Children croyyinx UP.

They take their first steps. They pass
from the period of easy obedience, Of
subiection to command, into the period in
which they are to assume the responsibility
of their own conduct. It is difficult
passage. How to carry young man on
from fifteen TO twenty years Of age, is long
steering ground, and both shores are
lined with perils, No one can foresee the
circumstances that betide their children.
As long as they are children, we have the
good Of them; but as soon ss they begin to
leave childhood, and to take hold upon
manhood, we begin to feel that the problem
becomes more uncertain, more difficult, and
more full OF anticipations of pain, and
realizations Of pain. 1t is the. problem
whether they have been educated SO as ITO
endure the temptations Of outer lite: Par
cnts scarcely know what their children are
made up Of. They do not know what strain
will bear. They do not know. where. the
crushing point will be-. They do not know
whether they can be broken or not. For
the family develops not the worst side Of
the character, but the best. Nor 10 there
any opportunity within the family, and
while they are there sheltered, for them to
be set upon by such temptations as may
afterward quite overwhelm them.-lHenry
Ward Beecher.

A Contrast from the Census.

The rebel journals declare that the
oppressions of the Confederate" govern
ment and the high prices of materials in
the South have produceda a very serious
mortality among the southern newspapers,
so that thirty-fye daiies now remain alive
in all the rebellious States. The Southern
mind, which receives the principal part OF
its instruction on stuu,ps by the wayside,
probably will not miss the dead journals,
and the world generally will be none the
worse for this sudden demise; but still it is
curious to look back to the census Of 1860,
to see what was the condition of the Southern
press four years ago. In that year there
were nine hundred and seventy.nine, po-
litcal journals published in all the slave
States against two thousand two hundred
and sixty-three Of the same class in the free
States. OF this number ninety one were

to the rebel confession, but thrty'foe.

words. Don't forget me, says the aged man
