EARLY RISING "A young farmer
fonnd he was getting reduced in
circumstances. He went to a friend
to ask advice. This friend, with a
grave face, said, Il know of "a charm
that will cure that; take this little
cup, and drink from it every morn
ing of the water you must get at
such a spring. But remember you
must draw it yourself. at five o clock
or the charm will be broken
The next morning the farmer
walked across his fields, for the
spling was at the farther end OF his
estate, and spying a neighbors cows
which had broken through the fence,
and were feeding on his pasture, he
turned them out and mended the
fence. The laborers were not yet
at work when they came lettering
along after their proper time, they
were startled at seeing their master
so early.
oh !' said he, I see how it is; il
comes of my getting up1n time
This early rising soon became a
pleasant habit; his walk and cup OF
water gave him appetite for break
fsst; and the people were, like him,
early at work He soon acknowl-
edged that the advice his friend had
given was as good as it was simple.

MOTHERS KISSES.
A kiss when wake in the morning,
A kiss when go to bed,
A kiss when 1 burn my fingers,
A kiss when bump my head.
A kiss when my bath is over,
a kiss " hen my bath begins;
My mamma is full of kisses,
AS full as nure is of pins.
A kiss when play with my rattle,
A kiss when pull her hair.
She covered me over with kisses
The day fell from the stair.
A kiss when give her trouble,
A kiss when 1 give herjo
There is nothing like mammals kisses
To her own little baby boy.

A School Boy Shoots Himself

BosToN, May 8, 1859
North Andover was the scens
of another sad tragedy at abou.

Frank Cheney, obout fifteen and q
half years old, the youngest of -four
i.I,tiren OF Mr. A L. Cheney, the
zee -er of variety store near til,
machine-shop, committed suicide by
shooting himself. He had recent,
commenced attending the High
School, but did not like the school,
and left it on Friday last. Since
that time he had told one of his
chums that his mind was made up,
and that he should not attend that
school again. His parents did not
sympathize with him in his reluc
tance To go to school, and his faith
er informed him that he must re-
turn this morning and ask forgive
ness OF the teacher for lea, ing.
About 8 o'clock one of his sis
t-ls, who also attends the school,
Id him it was time to get ready
and he went to his room for that
purpose, as she supposed. AS he
remained longer than anticipated,
~lis sister went to his room and
found the door fastened. She cali
ed the father, who burst open the
door, and found his son lying dead
On the floor. He had used two
pistols to accomplish his purpose,
aud apparently had discharged them
both at the same time. The bullet
rom one, small pistol, had enter
ed his right temple while a bullet
from a revolver, which he had dis
charged with his left hand, had
penetrated his heart. Either wound
would have caused instant death

probably prevented the discharges

Is thus announced in q Washington

Private adVices from Tennessee,

belief that ex-President JohnSon's

On its editorial page the Tribune
makes this fippant comment on the
news:
Mournful intelligence comes to US

preventing the return Of Mr.. Andrew

are said to be diminishing. 1t Is

which we were moved at the first
hint of the coming danger that now
looms large and solemn before us.
We recommend that the very first
act Of the very first day of the next
session OF the Senate be to order the
adoption OF the one.minuLe rule, with
the purchase of q large supply of

AN APPEAL no THE Ray

=, 10 "A ONET. e. ID q
The following from the New York
Herald is worth the consideration Of
the people. The predisposition of the
administration to thrust the bayon-
ct between the people and their rights
Is not the least alarming feature of the
times:
military here, military there,
military everywhere seems to be the
order of things. A local judge cannot
make q decision involving a question
Of State authority over q prisoner
hat we have the face of a military
demonstration, and that, too, by
order of the President of the United
States. The military satIaps of the
South are ever present and put their
hands or rather their words, into all
the political aud social affairs OF the
people. Ore denies this way to-day
and another that way to- morrow, and
the unfortunate Southerners, wheth
er they have gone through the process
OF reconstruction or not, are kept In
= state of fermentation and dIsorgan-
lzation. Everybody, as consequence,
appeals to the military. We take
the latest news from Virginia as an
example OF what is occurring In other
parts OF the South under this system
OF military rule. In the news from
Richmond iT is said: Accounts
have been received at HEADQUARTERS
of riots and disturbances between
the whites aud blacks In various
portions of the state. Several parties
have been killed during the week,
A negro was shot yesterday in a riot
at Heathvilie by a white mob. A
sailor was arrested by the military
commissioner, but the citizens the
same night released him from the
Jail. A white man named Left muir
dered 3 deputy constable in Brun-
sWlck, on Thursday, who was trying
TO arrest him. General Candy has
sent detachmentS of troops to the
several counties where these acts of
violence have been committed -
The Government authorities will say,
probably, thst these disturbances
show the necessity OF military action.
But 1t Is the military government
over the South, and its incessant
meddling with the local affairs ofthe
people which causes this disorder.
Let the Southerners govern them
selves, and let the civil law be sup
reme, ana their VIII be peace. Under
the existing state of things, both the
Government and the people will be
imbued with the military idea. It
is high time that the President,
Congress, and all the subordinate
officers should divest their minds of
this idea, and restore eself-government
and the civil law to the people"
When asks an exchange, are we to
get rid OF this reign of bayonets?
When Is the military to be brought
again into subordination to the civil
authorities? When is isarbitrarypower
to give peace to the influences of a
well-defned popular Judgement in
the government of the people? Not
while the Radical party is In power.
