THE GRAVE OF WASHINGTON.

In the saffron tinted morning,
With Potomac's anthem swell,
Where our honored Chief is sleeping,
Minglcs deep the passing bell.
Slowly glides the gallant vessel
BY Mount Vernon's hallowed shades
And that mournful, mellow cadence,
Echoed through the dcwy glades;
'Tis Cslumbia's tender tribute,
Offered to her noble son;
'Tis the free hearts fervent homage,
At the grave of WAsuIEGToN.
In the slumberous hush of noontide,
With Potomac's anthem swell,
Where our honorcd Chief is sleeping,
Mingles deep the passing bell.
Never marble mausoleum
Might such majesty impart,
Nor the loud acclaim of millions,
AS this homage of the heart;
'Tis Columbia's tender tribute,
Offered to her noblest son;
'ris the free hearts fervert homage,
At the grave of WAsHINGToN
In the rosy hush OF evening,
With Potomac's anthem swell,
Where our honored Chief is sleeping,
Minsles deep the passing bell.
Never King in regal splerdor
Won fame so true and pure,
For his name shall be a watchword,
While his country shall endure;
'Tis Columbiss tender tribute
Offered to her noblest son;
'Tis tie free hearts fcrvent homage,
At the grave Of WAsHINGTok
In IKE blue and and starry midnight,
With Potomac's anthem swell,
Where our honored Chief is sleeping,
MinSles deep the passing bell.
Dear the spot to patriot pilgrims
What thrill his name Greatest
"Tis tie signal Of the Union!
IT'S the Mecca Of the States.
Meet such true and tender tribute
To Columbia's nobest son;
'1is the free hearts fcrvent homage
At the grave Of WAsHINGToN

Meal Time.

| Happy is the man who enjoys his meals
whose breakfast is a pleasure, whose din
ncr feast, and whose supper a charming
safety. On such one this world may heap
misfortunes, but they will not affect him.
A well filled stomach is a good shield
| against the darts of care
Dinner-time how it is longed for by the
whining school-boy, as he comes hungry
from school and how unwillingly he leaves
She beef and nice pudding, to creep again
| to the school-room.
There is but one way to account for the
great number Of morbid and dyspcp,c
| people We meet, and that is why they do
not enjoy their meals. Breakfast to man
of this sort is matter Of profit and loss,
and he drinks his coffee with the thoughts
of the value of the stocks and not of the
good it might do him. Dinner to him is
n feat of legerdemain. In an incredibly
small space of time he slows away, through
the medium OF his mouth. a quantity of
solid material that seems to jump and slip
down as if alive; yea, seemingly frightened
| at the teeth, for fear they would close on it
! unawares.
10 snch man, properly speaking there
is no meal-timc; for coming home to sup
per racked with indigestion, lie listlessly
plays with his teaspoon, he chews some hard
hearted bread, to get an appetite, which
never comes.
Oh my friends, be attentive to your meals,
if you vaInc long life. Would you feel well
all the morning? Treat your breakfast as
a friend. DO not attempt too much, but
leisnrcly drink your cup of coffee and mildly
chew your bakers bread, lit is the best in
the morning,) eating sparinsly of meat
Then will you rise from the table with q
delicious feeling OF sanity, and well prepared
for the work to be done. And when tho
all important meal Of the day arrvcs-when
dinner time has come-yuu will sit down TO
your "roast with vegetables" with satisfac-
ton and delight But now be careful not
to gofmandizc Many man has by this
means ro,ltct d a corporation in front of
him that has never left him, like some per-
sons We wot Of, has been burden to them
and an eye sore to all
DO not understand me as recommending
spare eating ; cat to your full but do not
cram. If you are sparins of anything let
it be of pastry. One piece, well enjoyed. is
sufficient. Indeed, recommend doing with
out desert three days Of the week. BY so
doing, when the closing meal of the day ar
fives you will sit down to your cup of tea
and light cakes with a feeling of content.
Caution-if you would enjoy good !
nights rest, with no unpleasant, nightmare
breeding dreams avoid all heavy meats at
this your last meal
Therefore, in the words of Benjamin
Franklin, "embracc these rules and be hap
py."

The Wounded OF the Rebels.

There is one striking fact in regard to the
conduct of the war on the part of the rebel
ofllcals-tho apparent disregard of the loss
OF life or property Of the masses of the
people-recklessness is apparent in all their
actions. But the faithlessness of their con-
duct toward their rank and file in the army
we have noticed on many occasions Mr..
Raymond, Of the New York Times, paid a
visit to Williamsburg, after the battle at that
place, and gives description of the cruel
manner in which their own wounded were
treated by the rebels-when the surgeons did
make their appearance long time after tho
battle, they seemed to pay little regard to
the privates. Mr.. Raymond gives the sub
stance of conversation with one of these
poor fellows
"One Of the Mississippi men, with whom
talked, spoke in the highest terms of the
kindness he had experienced at the hands
oil the Union surgeons, and said it was very
different from what they had been taught to
expect.
II asked him if any of their own sur.
geons had been to see him. He said ore
had walked in the day before and looked at
him, but ho bad done nothing for him; in
deed, they said, they were only looking for
Southern officers. OF the men thoy took
very little notice, leaving them to tho care
of the NOrthsrn eurooonc ubo wal. -
glad to sec, no such distinction. Wherever
l went and talked with the rebel wounded, I
heard only one opinion expressed on this
subject. They all spoke in the most en-
phatic and unequivocal praise of the con-
duct Of all our men, soldiers and surgeons
towards them, dwelling particularly upon the
TACT that they had been taught to expect
very different treatment at our hands"

Study a Child's Capacity.

II some arc naturally dull, and yet strive
to do WELL notice the effort and do not CEN
sure the dulness. a teacher might as well
scold child for being near-siglted, as for
beng naturally dull Some children have a
great verbal memory, others are the reverse
Some minds dcvelopo early, others late
Some have great powers OF acquiring, others
of originating. Some may appear stupid,
because the true spring of character has
never been touched. The Ounce of the
school may turn out in the end, the living,
| progressive, wondcrw working genius OF the
age. In order to exert the spiritual inau-
ence VIC must understand the spirit upon
| which we wish to exert that influence. For
| with the human mind we must work with
| nature and not against it. Like the leaf of
the nettle, if touched one way, it stings like
a wasp, if the other, it is softer than satin.
| If we would do Justice to the human mind,
we must find its peculiar characteristics, and
adapt ourselves to individual wants In
conversation on this point with friend who
is the principal in one Of our best grammar
schools, and to whose instruction | look
back to with delght-"your remarks" said
he care quite true let me tell you little
incident, which bears upon this point. Last
summer, had a girl who was exceedingly
behind in all her studies. She was at the
foot of the division, and seemed to care lit
tie about her books. 1t so happened that
as relaxation, l let them at times during
school hours unite in singing. I noticed
that the girl had remarkably clear sweet
voice-and said to her, "Jane you have
good voice, and you may lead the singing"
She bri shtened up, aud from that time her
mind seemed more active. Her lessons were
attended to, and she soon gained high
rank. One day as l was going home,
overlook her with a school companon.-
"Well, Jane" said /, "you are getting a.
long very well, how happens it, you do
so much better now than the beginning of
the quarter"
~ Go not know why it is" she replied :

said her companion.
"And what was that ?" asked
"Why, she said she was encouraged"
Yes, here we have it-she was encouraged
She felt that she was dull in everything.
She had learned self-respect, and thus she
was encouraged
Some twelve or thirteen years ago there
was in Franklin school an excessively dull
boy. One day the teacher wishing to look
out word, took up the lads dictionary, and
on opening it found the blank leaves covered
with drawings. lie called tho boy to him.

Not a Drop More 'Th0ut It. s
SWeetenCd.

We meet this tale on its rounds. We are
not sure we have not seen it before. But il
will bear repetition if it is old.
Twenty years ago it was the custom in
northwestern Georgia, as indeed it was
throughout the southwest for .drygoods deal
ers to keep barrel of Spirits in the back
roon and to treat liberal customers to a
glass whenever desired.
Fillens and Dewberry were such dealers
in one of the small towns indicated; and
they had for a customer a clever, rollicking
old fellow, named Joe Denny, who drank
whiskey in preference to water always, and
whose wife was "fesh of his flesh" in that
particular. The old couple would come in
town, trade quite freely, and as freely i'm
bibe the spirits in the back room of the deal
ers we have named.
On one occasion both the old man and
old woman continued their potations inor-
dinatcly and as Fillen observed that his
goods went better the drunkcr the old wo-
man became. he pressed her to drink
At last she refused unless he would sweet
en- it with a little store Sugar" FlIens in
dulged her, and when the old people started
home in the evening late, the old man could
scarcely mount his horse, and the good wife
had actually to be lifted and placed on the
pillion behind him. Happily, she leaned
one way and her husband the other, so that
the gravitating point was between them; as
she clung to him instinctively, they passed
out Of the village safely.
Before reaching their home, however,
they had to cross small creek, and when
their horse stepped in to drink, the old
lady, having reached unconsciousness, re-
leased her hold, and quietly lapsed into the
stream below.
Occupied with his thoughts, the old man
did not perceive his loss, but logged slowly
homeward. Arrived there, the children in
quired anxiously for NANNY" but the old
man could only say that she had been on
the "critter" and "the critter hadn't kicked
up nary time" and threw himself stupid
on the bed.
The girls and boys flew along the road
the old man had come, yelling nanny
nanny !" but of course no nanny re-
spondcd.
When they arrived ct the creek, the old
rst girl shouted,
"Yondcr she is, sitting down in the
creek!'
And there she was, seated comfortably in
he water, which came nearly up to her
mouth. AS she swayed back and forth, now

And it is to this romantic little incident in

phrases.

WANT or GRATITUDE IN CHILDREN.-It
is to be feared it is too frequently the case
that children and very young people are ut
terly wanting in gratitude to their parents.
They may and generally do love them sim
cerely and devoutcdly, and may be willing
even to sacrifice themselves for them; but it
never occurs to them that they have any
thing for which to be grateful. 1t seems so
much matter OF course that all good things
should flow to them from their parents, that
they never give thought to the source
whence they are derived. 1t is not until
the PARENTAL hand is withdrawn by death,
that they discover how much they owed to
those who are no more; how much they
miss the tender care that can no more assist
them
