Mothers, don't whip them Treat
Gods lambs tenderly.s Compel obedi-
ence, but not With the rod. The other
evening, whilst taking my customary
stroll, mGditating on my text for the
following Sunday, the face maternal
appeared at the door of a pleasant little
home 1 had often noticed, and loudly
ordered a little lad OF three or so to
"come in, and see if she did not do as
she said she would" The mother, in
her wrath at being disObeyed, re-eutered
the house, not hearing the little ones
sObbing explanation that he had step
ned outside to fetch the baby in. Di-
rectly the blows and piteous cries fell
upon my ears. Undoubtedly the little
one had gone beyond the prescribed
bounds: but it was to bring the
wee toddling thing inside, who as yet
needed not commands, however
harshly given, and his full heart and
meagre use of words withheld the
power of oTexplanation. Poor little man,
how nv heart ached for hiinI Kissless
and sad he went to his bed. Mothers,
do not whip theml Do not yourselves
make shadows in the sunlight with
which God always surrounds children.
Do not let them be lulled to sleep by
the falling OF their tears, or by their
own sad sobs and sighs. Far pleasant
er it is, when you go to tuck them in at
night, to lind pink feet on the pillow,
dumpled knees in air, toys yet in ems
brace, and smiles on their sweet
mouths. Yourselves bear in mind their
last words, "If l should die before
wake.'' Treat them tenderly. took
my little man u shot-gun tonight, and,
handing il over the gate, said, NOW

"me will" was very sincere; but ifthey

days cannot be free from sorrow, surely
none ever may.-IndependeH

The precauuon to be taken against
boiler explosions gave rise to an acri-
monious debate at the recent conven-
tion of steamboat captains held in Gin
cinnuti. AS to the construction Of
boilers, the meeting resolved that high
pressure boilers should be not more
than forty inches in diameter, and be
made of wrought iron or steel plates
three 81 xteenths of an inch thick.
Locked up safety-valves were disap-
proved OF, and the use of low pressure
engines not considered expedient. The
principal point, however, was the con-
sideratiou of the use of fan blowers to
produce artificial draft, and on this
subject the greater discrepancy of oPin-
ion was exhibited. II was stated and
with great probability, that explosions
would be diminished one-half If the
blowers were rediscontinued. Steamboat
men at present put on their boats
boilers of two.thirds of the size required
10 raise sufficient steam, and make mp
for the deficiency by driving the fire so
as to create rapid evaporation. Couse-
uuently the intense hent burns out the
tlues, and serious accidents happen.
Also the pressure becotninE too great,
reacts upon the pumps, which stop
working. With too little water and too
much steam an explosion is certain TO
ensue. Notwithstanding this Teasona-
BILE statement, fan-blowers were not
disapproyed, and boats will still go
down the Ohio and Mississippi fitted
with an apparatus specially calculated
to produce explosions.

A DRESDEN correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph complains
bitterly that since the war Americans
have swarmed into Europe and taken
possession of the Briton's favorite
hunting grounds. For one English=
man, he says, there are ten Americans
in every European city. In Rome and
Florence they buy more works of art
than all other foreigners put together.
In Vienna. the very German walters
"speak German -Englishwith Yankee

present there are thirty-nine steamers

TEXAS is suffering materially from
neglecting a crop which has necessarily
from the cold climate, received great
attention In the North, where hay is
required for the winter feeding of the
stock of farm animals. In the South,
green pastures may be obtained all the
year round, and the labor devoted in
other States to cutting aud drying the
grass is ex expended upon cotton: But al
though not needed at home, hay may
be Sent to other places where
good price can be obtained. Miilions
Of dollars worth are now ready for the
moving machine, but no one pays any
attention to the wealth before his eyes.
The EMPTY wagons going TO the coast
for freight could carry cheaply the
pressed bundles to be shipped for New
Orleans. The San Antonio Express
saws, the 'hay crop OF Texas, II put
into the market, would bring more
than our cotton" General Banks, IN
1856, drew this comparison between
hay and cotton, but his REMARKS eS-
cited no attention in the South. IL
would be well if they would heed the
lesson now.

From the Cincinnati Gdseie oI yesteTkV.
Farmers are getting high prices for
their produce; and at the same time the
value of pretty much everything they
ureciated. Most kinds of dry goods
are down almost to anti.war prices,
while the products of the soil are one
to two hundred per cent, in most cases,
higher than they were in ls6O. Ihus
farmers are getting two to three prices
for wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, noss'
hav butter, eggs, &C., while the pro
duct or the loom aud the anvil is selling
far below the cost OF productions. Even
with short crops, farmers must acen-
mulate, under present circumstances
while other people are generally losing
money. This is better than the reNeLss slst5
nIaces TO have capital laid up. 1t VIII

In auultlOn TO lne articles Wnlcn form
the principal items of the ordinary
market reports, there are numerous
others which have felt the influence.
1t can easily be seen, by a contrast of
the present prices of cotton and wool
with those oil last year, that the neces.
sary consequence has been that there
has been avery sensible decline in the
prices OF dry goods, cloths and wooleHs.
II has not been as great, however, as
the difference in the prices of the raw
material would seem 10 indicate. Cot
ton goods, for instance, cannot be
bought now ut one-half the prices of
last year, because the wages OF labor
is high. The same may be said in re-
gard to woolens; but ii is q fact that the
decrease of the value in raw materials
has had very important effect upon
manufactured articles, and in that fact
may be found the reason ofIhe difficult
ties among dealers who, unfortunately,
have had large stocks on hand. Even
where the disposition is indulged to
hold on in tho hope OF realizing what
has been paid, the effects of oOmpeti-
ton by new purchases. at reduced
prices, among dealers who have means,
must operate seriously upon the inter
ests Of those who have old stocks on
hand.
In the items of food, there are cheer
ing Indications OF lower prices. A re-
duction OF 81 % in the price of barrel
of flour, is an item of the utmost i'm
portance to families who bake their
own bread, and II is possible that in
tune the bakers will acknowledge that
they have discovered the fact, and that
they will increase the size of their
loaves accordingly. From two to six
cents saving on pound OF coffee Is not
II small item, and the benefit is to be
gratefully accepted. Hams have come
down from three to five cents n pound,
and although in fresh meats the prices
are yet high, there are evidences OF
yielding, which must stimulate the fur
ther giving way of rates until we ap-
proach the experience of the good old
times for which housekeepers sigh,
when it was possible even for poor peo-
Pile to live comfortably upon slender
incomes. In the matter of coal, there
is much to congratulate ourselves
upon. The prices by wholesale have
rarely been lower, and there is not
much chance of an increase of prices for
some months. The cause Is overprO-
duction, and although the coal dealers
will make but little, the people who
have been paying inordinately for fuel
during the last six years may feltcitate
themselves upon the opportunity given
them TO keep comfortable during the
coming winter. The reform in prices
extends 10 articles the most necessary
what we eat and wear, and with which
we are enabled to bear the Iigors of
winter aud minister to the necessities
OF our households.

AUTUMN.
BX r. M. KIRBY.

Autumn's S rich veil of purple mist is resting
In royal splendor over vale and stream,
Giving strange, rich beauty to the landscape
Like the enchantment of some fairy dream.
From deep blue skies that bends serenely Ger us
A shower of softened sunlight seems to fall;
That like His all-pervading love who gives it,
Sheds its sweet, golden lustre over all.
Bright streams grow brighter as they hasten on
ward,
Rich fruits are blushing on each dropping
bough,
And fading flowers are shining in the garland
That binds fair Autunns calm and holy brow.
Soft, fragrant breezes fill with plantive music
The forest aisles where mingled light and shade
Rest on the frost-touched leaves that grow in dy-
So beautiful only to droop and fade.
And all this brilliant overhowing beauty
Is but the prelude to sure decay;
Transient as dew-drops which at early morning
Gem with their glittering pearls each dropping
spray. 5H
Yet this fair scene should bring no thought of
sadness
For Nature speaks to those who heed her voice
In accents ever sweet and ever hopeful
Bidding each weary human heart rejoice.
OH from these leaves that grow so strangely
lovely,
While Autumn wreathes them round her tu-
neral urn.
From these dead flowers that shall regain their
sbeauty er
When Spring soft winds and sunny skies re-
turn
We, too, may learn that death is but winter
From which the soul, triumphant o er the tomb,
Shall rise, exulting in its new found freedom
And live In pure, immortal, heavenly bloom.
They are not dead, who from our earthly vision
Are hid by this dim veil that shrouds our sight;
They are but placed where their pure spirit beauty
Can never know decay, or yield to blight
Like flowers transplanted, they are growing farer
In that bright world that knows no care or
strife
This sleep that we call death is but the waking
To perfect, glorious, everlasting life.
