VARIETIES OF BAD TEMPER. - Bad temper
is ofteper the result OF unhappy ciroumstan-
qos than OF an unhappy organization. 1t
frequently, however, has a physical cause,
and u peevish child often needs dieting more
than correcting A. child of active temper
ament, sensitive feeling, and eager purpose,
is more likely to meet with constant jars aud
rubs than a dull, pensive child ;. and, if he
is of an open nature, his inward irritation is
shown in bursts OF passion. If you repress
these ebullitions by scolding and puni 7hment
you only increase the evil by changing pas
sion into sulkiness. Never fear to spoil your
children by making them too happy Hap
piness is the atmosphere in which all good
affections grow.

o. not O. er these, the true and brave,
Whose mangled forms, in many grave,
Lie low where the grass and wild flowers spr
Shall dark oblivion spread her wing
Green osiers grow,
Red roses blow,
And garland the heroes below!
Ye everlasting pines, whose wall,
With mournful dirges, swells the gale,
Sweep your high harps, with requiem grand,
Who gave their life,
In bloody strife
Their memory ours. with glory rife!
What though oppression rule the soil,
They might not view the victor's spoil
Beside their shivered sword they lie,
Unheeding meath a radiant sky;
Calm let them sleep!
IT'S ours to weep,
For Joys we lost for woes we reap.
Our blood-stained banner, rent and lost,
Once waving DER dauntess hest!
Though wet thy folds with freedoms tears,
Thy splendor lives in coming years.
When mighty mind
Shall sway mankind.
And Right it's equilibrium lind.
But. now, in double night we dwell.
For that lost cause and tLose who fell,
Our yearning bosoms still o'erflow,
In pangs of deep though silent woe;
But God isJust,
And, in this trust,
We mournful leave your sacred dust.
Scathed, smitten, weary land, be still,
Abide the scourge while Heaven so Will;
Hope on, and wait the coming day,
Thou not yet seen and far away,
When dawning light
Shall scatter night,
And Gods strong arm enforce theright.
Though Il ouldering ruin grimly sways
The happy halls Of other days,
Though aged sires. in slow decline,
Lament the downfall of their line,
Each hero son,
need hath won.
Reyered till life's last sands shall run.
But now, and through all coming time,
Our countrymen shall live blime,
In that heart-memory so dear
To honor's high and bright career,
And long be shed,
Above their bed,
Tears for our loved Confederate Dead!

VALUE OF NEWSPAPERS To FARMERs.-
Clarke Bell, Esq a few days since, gave to
the farmers of Steuben county al address at
their Agricultural Fair, which was full of
matter Of Immediate and practical interest to
his hearers. One passage of bis address is
worth copying here, and we give It, as fol-
lows;
No one can too highly estimate the value
of good newspaper i'll a family Of children,
aud | am Of the opinion that if one is taken
constantly in family that it will be impos
sible for the children to come up without be-
ing intelligent upon all the current questions
of the day.
Every household should bring in the
newspaper, then, as an absolute and indis-
pensable Il cessity.
The farmer should of ali other men, take
good reliable agricultural paper. defy
any farmer to try it for a year and then be
able to say il has noe paid and been in every
way for his good -,Sauanmoh Reputlecons

TEACH Your Boy TRADE An article
which we cut from one of our exchanges
referring to this subject, says:
'tOf 1916 prisoners in the penltcntiarles
of thirty States in 1867, according to the
report Of the Prison Association just issued
II per cent more than three quarters, had
not learned trade. Here is text from
which Dr. Franklin could have preached
forcible sermon to parents.
"The time was when it was not thought
reputable for parents to leave their children
without trades-unless they belonged to the
class of gentry In France, before the re-
volution-the one of 17S9-this provldcnt
sentiment Or instinct WAS SO strong thai even
the children of the noble were in some cases
taught light bandicraft, and when the
storm of the Reign of Terror cane, and they
we're expelled from their homes and deprived
of their fortunes, many Of them subsisted by
the trades ther had AMUSED themselves with
in more prosperous days.
"A man who has a good trade has an in
dependence lie has need only 10 he honest
and dlignent to secure Impotence
Bread and butter are SURF for him wherever
he is. He is sure always of higher wages
than be Who has 20 trade. and If his genius
and enterprise lead him into some other call
ing, il is always satisfaction TO know that
in case Of misfortune lie can return to his
trade BE has that at any rate; failure In
business cannot deprive him Oft; bis specua-
tons may break down, but he has an an
chor to leeward, as the sailors say; his sub
sisence and that of his family are sure.
''Iu this country where fortunes quickly
gained, are also quickly lost. 1t ia still more
necessary and prudent that every young man
should learn useful trade. aud learn it
thoroughly. No mans future is 50 secure
here. but that he would do wisely to have
his boys--and his girls, too, for that matter
learn trade.

six or eight inches wide, to it for uprights.
The plank base should be beyeled enough to
make the uprights some fifteen inches apart

tween these, and the upper end folded over
the ends of the sholders two or three inches.
1t will be held firm and in convenient po-

To MAKE TEA Mrs. H., Jr.. of North

pot by pouring boiling water into it; pour
this out, and put into the pot as much good
tea as you wish to use then pour in boiling
water enough to completely cover tho tea so
as to wet it thoroughly, Set the pot on the
cooking table, if that is handy Git need not
be set on anything that IS hot), and in five
minutes pour on boiling water enough for
the first cups; and pour out Immediately.
If second cup Or cups are wished, and tea
enough has been put into the pot, add boil
ing water in sufficient quantity. This rule
applies particularly to japanese and hyson
teas. do not know that black tea would
be as good made in this way as if it were
stepped longer, That may depend on taste. p
