long time in his profession, and witnessed
the influence OF a newspaper upon the
minds of family of children, writes as

sexes and all ages, who have had access to

those who have not, are: Hes

The Growth of Courage on the Bat
tie Field -.I

- A reasoning man, with love Of adven-
ture, at first feels alarmed and his impulse
is to run away; and if he has no motive to
stand. he probably does run But at each
additional exposure he grows less timid. and
after hearing canister and grape about his
ears dozen times, begins 10 think he is
not destined TO be hurt. He still feels rath-
erruneasy, perhaps but the danger acquires
a sort of fascination and though he does
not wish to be hit, he likes to have narrow
escapes, and so voluntarily places himself
in a position where he can incur more risk
ai After little while be begins to reason
the matter reflects omit he doctrine Of prob
abilities, and how much powder or lead is
necessarily wasted before any man is killed
or wounded Why should he be, he thinks
so much more unlucky than many other peo-
pie So reasoning, he soon can bear the
whiZzing of bullets with tolerable degree
equanimity though heinvoluntarily dodg
es, or tries 10 dodge, the cannon balls and
shells that go bowling about his immediate
neighborhood. 20
~ In the afternoon he is quite different
creature from what he was in the morning,
and unwittingly smiles to see Il man betray
the same trepidation which he himself ex-
hibited few hours before. The more he
is exposed to fire, the better ne can bear
it land the tinid being of to-day becomes
the hero ofto-morrow. dhe who runs from
danger on his first battle, field. may run into
it ont the next. and court the hazard once
so dreaded Thus. courage, as it is styled,
is little more, with most men, than custom !;
and they soon learn to despise what ia often
threatened without causing them harm.

Rogues Outwitted.

A correspondent relates the following,
which seems almost too good to be true
Ben. Davis, as his neighbors call him, had
a very fine melon patch. One afternoon
while in the village store, he overheard
some boys plotting to help themselves to
the fruit without being invited. Ben said
nothing, but on his way home set his
to work to head them off. As he was pass
ing, large black snake crossed his path.
which Ben succeeded in capturing alive
He Immediately went TO his garden and
selecting the very finest watermelon, cut il
in two very carefully scooped ont the in
side. and by meaus oc~negs the Inside
fastened it together so nicely that one
could scarcely detect the seam lie then
plugged il. and forcing the snake IN head
6rst made an secur1 and left 1t in plain
e;ah, Tbat pl1snt of course he lay con
ceslad ne.rI by to witness the sport. Short
l.. ..rter nine o'clock. three boys came, aud
each selecting the finest melon he could
fnd, started away, with Ben following at a
safe distance They proceeded to an ont
building not far distant, struck a light, and
prepared for good time, Ben looking on
through the cracks Boy like, the largest
one was taken first, 81 guess its hollow"
said the boy ripping thr ugh one. side with
his jack knife, well soon see what's in it,
continued he, turning it over, and then
came scream of terror from all the boys
as the snake glided out among them, and
away they scrambled, leaving the other
melons untouched, and it did not make
them feel more comfortable to hear the mp
roarious laughter Of Ben as they took fight
The story spread through the village, and
they soon found they had paid dear price
for their free melons. For weeks, wherev
er the boys saw the thieves, they would SET
up hiss, and the culprits would be glad
to retreat out of sight to hide their shame.
This calls TO mind the story of a clergy
man who suspected one ofhis neighbors Of
stealing hay from his barn. One night he
provided himself with dark lantern, and
watched for his coming. He saw the sus-
pected man go to the barn, take out as
much hay as he could carry on his back
and start for home. The clergyman stole
up softly behind him, and opening his liant
ern set fire to the hay behind his back
1t flashed up instantly aud the man drop
ped it and ran away in the greatest terror,
A few days after the culprit came to the
clergyman and confessing the theft, asked
forgiveness. He said that while he was
carrying away some hay, the, fire of God
came down upon it. and he could not rest
until be was pardoned. The clergyman
freely forgave him, but did not for long
time tell him how the hay came to take

Anecdote of Gen. Grant and Bishop
r. lnuoTal Polk

= A correspondentoffhe GiIicinnaffi Com.
merciaI tells the following plausible story
Of bit OF sharp practice between General
Grant and the rebel Rev Gen Polk. While
The General was in command Of The post at
Carlo, Bishop Gen. Polk, Gen. Pillow and la
Gen. Frank Cheatham, of the C0nfe derate q
army, were at Columbus KY. Flags0f. truce g
were occasionally y sent back and forth be-
tween the two places, and the opposing :,
Generals were generally present. After
the conclusion Of business it was frequent
~ the case that wine should be br6hght
forth, and toasis drank at parting. Ononesa
occasion Gen. Polk proposed atoast which "
he said all could drink. Those present I'LL
ed their glasses. and he gaye--'..TO General
George Washington" As he paused pur
posely at the end of the name the compa-
ny commenced TO drink. when he added.
1.-The first rebel Gen. Grant had his glass
nearly finished by that time, and il was no g
use to stop, but he exclaimed-"That was
scarcely fair, General, bnt ] will be even
with sou some day, The laugh was Of
course, somewhat against him, but the COM
pany parted in good humor. Some two
weeks afterward another Gag Of truce was
sent down TO Columbus, Gen. Grant accom-
panying it, After the business was over
Ine Feoel Oeneral prouuceu Inc WiHe, as q
usual, and Gen. Grant adroitly turned the
conversation into State rights, on which
subject Southerners always loved TO dilate
their rights being the alleged object for
which they claimed to be fighting. He al
lowed them to proceeda at considerable length
without attempting to refute snything, and
they.were perhapsflattering themselves with
the idea that they were converting him from
the error of his ways. At length he arose
to go, and proposed toast at parting
Glasses were filed, and the General rose
and gave .' Equal rights to alI."s He then
made pauseSas Gen. Polk had done, and
when all were busily drinking, he added,
"white and black" The horror of the chiv-
airy at being inveigled into drinking such
heretical toast may easily be imagined,
and they were rather disposed to feel angry
until Gen. Grant remarked: Now General
Polk, think / am even with you for that
rebel toast you made me drink at our last
conference" Quick to see and appreciate
good joke, the anger of the Southerners
was turned into laugh at the expense OF
their reverned General, who gracefully ac-
knowledged himself 6anked. ss,Hf

Artificial Wants.

Bulwer says that poverty is only idea.
in nine cases out of ten. Some men
with ten thousand dollars a year, snffer
more for, want of means than, Others
with three hundred. The reason is, the
richer man has artificial wants. His in
come is ten thousand. and he suffers enough
from being dunned for unpaid debts to kill
Il sensitive man.. A man who earns dol
lar day, and does not run in debt is the
happier of the two. Very few people who
have never been rich. will not believe this,
but it is as true as Gods word. There are
thousands and thousands with princely in
comes who never know moments peace,
because they live above their means.-
there is really more happiness in the world
among the working people than among
those who are called rich ala yTsa s..a2g
