DAYS after. Five days before his death he
noticed an itching sensation on the thumb
which had been bitten by the dog whenever
he rubbed the sensitive portion cIld chills

This was on Sunday last. On Monday he

worked some. On Wednesday he was taken
with vomiting, which continued nearly all
day. Thursday he Was cross ard snappish 20
those about him. At this time Kenyon was
having fits once II three or four minutes. He
talked nationally, and said that he was unable
10 control himself, and did not know what he
might be led TO d.; aad therefore he wished
to be tied T. the bed. This was done, as he
requested. In his convuisions, he tore the
feather and straw beds into pieces, and threw
himself from one side of the bed TO other,
seerlingly as qaick as lightning, moving, at
ne same time, the bedstead twelve or
eighteen inches each way--this while be was

An Old Bachelors Opinion.

Did YOU ever think what a contrast there
is between the young lady of to-day and the
one OF my or even score of years ago?
Then, lady was one who could take care of
herself-eould siag in plain musical English,
wash, bake anG cook all kinds of food, milk
the COW if necessary, and make herself gen
orally useful If she dint she was called
lazy-that was all there was about il. But
now, We have no lazy women; they are all
delicate. The modern young lady is a strange
compound Of dress and nerres-by which We
mean those exquisite susceptbilities" which
cause her 10 shuider when she sees wash
tub, and scream al the sight of a COW. She
IS livirg image, made TO be waited upon.

bachelors are continually harping on wOmen's
faulis-:hat We Do not find any such ladies'

indeed, to tiad young lady nowadays ths,

A Colored Soldier Guarding his Former

A correspondent Of The Cincinnati Com

nsrrstes the following:
A certain wealthy old planter, who used
to govern precinct in Alabama, IN recent

Rebel Leaders Preparing to Ske-
daddle.

A letter to the y. Y. Times from Chatta-
nooga contains the following interesting and
credible statements as to the condition of
things in the heart OF the South, derived
from refugees and prisoners:
Speaking OF the leaders, have been
told by one who from connection and COM
munication with them is well prepared to
speak on the points, that it is an ndispatable
fact that the leaders with whom. when the
final crash comes, there will be not even the
hope of future, have boarded all the gold
they could lay their hands on, preparatory
to escaping from The country. have no
doubt of this. Hundreds who, though not
among the most prominent leaders, have
been more or less conspicuous, either as
original conspirators or in sustaining the re-
bellion after it was launched, have already
gone to foreign countries. after converting
their possessions into ready means. Large
numbers are preparing to follow ard it will
not be long before the leaders will begin to
leave BY blockade runners This know is
the expectation of well informed persons in
Georgia and Alabama, communicated to the
friends left behind-all secessionists. Refu-
gees from districts in Georgia, uncovered by
the panic-stricken retreat of Bragg, have
come in in considerable numbers within the

How TO Speak to Children.

! Ii is uscal to attempt the management oi
children either by corporal punishments, oil
by rewards addressed to the senses, and BY
words alone. There is one other means OF
government, the power and Importance OF
which is little regarded; refer to the hu-
man voice-the soft, gentle, soothing modu-
lations of the human voice; and this seems
20 me to be The more excellent way. | blow
may be inflicted on child, accompanied BY
words so uttered as to cDunteract entirely its
effect; or the parent may use language in
the correction of child, not Objectionable
in itself. yet spoken in a tone which more
than defeats its influence. Let any one en-
deavor to recall the image of fond mother
long since al rest in heaven. Her sweet
smile and ever clear countenance are brought
vividly to recollection; so, also, is her voice
the tones of her voice; and blessed is that
parent who is endowed with a pleasing ut
terance. A sweet voice is a great moral
power if it be employed wisely. What is ii
which lulls the infant to repose? 1t is not
an array of mere words. There is no charm
to the untaught one in mere letters, sylables
and words. 1t is the sound striking the lit
tie ear that soothes and eomposes it to sleep.
A few notes, however unskiilfully arranged,
if uttered in soft tone, are found to possess
a magic influence TO quiet and prepare for
repose. Think We that this influence is con-
fined TO the cradle? No, it is difiused
through every age, and ceases not while tie
child remains under the parental roof. Is
the hoy growing rude in manner and bolster
Gus in speech? | know of no instrument SO
sure to control those tendencies as the gentle
tones of mothers voice. She who speaks
to her son harshly, does but give to his evil
conduct the sanction of her own example,
She pours oil on the already raging fame. In
the pressur- of duty We are liable to utter
ourselves hsrshly to our children. Perhaps
a threat is expressed in a loud and irritating
tone; instead of allayins the passions OF
the child, it serves directly to increase them.
Every fretful expression awakens in him the
same spirit which produced it. So does a
pleasant voice call up agreeable feelings
Whatever disposition, therefore, We would
encourage in child, the same We should
manifest in the tone which We address il.
Anger, severity of reprOof, harsn words, are
of all things the worst. They excite evil
passions, lead to resistence, and become the
stimulents of disobedienee and evil conduct.
Speak gently 10 the child.
