with more grief and pain than l can ex-

Young man meets pretty face in the
ballroom, falls in love with it, courts it,
marries it, goes to housekeeping with it,
and boasts of having home and wife
to grace it. The chances are nine to one
he has neither. Her pretty face gets to
be an old story, or becomes faded or
freckled or fretted; and as the face was
all he wanted, and all he set up with,
all he bargained for, all he swore to love,
honor and protect, he gets sick of his
trade, knows a dozen faces which he
likes better, gives up staying at home
evenings, consoles himself with cigars,
oysters and politics, and looks upon his
home as very Indifferent boarding
house. A family of children grow up
about him, but neither he nor his 'face"
knows anything about training them, so
they come up acknowledgements toys
of when babies, dolls when boys and
girls, drudges when young men and
women; and so passes year after year,
and not one quiet, happy, homely hour
is known throughout the whole hOus-
hold. r.-.-E t.t.
Another young man becomes enam-
ored of a fortune" He waits upon it
to parties, dances the polkas with it, ex-
changes billet dour with it, pops the
question to it, gets ''yes' from it, takes
it to the parsons, weds it, calls it "wife, {"
| carries 1t home, sets up establishment
with it, introduces it to his friends, and
says (pOOr fellowD he too is married and
got home. It's false. He is not mar
ried; he has no home, and he soon finds
it out. He's in the wrong box, but it's
too late to get out of it. He might as
we'll hope to escape from his coffin.
Friends congratulate him, and he has to
grin and bear it. They praise the house,
the furniture, the cradle, the new Bible,
the new baby, and then bid the "furni-
| ture" and he who husbands it good
morning! as if he had known good

Curled hair never before had such
charms. The delighted whiskers make
an offer, protfering themselves both
in exchange for one heart. The dear
miss is overcome with magnanimty,
closes the bargain, carries home the
prize, and shows it to pa and ma, and
calls herself engaged to it; thinks there
never was such pair of whiskers before,
and, in few weeks, they are married.
Married? Yes, the world calls it so, and
so we will. What is the result? A
short honeymoon, and the unlucky dis
covery that they are as unlike as chalk
and cheese, and not to be made one

How TO TRAIN BOYs.-"E. H. Arr"
in writing to the Springfield Republican,
gives some sensible remarks in regard to
training up a boy in the way he should
go. He says:
Hosts of selfish, thoughtless mothers
shall send upon us another generation
of listless, vapid sons, open to tempta-
ton. Years ago a son of my own was
the object of pleasant theories and
plans. An unerring teacher took him
hence; yet have I learned through him
to look with loving eyes on other wo-
mems sons and think what 1 would do
with them. Oh! hunt out the soft, ten
der, genial side of your boys nature
Make the most of any gentle taste or
comedy propensity. Encourage them to
love flowers, pictures, and all the beau
tiful things which God has made. Talk
with them, read to them, 60 out with
them into the fields and woods, and
hallow pleasant scenes with holy MEM
cries. A daily ministration to their I'M
furnished, hungry minds, daily touch
to their Uniformed taste, shall make
them more comedy than costly garments.
They will ever bear you witness in the
character and conduct of your children;
but your laces and embroideries will
crumble to dust. Why don't mothers
teach their children more, and dress
them less?

CURE FOB DIARRHEA.-Mr. Larson,
of Brooklyn, who served for two years
as private in Duryea's Zouaves, states
that his regiment suffered much from
the above complaint. Tea made from
blackberry roots proved to be a certain
cure, and in many instances within his
knowledge suffering soldiers were speed
lily relieved by its use. Two tablespoon
fuls should be taken three or four times
day.

EMPTY SToMACHs.-A business man
who has been hard at work all day, will
enter his house for dinner as grabbed as
hungry bear. The wife understands
the mood while she says little to him, is
careful not to have the dinner delayed.
In the meantime the children watch
Inbim cautiously, and do not tease him
18th questions. When the soup is
kgulped, and he leans back and wipes his
mouth there is an evident relaxation,
land his gentle wife ventures to ask for
the news. When the roast beef is dis

Hands are merry, and the face of the

Are very sensitive to the influence OF
hunger, and often when we think we
are witnessing some fearful proof of the
total depravity of human nature in
a young child, we are only witnessing
the natural expression of desire fol
