Fretfulness.

Fretfulness Is great lender of misery
1t begins Its loans to very young borrow
ers and there is great danger that if its
debtors draw on it early they will become
sad spendthrifts of misery, and scarcely ev-
er be able to free themselves from the
clutches of their hard task and creditor
There is nothing more successful in making
people unnecessarily miserable than fret
ful, dlscOntented spirit. 1t works Ill in
two ways it causes its victims to think bad
ly OF themselves, and (what is worse) to
think badly OF other people, too. Fretful-
ness and peevlshness are very much under
our own control. Men can choose to what
extent they will permit circumstances to have
influence over them, and the character of
that influence. An eccentric person, of the
Johnsonian school, has made a sort of IA
bic on this subject He maintains that all
kinds OF weather may be made charming to
man If he so will that if he will go out
IN the rain, without any defence, and pre-
tend to know nothing about the showers.
the ram Will cease for him, each drop ex-
claiming: 1t isno use raining upon that
man, he does not mind it. There is NOR
al to that fable and wesmay be sure that
II, instead OF allowing every slight incident
IN personal, social or family life to ruffle our
tempers and make us wretched. we were de
termined to regard fewer of them, the wear
and tear oflIfe would be much less, and days
and hours would pass more pleasantly In
every house every day there are trivial cir
cumstances which, if dwelt upon will cause
trouble for a long time but which are so
small that they should never be noticed.
Said Cervantes, Hast thou a mind to quar-
rel with thy wife ? Bid her bring water to
thee in the sunshine very fair quarrel
may bea about notes in the clear water. Yes;
great misery-all borrowed. none of it ne
cessary-is brought to families by the fret
ful, catious, querrulous seedlings that occur
every day by the ridiculous, prosecuting,
vexing, vixenish notice taken of paltry
things at home. Fathers and mothers
brothers and sisters if our homes are to be
happy, joyous places, hunt out mere fretful-
ness, and make the love borne by one to the
other as considerate to mutual happiness as
is the courtesy that is paid by and to stran-
gers.

Mr.. Lincoln,s Last Aneodote.

A gentleman just returned from Washing
ton relates the following incident that trans
pred at the White House the other day
Some gentlemen were present from the west,
excited and troubled about the commissions
and omissions Of the administration The
President heard them patiently and then
replied Gentleman, suppose all the prop
erty you were worth was in gold, and you
had put it in the hands of Blondin to carry
it across the Niagara River on a rope, would
you shake the cable or keep shouting out to
him-Blondin stand up a little stralghter-
Blondin stoop little more-or little fas-
ter-lean a little more to the North-lean a
little more to the South No, you would
hold your breath as well as your tongue, and
keep your hands off until he was safe over.
The Government officers carrying an immense
weight. Untold treasures are in their hands.
They are doing the very best they can.
Don't badger them, Keep silence and we Il
get you safe across.

EloGuenne of Andy Johnson,

The following is one Of the most truly ell
oquent passages ever spoken. 1t Is from a
speech delivered by Andrew johnson in A
pril last to a mass meeting Of the people of
Knoxville and vicinity:
My countrymen my heart yearns to-
ward you; | love you; [ am one Of you.
/ have climbed yonder mountains that you
have climbed, yonder mountains rock ribbed
and glowing III sunshine, IL whose gorges, in
whose caverns, your sons, hunted like wild
beasts, have fallen to rise no more. | do not
speak OF these things to draw your tears. 1t
is not the time for tears, but for blows.
speak OF them that [ may FIRE your he art
with holy Indignation, and nerve your arms
for unconquerable fight. And [ speak Of
them because the mountains seem to talk to
me. My home is among the mountains,
and though it is not far away, cannot go
to it. 1t Is the place where ! met her and
loved her, and married her who is the moth
er Of my children. Do | not love the noun
tains, then2 And if liberty is to expire, if
freedom is to be destroyed, if my country,
in all its length and breadth, is 10 tremble
beneath the oppresscr's tread, let the flag,
the dear old flag, the last flag be planted on
yon rocky heights, and upon it let there be
this inscription: Here is the end Of all
that is dear TO the heart and sacred to the
memory Of man.

LYRICS FOR THE TIMES.

Learn to think and learn to labor,
Better TO wear out than rust;
Help yourself and aid your neighbor,
On your own exertions trust;
Though your progress may be slowly,
Toiling on from year to year
Though you may be poor and lowly,
Be man and persevere.
Now's the time be up aud doing,
Time once past none can recall.
Sioth and ignorance lead to rum,
Think and labor, one and all
Monuments of stone will cIumble-
Fall like leaves before the blast;
But simple truths. however humble,
Will, through countless ages last
knowledge is a crystal fountain.
All who choose may freely drink
Grains of sand will form mountain,
Learn to labor and TO think.
Learning dwells mott college,
Use your hands and use your brain,
Were mankind possessed with knowledge
How long would tyfant reig1l

Men often, often say ''no trust, and per
haps they are often right. But Nature de-
mands the fullest trust of all who seek her
gifts. The words mo trust are never
written upon her door posts. 1t is all trust,
when the seed is sown that she will surren-
der it again all trust when the blades is
green, that the harvest will not fail; all trust
that the sweet influence of the Pleiades will
be shed, and the singing birds return.

4 KIND WORD FoR MOTHER De
