Make Home Pleasant.

Air ana sunlight are Gods free gifts
to man, you must use them, or Satan
will set them elsewhere as traps to draw
away the young souls given into yonr
| charge. Cleanliness has been said to he
next TO godliness. : 1t is ALMOST part of
it; and nothing so effectually bots out
moral purity as close, rayless, untidy
place which some call home. Let the
word home ever stand next to heaven in
the child'S vocabulary, and let him feel
that his parents are the ministering angels
thereof.
Let home be the place where he shall
ever meet love aud appreciation. Let
home be the place where he shall invarla-
bly, find the best and the purest pleasures,
and then it will be home indeed. The
roof may be lowly, but
Home is not merely roof and room,
1t wants something to endear it,
The costliest dwelling may be only an
elegant jail without this ''somethine.n
and the hnmbIest roof is IN the truest
sense home, when endeared TO the
heart by pure aud holy memories of par
entail tears and prayers. Let your chill
dren be children. Let them play. 1t is
natural. They only obey the universal
laws of God in sporting, as do the lambs
and the kittens.
''He who checks a child with terror,
Stops its play, and stills its song,
Not alone commits an error,
But a grievous moral wrong.
''Give it play and never fear it
Active life is no defect,
Never, never check its spirit,
Curb it only to direct.
"Would you check the flowing river,
Thinking it would cease to flow
Onward it must flow forever;
Better teach it where to 90"

Many peop'e even with plenty of money.
never know how to live. Their houses may
cost good deal of money and yet they all

are always down; the gates broken off the
hinges; til pancs of glass out of the windows;
aud pillow or belquilt stuck in their place.
Inside their houses everything looks dirty
and miserable. And when it comes to eating,
they never know what real good meal of
vituals is
Now, if you could visit the northern States
and see how the poor farming people live,
you would learn lesson f
Many farmers in the northern States who
do not make as much money as our Freed.
men do on their plantations, live great deal
nicer and better than the richest people in
Texas do. And why? t haa @ a.
Because they know how to live
They keep their houses neatly painted.
They keep their fences always up and
whitewashed in front their houses
Inside their houses everything is as neat
as pin, no matter If it not fine.
They may not have much good beef or
other things as we have in Texas but they
take pains to cook wel and last, but not
least, they keep clean and read the newspapers.
We want to impress upon every person who
reads the Free Mau's Press what great thing
it is to know how to live 1t is kind of knowl-
edge which makes up for the want of riches

Shade for Bees,

We are persuaded that Shade is an adj
vantage to bees We have seen the best
success where hives were set among trees
not dense, but scattered sufficiently how
ever to form a tolerabie shade, enough to
brake the strong rays of1he sun; and it
stands IN reason, the extremc of heat is
avoided. There is also not that invitation
to fly early when the air surrounding the
hive is cold, and snow perhaps lies on
the ground. 1t is il this way that bees
in the forest are situaled--not in the den
sest shade, but in The. tops Of trees where
there is light air, and sufficient warmth
without great heat. The direct heat of
the sun strikes the hive is our doings.
not The bees; and we do not blame them
when they show disposition to leave
such place and go to the woods. An
other confirmation that is favorable to bees
is the fact that they do bestin temper
ate Latitude say forty degrees. Journal Of

The Surratt Case.

WASHINGTON, September 23.--The argu-
ment on the special plea in the surratt case
was continued this morning. The prosecu-
ton argues that the act of Congress of Jan
uery 10Th, 1867, nullifes the Presidents
amnestying power; and, further, that if
the proclamation was potent, surratt's case
is not embraced in it.
At the close of the argument Judge Wylie
sustained the potency of the Presidents pro-
clamation, but rejected the special plea, say
ing that it does not appear from the record
that the prisoner adhered to the enemy or
that he committed treason within the procla-
nation. The offence is misdemeanor, and
is not covered by the terms of the proclama-
ton. He, for these reasons, sustained the
demurrer.
The defence asked leave to amend their
plea, and the court adjourned. ..
