Light Hearted PEOPLE.

There are people who habitually
make the best of things, not from sense
of duty, not from dislike of sympathy,
not from any shrinking from pain on their
own account or for others, but simply
from a natural and unconquerable light
ness of heart. These people supply the
oxygen of the moral atmosphere, and
should be maintained at the public expense
to keep it sweet and pure. Even if in
stead of being, as they generally are, ac-
tive and otherwise cstimable members OF
society, they did nothing but enjoy life,
they would still be worth cultivating for
the sake of the light and heat which they
kindle. The only difficulty is how to re
gulate them. They are are SO irressti
bly, impelled to sing songs, that in world
where heavy hearts are unfortunately
common, it is difficult always to keep the
vinegar and nitre apart.

Presents to General Grant.

We notice that the people are beinning
to make presents to the President elect.
These testimonials of esteem and admira-
tion have probably, without exception,
some ulterior motive. The generous
giver expects return of some kiad; he
wants an Office; or he wants notoriety and
cheap newspaper fame.
General Grant has so fine seen of pro-
priety that we have no doubt he is annoy.
ed by these gifts, which yet he may ba
too softhearted to refuse. But We hope,
nevertheless, that he will refuse them
Let them be pictures, carriages, books,
horses, or barrels ofapple sauce, he ought
to instruct General Badeau, who so ad-
mirably does his inciviities, to send these
gifts back, with the notification that nei-
ther gifts nor begging letters can be re-
ceived by the President elect
He will, if he does this, save himself
some unpleasant remarks Mrs Lincoln
used, it was said, to receive gifts of diff
fereut kinds, much to the annoyance of
her husband and it was also said that
those who sent her gift managed in
course OF time to receive some Office or
place in return. Let General Grant take
warning in time, and give notice that
neither he nor his family will receive
presents.
As for number Of persons who doubh-
less are preparing testimonials of esteem
for the new President, let them lay these
aside for four years, and present them to
Grant when he retires from the presiden-
cy. They will then be gratefully recei.

has been successful, aud that the people

Passing Away.

An exchange beautifully treats this
subject as follows:
SIT is astonishing with what rapidity
time passes away how the days, the
weeks, the months and the years roll
round, carrying with them the beauty
and the hopes of this world into vast
and unknown future 1t seems but a
short time, indeed, since we all felt and
enjoyed the springs and buoyancy of
youth, the delights of home, the influence
of paternal love, the society and counsel
of friends who now sleep in the grave ;
and yet some of us are aged and the ma
jority have attained to mature manhood.
The young of the present generation are
growing up around us, but in our youth
we knew them not While we have been
passing on, in the direction Of the grave,
they have sprung out to occupy our places
and follow rapidly in the rear. Before
US We see the aged tottering along in their
feebeness and learning upon their slaves;
behind US the youth flushed with promise
and the infant prattling in its mother
arms. That circle has been kept up un-
broken since the morning of the creation;
that circle will be kept up, unbroken, un-
til time is lost in eternity.

Get Married.

Voltaire said, THE more married men
you have, the fewer crimes there will be. !"
Marriage renders man more virtuous
and more wise. An unmarried man is
but half perfect being, and it requires
the other half to make things right: and
it cannot be expected that in this imper
feet state he can keep the straight path of
rectitude any more than boat with one
oar or bird with one wing can keep a
straight course. In nine cases out of ten,
when married men become drunkards, or
when they commit crimes against the
peace of the community, the foundation
of their acts was laid while in single
state, or where the wife is, as is sometimes
the case, an unsuitable match. Marriage
changes the current of mans feelings
and gives him a centre for his thoughts,
his feelings, and his acts. Here is a
home for the entire man, and the interest
of his better. half keeps him from erratic
courses, and from falling into thousand
temptations to which he would otherwise
be exposed Therefore, the friend tt
marriage is friend to society and to his
country. People about to marry, who
wish to know the proper age, are referred
to the following precedents: Adam and
Eve 0; Shakespeare, IS; Ben johnson, Il

Efficacy of Onions.

A writer says eve are troubled often
with severe coughs, the result Of colds of
long standing, which may turn to con
sumption or premature death Hard
coughs cause sleepless nights by constant
irritation of the throat, and strong effort
to throw off offensive matter from the
lungs, The remedy proposed has often
been tried, and is simply to make into
the stomach before retiring for the night
a piece of raw onion after chewing. This
esculent in au uncooked state is very heat
ing, and collects the water from the lungs
and throat causing immediate relief tc

Pretty Good.

A man being lately on tramp to Canada
SAYS that at a certain farm house in the back
woods, where he had occasion to stop, the
following rich scene took place: The fam
lily were about TO partake of their brea kfast,
and sat down for that purpose. The old man
being a lover of squirrels, and that being the
principle dish of the mornings repast, had
his particular piece laid on The side of the
dish next to his. The old man commenced
saying grace, as follows: "Oh Lord, we
thank thee for the blessing thou hast set be-
fore us : do thou guide and direct US through
life"-here, raising his eyes, he perceived
his son Gideon laying his hands on his choice
piece of squirrel. and hen in hurried man.
ner ended the grace-"deliver us from evil
for the Lords sake, amen,-bv golly, Gid,
that's my piecel hand it here!'

The Last Dollar.

He gave it to his wife with sigh, yet
with look of resignation.
at is our last dollar" he said "but
the Lord will provide"
Rev. James Spring was minister in the
little mountain village of Thornville. He
was poor and his congregation was poor.
Often before he had been very near his
last dollar, but he had never actually got
to it until to- day.
$50 you've been always saying" sobbed
his wife "but what is to become of US
when this is gone? They won't trust US
any more at the store and your salary
wont be due these three weeks, even if
you get it then. Why do you stay here,
James, where the people are so poor p
81 have no other place to go to nor
money to travel to it if the Lord opened
a way. My work for the present is here.
He feedeth the young ravens. He will
surely feed u.s."

we do! And she wrung her hands des-
pairingly. "My poor children J"
"Once I was young and now l am DID,"
solemnly said her husband, speaking in
the words of the Psalmist, "yet never
have l seen the righteous forsaken, nor
his seed begging bread"
As if in answer to his pious ejacula-
ton, there came a sudden knock at the
door. All the while the minister and his
wife had been talking a storm had BEEN
raging outside. On opening the door,
traveller, quite wet through, entered.
81 was coming through the forest from
! Maryville," he said, "and ventured to
stop at the first house l saw. My horse
is in the shed. Do take too great Ii
berty ?"
"Not at all" answered the master of
the house. eve have but poor shelter,
as you see ; but such as it is, you are well
come to it; there is a good fire, at any
rate"
For it was in the kitchen where this.
conversation took place. Indeed, this,
humble home boasted no parlor, and the
kitchen was dining room, drawing room I,
and all.
The stranger proved to be man Of
education and intelligence, and in con-
versation with him the minister forget
his trouble and was reminded of earlier
and brighter days, when intellectual CON-
, panionsihp had not been the rare thing it
!; was now, up among these hills.
st last the storm abated, and the strang-
!, er rose to go. His host accompanied him,
to the gate, and watched him till he dis
appeared behind turn of the road.

. ly, when he turned to the house. 81

gentleman sat"

His wife burst into tears.

Dressing Girls.

The customary practice of dressing our
girls is taken up by the sharp pen of Mr..
Upton, in the Chicago Tribune in for
cible manner. At the opening of this
severe winter weather, let parents heed
these admonitions and I warnings.
In these cold, blowy snowy days, am
panied to see the efforts of foolish par
ents to freeze their little girls. 1t is an
outrage. Girls should be dressed just as
comfortably as boys. On the CONTRARY,
the poor little shivering things a resent out
into the streets, with their heads comfor-
tably protected, thick shawls around their
shoulders which comparatively need no
protection, their skirts standing out at an
angle of forty FIVE degrees, and their poor
little drum-stick legs as unprotected from
the blasts as the legs of turkey hanging
in meatstall. And thus we pack off
these little girls to school, with their big
heads to be crammed full of learning, at
the expense of their legs, which, at ten
der age, are of more importance than their
heads.
As general rule, parents should de-
vote their entire attention to their little
girls legs and let their heads alone. The
heads will take care of themselves in due
time. The legs are helpless and need
looking after. BY taking care of the
heads little girls acquire a knowledge,
such as it is, of music, drawing, all the
modern languages, botany, the use of the
globes, embroidery, poetry, and in gener-
al little of nothing and by neglecting
at the same their legs they acquire colds,
coughs, headaches, weak backs, pipe stem
legs, hollow chests, neuralgiae and other
mplaints, which either send them tc
Heaven before they ought to go, to be
made into premature angels or if they
live to grow up, make them drag through
a miserable, unhappy and unhealthy life
And ali this time you take your great
strapping, tough hulks of boys, who are
never cold, and are twice as strong anC
hardy as your girls, and wrap them up
and fit them out in thick wooden trouser:
and drawers and heavy top boots. The
J result is, they grow up to be tough, strong
|, men. and these little wretched, artifcia
feminine creatures don't grow up at all
or if they do, they develp, into a seort ol
Humau curiosity, idI DetleI lOI pleSelfd
tion in case Of butterflies than for con

If had absolute power granted me
would call together every mother in thi
city and l would whisper in their ears
t take those girls of yours and clotht
! them properly. You have no business t
= embitter their future lives with the mis-
cry of poor health, and some of you l no
tice are numbering your children. 1t
therefore ordered that within twenty-fou
hours, every one of those blessed little
girls shall have nice, warm WOODEN gar

her feet shod with thick comfortable shoes

A child was captured by an eagle near
Meigsville, Tenn, on Christmas Eve, and
carried about two miles before it was re-
scued He was bri ght little fellow, just
old enough to be learning to walk
When no one was in the house, lie mana
ged to roll out of his trundle, bed and
crawl into the front yard. a great gray
eagle came swooping down, and fastened
its immense talons in the clothing Of the
little boy, then rose up with much diff
ficulty, and sailed off across the adjacent
woods, just skimming the tops of the
trees. It's course lay towards the Cum
berand Rirer, \ servant girl saw the
eagle, and gave chase. She dashed into
the tangled wood, and tried to keep
straight line, thinking the bird would do
the same. The path of wood was fully
mile and half through but the girl
made the run to the other edge Of it with
out feeling fatigue. Beyond the wood,
and between it aud the Cumberland Riv-
er, lay a patch of cleared ground, partly
marshy and partly corn field, full of old
stumps When the girl left the wood,
aud had clear view, she saw the eagle
in the air he seemed inclined to alight
with his burden somewhere in the neigh
borhood of the river. This gave her new
courage. 1t happened that there was
man hunting in the neighboring marshes,
and, just at the moment when the eagle
reached the ground with his burden, a shot
went off so dangerously near him that be
mounted into the air again, but this time
without the boy. The pursuing girl be
gan vigorous shouting as she ran, which
attracted the hunters attention, who see-
ing the eagle quite near him, and lady
rushing down the slope with streaming
hair and garments, and wildly shouting,
concluded at once that there was some
thing strange, and, perhaps, dreadful
in his immediate vicinity he also set up
vigorous haooling, and proceeded to re-
load his gun. The eagle soon became
aware of the formidable opposition he
would meet if he attempted to recapture
his prey, hovered over the spot mo-
ment, and then wheeled around in one
grand sweep across the river, and disap-
peared behind the shelving rock which
forms the opposite bank When the girl
came down to the hunter, she fell stiff,
and was not able even toindicate what was
the matter. The rough gallant then
heard the scream of child, and soon
found fine, healthy, rosy boy, with torn
clothes, otherwise uninjured, endeavoring
to rise upon his little feet The tears
streamed down his innocent cheeks, and
his face wore most piteous express
sion. The hunter took the baby 10 his
arms and carried it to the girl, who was
Cow recovered. She clasped it to her
bosom. covered it gith kisses, and wept
with joy. The parents in the mean time
had missed the little one, and had become
very uneasy. There was laughing and
crying enough when the wanderers re-
turned, aud the wonderful voyage OF the
little fellow was explained.

A couple Of idle fellows sirolled into a
collored church at Hartford, few even

before announcing his text, he leaned for

Bad cooking and hurried eating are

Bad cooking and hurried eating are uni
versally allowed to be the prime causes of
that terrible enemy of mankind, Indigestion,
or dyspepisa. Yet. for every poor man who
eats badly-cooked food hurrledly every day
of his life, with the dyspepsia, you will find
fifty rich people who eat food prepared by
scientific cooks, and sit at dinner by the
hour, the prey of that disease in its worst
forms. Who will solve this apparent riddle!
