Wisdom.

the pathway OF lie we can pluck Il from
every branch that waves in the wind. There
is not leaf that falls to the ground which
may not convey some quarklinp gem of
knowledge to the mind Of every INTELLIGENT
being. There is not rose that hides ita
blushing check behind the trembling leaf
that may not teach some lesson Of wisdom.
Wisdom is not found in books alone. Il
- to be seen written upon the green fields
Of nature, printed by natures God. Go
forth into the forest Then summer has
clothed the trees in garments Of green, and
wander along some silver stream whose
limpld waters reflect the grandeur of the
surrounding scenery, and listen to the music
OF the birds az they warble forth their Ma
Eer praise there you may receive thrill

pour forth melody which viii echo and

life, and reycrLerate along tho etornityW.
There you may learn to contemplnte.
there you may learn to think, and there the
voice borue on the wings Of the wind will
tel you that we all do fade as a leaf"
There viii the f0.led lightnings, in tones
of thunder, toll you that as the tree falls
so shall il lie forever. You may leave tlis

linger few moments and return to the
same spot. The voice Of the birds are no

WORK for Children.

One Of the greatest defects in the educa-
ton OF cs!i Is in accustoming them to
work. 1t Is an evil peculiar to our largo
towns and cities. 4 certain amount Of work
Is necessary to the proper education Of
children; their future independence and
comfort depends upon their being accustoin-
ed to provide for Tho thousand constantly
recurring wants that nature entails on them
Even if this necessity did not exist, noder-
ate employment Of some kind would pre-
servethem from bad habits, promote health,
and enable them 10 bear the confinement of
the school-room, anl teach them more than
anything else appropriate views respecting
their future welfare. Il is too often the
case that children, after spending six hours
of the dav in school are permitted to spend
the rest OF the dsy as they please They
do not consider that their success in life de-
pends upon the improvement of their youth
tul hours. 1hcy grow up in the world with
out knowledge Of its tolls and cares. They
canuot appreciate the favOrs bestowed on
them by their parents as they do not know
the tolls cost. Their bodies and minds are
enervated, and they are constantly exposed
to whatever viciols association; are within
their reach.
How often the daughter at the present day

most important o! jgcts come too late No
man or woman is thoroughly educated if
not required to labor Whatever accom-
plishments they possess, whatever their
mental training in the voyage Of life, they

A case occurred yesterday which it is sup

circumstances of which were as follows: Mr.
James McConoly, wh9is coal dealer, IN
offering to pay for some article purchased
by him, produced sheet OF cohnterleits
which seemed to be fresh from the mint.
He was arrested, and on examination stated
that he had received the money from Mrs.
Thomas Parker and that he was not aware

released, and upon his testimony warrant

ana COpperheads and the
Rebels. 4

II will be remembered that General Gar
field, in the course Of his speech in reply to
Long, referred to letters obtained by Rose
crans' spies, from prominent Indi, ma Dem
ocrats; one Of them by Long, a member OF
Congress. to John G. Brcckinrilge, written
shortly before the battle OF Chickamauga.
AT the time Holman and other Democrats
we're very noisy in demanding the name,
General Garfield produced the letters to day
and made very decided futteriBg in the
Democratic ranks thereby. The following
are copies:

John G. Davis was the Democratic Con-
gresham from Voorhees, districh for eight
years, and Eckes has been Circuit Judge of
the same district. Voorhees, made an ex-
ceedingly lame effort at reply, saying that
he knew nothing Of the case, and would
therefore say nothing; then going on to in
dor>e both tho writers rs able patriots, and
calling attention to the fact that the letters
presented were only copies. He did not,
however, deny their authenticity, though
Garfield told him he would be very glad to
have him do so. Garfield stated that the
letters we obtained bya spy, protesting to
be rebel, and thus gaining their conf
dence, who aiterward used them to carry
! him through the rebel lines. General Gar
field is prepared with ample proof of their
authenticity.
