The ACCEPTED TrME.-Childhood is the
mothers accepted time" to teach her
children Her duty is with them, and
to them, and should not be shirked or
avoided Day by day the children are
growing and expanding; and, if the food
they crave is not given them by their
mother, they will get it elsewhere and
will soon be away from her influence.
Childhood's days, if they have been
spent thus proftably, in time to come,
will be to them as we'll of living water,
from which they will drink deep and be
refreshed, though now it may almost
seem like water poured on the ground
they seem SO needless of your advice
and admonitions. How can they ap-
pear but Indifferent? They know not
the value of her teachings, they cannot
know now; but the mother knows and
cannot escape the guilt if she does not
fortify them against coming RESPONSE
bility and care by words Of wisdom
that in due time will ripcn into golden
sheaves, whether she lives to see itor not.

may disquiet an entire family for a
whole day. One surly glance casts a
gloom over the household; while smile,
! like a CLEAN of sunshine, aylightup the
darkest and weariest hours. Like I'M
expected flowers which spring up
along our path, full of freshness, fra
GRANGE and beauty, so the kind words,
and gentle acts and sweet dispositions,
make glad the home where peace and
blessing dwell. No matter how humble
the abode, if it be thus garnished with
grace and sweetness, with kindness and
smiles, the heart will turn laughingly
toward it from all the tumults of the
world, and home, if it be ever SO home
ly, will be the dearest spot beneath the
circuit of the sun.
And the influences of home perpetu-
ate themselves. The gentle grace of
the mother lives in her daughters long
after her head is pillowed in the dust
of earth; and fatherly kindness finds its
echo in the nobility and courtesy of sons
WHO come to wear his mantle, and to
fill his place; while on the other hand,
from an unhappy, misgoverned and dis.
ordered home, go forth persons who
shall make other homes miserable, and
perpetuate the sourness and sadness,
the contentious, and strites and ratings,
which have made thcir.own early lives
SO wretched and distorted
Toward the cheerful home the chill
dren gather "as clouds and as doves to
their windows" while from the home
which is the abode Of discomfort, and
strife, and trouble, they fly forth as vul-
lures to rend their prey.
The class of men that disturb and
disorder, and distress the world are not
those born. and nurturcd amid the hall

rather those whose early life has been
u scene of trouble and vexation, who
have started wrong in the pilgrimage,
and whose course is one Of disaster TO

Anglo-saxon language means good and
the Specification affords singular tcsti-

goodness itself, and the author of all

as it may appear, is perhaps less re-.
markable than the fact that the word

TWAS NONE OF HIS FUNERAL.

A western paper tells story of 6
deaf gentleman's mistake. 1t. seems
that in the procession that followed Dea
con Jones to the grave last summer
the Rev. Mr. Sampler, the new clergy
man Of East Town, found himself in the
same carriage with an elderly man he
had never before met They rode in
grave silence for few moments, when
the clergyman endeavorcd to improve
the occasion by serious conversation.
"This is a solemn duty in which we
are engaged, my friend" he said:
"Hey? What do you say, sir?" the
old man returned. Cant you speak
louder? Pm hard of hearin'w
81 was remarking," shouted the cler-
gyman. "that this is solemn road we
are travelling to-day"
SANDY road! You don't call this ERE
sandy, do We? Guess you amt been
down to the South deestrict- There's a
stretch of road on the old pike that
beats all | ever see for travelin'. Only
a week before Deacon Jones was tux
sick, met him drivin' his ox-team along
there, and the sand was pretty nigh up
to the hubs of the wheels. The Deacon
used to get dreadful riled bout that
piece of road; and East Town does go
ahead Of all creation for sand"
The young clergyman looked blank at
the unexpected turn given to his remark;
but quickly recovering himself, and
raising his voice to the highest pitch,
he resumed the conversation.
"Our friend here has done with all
the discomforts of EARTH he said sol
EMMY. "a small spot of ground will
soon cover his senseless clay"
did you say clay, sir?" cried the old
man, eagerly Giant nigh so good TO
cover sand with as medder loan. SEE

If you cart on a few dozen loads-and
there's acres of it on the river bank,
SEE YOU'D make as pretty piece of
road as there is in Hartford county,
But we are slow folks in East Town, sir"
Ii was, perhaps, fortunate for the
clcrgymana at that moment that the smell
of ncw-madc hay from neighboring
field suggested fresh train of thought

A GRAVE MISTAKE.
A CORPSE MISSING AT A FUNERAL
From the Newark, On. j. Regi,

From the Newark IN. j. Register.l
Yesterday three carriage loads O
mourning friends went to Market street
depot with hearse to receive the body
of colored man, named William White
who had died in New York and was tc
be buried in Woodland Cemetery
They inquired of the baggage master
if he had received a coffin from New
York; he replied that he had, and
pointed to one which had been placed
in the baggage-room awaiting q claim.
ant. Mr.. Durham, the undertaken, al
once lifted the coffin, which was in.
closed in burial case, and with the
assistance of his driver placed it in the
hearse. The funeral train then pro,
ceeded slowly and decorously to the
cemetery, where it was ascertained that
the grave had not yet been dug. While
the grave-digger was at work the box
was brought reverently to the grave
side, and the circle of mourners stood
round with their heads bowed, while
the minister of the gospel recited the
burial service. He feelingly alluded to
the loved one whose body lay stiff and
cold in the box beside them. He extoll-
ed his virtues and tenderly smoothed
over the faults The weeping relatives
wiped theireyes and felt that they would
gladly change places with the dead to
be so mourned At last the moment ar
rived when the box must be raised from
the ground and lowered into the cold,
dark tomb. 1t was moment of awful
suspense. The experienced hand of the
grave-digger, however, felt that the box
was unusually light for so large body
ard asked was it child they were
burying. "Oh no." they said, "he was
a full-grown man. There certainly is
something wrong, then" he replied,
"this coffin is too light, there is nothing
in it." Immediately the sorrowing cir
Gle closed around the grave, and it was
decided to open the box at all hazards.
The tears were dried in eyes that now
almost popped out of their owners
heads in the anxiety to see what this
awful mystery meant The lid was
raised, and behold the box was empty.
For a moment not word was said,
each man looked at his neighbor with
blanched checks and quivering lips, but
when he attempted to speak his tongue
Glove te>the roof of his mouth At last
one with more practical common sense
than the rest stopped down and exam
ined the lid, to which was attached a
small card. why" exclaimed he, this
box is not addressed to Mr.. Durham; it
is marked for w. V. Vrceland.r Here,
then, was solution of the mystery.
They had taken the wrong box. At
this, not even the solemnity of the oc-
casion nor the presence of an open
grave could prevent the burst of mer-
riment that followed the discovery, and |
the entire group-pastor, gravc-digger
and mourners-joined in hearty laugh
at the mistake. The coffin they had
taken from the depot was for Coroner
Vreeland's establishment, large por-
ton of his stock being manufactured
in New York and sent out to him.

AM | AMn, OR AN | NOT AMm?-The
greatest case of political uncertainty is
told of a prominentpolitician of Illinois.
One day the politician is strong Re-
publican; the next he graduates as full
fedged Liberal; the third he doesn't
know how it is himself. In fact he be-
came so uncertain in reference to his
political status not long since, that he
referred the question to some of his
friends, on the principle of the old lady
who thought her dog would be certain
to know whether she was herself or not
IF bel.
He'll wag his little tail;
But If be not /.
He'll bark and wall"
In fact the indecision of more than
one of the prominent politicians of the
day "a great deal like that of one Ammi,
who used to get on bender now and
then, at which time he was unable to
tell whether he was himself or some
one else, and was overheard on one oc-
casion, soliloquizing thusly: "Am |
Ammi, or am not Ammi? If | am
Ammi, then | am Ammi; but if | am not
Ammi, then who the ID am I?'
The connundrum was too hard for
the listeners, and they gave it up.
