GRowING OLD.-How steadily the
years creep upon us one by one, until
some day We are startled to find ourselves
grown old Ii is curious 10 see what diff
ferent estimates people put upon old age
at different perioas of their own lives. To
the youth in his teens the man of middle
years appears quite antiquated, but when
he himself arrives at forty years he can
scarce believe he is no longer young, and
is astonished to see SO many who were but
infants the other day now jostling him as
full grown men in the race of life. Said
one gentleman to another once in our
hearing, I" What has become of all the old
men ! When you and / were boys there
were many old gentlemen about, but they
seem 10 be all gone" All, said hs
friend, with smile, " ask th- Sc Youngsters
where the old men are. They'll tell you
and you viii find yourself among them"

ABOUT ORpER.-Put things right
back in their places when done with.
Never leave them all about helter skelter.
.cpsy-turvy, never. When you use any
article, hoe, shovel, rake, pitchfork, axe,
hammer longs, boots or shoes, books, states,
pencils, writing appartus, pins, thimbles,
needles, work-baskets, kitchen furniture,
all articles of house-wifery, or busbandry,
no matter what it is, the very moment you
have done using it, retorn it to its proper
place. Be sure to have special place for
everything, and everything in its place.
Order, perfect order, is the watchword.
Heavens first law. How much precious
time is saved (aside from vexation) by
observing order, systematic regularity
And little folks should begin early to pre-
serve order in everything. Form habits
of order. These loose, slipshod, slatternly
habits are formed in childhood, and habits
thus formed are apt to cling for life.
Young friends, begin early to keep
things in their proper places; study neat
ness, order, economy, sobriety; in every.
thing be just, honest pure, lovely, and you
will have good report.

The CARE OF FURs AND WooLENs.-
We are pretty well satisfied from long ex-
perience that there is no efficacy in cam
phor, tobacco, drugs, or even cedar closets
and chests, in protecting furs and woolen
stuffs against the moth. They only lull us
into fancied security, to be woke up to
find our most valuable furs and cloth ruined
by this mischievous little insect.
To preserve these articles with entire
safety, shake them thoroughly, in order
that any moth already in them may be
dislodged; then place them in close cotton
or linen bags, and tie them as tightly as
possible to exclude the miller, and there
will be no danger of damage from moth.
There need be no special place TO hang
the bag in. Wardrobe, closet, garret, or
whatever you please, is all the same. Old
newspapers, entirely without fractures, will
answer just as well in which to wrap up
furs and woolens, but they must be so pas
ted together as TO leave no place for the
entrance Of the millers-
Will housekeepers please heed this, and
abandon all their other methods Of pro.
lection against the moths.-An old House.

THE CRUELTY OF WIRz.-The efforts
of Mr.. Louis Schade, Wirz's counsel, to
whitewash the memory of the Anderson
vile jailor, has brought out some testimo-
ny from an eye witness of his crurlties.
L. j. Perry, of the Waupacca (wis) Cri-
ter,on, who served as a non-commissioned
officer in the Second Wisconsin, in the
army Of the Potomac, was taken prisoner
and confined at Andersonville, writes in
his paper as follows:
In the war we had the misfortune to be
captured by the rebels, and served as
prison, twenty months. during the great
er part of which time we were in the
hands of the demon whom they (the
Democratic papers) led by Schade. are
making a martyr of. During that horri-
blank in our life, we saw him knock down
and stamp upon sick Union prisoners, who
were too weak to get out of his way {; we
saw and heard him order rebel guard to
fire at a group of Union prisoners, which
order was obeyed, by which means Un-
ion soldier was manned for life by the loss
of leg; we saw him once manacle two
men together and then whip one Of them
with riding whip, until the man could
not stand we saw four men shot dead
coolly and deliberately, by rebel guards
under his orders, who were murdered
without cause; we saw during the twenty
months, not less than fifty dead bodies of
brother Union soldiers SO murdered; we
have heard Wirz, at Richmond, order and
even urge his guard to kill every prisoner
they could, plausibly; we heard him say
more than hundred times that every
d|d Yankee prisoner in the South
ought to be hung: We know that his
watchwords were kill. slay, destroy; and
last, but not least, while those thirty thou
sand wretched beings were literally starv-
ing in Andersonville during the months of
July and August,ls64, his expressions of
demoniac delight were often heard. We
heard him say at that time if the North
could be whipped by starving prisoners,
be could put quieins to Thirty thousand
in short meter.
All this, and numberless other acts,
which convinced us all that he was cru
el, relentless, blood-thirsty man. and that
human suffering and privasion was what
be lived upon-

Locomotives and Men Compared.

Henry Ward Beecher tells what he
likes =" like to go past an engine-house
and see the fremen, even if they are rude
and IL they do sometimes forget their man
ners and shout out my name when pass
by them, as they did yesterday-I like to
go past an engine house and see these rude
sons Of industry fondle and pet their en-
gine. Sometimes think 1t is their Ii tile
God. How they rub it! How they clean
it How they oil it! How they put
flowers upon it! Why? They know what
it can do. They are proud of IL! They
have seen il play. They have seen how
well it performs in the hour Of danger.
1t has stuff in it. Ii is brave engine.
They personify it, and give attributes to it.
They love it. They talk to ii. And they
rub the brass and clean the leather, and
keep everything all right about it. And
l like to see it; because it is the radical
quality that they like. 1t is the ability to
perform. 1t is its real executive power.
For that's sake it is tha. they work it up.
and shine it up, and like il and pet il, and
idolize it. like to hear an engineer talk

under the wheels myself when something
had given way and they were repairing
the damage, and seen, with admiration how

where nobody looked at it; how all the
axels and boxes and parts were cleansed

RULES FOR READING.-Read much,
but not many works. For what purpose,
with what intent do we read? We read
not for the sake of reading. but we read to
the end that we may think. Reading is
valuable as it may supply TO US the mate
rials which the mind itself elaborates. As
it is not the largest quantity of any kind
of food taken into the stomach that condu-
ces TO health, but such a quantity of such
kind as determines the intellect to mos,
vigorous energy. The only profitable
kind of reading is that in which we are
compelled TO think intensely; whereas
that reading which serves only TO dissipate
our thoughts is either positively hurtful,
or useful only as an occasional relaxation
from severe exertion. But the amount Of
vigorous thinking is usually in the inverse
ratio of muItifarious reading. Multifari-
Gus reading is agreeable but as a habit
il is, in its way, as destructive TO the
mental, as dram-drinking is to the bodily
health. Our age says Herder, q is the
reading age;" and he adds. +" il would
have been better, in my opinion. for the
world and Cor science, if instead of the
multitude of books which now overlay US
if we possessed but few works, good,
and sterling and which few would, there
fore, be more diligently and profoundly
studied

A Strange Scene.

Accounts reach us Of the great mas
meeting OF the negroes at Charleston, S
c., which are very interesting. A writer
says: The attendance at meeting ha'
been estimated by impartial judges at be-
tween five and six thousand, including
men and children. The crowd was very
orderly, though their excitement was
wrought up the highest pitch, principally
however. by the appearance on the plat
and address of Solon Robinson, Of the
New York Tribune. His long grey beard,
in addition to his sepulchral voice, and
hands and eyes upraised to heaven as he
stepped forth to address the assemblage,
seemed to set'forih like an electric shock
on the multitude. He said

me or kick me SO as TO wake me up /? Am
