LIVE FOR somBrH1Neg

Thousands of men breathe, move
and live; pass off the stage of life and
are heard of no more. Why? They
did not a particle ofgood in the world !;
and none were blest by them, none
could point to them as the instrument
of their redemption not line they
wrote, not a word they spoke, could
be recalled, and SO they pesished-
their light went out in darknenss, and
they were not remembered more than
the insects of yesterday. VIII you
thus live and die, o man immortal /?
Live for something. Do good, and
ieave behind you a monument of..vir-
tue that the storms of time can never
destroy. Write your name, by kind
ness, love and mercy, on the hearts Of
the thousands you come in contact
with year by year. And you win
never be forgotten. No, your name,
your deeds, will be as 1egible on the
hearts you leave behind, as the stars
on the brow of evening. Good deeds
will shine as bright on the earth as the
stars of heaven.-C -Chdlaners.i iii5t iIi's II

THE -PRIarE OF LIFE"

There is certain yagueness about
this expression, for hear it applied
equally to men of thirty five, OF. tllere-
abouts, though they manage to look
Younger. Somebody has we'll said
that "a man is no older than he feels,
woman than she leoks."G For per-
sons of joy GUS temperanentand good
physique, then, the prime of life may
last to a late period. A writer in
CasSelEs Magazine speaks. of DIR. o..
w. Holmes, sat the age of fifty-nine,
as being in the prime oflife, and so he
is, being mentally and physieically as
sound as ever. Dickens, at fifty.sev-
en- is in the prime of life, welding the
pen as vigorously as he did thirty
years ago, and walking his twenty
miles before dinner whenever the
humor takes him. 1t might have been
said of Lord Palmerston that he was
in the prime of life when past seventy,
SO vigorous then was he in frame, in
intellect so clear. And so of the late
Lord Brougham,e who pcoald go
through a vast amount of mental and
bodily fatigue when close upon his
eighthieth year. What the prime Of
Mr.. Parton's "Coming Man" is to bc
the time has hardly yet arrived for
discussion. If he really is to abjure.
matutinal cocktail, though, and decline
to muddle himself with bad tobacco,
he may remain in his prime long
enough to solve the problem of the
philosophers stone, or, perchanee, to
square the circle. Women are aptto
think that a man must be past the
prime of life when his hair turns gray.
Yet we have known many man VEN
erable as to his locks and board, who
was very much in his prime, indeed,
and quite able to wallop the rash bab-
bier who should doubt it. The prime
of life is earlier with some persons,
later with others. We have known
women who were past their prime at
thirty, and others, who, with grand-
children around them, were just in
the iioonlide of their prime. Consti-.
tuition has much to do with the ques-
ton, and SO have the habits and aeci-
dents of life. o Eto- 1zl'H rfii ~ T.

ANIcE HEAD OF A FAMILY.

The Sutton, n. Fl. tragedy is posi-
lively sickening in its details. Mrs.
Mitchell states that while she was sit
ting by an open fire in the kitchen,
her husband suddenly threw bottle
of kerosene oil into the flames. An
explosion followed, and Mrs. Mitchell
became enveloped in flames. Unas-
sisted by her husband She endeavored
to extinguish the fire, but without
success. She then ran into an ad-
joining room, her burning clothing
dropping from her at every step. At
last her husband pretended to assist
her, but when he did, whether inten-
tionally or not only aggravated his
wife'o sufferings, for he opened a
door and also took a stick and poked
about her clothing, when the flames
reached the poor woman's face and
threatened 10 choke her. He, after
much effort, succeeded in nearly put
ting out the fire, and then called the
neighbors, Mrs. Mitchell also gave
further particulars of her husband S
cruelty to herself and children. One
evening, about week before the sad
event above related occurred, Mitchell
took his youngest child, a babe about
three months old, and under the plea
of endeavoring to stop it from crying,
he held it between two rocks in, the
fireplace, used instead of ,and-irons,
and over the flames until one side of
its face was horribly burned, from its
chin to scalp. He afterwards struck
the child severe blow on the other
side Of the face, choked it untilit was
black and blue, and then gagged it
with handkerchief. All this was
done in the presence of the mother,
who dared not utter a word lest he
should kill both the child and herself.
She also related other cruelties which
she and her child had received at the
hands of her brutal husband. Mitchell
has been arrested, examined, and
bound over for trial in the Supreme
Court. In default of bail he has been
committed to Jail at Concord. -.

Vive the bitter controversies otthe

They may differ in opinion as to the
propriety Of what has been done,
but fear the evils that would attend
its undoing. But if Mr.. Pendleton

are determined to carry the reaction

it as a favorable sign, and double

desires to see the question of re-
construction speedily settled, the
States in their places in the Union,
and the results of the war safely
secured by constitutional provision,
can vote for Mr. Pendleton; and
for the very substantial reason, as

Rosecrans and the Democracy

The letter of General Rosecrans
declining the nomination for Gov
ernor by the Democracy of this
State, discovers the true reasoiis
which induced him to take this
step. The entire purport Of this
letter, expressed in brief is this;
81 am not the kind of a Demo
crat you take me for. | am a
Democrat IN the generic and philo-
sophical sense of the term. You
are Democrats in name only"
The General then goes on to give
tile party a very plain lecture on its
present duties, the burden of which
is being dead in trespasses and
sins Won must repent and be born
again before you enter upon the
administration ofthe Government.
This is wholesome advice hrayely
spoken, and we commend it to the
serious consideration of every mem
ber of the moribund Ohio Democ-
racy.
