WORDS beware of impure words. Filthy
conversation is a fruitful means of corrtpting.
Ii is Il channel by which the impurities Of the
heart may be communicated 10 another. And
we know who hath said, Evil communica-
tons corrupt good manners Words are an
index to the state of the heart. Hence says
Christ .sBv thy words shalt thou be con-
demned and for every idle word thar men
shall speak they shall give an account in the
day of Judgment" There are those whose
conversation is filthy and disgusting. Parents
should guard their children from such. They
should themselves avoid every indclicat"
expression, and check the first appearance OF
any such thing in their children. Avoid fool
ish talking and testing. Children, let your
words be pure.

to receive the seeds OF the hospahoinah' l
ro,o copvorsed with farmers from different
parts of the country i'll regard to Their pros
nects under the present unsettled condition OF
labor. Some give lattering accounts. Ihey
say labor is abundant, and the negroes orderly
and willing to work Others represent them
as unsteady and unreliable they make en-
gagements, work very we'll for a few days, and
then take themselves of without giving any
notice to their employers. Why should this
difference exist? / cannot help fearing that
in large proportionsof cases OF this latter
class the fault is as much with the farmer as
the freedman. A sufficient amount of wages
is necessary 10 enable the laborer to
support his family, if he has one-and lew
negroes are without-or 10 act as sllmu-
lus in the performance OF his duty. -
Better by far TO give Il willing hand double
wages than 10 employ reluctant one at nall
price II is very certain that the confidence
Of these people can only be secured by tar
treatment-not always then, indeed but in
their present state of morals an inadequate
support is putting temptation in their way,
which few of them will be slow to take adj
vantage of. In vast majority Of cases, farm
ers would better consult their own interest
and comfort by giving liberal wages, and
allowing such privileges rs will not incommode
themselves, while they will be appreciated by
the recipients. 1t is the best policy IN the end
They thus attach their men 10 the soil, and
curb their propensity to wander. The law OF
kindness has its rewards more peaceful and
more enduring than can be found in any other
source.

to-day, no one seeming TO have disposition 10

their design, by such legislation as is now

the Radical element of his party.
Strong efforts are being made by certain
members of the controlling party IN Congress
