What 10 an Abolitionist I

We have seen several definitions of
Abolitionism. The Southern Literary
Me.senger, pro.slavery periodical, pub
lished 10 Richmond, Virginia, thus de-
fines an Abolitionist. We accept the
definition as emineutly correct:
"An Abolitionist is any man who
does not love slavery for its own sake, as
a Divine institution: who does not wor-
ship it as the corner stone of civil liber-
ty; who does not adore it as the only pos.
sble social condition On which perma-
nent republican government can be erect
ed; and who does not, in his inmost
soul, desire to see it extended and per-
petuated over the whole earth as means
of human reformation, second in dignity,
Importance, and sacreduess to the reli-
gion of Christ. He who does not love
African slavery with this love is an Abo
litionist.

A Good Starts.A Dissa tisfied Patriot.

An immense war meeting was held at
Columbus, Ohio, last week. Gov. Tod
made stirring speech. Six gentlemen
gave $1,000 each to aid enlistments.
Over SIS, 900 was contributed in all. The
most remarkable contributions, however,
were by three privates in the 18th regi-
ment-one of whom gave 800 aud the
other two S25 each. The Journal says
it knows of only one man who was dissat-
isfied the next day with his subscription.
His dissatisfaction was after the follow
ing sort: "We have heard of but one
man who, the next day. was dissatisfied
with his subscription. Him We saw
yesterday, with eager counteuauce, anx-
iously seeking the committee to correct
the amount Of his subscription. We
saw him, too, as he made his way to their
books, and as he seized pen and with a
dashing hand wrote down a thousand
dollars where before had stood but FIVE
hundred, saying also to the committee,
Gentlemen, if it becomes necessary,

venerable and patriotic Doctor Goodale. "

Never rive your Son a Night Key.

Never give your son night key. In
diligence on this point may first save you
little trouble, but will cause great sor-
row in the end. If it should be neces.
sary for him to be out beyond the usual
hour, you would do well to sit up for
him and let him in with your own hand.
The fact that parent is waiting at home,
the influence Of reception by a moth
er's voice and mothers eye, the demon
stration thus made of an affection so
watchful and so incapable of being happy
without knowing her son is safe under
her own roof before she herself rests in
sleep, all make strong impression even
on a wayward heart. The youth of a
family should all be safely housed at the
usual hour Of 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 aud central light of home,
to part at bed time, with alfectionate
greetings, is one Of the greatest pleasures
Of the day. 1t is a powerful cement to
the family feeling. Make all this at.
tractive to your children, and keep up
the habit uubroken. In most cases the
night key is the key that opens the door
of the way going down to the gates of
death. When importuned, think of this;
and never put into the hands of your
son night key 1t should be held by
yours. If alone.

Security for q Friend.

| am the last man to say, "don't help
your frieud,' if you honorably can. If
We have money, We manage it i'll when
we cannot help friend at pinch But
the plain fact is this: Pythias wants
money. Can you give it, at whatever
stint to yourself in justice to others? II
you can, and you value Pythias more
than the money, give the money, and
there is an end of it; but if you cannot
give the money don't sign the bill. Do
not become what, in rude truth you do
become-a knave and liar-if you
guarantee to do what you know that you
cannot do, should the guarantee be ex-
acted. He is generous who gives; he
who lends may be generous also; but on
iy 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,
aud 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 Pythias on the
understanding: "This is loan if you
can ever repay me. l shall, however,
make this provision against the chance
of quarrel between US, that if you can
not 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 contrivc to
do without it, you had better never have
been born.-E Bul,cer Lytton.
