hg That is gem-the little poem
Z on the. first page of the Telegraph, by O..
W Holmes. 1t goes right to the heart
of every true patriot. Let no one fail
to read it.
And the story which follows it
ssTell the Truth"-will touch chord in
the heart of every reader, and every one
ought to read it. We regret that we
are unable to credit the source from
which it came.
Early attachment" is another
good thing, and will do to read in all
families, and by all the members thereof.
Somebody, and, probably, thousands
will be the better through life, by rea-
son of the ideas suggested therein.
-"About order" is especially adapted
to little folks, but bigger ones will do
well 10 neSU bue ltSsuu IL IedCneS. 1nS
hardest struggle of life is to abandon
confirmed habits. 1t is of the first i'm
portance, therefore, to avoid forming
such as need to be abandoned, and to
acquire those which will promote our
interest and happiness.
-"Be patient with the little ones, :"
contains matter for thought, reflection,
and practical application of every pa
rent, teacher, and other person who has
the care and charge Of children. Few
realize the responsibility of forming
young minds. A hint, obtained from
such an article, is often Of more value
than the reading of whole book, FORM
ally devoted to the duties of such rela-
tions.
-"A plain truth is very plain, and
Fanny puts it in a form not likely to be
forgotten. We should not wonder if
that little scrap should do more good
by its wide circulation and keen point
than any twenty sermons.
Astounding developments before
the U. Grand j urys' found on the first
page, should not be overlooked by any
reader. It presents an alarming state
of things. Let every reader cut out the
document and preserve it for future use.

SENATOR Douglas last letter will be-
found on the last page Of this weeks.
Telegraph. We gave his last speech in
our last. They are important docu-
ments, not so n uch from what they con-
tain, as coming from the source they
do. Bad men are now using the name
of Douglas to further the interests of a.
party in sympathy with the rebellion.
They use for that purpose his speeches,
made in the heat of partisan contests,
and before the Southern wing of the
party had taken up arms to overthrow
the Union. These heated expressions
of Senator Douglas are given out by the
Vallandighams and Medaries of the
party, to lure into their fold the honest
Democrats who would have gone with
Douglas, had he lived, against these
bad men, 1t is at the request of such
men, and that they may have the last
and almost dying declarations of their
great leader, that we reproduce these
documents. Let every patriotic Doug
las Democrat preserve these papers that
he may be able to repel the wiles of the
crafty rebel who would use his name to
the injury of the country.
The articles above referred to, to :
gether with some two columns of poetry
and scraps not named, make up the out
side Of the Telegraph this week, and
with the editorial, correspondence, news,
gleanings, notices, local items, &C.,
which make up the inside, present to
the readers, we confidently submit, the
full value of the money it costs.
