DID AS THE REST DID.-This tame
yielding spirit-this doing "as the rest
dld'-has ruined thousands
A young man is invited by vicious
companions to visit the theatre, or the
gambling room or other haunts of licen-
tiousness. lie becomes dissipated, spends
his time, loses his credit, squan1ers his
property, and at last sinks into an un-
timely grave. What ruined him SIM
ply "doing what the rest did"
A father has family of sons. lie is
wealthy. Other children in the same sit
uation of life do so and so, are INDUCED
in this thing and that lie INDUCES his
own in the same way. They grow up
idlers, trillers and fops. The father won
ders why his children do not succeed bet
ter. lie has spent so much money on
their education, has given them great
advantages; but, alas they are only a
source of vexatlon and trolble. Poor
mani he is just paying the penalty of
''doing as the rest did !"
This poor mother strives hard to bring
up her daughters genteelly. 1hey learn
what Others do, to paint, to sing, to play,
to dance, and several other useful matters
In time, marry; their husbands are un-
able TO support their extravagance, and
they are soon reduced TO poverty and
wretchedness. The good woman is as
tonished. "Truiy," says she, Il did as
the rest did"

Some people place their ideas of hap
piness upon one thing, and some upon
another. A lady made call upon a
friend who had lately been married. When
her husband came home to dinner, she
said, II have been to see Mrs.

she is very happy" "Ilappy 1 should

TIE WooD Cu3rPER PRESIDENT
The recent election of Senator Wade as
President of the United States Senate, by
which he becomes Vice President of the
United States, "reminds me of little
story" (as our last President used TO say)
of the times when we were boys together,
over in the county of Astabula.
Once upon time Ben. Wade and Tim
Waters had job of chopping wood, over
in the township of Andover; they board
ed with very pious lady by the name of
Adams, who was more given to prayer
meetings than to good housekeeping
Upon IA certain evening, young Wade AMI
his companion attended the prayer meet
ing, where Mrs. Adams delivered an ear
nest exhortation, and closed with a humble
confession of her own short comingS saying
that she was a miserable sinner and poor
critter, and unworthy of any mercy, etc.
When Mrs. Adams took her seat, Wa le
nudged his companion to say something
Waters arose, and said, very solemnly that
he could bear testimony to the truth Of
what Mrs. Adams had been saying, as he
and his friend were boarding at her house
The meeting was speedily closed and the
next day the two young men were notified
to look up new boarding place, as they
could not any longer be Accommodated
under Mrs. Adams roof

SOUTHERN DAUGITERs AT TIE PA

SENTINEL SONGS.

When sinks the soldier brave
Dead AT the feet of Wrong,
The poet sings-and guards his grave
With sentinels Of Song
30 songs"-he gives command
Keep faithful watch and true;
The living and dead Of the conquered land
Have now no guards save you.
And. Ballads mark We well,
Thrice holy is your trust;
60 out 10 the fields were warriors fell.
And sentinel their dust"
And the Songs, in stately rhyme,
With softly sounding tread,
March forth-to watch. till the end Of time,
Beside the silent dead.
And when the foeman's host
And hate have passed away,
Cur guard Of Songs shall keep th i ost,
Around our soldiers clay.
A thousand dawns may glow,
A thousand days may wane,
The deathless Son where the dead lac low
True to the last, -'smain-
Yea, truel They will not yield
To tyTRnts OF to time;
At every grave and on every held
Where men died deaths sublime
Lone vigils they will keep,
Obedient 20 their Bard
And they will watch when we shall sleep
Our last and only Guard.
What though our vict0rs say:
''No column shall be built,
Above the graves where the men IN Gray
Lie mouldering in their guilt 2"
All let the tyrant curse
The dead be tramples down
Our strong. brave Songs, in their sweet, sad
verse,
Fear not the tyrant's frown
What though no sculptured shaft
Commemorate our BraYef
What though no monument epltaphed
Be built above their gravel
VIXEN marble wears away,
And monuments are dust,
The Songs that guard cur soldiers clay
Win still fulfill their trust
