DON'T.

Don't begin anything without seeing
your way "clesr through" The adv ce
applies equally well to speculations in real
estate, polite speeches and quotations from
the poets.
Don't think it superhuous to be atten-
tive to old ladies with spectacles, SO shall
you be glorified aftcrward unto their pref
ty daughters and charming neices.
Don't lie in bed in the morning, con-
sidering what you would do if you were
worth hundred thousand dollars; it is a
great deal wiser to be up, earning rath-
err smaller sum of money.
Don't suppose that flattery succeeds
better with women than straight forward
common sense. They may amuse them
selves with the former, but the latter
makes the most lasting impression.
Don't imagine that it is "not worth
your while" to do a trifing kindness to
an insignificant to eoncliats in this world
of changes
Don't attempt to talk about things you
don't fully uaderstand--don't get married
until you can support wife-don't fret
about things that can't he helped, and
when we think Of any more sage counsels
wen let you know.

Religious Privileges.

That was novel but not so bad argu
mcnt, which the mountain member urged
in the Kentucky Legislature:
A few years ago, a bill proposing q
premium on fox scalps, was under con.
81 deration; 1t had been somewhat rough
ly handled in debate by members from
the more populous regions, where foxes
were scarce, and Mr.. K, from one OF
the mountain counties arose to reply
| give only his peroration:
Sand are we, Mr.. Speaker-not only
to witness the annual destruction of our
crops, but actually to be deprived by these
yarrnints of the consultations of religion
This worked the house up and set it
all agape for an explanation. He contn-
ue1:
"You know, Mr.. Speaker, that VIC live
in rough country; that your churches
your Presbyterian and Episcopalians
never send preachers among US. We
depend for the gospel upon the circuit RI
ders of the Methodist church; and sir,
everybody knows that they cannot be in.

ems, sud that chickens cannot be raised

A Mothers Love.

Children, look in those eyes, listen to
that dear voice, notice tho feeling of even
single touch of that dear hand Make
most of it while yet you have that most
precious of all good gifts-a loving moth
er. Read the unfathomable love of those
dear eyes; the kind anxiety of that tone
and look, however slight your pain. In
after life you may have friends, fond
dear, kind friends, but never again will
You have the inexpressible love and gen.
tleness lavished upon you, which none
but mother bestows. Often do / .igh
in my struggles with the hard, uncaring
world, for the sweet, deep serenity lis
tened to some quiet tale, suitable to NV
age, read in her tender and untirins voice.
Never can / forget her sweet chances up-
on me when | appeared to sleep; never
her kiss of peace at night. Years have
passed away since we laid her beside my
father in the old churchyard; yet. still
her voice whispers from the grave, and
her eve watches over me as | visit spots
long since hallowed to the memory of my
mother.-Nacauley.

Pretty Good.

The Hon A. s. OWEN, who haas spent
much of his time for the last two or three
years in Missouri on business and was
necessarily at the Safe Capitol during
the sessions of the Legislature formed
a very general acquaintance with its MEM
bers. One day in conversation with sew
eral Of these members, one Of them said,
"Now, Diven, you have been a good deal
in our State, and seen much If our peo-
pie; don't you think our slaves are bet
te, off, and live better than the free ne
groes of the Northw
"Well," said Diven, II do not know
much about your negroes, but if they do
not live better than many of your white
folks, should think not"

CONTROLLING THE INcLINATIoN.-It is
hard work to control the workings of in
clination, and turn the bent of nature
but that it may be done / know from ex-
perience. God has given us, in a meas
ure, the power to make our own fate !;
and when our energies seem to demand a
substance they cannot get-when our

low-we need neither starYe from inanit
ion, nor stand still in despair; we have
but to seek another nourshment for tina

ionged to taste and perhaps purer; and to

Douglas.

Douglas is travelling around the coun-
try, and seizes every occasion to expatiate
on Popular Sovereignty as the great in
fal!iable remedy for the ills which the Ma
ton is heir to. 1t is amusing to consider
his repeated assurances to the curious
crowds, that he is the identical. old orig
inal Doctor Jacob Townshend and his the
only genuine Sarsaparillia. But the peo-
pie won't believe him.

WOman's Qualities.

The Characteristic qualities of woman
when true to the type of her being
delicacy, modesty, reserve, and chastity
in thought and feeling, word and action
her sweetness, gentleness, patience, sym
pathy, tenderness, dependence, devotion
her senslbiity to beauty and grace, order,
fitness, her intellectual faculties-moIe
receptive than productive-thought rest
ing more on feelings than feelings on
thought-makiug her more acceptable to
culture and refinement than apt for grasp
ing the ubstruse and rugged in science
and practical life; all these are charms for
men, through which man gets unspaka-
BILE good to his own nature; while mans
harder texture in body and mud Ibis
strength, courage, self reliance, his grasp.
and productive power in the world Of
thought and action, draw woman to him.
Thus each finds in the other what each
one needs. The womanly woman feels
herself strong and brave when she leans
on man, and mans manly courage grows
stouter, and at the same time the rugged
hardness of his nature is softened by Ten
der reverence, as with one arm he sup
ports and with the other protects the gen
tie one clinging to his side. Ineverything.
in short, in which they are made different,
it is that each may find their proper coun-
terpart in the other. They are made diff
erent in order that they may beooms one,
Out Of this very difference springs the
closest uaion-the union of mutual love,
whereof marriage is the outward rspre-
sentation. Only in this true married IN
ion, and in the home of love that builds
itself out Of it, can the fullness and per-
lection of the individual life, dignity. and
worth Of each be found and realized. -

The Prospect.

The prospect for Republican success
in November is good. 1t is true that in
many sure R publican states there is but
little excitement, but there is no need of
any. In all the states deemed my way
doubtful, the canvass is spirited one.
In New York, the leaders of the Bell and
Everett party, have gone over to Douglas
for the avowed purpose of throwing the
election into the House if possible, but
Republicans have no fears that it can DO
accomplished. Lincoln is the coming

Mr.. EDITOR The dog law, under the
operation of which these dog days, may
be well latinized into dog dies, gives sat

whatever some particular dogs may think
oft. In financial point of view, we
might well wish, that every one of cur
population had bis regular dog, on whose
account he would pay bis regular dollar,

rived to the city, would, in say two years,

not probable that within that time, sheep
enough will be brought into our vicinity,

have too many dogs and too few people;

of our citizens generally. So confident
are we that the marshail's count is incor-
rect, that another enumeration on our
own hook has been commenced and will
probably be completed in few days.
Meanwhile, since the marshall reported
his figures, several public spirited ladies,
have, with commendable regard for our
needs, added at least one APIECE to our
numbers.
For one case of this kind, our friend
ELw-LI, of the Star, takes to himself no
little credit. If bis next paper is unusu-
ally airy and independent in style and
tone, you will know the reason why.
Well, let us congratulate him on his
success, all the more cordially, that the
high hopes which he seems to cherish
concerning the result of the approaching
elections, will 10 all probability be dissp-
pointed.
Lincoln's portrait has got up into this
county, and homely men seeing it take
heart. / am satisfied that every one OF
his adherents have better grounds for
their foalty than mere appearances.
