Acts and ThOughts.

1t is not acts which blacken the
soul; it is not conduct which de
stroys. These are but the holes
which the worms, bred in the very
fiber of the wood, have eaten. These
are but the fruit and visible witness
of a disease which holds the entire
body in its power, making the veins
its channels, every drop of blood its
servant every pulsation of the heart
its salve. The thoughts destroy.
The imagination puts the knife's
edge to the jugular vein of virtue,
and lets the precious current out.
You cannot reform a dTunkard uu-
less you first reform his mind.
What needs to be done is to have
the craving for stmulants taken
out of him. Over against his inor-
dinate desire you must raise up
some stronger repulsion, which
shall be more than 4 match for his
appetite for liquor. This is the
true philosophy in every branch of
morals. You must change the man
himself if you woul change his
habits. There is no life so hard as
relig3on-life to man without rcli-
gion.

LOVE, HOPE AND MEMORY.

One summers eve as l recIfned
Within fairy bower,
Striving in vain to while away
a weary, tedious hour,
There came three laughing merry
friends,
a happy company,
Three cheerful, merry friends they were
Love, Hope and Memory.
A year passed by, I sought the bower
Where [ before had lain,
1 hoped that those same happy friends
Might visit me again.
Love and Memory were there,
But they seemed sick and sad.
And when l asked for cheerful Hope
They told me it had fed.
Another year had passed away,
Again l sought that spot,
Memory was there, l waited long
But Love and Hope came not.
asked of Memory where they we're
He sadly shook his head,
lie said bright hope had ne'er returned,
And that young Love was dead.
\ dozen summers passed away,
Still Memory was there,
And though l never saw him smile,
lie still seemed fresh and fair.
L asked Him why He was unchanged
a tear stood in his eye;
He said though Memory might be sad
Yet it could never die.
The warmcst Love may die away
And brightest Hope take wings,
Memory still the tTuest friend
To dark misfortune elings;
And though perhaps it may recall
Scenes that were best forgot,
1t on the barren withered heart
Shows many a bright green spot.

CBre for a FeIon.

Many persons are liable to ex-
treme suffering from felons on the
finger. These atilictiOns not unfre
quently occasion permanent Grip
ping of the members affected. The
following simple prescription is rec
commended as a cure for the dis
tressing ailment:
Take common rock salt, such as is
used for sailing down pork or beef,
dry it in an oven, then pound it fine
and mix it with spirits Of turpentine
in equal parts. Put it on rag and
wrap it a-ound the parts affected,
and as it gets dry put on more; and
in twehty-iour hours we are cured
the felon will be dead. 1t win do
no harm. try it.-Journal Of -Agrieul-

The Bedford Bulletin has the fol
lowing account of terrible affair
in Lincoln county on the 9th inst:
Near Glidewen,s, on Elk Ridge,
there lives a family by the name of
Freeman. One OF the family, by
the name Isaac, was almost an idiot
and subject to fits. At times he
was dangerous, and the family had
to watch him closely; at others he
was harmless, and the family paid
but little attention to his eccentrici-
ties. On Monday last he showed
signs of violence, and the family
we're compelled to watch his move
ments, not only to prevent harm to
them but TO himself by night he
appeared better and went to bed, ap-
parently easy and all right. about
two O'Clock, however, he arose from
his bed, rushed in TO his mothers
room, and was doing his best to kill
her. She managed however, to
arouse the the rest of the children.
and her younger son Fraze, aged
about fifteen, rushed to the rescue.
When he reached where the scuffie
was going on between his mother
and his idiotic brother, he found his
mother choked near to death. See
ing the situation, he first tried to
persuade his brother to let mother
alone;' but his persuasions were of
no effect. Determined to save his
neither, the noble boy siezed a roll
ling pin and struck his brother a
terrible, and Immediately fatal blow
on the head. His brothers hand re-
Iinquished its grasp upon the moth
er's throat, and the would-he-mur-
derer fell dead. We regret the Oc-
currence, and have only the facts as
they were told to US. That the boy
did right no one will question.

''They Say" he spends all his money
On women, and horses and wine:
''They Say" how truly / know not,
His wife does not dare to repIne;
''They Say" she never did love him,
But l do not say so, my friend!
''They Say' she now loves another!

"They Say" he often has told her
He wished he was single again!

Economy in a FamiIr-

| Theae is nothing which goes further
towards placing young hoasekeep-
ers beyond the reach Of poverty,
than a welldesigaed system of econ

much for his kitchen or the parlor,

mOre,' - like the horse leeche's
daughter, until he that has provided
has no more to give.
It is the husbands duty to bring
into the house, and it is the duty Of
the wife to see that nothing goes
wrongfully out of it-nOt tile least
article, however unimportant in it
self-to establish a precedent; nor
under. any pretence, for it opens a
door for ruin to walk in, and this
seldom leaves an opportunity unim,
proved. a man gets wife TO look
after his affairs, and assist him in his
journey through life, and not dist
pate his property. The husband 5
interest should be the wife S care,
and her greatest ambition should
carry her no further than his vel

that 0fhis children. a.tss r.r
This should he. her sole aim, and
the theatre of hen" exploits in the
bosom of her family, where she may
do as much toward making 3 fortune
as he can do in the workshop, on
the farm, OF in the eounting-room.
1t is not the money earned that
makes a man wealthy; it is what he
really save from his earnings. A
good and prudent husband makes
the deposit Of the fruits of his labor
with his best friend; and if that
friend be not true to him, what has
he to hope for? If he dare not
place confidence in the friend of his
bosom, where is he to place it?

what to do about the matter.

Farmers who grow clover seed
are recommended by a writer in the
Rural World to sow the seed in the
chaH without hulling, since 1t is ac-
tually worth more and will bring q
better crop than the same quantity
Of seed will if hulled. He says
many of the. seeds are injured by
hullmg, and the chaf is a protection
to the young and tender plants.

A good joke is told of a young
man who attended a social circle.
The conversation turned on Cali
fornia and getting rich. Tom re
marked that if he was in California
he would, instead of working in the
mines, waylay some rich man who
had n bag full of gold, and skedad-
die. One of the young ladies quiet
ly replied that he had better gather
up the brains, as he evidently stood
more in need Of that article than
gold. Tom subsidized.

The Columbus (Ohio) Journal is
inaccurate when it says that, in ac-
cepting Horace Greeley, we are set
ting our face against the teachings
of our whole life. Goodwill and
peace have entered largely into our
scheme of political existence, and
at this time they ferrn-the chief
need of the South. They are repre-
sented by Horace Greeley more di-
Iectly and exactly than by any
living American. His tariff no.
lions do not disturb US, because
Congress will settle the tariff. His
anti-slavery record does not dis
turb us, because slavery is dead.
