WOODEN SwEARIsG.-I know little boy
who, when he is put OUT slams the door,
stamps hard with his feet, jerks his chair,
throws down his play things, and If he is told
to pile up wood, makes great racket in the
wood house. His cross and angry feelings
are often very apt to show themselves in this
noisy way.
know little girl who does so, too, to
the great sorrow of her dear mamma. The
other day | found out what to call such con-
duet. 1. is very hard name, but true one.
It is called wooden swearing for it is the
same kind of feeling which makes wicked men
ana boys curse and swear. OF course chill
dren who are brought up to know better do
not dare use awful words and take Gods
name in v ain but they make doors and chairs
and books give vent to their angry feelings
in very noisy aud Troublesome manner,
grieving their parents very much knd grieving
aad displeasins God, who look9. a. she heast
and knows what is there, whether it is spok-
en- in words or not.
Think of this, children, and while l know
you would not {or the world be guilty Of TAX
ing Gods name in vain upon your lips, be
equally careful NOT to do any wooden swear

tied, and in few hours il will have absorbed
from the room nearly all of the respired and
perspired gases Of the room, the air Of which

utterly dlti y. This depends on the fact that
water has the faculty of condeusing, 4. and
thereby absorbs all the gsaes. which it does
without increasing its own bulk. The colder
the water is, the greater is it's capacity to
contain a pint Of carbonic acid gas, and sever-
al pints of ammonia. The capacity is nearly
doubled by reducing the temperature to that
Of ice. Hence water kept in room awhile,
is always unfit for use, and should be always
renewed, whether it become warm or not.
And for the same reason, the water in a
pump-stock should all be pumped out in the
morning, before used. That which has stood
in the pitcher over night is not fit for coffee
water the next morning. Impure water is
more injurious to the health than impure air,
and every person should provide the means
Of obtaining fresh pure water for domestic
use.

POSITION.

POSITION.
wish TO talk with you boys, about cer-
tain clownish way Of walking. Hands in the
broeches booklet; head and shoulders stoop-
ing, you go swinging from side to side, in a
very ugly way As you srow older, this
shape and awkward movement becomes fixed,
and then to your death you can never show a
noble and manly front. Every body says,
" Poor fellow, belonged to poor family, or
had 10 work 40 hard STOPPING labor, and
must wear the mark az long as he lives.
Do you know, my lttle friend, that when you
get to be man, your personal bearing, or
the manner in which you carry your body,
will be your introduction to the world
That II now while you are boy you will allow
yourself to walk in that shilly-shally, loafer-
ish way, when YOU are older, the shilly-shal-
ly loaier will stick OUT wherever you may
90; That every body will know at a glance,
that you are not whole man, but only poor
fraction Of one
Now, must tell you another thing. God
designed men 10 be upright, perpendicular
all She organs OF his body are made with ref
ereuce to that shape, and when the head and
shoulders fall forward, that little apparatus ia
tue throat with which we make voice, loses
its proper position, and the result is the voice
becomes lees round, clear and strong. The
lungs, which are made for the perpendicular
body, lose their position too, and become
weakly. The stomach, liver, andin one word
all the organs within the being in the nature
which God gave them, oontFived for perpen-
dicuar body, when the shoulders drop, per-
form their work to a disadvantage, almost
like dislooated bone, although not in the
same degree. Those who keep their bodies
erect rarely suffer any weakness or disease.
There can be no doubt that tho proper posit-
iton OF the body is the most important con-
dition Of vigorous health. When you lie
down at night yon must not put two or three
pillows under your head and watch yor toes
all night. When you sit you must not slide
forward in your chair and bend your spine
When you stand, your ear, shoulder and hip,
must be in the came perpendicular line.
If, now, while you are young, you carefully
remember aud observe whai am telling you,
during all your future life you will every day
be thankful that have given you this lesson.

The BURLNGroN TINES denies having said
that Mr.. Roberts is good Poland and Edmunds
man. in connection with the announcement of
his removal, and charges that the phrase is ." the
deliberate work Of the veracious Mr.. Walton.n-
We are glad the Times is sensible enough to wish
to repudate so foolish a remark. If it did not
make it, our memory is at fault and the remark is
chargeable to somebody else. Certainly it was
of our work. Somebody made it, and we
have been informed that somebodies at Washing
ton were stirred up to 60 to the Treasury Depart
ment and intimate that the removal Of Mr.. Rob
erts was an act done at the nstigation Of one set
OF gentlemen interested in the Senatorial ques-
tons, and against another set interested in the
same questions Hence the statement we were
authorised to make
The Removal or TREASURY AGENT RoBERTs.
Mr.. Walton mistakenly attributes the remark that
Mr.. Roberts is - a decided Poland and Edmunds
man. to the Times. 1t was the Sentinel which
made that remark, and which is still calling for
light on the subject of the removal We have had
from Washington information similar to that given
by Mr.. Walton and have only to say in regard
TO IT,, that though the Treasury Department may
not consider that there is any need for Mr.. Rob
erts services we are satisfied that it is greatly for
the advantage of the public Treasury to have some
such capable and honest agent to look after the
conduct of the public service, in some OF the From
tier districts.-free Press.

The Political situation.

Washington. May 1.-The g,ea,
veto yesterday in favor Of tn. repor,
Of the Reconstruction Committee re-.
ceived the support Of every Republi.
can who has been ciassed among
Johnson's friends, and has brought
the union part together like 4 band
Of brothers. They ar. once moro q
solid wall in favor Of the principles
which triumph over treason. Al
ready the Copperhead batteries have
been opened upon Mr.. Raymond, Of
the New York Times, for yielding to
the truth and to the appeals Of his
friends.
This spectacle shows not only the
intolerance Of the sympathizers with
treason. but the danger Of even . te.. =
porary association with such conta-
gious influences. Would that An
drew johnson had long ago been
similarly admonished! He can now
see, from the manner in which the
men who have been sustaining him
have been controlled by the logic of
the case and by the earnest invocas
tons of their constituents. the extent
of tho calamity liz has inflicted upon
his country, and the injury done to
himself.
The effect Of the action Of tie
House has been most salu.ary in the
Senate. leayned this morning that
Senator Lane. of Kansas, indicated
to a senator his purpose to sustain
the report Of the committee. The
third section. in regard to which a
good deal of doubt was at 6rst enter
taiued. proves to be the strongest
part of the new article. Nothing.
however, strengthened it more than
the manner ill which it has been at
tack d by the reconstructed reb-
els. Every patriot must See that any
plan that brings such men, or the
of such men, into the
National councils, is defeated f.om
the start. The programme Of the
committee must not be sacrificed by
its enemies. If the rebels are im-
lnedia,ely admitted. they will sim
ply embarass Legislation. poison the
minds of the people, and put of in
terrninab!y the whole subject Of re-
construction. Fortunately for the
country and themselves, they See tn.
necessity Of precisely such guar
an;ee by the daily proofs Of their
undying treason and savage cruelty.
