REMEMBER ME.--There are not two other
words in the language that can recall Il
more fruitful train of past remembrances
of friendship than these Look through
your library, and when you cast your eyes
upon a volume that contains the name of
an old companion, it will see, Remember
me- Have you an ancient album, the re-
pository of mementos of early affection !?
Turn over its leaves, stained by the finger
of time-sit down and ponder upon the
names enrolled on them-each speak, each
says Remember me. Go into the crowded
churchyard, among the marble tombs, read
the simple and brief inscriptions that per-
petuate the memory Of departed ones they
too have voice that speaks to the heart
of the living, aud says, Remember me-
Walk in the scenes of early rambles the
well-known paths of the winning streams,
the overspread trees, the green and gently
sloping banks, recall the dreams of juve-
nile pleasure, and the recollections of youth
ful companions they too bear the treas
ured injunction, Remember me. And this
is all that is left of the wide circle of our
earthly friends. Scattered by fortune, or
called away by DEATH or thrown without
our rank by the changes of circumstances
or of character-in time we find ourselves
left alone with the recollection of what they
were.
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1865-05-25

MEDTATIoN.-Go to the grave of buried
love and mediate There settle accounts
with thy concience for every past benefit
quitted-every past endearment unre-
garded, of that departed being who can
never-never- return to be soothed
by thy contrition! If thou art child and
hast ever added q sorrow to the SOUL or a
furrow to the silvered brow of an affection
ate parent il thou art husband, and hast
ever caused the fond bosom that ventured
it's whole happiness in thy arms to doubt
one moment of thy kindness or truth if
thou art a friend, and hast ever wronged
in thought, or word or deed, the spirit that
generously confded in thee if thou art
lover, and hast ever given one unmerited
pang to that true heart which now lies cold
beneath thy feet--then be sure that every
unkind look every ungracious word, every
ungentle action, will come thronging back
upon thy memory, and knocking doefully
at thy soul then be sure that you will lie
down sorrowing andrepentant on the grave,
and utter the unheard-groan, and pour the
unavailing tear--more deep, more bitter,
because unheard and unavailing - Wash

GIRLS SHOULD LEARN HoUsEKEEPING.--No
young lady can be too well instructed in
anything which will affect the comfort of a
family, Whatever position in society she
needs practical knowledge of household
duties. She may be placed in such cir
cumstances that it will not be necessary
for her to perform much domestic labor
but on this account she needs no less
knowledge than if she were obliged to pre-
side personally over the cooking stove and
pantry. Indeed, | have often thought that
it IS more difficult to direct others, and re-
quires more experience, than to do the
same work with our own hands. Mothers
are frequently so nice and particular that
they do not like to give up any part of
their care to their children This is,a great
mistake in their management, for they are
often burdened with labor, and need relief.
Children should be early taught to make
themselves useful-to assist their parents
in every way in their power, and to consid-
er it privilege to do so,
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1865-05-25

MORAL CoURAGE.-Have the courage to
discharge debt while you have the money
in your pocket.
Have the courage to speak your mind
when it is necessary you should do So and
hold your tongue when it is prudent to do
so.
Have the courage to speak to a friend in
p" seedy coat, even though you are in
company with rich one, and we'll attired
Have the courage to own you are poor,
and disarm poverty of its sharpest sting
Have the courage to "cut" the most
agreeable acquaintance you have, when
you are convinced that he lacks principle.
A friend should bear with friends infrm-
tiles but not his vices.
Have the courage to show your respect
for honesty i'll whatever guise it appears
and your contempt for dishonesty and du-
pllcity, by whomsoever exhibited
Have the courage to wear your old
clothes until you can pay for new ones.
Have the courage to obey your own con-
science, at the risk of being ridiculed by
men.
Have the courage to wear thick boots in
the winter and insist upon your wife and
daughters doing the same
Have the courage to prefer comfort and
propriety to fashion, in all things

4 Judge out West has recently deci
ded that it might be insanity to sign an
other mans name to check in place of
your own; but when you draw the money
on the check, and spend in, there is great
deal of sanity in the proceeding.
IT is mistake to suppose that time is
money. We know of one or two railroad
companies that make first rate time but no
money.
IT is pleasant thing to see roses and
lilies glowing upon young lady's cheek,
but a bad sign to see a mans face break
out in blossoms.

him from turning rascal, when it is only

We are marching home at last,
Now the cruel war is past,
And the time of peace draws near:
We are marching home at last,
Now the cruel war is past,
To the homes our hearts hold dear.
With our banners stained and torn,
That through many Il fight were borne,
Where death rained thick and fast,
Now our glorious work is done,
Now the Union cause is won,
We are marching home at last.
Marching home to those we love,
See the veteran columns move,
Hear the drums and shrill flies play,
Hear our voices raised in song
As we proudly march along
On our homeward way!
With our trusty arms We come,
To the sound Of fife and drum,
Now the cruel war is past
Light of heart and glad are we,
Having served the cause, to be
Marching home at last.
Al day long we march till night,
Then beside the camp-tre's light,
Underneath the starry dome,
Ii IS sweet to close our eyes,
While the night-wind softly sighs,
On our march toward home
And i'll sleep to dream we hear
Friendly voices sounding near,
Bidding welcome as We come,
TIL ut length the morning breaks,
And the happy dreamer wakes,

Then once more upon the way,
March we on ut dawn of day,
Now the cruel war is past
Light at heart and glad are We

Marching home at last.

The EFFECT OF VIRTUE.-lt is a peculiar
effect Of virtue to make mans chief hap
piness arise from himself and his own con.
duct A bad man is wholly the creature of
the world. He hangs upon favor, lives by
its smiles, and is happy or miserable, III
proportion to his success. But as to a vir-
tuous man, success in worldly undertakings
is but a secondary object. To discharge
his own part with integrity and honor is
his chief aim. If he has done properly
what was incumbent on him to do, his mind
is at rest to Providence he leaves the
event. His witness is in heaven, and his
record is on high, satisfied with the appro-
baton of God, and the testimony of a good
conscious, he enjoys himself, and despises
the triumphs of guilt. In proportion as
such manly principles rule your heart, you
will become independent of the world, and
will forbear complaining of its discourage
ments. 1t is the imperfection of your vir-
tue which occasions you to be weary in
well doing. 1t is because your heart re-
mains divided between God and the world,
that you are 50 often Observation-Disclosures
seeking your happiness from something
that is repugnant to your duty. Study to
be more consistent in principle, and more
uniform in practice, and your peace will be
more unbroken.

THE CHANCES OF LIFE.-There are many
griefs in this world, but many good and
pleasant things also. We might be happy
if we would; but we are too selfish; as if
the world was made for us alone. How
much happier should we be, were we to la
Dor more earnestly to promote each others
happiness. God has blest us with house
which is not dark There is sunshine ev-
erywhere--in the sky, upon the earth
there would be in most hearts if we would
look aroud us. The storms die away, and
the bright sun shines out. Summer drops
her tinted curtain upon the EARTH which is
very beautiful, even when autumn breathes
her changing breath upon it. God reigns
in Heaven. Murmur not at creation so
beautiful, who can live happier than we

THE Man oE INTEGRITY We love to gaze
upon some beautiful planet i'll the heavens,
and watch its course every night as in ma
jcsty it travels on among the stars. We
are filled with admiration and like our
selves thousands are gazing on the same
planet, filled with inexpressable emotions
Like planet in dark sky is a man Of
unbcnding integrity. We look upon him
with the same feeling of love and admira-
ton, as we watch his daily course among
his fellow men. In troubled times his light
goes not out, though it may burn feebly
He still exerts the same glorious influence,
and hundreds gaze upon him with delight
No seats Of honor dazzle him. no wealth Sc
duces him. He pushes straight onward in
the path Of duty. The fear of God is con.
tinually before him, and he feels the impor-
tance Of every moments work to lead man
kind to the fountain of truth and purity.
Behold the man thus filled with true love to
God and his fellow creatures Every act
tells nobly for the cause, justice and hu-
manity. Every deed is a living epistle to
the truth.
Would you share in his glory? Labor
in the same field Would you lessen the
tolls Of hum anity and assist immorta.. be-
