A Model Canteen.
BRUTUs.

A peddler recently arrested at one Of,
the encampments upon the other side Of
the river had upon his person . novel
canteen, for which, thus far, q patisBt
has never been applied for, Scores Of
soldiers in the vicinity Of Alexandria
were found to be daily inebriated, hut
how they procured their liquor could
not be aseertained, until one day It was
discovered that the peddler aforesaid
was an active agent. His person was
searched, and upon his back, under his
overcoat, was found strapped 6 tin cam
teen, capable of holding about two gall
Ions, and fitting to his person so we'll
that even the acquaintance who gave
him friendly tap upon the back was
unaware of the near proximity Of tbs
fire. water. e...se.s-s.
Aside from the opening into which
the liquor was poured, and the head at
the top fer the entrance Of the proper
gravity of air to cease speedy fow,-
upon the left side was spiggot, from
which soldier could, unobserved; while
in apparent conversation draw all that
he desired.
In proper hands the. newly devised
canteen would be found useful upon o
long march, but devoted to illegitimsts
purposes, is fraught with injury to the
regiment into whose limits it is received.

WORK AND PLAY.

Recreation can be fully enjoyed only
by man who has some honest occupa-
ton. The end of the work is to enjoy
leisure; but to enjoy leisure, you must
come after school time. otherwise it
looses it SAVIOR. Play, after all, is rel
ative thing; it is not thing which has
an absolute existence. There is no such
thing as play except to the worker. 1t
comes out by contrast. Put white upon
white, and you can hardly see it; put
white upon blacks, how bright it isl
Light your lamp in the sunshine and it
is nothing; you must have dark around
to make its presence felt.
And, besides this, the greater part OF
the enjoyment Of recreation consists in
the feeling that we have earned it by
previous hard work. One goes out for
the afternoon walk with light heart.
when one has done good task since
breakfast 1t is one thing for dwad-
ling idl"r to set off to the Continent or
to the Highlands, just because he was
sick Of everything around him; and
quite another when hard wrought
man, who is of some use in life, sets of
as gay as lark, with the pleasant feel
ing that has brought some work to an
end, on that self-same tour.
And then busy man finds relish
in simple recreations; while man who
has nothing to do, finds all things wear
isome, and thinks that life is sused up;
it takes something quite out Of the way
to tickle that indurated palate; you
might as we'll prick the hide of a hippo
potamus with needle, as to excite the
interest of that base being by any
amusement which is not spiced with the
cayenne of vice. And that certainly
has a powerful effect. It was glass of
water the wicked old French woman
vas drinking when she said. go that
this was sin, to give it arelish!'

The Condition of the Engiish Cotton
Spinners.

Already we have returns from 836
mills, employing in the aggregate l72,-
257 hands. OF these only 64,393 are
in full work; 1852 lose one day, 3d.
397 two days, and 2S,S32 three days
in each week, and 8,063 are thrown into
total idleness. These figures have a
very terrible significance. The life of
the factory operative is, at the best, a
hard struggle. To be cast entirely out
of employment means, in most cases, ut
ter destitution; and short time inevita-
bly, entails privations varying in sever
ity Witk the extent to which industry
is suspended. Worse than all, the evil
is to be rather aggravated than dimin-
ished as the winter advances, and the
toiling masses will find not only their
comforts but their command of common
necessaries lessened in proportion as
the growing inclemency Of the season
renders the need for them more urgent.
The prospect is dismal one, but so far
as this is concerned there s no help
for it.-Lomdon Standard

PHYSICAL Education.

The present times are not wholly dis
astrous. Peace has its evils as well as
war. Alison, in his history, remarks
that ''in long-eontinued peace thero is
relaxation of morals and corruption of
manners in the highest degree injurious
to society. Efeminacy, luxury, and
fraud become common. !" All these evils
have been increasing among US with
great rapidity, through our mercantile
prosperity, within the last few years.
This war will exchange our efeminacy
for more muscular power and better phys
ical developments By this war we have
sent million men into the great gym
nasium, and set them to exercising
We have taken them out Of the facto-
ries and the workshops, and from the
dull monotony of town life, and given
them the soldiers duty, which will
change the thin and slender forms to
the bronzed and muscular proportions.
Many Will die in the war and from its
hardships, and as many others will date
renewed health AID strength from it.
Physically this will tell in favor of our
people for three generations Netobury-

A sermon from al. Leave..

Next to the Bible there is nothing
that speaks more powerfully and beau
tifully than the seasons. Spring breaks
out With the laughing mirth and fresh
ness OF the young child. Nature as
sumes roseate hue and joy is written
upon all Gods works. How cheerfully
we watch the budding leaves and the
unfolding flowers. This is like the
dawn of life. The young mind lives
in the present glory, and sees not the
coming future.
Summer comes. Nature is develop
ed. Earth's carpet is spread; the trees
wave With their green foliage, and the
Howerssare in gorgeous bloom. Heaven
has In pressed upon creation the high
est Perfection. One can hardly realize
the idea that these are perishable. So
it is with the early noon of life. We
see man in the pride of his strength
and greatness, and woman in the sur
passing glory of her beauty-but see
not the invisible mortality growing be-
| Meath
But autumn is here. And the fow-
|ers have drooped, and the sere and yell
low leaf has fallen from the chilled tree.
The cold blast has driven out the warm
atmosphere, redolent with perfume.
Death is written upon Nature, and
Winters white shroud will soon be
thrown over her corpse. So it is with
life. The changing seasons teach US
a mournful lesson; yet, to him whose
heart is right, it is not mournful but
very beautiful.
But the death of Nature is not an ev-
erlasting sleep. Ere many months it
shall cast off its funeral gear and spring
up from the grave with new life, and
bud and blossom as before. Nature
never dies-she only rests awhile from
her labors of mercy and love.
Thus it is with human existence. The
great principle of vitality in Nature is
equally applicable to the spiritual as to
the animal economy. The intellect
may throw its vision beyond the shad-
ows oflife's dreary winter and see itself
in the bloom of an eternal existence
We pity the man who esteems himself
of less value in the estimation of heaven
than are the mute trees or the soulless
flowers.

neglect that had begun to be apparent
about the before happy home. These
increased when the Spring time came
and others, beside myself, came to know
the secret, that our neighbor had
yielded to the tempter, and was become
drunkard. Oh, how our Learts acheo
for the poor wife, as we saw her taking
up the burden of such life, and striv.
ing patiently to bear It'll Of course, the
burden grew daily heavier, and ha1de,
to be borne; but God was merciful to
her, and he gathered her home when
the harvest time came, to the land oi
the immortals.
We could none of US be sad when ws
saw the funeral eortege wend its way
slowly from the cottage, for we felt il
blessed that her heur ofrest had come
We saw the lonely, heart-broken, con,
science -smitten husband, return to the
desolate cottage. eFriends offered to
stay with him that night, but he de,
clined their offers, and we left him alone
with his narrowing mem Notwithstanding
lightly as we crossed the threshold, az
if We had left a murderer in his gloomy
prison house.
About midnight, I was awakened by
the cry of fire, and, springing from my
bed, found the cottage nearly in ashes.
The night was calm, and the fire had
progressed S. far before it was discov.
cred, that few moments more left moth
ing but mouldering ruins, where the
happy home had once stood monu-
ment of Joy. No one knew where the
husband had gone. He has never been
seen here since, and rumor whispered
that he had fred the house, in frenzy
of despair, and fed. l bought the lot
and have persistently refused to
have the house rebuilt. 1t has been,
and shall long remain, a mournful
monument of the blighting curse oi
Ram.
No one ever mourned for the unhappy
drunkarcl. who had been the cause OF
all this rum, for none knew that he was
dead; but tonight l whisper in your
ear, Il secret which has been long known
to me;--that he burned that night with
the cottage, and his ashes fitly moulder
there with its ruins.

see any signs of fainting about this time,
apply the camphor bottle, or throw cold
water in their faces. Be determined so
have them, and ''They," and the per-
sons they have been slandsriig face TO
face. If they were treated IN this man
ner, they would have g thousand excuses
for not calling again o, how cautious
they would be, for fear of being caught
in the same trap again. I would ad-
wise all to resort to this treatment, and,
in short time these vipers, that arg q
pest and curse to society, would hare
to die, and, all the people would say
Amen.
Let US all be careful to show ourselves
friendly in our conversation ahsut xbs
sent persons. It should be q rale, 1
fixed and analterable rule, never 10
speak word Of an absent person which,
we should be either afraid OF ashamed
to speak in his presence. It is not only
unchristian, but uuuaanly, to attack xn
absent person. By this means pefpet-
ual enmity kept up. It makes the
thing still wose, if, while we abuse q
person behind his back, We keep up d
show of friendship before his face,
There is so much Of the devil in this
conduct that the person who is guilty
of it, is fit for no society but that Of in-
fernal spirits.
Let it be remembered that the word
devil signifies an accuser or slanderer.
Ii is slanderer who "backbites With
his tongue, and taketh up reproaoh
against his neighbor." To slander q
good man By forging lies and caluufnies
| is one of the greatest crimes We can
commit against him, except that Of ta-
king away his life; and. perhaps, id
some cases it would be a less evil 10
murder his body than his character
The crime Of representing bad man
worse than he really is, does not fall
short of the other in diabolical malig-
nifty; we should despise both. If We
rob man on the highway, he has an
opportunity of defending himself; but,
SANDER robs him of his character, with
out the possibility of self defense.
A very good man was called upon
once to represent the character Of an.
other, having nothing else to say about
him, said: He is good singer.

will think that have been personal in
these articles. / don't mean Mr.. A,
Mrs. B or Hiss. C; mean whispsrsfs
and backbiters, if there are any in
Meigs County. If there are none, then
we are greatly blessed, and should hold

livered
don't want to be understood to say
that all entertainments and tea parties
are sinful, and always attended By our
characters, by any means. 1t is true,
that have attended some that we're 1n-
profitable and sinful, and to such have
reference in this article. It is also
true that l have attended many that
