HURRAH FOR GRANT !
ruNE- Wearing Of the Green.

Tune Wearing Of the Green.
Hurrah for Old Appomattaxl Hurrah for
General Grant
With him we whipped the rebels and song
for him we chant;
Well rally round the battle flag, the flag oi
Union true,
And drive the Rebel Gray again before the
Loyal Blue.
Oh he knows the Boys in Blue Yes, he
knows the Boys in Blue,
And with ballots as with bullets he will find
them ever true
And the Graybacks, as the COpperheads
will learn the truth anew,
That our Yankee lads will ne'er forget the
wearing of the Blue.
They may weep for Stonewall jackson, ant
of Lee they still may vaunt,
While we shout for Old Appomattox, ano
vote for General Grant.
They may sympathize with Davis, aud up
hold his beaten crew.
But no Rebel Gray shall ever stay the LOya
Boys in Blue.
And they'll never finch, or give an inch
while work they have to do;
So, bring on your Rebel Gray again, anC
give us but view,
And we'll show you that we don't forge
the wearing Of the Bluei

An Unforsunate Plight.

The Dubuque Herald is responsible
for the following humorous sketch Of
the misfortunes of an Iowa clergyman:
Thursday last, among the goods ex.
pressed from the West by the d. d 6.
B. r., were number Of baskets of hen
fruit. Two or three stations this side
of that at which they were placed upon
the car, an ex-minister of huge pIOpor-
tions stepped into the express car, and
our clerical friend accidentally took his
position in front of them, with his back
towards the eggs, While the twain
were conversing the train suddenly
started forward. The reverend gentle
man was taken unawares by the unex-
pected jerk, and lost his balance. He
found it in the basket Of eggs just in
his rear The result of this ministerial
onset-if we may so term it-baffles all
description. Of course the contents of
the basket came to an unlucky end.
Ike Partington once set hen on
ffty-two eggs, just to see her spread
herself. Here was man not used to
the business who had set himself on
ffty-two dozen, and successfully &C
complished the same result, as any one
could see. But though backward in
getting in that undignified position, be
was by no means backward in getting
out. He erected himself and examined
himself Any member of his church.
if present, would have recognized in
him not only a faithful fellow-laborer,
but an earnest yolk fellow. For min
ute he stood motionless, except as be
with spread and tremulous fingers, in
an undecided and uncertain way,
waved his hands with the air of man
who had been egged on to desperation.
He certainly presented ludicrous as
pect. As the precious ointment ran
down Aaron's beard, 50 tue albumin
Gus unguent ran down the preachers
trowsers' legs, spreading in translucent
iquidness upon the floor about his feet.
The express messenger took the stove
hearth and did what be could towards
cleaning his friend off-a novel way Of
scraping al acquaintance.

each nation shall recognize naturaliza-

former allegiance and conferring all the
rights of citizenship; and we affirm the
duty of the Federal Government to ex-
tend adequate and equal protection to all
its citizens at home and abroad, native
and naturalized, when in the legitimate

Resolved, That we reiterate to the
soldiers and sailors of the Republic our
expressions of heartfelt gratitude for
their heroic sacrifices and services,

the great cause which their valor and
endurance have saved in the field, we
pledge to the MANNED, who survive and

fell, the public faith for the payment ol
all their pensions and bounties.
ResolVed, That we remember, with
pride and satisfaction, the services oi
that noble patriot-statesman, and son oi

STERLING ADVICE.

A lady makes some sensible suggestions
in London journal on the subject Of Mar
riage or Celibaey, few ofwhieh we annex
and say that there is a great deal of truth in
them
"When girl marries, she ought, to a
certain extent, to giveup her acquaintance,
and consider the company of her husband
the best company she can have. The young
wife must learn cooking carefully, if she
does not already have a good knowledge Of
it. There are many excellent cookery books,
but she must not follow them implicitly.
''My own plan of some time after / was
married, was to take some dish and prepare
it once according to the receipt given, and
note carefully what ingredients could be
dispensed with. The second time / gencr-
ally managed it at half the expense. A
useful plan is to keep blank book in the
kitchen table drawer, and whenever a deyia
ton from the orthodox cookery book i
made to jotit down. Do not wait till yor
have washed your hands; let the book b
finger marked rather than lose an idea.
you will thus learn more of household
economy than if you trust to memory alone,
and when you daughters grow up, what .
fund of practical information it will be fol
them. To great extent the cclibacy o.
our young men is owing to the way in
which girls are brought up. Through
mistaken kindness mothers often do them
selves what they ought to make theil
daughters do. Let them teach them house
keeping, on a fine methodical plan, anc
they will then learn their history, French
and music all the better
1t is natural and right that a mothe
should wish to see her daughters well ed
ucated, and even highly accomplished, anC
it is mistake that good and careful educa
ton would unfit girl for the homely duties
of cooking, busting &C. On the contrary
those duties would be better performed, anC
if mothers would, at the same time that the,
seek talented instructors for their daughters
impart to them some of their own culinar,
talent, there would be more good wives an,
more marriages.
Little girls should be taught, as early a
possible, to perform simple household dutie
neatly, and as they grow older let them be
come gradually acquainted with the theor.
of housekeeping in such amanner that whel
they are married they will be able to adap
themselves to their circumstances, and b.
useful as well as pleasing companions t
their husbands

A TOUCHING SCENE.


| was conversing not long since with a re-
turned volunteer.
= was in hospital as nurse for long
time said he, had assisted 10 taking of
limbs and dressing all sorts Of wounds, but
the hardest thing I every did was to take
ny thumb off a man leg.
"Ah!' said I, chow was that ?''
Then he told me.
IL was young man who had severe
wound in the thigh. The ball had passed
completely through and amputation was
necessary. The limb was cut of close up to
the body, the arteries taken up and he seem
ed to be doing we'll One Of the arteries
sloughcd off. An incisiou was made, and it
was again taken up 1T is well it is not
the main artery, said the surgeon, as he
performed the operation: he might have
bled to death before we could have taken it
up But Charley got on finely and was a
fayorite with us all. l was passing through
the ward one night about midnight, when
sud5eniy, as | was passing Charley's bed,
he spoke to me, saying, IL my leg is
bleeding again I threw back the bed
clothes aud The blood spirited into the air.
fortunately, | knew just what to do and in
an instant ! put my thumb on the place and
stopped the bleeding 1t was so close to
the body that there was scarcely room for
my thumb but / succeeded in keeping it
there, and. arousing one Of tbeconvalescents,
sent him for the surgeon, who came in on
the run. l am so thankful H" said
he, that you were up and knew what to
do for he must have bIed to death before |
could have got here" But on examination
Of the case he looked exceedingly serious
and sent for other surgeons. All came that
were in reach, and a consultation was held
over the poor fellow. One conclusion was
reached by all. There was no place to work
save the spot where my thumb was placed;
they could not work under my thumb, for il
moved it he would bleed to death before
the artery could be taken up, There wa,
no way to save his life. Poor Charley II,
was very calm when they told him and re
! quested that his brother, who was in tb,
same hospital, might be called up. II,
came and sat by the bedside and for thre,
hours stood and by the pressure Of m!

AN OLD DEMOCRAT on GRANT.


Hon. Isaac N. Morris, an old and in
fuential democrat of Quincy, Illinois,
made a long and able speech lately in favor
of Grant and Colfax. The conclusion of it
was as follows:
If you ask me to forget the rebelion-if
you ask me to blot out from my recollection
the memory of the five hundred thousand
brave patriots who died that their country
might liye-some of whose graves you have
been strewing afectionately to-day with
flowers, sweet emblems of gratitude-if you
ask me to shut my eyes to the widows, and
orphans, and manned soldiers left by the
war-ifyou ask me to assist in restoring to
power treason and traitors their auxiliar-
ies-if you ask me to embrace men whose
hands are stained with the precious blood
Of our fallen heroes, and who only wait for
favorable opportunity to overthrow the
Government, | tell you frankly | am moi
with yeu in that
If you ask me to lift my voice against the
Great Captain to whom we are more iudebt.

any other living man, and who has written

to have some little gratitude left. The en-
suing four years will, in my Judgment, be
the most dangerous and eYentful in our his

the Government who viii be equal TO the
emergency, or we viii sink under the weight
of crushing revolution. No tremulous
hand must be at the helm; no politician who
will seek only his own interest at the ex.

ever more careful to express your approba-
ton Of good conduct than aisapprobation Of
bad. Nothing can more discourage a child
than a spirit of incessant fault.fadinq on
the part of its parents. Ard hardly any
thing can exert more injurious influence
upon the disposition both of the parent anu
the child There one two great motives
influencing human action, hope and fear.
Bat who would not prefer to have her child
influenced to good conduct by the desire of
pleasing, rather than by the fear Of offend
ing? IF a mother never express her graft
fieation when her children do well, and is
always censuring when she sees any thing
amiss, they are discouraged and unhappy.
They feel there is no use in trying to please
The disposition becomes hardened and
soured by this ceaseless fretting. At last,
finding that, whether they dowell DRILL, they
are equally found fault with they relnquish
all effort to please, and become needless of
reproaches.
But let mother approve of a child con-
duct whenever she can. Let her show that
his behavior makes her sincerely happy.
Let her reward him for his efforts to please,
by smiles and affection In this way she
viii cherish in her child heart, some of the
noblest and most disirable feelings Of our
nature. She will cultivate in him an amiable
disposition under cheerful spirit. Your
child has been during the day very pleasant

asleep for the night, you take his hand and
say. My son, you have been very good
boy to-day 1t makes me very happy to
see you so kind and obedient God loves
little children who are dutiful to their par

to him great reward. And when with

FORGIVENESS OF INJURIES.

1t is well known that the Koran of Ma
homet contains many passages copied from
the sacred writings. Among others, the
Arabian prophet has give place to those
precepts of our adorable Redeemer, which
recommend forgiveness of injuries, and over
coming evil with good. One day the Ca
liph Hassan, son of Hall, being at dinner,
slave unfortunately let fall dish of meat
reekiDg hot, which sealded him severely.
The slave fell on his knees, exclaiming, in
| the language of the Koran, Paradise is for
those who restrain their anger " II am
not angry with thee, replied the Caliph.
And for those who forgive offences against
them, y continued the slave. 81 forgive thee
thine, responded the Caiph But above
all for thosS who return good for evil, add
ed the slave. 81 set thee at liberty" re-
joined the Caliph, ''and | give thee ten

themselves the followers of the merciful
Jesus, but live under the power ola merci-
