They WoN'r TROUBLE You LoNia.-

They WoN'T TROUBLE You LoNa.-
Children grow up-nothing grows SO fast
as children. 1t was but yesterday, and
that lad playing with tops, a buoyant boy.
He is man and gone now. There is no
more childhood for him or for us. Life
has claimed him. When a beginning is
made it is like ravclling a stocking, stitch
by stitch gives way until all is gone. The
house has not child in it-tbere is ne
more noise in the hall-boys rushing pell-
nell: it is very orderly now. There are
now no more skates, sleds, balls or strings
left scattered about. Things are neat
now. There is no delay tor sleepy folks
there is no longer any task before you lie
down of looking after the children and
tucking up the bed clothes. There are
no disputes to settle, nobody to get off to
school, no complaint, no opportunities for
impossible things, no rips To- mend, no
fingers TO tie up, no faces to be washed, or
collars to be arranged There was never
such peace in the house! 1t would sound
like music TO have some feet to clatter
down the front stairs Oh, for some chill
dren's noise! What used to all us, that
we were hushing their loud laugh, check
ing their noisy trolic, and reproving their
slamming and banging the doors.
We wish our ncighbors world only lend
US an urchin or two, to make little
noise on these premises. A home with
out children IL is like Il lantern and no
candle; u garden and no flowers; a brook
and no water gushing and gurgling
through its channel.
We want to be tried, to be vexed, to
be run over; to hear children at work
with all its varieties. During the secular
days this is enough marked. But it is
the Sabbath that puts our homes to the
proof That is the Christian family day.
The intervals ofpubtic worship arc spaces
of peace. The family seems made up
that day. The children are at home, and
you can lay your hands upon their heads:
They seem to recognize the greater and
lesser love@to God and to friends. The
house is peaceful, but not still. There is
a silence that echoes in the ear. There
is TOO much room at the table, too much
at the hearth: The bedrooms are world
too orderly. There is 100 much leisure
and too little care. Alas what mean
these things? 1ssomebody growing old?
Are these signs and tokens? Is life wan
ing?

HOMESTEAD DEc1sIoNs.-Some three

HOMESTEAD DEc1sIoNs.-Some three
weeks, or more, ago, one Christian Meyer
absconded from this town taking with
him some valuable property, and leaving
various ones of his creditors here unpaid.
Last week the wife of the said Meyer
prepared to follow him, and had all their
household goods hauled to the depot for
transportation in a freight train. One of
the creditors of Meyer took out an at
tachment under the Act of 1868. The
furniture was attached in the freight cars
married to atlanta, Georgia.
The wife of the absent debtor comes
before Judge Thomas and asks for an or
der dissolving the attachment on the
ground that the articles are exempt from
attachment, levy or sale under the Con-
stitution and ''rhe Act to determine and
perpetuate the homestead" The Judge
grants the order; and the next day the
lucky wife takes the cars with her furni
ture and other household goods to join
her husband in Atlanta, Ca, and set up q
homestead there.
Another case. A Bill is filed by an
Administrator TO marshall the assets of
his intestate's estate for the payment of
debts A minor son, l6, years of age,
answers by guardian ad Item and claims
that homestead should be admeasurcd
to him out of the lands of his deceased
father. He is not the head of a family
has no one but himself to occupy the
homestead if laid off, The accounting of
the Administrator has not yet been had /;
the debts against the said estate have not
yet been proven the Court, therefore,
could not know that the lands of the in
testate would have 10 be sold for the pay
ment of debts. Yet the Court grants an
order for the homestead to bo admeasured
to said minor son.
Now it is plain to us that these decis-
ions are very far beyond either the letter
or spirit of the Homestead Act. And it
is because we regard the homestead cx-
cmption as a wise law, and wish to see it
established and acquicsced in by all, credi-
tors as we'll as debtors, that we regret to
see such stretching decisions, as will nec-
essarily have the effect to bring the law
itself into disreputc. Tho approaching
session of tho Legislature, together with
the action of the Supreme Court, will, we
havc no doubt, set at rest the many points
of doubt now involved in the construc-
ton Of this benefcent law.-Chester Re-
porter.

property, as we'll as present, subjected to
it's payment. Where future acquisitions
are attempted to be exonerated, and the
discharge extended to the debt or con-
tract itself, if done by States, it must not
as here. apply to past contracts, or it is
held to impair their obligation" This
case, then, goes to the extent OF not only
not allowing an exemption to be made of
property which debtor oDns, but not
even what he may hereafter acquire, as
affecting "past contracts" This extract
from the case will be found in Howard,
page 32S, where the court sustains itself
by ten authorities.

DIs1NFECTANTs.-Som one says that
noxious ef7uvia are absorbed in an in
credibly short space of time, if two or
three onions are cut in thin slices, and put
on plate, to be renewed every six hours.
This is Just as true as that the smarting
from the scratch of pin becomes instan-
taneously unfclt if the person is knocked
down. Tho only safe, bealthful and etfec-
dual method OF keeping sick room
"sweet," is to keep every thing scrupulous-
ly dry and clean; instantly remove every
article of clothing or bedding which has
an atom of dampness or moisture upon it; 4;

ouent and free admission OF tho pure and
the fresh air from out doors. This should
be done every two or three hours during
the twenty.foar. 1t is the pure air that
sick people want, not an atmosphere
loaded with tho fumes of onions, for in a
pint of air they displaco just as many
particles of fresh air as would burpt SUI
gar, cologne-water, or the sulphuretred
Rvdroren of the clubhouse for DO it re-
membered, it is not the odor which does
the mischief so much as the deficiency OF
nutritious particles of the atmosphere
which it takes the place Of. Tho greatest
humanity we can show the sick is to
secure to them the most important rcmo-
dies ever rknown--to w.t. quietncss, clean
Illness, and pure air. These alone would
cure threo-fourths of all our diseases, bat
wo will not use them; yet they are every
where attainable, and cost nothing but u
little trouble.-HaWS Journal Of Health.

TnE LITTLE GIRL AND THE K1NG.-The
King of Prussia, while visiting a village
in his land, was welcomed by the school
children of the place After their speaker
had made speech tor them he thanked
them. Then taking IN orange from
plate, he asked: ''To what kingdom does
this belong?"
"The vegetable kingdom. sire," replied
the little girl.
The king took gold coin from his
pocket, and holding it up, asked, And TO
what Kingdom does this belong?"
ITO the mineral kingdom" said the
Q "And to what kingdom do I belong,
then ~ asked the king.
The little girl colorcd deeply. for she
did not Ike TO say "the animal kingdom"
as he thought she would, lest his majesty
should be offended. Just .hen it flashed
into her mind that "God made man i'm
His own image" and looking up with a
Frightening eye, she said: "Fo Gods
kingdom, sire"
The king was deeply moved. A tear
stood in his eye. He placed his hand ON
the child's head, and said, most devoutly ):
Good grant that may be accounted
worthy of that kingdom p
Thus did the words of a child move the
heart of king. Little children will
learn from this that even their words
may do both good and harm. A pert
word from a child may wound the heart
of a mothcr;a loving one may mako it
glad. My little children, let your words
be kind, true and right.

The Dismal Swamp, on the boundary

= The Dismal Swamp, on the boundary
line of Virginia and North Carolina, is
every year affected by the drought, so
that the surface takes fire and burns until
extinguishcd by autumn. rains. This
year, on account Of the long continued
dry weather, the confagration is of un-
precedented magnitude, and has already
burned for n distance of 16 miles, from
northwest to southeast. Several fine
farms have been burned out and on fields
formerly rich with crops nothing is to be
seen but acres of ashes, tho pits in some
cases being Is feet deep. The surface of
the swamp consists of decomposed vege-
table matter, held together by the roots
of water plants. Though slight shower
may extnguish the confagration on the
surface, yet in many instances the fire con-
tinues to burn underneath, and thus forms
extensive holows. The bed of Drum
mond Lake, in the centre of the Swamp,
is supposed to have been burned out in
this way, many hundred of years ago.

THE RADICAL PARrY.-Some one has
drawn up very correct bill of indict-
ment against the Radical party. 1t is
one that can be sustained by facts and
figures. In this bill of indictment the
Radical leaders stand charged with-cal-
ling themselves Unionists. they have con-
summated and maintained disunion. Af-
fecting economy, they have given us the
costliest government on earth. Prating
of virtue, they made it the NEST cor
rupt. Clamoring for equal rights, they
have prescribed more people than any
monarchy in Christendom. Invoking
freedom, they established and maintained
the darkest despotism in eleven States.
Processing toleration, they proclaim ac-
ceptance Of their creed the alternative OF
ostracism and disfranchisement. Howl
ing about purifying the government, they
havo made dishonesty and office-holding
identical. Preaching principle, they sub
sist by passion and prejudice. Deploring
caste, they elevate blacks above the whites
in two-thirds of the country. Magnifying
loyalty, they trampfe out every worthy
principle of our system. Claiming states
mansIip, their officials are either conspira-
tors or thieves. LaudinC independence,
they are the servife slaves of party eau
Gus. Pretending to invite criticism, they
stife freedom Of debate in Congress, by
partizan rule, ard drown it elsewhere in
blood. Insisting upon peace, they prolong
the old strife to stir up new one.-Sau.

The Great are DYING,

Recently three distinguished men have
passed away-Hon. John Bell, of Tennes.
see, Senator Fessenden, and General
Rawlins. Secretary of War. The latter
is said to have been the only friend of the
South in Grants Cabinet. Now that he
is gone, the duty of trusting to God for
protection is more apparent. "Vain ls
the help that man supplies" at best, but
when those that are friendly are taken
out of the way, then we must say With
the Psalmist:
"GOd is our refuge and otr strength,
In straits present aid"
Gen. Sherman is the successor of Raw
lins, pro. tem., and if he is disposed to
make amends for the evils he has inflicted
on US, the way is open let him show 3
friendly hand.
Senator Fessenden showed himself Il
man in the impeachment of Andy john
son. Doubtless he had very poor opin.
ion of A. j., but he had too good an opin-
ion of his own character and uprightness
to be influenced by party considerations
to give an unrighteous decision against
the President. He will be horored for
his stand in this matter, while those who
could stoop to mean act, TO carry party
schemes, will be contemned by posterity,
if not by the present generation.
If Mr.. Bell had been the only candidate
in opposition to Mr.. Lincoln for the Presi-
dency, Lincoln would have been defeated,
and the war with all its horrors, would
have been postponed indefinitely. But it.
appears to have been so ordered that three
candidates were to take the field and
weaken each other, and SO open the way
for Lincoln and the war and the ultimate
overthrow of the Government.
But let US hope for the best. Though
the great men die, God lives and reigns,
and may defeat the schemes of the weak
and Wicked. R. Presbyterian.
