when you're Down.

What legions of friends" always bless us
When golden success lights our way!
How they smile as they softly address us
So cordial, good-humOred and gay.
But oh when the sun of prosperity
Has set-then how quickly they frown
And cry out in tones Of severity,
.sKick the man, don't yousee he is down p
What though, when you knew not sorrow,
Your heart was as open as day,
And your friends" when they wanted to
borrow,
You'd oblige--and ne'er ask them to''pay''
What though not soul you e'er sighted.
As you wandered about through the town;
Your friends become very near sighted,
And 1on't seem to see you when down.
When you're up" you are loudly exalted,
And traders all sing out your praise
When you're down you have greatly default
ed,
And they really 'don't fancy your ways"
Your style was 'tip-top" when you'd money
So sings every sucker and clown,
But now It's exceedingly funny,
Things are altered because you are down."
Oh, give me the heart that forever
Is true from the worlds selfish rust,
And the soul whose high noble endeavor
Is to raise fallen man from the dust
And when in adyersity's ocean
A victim is likely to drown, Ea-
All hail to the friend whose devotion
Will lift up a man when he's down"

has been intriguing in Spanish
affairs. He has kept his plottings
concealed from every court in
Europe; and he has, with the aid
of Prim, defeated every other can
didate for the Spanish throne
He has done this knowing it to
be against the law OF Europe
which he has on other occasions
made his guide; he is, therefore,
"a clandestine violator of public
law. s
All his appeals to the pride OF
German nations, are but attempts
to shift the issue from points upon
which be cannot sustain himself,
togronnd which will enable him
to mask the real question BY the
patriotic effervescence of Germa-
my. We have no advice to give
the German people in fatherland.
If they will accept annexation to
Prussia as the proper means for
the unifcation of Germany, we
shall interpose no objection,
though we may not be able to see
why the Germans should be so
overfowingof Germanism, and SO
bitter against France at a time
when they are about modifying
their own ancient federal institu-
tions and establishing govern
ment at Berlin, whose standard
is directly imported from Paris.
The haters of Frenchmen seem
strangely in love with French in.
stitutions.
To those Germans who are cit.
izens of the United States, born
as they may have been in Germa-
ny, we have a word to say as
their fellow citizen; we say it is
not right in them to try to force
this country on what they call
their side of the question. 1t is
the duty of the United States to
preserve their freedom of action.
We have ever welcomed the free
immigrants to these shores, but if
every people that comes among
us brings US also foreign complica:

pendence. -

@ During the past so year

N During the past so years,
(says the late DR.. Geo. III. Dadd)
much of the live stock of the coun-
try has been most outrageously
over~doctored and over dosed.
Many people supposing that by
converting a sick horses stomach
into sort of apotheeary's shop
and grocery store the sooner would
he get well, when the very reverse
is the case. Horses and Cattle
require but little medicine in most
cases, but this should always be
of an alterdttUe yet SaadtiUe char
acter. The best dlter0tire and Gu
ratiye remedies for Horses and
Cattle ever known to science, con-
tanning no antimony or other
agent that can possibly have a bad
effect on the systemsof any living
creature, yet calculated TO be pot
ent in the cure of any disease,
are the justly celebrated GAMER
ICAN MAGNETIC EQUINE
REMEDIES prepared by LORD,
SMITH & Co, Sc Wabash avenue,
Chicago, who also publish valua-
BILE "Treatise" on the causes,
symptoms and treatment of all
diseases in Horses and Cattle, and
will furnish a copy gratis to any
owner of live stock.
Each package of these Rene
dies bears the certificate" of DR..
Dadd, who used them extensively
In his practice.

The French ..Demand. >

The word demand, which occur:
so frequently in the translations of
the late French and Prussian cor.
respondence, is incorrect. The
French word demand signifies TO
ask, and has not the imperative
meaning which attaches to it In
English. Read tasks" where the
word "demand" occurs, and the
French notes are stripped of that
.'arrogance" with which the enemies
of Fr=nce are accusing her. Once
during General Jackson's Presi-
dsney a diplomatic note Was re-
ceived from the French government,
through its envoy in Washington,
regarding certain claims held by
French citizens against the United
States. The translator who rendered
the no.e English for the old General,
who every body knows was no French
scholar, fell into the same error, and
instead Of France asks the imme-
diate attention Of the government
OF the United States, etc., it read,
.Franoe demands, etc. . Old Hick-
ory grew liyid. "Demands, does
sbe7" be shouted, "by the eternal,
let's see her get i'll" and he brought
his fist down on the table with a
thump that made the pens and ink
stands jingle. Luckily there was
present gentleman from New Or
leans (whO in after years was Pro-
lessor Of Languages in the academy
Of the present Judge Barbour Lew
is, on Dauphine Way, the Mobile,
and whe related the story to a French
class, Of which the writer was men,
Der, eighteen years ago. This
gentleman took the original note
and gave the proper translation Of
the word. "0h," said Jackson,
'that alters the case. What France
asks is different thing from what
'he demands. .

To Train a Child.

a little tract, issued Tor dlStrl
button by the Ladies Sanitary
Association of London, gives these
wise suggestions for the nurture of
children in health Of body and
spirit:
l. Never refuse a thing if it is
harmless but give it, if you are
able, without delay.
g. Never give anything because
it is cried for, that you have re-
fused when asked for.
3. Be careful to observe real
illness, and avoid causing bodily
uneasiness from overlooking or
cold or unwholesome food, such as
candy, sugar-plums, sour fruit, or
giving buns or cakes to quiet the
child.
4. Avoid false promises. They
are sure to be found out false.
IS. Avoid threats of all kinds.
If believed, they make children
timid, and injure both mind and
body; if not believed, they are
useless. Such threats as bogie,
policeman and black-man are sure
to be found out to be false if the
child lives.
6. Never say anything untrue
to a child. - 81 '.es- -
s7 Do not wreak your own bad
temper, or visit your own feelings
of fatigue and trouble, on chill
dren, by being severe with them,
or by saying, "You shan't have it,
or, 81 won't give it to you" when
there is no reason for refusal, ex-
cept that you are yourself tired,
orin trouble, or out of sorts.
: s. Avoid giving orders. such as
"Stand STILL" Go on" "Hold
your tongue" "Put it down." ETC.,
unless you really mean that they
should be obeyed; and the fewer
orders you give the better Lab
9. Never give too much pity,
nor yet be severe and unkind
when a child tumbles down or
hurts itself. ; sses.s. s.s,-...
TO, Do not worry child. Let
it alone, and Ietit live in peace.
II. Teach it early. to play a.
lone and amuse itself. 'sa
To sum up all in a few
words, try to feel like child; to
enter into its griefs and Joys, its
trials and triumphs.
To these rules one more might
be added: Never exact a prom
ise from a child, to do or abstain
from doing anything. Make
known your wishes or commands,
as the case may be, and make that
suffice. 4 -. t.-.r. @s1 -

Boys. Read This.

| A New York paper says: A
flew years ago a large drug firm il
this city advertised for boy
Next day the store was throngec
with applicants, among them a
iqueer-looking little fellow, accom-
panied by a woman, who proved
10 be his aunt, in lieu of faithless
lparents, by whom he had been
abandoned. Looking at this lit
tie waif, the merchant in the store
promptly said: "Can't take him
in, places all full; besides, he is
small" " 81 know he is small,
said the woman, "but he is will.
ing and faithful" There was a
twinkle in the boys eyes which
made the merchant think again.
A partner in the firm volunteered
the remark that he, "didn't see
what they wanted with such a
boy-he wasn't bigger than a

tation the boy was set to work.
A few days latera call was made
ON the boys in store for some one
to stay all night. The prompt
response of the little fellow con-
trasted well with the reluctance
of others. In the middle of the
night the merchant looked in to
see if all was right in the store,
and presently discovered his youth
ful protege scissoring labels
"What are you doing ?" said he;

Irascible.

! Notwithstanding the Nashville
Banner has declared itself in favor
of State Convention, it cannot
help but show its utter dislike to
every thing Democratic. If il
would suffer an humble "country
contemporary" to whisper a word,
it would speak in its ear-Let the
Democratic party alone. No good
can result from Its continual throw
ing Of dirt at old Democrats. Be-
sides, it shows very bad spirit,
not called for even by a love of
retaliation, as no one is fighting the
old Wing party. Such pet names
as the Banner applies to the Dem
ocracy, as 'Bourbons ofthe South" I"
"irreconcilables," ETC., show a bit
terness which at this time would
be betteri imagined than exhibited.
