Nature and Parents.

1t Is a great mistake to keep children
too long or too entirely in state of pupil
age. Few things so dwarf a child's mind
and irritate its temper as the constant and
necessarily petty exercise of authority. A
child should be thrown on its own re-
sponsibility just as fast aud just as far as
possible The needless Intervention OF
adults, even though made in and with the
tenderest kindness, is injurious to both in
tellectual and moral character. Better a
child should have many tumbles, and walk
alone, than be upheld always by his
mothers hand. Children would learn TO
reason far more than they do if their elders
were not so eager to reason for them.
And if children were more accustomed
to use their reason, there would not be so
much false assumption and insufficient in
duction among grown people. Let things
follow each other naturally, and the little
folks will very soon be logical without
knowing it.

The Republican Party.

MR.. FRELINGHUYsEN, after receiving
the nomination for United States Senator,
was waited upon by the Republican mem
bers of the New Jersey Legislature, whom
he addressed briefly. In the course of his
remarks he made the following reference
to the Republican party:
The Republican party has an arduous
road to travel 1t has been like a man
travelling in a storm, who buttons his coat
across his breast and defies the blast, tosses
the snow-wreaths from his feet, and finally
reaches the goal at which he aims. What
has the Republican party achieved9 1t
has rescued the Union it has established
the equality of all before the laws; it has
preserved inviolate the faith and honor OF
this great nation. If any one says these
achievements are not enough to compen'
safe for all the tolls and privations and ex.
ertions that this party has made, he is
hard to satisfy. But we have still in the
future glorious work before us in per
fecting this great mission which we have
already inauguated

The Missouri Senator.

The election of General Blair by the
Democratic party, In Missouri, as Senator
of the United States, is another of the
signs of its real character, which that party
occasionally and generously offers the
country. In 1868, Just before the meeting
of the Democratic National Convention,
which was controlled by rebel sympathy,
General Blair wrote letter to Colonel
James o. Brodhead, in which he said,
after denouncing the reconstruction acts as
unconstitutional, that there was but one
way TO restore the Government and the
Constitution; and that is" he continued,
" for the President-elect to declare these
acts null and void, compel the army to un-
do its usurpations at the South, disperse
the carpet bag State governments, allow
the white people to reorganize their own
governments, and elect senators and repre-
sentatives" The meaning of such words
was, of course, evident, and they were at
once understood by the country. But
they were sweet and precious to the rebel
element which controlled the Democratic
Convention, aud the writer of the letter
was made the Democratic candidate fol
Vice President. The country, not wishing
renewed civil war, nor anxious to intrus
the government TO its confessed enemies
presently showed its disposition. As thu
election approached, the New York WORT
insisted that General Blair should be dis
carded as a candidate, which was merely
throwing up the sponge y and instead o
electing the gentleman who was for "un
doing and " dispensing" as President o
the Senate, the people of the United State
preferred Mr. Colfax, and no sensible maj
| in the country was sorry.
General Blair, as senatorial candidate
recently said, in the Missouri Legislature
"There is no item in that letter that | tax
back. l stand by it," And he proceeds
to explain that if the soldiers were with
drawn from the South" their work vii
| be undone. Now, small as this hole of es
cape is, it was not necessary for the Gen
eral TO creep through it. He would hav
received Just as many votes If he had sal
that he would forcibly disperse the Legi'
latures of the Southern States. II was hi

World, which expressed the spirit of hi
party, and that spirit is unchanged.
the General and his political friends coul
obtain control of the government, the
would not hesitate to act upon the feeling
and views which he expressed in 1868, an
which he stands by" in 1871. Meanwhil
the country will remark what kind of cal
didates the Democratic party prefers as il
representatives, and what kind of polio
is probable, should such representatives d

Sixteen Reasons.

A writer in an exchange gives the fol-
lowing plain and forcible reasons for alb
stinence from the use of intoxicating
liquors as beverage:
/. Because ale, porter, gin, rum, brandy,
etc., all contain spirit which is calculated
to derange the human system.
2. Because none of these drinks, as an
habitual beverage, are ever useful, but al
ways injurious to persons in health, and
many protesting Christians, both young
and old, have been ruined by them.
3. Because drunkenness is a besetting
sin and leads to idleness, quarrellipg, swear
ing, fighting, stealing, adultery, murder,
and almost every other sin, and finally to
eternal misery.
4. Because drinking produces poverty,
bankruptcy, destruction Of property, loss OF
reason, disease and premature death.
8. Because great deal of valuable time,
labor and capital are worse than wasted
upon making, vending, and using these
drinks.
6. Because over seventy millions of
money, being more than the whole revenue,
are annually expended upon them in the
! United Kingdom, which ought to. be laid
out in food and manufactures.
7. Because nearly sixty millions of bush
els of good grain are annually destroyed
| in this Christian land to make those liquors,
while the markets are high and many of
! the poor are starving.
| s. Because intemperance obstructs the
progress of civilization, education, the re-
| ligion of Jesus, and every useful reform.
| 8. Because abstinence is sure and safe,
but drinking moderately is dangerous,
and has led to all the drunkenness in the
world
10. Because find l cannot effectually
warn the drunkard or set him an exam
pie, unless l am myself an entire alb,
stainer.
II. Because like TO join those who are
exerting themselves to promote the tenn
poral and spiritual reformation and happi-
ness of man.
-. Because it is important to set a safe
example of perfect sobriety to our chill
dren, friends and associates.
13. Because it is our Christian duty to
deny ourselves even of lawful things, to
promote the happiness of others.
II. Because, while millions in time and
eternity have repented Of drinking, not
one ever repented of abstaining.
Is. Because, while no blessing is pro.
nounced upon drinking, Gods approval is
frequently recorded in favor of abstinence
(See Jer. xxXv.; Luke ], 10; Rom. xiv.
Il Prov. XIX, ~
10. Because / should be ashamed to
touch, taste or handle, or keep in my
house, the article which is filling'the land
with dissipation, vice, poverty, misery, lam
entation and woe.

How TO Save all the Strength Of Ma
mira.

IT is held by some late writers that ma
nure may be applied In small heaps, OF un.
evenly spread, and the soil will still hold
It's strength. Experiments TRAY have
demonstrated something like this, but our
experience Is averse TO Il. On clay loan
good for manure-we find but little ef-
feet from dung left long In heaps, less yet
when scattered in dry, hard balls, as is but
too common.
In such cases yearly failures nave been
the experience and we all ky Jw what the
experience is with heaps they over-en-
rich some, the little spots they occupy,
and benefit but little the rest when spread,
the strength, having much escaped, and
| being put In heaps II was not apt to spread
we'll, In its tight dry state II was thrown
on the stubbles, or unevenly scratched
about little
Since then the application has been
changed and manure, as soon as drawn,
spread, and spread evenly and finely--the
point of all being to get 1t close TO the
ground. In such case Il virtually becomes
soil A close cropped pasture is good
place to apply manure; a naked-plowed
or harrowed--soil is better-the soil then
takes hold of the manure, being in direci
contact with 1t. Hence the effect of ap
plying the manure when the grain is sown
whether narrowed in or left on the sur
face. This last-left unharrowed-iI
probably the preferable way where com
post is used, especially if soil Is one of it
constituents. Being in contact with thu
soil is equivalent to being in it, as none o
the properties of the manure are lost, ant
1t is preferable, as being farthest from th
sub-soil, the chances are for the least los

loss at all, the whole depth of the soil hav
J ing to go through slow process, while
when mixed with the soil or plowed un
der, 1t has less or no space to travel.
The case is clear, / think, that we cal
save our manure if applied in the way in
dicated. Carted from the stables in tn
fall on a plowed level surface, there is
chance that all the strength will be saved
: save the little that evaporates in steam a
