his boys, to cultivate in somo crop, the proh's
Of which should belong TO them. BY this
means they acquire habits Of Industry, and
accumulate little fund which they call their

would likely be allowed TO lie idle, and pro-

courage your boys give them chance 20 earn
something for themselves. Make them rirtu-
ally proprietors Of their little furms. Teach
them how to raise a crop and how to dispose
of it afterwards. You will thus fit them for
the duties ef manhood, and in the future, they
will often recur with pleasure 10 the time

Morality and the War.

The moral character Of our soldiers, is sup.
posed by many to DO sadly affected by the
war. This may, to some extent, be true. The
temptations thrown in the way Of the private
soldier, arc very great, but not more 80 than
arc to be found in time Of peace on the streets
of our cities and large towns. An eminent
army officer writing on this Subject, says ::
This war has sufficiently revealed one cheer.
ing fact, which goes far toward relieving ina.
ny Of its dirk shadows. The man who goes
out with his character mntarcd, returns with
it uusullicd. The young man, whosc charac-
ter is scarcely known to himself goes 10 the
war, shares i,srealitics, mingles in its hor-
ror,, is tempted by its liccntiousne.s, and ben.
Gifted by its discipline; lie has seen more Of
life in one year, iu tho war, than lie could
have learned Of it in ten at home rapidly &C.
cumulates q maturity which would require
years for development at homo and it is the
rxpcricnceof the whole country that, if spared

soldiers who have returned to minglc in soci.

cation for new trial in the Causes for which
judgments were rendered mt the previous

may be set aside. Wm. II. Thomlnson, ESQ ;,
opened the case, md based his application on

on it to some length. he closed. ..-

to this section. -..
Judge Nash, Of Gallipolis, then said TINT
the Legislature Of West Virginia had no right
