little trouble, but will cause great sorrow in
the end. Ifit should be necessary for him
to be out beyond the usual hour, you would
do well to sit up for him and let in with
your own hand. The fact that parent is

so watchful and so incapable of being happy
without knowing her son is safe under her
own own roof before she herself rests in
sleep, all make strong impression e<en on
a wayward heart. The youth of a family
should all be safely housed at the usual
hour retiring to bed. No good follows
children or families who break through
these hours. The union of the Cheerful,
hearts of household around the blazing
hearth and central light of home, to part at
bed time, with affectionate greetings, is one
OF the greatest pleasures of the day. Itis
powerful cement to the family feeling. Make
all this attractive to your children, and keep
up the habit unbroken In most cases the
night key is the key that opens ,,the door of

Security for a Friend.

| am the last man to say, "don't help your
friend," you honorably can. IF we have
money, we manage it i'll when we cannot
help friend at a pinch. But the plain fact
is this: Pythias wants money, Can you
give it, at whatever stint to yourself in JUS
tice to others? Ifyou can, and you value
Pythias more than the money, give the mo-
ney, and there is an end of it; but if you
cannot give the money don't sign the hill.--

generous who gives; he who lends may be
generous also; but only on one condition,
that he can afford to give what he can afford
TO lend; of the two, It is safer, friendlier,
cheaper, in the long run, to give than to lend.
Give, and you may keep your friend if you
lose your money, lend, and the chances are,
that you lose your friend if ever you get back
your money. But if you do lend, let it be
with the full confidence that the loan is
gift, and count it among the rarest favors of
Providence if you be ever repaid. Lend to
Pythlas on the understanding: "This is
loan if you can ever repay me. shall, how
ever, make this provision against the chance
OF quarrel between us, that if you cannot
pay me it stands as gift" And whenever
you lend, let it be money and not your name.
Money you may get again, and if not, you
may contrive to do without it; name once
lost you cannot get it again, and if you can
contrive to do without it, you had better

Position Of our Troops.

We understand our forces south of the
Ohio and east Of the Mississippi to be SUBJ
stantially as follows. Buelrs army-the
army Of the Ohio-is east of Corinth,
guarding the Memphis and Charleston road
as far as the neighborhood of Chatta-
nooga. The army Of the Mississippi

Ohio road, stretching south as far as Brown

ison the Memphis and Charleston road east
of Cornth, and that part o. the Mobile and
Ohio which is in Tennessee 1t will be
thus seen that the great force lately under
command Of Haleck is broken up into
squads and scattered over an extent of
country more than 200 miles. 1t is pro-
bable that events now transpiring will cause
its constituent parts to be again aggregated
for offensive operations.

Pleasant N elghbOrs.

Ones pleasure, after all, is much affected
by the quality Of ones neighbors, even
though one may not be on speaking terms
with them. A pleasant, bright face at the
window is surely better than dscontented
cross one; and a house that has the air of
being inhabited is preferable to closed shut
tiers and unsocial blinds, excluding every
ray ofsunlight and sympathy. We like to
see glancing, cheerful lights through the
windows of a cold night, or watch them as
evening deepens gradually creep from the
parlor to the upper stories Of the houses
near u.s. We like to watch the little child
rem go in and out of the door, to play OF go
to school. We like to see a white-robed
baby dancing up and down at the window
in its mothers arms. or the father reading
his newspaper there at evening, or any of
these cheerful impromtu home glimpses,
which. though we are Paul Pry, we will
trust make pleasant neighborhood to those
who live for comfort instead of show. Sad,
indeed, some morning on waking, it is to
see the blinds down and the shutters closed
and know that deaths angel, while it spar

YnE MEMORY OF MorHER.-When temp
tation appears and we are almost persuaded
to wrong, how often mothers word of
warning will call to mind vows that are
rarely broken. Yes. the memory of . moth
er has saved many poor wretch from 60
ing astray. Tall grass may be growing over
the hallovcd spot where all her earthly re-
mains repose; the dying leaves Of autumn
may be whirled over it. OF the white mantle
of winter may cover it from sight; yet the
spirit of her, when he walks in the right
path, appears, and gently, softly, mournful-
ly calls him, when wandering off into the
ways Of error.
An editor in the village of Mitchell, @. W.

Much surprise has been expressed at
Washington, says a correspondent, a, the
fact that in some Of the Northern States
there a"e large bodies of troops, raised un.

immediate service on account of technical
oil 'ctions. 1t is said that there are now,
and have been for several davs past ten
thousand men organized in New jersey,
who might have been sent to Washington,
and taken the places of other well trarcd
troops, except that the Governor refuses
TO allow them 10 leave until they are COM
pelely armed. There are arms enough
for them, bat time is required to make the
boxes in which 10 pack them, and they
cannot. therefore, be sent forward TIE
