Ones Mother.

Around the idea of ones mother the
mind of man clings with fond Affection
It is the first dear thought stamped upon
our infant hearts, when yet soft and capa-
BILE of receiving the most profound impress
sions, and all the after feelings are more or
less light in comparison.
Our passions and our wilfulness may
lead US far from the object of our flial love;
we may become wild, headstrong and an
CRY at her councils or opposition, but when
death has stilled her monitory voice, and
nothing but calm memory remains to re-
capitulate her virtues and good deeds, af-
fection, like flower beaten to the ground
by a rude storm, raises up its head, and
smiles amidst our tears.
Round the idea of a mother, as we have
said the mind clings with fond affection;
and even when the earlier period of our loss
forces memory to be silent, fancy takes the
place of remembrance, and twines the I'M
age of our departed parent with garland
of graces, and beauties, and virtues, which
we doubt not that she possessed.

Characteristics of True Gentleman.

Characteristics of True Gentleman.
Ia an old manor house in Gloucester
shire, England, may be found the follow
ing sketch or portrait Of true gentleman,
written, framed, and hung over the mantle
piece Of a taPestried sitting-room:
The true gentleman is Gods servant,
the worlds master, and his own man; vir-
tue is his business, study his recreation,
contentment his rest, aud happiness his re-
ward; God is his father, the Church is his
mother, the saints bis brethren, all that
need him his friend; devotion his chaplain,
charity his chamberlain, sobriety his but
Ter, temperance his cook, hospitality his
housekeeper, providence his steward. chari-
ty his treasure, piety his mistress of the
house, and discretion his porter, to let him
in and out most fts Thus his whole fami-
ly is made up of virtues, and be is the true
master af the house. He is necessitated to
take the world on his way to heaven; but
he walks through it as fast as he can, and
all his business by the way is to make him
self and others happy. Take him in two
words-a man and Christian"

The nose was let in, then the neck, and

When temptation occurs, we must not yield
to it. We must not allow so much as its

EDITORIAL LIFE.-But few readers ever
think of the labor and care devolving upon
au editor. Captain Marryatt most truly
says:
81 know how periodical will wear down
ones existance. In itself it appears moth
ing; the labor is not manifest; nor is it in
labor; it is the continual attention it re-
quires. Your life becomes, as it we're, the
publication. One days paper is no sooner
corrected and printed than comes another.
1t is the stone Sisyphus and endless repe-
tition of toll and constant weight upon the
intellect and spirits, and damaging all the
exertions of your faculties; at the same time
you are compelled to the severest drudgery.
To write for paper is very well, but to
edit one is to condemn yourself to slavery. -
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1867-01-11
Woman in Aduersitv.

? Woman should be more trusted and con-
fded in as wives, mothers and sisters.
They have quick perception of right and
wrong, and, without always knowing why,
read the present and future-read characters
and acts, designs and probabilities-where
man sees no letter or sign. What else do
we mean by the adage "mother w.t." save
that woman has quicker perception and
reader invention than man?
How often, when man abandons the helm
in despair, woman seizeS it, and carries
the home-ship through the storm! Man
often flies from his home and family, to
avoid impending poverty or ruin. Woman
seldom if ever forsook home thus.
Woman never evaded mere temporal ca
lamity by suicide or desertion. The proud
banker, rather than live to see his poverty
gazetted, may blow out his brains, and leave
wife and children to want, withot protector
Loving woman would have counseled him
to accept poverty, and live to cherish his
family and retrieve his fortune. Woman
should be counseled and confided in. It is
the beauty and glory Of her nature. that it
instinctvely grasps at and clings to the
truth and right.
Reason, mans greatest faculty, takes
time to hesitate before it decides; but wo-
mans instinct never hesitates in its decision,
