Charity Begins at Home.

Judge not another-look within;
There you will find enough of sin;
Weeds luxuriant, rank and wild,
Many thought by sin defled;
Many a frefuI peevish feeling
o. er our better nature stealing,
Many cold ungrateful look
Warm affection scarce can brook;
Many harsh unfeeling work,
Heart-piercing as a sharpened sword.
All look within, thou need not roam,
For charity begins at home.
Judge not another, for you'll find
In dark recesses of the mind,
Hidden by self-esteem from view,
Seen by others-not by you,
Follles that make you blush when seen
By the light of conscience, faithful beam,
Drag the intruders forth to light,
And judge them by that standard bright;
Danish the beam before you try
To force the smote from anOthers eye.
Ah look within, thou need'st not roam,
For charity begins at home.
Judge not another-keep in mind
The golden rule for all mankind;
Whence er you re tempted to expose
Another's folles, think of those
That lurk within; the wish repress
Your scorn of others to express
Whene'e er to ridicule inclined,
All, think how sensitive thy mind;
Perhaps that very moment, too,
Some one may be despising you.
All look within, thou need'st not roam,
For charity begins at home.
Judge not another-keep in mind
The judgment that We to others mete
Shall be returned to you complete,
Cease then all judging till you find
No trace of error in thy mind;
Then will ye never judge again
For error ye shall still retain;
Till all your pulses cease to beat,
With error yell be found replete.
All! look within, thou need st not roam,
For charity begins at home.

The Joint Committee on Federal Relations
of the Louisiana Legislature made report
which embodies sound counsel We publish
below an extract from it:
/ eve, therefore, exhort the people to organ
ize thoroughly and take an active part in all
elections, under whatever authority they may
be held. Avoid all semblance of opposition to
the free and fair suffrage of every man having
the right to vote under the authority OF Con-
gress. 5'fzss h.s
LET there be no collisions or conflicts of any
kind.
"Avoid discussions among yourselves
Bring forward as candidates, citizens in
whose wisdom, discretion and courage you can
place implicit confidence, and whose qualifiea-
tions shall conform, as far as practicable to the
requirements of Congress. Suppress, as far as
possible, the consideration of all questions which
may lead to division of opinion among you.
Look to the character of the men whom you
elect.
'Do not seek to bind them in advance by any
particular course of policy, the wisdom and pro-
priety of which must at last be determined by
the logic of events > but leave them free and
untrammeled to act as their judgments may die
tate, for the interest and honor of the State
."Let moderation and temperance guide you
in counsel and conduct. Restrain and control
the ebullitions of inconsiderate, rash and turbu-
lent men, who may precipitate collisions from
which nothing but injury to the State and peo-
pie can possible result.
''Use all fair and legitimate means within
your power SO to influence and direct the suf-
fage as to elect trustworthy men to Office, and
thereby to prevent the power of the State from
falling into unworthy hands; but, at the same
time, be sure that your choice shall be respect
ed, and that the men so chosen, shall be cloth
ed with authority which none can question.
s'In following out the course of action here
indicated you will be called on to exercise a
spirit of extreme tolerance and forbearance; but
we believe it to be the only course consistent
with our present condition and the safety of the
State, and you will not hesitate at any sacrifice
necessary to that end.
I'm conclusion, we would say that we place
an abiding confidence in the people, and believe
that by the exercise of wisdom, prudence and
patriotism, they will so conduct the State thro
the ordeal as to command the respect offriends
and foes. . 70

Newspapers.

In lecture upon newspapers, delivered in
Philadelphia, by Rev. De Witt Talmange, he
said:
81 now declare that consider the newspaper
to be the grand agency by which the Gospel is
preached, ignorance cast out, oppression de-
throned, crime extirpated, the world raised
Heaven rejoiced, and God glorifed. In the
clanking of the printing press, as sheets fly out
I hear the voice of the Lord Almighty pro
claiming to all the dead nations of the earth,
Lazarus, come forth!' and to the retreating
surges of darkness, ''Let there be light"

The Poor.
yuyO the FARMERS of the VALLEY.

1.-The undersigned appeals in behalf of the
starving people of South Carolina-his native
State-to the farmers and all other persons hav-
ing corn for sale in the Valley and the adjacent
corn at the earliest practicable moment 1t is inn
pertively necessary that corn should be gotten
to these people at once in order that they may be
saved from actual starvation, as they failed al
most entirely in corr crop themselves and sup
plies from other sources are cut off by the almost
unprecedented condition of the country roads and
the interruption of Railroad communication by
the washing away of bridges, &c.
This appeal is not for contributions: propose
to pay the market price in cash upon the deliv-
cry of the corn, and will hope that humane
people will not horde up the necessaries of life
from their famishng countrymen. Much good
may be done by the immediate delivery of so
bushels by each farmer ifhe cannot deliver more

The object which God has set before man in
this life is, that through it he may pass to a
blessed eternity; and the mercy of the Almighty
has ordained, and so constituted the world, that
whatever really contributes to lead mankind to
heaven, shall at the same time make their state,
while they continue on earth, more happy.

If sheep are kept in the same lot with COWS
or fat kettle, no dog will disturb them. As
soon as the dogs approach the sheep they run
to the cattle who drive off the dogs. A farmer
for thirty years, in Shelby county, by adopting
this plan, never lost a sheep by dogs although
in the same neighborhood hedogs killed sheep
on the farms north and south Of him.

CURE OF CoLIC IN HoRsEs.-The following
is certain cure for collie in horses. We have
seen it tried dozens of times, and always with
success. We are sure it will save any horse, if
our directions are followed Dissolve one pint
of salt in pint of hot water, then add quart
of good vinegar, and pour half the mixture
down the horses throat. If the horse is not
well in half an hour, give him the remainder,
and you will soon find him all right.

beam ends. She will never right again! Death

"Not at all, sir not at all, sir! exclaimed

Because, sir, at this moment they are pray
ing, under the Bethel flag, in the city of Glas-

the number; and God will hear their prayers;
now see if He don't.

and righted her. A few days after the noble
ship rode safely into New York harbor.
