phalanges swept down the b arbarians
from the Hellespont to the Indus, or
than that the tramp of whose
legions echoed round the world
But we need CLEAN no further
details from this document, whose
facts and figures arc so honorable to
our people. This nation, with its mil.
lions of inhabitants. with all the va.
ried crea tions of their industry, skill
wealth, and intelligcnce-the works
of our busy hands and thoughtful
brains-with all its accumulated cvi-
dences of the practical superiority of
Republican institutions, must not be
blotted from the worlds map. Consti-
tutions and paper charters ont of the
question. political hair splitting
whistlcd down the wind altogether,
the American people, for their own
sake are worth saving from anarchy
or aristocratic rule. If saved to them
selves within the next twelvemonth,
the coming census will reveal still
greater evidences of prosperity and
national progress than the one just
taken. Georgia, free. would grow
up likn Ohio, and Florida like Iowa.
Should it SO turn ont the great Rebel
lion will not have been crushed in vain
and the free United States of 1870,
prosperous themselves, would exert a
beneficial influence upon other peoples
which should be felt to the remotest
parts of the earth

To Obtain Flowers in Winter,

The ladies we know will be inter-
ested in the following, which we clip
from an exchange. The matter is
worthy of experiment ..H ....... .
Choose sonfe of the most perfect
buds of the flowers you would pre-
serve, such as are latest in blowing
and ready to open, cut them off with
pair OF SCISSORS, leaving to each, if
possible, a piece Of the stem about
three inches long cover the end of
the stem Immediately with sealing
wax, and when the buds are little
shruuk and wrink!ed, wrap each of
them up separately in piece of paper
perfectly clean aud dry, and lock them
up in dry box or drawer and they
will keep without corrupting In win
ter, or at any other time, when you
would have the flowers blow, take
the buds at night and cut off the end
OF the stem sealed with wax, and put
the buds into water wherein a little
nltrc or salt has been dff'used, and
the next day You will have the pleas
ure OF seeing the buds open and ex-
pand themselves, and the flowers dis
play their most lively colors and
breathe their agreeable odors.

Lament of Geo. D. Prentice.

William CORTLAND Prentice, son of
Geo. d. Prentice, died on the 29th ult., d,
at Augusta, KY, of wounds received
at that place on the preceding Satur-
day, while fighting in the rebel army.
The weeping father in announcing the
death in the Journal, says: ... ..5
4" o, if he had fallen in his country's
service, fallen with his burning eyes
fixed in love and devotion upon the
flag that for more than three-fourths
of a century has been a star of wor-
ship TO his ancestors, his early death,
although still terrible, might have
been borne by fathers heart but,
alas the reflection that he fell in
armed rebellion against the glorious
old banner, now the emblem of the
greatest and holiest cause the world
ever knew, is full of dcsolation and
almost of despair" ..-

For the Educational Column of the Intelligene,
TEACHING, A PROFESSION.

Teaching should be viewed and fol-
lowed as a profession, as much as that
of Divinity, Medicine, or Law. The
interests committed to the Teacher
are second TO those belonging to no
other profession, and in many respects
are paramount to all others.
To be able to give a right direction
to all the faculties of the human mind,
soul and body, requires long expert
ence. 1t is only by long and careful
experience that the highest possible
success or skill is ever attained. AT
present, and necessarily too by some,
teaching is followed only brief sea-
son, and chiefly for the pecaniary re-
ward which is connected with it, or
as stepping-stone to some other cal
ling. To make it permanent profess
sion--and it is worthy of the ener.
gics of lifetime ordinarily re.
quire higher qualifications and an in
crease Of compensation. In the larg

Sunday is the family day. !, and
thousands of workingmen, would hard

for the blessed day which brings us
all together. We are off in the mora
ing before the little ones are up, and
when we go home at night they are
mostly gone to bed, or they are tired
aud SO are we, aud it is not very much
we can know of one another at the
fag end Of the week. But when tina,
blessed day comes that is all our own
then we can gather around the table
or tireside, and talk with one another

How the Sioux Fight.

The Sioux Indians are we'll armed,
and are very dcxterous in the use of
the rifle. Their ponies are perfectly
trained. The Indian will support
himself on the side of his pony and
discharge his gun from under the
pony's neck. Immediately after the
of the gun, the pony falls
fiat to the earth and the dismounted
Sioux loads his rife lying on the
ground behind his pony. At word
the pony springs 20 his feet. the
Indian clasps his side and dashes to-
wards his foe aud discharges the rifle
from under the pony's neck as before.

Suffering in Minnesota.

The Indian massacrcs in Minnesota
have produced great distress among
the settlers all along the frontier
counties. Appeals for contributions
to aid them are being made in the
principal cities, and no object of char
ity can be more pressing aud worthy.
The Governor Of Minnesota states that
at least thirty thousand miserable
men, heart-brokcn women, and abject
children are wandering homeless, ma
ked and starving. Certainly our coun-
try affords no parallel of suffering
such as this. Clothing is greatly
needed by these sufferers, for the rig
ors of winter are close at hand.

For the Charles City Intelligence
THE NORTHERN MOTHER.

They are all in the army.
My three brave, gallant bows
They We changed the Peace of home life
For martial pomp and joys;
1t tore my heart-strings sadly
To see them march away,
But when their country called them
l could not tell them Nay.
There one that grasps a true sword,
Commissioned to command
There one within the ranks found,
With musket in his hand
There's one, and he my Youngest,
The stirring drum doth beat,
The faultless martial measures
For proudly stepping feet. ..
Their father fought before them
On many bloody plain -. g:
At Erie and at Chippewa,
At York and Lundy's Lane.
Oh. may his spirit nerve them
When in the battles brunt;
For should they fall, I'll know then
They bear their wounds in front.
God shield my three brave darlings
Throughout these crimson wars
God help them in defending
The good old Stripes and Stars;
God speed them on their mission
To quell the rebel foe
With strength that each arch traitor
May need no second blow.
And when my youngest boy beats
The long loud roll at night,
That tells of foes advancing,
And bids them arm for fight.
God give unto my other boys,
Amid the battles flame,
To one dashing soul,
To one unerring aim.
The list of slain and wounded.
I'll read with trembling breath,
To see how many gallant sons
Have met untimely death
And should mine be among them,
And fall they there like braves.
/ would not wish them holier deaths.
Nor ask them prouder graves

dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Nye
as token of sympathy for their recen
bereavement
Are now your hearts with anguish torn
Do now the tear-drops fall,
Is now your cup commingled with
The wormwood and the gall. ..z
Has the relentless hand of death,
Borne from thy home away
One who bid fair to be in life .....
Thy solace and thy stay s-. I'D.
His voice will not be heard at morn,
When bends the knee in prayer
And at the board Is a vacant seat
All yes, you II miss him there.
Let this your consolation he,
He now is freed from pain,
No more to suffer or to die
Your loss is now his gain
Then. oh prepare your hearts to say,
Thy will, not mine, be done -
- He giveth, and He's taken now,
My own, my only son"
- Yet blessed be His holy name,
He doeth all things well ;
We will not murmur nor complain,
But live, with him To dwell"

IN MEMORIAM
Of Charles Nye, ,cho died in Floyd, Lora.
October -, 1862.
BY W. 5. RIDER


- Died October twenty second -. The words
Have a mournful sound and Iinger
Long upon the lips, as though the utterance
OF words so sad could not be- Gone home to God
Passed through the shadowy vale into the
Sunlight of a world eternal. Entered through
The gates of pearl the city Of our Lord, where
Flows the crystal stream Of Life, and angels
lowering, on untred wing, around the great
White throne, the praises Of the King Immortal
Harp, and harbinger the coming Of the
Called one home.
II is sad to die when one Is young,
And life is one bright dream of happiness
To catch the last Gaint whispering receive the
Last fond kiss the death chilled lips can give;
Then in forgetfulness To call the loved ones
Name, and no answer have, save the echoings
That weave a double gloom around the heartl
The sister, too may mss brothers love,
And no longer share his grief or joy.
/, too, have lost brother and know the
Tie is strong. I, too have felt the deep anguish
That comes oer the heart when the " silken tie
l. broken,' and the soul goes home TO God.
Yet who shall question God, or murmur at
His works.
We who are called to mourn, when sad thoughts
Come clustering around the heart, ask of it
This question % l. it well with our SOM"
Then shall come a still, small voice, as
Though he himself had whispered i, from Heaven,
- IL Is we'll"
