The Serrll0l Oa the Mount:

The Albany Evening Journal (Black Re,
pubIican) says:
Gle who has most Of The Declaration of
independence and Of the Sermon on the
Mount within him, feels most the vitality OF
the work Of the canvass
Let US see hoR the declarations Of the
rifle clergymem compare with the the pre-
ccpts Of the Sermon on the Mount. s4
The Sermon ON the Mount says; "Bless-.
ed are the pcace.makcrs, for they shall be
called the children of God" Henry Ward
Beecl'er says: "Sharpe's rifles are better.
than Bibles"
The Sermon on the Mount says; II say
unto you, love your enemies, bless them that
curse you, and pray for them which despite.'
fully use you and persecute you" A Black
Republican clergyman, at PoIghkeepsie
says:"l pray daily that this accursed Unios
may be dissolved, even If Blood htye 10 be
split" n ia5aaa
The Sermon on the Mount says: aAit
things whatsoever ye would that men should
do unto you, do ye even SO Unto iheHfs for
this Is the law and the prophets.r Henry
Ward Beecher says: 81 hold II to be an ever
lasting disgrace to shoot at q man and nos

LOVE IN A COTTAGE.
NJ WILLIS.

They NAV talk Of love in a cottage,
Aud bowers of trellised vine
or nature bewitchingly simple,
And milk-maids half divine;
They NAV talk of the pleasures Of sleeping
"a the shade Of spreading tree,
And a walk In the fields at morning,
BY the side Of footstep free.
Bat give mo n sly filtration,
By the light of chandelier
With music to play in the pauses,
And nobody very near;
Or seat on a silken sofa,
with glass OF pure old wine,
And mamma too blind 10 discover
The small white hand In mine.
Your love In cottage Is hungry,
Your vine Is net for flies
Your milk-maids shock the graees,
And simplicity talks OF pies;
You lie down In your shady slumber,
And wake with bug in your ear;
And your damsel that walks In the morning
Is shod like q mouEtaneer.
True love is at home on carpet,
And nightly likes his case
True love hath an eye for dinner,
And starves beneath shady trees;
His wing is the fan OF lady,
His foots an invisible thing,
His arrow is tipped with jewel,
And shot from silver string.

The Duties OF MorHER.-She should be

She should never laugh at him-at what he
does that is eunning-never allow him to think
of his looks except to be neat and clean in all
his habits.
She should teach him 20 obey look-to res
pect those older than himself; she should never
make a command without seeing that it Is per-
formed In The right manner
Never speak of chids fault or foiblcs or re =
peat his remarks before him. 1t is a sure way
to spoil a child.
Never reprove a child when excited, nor let
your tone of voice be raised when correcting.
