To Parents-Newspaners.

A child beginning to read becomes de-
lighted with newspaper, because he reads
of names and things which are Eery famili-
ar, and lie viii make a progress accord
ingly. A newspaper in one year, says Mr..
Weeks, is worth quarters schooling to a
child, and every father must consider that
substantial information is connected with
this advancement.
The mother of family, being one of its
heads, and having a more immediate charge
of children, should herself be instructed
A mind occupied becomes fortified against
the ms of life. and is Braeed for any emeF-
gency. Children amused by reading or
study are, Of course, considerate and more
easily governed.
How many thOughtless young men have
spent their earnings in a tavern or grog-
shop, who ought to have been reading!
How many parents, who never spent
twenty dollars for newspapers aDd books for
their families, would gladly have given
thousands to reclaim son or daughter,
who had ignorandy and thOughtlessly fallen
into temptation.

Riches Of the Bible.

Some writer gives the following analysis
Of the ''book of booke,'' the Bible: 1T is

wrong. 1t is book of wisdom, that makes
the foolish wise. It is the book of Truth,
which detects all human errors. 1t is a
book of life, which shows how to avoid
everlasting death. 1t contains the most
authentic and entertaining Histories ever
published. It is a perfect book Of divinity.
It is book Of Biography. It is book Of
Travels. It is a book of Voyages. It is
the best covenant ever made--the best ever
written. 1t is the young mans best com

Adviea to Yonne Men


4 lady who signs herself ga Martyr to
Late Hours" offers the following sensible
suggestions to young men:
"Dear gentlemen between the ages Of
eighteen and Forty-ive,' listen to q few
words of gratuitious remarks. When you
make social call of an evening, on a young
lady, go away st reasonable hour. Say
you come at eight O'Clock, an hour and q
half is certainly as long as the most fasoi-
mating ofyou in conversation can or ought
to desire to use his charms Two hours,
indeed, can be pleasantly spent with music,
chess. or other games. to lend variety, pro-
vided you come early; but. kind sirs. by
no means stay longer. Make shorter calls
and come oftener. A girl-that is, sensi-
BILE, true-hesrted girl-Will enjoy it better.
and really value your acquaintance more.
"Just conceive the agony of a girl who,
well knowing the feeling of father and
mother upon the subject, hears the clock
strike ten, and yet must sit on the edge Of
her chair, in mortal terror lest papa should
pat his oft repeated threats in execution
that of inviting the gentleman to breakfast.
And We girls understand it all by expert.
ence. and know what it is to dread the prog
nostic OF displeasure. In such cases 3 Ugh
of relief generally accompanies the closing
of the door behind the gallant, and one can't
get over the feeling of trouble till safe in the
arms of Morpheus. Even then sometimes
the dreams are troubled with some phantom
Of an angry father and distressed (for all
parties, mother, and all because a young
msa viii make lOunger call than he ought
to.
Now, young gentlemen friends, I'll tell
you what we girls will do. For an hour
and half we will be most irresistibly
charming and fascinating. Then beware;
monosyla responses will be all you need
expect; and if, when the limits shall have
been passed, a startling query shall be heard
coming down stairs, 'Isn't il time to close
up?' you must consider it righteous punish
ment, and taking your hat, depart, ssdder
and it is to be hoped = wiser man. You
need not get angry, bat the next time you
come. be careful to keep within just bounds.
We want to rise early these pleasant morn
ings. and improve the shining hours but
when forced to be up at such unreasonable
hours at night. exhaused nature will speak,
aud as a natural consequences, with the ut
most speed IN dressing, We can barely get
down to breakfast in time to escape a Tepri-
msnd from papa, who don't believe in besuE,
and reproving glance from mama. Now,
young men. think about these things. and
don't throw down your paper with a

Railroad Signals.

Those who travel on railroads., OF who
witness the movement of the trains, and the
men who operate the roads, may desire 10
know the signals used everywhere on the
roads. The signals are given By the whis-
tie, by lanterns. Aags and motion Of ihe
arms. Their Specification is:
One whistle-Down brakes.
Two whistles-Of brakes.
Three whistles-Back mp.
Continued whistle-DangeF.
A rapid succession of short whistles is
the cattle alarm, at which the brakes will
always be put down.
A sweeping parting Of hands on level OF
eye is the signal to go ahead.
A downward motion Of one hand, with
extended arm, to stop.
A beckoniug motion Of one hand, to back.
A lantern, raised and lowered verticslly
IS a signal for starting.
When swung at right angles, or cross
wise the track, 70 stop.
When swung in ciacle, back the train.
A red fag waved upon the track must be
regarded as a signal Of danger. So with
other signals given with energy.
Hoisted at station is signal for train
to stop.
Stuck up by the roadside is q signal Of
danger on the track ahead.
Carried unfurled upon the engine Is a
warning that another train or engine is fol-
lowing.

The Man Without an Enemy

Heaven help the man who imagines he
can dodge 'enemies" by trying to please
everybody If such an individual ever
succeeded, we should be glad to know it.
Not that we believe in mans going thro'
the world trying to find beams to knock his
head against; disputing every mans OPin-
ions; fighting and elbowing and crowding
all who differ with HIM. That again is
another extreme. Other people have
right to their opinion-so have you; don't
fall into the error of supposing they will re-
spect you less for maintaining it-or respect
you more for turning your coat every day
to match the color of theirs. Wear your
own colors, spite of wind and weather,
storms or sunshine. It costs the vacillating
and irresolute ten times the trouble to wind
and shuttle, and twist, that it does honest,
manly independence to stand it's ground.

MR. MoCoRD--I copy for the Citizen an
iniuaitable poem by the lamented DR.. E. Y
REESE. He was man of fervid feeling
and giant intellect. A resident of Balti-
more. be was devoted to the South, aud
symPathized deeply in all her wrongs
While The whole city was wild with excite
ment consequent upon the entry of the
Federal army, his wife, the idol of his heart,
"fell on sleep" This sorrow was greater
than reason, and in a fit of insanity e com
mitted suicide. Among his papers was
found this gem of modern poetry.
Assured that its publication will afford
pleasure to many of your readers, inclose
it for insertion.
Respectfully, SUE F. MOONEY.

A Great Want.

The great want of this age is MEN. Men
who are not for sale. Men who are honest
and sound from center to circumference,
true to the hearts core. Men who fear the
Lord and hate covetousness. Men who
will condemn wrong in friend or foe, in
themselves as well as in others. Men whose
cousciences are steady as the needle TO the
pole Men who will stand for the right if
the Heaven totter and the earth reels. Men
who can tell the truth and look the world
and the devil right in the eye. Men that
neither swagger nor finch. Men who can
have courage without whistling for it, and
Joy without shout to bring it. Men in
whom the current of everlasting life runs
still, and deep and strong. Men careful of
Gods honor and careless of mems applause.
Men too large in their views for sectarian
limits and too strong for sectarian bands.
Men who do not strive, nor cry, nor cause
their voices to be heard in the street, but
who will not fail, nor be discourag ed, till
Judgment be set in the earth. Men who
know their message and tell it. Men who
know their duty and it. Men who know
their place and fill it. Men who mind their
own business. Men who will not lie.

REvENGE.-T The favorite of a Sultan
threw stone at poor beggar who had
requested aims. The injured man dared
not to complain, but carefully searched for
and preserved the pebble, promised himself
he should find an opportunity, sooner or
later. 10 throw it in his turn at this imperi-
Gus and Pitiless wretch. Some time after,
he was told the favorite was disgraced, and
by order of the Sultan led through the
streets on a camel, exposed to the insults of
the populace. On hearing this, the beggar
ran to bring his pebble, but, after mo-
ment's reflection, cast it into a well. "I
now perceive" said he, ''that we ought
never to seek revenge when our enemies are
powerful, for then it is imprudent; nor
when he is involved in calamity, for then
it is mean and cruel"

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 31.-Collecto Speed
In accordance with instructions from
Washington, is requiring coal tickets
and dray tickets to be stamped. The
coal merchants have almost, without
exception, made reports of the number
of tickets taken by them for the delivery
of coal, and since the LIST of November,
and in the presence of the collector,
destroyed stamps equivalent to the
number of tickets not stamped. Since
which settlement they hold themselves
liable for all such transactions.
The steamer Dictator has arrived from
New Orleans.
The Missouri left New Orleans last
Tuesday week with light freight but
full of passengers, most whereof were
landed at Cairo. On arrivingat Evans
Vile she received about dozen passen-
gers, all whereof are reported lost. The
story of a race between the two boats is
denied. The officers of the Dictator
brought off 100 people from the wreck.
It is thought by the officers of the Mis-
souri, that the total number of casual
ties will not exceed 40, and probably be
less than go. Among the passengers
saved are passenger from Lowell.
Mass, connected with the Ffeedmens'
Bureau, and his family; Capt. Stewart,
