count. If in renewing the contract
with any of my employees they find

sire them to bear the fact in mind

HAPPY -GO-LUCKY.
By GEORGE COOPER.

Happy-Go-Lucky has checks rosy red,
Ten times day he will stand on his

Happy-GO-Luckey is brimful of fun,
Up IN the morning as soon as the sun,
Sliding on banisters all the way down,
Playing at circus and humping. his
crown.
When he has shocked all the house with
alright,
or he goes, screaming with delight.
Happy y-Go-Lucky climbed up tree,
just to look round and see what he
could see.
Crack went the bOugh! Such terrible
fall
Didn't hurt Happy -Go-Lucky at all!
May be the fairies, with some potent
charm,
Because he's 50 cheerful, have kept
him from harm.
Mother so wishes that he would be still,
Only for once; but the rogue never will.

Asks in TO dinner each beggar he meets :;

Young man the bitterest. failure that

that all men are thieves. II. youl
ever become conscious of a decent
emotion-to which weakness, alasl
most of us arc liable at odd mo-
ments-crush it out with a little
imprOmptu blackguardism or drown
it in horn of whisky. Make fun

and never think-because it is dan
gerous-how much she has done for
You. Cheat your father, and bOr-

these things and whatever else is
vile and worthless that shall suggest

4 week or two ago a family named
Woodstock arrived in this city from
Westchester New Ysrk, intending
to settle In the State, and accepted
the invitation Of an old acquain-
tance residing on Russell street, to
stop for week or two urtil they
had decided where to locate. Not
being suited with the city, Wood
stock took a trip to the inferior and
purchased 8 farm in Berrien county.
He came back Saturday night,
and the family would have left Mon
day only for the occurrence of j
sad affair due to the Puritanical
ideas and hard heartedness of the
father.
The youngest of the children is a
boy four years old, who, being a pet
was allowed to sleep with his pa
rents. Sunday night. the Wood
stocks, desiring to 60 to church, an
effort was made To get the hoy TO 90
to bed with the older brother. Hewas
frightened and timid and made
great opposition, SAYING that he
was afraid Of bears a1d wolves. =
The opposition irritated the father.
and he declared he would not go to
church, and Charlie should 90 to
sleep in that bed. As the child
kept teasing and cryiag. the older
one was made to get up and sleep
elsewhere. This did not help mat
ters, of course, and then Woodstock
told the boy he would lock the door
and leave him in the dark if he dit
not cease crying. Frightened fur
ther, the boy continued crying and
beseeching, and Woodstock did as
he said he would.
The boy screamed at the toD Of
his voice for a few minutes, beat on
door, and entreated to be taken ont,
but the father was as unIelcnting
as rock The walls gradually
died away, the lad ceased to shout,
and after half an hour the door was
opened. He was not found asleep
as expected, but he was crouehed
down in q corner. his feet drawn up
under him, and it took only a mo-
ment to convince the parents that
the boy had been rendered lunatic
or ar idiot. He laughed and talked
to himself, did not reply to 4 ques-
ton, gave no one any notice, and
when the mother realized what had
occurred she tainted away. Every
effort was made by the friends to
bring the boys reason back, but all
failed. He would not speak, gave
the other children no notice, but
wanted to roll round on the floor
and play with spools and sticks. A
physician was called in Monday and
two more on Tuesday, but all agreed
that the boys re; son had heen atfec-
ted by the fright, and that h , might
be an idiot for the rest of his days.
The circumstance has nearly broken
the mothers heart, and the father
carries q conscience which any Grim
inal short OF murder would not en-

How Fame Yanishes.

Mr.. II. Ramsdell writes the follow.
ing concerning Admiral Wilkes;
"A few days ago, 1 happened IN at
one of the handsome committee
rooms of the Capital, where three or
four clerks. a messenger Oh. two, one
or two loafers, and perhaps two or
three CoBgTessmen, were Willing
away a haii-hour or so. They were
smoking, laughing aud storytelling
While a peal of laughter at some
joke was out, the door opened and
an old man entered the room. His
form was shrunk and bent, his eyes
Observation-Disclosures, his face withered
and pinched, and his hair half gray.
His under jaw hung down and his
lips were uncIosed. His dress mere
" ordinary, inclined to shabiness.
His head was covered with a fatigue
cap. navy pattern, with an unusually,
wide visor or forepiece. No atten
ton was paid to- the old gentleman.
He approached one of the young
men: and removing his cap asked
for certain info-mati0u a polite
answer was given, but no unusual
attentioa was paid to the old gentle
man, and he tottered out of the room.
His coming and his going excited

stance for people of all grades and
ages TO make inquiries IN that room.
and such as go there are answered
courteously, but briefly There was
nothing unusual in this case, only /
happened to know the old man
He is only another Of the cases that
every day occur to remind us of the
mutability of human affairs. See
what a change is here. Ten years
ago the world was ringing with this
mans name. It Was shouted from
the West Indias; it thrilled from the
West and the East it was born
across the Atlantic, taken up in
Great Britain and echoed across the
channel into France. Returning it
resounded from the Potomac to the
Gulf of Mexico, and was
cheered ~ hundreds Of thousands
of soldiers who were camped about
this city: Songs were sung for him;
addresses were made to hin; his
picture was for sale at newspaper
stands: the press teemed with his
praise; the government honored
him, the boys in the streets took
their hats off to him; he was the lion
everywhere, in the streets, at the
hoteb in society, at church; -wberev-
er be-went, everybody did homage
to him. Now, see the change?-
there are NOW none so poor to do
him reverence -

A wife S Power.

The power of a wife, for good or
evil, is irresistible. Without one,
home must be forever unknown.
A good wife is to a man wisdom,
courage and strength; q bad one is
confusion, weakness and despair
No condition is hopeless to a man
where the wife possesses frmness,
decision and economy. There is no
outward prosperity which can coun-
ter net Incidence, extravaganza and
folly at home. No spirit can long
endure bad influence. Man is strong,
but his heart is not adamant. He
delights in enterprise and action,
but to sustain him he needs a tran
quill mind; and especially if he is an
intellectual man, with whole head,
he needs his moral forces in the con-
fiicts of life. To recover his com
pOsure, home must be a place of
peace, OF comfort. There his soul
renews its strength and goes forth
with fresh vigor to encounter the
labor and troubles of life. But If at
home he finds no rest, and is there
met with bad temper, sullenness,
jealousy and gloom, or is assailed by
complaints and censure, hope van
ishes and he sinks into dispair.
Such is the case with too many who,
it might seem, have no conflicts or
trials of life; for such is the wife's
power.

How to be an Editor.

A good editor must combine the
loquacity Of a magician with the
impudence Of the devil. He must
know how to time a horse race,
teach a Sunday school. preach q
charity sermon, run a saw mill, keep
hotel, and brew whisky. He must
be insensible to the cruelest snubs
and manifest no sense of anger
when kicked down stairs. He must
throw mOdesty to the dogs, and let
the tigers howl. But above al
things else, he must be an adept at
putting. He must be enthusiastic
on the subject of hams, verbose in
extolling hardware, and highly inn
aginative in the matter OF dry goods.
He must talk Iearnediy OF pro
grammes. with a liberal mixture of
glowing words. he must be heavy
on a concert, with a capacity te aP-
preciate Miss Squak's execution OF
difficult feats on a quarter note anil
ecstatlc and eloquent in behalf OF
every one connected with it.

Remedy for Wounds.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman gives the following RENE
dy for painful wounds;
Take a pan or shovel, with burn-
ing Goals, and sprinkle upon them
brown sugar, and hold the wound
ed part over the smoke. In few
minutes the pain win be allzyed,
and recovery proceed rapidly. In
my own case a rusty nail bad made
a bad wound in the bottom of my
foot. The pain and nervous irrita-
tion were severe. This was all re-
moved by holding it in tAe smoke
for fifteen minutes, aud I was able
to resume my reading IN comfort.
We have often recommended it to
others with like results. Last week
one of my men had a finger nail
torn ont by q pair of ice tongs. 1t
became very painful, as was to have
been expected. Held in sugar
smoke for twenty minutes the pain
ceased, and it promises speedy re-
cOvery.

Woman's Power for Good and
Evil,

One gifted and beautiful woman,
if wrongly disposed, can work more
evil ia society, can scatter mt re
seeds Of corruption and death, than,
with their utmost efforts, a score of
men. Her capabilities for good in
the different departments of morals
are equally great. and in such pro
portion to her powers, both for
good and evil, must be her con
demnation, if she is false to her hO-
ly stewardship. Society cannot lie
destroyed if woman is true, nor
saved if woman is false. Besides,
society shows no unequal dlscrimi
nation in regard to this par
particular class of offences. The
rule applies to all. A profane wo-
man, q drunken woman, a female
thief or murderer excites always a
greater horror and disgust than if
the crime had been committed by a
man. And this is right, and it will
be an evil day for this world when
woman in her sin excites no more
abhorance than man.
