STEENIE.
BY ANNA L. RurH.

Sturdie Steenie, rose checked, bright eyed,
Standing at the open door,
Bidding me good-by with kisses
And with promises a score
"PII be just as good as-apples
'Bey my aunties and not cry.
Nor tease Mabe or wake the baby
TIL you comes, mamma! Good-byl"
So 1 started, musing softly,
On the blessings God has given
In my chiIdren-"Surely," said I,
''They are cherubs strayed from Heaven
Hearts SO full of tender loving.
Eyes with earnest impulse bright
Round them still there seems to Tnger
Halos of celestial ightI"
Two hours labor, home returning
Languidly, with weary feet,
Standing in the self-same doorway,
Little Mabe CHANGED to greet.
Bright blue eyes all flushed with weeping,
Lips a-quiver, cheeks afame;
Eagerly, to pour her sorrows
Into mamma ear, she came.
''Mamma, Steenie's been so naughty
First he told aunt Sallie won't
Then he scratched my little table,
Tho asked him please to don't;
Then he scrssched and walked the baby,
Frightened him most to fit,
And when aunt Belle called him naughty,
Said he didn't care a bit !
"Then he made face at Dolly,
Said she was an ugly sing
Said some day he's going to hang her
To the door-lnob with string.
Then told him if he did it
You would send him right to bed;
So he thumped me on the shoulder
See the place-it's a,cful red?
"When he saw you coming, mamma,
He hid himself behind the door,
And he's wearing out his slippers,
Poundin' with 'em on the floor.
Mamma, if he is so wicked,
Does so many dreadful things,
Will he eUer be an angel
Up in Heaven with shiny wings?"
With sudden jerk, my visions
OF celestial cherubs fed.
Frowningly my brows contracted,
In an accent stern, I said,
"Come to me, you naughty fellowl
What are all these things hear?
Rude to auntiesl striking sisterI
I must punish you, fear~
From his stronghold came the culprit,
Seeming not at all afraid,
Round his mouth the dimpIes lurking,
Brown eyes beaming, undismayed.
By my knee he took his station,
Small defiance in his air,
Answering only to my chidings
Saucily, 81 doesn't carer'
In my eyes the tear-drops started,
Anger giving place to pain,
80 my baby, how you grieve me!
Are my teachings all in vainp"
Suddenly, two arms were round me-
Little fingers softly drew
Down my quivering lips to meet his
"Kiss me, mammal loves youI'
This was all of his confession,
All his plea for pardoning grace,
Yet knew that I had conquered
By the love-ight in his face.
So gave him absolution,
Though pondered sadly still
On this mingled human nature,
Half of good, and half of i'll.
Inwardly prayed for wisdom,
Safe my little band to guide
Through the perils that beset them
Hedge them in on every side;
And an answer seemed to reach me,
Softly falling from above,
"Safest guard and guide, o, mother,
Is the holy power of lOUeP

Correct!

1t Is continually inculcated by the pro
fessional demagogues whose labor con
sists in perambulating about the country
at the expense of those who work, that
the employer is a non-producer who con-
tributes nothing to the common stock,
but lives by robbing the workingmen,
and that the overthrow of these employ
ers would enrich the journeymen; that
every workman should by law be made a
partner with his employer, etc
But he must be a very stupid employee
who fails to perceive that in point of fact
he is a partner with his employer, in that
he invests his labor for a specified share of
the profits, and receives his dividends in
the form of wages-the employer furnish
ing the capital, raw materials, buildings,
machines, and tools, and finding the mar
ket for the products, paying the taxes and
insurance, standing the wear and tear, and
taking all the risk of loss in carving on
the establishment. He must be a very
shallow minded workman who does not
know that, if his employer pays more wa
ges than he can afford, he quickly Grip
pies his business, is obliged to discharge
help, and eventually is ruined; but if he
makes a good profit, he invariably en-
larges his business by reinvesting his
gains, employs more men at the highest
market price for labor, and nearly always
takes into partnership some of his best
and most trustworthy workmen. In fol-
lowing his own interests he necessarily

Carriers.

Some New England lady, Mrs Daniels,
we believe-another of the Daniels come
to ludgment-has invented new tangled
apparatus for keeping the ladies' stockings
up, which is to surersede the time hon
ored and knightly garter. 1t may do well
enough for those ladies who lack suffi-
cient rotundity of limb, but our Virginia
women are not deficient in any of the ne
cessary adjuncts that go to make up the
perfect mould of form, and can keep their
garters On and stockings up without re-
sorting to any new inventions. What
will the Yankee ask US to surrender next {?
The garter is an old and cherished insti-
tuition; and although the classic inven-
ton with the buckle has been adopted by
many city bellies, the free born and uncon-
ventional country girls still stick to twine
and tape and other strings-some even
using as tie the primitive wisp of straw
We will have none of this new fashioned

our ancient ties. 1t is direct assault up
on our civilization, blow aimed at our
gartered rights, and we will resent it
while we have a leg to stand upon La

the banner of the garter, and inscribe up
on it that grand motto of the grandest
order of knighthood ever established
" Hont soft q,oi NAL q pense, and there is

Fat Men.

1t is striking fact that most persons
want to weigh more than they do, and
measure their health by their weight, as
if man were pig, valuable in proper
ton to his heaviness. The racer is not
fat; good plow horse has but moder-
ate amount of flesh. Heavy men are not
those which experienced contractors en-
ploy to build railroads and dig bitches.
Thin men, the world ever, are the men for
endurance; are the wiry and hardy; thin
people live the longest. The truth is, fat
is disease; and, as proof, fat people are
never well day at time; are not suited
for hard work. Still, there is a medium
between fat as butter-ball and thin and
j1iceless as fence rail- For mere looks.
moderate rotunditY is most desirable-to
have enough flesh to cover all angulari-
ties. To accomplish this in the shortest
time, man should work but little, sleep
great part Of the time, allow nothing to
worry him, keep himself in a joyous,
laughing mood, and live chiefly on albu-
minutes, such as boiled cracked wheat,
and rye, and oats, and corn, and barley,
and sweet milk and buttermilk, and fat
meats. Sugar is the best fattener known.

Near Indianapolis, on the 23d inst.
farmer was threshing his grain by steam
power when a we'll dressed stranger drove
up in buggy, got out, tied his horse and
came to the machine. He first went to
the engineer and asked the privilege of
feeding the machine awhile and was re-
ferred to the feeder The feeder, seeing
no reason to refuse letting him try his
hand, yielded his post, which the stranger
filled with ability. After running short
time he looked to the engineer for more
steam, which the engineer put on, and
then, while the machine was going at
lightning speed, he motioned the man
handling sheaves to stop, and as soon as
the teeth were clear, he doubled
up his arms and threw himself head fore
most into the thresher, before the horror
observers had any idea of his in
tention. He was literally torn to pieces
In an instant. No clue to his identity
could be discovered. His pocket book
contained $50, but nothing in the way of
papers.

SCAUYLER CoLFAx ADDRESSES A
SUNDAY ScAooL.-On Sunday last, at
Wlnona, Minnesota, Vice President Col
fax, who was guest of Senator Window,
addressed Sunday school connected with
the Congregational Church. He said it
was not his intention, on coming into
Minnesota, to indulge in public speaking
under any circumstances but when in
vited to say few words in Sunday
school, he could not refuse, for among
the happiest recollections of his life were
OF the time he had spent in the infant
class to which he had been taken by his
mother when only three years old. For
some II years it had been his privilege to
be teacher in Sunday school, and one
of the sweetest rewards of his life was the
assurance of young man about to enter
the ministry that it was through his in
strumentality he had been led to the calling.
The speaker considered the Injunction of
the Savior of Simon Peter, feed nv
lambs, and it devolved upon Sunday
school to realize the responsibility that
rested upon it dealing with immortal souls
committed to their care He dwelt with
much emphasis upon the beneficial infiu-
ence, excited by the the Sunday school
in the home circle, and upon society at
large 1t makes children more tender
more respectable and more obedient. Go
to prisons, he said, as he had frequently
done, and asked the poor wretches behind
the bars if they had been brought up in
the Sunday school? Only an occasional
criminal will give an affirmative answer.
Their school was upon the street, and in
places where they were cut off from
all moral and religious instructions.
Drawing his remarks to a close, he said it
was hardly possible that he would ever
see all these faces again, even if he were
to return to Winona at some future dav,
but before leaving he wished to give one
or two sentiments to the young people be-
fore him; sentiments, which if lived up
to, would brighten their retrospect as they
recalled their youthful days The first
was to be masters and mistresses of your
tempers and of yourselves; hasty words
caused more unhappincss than flowed
from any other source. The other was to
never allow yourselves to do any act in
private that you would blush to expose to
the gaze ofthe world. Fortify yourselves
against temptation from without and sim
fulness from within and you will have
laid the foundation for peaceful and hap
py life.

the crushing downfall that impended over
him. The maiden had given him her
heart; she had listened to his witchery
night after night, and loved him with all
the fervor of her southern nature. She
would have followed him to the end of
the earth, and to the scafold, and her
aged mother would freely have given her

on him as demi- god-but as with most
OF our Southern women, virtue and pro

States, pursued by Mr.. Jefferson and the
remorseless agents of power and author

seems to have felt, for the first time. the

A TOUCHING SToRY-In the cemetery
at Nashville, Tenn, stranger was seen
planting flower over a soldiers grave.
When asked.

NO. was the answer
"Your son-in-law ~
"No."
"a brother?"
NO"
"a relative??"

After moments pause the stranger
laid down a small board which he held in
his hand, and said:
"Well, will tell you. When the war
broke out / was farmer in Illinois. /

An exchange gives the following SEN
sible advice to young men: If You are
strong, and have no particular liking for a
profession or trade, buy small tract of
land, or building lot, and have some
spot on earth you can improve and call
your own. Don't content yourself with
the idea of being clern and measuring
tape all your days. Start out and make a
man of yourself You can be great deal
more OF man, and just as much of gen
tlcman, seated on mower in the hay
field, driving span of horses, as you can
behind the counter in town or CITY store.
If you are farmers boy, do not be guilty
of going off to town or city in search of
some employment which you may fancy
is more genteel or easier than farming.
Every town and city, both cast and west,
is already overrun with such persons.
Start farm, fo matter how small yoli
begin-and if you have any snap in you,
it will manifest itself in the many improve
ments which you will be continually add
ing to ourpossession-but if, on the 9TH
er hand, you are good for nothing, and
don't want to be anybody, stay where you
are, 1t matters not where"
