"A Sad Case of Insanity.

Our attention was attracted this morning
by an old man, standing with piece OF
broom corn in his hand, apparently signaling
something out in the Lake. Upon making
enquiries we learn that this man is fisher
man, whose life has been passed upon the
water in pursuit of the finny tribe, to which
profession he has brought up his boys
Some time since, bis sons, four in number,
were on fishing excursion on Lake Michi:
gan, and sudden gale, to which these inland
waters are so much exposed, springing up,
their smack was driven out into the Lake,
and all were lost. Such terrible bereave-
ment has driven the old man distracted
He was very i'll for long time, with dis.
ease induced by the loss of his sons, and
since his recovery has been insane. Wher'
ever he goes, he is constantly signaling with
whatever he may have in his hand to his
sons. as he suppOses out upon the water, anc
calling to him for help. He will remain ir
this position for hours together, gazing fix
edly upon the water, it being impossible
save by force, to distract his attention. Il
is very sad case, the old man, with his
gray hair streaming in the wind, and his lus
terless eyes, glowing with that expression Sc
peculiar to insanity, trying to render assis
tance to his perishing sons Cleveland

Strength Of Kind Words.

Some people are very apt to use harsh,
angry words, perhaps because they think
they will be obeyed more promptly. They
talk loud, swear and storm, though after all
they are only laughed at; their orders are
forgot, and their ill-temper is remembered
How strong isa kind word 1t will do what
the harsh word or even the blow cannot do !;
it will subdue the stubborn will, relax the
frown, and work wonders. Even the dog,
the cat, or the horse, though they do not
know what you say, can tell when you speak
a kind word to them. A man was one day
driving cart along the street. The horse
was drawing heavy load, and did not turn
as the man wished him. The man was in
ill-temper, and beat the horse the horse
reared and plunged, but either did not OF
would not 20 in the right way. Another
man who was with the cart, went up to the
horse, and patted him on the neck, and
called him kindly by his name. The horse
turned his head and fixed his large eyes on
the man as though he would say, II will dc
anything for you because you are kind t(
me |" and bending his broad chest agains
the load, turned the cart down the narrow
lane, and trotted on briskly as though tn,
load were plaything. Oh, how. strong j
q kind word

Education of Children.

True wisdom bids parents keep their child
rem at proper seasons in the background, in
constant subjection, in obedience to an un.
ceasing discipline. They should be limited
in the number of direct pleasures and treats
accorded to them. kept mostly at home,
forced into regularity and insignifcance.- =
No sight is prettier or more pleasant than
to watch the children of sensible mother.
1t is charming to see troop OF girls In
simple dresses, headed by their governess,
range themselves in orderly fashion at the
luncheon-table, under the eye of a vigilant
mamma. Those girls are worth talking to
when they are young, and are worth marry
ing when they grow up. Children love dis
cipline. They ike to be guided, controlled,
and sileaced. They enjoy heing forced tc
think of none but childish things. 1t is only
foolish or indolent people who plead thai
this cannot be done without harshness anc
without erecting barrier between the chile
and the parent Children 6nd out instinc
lively when tenderness is real, and cling tt
parent who they know loves them, how
ever strict may be the control exercised owe
them. Strict discipline, childish pleasures
exclusion of children from conversation o.
domestic difficulties, and moderate but soll'
intellectual teaching, are the great element
of good home education.

Not Yet Up to the Occasion.

Some of the western papers, in their de-
nunciations of the East for not furnishing its
share of vounteers-a charge that is not
sustained by the fgures-reproach us with
taking the war as coolly as if it were holi
day training, and making flag presentations
and speeches take the place of the stern work
required by the national exigency. Although
this is not true, and the western people are
prompted to their unjust judgment of us by
vexation that their troops should be sum-
moned to defend Washington, while Mis-
souri, and Kentucky are left exposed, we are
nevertheless obliged to confess that there is
too little appreciation of the national peril
here, and too many indications Of lack of
interest approaching to Indifference.
We do not half realize, sitting quietly at
home, or going daily about our peaceful avo-
cations as usual the terrible condition of
things in the states where civil war now enacts
its horrors While We enjoy oui accustom.
