rHE uNcoMr1Arre MOTHER

A great many admirable actions are over
looked by US because theT are so little and
common. Take, for instance, the mother who
has had broken slumber, If any at all, with the
nursing babe. whose wants must not be disre.
garded; she would fain sleep awhile when the
breakfast hour comes but patiently and uncoui-
plainingly she takes her timely s0at at the ta-
BE. Though exhausted and weary, she serves
all with 4 refreshing cup of coffee or tea before
che sips it herself, and often the cup is handed
back to her TO be refilIed before she has had
time TO taste her own. DO you hear her com
plain, this weary mother, that her breakfast Is
cold before she has time to cat it? And this
s not for one, but for every morning, perhaps.

thing! Try it and see. Oh how does woman
shame rs by her Forbearance and fortilude in
what are called little thingsl Ab, it is these
little things which are the tests of character;
il Is BY these @little" selfdenials, born with
such selfForgOtten gentIeness, that the humblest
home is made beautiful to the eyes Of angels,
though we fail to find it, alas until tbs chair is
vacant, and the hand which kept in motion all
this domestic machinery is powerless and
cold.

not be like the torch blaze Of unnatural excite

FORGOTTEN.

"Generation after generation" says an elo-
q1ent writer, "have felt as we feel, and their
fellows were as active in life as ours are now.
They passed away as vapor, while nature
wore the same aspect Of beauty as when her
Creator commanded her TO be. Aud so like
wise shall it be when we are gone. The heav-
ems will be as bright over our grave as they
are now around our path; the world will have
the same attraction for offspring yet unborn
that she bad once for ourselves, and that she
has now for our children. Yet little while,
and all this will hare happened The throb-
bing heart will be stilled, and we shall be at
rest. Our funeral will wind on It's way, and
the prayers will be said, and the grave clods
will be thrown in. and our friends will all re-
turn, and we shall be left behind to darkness
and the worm. And it may be for some short
time we shall be spoken Of; but the things Of
life will creep in, and our names will soon be
forgotten. Days will continue TO move on,
and laughter and song will be heard in the
very chamber in which we died; and the eye
that mourned for US will be dried and will gis-
ten again with joy; aud even our own children
will cease TO think OF Us. and will not rememi-
Der to lisp our name. Then shall we have
bes0Re, in the touching languageof the Psalm
tst, forgotten and clean out of mind"

Popular Elections.

We regret the necessity that appears to
exist for the filling of vacancies in this
State, caused by Senators and members &C.
cepting Offices in the Confederate army. 1t
is also to be regretted that Congress did
not postpone the election for the Senators
and members of that body and Presiden-
tial electors until after the close of the pre-
sent war. ..-.s
There should be nothing at this time to
distract our people, who have engaged in
a high and patriotic work-the disenthral-
ment of their country; and as there can be
no popular election, where rival candidates
are in the field, without some petty dissen-
sions, it is pity the necessity has been
forced upon US.
The only remedy left us now is to have
the election conducted with as little rivalry
as possible, and certainly with no personal
squabbles or animosity. Let the people
themselves indicate in some way their
choice, so that no electioneering contest
may take place in the State.
We must remember that a large portion
of our voters are on the field, and will prob.
ably be there when our elections take place.
They are fighting the battle Of our inde-
pendence, and it would be source Of great
modification to see those who have remain
ed at home squabbling over this or that Of
fee, forgetful of the hardships and priva-
tions that the soldiers have to endure, and
overriding the great cause, dear to all, to
crafty petty ambition for oaice.-Guar-
