Parental Parfiality.

There is fatal danger in family gov
ernment, from which we would warn
every parent; and that is partiality. 1t
is too often the case that fathers and
mothers have their favorite child. From
this, two evils result. In the first place,
the pet usually becomes a spoiled child ;
and the ''fiower of the family" seldom
yields any other than bitter fruit. In
the second place, part of the household
feel envy towards the parent who makes
the odious distinction. DisuniOn is thus
sown in what ought to be the Eden of
life, sense of wrong is planted by the
parents hand in the hearts of a part of
his family, an example of injustice is
written ON the soul of the offspring, by
him who should instil into it, by every
word and deed, the holy principles of
equity.

A Dinner Party.

MEssRs. EDITORS: A few miles from
Millersburg on Thanksgiving several
persons were invited in to take dinner
with one Of their neighbors. One of
the guests for some reason never takes
sugar in tea or coffee at home. Con-
sequently he did not know the article,
and on sweetening his tea happened up
on the salt instead Of the sugar. Wish
ing to sweeten it well ,he took two large
spoonfuls. On tasting it he found his
mistake, and cast sly glance at the
man of the house and the rest of the
party to see if they had noticed it. Not
smile on their countenances. He
thought he would try it again, but no
90. This time it was worse than before
Another glance around the table. No
body knows it. Bound not to give up,
he tries it again, but he couldn't go it
and passing up his cup, asked for an
other cup OF tea. This was followed by
roars of laughter by the whole party.
Such men should use sugar at home, and
then when abroad would not likely
make such mistakes. e. w. Z.

Evening Calls.

The season has come for evening calls
-noty your ceremonial kind, in full dress,
stiff and unsociable-but the cozy, drop
Observation-Disclosures, where all
stiff formality is laid aside and the flow
of conversation is uninterrupted and
genial. The side-board furnishes nuts,
apples, ETC., and an unrestrained free
dom of social converse, characterizes
these highly enjoyable visits. They are
the brightest spots in our memory and
to take away these ireside meetings with
kind friends would rob us of the sweet
est hours of lifetime.

A Word for Editors and Reporters.


The following has been going the
rounds of the press, and as there is a
good deal of truth and information in
it that every one should know, we pre-
sent it to our readers:
1t is expected that editors and report
ers will attend all public meetings and
publish the proceedings. We may know
from some other sources that the meet
ing will be held, but whoever may have
the management of them should see
that the press is invited. How does the
editor know whether you want a report? !?
Is he to stumble in like any other per-
son and take an active part by report
ing without being invited? Committees
meet, public concerts are held, public
dinners given and a thousand other
things. We don't want your dinners,
we have enough of our own, nor your
dancing or music; but if you expect us
to spend our time in inquiring into
them and our money in setting type for
them, unless our services are thought
worth little show of common courtesy,
you are mistaken. We give as literally
to every good cause rs any one of our
means and then are expected to double
that for printing, for which we get not
even thank you. Many. persons, too,
neglect the newspaper in the business
that needs its aid. They seem to think
they can and should get that which
costs us money without giving us any
equivalent. If you want the aid of the
paper either as citizens Of a community
or as individuals it is your duty to rem
der an equivalent. What would you
think OF man who would go into your
store and ask you to give him a hank of
thread and go somewhere else to buy
| his cloth?

To Polish Furniture.

The following recipe for polishing fur
niture is said to be better than the or-
binary varnish: Melt over moderate
fire in very clean vessel two ounces OF
white or yellow wax, and when liquifed,
add four ounces of good essence of tur-
pentine; stir the whole until it is entire
ly cool, and the result will be kind of
pomade equal to varnish, without any OF
its Inconvenience.

Thankfully Received.

The box of clothing, dry goods, gro
ceries, &C., of which we spoke last week
as being sent to Wisconsin was received
on the 29th, the day before thanksgiving.
The letter acknowledging the receipt of
the box, was full of thankfulness from
the needy ones among whom it was dis
tributed. A part was given to two fam
lilies who were formerly in fine circum-
stances, and who were really suffering
but were ashamed to ask for aid. These
private committees do more good, and
reach the most needy much better than
the public committee, who being paid
by the day, sit there and deliver the ar
ticles to those who call for them. They
do not 60 out and hunt up the really
needy ones, like the local ladies' COM
mittee.7 There is yet great need of aid.

A Slight Mistake.

A Danbury man saw his daughter into
the cars and passed round to her window
for parting look at her. While he was
passing out the daughter left the seat to
speak to friend, and at the same time a
prim looking lady who occupied the seat
with her moved up to the window. Un-
aware of the important change inside,
our venerable friend hastily put his
face up to the window and hurriedly ex-
claimed, "One more kiss, sweet pet" In
another instant the point of blue cot
ton umbrella caught his seductive lips,
followed by the passionate injunction,
'Scats you gray-headed wretch! J" and he

An Ancient Tramp.

There came into Barnesville few
days ago character that is probably
the Oldest representative of his class.
Jimmy Yolk is a"jour" tailor, ninety
four years old, whose only occupation
is to fit from place to place as suits his
convenience. He has been on the tramp
forseventy-five years, visited every State
in the Union many times, and walked
on an average three thousand miles ev-
cry year. He has good eyesight yet,
and processes to be able to work at his
trade. He has just returned from a lit
tie walk into Nova Scotia and is now en-
route for Texas. He invariably walks
from place to place, and sleeps out OF
doors. Continuous exercise in the open
air is probably the secret of his long life
and comparatively rugged old age

Home.

Home is the one place in all this world
where hearts are sure OF each other. II
is the place of confidence. 1t is the place
where we tear off <6at mask of guarded
and suspicious GOODNESS which the world
forces us to wear in self-defence, and
where we pour out the unreserved COM
munication of full and confiding hearts.
1t is the spot where expressions of ten
derness gush out without any sensation
Of awkwardness, and without any dread
of ridicule. Let man travel where he
will, home is the place to which "his
hearts untrammelled fondly turns" He
is to double all pleasure there. He is to,
divide all pain. A happy home is the
single spot of rest which man has up
on this earth for the cultivation OF his
noblest sensibilities.
