A. Traitor.

When you hear man howlipg about
Abolitionists, write that man down a
traitor.
When you hear man denouncing the
con6scatiou of rebel property, you will err
if you call him anything but traitor.
When you hear man talk about the
constitutional rights of rebels, you may
be sure he is traitor at heart.
When you hear man calling this Lin
coins war, set him down as an unmitiga-
ted traitor.
When any man tells you that the Rebels
are fighting for their rights, you may
safely mark him in the list of traitors,
and you may be sure he belongs to that
class who told US 10 the beginning of the
rebellion, that if there was fighting to be
done, they would fight for the South.
When you hear man denounciDg the
administration of Lincoln and upholdiug
that of James Buchanan and his traitor
cabinet, set him down as black hearted
traitor.
When you hear man opposing the
employmeu. of every loyal man for the
purpose of putting down the rebellion,
you may rely on it, that mans heart is
brimfull of treason aud that he would
rather see Jeff Davis triumph than our
Government be successful
When you find man who holds all
these opinions, aud circulates them, you
can say to yourself that he would be safer
in Fort Warren than running at large
among loyal men.-People's AdUocate

AN OLD MANS ADYIcE.-Never at
tempt to strike the guilty. where by a
misdlrected or too hasty blow, the inno-
cent, tie gallant and the good may suffer.
Never attempt to expose villain if your
efforts in SO doing are likely to injure
those wbo have been the unsuspecting
dupes of his arti6ce Never wager lar
ger sum than you carry in Your pocket.
Never shake hands with man if you are
not really glad to see him. Never forget
when you meet, TO recognize your friends,
and be even mole careful to offer your
salutatioG to those that are poor Never
run extravagantly into debt. for 1t is the
by y-path which leads to moral destruction.
Never quarrel without sufficient cause, but
if it be necessary that you do take up a
quarrel, then see that quarrel firmly to
an end. Never betray confidence of any
kind, but more particularly that of To-
men.

MAMMA WILL DO IT RIGHT Don
sister Ella, don't, mamma will do il right.
said little girl to her sister, who was
nervously trying to pin dolly's dress. So
they waited till mamma came, and she
looked upon the loving, upturned faces,
all rose tinted With health and innocent
child happiness, as she took dolly from
the waiting hands, aud with nimbe flu.
gers quickly arranged the troublesome
dress, she thought not that the "angel
over the right shoulder" was noting the
smile Of satisfaction now resting upon the
faces of her busy darllng>, nor did she
know that she had strengthened their
faith in goodness.
In all their little lives mothers heart
of love had never failed them, nor had
her willing hands refused to smooth away
their little difficulties and they, in their
turn, had crowned her with unquestion-
lug confidence. Then, no enterprise
would have seemed too mighty for her
unfailipg flowers.
As these little ones could draw near
their mother and make known their want
in the assurance that she would do the
right, even so should we draw near unto
our Heavenly Father. who is more ready
to give, thau we to ask for blessings; who
is the source of love, and has given proof
of his love to us, poor sinners, in compar,
ison with which the untirlng love of this
fond mother fades out of brance.
Our Father, too, does all thirss we'll.
Earthly parents may err even from exces.
sive fondness, but he cannot err, who
seeth all things rom the beginniDg.-S

KATIE LEE and WILLIE GREY

Two brown heads with tossing eur's,
Red lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet white and wet with dew,
Two eyes black and two eyes blue,
Little boy and girl were they,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They were standing where brook,
Bending like shepherds crook,
Flashed its silver, and thick ranks
OF green willows fringed the banks;
nalf in thought and half in play,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They had cheeks like cherries red;
He was taller-'most head
She, with arme like wreaths Of snow,
Swurg basket to and fro,
AS she loitered, half in play,
Chattering with Willie Grey.
"Pretty Katie" Willie said
And there came a dash of red
Through the BROWNIES of his cheek
"Boys are strong and girls are weak,
And I'll carry, so will,
Katc's basket up the hill"
Katie answered with laugh,
"Yon shall carry only half )"
And then tossing back her curls,
"Boys are weak as well as girls"
Do you think that Katie guessed
Half the wisdom she expressed.
Men are only boys grown tall,
Hearts don't cnange much, after all,
And when long years from that day,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey
Stood again beside the brook
Bending like a shepherds crook
Is it strange that Willie said
While again dash Of red
Crossed the BROWNIES of his check
Il am strong and you are weak;
Life is but slippery steep,
Hung with shadows cold and deep;
"Will you trust me, Katie dear ?
Walk beside me without fear?
May carry, If l will,
All your burdens up the hill p
And she answered with laugh,
"No, but you may carry half"
Close beside the little brook,
Bending ike shepherds crook,
Washing with its silver hands,
Late and early at the sands,
Is a cottage. where to -day
Katie lives with Willie Grey.
In porch she sits, and 10!
Swiags a basket To and iro,
Vastly different from the one
That she swung in years agone;
This is long, and deep, and wide,
And has-rockerS at the side

Gen. Nelson, whose pame has become
famous during the war, in connection
with the operations of our armies in the
Southwest, was shot and almost instantly
killed, recently at the Gait House in
Louisville, by Gen. jeff c. Davis, also
famous in the same connection There
has been personal difficulty between the
two Generals for some time, and the im-
mediate provocation to the hGmocide Is
understood to have been some very in
sul.ing language used by Gen. Nelson.
