GEN. GRANT AND THE PosY.-A writer

GEN. GRANT AND THE PoNY.-A writer
in Chicago paper gives the following
story of Gen Grant. He snys:
In the village of Georgetown, Ohio
where Gen. Grant spent part Of his boy
hood, the arrival of show Of any kind
was great event, and the one with which
my story is connected was a circus. Peo
pie came from every part Of the adjoining
country in all kinds of conyeyances, to
see the wonderful feats. To the boys the
poney and the monkey were the great OBJ
jects Of attraction. The boys and the
monkey, as if enjoying peculiars favors,
were permitted to ride the pony.
This pony was we'll trained to perform
his part. On the occasion Of which ]
speak, after the poney and monkey had
performed to the great delight of the spec
tators, the manager asked if there was
not boy who would like to ride the pony.
The word had no sooner been spoken,
than out stepped good sized boy from
the country, and took his seat upon the
pony. The pony understood well the
part to be performed now, and as soon as
he was turned into the ring, began rum
ming at the top Of bis speed, and to rear
and kick as high as be could; then sud
denly turning around, the boy went sud
denly into the dust, to the great amuse-
ment of the lockers on. The pony seemed
to enjoy the trick as much as the audi
ence s s's
The manager then said. perhaps there
is another boy who will like to take a
ride" Finally out stepped Ulysses 8.
Grant He was much smaller in size than
the boy who had been thrown by the po-
ny The manager placed young Grant
upon the back of theypony. Ulysses took
the reins in bis hands, and tucked his
heels close in behind the shoulder blades
Of the pony. He seemed to comprehend
the situation. The manager, seeing his
composure and self-reliance, thought he
would give the pony hint of what be
must do. So be gave him smart crack
with the whip, and away he went at the
top of his speed, now rearing SO high as
to be nearly erect on his hind feet. then
kicking up, so as to be perpendicular upon
his fore feet, but Ulysses never lost for a
moment his equilibrium.
The pony, finding be could not unhorse
him this way, ran around the ring at the
top Of his speed. sand then suddenly
wheeled about. But the rider was not to
be taken by surprise be threw both arms
tightly about the neck Of the pony, and
stuck to him, amidst the greatest cheer
ing Of the crowd The pony could no
more throw him from his back than be
could the monkey. He fought it out on
that line" as much as in taking Rich

S. Grant undertook to do, he did,

The MorHER-Scarcely day passes
that we do not hear of the loveliness of
woman, the affections of sister, or the
devotedness of wife; and it is the re-
membrance Of such things that cheers and
comforts the dreariest hour of life; yet a
mothers love far exceeds them in strength,
ia disinterestedness and in purity The
child of her bosom may have forsaken ber
and left her; be may have disregarded all
her instructions and warnings; he may
have become an outcsst from society, and
none may care for Or notice him-yet his
mother changes not, nor is her. love weak
ened, and for him her prayers will ascend!
Sickness may weary other friends mis-
fortune drive away familiar acquaint-
ances, and poverty leave none to lean
upon; yet they affect not mothers love,
bat only call into exercise in still great
er degree her tenderness and affection -
The mother has duties to perform which
are weighty and responsible; the lisping
infant must be taught how to live-the
thoughtless child must be instructed in
wisdom's ways-the tempted youth be
advised and warned-the dangers and diff
fculties of life must be pointed out, and
lessons Of virtue must be impressed on the
mind. Her words, acts, faults, frailties
and temper, are allnoticed by those that
surround her; and impressions in the nur-
sery exert more powerful influence in
forming the character, than do any after
instruction,
All passions are unrestrained truth
is not adhered to-if consistency is not
seen--if there be want OF affection or
murmuring at the dispensations of Prov
idence; the youthful mind will receive the
impress on, and subsequent life will de-
velop it; but if all is purity, sincerity.
truth, contentment and love, then will the
result be blessing, and many will rejoice
in the example and influence Of the pious
mother.
