Don't expect too much Of them; it has
taken forty years, it may be, to make you
what youare, with all of your experience;
and | will dare say you are faulty being
at best. Above all don't expect judg-
ment in n child or patience under trials.
Sympathize in their mistakes and trouble;
don't ridicule them. Remember not to
measure child's trials by your standard.
"As one whom his mother comforteth,"
says the inspired writer, and beautifully
does he convey to us the deep. faithful
love that ought to be found in every wo-
mans beart. the unfailing sympathy with
all her children's gricfs. When ] see
children going TO their father for comfort,
AN sure there is something wrong with
their mother.
1t The memory Of their childhood be
as bright as YOU can make them. Grant
them every innocent pleasure in your
power. We have often felt our temper
rise To see ho. carelesslY their little plans
were thwarted by older persons, when
little trouble on their part would have
given the child pleasure, the memory of
which would last Il lifetime. Lastly, do
not think Il child hopeless because it be-
trays some very bad habits. We have
known children that seemed to have been
born thieves and liars, so early did they
exhibit these undesirable traits, yet we
have lived 10 see those same children be-
come noble men and women, and orna-
ments to society. We must conies5 they
had wise, sifectionate parents. And what
ever else YOU may be compelled to deny
your child by your circumstances in life,
give il WHAT it most values, plenty Of love.

LOTS OF MONEY,
AND WHAT IT ALL AMOUNTED TO.

~
1t is 4 common notion among the poor
and struggling that it is fine thing to be
rich; and if wealth is not happiness, 1t Is
very near approach to it. Doubtless II
is good thing to be rich, if the rich
person knows the value of riches, and
turns them to proper account, for his
own advantage, and that OF his family, his
friends, and his fellow creatures. Doubt
less. it is very sad thing TO be poor, or
endure cold, hunger, aud nakedness; OF
IN owe debts which one cannot pay.
But when the mass of people come to the
conclusion that, as rule the rich are
much happier than the poor and that the
poor have no compensation Tor the hard
ship of their lot, and the rich no drawbacks
On the luxury of theirs-an error OF serious
consequence to their own weil-being
takes possession of their minds, and leads
TO that worst kind Of idolatry, money
worship and that worst kind of heresy,
that it is everybody's duty to get rich.
In the course of not very long life ]
have known the histories of many persons
who had, to use the common phrase, slots
of money''-money that they either
acquired by speculation, by industry, OF
successful commerce, or that they had
inherited from their ancestors. Out OF
seven such people whose histories | knew,
five were either very miserable in their
minds, disappointed in their hopes, or
would gladly have exchanged all their
money for something that poor people
had, but which unkind fate had not be-
slowed upon them. The first Of these
little histories is that of a gentleman who
had acquired million of money, at least,
by successful commerce, and was able TO
retire in the prime Of life and strength,
and marry for love, young lady, well
born, accomplished, and beautiful. The
world was fair before them. They had a
town house, country house, and shoot
ing box in the Highlands. They had a
large library, and picture gallery,
carriages and horses, and yacht. They
had troops of friends, and the respect OF

Fire Cents Worih Of Orange Peel

A man from the country invested I've
cents in the purchase of an orlnse, aHt
preparatory to getting himself outside O.
il. threw the peel upon The sidewalk.
Soon after young woman came along
slipped and broke her leg. The woman
was to have been married the next day,
but wasn't. The man who was TO marry
her had come from St. Paul, Mimi, and
was obliged to return on account OF
business. to wait the recovery oi the girl.
On his way back he unfortunately took q
train on the Erie railroad which ran oil
Of the track, and his shoulder blade was
broken, forcing him to stop at Dunkirk
for repairs. The Travellers Insurance
Company, in which he was insured, had
to pay $25 in weekly instalments before
he recovered. On getting back to ST.
Paul he found that his forced absence had
upset business arrangement which ne
had expected to complete, at pecunlafy
loss to him of 5000.
Meantime the injured girl suffered 4
relapse, which so enfecbled her health
that her marriage was delayed, and he
finally broke the engagement and married
q widow in Minnesota with four small
children. This so worked uponthe mind
of the girl, that she is now in the insane
hospital in Middletown. Her father
outraged by the conduct of the young
man, broughta suit for breach ofpromlse,
and has just received $4,000. The
anxiety and expense of the whole affair
thus far has been enormous, as anybody
can see. Similar cases are likely to occur,
as long as people will persist in throwing

should rank among the first in the coun-
try in which he resided. He loved wealth
for lis own sake and with love beyond
all reason. Though q clear fortune OF
two hundred thousand pounds, or even
half the money. would seem to most men
something 10 be grateful for, and TO be
well enjoyed and well secured, it did not
seem so to this greedy man, who had
made money his idol, and the only object
of reverence in the world. His brain was
weakened by the hard work expended in
making and taking care ofthis large, mag

their presence, lest he should do himself

was-an owner not of hundreds OF thous-

happiness arose, not from his real wealth.
but from his imaginary poverty. At the
close Of long, honorable, and useful life,
he took il into his head that the world had
entered into conspiracy to reduce him

days in the workhouse. ltwas in vain 10

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, September 2S.-Itis stated
that the Cuban privateer, Hornet, which
sailed some time ago from the British
Provinces, where she was detained for a
time, 10 on her way to Cuba, if she has
not already arrived there. It is the in
tention of her commander to keep q
sharp lockout for Spanish transports
carrying troops to the island, and also
for the regular steamers plying between
Havana and Spain and carrying the
Spanish flag.
The Hornet is fast sailing vessel and
can probably get away from Spanish
msn-of.war if she cannot fight. 1t is
thought by the Cubans here that the
Hornet can engage most of the vessels in
the Spanish service, with two or three
exceptions. She will take her prizes
into Mexican ports, that country having
acknowledged the belligereut rights Of
the Cubans.
Senior Lemus, the Cuban Minister,
states that there is not q single sentence
in the Cuban Constitution which contem-
plates anything but absolute and une-
quivocsl freedom to the slaves Of the
island. The Republican leaders long be-
fore the adoption Of the Constitution
emancipated their slaves, and wherever
the army Of the Republic marches, free
