No Mother.

"She has no MOTHER" Whit volume
of sorrowful truth is comprised in that sin
gle utterance, no mother We must &c
down the hard rough path of life and be-
come Injured to care and sorrow, in their
sternest forms before we can take home to
our own experience the dread reality-no
mother, without a struggle. and tear
But when it is said of a frail young girl,
just passing from childhood toward the life
of woman, how sad the story summed up
in that short SENTENCED Who shall now
check the hayward fancies-who shall now
bear the errors and failings of the mother
less daughter? Let not the cup of sorrow
be over fownby the harshness of your
bearing, or your sympathizing coolness.-
Is she needless of your doings? Is she
forgetful of her duty? Is she careless
of her movements? Remember, oh, remem-
Der she has no mother.
And the poor boy too, with none to care
for him or to administer to his comfort
You see him sportive with his companions,
perhaps rude, may be at times wicked-he
has no mother to warn and chide him no
mother to shed her softening influences over
him. And when he goes to bed, strange
fears creep over him, and desolation Of
spirit thatno tongue can express. Heis turned
out into the world to battle with its storm
alone, and when pain and WEAKNESS press
upon him, no word of plying sympathy falls
on his ears-no soft hand soothes and sup
ports him. Remember, oh, remember he
has no mother

Things L Hate.

hate man who makes love to his wife
before folks, and the house too hot to hold
her after they have gone Who says dear,
and darling, and WHEY in public, and abus-
es her when he gets her home.
l hate woman who, when her husband
comes home at night tired, and discouraged
perhaps with his days labor and trials,
insists upon dragging him out to party or
opera, when the lounge or bed appears the
only comfort to the exhausted man and I
hate him if he is simpleton enough to dress
and accompany her because she cries.
I hate the man who spends money with
out stint among men, and denies his wife a
decent wardrobe; and [ hate the woman
who doesn't make fuss about it,
[ hate the man who is always ready to do
a good turn for a neishbor. and obstinately
refuses to do anything at home; who give
freely Of bis time and money to outsiders,
and neglects to provide for his wife and
children
hate woman who is so bent upon sim
proving her mind" that she allows her little
ones to 60 ragged and dirty, and her hus-
bands clothes tattered and buttoDless and
[ hate the man who don't put a stop to such
nonsense.

What has he Made.

The Albany Post thus sensibly replies to
statement made in the New York Herald
that during the last twenty years VIM. B.
Astor has so managed fortune of twenty
millions, as to roll it into sixty millions
Suppose he has, what then What has he
made by the operation, except the increased
worriment to keep the run of his increased
wealth Astor, with his sixty millions, eats
no more oysters, quail, wookcock and boned
turkey, than he did when he was worth ten
millions. He dresses no better, and has a
thousand times less fun.
eff mems happiness increased with their
money, everybody would be justified in
worshipping the Golden Calf. The happi-
ness increases with their earnings up to a
certain point-the point necessary to secure
them the comforts of life, say $4,000 a
year. All beyond this is superfuous.
Being superfuous it is productive Of no good
whatever. The richer the man, the greater
is the probability that his sons will live on
billiards and die in the inebriate asylum =
With contentment and $4,000 year, a
man may be as happy as prince. Without
contentment you will be miserable, even if
your wealth equal the rent-roll of Cresus"

STRANGE EFFECTS OF STRYcHN1NE. An
instance illustrating the terrible activity and
virulence of strychnine lately came to our
observation, which occurred to us as being
very remarkable, though we suppose it a
natural result This was the case: A
farmer named Chilson, living near Girard,
thinking to rid his cornfeld of trouble
some ground hog, managed to administer
the quadruped dose Of strychnine which
killed him nearly instantly. The carcass
was suspended in tree, where the crows
soon espied the savory bit and proceeded to
appease their appetites. After partaking
of the fatal meal, the crows would fl y rapidly
short distance, as if in agony, aud fall
dead to the ground. The bones being
thoroughly stripped of the flesh, remained
exposed to the bleaching influence of the
sunshine, rain and frost for nearly two years,
when falling to the ground, highly priced
dog masticated parts of them, and died from
the effect in space not exceeding ten minu-
tes.-- Conneaut Reporter

Poetry.
Press On.

Press on surmount the rocky steps,
Climb boldly DER the torrents arch;
He fails alone who feebly creeps,
He wins who dares the heros march.
Be thou a hero, let thy might
Tramp on eternal SHOWS its way,
And through the ebon walls of night,
Hew down q passage unto day.
Press on! if once and twice thy feet
Slip back and tumble, harder try;
From him who never breads to meet
Danger and death, they're sure to fly.
To coward ranks the bullet speeds,
While on their breasts, who never quail,
Cleans, guardian of chivalric deeds,
Bright courage, like a coat of mail.
Press on if Fortune play the false
To-day, tomorrow she'll be true;
Whom now she sinks, she now exalts,
Taking old gifts and granting new.
The wisdom Of the present hour
Makes up for follies past and gone;
To weakness strength succeeds, and power
From frailty springs Press on, press on.
Therefore, press on, and reach the goal,
And gain the prize, and wear the crown;
Faint not, for TO the steadfast soul
Come wealth, and honor, and renown.
To thine own self be true, and keep
Thy mind from sloth, thy heart from soil;
Press on, and thou shalt surely reap
A Heavenly harvest for thy toll.

Ungrateful Children.

An Eastern proverb which declares that
there are no ungrateful children, is nearer
the truth than it appears. 1t is but another
version of the Biblical maxim 'Train up
child in the way he should 60, and when he
is old he will never depart from it," The
parent who does really train up child in
the way he should go, is the parent who
truly deserves the gratitude of his child,
and he is the only parent who can hope to
receive it in full measure. How many par
ents there are who, after indulging their
ohildrep's every desire, are sincerely aston
ished to find them making no return of love
and gratitude. Gratitude For what should
they be grateful For an impaired digestion ?
For will uncurbed For mind empty ?
For hands unskillful? For childhood
wasted For the chance of forming noble
character lost (? These are poor claims upon
the gratitude of child Bring up your
child so that at mature age, he shall have
a sound constitution, healthy desires, and an
honest heart, we'll formed mind, good
manners, and useful calling, and you may
rely upon his making you such rich re-
turn Of grateful affection as shall thousand
times repay you for the toll and self denial
which such a training casts.

Who ARE happy ?-Lord Byron

Who ARE HAPPY ?-Lord Byron said
"The mechanics and workingmen who can
maintain their families are, in my opinion,
the happiest body of men. Poverty is
wretchedness; but even poverty is, perhaps,
to be preferred to the heartless, unmeaning
dissipation of the high order Another
author says: I have no propensity to envy
any one, least of all the rich and great -
but, If disposed to this weakness, the subject
of my weakness would be healthy young
man, in full possession of his strength and
faculties, going forth in the morning to
work for his wife and children, or bringing
them home his wages at night

how that men who can not absolutely pay
small bills can always find plenty of money
to buy liquor and treat when happening
among friends?
Can any one tell how it is that some men
who owe for tailoring, shoes, &C., can have
anything that's nice-eat oysters at night,
wear fine clothes, and have all the delicacies
