what a Toad dad for a Soldier

A friend connected with the United States
Sanitary Commission, relates for the Amer
lean Agriculturist, the following:
A number of wounded from the battle of
Petersburg were lying in a hospital tent, a
mong whom was negro whose leg had been
taken off. He was on mattress on the
ground, and, the weather being hot, the
dressed stump of his leg was exposed, and a
swarm of flies was sitting upon it. Present
ly large toad hopped into the tent, and,
taking his station near the edge Of the bed
began to gobblc up the blue bottles in dou-
bic quick. The moment one alighted with
in six inches of the spot he would square
himself for the attack his eye twinkling
with excitement, and then, with flash Of
his tongue and a smack of his mouth, the
unlucky insect would disappear.
The boy was asleep when this commenc-
ed but soon awoke, and was at first fright
ened at the ugly toad SO near him; but our
friend bade him be quiet, and pointed out
the service the creature was rendering him,
when the negro and all present voted him a
member of the Commission, with many
thanks, and his kindred were Mt once in high
favor.

Work.

The best lesson father can give his son is
this: Work strengthen your moral and
mental faculties, as you would strengthen
your muscles, by vigorous exercise. Learn
to conquer circumstances; you are then in
dependent OF fortune, The men Of athletic
minds, who left their marks on the years
which they lived, were all trained in a rough
school. They did not mount, their high po-
sition by the help cf leveage; they leaped
into chasms, grappled with the opposing
rocks avoided avalanches, and, when the
goal was reached, left that but for the toll
that had strengthened them as they strove,
it would never have been attained" j" u
