GIVE your children fortune without ed
ucation, end at least one-half of the num-
Der will go down 10 the tomb Of oblivion
perhaps 10 ruin. Give them an edu-
cation, and they will be a fortune TO
themselves and their country. 1t is an
Inheritance worth more than gold, for il
buys true honor; they can never spend nor
lose it; and through life it ever proves a
friend--in death consolation.

The PoRT Huron TRAGEDY. - We
learn from the Port Huron Press that
DR.. Freund, who was shot by McGee on
the l9t ult., for improper intimacy with
his wife, has died of his wounds. 1t APP
pears that DR.. Freund was one of the
many religious scoundrels existing in al
communities. He was an Elder of the
Presbyterian Church at Port Huron
McGee had suspected that an improper
intimacy existed between his wife and the
Dr., and he laid plan to ascertain the
fact. For this purpose he had cut a
small trap door under his bed into the cell
lar, unbeknown 10 his wife. On Satur
day morning, the 10th, he told his wife
he was going to Detroit, and took his car
pet bag and left his house apparently for
that object. Instead of going on board
of the steamer, he took circuitous route
20 place commanding good view of his
own dwelling. He had not waited long
before he saw his wife come out, lock the
door, and go up the street. He imme-
diaiely went To his house and entered tho
cellar, and got into bis bed room through
the trap door. Here he watched till he
saw his wifo returning, when he crawled
under the bed. She entered the hou. e,
and in a few minutes DR.. Freund also
came in. They locked the door and re-
tired TO the bed room. Here they un-
dressed, and the DR.. sat down on the bed,
when McGee--who was armed with
double barreled pistol, loaded with two
balls in each barrel---fred both barrels
at once, all four balls entering the Dr.'s
thighs. McGee Immediately rushed out
of the house and alarmed the neighbors,
and told them what he had done. The
neighbors Immediately went into the
house, and saw both of the guilty parties
in the disAajiAe above related. McGee
surrendered himself to the authorities, and
on Wednesday last, after an examination
before Justice Minnie, he was held TO bail
in the sum of $4,000 to appear at the
uoxt term of the Circuit Court of St.
Clair county TO answer the charges pre-
terred against him.

that the experience of so many ages sho'd
not make us Judge more solidly of the

Messrs. EDIToRs The following scrap,
the production of whom l know not, may
be instructive to some Of your readers:
"When God, in his Eternal Council,
conceived the thought Of mans creation,
He called unto Him the great judges who
generally wait upon his throne, Justice,
Truth and Mercy, and thus addressed
them Shall we make MANI Justice
answered and said, Make him not, o
Lord, for he will trample upon the laws
Truth also made answer saying, Make
him not, o Lord, for he will pollute thy
sanctuary But Mercy, looking up thro'
her tears, cried out, Make man, o Lord,
and | will watch over him with my care
through the dark paths which he may have
to tread Then God made man and said
unto him, 20 man, thou art the child of
Mercy, go deal with thy brother"

of older years, too, who are not backward

OF older years, too, VINO are not packWard
to present to his lips the cup that, be-
meath its sparkling, foaming wine, conceals
the venomous reptile that infuses its
deadly poison, at every draught, into his
very hearts blood, and changes his mild,
sunny, confding, boyisb nature into the
savage, ferocious, brutal one Of demon.
Hence, boys, beware of the first glass!
You may make eternal shipwreck in that
dangerous pass.
Annother of those channels may be
denominated Deceit. OIL here is the
fatal termination of the bright hopes Of
future prosperity and ultimate success to
many youthful voyager. Above all
things, boys, be honest. You will find
that no time or circumstance will ever
render false the old adage that Honesty
is the best policy" Be honest with your
parents, your teacher, your companions;
and never take the false and often fatal
step of trying 10 deceive either. You ad-
mire the courage Of a young Washington
that led him frankly to say to his father,
rs he stood in his presence, hatclet in
hand, after having tried its edge on the
smooth body of a choice cherry tree, and
being asked by his parent the author of
the mischief, 81 can not tell a lie, father,
indeed can not. / did it with my little
hatchet." Little George possessed the
germs of true honesty; and if you would
be truly good and great initiate his eram-
pile. The first variation from truth, how
ever slight and Insignificant it may have
at the time appeared, has proved the gulf
that has swallowed up and forever held
in its embrace the bright hopes and pleas
ing fancies Of many young and inexpe-
rienced mind. Again we say, be honest;
be truthful.
Another of these channels is Eva
Company. The dove never associates
with the pigeon hawk, though similar in
form and plumage, for in so doing her
life would be in imminent peril momenta-
rily. So the youth that associates with
the profane, in spite of all good resoh-
tions to the contrary, will be in great
danger of becoming swearer. If he as
sociates with the lcentious, who dare af-
firm that his mind will not become cor
rupted. How can he habitually visit the
gaming table without wishing TO try his
hand, Just once, for the sport of the game,
and thence becoming gambler.
Then, boys, keep good company, and
you will be able to shun one of the most
dangerous forks of those "Narrows" thro'
which your parents, your companions, and
every good man and well wisher to all
boys earnestly desire to see you pass safe
ly, and, once through, to have serene and
prosperous voyage down the bright stream
of life, that flows thence to the boundless
ocean of eternity.
