Is there any position mother can covet
for her daughter more glorious than to be
the wife of an honest farmer, in country
like this? To be the wife of one who is
looked upon by the neighbors as one whose
example may be safely followed--one
whose farm is noted far and near as
model of neatness and perfection of culti-
vation? To be mistress of mansion of
her own, that may be the envy of every
passer by, because it is neat and comfor-
table-a sweet and lovely cottage home.
To be the angel that fits through the gar
den, bidding the flowers bloom, and twin.
ing roses and honey suckles around the
bedroom, or sweetening their fragrance
with her sweetest smile or spreading the
snowy cloth beneath the old oak at the
door to welcome her husband as he re-
turns from his toll or ever tipping the
cradle with her hand, or busily moves the
needle, at the same time humming joy
Gus song of praise that she is the happy
and fondly beloved wife of an American
of the true noblemen of this
free country-one that should, by right,
rank as the pride and glory of America.

this morning, before very many inhabit-
ants of our town were astir, Prof Church

train, and started to Mt. Airy, n. c.
When they had been gone half an hour,
or thereabout, it was discovered that the
pocket-book belonging to the firm had
been left behind, and very soon the senior
partner of the firm was seen return
ing for the missing fund.- As he
started out, he was met by the County Of
fetal who demanded the license fee for
travelling showmen. But the Prof. was
not to be taken that way, 80 he started on
a run with our Clerk after him. And
then commenced an exciting chase
With "run Clerk !" "Run Show !" shout

WATCH. MOTHER.

Mother, watch the little feet
Climbing over the garden wall.
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, she'd and hall.
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it costs,
Little feet will go astray--
Guide them, mother, while you may.
Mother, watch the little hand
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask.
'sWhy to me this weary task"
These same little hands may prove
Messengers of light and love.
Mother watch the little tongue
Z Prattling, eloquent and wild;
What is said and what Is sung
- By the happy. joyous child, Ma
Catch the word while yet unspoken,
Stop the VOW before tits broken
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in a Saviour's name.
Mother! watch the little heart
Beating soft and warm for you;
Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, o keep the young heart true.
Extracting every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed
Harvest rich you then may see,
Ripenillg for eternity.

The Opening spring.

For the Herald and Tribune.
There is a merry freshness in the sound.
A thousand recoilections come crowding
in upon us from all that is beautiful in the
world around US. Who does not love a
beautiful Spring morning, when birds are
singing, buds bursting and flowers bloom
ing?
The time when old Boreas has taken his
fight, aud gentle Spring comes blooming
and blushing from the azure chambers of
the South, with her gentle showers and
balmy breezes. All nature seems to re-
joice in the termination of Winters drea-
ry reign, and goes forth to the Coronation
of the young Queen, crowned with wreath
Of flowers in her robe of modest green
The puriing stream that has SO long been
bound in Winters icy chains, has broken
their cold embrace. and now goes murmur-
ing and dancing on its way to old oceans
coral caves. The morning breaks in silent
beauty; the soft and balmy West wind
fans US with its rosy breath, and breathes
its gentle influence over the face of nature.
The tears of night hang upon the green
grass, clothing it with the blending hues
of the rainbow, and the sparkling brillian-
cy of the diamond. All is bright, soft,
and beautiful No murky clouds stretch
their leaden pail over the armament, and
there is no blemish on the face of nature.
You stand entranced as you look out upon
the handiwerk of Him who has strewn
with gems the oceans caves, and strcwen
broadcast over the earth the glories of
the physical universe. The feathered
songsters, SO long banished from their ma
tive homes, seeking home in the warm
sunny cline of the South, again return
and gladden. our hearts with their merry
carol as it is waited to our ears on the
evening breeze. But, alas! their stay Is
but brief-soon thou must give way to
Summer with her scorching heat. Iwould
that thou couldst stay longer.

No blister draws sharper than interest
does. OF all industries none is compsra-
bic to that of interest 1t works all day
and night, in fair weather and foul. 1t has
no sound in its footsteps, but travels fast.
It gnaws mans substance with invisible
teeth. 1t binds industry with its film, as
fly is bound in a spiders web. Debt
rolls a man over and over, binding hand
and foot, and letting him hang upon the
fatal mesh until the long legged interest
devours him. There is but one thing on
farm like it, and that is the Canada
thistle which swarms new plants every
time you break its roots, whose blossoms
are prolific, and every flower the father Of
a million ceds.-Every leaf is an awl,
every branch a spear aud every plant like
a platoon of bayonets, and field Of them
like an armed host. The whole plant is
tormen. and vegetable curse. And yet

The same remark might have been
heard from the young man loa6ing on the
street corner. Young man with the ci-
gar. you are smoking away your capital.
You from the dramshop are drinking yours
and destroying your body at the same
time--and you at the street corner ara
wasting yours and destroying yours in
idleness and forming bad habits. Dimes
make dollars. Time is money. Don't
wait for fortune to begin with. If you
had ten thousand dollars year and spent
it all. you would be poor still. Our men
of power and influence did not start with
fortunes. You, too, can make your mark
if you will. But you must stop spending
your money for what you don't need, and
your time in idleness.

A Family OF Giants.


The Scientific American gives the fol-
lowing account Of remarkable Turkish
family
On Friday. January 27th, the floor OF
our Office trembied under the tread of tho
largest client that ever pressed its boards
Seating himself at our, desk on chair (as
much out Of proportion to his bulk as an
ordinary baby's chair would be to q COM
mon-sized man), this huge individual OK
planned to us the nature Of an invention
for which he was desirous to secure q patent.
Having transacted his business. and
created very unusual sensation among
the numerous attaches Of the Office, he rose
to depart. On his way out. our associate
editor adroitly approached him, snd sue
ceeded IN gaining from him the following
statement, the publication of which. in our
sober columns. will, we are sure, minister
to that love Of the marvellous, trace of
which always remains, oven in the most
philosophical bosom: ll hnl nirf
1.-The name of the indiyidurl referred
to is Colonel Ruth Goshen, and he resides
at present at Algonquin, Ill. He is ma
tive of Turkey in Asia, and was born
among the hills Of Palestine. He is the
fifteenth, and last child lthc baby, of a
family of fftcen-ten sons and fye daugh-
ters-sired by a patriarehnow ninety years
old, living in tho valley of Damascus. and
by occupation plantaf. This venerabls
sire weighs. at the present time. $40 pounds
ayoirdupois, and his wife, aged sixty-scscn.
weighs $50 pounds. - -f. -
The entire family are living. Epd not
one of them weighs less than 500 pounds.
The Oldest son weighs $50 pounds aud
the youngest, our huge client, outstripping
them all, weighs $50 pounds. Not one Of
the family is less than seven feet IN light
and the Colonel isa STRIPPING Of only seven
feet eight inches in his stockings. He is
not an unduly fat man, is merely what
would be called moderately portly, and is
thirty-threc years old.
He was Colonel in the Austrian army
in 1859, and Colonel commanding in the
Mexican army at the battle Of Puebla,
May 9Th, 1862, in which the Mexicans
were yictorions. His father at one time
resided in Leeds. England, but returned
to Turkey in 1915. ~ = .rst - Li
The Colonel states that there has never
been and sickness in the family to speak of.
and that all arc--so far as he knows--well
and hearty. 1t was at Leipsic, Germany,
that the Colonel met his fate in the person
of fair mcdchen, weighing one hundred
and ninety pounds. and five feet nine in-
ches in hight, and the union has been bless
cd with two sons, who give promise Of
rivaling their father in stature. ' q
The Colonel is finely -proportioned
plan, and walks witt, "a firm and elastic
step. He is as straight as an arrow, and
has coal-black eyes, hair, and mustache.
Heis an actor By profession. lie informs
us that his last engagement was at Simin's
Theatcr, in Baltimore. and he expects 20
play an engagement in New York during
the present season. y e,sesg...asa ~
