Mr.. a., too is the representative of the
class who hold the national debt to be a
national blessing, and who never intend
to have it paid so long as the present
system endures, and enables them to shift
to the shoulders Of others the taxes re-
quired to meet its interest. So long as
the poor devils of toll, as they are ac-
customed to be styled, can be hood
winked into voting to maintain that
party in power which invented this
system, just so long will they continue to
be poor devils.

The Registration Commissioner fol
Shelby county, who was supposed to be
fair man and disposed to do simply his
duty under the law, has shown himself to
be the very reverse. He has proven to be
as supple tool Of his master BrOwnlOw
as the somewhat famous Hopkins. 1t is
remarkabl that the men appointed to
this position cannot rise to the dignity of
the honest, impartial officer. They
carry with them the mean instincts of
the petty politician, and can rise no
higher than to defeat Democrat S in get

entitled.

Of lofty longing toward thy face,
And be MS one who speechless stands
In rapture at some perfect grace.

A monarch in thy realm complete,

A Few MarIms for young CIrI,.

Never make your appearance in the morn
ing without having FIRST bathed, (if only with
sponge aud quart Of water), brushed and
arranged your hair, aud dressed yourself
neatly and completely.
Keep your clothing, especially your under
clothing in perfect order. Never let pins do
duty as buttons, or strings take the place Of
proper bands
Examine every garment when it comes
from the wash, and, if necessary, mend it
with neatness and precision. Do not sew I'D
the holes in your stockings, as we have seen
some careless, untidy girls do, but take in a
broad margin afouDd the bole, be il small or
large, with fine darning- needle and daru>
Ing-cotton, and cover the fracture with an
interaced stitch, so close as to be as strong
as the body Of the stocking, and fine enough
to be ornamental Stockings mended in this
way need darning but few times iu the
course Of their existence.
Never carry coarse, embroidered or laced
handkerchiefs. Fine, plain ones are much
more lady-like.
Avoid open-worked stockings aud very
fancy slippers. Fine, plain, white hose, and
U'dCA Atu sHPperSJ WITH only strap or rOSette
IN front, are more becoming
Train yourself to useful occupation. y, Re-
member it is wicked to waste time, and moths
ing gives such an impression of vanity and
absolute stiffness as a habit OF idliug and
never having anything to do.
If you are in your fathers house, take
some department of household labor upon
yourself, aud part of the sewing and make
ityour business to attend to it, Do not let
call from this idle girl, or visit from that,
or an invitation from the other, interfere
with the performance of your duty.
Let your pleasure co ne in as recreation,
not as the business of your life.
If you want to marry, do not court or try
to attract the attention of gentlemen. A
little wholesome indifference, real or assumed
will'be much more likely to accomplish tSe
OBJECT Consider, moreover that it is better
to be woman than a wife, and do not de-
grade your sex by making your whole exis-
tence turn on the pivot of matrimony.
1t you can, cultivate to perfection some
art by which you could gain an independent
livelihood. Do it, whether there is necessity
for it or not. There is no telling when. or
under what circumstances you may need
it.-Demorest

The Farmers Fireside.

Around the fire one wintry night,
The farmers rosy children sat;
The fnggot lent its blazing light,
And mirth went round, and harmless chat
When, hark gentle hand they hear
Low tapping at the bolted door,
Anl thus 10 gain their willing ear,
\ feeble voice was heard implore:
" Cold blows the blast across the moor,
The sleet drives kissing in the wind
Iou toilsome mountain lies before,
dreary. treeless waste behind.
g Nv eyes are dim and weak with age
Va road, no path, can descry;
Aud these poor rags i'll stand tine rage
OF such Il keen inclement sky.
81 So faint am, these lettering feet
No more my palsied frame can bear;
Ny freezing heart fOrgets to beat,
And drifting SHOWS my tomb prepare.
- Open your hospitable door,
and shield me from the biting blast
CDtI, cold It blows across the moor,
The weary moor that have passed"
With has,y steps the farmer ran,
And close beside the fire they place
The poor haU,frozen beggar.man,
With shaking limbs and pale blue face.
The lt;le children hocking came,
Aud chafad his frozen hands 10 theirs;
And busily the good old dame
\ comfortable mess prepares.
Their kindness cheered his dropping soul,
And slowly down his wrinkled cheek
The big round tear was seen to roll,
And told the thanks be could not speak.
The children then began to Sigh,
AMI all their merry chat was o'er;
And yet they felt, they knew not why,
More glad than they had done before.

THE LoAFER.-There is an accurate de-
scriptiou of a class of men who infest every
community. The most miserable, hopeless
scrap of humanity is an idle mana man
whose chief aim of life is to ''loaf f'-to waste
in listleuess, lOuDgipg. and mental and phys.
ical inaction the years of this short of life.
There are scores of such beings in every town
and city miserable loafers, whose sole occu<
patton is to avoid employment of any kind
whose lives can scarcely be called liVes-who
die one after another and leave behind them
what? A vacancy to be mourned! No, for
they are in themselves vacancies not men.
10 these atoms society owes nothing. The
history of the worlds progress ignores their
names and existence; and being dead, the
grave contains no more inert, worthless earth
than it did before. They become chronic nu-
lsances as regards their worth or value, and
from day to day, in the haunts of busy men,
they pass as uncurrent funds-at so much of
discount that they cannot even buy them
selves. Such are loafers-miserable, worth
less beings, who die only when they get too
indoleut to use their respiratory organs.

AN advertising people are always thrifty.
The enterprise and energy that prompt them
to. push forward in the race and keep them>
selves and their business before the eyes of
the world, insure them against failure. Ii
would be difficult topOint to a single instance
of great success in trade that has not been
won through the valuable medium of the ad,
vertising columns of the public press. Our
most famous houses in every branch of busi-
ness are those which have expended fortunes
as advertisers, and persevered until they have
forced patronage from the public. The
American people are beginning to understand
these truths, and advertising is now as much
a necessity of fbusiness life as are the railroads
and the telegraph.

To APPRENTIcEs.-The only way for a
young man to prepare for usefulness is to
devote himself to study during his leisure
hours. First, be industrious in your busi-
ness. Never complain that you are obliged
to work but go to it with aacrity and
cheerfuness, and it will become habit that
will make you respected by your employer
aud the community. Make it your business
to see to and promote your employers inter
est; by taking care of his, you will learn to
take care of. your own. Second, be industri
ous in your studies. Few persons can com>
plain Of harder master than Franklin's yet
he had laid the foundation of his greatness
while an apprentice. Success depends not
on the amount of leisure you may have. but
upon the manner in which it is-employed.

FULL FEED AND WATER.-For the great,
est benefit to grazing stock the pasturage
should always be abundant. When a bull.
lock or COW has to work, BY continuously
ranging over broad surface to CLEAN their
food, they cannot expect to get fat, or yield
much milk. A full bite to the beast, is
the only profitable way of feeding. Cattle
love rest. Any creature should be able to
fill itself in two or three hours time, and
then lie down and ruminate. Water, too
should always, be handy. When they can
get water at will, cattle usually drink three
or four times day when at pasture. Many
people suppose that if they are let out of a
dry pasture twice day, and conducted to
water this is sufficient. Not so cattle have
but little forethOught and cannot, as men
do, anticipate a want which may occur an
hour or two hence, and provide for it in
advance, We have seen herd driven out
in the early part of the day to water, and
many of them would hardly touch it, and in
two hours afterWard they would be lowing
about the fences, gates, or bars, in distress
for water, and not obtaining it, they suffered
throughout the day, eating little or nothing,
until the next watering hour arrived, and
then drinking so inordinately as to injure
and disarrange all their digestion. Men may
say that cattle will become habituated to
such stated watering, BY practice. They
may, to some extent; but any one who will
try the two methods, Of giving them water
at will, or only at certain hours, once OF
twice day, will soon perceive the differences
in their condition of flesh, or yield Of milk.
