BABIES AND WATER-Wh hat q pity the ba-
bies had not some more in:eiligable mode Of
expressing their desires, or that doctors, nur-
ses, and mothers, were not wiser. How often
we hear one of these sweet little darling ba-
bies that always look 'Just precisely like the
daddy," crying at the tip-top Of its voice for
water, simply bccarse it is thirsty. Many
mothers never think of giving their child a
drink Of water, but, to stop its cries, force it
to the breast, at which it eargerly grasps,
thinking to satiate its burning thirst But,
alas how sad the disappointment, for, after
its little stomach has been filled to the very
brim with its natural food, it cries and cries
on harder than ever. We have more than
once been sent for by tile parent, on the
Supposition that the child was suffering for
medical aid, when by giving it a few teaspoon
fuls Of good pure sparkling cold water, 1t was
relieved of all its troubles. We often tell
mothers and nurses to give the child water
= But many think that Will not do, and, in
stead Of allowing the child to aliay its thirst,
attempt to arrest the cries by giving pap,
cQtuip tea, G0dtrcy& C0rd1HL BatemNn'S
Drops, etc., etc., thus creating Z morbid ap-
petite for rum and other po>cns, resulting in
deleterious effects on the health and morals Of
the child Mothers, Will you think Of this,
and remember that although a child may
drink milk, or nurse at the breast, It may oite:A
suffer as much from the want Of water as
adults who take more solid food! Imagine
how terrible situation, to be deprived Of wa
ter these hot days to al!ay our burning thlrSt.
The fluids, if not repicniShed by taking wa
ter into the system, would soon DC dried up,
and orr bodies turned to dust

- The LIGHT OF A CHEERFUL FACE.-There is
no greater everyday virtue than cheertuIness
The light ola cheerful face diffuses itself, and
communicates the happy spirit that inspires
it. The sourest temper must sweeten IN the
atmosphere of continuous good humor BE
cheerful, always There is no path but will
be easier travelled, no load but will be lighter,
no shadow on heart or brain bat will lift soon
er in the presence ofa determined cheerful
ness. What is gained by peeviShness and
fretfulness-by perverse sadness and sulen-
ness? live are III, let US be cheered by the
trust that we shall soon be in health-if mis-
fortune befall US, let US be cheered by hopeful
visions Of better fortune-if death robS Us Of
the dear ones, let US be cheercd by the Thought
that they are only gone before, to the bliSsful
bowers. where We shall all meet to part no
more forever.
Cultivate cheerfulness, if only for personal
profit. You will bear your burthen better by
being cheerful 1t will be your conSoeT in
solitude, your passport and commendation in
society. You will be more sought after, more
trusted and esteemed for your steady cheer
fulness The bad, the vicious, may be bois-
teriousIy gay, and vulgarly humorous, but
seldom or never truly cheerful. Genuine
cheerfulness is an almost certain index Of a
happy mind and pure good heart.

Ella Fay.
a SoNG.-BY OLoR.

oh dearly loved her, Ella Fay,
And fondly wooed her to nentionIhe day,
when ] should name her my darling bride,
And carry her home to my cottage, IN pride,
But she turned from my loving coresses, and cried
That her love could never be mine.
Tho my heart should be broken, she wildly replied
That her love could never be mine!
Oh! bEthe is the heart of EllaFay,
As the fawn's in the green wildwood at play,
And bright is the light ofherAazel eye,
AS lonely star in clonded sky
And she sweetly smiles as she passes by,
But she smiles no more on Ule.
Tho she sweetly smiles as she passes by,
r Those smiles ale no morefor mel
Farewell to thee, bright Ella Fay!
Bright flowers everpore bloom on thy way,
May hope ever find its home in thy breast,
And thy goomiest hours be e-er more blcst,
Than the brightest ofn.ine, with sorrow oppressed,
Since thy love can never be mime.
With my brightest honrs forever oppressed,
With the love that can never be mine!

A young man wanted to marry a girl out
in Wisconsin, but her rich parents forbade
the match. The young man became sick
very sick-and had terrible fainting fits. The
doctors were called and said he would soon
die, and he said he wanted to. The father of
the girl visited the patient, and agreed with
both him and the doctors, The poor fellow
said if he could see his Mary Ann he would
die happily. His dying request certainly
conld not be refused, and Ann having no OBJ
iections, the minister was sent for, and the
solemn.ordinance ofmarriage was performed
before the most solemn messenger Of death
should step in to snatch away the gssping
bridegroom, from time to the region of eterni-
tv. The knot being securely tied the patient
rose from the bed we'll man, 1t was great
cure, astonishing both the cruel 'parlent,
and the doctors, but the bride acted as though
she expected it all the time

A. GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR PAINT-For the
benefit of our readers, both in townand coun-
try, we publish the following recipe for ma
king wash for buildings, which is said to look
almost as wellas paint. We quote from the
Chemical Gazette;
s'Take clean water-tight barrel, or other
suitable caSk, and put into it a half bushel Of
lime. Slack it by pouring water oVerit boil
ing hot, and in such quantity to cover it five
inches deep, and stir it briskly tin thoroughly
Stacked. When Stacking has been effected
dissolve in water and add two pounds of sui
phate inc and one Of common salt These
will cau.e the wash to harden, and prevent it
cracking. which gives an unseemly appearance
co the work If desirable, a beautiful clean
color NAV be communicated to the above wash
by adding three pounds Of yellow ochre, or a
good pearl or lead color by rae addition Of
lamp, vine or ivory black. For fawn color,
add four pounds of ofumber-Torkish or Amer
ican, the latter is the cheaper-one pound OF
Indian red and one pound of common lamp
black. This wash may be applied with
common whitewash brush, and will be found
much superior, both in appearance and dura-
bility to common whitewaSh.

ScoURs IN CALvEs.-MR. EDlTToE If
equally eficacious, is not the most simple
remedy the best?In the last Ploughm"n,
notice the recommendation of"acorn meal" as
q remedy for scours in calves. There is an
other remedy, safe, sure, and it would be a
strange farmer who did not have it at hand.
That is a fresh, raw egg. do not know as
one egg would effect cure, but repeat the
dose and give another egg after an interval,
and repeat the dose, and it will surely cure.
1t is eq ually good for cattle and man in case
of fdiarrhaa-chronic or otherwise But some
caution is necessary to human beings in haste
to be we'll. Two eggs in twenty-four hours
are quite as much as sick man ought to take.
More may induce fever, or even insanity. l
knew of one case when the patient, in haste
for strength, took from four to six day, and
the result was temporary insanity. To make
them palatable, beat with sugar, aad add nat.
meg or any other spice and milk. Calves will
take them la nature, by holding up their
head and holding down the tongue and break
ing the egg into the mouth. That is, they
wont take it if they can help it. raw egg or
two day when fattcning calves is a PRIME

A LESSON TO A SCoLD1NG MoTnER.-A little
girl who had witnessed the perplexity Of her
mother, on certain occasion, when her forti-
tude gave way under severe trial, said:
''Mother, does God ever fret or scold %
The query was so abrupt and startling, it
arrested the mothers attention almost with a
suvck,
-"NFhy, Lizzie, what makes you ask that
question:" ,
-"Why, God is good-you know you. used
to call him the Good Man, when Twas little
and I should like to know if he ever scolded. "
mo, child jno."
"Well, In glad he DON'T for scolding al
ways makes me feel so bad, even if it is not
ME in fault i don't think that could love
God much if lie scolded."
The mother felt rebuked before her simple
child Never had she heard so forcible a lee
ture on the evils Of scolding. The words OF
Lizzie sank deep in her heart, and she turned
away from the innocent face Of her little one
TO hide the tears that gathered in her eyes.

Gus on the District Of Columbis SUI
frage bll, no difference Of opinion De-
tween The President and Congress on
the question of negro suffrage
President Johnson is, emphaticaliy,
1,a;apa's President 1t was the voice
of her Union men that placed his name
:. The Presidential ticket in 1864. Now
wbsrein has the President taken issue
with solitary position assumed by his
marty in that canvass. When has he re-
pudia,ed any of the principles OF the
party, or proved unfaithful to its de-
mands. Universal negro suffrage is no
of the great Union party
which crushed the rebellion and saved
the country. It has not been embodied
in q single platform of all adopted by
Union State Conventions. 1t has been
voted down by every Republican Safe in
which it has been advocated as seps-
rate issue. Why then, we repeat, To- this
question to be thrust upon the onion
men Of Indiana at the coming Conyen-
toni
We trust that wiser views will guide
the Union men Of Delaware and other
counties in the interior of the State.
They have. no right to crush out that
portion Of their party which has hitherto
borne the brunt Of the conflict. They
have no right to compromise the Union
men in this part of the State BY insist
ing upon the passage of resolutions that
are impracticable in every respect ex-
cept to secure the defeat OF the
party at the ensuing election. We do
hope and we believe our expectations
will be realized-that wise councils will
preyail, that good ticket will be nomi-
natsd, and that the cause of right, JUS
ace, and patriotism, will once more
triumph gloriously.
