A q zen of Nashville, the nature of
whose business requires occasional visits
to the country. tells us of a widowed
mother and her seven children living on
Trace creek, in Humphreys county. SO stu
ated as TO entitle them TO the sympathy and
assistance of patriotic and benevolent
people. The husband and father of this
flmily was a soldier in the Confederate
army and was killed at the battle Of Chira-
manga His family was left in very desti-
tute circumstances, and have since been
entirely dependent upon the exertions Of
the widowed mother for support. Living
IN a rented house, and having seven chill
dren, neither of whom is old enough TO
render her much assistance, 10 provide for,
the mother had a difficult and laborious
task to perform; but she has labOred dill
gently and uncomplainingly to make living
for her husband. Persons who know the
widow and the difficult circumstances of
her situation, speak of her as an industri-
Gus and worthy woman. Her neighbors
are able to render but little. if any, pecUni-
airy assistance, aud she has no kindred TO
whom she can apply for help. We have
stated the case as represented to us in the
hope that it may be brought to the atten-
neyolent and praisevorthy work of provid-
ing for the support and education Of child
rem whose fathers lost their lives in defense
Of the South. The memory Of the lost
cause" is, and viii ever remain sacred
10 the hearts Of our our people, and it is
therefore with pleasure that we witness
and chronicle every well organized and
directed effort to provide for the mainten-
ance and education of the orphaned chill
dren Of Confederate soldiers. Much has
been done in this direction and much vet
remains to do. May the efforts of the
benevolent and patriotic men and women
engaged in this commendGble work be re-
warded by an abundance Of the good re-
suits they seek to accomplish.
The circumstances of the case to which
we have here specially referred, are well
known to Capt. Cunningham, from whom
further information can be obtained by
those disposed to assist worthy woman
and her now almost helpless children.

all! No range of poets, no essayists,

Indians MHst Work.

In devising ways and means for the
support of our North American Indi-
ans, who are now q charge upon the
nation, would it not be as well to initi-
ate them into the mysteries Of civll1-
Eed life? Instead Of treating them as
paupers and children, doling out sup
plies in dribblets to support them in
idleness and dissipation, why not
teach them to work? They are able
bodied, and can plow and plant as
well as others. They can also reap,
thrash, and save their grain. Instead
of eking out a precarlous subsistence
on wild game-which is becoming
less and less every year-why not
leach them to grow beef and mutton?
a good substitute for buffalo and veni-
son. Teach them to make gardens,
plant trees, grow fruits. Let squaws
learn to spin, weave, and make such
garments as are more in harmony
with civilized usage. Instead of huts,
tents, and wigwams, let them build
houses. In short, settle them on
lands, giving each family a hundred
acres, with tools to work il and seeds
TO plant 1t; then require the Indian
to live on the land so given, or to
show that he has other substantial
means OF support. Require him to
submit to the same rules and regula-
tiOns that We, as citizens, are subser-
Went to. Then put him in the way
of education, so that he may be capa-
bic of transacting business. When
sufficiently intelligent, let him be-
come citizen and vote. This done,
there would be no more occasion for
annuities; no more maurading parties,
or robberies and masaeres. We shall
never have peace until we have civ
ilization. A lazy, ignorant, whisky
drinking, tObaecO-ehewing and smok-
ing Indian is no better than a white
Or black vagabond, and he should
be treated the same. He should be
set to work or shut up. Let our legis-
lators issue a new programme respect
ing the Indians and their manage
ment, and let the first point in it be
made clear to the redskins, and let
that point be, that they must settle
down and go to work. Either this or
ertinetioa will be their early fate

Young Men as Educators.

1t is a glorious privilege to be
Young man. If wisdom directs, there
is all the teaching of the past, all the
experience of fathers and teachers to
guide. A wise father points out the
wrecks he has made, and teaches his
boys to avoid the shoals and quick
sands on which he has made waste of
health, prospects or estate. The
buoyancy and elasticity of youth en-
able them to bear trouble better than
their elders; yet it is worth world
to young men TO be saved trouble, by
gathering wisdom from those who
have gone over the same ground, and
thus, in turn, becoming educators.
Your fast young man, what Is he
good for? To know the price of the
best champagne, and be judge of
cigars and whiskey; to be known as
a spendthrift and as the frequenter of
places of doubtful reputation; to boast
of sceptical female associations, and to
be in debt for board and washing; all
these accOmplishments-f TO know
how to stave off debtor is certainly
such-will SOW gray hairs, even if the
posseSsOr of the fine arts in rascalitY
ever lives to have gray hairs, which is
a very doubtful question. The young
man Of rectitude, OF high moral senti-
ment, who, knowing the right, dares
maintain it, is one of the finest sights
on earth. He becomes an educator
Fast young men cannot sneer him
down, cannot wipe him from the
social circle in the true sense of the
term; for his principles are immortal,
and his eTceksinr shall give him life
when the debduchees are tOttering in
the poor hOuse,-recipients of thealms
of a generous people.
Oh, how often have We seen dan
dies, fresh from the BARRIERS chair,
with airs of pretensiOn and the strut
of turkeys, who were redOlent with
the cant of the streets, and posted III
the sensational literature of the day,
walking by the side of some anato-
miZed figure in blue silk; and the
simpering, worth-nothing talk that
takes place would put young man of
solid sense out of cOnceit with the
false charms of life.
Young men, take warming; he wise,
take thought for the morrow; culti
vate ambition. Not 10 point to
have it diseased, but with healthy
manual exercise and clean thinking;
so shall you not only save your own
bodies and souls, but become a moral
force of public educatOrs.-E. King,

A MYsferI SnlIed.

A Methodist minister, who was
quaint in his manner, had a son who
was attending public school. Though
by no means deficient in natural abili-
", this son returned from school few
months since with report ofschOlar-
ship below the average.
"Well," said his father, "you've
fallen behind this month, have yOu?"
"Yes, SIR
"How did it happen?"
Don't know, sir"
The father knew, if the son did not.
He had observed a number Of dime
novels scattered about the house, but
had not thought it worth while to say
anything until fitting opportunity
should offer itself. 1
A basket of apples stood on the floor,
and he said, Empty out these apples
and take the basket and bring ito me
half full OF chips" Suspecting moth
ing, he obeyed.
"Put these apples back in the bas-
ket.n
''Put 'em in, 1 tell YOU"
"But, father, I can't"
do you expect to fill basket half
full of chips and then fill il with ap-
pies? You said you din't know why
you fell behind at school; and I will
tell you. Your mind is like that bas-
ket. 1t will not hold more than so
much. And there you've been the
past month filling it with dirt-dime
novelist" The boy turned on his heel,
whistled, and said:
iWhew! / see the point"

FOOTPRINTS Of Civilization One Hun
dred and Eighty Feet Below the
Surface of the Earth.
From the sullivan Union. /


One of the most singular and Won
derful discoveries of the age was made
in the Currysville coal mines, few
DAYS ago. At a depth of one hundred
and eighty feet, while the miners
were cutting through slate stone,
they discovered the petrified body of
a serpent. We examined this petriti-
cation, and can say, with truth, that
it is the finest specimen we ever saw
Unfortunately it was broken into
three pieces, and piece from near the
center is missing-peThaps thrown
out in silver of stone. A limb bad
evidently fallen across the serpent,
about eight or ten inches from the
head, and mashed the part under
meath flat, and, strange to say, even
this thin part was formed into solid
stone, and was taken out perfect. The
wrinkles in the body of the serpent,
in its writhing as if 10 extricate itself
from the stick that fell across it, were
as perfect and natural, as the day the
affair took place The head is shaped
like that of an eel, and the tail, from
indications. must have been supplied
with q broad fin, or flat, fieshy sub
stance, as a propeller. The eyes and
mouth can be distinctly traced, while
the body is covered with small sunk
en- spots, similar to those on a hog
skin, though not so small or numer-
Gus. This specimen is five feet three
inches long, and near ten inches
around the largest part OF the body;
/ In addition to this most singular
curiosity, perfectimpressions Ofleaves,
limbs, brush and other samples OF
vegetation were taken out at this enOr-
NOUS depth. Among these was a
/ beautiful impression of what is famil-
iarlv called snake weed, or fern, which
grows in almost every valley through
out the Western country.
The most singular specimen is yet
to be described, and, in attempting to
communicate the fact to our readers,
we feel as though the history to our
earth is Just as much a mystery to the
present generation as it was to those
who inhabited it before the fiOOd-ihe
"half having not yet been told" The
sole of shoe. or sandal, was taken
out in a complete state of petrifactiOn.
The heel is almost perfect, and the
impression of something in the heel,
resembling taeks or nails, is plain and
distinct. This specimen is about eight
inches long and of the usual width.
When this discovery is seriously
considered, i'll connection with the
general formation of the earth for a
circumference of between seventy and
eighty miles around-there not being
a hill of any material height-not a
ravine of depth worthy of remark
not a cavern, and the Wabash the
largest stream within this scope, and
the earth almost level, and thiekly
and heavily timbered, what mind can
go down into the bowels of the earth
one hundred and eighty feet beneath
the firmly rooted, aged oaks Of the
forest. and solve the mysteries there

Physical Condition OF Mars.

a pamphlet by Mr.. Proctor, a we'll
known astronomer, written to accom-
pany some recent stereOgrams of Mars,
calls attention anew to the very great
similarity between this planet and
our own earth in many points of its
extraordinary physical condition, and
mfers, as has been before suggested,
its entire adaptation TO the require
ments of living creatures such as those
that now people the earth. The polar
ice can readily be distinguished, ex-
tending its borders in the winter and
contracting in the summer. Anatmo-
sphere, carrying clouds, and mists
with definite qualities, is readily ap-
preciable and the Indications of rain
and snow are not wanting. How soon
it will be possible for US to determine
the nature of the inhabitants of the
planet-since we can scarcely believe
in their existenee-is yet a matter of
uncertainty; but it is TO be hoped that
the time is not far distant when We
may arrive at some definite conclusion
in regard to them.-HdTpeF'S MGQd-

Burr and Washington.

In our own history, Aaron Burr was
a keener thinker than George Wash
ington. He was a far more active
man; and, if he had been a moral
man. and had maintained normal re-
lations with. himself, with his fellow
men and with the laws of recititude,
he would have been an ADLER man.
Washington was man ofgoOd sense,
but he was a man Of singular equity,
Of great disinterestedness, and of pure
and upright intent. SagaciOus he
was, by the light which comes from
integrity. He endured having faith
to believe that right was right, that
right was safe, and that right in the
end would prevail. That which made
Washington the only great hero of our
revolutionary struggle was the light
of the moral element that was in him
not any intellectual genius which he
possessed; not any peculiar social en-
dowments; not any rare tact in adj
ministratiOn, nor any remarkable eX-
ecutive power. And if you look back
upon those names in our history that
have stood the test, you will find that
they were men who were fruitful in
the highest moral elements. And as
time goes on, those men who lack
these elements sink lower and lower
until they set below the horizon; and
those men who possess them rise
higher and higher, till they reach the
meridian, with undying splendor to
shine upon history and the world

THE CHRONICLE.
THE REWARD.
BY JOHN c. WHITTIER.

Who, looking backward nom his manhood's
prime,
S. IS not the spectre of his misspent timer
And through the shades
OF funeral cypress planted thick behind,
Hears no reproachful whisper on the wind
From his loved dead?
Who bears no trace OF passions evil force:
Who shuns thy sting, o terrible remerses-
Who does not cast
book,
AT times. a sad and half reluctant look,
Regretful of the past:
Alasi the evil which we fain would shun
We do, and leave the wished for good I'M
done:
Our strength to-day
II hut tO-morrows weakness, prone to fall:
Poor, blind, Improbable servant servants all
Are we alway.
Yet who. thus looking backward DER his
years,
Feels not his eyelids wet with grateful tears,
If he hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful as he was
To cheer and aid in some ennobling cause,
His fellow men?
II he hath hidden the outeast. or let in
A ray of sunshine TO the cell Of sin
If he hath lent
Strength TO the weak, and in the hour OF
need,
over the suffering, mindful Of his creed
or home. hath bent
He hath not lived in vain. And while he
gives
The praise to Him, in whom he moves and
lives,
With thankful heart;
He gazes backward, and with hope before,
knowing that from his works he neVermore
Can henceforth part.

Position and Rest.

The only position of the body which
requires no muscular eXertiOn Is lying.
1t is the proper attitude of repOse, and
one inswhich feeble strength can be
longest preserved. We may sit in diff
ferent pOstures, but in every sitting
position the muscular organism is tax
ed more or less. TOsit easily the back
must be supported, for otherwise We
have the permanent contracting OF the
posterior muscle of the trunk, and are
soon fatigued, as We may easily learn
by trying to extract comfort from q
three-legged stool. When seated on a
chair, with the back supported, the
muscles are slow to contract, and eonse-
quently we are not liable to fatigue.
If we want to be comfOrtableins setting
rooms, we should use long chairs in
order that the back and head may be
supported. But if we are bored by
diSagresahIe callers, short back chairs
are the proper articles of furniture for
parIOr. For then we are assured that
we bore our friends. Cushioned chairs,
so arranged as to enable one to
adopt a recumbent position, must be
classed among the true luxuries of this
advanced age. Reclining in one OF
them we experience little fatigue, since
we keep the muscles from contraction,
while the soft yielding cushion per-
mits an equal distribution of pressure
upon all the different points of the
body corresponding to the base Of sup
