Father Knows"

A gentleman was one day opening box Of
dry goods. His little son was standing near,
and his father took the packages from the box,
he laid some Of them upon the arm Of the boy.
a young friend aud playmate ofthe merchants
son was standing by, locking on. As parcel
after parcel was laid upon the arm Of the boy,
his friend began to fear his load was becoming
too heavy, and said
"Johuny, don tyou think you'veg0tas much
as you can bsar7"
Never mind" answered Johnny, in a
sweet, happy tone, father knows how much
l can carry"
Brave, trusting little fellow lie did not
grow restless or impatient under the burden.
There was no danger, he felt, that bis father
would lay too heavy a load on him. His
father knew his strength, or rather the weak
ness Of that little arm, aud would not oyeytask
it. More than an, bis father loved him, and
therefore would not harm him.

10 is great mistake TO set up our own
standard Of right and wrong, and Judge people
accordingly. It is a great mistake to measure
the enjoyments Of others by our own; to expect
uniformity Of opinion in this world to look
for Judgment and experience in youth to en-
deayer to mould all disposition alike; not to
yield in immaterial tritles to look for perfec-
ton in our own action to worry ourselves and
others with what cannot be remedied not to
alleviate an that needs aleyiation, as far as lies
in our power to consider everything impossi-
bic which we cannot perform to believe only
what our finite mind can grasp; to expect to be
able to understand everything. Thegreatcst Of
all mistakes is tolivo only for time, when any
moment may launch us into eternity.

gest the name Of DR.. Hayes the Arctic explorer Tor
secretary OF the Navy instead OF Ben Wade. I
presume that under any government but ours he
would have been honored with becoming position
ere this but better now than to reserve all the
honor for the funeral as Is so often done. ] am
aware tnat during the war he had charge OF one or
the largest military h0s ptas: but the very efficient
management thereof rather deserved the thanks Of
the nation than that he should be obliged for the
office. No doubt his appointment would meet with
general favor and If the party In power at pre- ent
neglectS h m let the democrats run him on their
next Presidential or Gubefnatorial ticket II they
wish to eject good men. Al any rate let those be
nonored who devote their time anu risk their lives
