A Lesson to n ScOIding Mother.

A little girl whohad witnessed the per
plexity OF her mother on a certain occs
sion, when her iortitude gave way unde
severe trials. said:
"MOther, does God ever fret or scoldl'
The query was so abrupt and startling
it arrested The mothers attention almoS
with shock.
"Why, Lizzie, what makes you ash
that question:"
"Why, God is good--you know you
used TO call him the Good Man. when
was liltIe--and should like TO know i
he ever scolded,"
"No, child, no."
"WeII, | am glad he don't for scoldng
always makes me feel so bad, even when
Pm not in fault. | don't think | could
love God much ifhe Scolded me-"
The mother felt rebuked before her
simple child. Never had she heard 50
lorcible lecture on the evils Of scolding.
The words of Lizzie sank deep in her
heart, and she turned away from the in
necent face of her little one TO hide the
tears that gathered in her eyes. Children
are quick observers; and Lizzie seeing
the effects Of her words, hastened to in
quire:
"Why do you cry, motherl Was it
naughty for me to ask SO many ques
lionsl"
No, love, 1t was all right | was only
thinking bow bad was 10 scod so much.
when my girl could hear and be troubled
by il"
30, no, mamma, you are not bad; you
are good mamma; only | wish there
were not so many bad things to make you
fret and talk like you did just now. 1t
makes me feel away from you so far, as
if | could not come near you. as | can
when you smile and are kind; and o, !
sometimes fear shall be put off so far |
never can get back again"
20, Lizzie, don't say that" said the
mother, unable longer to suppress the
tears that had been struggling in her
eyes. The child wondered what could
so effect its parent, but inStinctiveIy feel
ing it was a case requiring sympathy,
she reached up and laid her little arms
about her mothers nec!; and whispered:
Mamma, dear, do make you cryl-
Do you love mel"
30, yes, love you more than can
TELL" replied the parent, claPsing the
child TO her bosom, "aDd | will try new
er to soold again before my little sensi
tive girl"
20, am so glad I can get so near
to you when you don't scold; and you
know, mother, want TO love you so
much"
This was an ehectual lesson, and the
mother felt the force OF that passage of
Scripture. "Oout of the mouths Of babes
have | ordained strength" She never
scolded again.

DEcEAsE OF EMINENT AMERICAN
STATEsMEN-In recording the death oil
Ex-Secretary Marcy, the Philadelphia
Times remarks:
II seems as if death had found ban
queI among our master spirits in the last
decade. Almost all the great and illus.
trous men who came into public life
during The first twenty-five years Of the
present century, have been snalched a.
way within that time. The list which
memory calls at the moment is formidable
in numbers, and The persons whose names
are upon it were conspicuous for vasI
and varied ability. First, in point OF
time, is that Of John Quincy Adams, who
died in l847; then follows those of Kent,
Polk, Taylor, Calhoun, Clay, McDgfiiss,
Story, Webster, King, Woodbury., Ser.
gent Berrien, Clayton, Hill, Burgess,
Cheves and Marcy. What immense pow.
ers, what political and legal research,
what orntoricaI skill eAd diplomatic er,
uditoD, what wise foresight and won
derlul experience have been lost by their
deaths to The nation! When will it, ii
ever, be restored in the persons and
minds Of olhers7

Men and Women.
Men hate, because in act or strife
They cross each others path.
Short is the space for jealousy,
And fierce the hour of wrath:
But woman'S hate runs deeper far,
Though shallower at tie spring;
Right seldom is it they forget
The shaft that CALLED their wing.
A fairer face, higher place,
More worshisp, more applause,
Will make woman loath her friend
Without q deadler cause.

DEATH OF EZEKIEL WEBsrER.-The
death of this well known elder brother of
Daniel Webster was remarkable and start
ling. 1t is thus described in the Private
Correspondence ofthe latter, just published: /:
He was engaged in speaking,
standing erect on plain floor, the house
full, and the Court and jurors and auditors
intently listening to his words, with all their
eyes fastened upon him. Speaking with
full force, and perfect utterance, he arrived
at the end of one branch of his argument.
He closed that branch, uttered the last sen
tence, and the last word of that sentence,
with perfect tone and emphasis, and then,
in an instant erect, and with his arms de-
pending by his side, he fell backward with
out bending a joint, and, so far as appeared,
was dead before his head reached the floor

LARD FOR CANDIEs.-It is we'll known
that our best candles arc now made of lard,
by machinery. The american Farmer
gives the following recipe for making them
without machinery, and we give il place
in the JouRNAL for the benefit OF our lady
friends:
"Take Ia 10 of alum, "A ID saltpctrc
pound il fine; put il in n pan and then add
sufficient water to dissolve it, but no more
when dissolved, pour in three pounds OF
melted lard; let the mixture stew over a
slow fire; keep stirring until the water In.
all cyaporatcd which will bc the case as
soon as the alum aud saltpntre shall have
collected in small Jumps at the bottom Of
the pan, when it may be poured into tho
moulds, the dross remaining in the pan, auc
moulded the same rs tallow. Candles thus
manufactured will be harder, and give n bet
ter light than those made of tallow, but vii
have a straw color"

AN EDIToR's LIFE.-An "out West" cd
itor thus moralizes on the routine of edito-
rial duties. Our own experience in the
"chair EDITORIAL" does not enable us to deny
the "soft impeachment" but the compari-
sons have amused us somewhat:
''Tho poorest blind horse, in the most un-
compromising bark mill, has its moments of
relaxation. To him the sound Of the tan
merry bell announcing noon, is tocsin of
Joy, and he looks forward with grateful an
ticipations to pandrial of oats and mill feed.
The wearisome round is stopped; the unlu-
bricated gudgeons quaver out last squeak,
and cease their complaining; the trace
chains rattle over the animals back, and he
attempts a youthful canter as he moves off,
a happy old horse. With him there are no
anticipatory woes; he works in circle, but
certain number of turns are sure to bring
a respite. But with the editor otherwise (;
his life is as Mr.. Mantilini feelingly remarks
'one dem'd grind'-his machinery never
stops. Hot weather, headaches, sickness at
home, are no relief to his routine, for tho
paper must come out, and copy must be fur
nished."
