Who Go Crazy?

Some time ago / examined the statistics
of Lunatic Asylum in Massachusetts,,
(says & writer in the New York Observer J
and was astonished to find that the lar
gest number of cases came from the very
last class of people TO which one would
have looked for the insane. This class
was young farmers pircsl And the report
stated very distinctly the causes of so re-
markable fact-young women take up
on themselves the cares of housekeeping,
with the tolls of farm-life added, and those
of a family, too, unable to keep "help,"
and ambitious to be smart and keep up
appearances, they worry or fret them
selves to death or insanity. There is a
good lesson to be learned from this start
ling fact. Lay it to heart, young women,
and especially young mothers. And not
only lay it 10 heart, but lay it up in your
heads, too.
The moral of it is: Don't worry; don't
overwork; don't try to do everything at
once, and all alone, too; don't think that
the world will come to an end, or that
your folks will be ruined, if this thing is
not done tonight; but take thing quietly,
patiently, hopefully; always be in haste,
but never in hurry; do one thing at
time, and do it well, and then attempt
the next, and then attempt the next, and
take no thought for the morrow: 'suffi-
cient unto the day is the evil thereof
Life is too precious to be wasted in idle
ness or destroyed by worrying. Activity.
energy, industry and perseverance, are all
virtues and graces to be cultivated as in
dispensable to success, and no one lives
up to his or her Christian duty who is in
dolent or Indifferent. But these graces
are not inconsistent with calm, equable
frame of mind, that meets the stern du-
ties of life with faith and hope, bears ad-
versity with resignation, and is not over

They are not your easy, good-for-nothing,

1t in their minds that the world is owing
them living, and they are not to troub-
lie themselves about getting it. Such de-
serve little sympathy and never command
respect, even if they receive kindness
But the people\ whose life is perpetual
sunshine, and whose home is an earnest
of another and still better rest, are they
who pursue life's work with diligence and
delight, always busy with something use
ful, and never obtruding their trials upon
others, but contentedly taking their lot,
fulfilling their mission, making the home
circle cheerful with their smiles, and new

They grow old gracefully Time touch

themselves prematurely into wrinkles on
their brows. Their hearts are ever young

crown.

old as gently as you can.

Public and Private vlllainy.

Says Gibbon, in the Decline and Fall
of the Roman Empire" "Falsehood and
insincerity, unsuitable as they seem to
the dignity of public transactions, offend
US with less degrading idea of meanness
than when they are found in the inter
course of private life" This is true, and
the proverb that corporations have no
souls" which is repeated whenever some
injustice is committed by their officers,
shows that the bad deeds of men in the
aggregate are also looked on with more
leniency than those of individuals. The
course of the copperheads, melting the
army to insubordination, in attempting
to ruin the finances of the nation, in
striving to palsy the arm of the Gov
ernment, and dishonor the flag which is
their only protection, is of such charac-
ter that, if taken in the intercourse of
private life, would send any man to the
penitentiary, or at least, brand his name
with infamy. Topunish such people, dur
ing the Revolution, Washington was at
one time made military dictator. Nor
was the Office a sinecure one. for he made
arrests of disloyal men wheneverit seemed
necessary, and the mass of his country
men sustained him in his acts. OF An
drew Jackson, traitors and disunionists
were SO afraid that they dared not show
their malignance while he lived.
We do not see why, at the present cri-
sis of public affairs, the American people
do not reverse the feeling expressed by
Gibbon, and, as fearlessly as their ances-
tors, condemn tories both by public opin-
ion and by due process of law. The vol
unteers in the field, by their glorious
and unanimous voice, give the cue to
those who remain at the north, and we do
not see why the sentiment of the army in
reference to traitors at home, is not caught
up by those who around their own hearth
stones believe in the glory of the Repub-
lie and the crime of attempting to des-
troy it. If we really despise falsehood
and meanness in public life, why should
not the sentence of the people be pro-
nounced against the criminals and the
brand affixed to their foreheadS? A thief
is thief, if he but steals nickel or q
postage note; we do not mince the epi-
thet why then not call the man a trai-
tor who Is q traitori A swindler, if
caught and convicted, is punished by i'm
prisonment; surely disloyal man is equal
ly worthy of the penitentiary. If We de-
ny these facts, then there Il no use of hav-
ing courts, judges or loyal juries; for if
the law can be violated with impunity at
one point, it may be defed at all. These
things should be thought of when We
hear reasonable harangues or read disloy-
al articles in Northern journals wearing
the livery of Jefferson Davis.-PAiIGdel-

The Eldest Daughter at Home

To be able to get dinner, to swee p the
room, to make garment, 10 tend babe,
would add greatly to the list Of young
lady's accomplishments. Where can we be-
hold more lovely sight than the eldest
daughter of family, standing in the sweet
simplicity of her new womanhood, by the
side of her toiling, careworn mother, to
relieve and aid heri Now she presides at
the table, now directs in the kitchen,
now amuses the fretting babe, now diverts
half score of little folks in the library.
She can assist her younger brothers in
their sports, or the elder ones in their
studies; read the newspaper to her weary
father, or smooth the aching brow of her
fevered mother. Always ready with q
helping hand, and cheerful smile for ev-
cry emergency, she is an angel Of love,
and blessing to the home-circle. Should
she bseallsd out Of IL to originate a home
of her own, would she be any the less

NeighboFs.

1t is good thing to have good neigh
bois; another equally as good is to know
how to be good neighbor. From both
experience and observation we will sug-
gest a few ideas for the benefit of all in
terested.
Neighbor's quarrels usually commence,
like all quarrels, viz: from some trivial
affair; therefore it is prudent to keep an
eye open for small matters. First-look
well 10 the line fences and if not bun
kum' make them so, and ask neighbor
A. lin friendly manner,) if he will not
60 and do likewise, as you do not want
your stock eating up his crop. tand you
may think, but don't say, vice versa. j
Secondly-never turn anything into the
highway to pasture and if you keep
chickens, ducks, geese and little pigs, or
big pigs, do for the sake of peace, keep
them on your own premises. Thirdly
if you are Obliged to borrow anything,
return it as soon as you are through with
it, and as clean and sound as when you
got it. Fourthly if you borrow you must
expect to lend. Most people have some
things that they do not wish To lend -
when obliged to refuse do it kindly
Fifthly-when you buy or sell do so on
the cash system. If you cannot, let each
party keep book and put down both
debtor and creditor, and let no account
run longer than the 3lst Of December
This will avoid many law suits. Sixthly
remember the truthful saying, IF a
man wants friends, he must show himself
friendly" Be ready and willing to assist
your neighbor to do such small jobs as it
takes two or three to do,and he Will help
you in return. We find it very conve-
nient in these war times to exchange
when money will not hire labor Help
those in trouble; be ready to assist the
sick and afflicted, feed and clothe tho
poor, help educate those that are willing
to learn; in short show yourself neighbor-
ly and you will be happier, make those
around you happier, and the world will
be better for your living in it.-Rnral ".

CURIOUS ExPkRIYEHT.-Take piees Of

it into q tube with one end just large
enough to fit around the eye, and the 9th

tween the thumb and finger of the right

the hand, put the large end close against
the right eye, and with the left hand hold
book against the side of the tube. Be
sure and keep both eyes open. and there
will appear to be a hole through the book,
and objects seen as if through the hole in
