child who is quick or violent in his pas
sions will always be so. How many
mothers have sunk down in dependency
because they could not eradicate violent
temperl You could more easily make
blue eyes black. People talk OF subdu-
ing a strong-willed child, of breaking the
force of his will. You may change the
manner of the action of his will, but you
cannot break the will unless you break
the boy.
And just such hopeless things are un-
dertaken in educational institutions.
Boys are sent to college who should have
been sent anywhere else. ltmatters little
that you say you will develop deficient
faculties. That can be done within linn
its. But when you try to turn a boys
whole life in a direction in which he is
poorest, you condemn him to failure and
intellectual penury. Strengthen the weak
side, but let the life-work lie in the direc-
ton of the strong side. If your boy is a
mechanic by nature, do not make him a
preacher. Give him large general culture
| if he will take it, and then let him lift his
burdens with his strongest arm, his con-
structive faculty.
But shall we give over trying to do
anything for the "high-tempered" child
Shall we let his passions run riot? Ger
tainly not. What we insist on is that
they can be regulated, but not eradicated.
There was near a city a crooked stream
that wandered round and round, obstruct.
ing travel and injuring the value of
property. Nobody dreamed of drying it
up. But the citizens straightened it, and
walled it in, and embarked against its
overflow, and cleared distractions from
its bed, and built mills upon its margin.
| The unDleasant trait in a child's character
may be walled by habits of self-control,
may be utilized by giving it a right di.
rection, may be made more blessing and
less a curse than it would be without
discipline. But it cannot be destroyed.
Education can 90 almost anything II
the sphere of habit. 1t can do little in
the sphere of ingrained quality. Power
less over nature, sovereign over SECOND
nature.-Hedrh and Home.

Skipping the Hard Points.

Bows, 1 want to ask you how you think
a conquerer would make out, who went
through country he was trying to sub
due, and whenever he found fort hard
to take, left it alone. Don't you think
the enemy would buzz wild there like bees
in hive, and when he was well into the
heart of the country, don't you fancy they
would swarm out and harass him terribly?
Just so, want you to remember, VIII
it be with you; if you skip over the hard
places in your lessons, and leave them
unlearned, you have left an enemy in
YOUR rear that will not fail to harrass you,
and mortify you times without number.
"There was just little bit of my Latin
I hadn't read" said a vexed student to
me, "and it was just there, the professor
had to call upon me at examination.
There were just two or three examples l
had passed over, and one of those / was
asked to do oD the blackboard"
The student who is not thorough is
never well at his ease; he cannot forget
the skipped problems; and the conscious
ness of his deficiencies makes him nervous
and anxious.
Never laugh at the slow, plodding
student; the time will surely come when
the laugh will be turned. 1t takes time
to be thorough, but it more than pays.
Resolve, when you take up new study
that you will go through with it like a
successful conqueror, taking every strong
point.
If the inaccurate scholars difficulties
closed with his school life, it might not
be so great matter for bis future career.
But he has chained to himself habit
that will be like an iron ball at his heel
all the rest of his life. Whatever he does,
will be lacking somewhere. He has learn
ed to shirk what is hard, and the hsbi.
will grow with years. Now nothing we
get in this life is to be had for nothing.
Success is not thrust upon a man. III
you want any good you must work for IT.
The eve that never falters and the nerve
that never quails, are the true elements of
victory in the mental and moral, as well
as the physical world. Don't skip the
hard Enthusiastically Visitor.

course of the whirlwind is as. plainly
marked as the swath of mower in hay
field. The branches of one-halt of some
of the trees are cut off as smoothly as
though done with knife, while those on
the other half remained untouched. In
some places the earth was swept bare OF
every particle of verdure, and as smooth
as though it had been burnt over.

Francis, the chief of a Carlist band,
recently executed a brilliant man9uvre.
He was being hotly pursued by the troops,
when Francis stopped the train which
was on its way to Reus, made all the
passengers get out, and installed his own
men very comfortably in their place.
The conductors could make no resist
ance, and the six hundred Carlists quietly
arrived at Reus, to the utter astonish-
ment of the inhabitants, who were ex-

Round the caldron sweat and sing,
In the unpleasant items fling.
In the pot the 'possun lnrow,
Breast of buzzarG, craw of crow,
Cherries ripe, and claws of crab

Anything on earth but Grant,

Stirthe monstrous mixture we'll,
Taste it often, never smell;

While our hopes of spoil absorb us.

WHEN John Adams was ninety years
of age, he was asked how he kept the
vigor of his faculties up to that age. He
replied: by constantly employing them:
The mind of an old man is like an old
horse; if you would get any work out OF
it you must work il all the time"

A seaIper Convicted.

This morning, in the Criminal Court,
G W. Lucas, notorious scalping hack
driver, indicted for swmdling and rob
bing one-legged man out Of ten dollars,
was placed on trial, committed, and SEN
fenced to FIVE years imprisonment in
the penitentiary.
The scalping fraternity in this city
have been carrying on their plundering
business fof several years, and il is a
source Of qualification to know that at
last one Of the brotherhood has been
brought to justice. There are at least a
dozen scalping hack drivers in
Memphis, who have been often ar
rested, but who have invariably
escaped punishment, owing to the
fact that the innocents robbed lived
in adjoining States and could not re-
main here TO prosecute. When arrested,
the friends Of the scalper" compro.
missed with the plundered individual and
induced him to leave the city Hereaf
ter the authorities will take measures tC
bring this race Of robbers to justice, and
when the penitentiary is the penalty the
scalpers " will be forced TO refrain
from plundering the travelling public
Let the scalping business be suppressed
Honest hack-driVers will then be relieved
from the disgrace brought upon them By
their unworthy brethren.

Politics and she Temperance Law.
CHICAGO, March IA dispatch re-
ceived yesterday from the State capital
says the political cauldron is very warm
there to-day. Many Liberal Republican
Germans are in town, and they will hold
a convention tomorrow to arrange for q
State organization, and have representa-
ton at Cincinnati. Politicians are very
anxious about this matter, and there are
persons here endeavoring to stop the
Liberal movement in the State in favor
of Davis, while others wish to secure all
the influence possible for Trumbull. 1t
ia rnmered to-day that Grant has made
advances towards q compromise, but
Governor Palmer seems doubtful.

ton Of brewers, liquor dealers and others

Of the law and to bring the question

TIVE RoR REFORM.

A special dispatch Of the 18th from
Washington to the Courier-Journal has
this important information;
There are some very important politi-
cal movements being inauguarated Just
now. Some Of the reform Repnbllcans
are very anxious that the CINCINNATI
convention shall endorse the candidates
for President and Vice. President recent
Iy nominated by the Labor Convention,
and for this purpose are here to ascer-
tain the views, and, IL possible, 10 secure
the cooperation of the reform Republi-
cans in Congress. A meeting for the
discussion of this important proposition
will be held early this week; thought IS
not probable that the result will be an
nounced before the Cincinnati conyen-
ton, when il will be laid before that
body. II is announced that large
number Of Democrats are in favor OF an
Endorsement of the Labor candidates
by the Democratic National convention,
and if that class of Democrats get the
controlling influence in the Democratic
it is believed that course will
be pursued. A prominent Democratic
Senator gave it as his opinion that the
only chance for the opposition to beat
Grant win be in the united action of the
three opposing parties. The Democrats
like Cox, Holman Niblack, Potter and
others are believed to favor the same
view. The Labor people will not sup
port Trumbull, on account of his oppo-
sition to the eight-hour law and other
measures. There is quite discussion
among them on the Columbus nomina-

PROGRESSION.

A farmer who would assume to stand
still in the old throw he had turned up,
and adhere to his old ideas of farming
when new improvements and discoveries
were manifesiing their advantages all
around him, should be written down as a
weak-minded brother. If the mechanic
should adhere to his old ideas of his
trade, When demonstration right in his
eyes, tells him that they are exploded,
he would be put down as either sim
pleton or bundle Of prejudice. The
agricultural world is moving the me-
chanical world is moving, and all the
world is moving. To stand in the old
ruts, though they be hallowed by expe-
rience and sacred to the memories OF
the past, is to be, in short, run
over and crushed by the rush OF events
If change in the machinery OF progress
is inevitable and if old fogyism in me
chanics, agriculture, law and medicine
cannot stand before the force OF the
progress that is revolutionizing the
world. how can the politician hope to
escape it? The war tossed politicians
into an indiscriminate mass, and when
they scrambled out some of the most
influential Democrats of the country
fell on the Radical side. Many of the
leading Radicals of the day were once
Democrats, and some who were Rspub-
Leans find themselves acting with the
Democracy. There is sort of chaos in
political matters, but still progression is
the order Of the day. Ii is not denied

THE Ku.KLux WAR AGAIN.

The Ku-Klux war has broken out
afresh in South Carolina. The Charles
ton News says some forty persons, many
of them old citizens, have been placed
in Jail within q week. The zeal of the
new United States Marshal has done
this work. 1t was rumored in the coun-
try that four hundred warrants had been
issued and were about to be served, and
as natural consequence the streets OF
Unionville are dec;.rted and business at
stand-still. Upon six or eight farms
near the courthouse all work is discon-
tinued and the hands have been dis
charged. Quiet and harmony prevailed,
and all classes were living in peace to-
gether. But the old sore is reopened,
and it is impossible to say when the peo-
pie will again risk money and time in
preparing their crops, from which they
may be torn away at any moment upon
the accusation Of the lowest scoundrels
in the State.
