled in his saloon
heard from his lips the following story:
By degrees, as Napoleon assumed the pow
er and authority af king, everything about
him, even in the days of the consulate, began
to wear a court-like appearance. All the old
monarchial habitudes were revived one by
one. Among other revivals of this kind, the
custom Of attending mass previous to the
hour of audience, was restored By Buona-
parte, and he himself was punctual in his ap-
pearance at the Chapel of St. Cloud on such
occasions. Nothing could be more mundane
than the mode Of performing these religious
services The actresses of the opera were
the chorists, and great crowds of busy talka-
tive people were IN the habit Of frequentlng
the gallery of the chapel, from the windows
of which the First Consul and Josephine could
be seen, with their suites and friends. Inc
whole formed mere daily exhibition of the
court to the people.
At one particular time the punctualty OF
Buonaparte in his attendance upon mass was
rather distressing to his wife. The quick
and jealous Josephine had discovered that the
eye Of her husband was too much directed to
Il window in the gallery, where there regular
ly appeared the form and face, of young girl
Of uncommon beauty. The auburn tresscs,
brilliant eyes, and graceful figure OF this per
sonage, caused the moro uneasiness TO the
ConsuPs wife, as the beautiful stranger
glances were bent not less often upon Buona-
parte, than were his upon her. Who is that
young grip said Josephine one day al
the close of the service, what can she seek
from the First Consul? / observed her &c

it up No one could tell Josephine who the
object Of her notice precisely was, though
there were some who declared her to be an
emigrant lately returned, and one who prob
ably was desirous Of the Intervention OF the
First Consul in favor of her family. Will
such guesses as these the Consuls wife was
obliged to rest satisfied for the time

=. Pulling Together"

THE TRUE SECRET or DOMESTIC HAPPINESS
The first wear of married life is a most i'm
portant era in the history Of man and wife.
Generally, as it is spent - Is almost all sub
scaucnt existence The wife and the hus-
band then assimulatc their views and their
desires, or else, conjuring up their dlslkess,
they add fuel to their prcJudlces and ami
mositcs forever afterward
i have somewhere read, says Rev. Mr..
Wise. in his Bridal Greetings, of a bride
groom who gloricd in his eccentricities. He
requested his bride to accompany him into
the garden day or two after their wedding.
He then threw a line over the roof OF their
cottage Giving his wife the one end of 1t he
retreated to the other side and exclaimed
Pull the line
She pulled it at his request as far as she
could. He cried,
Pull it over
can't answered she.
But pull with all your might shouted
the whimsical husband.
But vain we're all the efforts of the bride to
pull over the line, so long as her husband
held to the opposite end. But when he came
round, and they both pulled at one end, 1t
came over with great ease.
There said he, as the line fell from the
roof you see how hard and Intellectual was
our labor, when we pulled in opposition to
each other but how easy and pleasant when
we both pulled together! 1t will be so with
us my dear through life If we oppose each
other, it will be hard work, if we act together
it will be pleasant to live Let us always
pull together
In this illustration homely as it may be,
there is sound philosophy. Husband ana
wife must mutually bear and concede, II they
wish to make home retreat OF JOY and blss'
One alone cannot make home happy. There
must be unison Of action, sweetness OF spirit
and great forbearance and love i'll both hus-
! band aud wife, to secure the great end OF hap
! piness in the domestic circle.
