DAILY HABITS~CHARACTER.

p
he daily habits Of every boy and
girl are materials with which they
arc building up their characters, and
every repetition strengthens them for
good or for evil. Justice, benevo-
lence, honor, integrity and self-con-
troll are no ephemeral blossoms that
a days sunshine can call into being,
and nights frost can wither and
Kill. 10 They grow slowly and develop
gradually, but once firmly rooted in
the ,lh heart and trained by constant
exercise they will prove sturdy,
healthful, long-lived plants, that will
bear rich and abundant fruit. It is
not enough to i tell the child what is
right; we must accustom him to love
its atmosphere. So with self-culture.
If we would become nobler and more
vlrtuous, We must habituate ourselv-
es to the constant exercise or pure
thoughts, generous affections, noble
and disinterested deeds, yl.ts,i,a.o

Story OF q Murderess.

Lizzie L. King, alias Kate Stoddard, now
in Brooklyn jail, charged with the murder
of Charles Goodrich, in March, 1873, has
published long statement Of what she
knows about the tragedy. She says that on
the night of Goodrich's death she retired
early. leaving him reading paper in the
diuingroom. She slept over two hours,
when she was awakened by the report of a
pistol. She dressed and ran down stairs,
and found Goodrich lying on the floor with
his own revolver near his feet. She thought
he had committed suicide, but subsequent
developments led her to believe that posi-
bly, he might have been murdered. Accord
ing to her story, no confession of murder
was ever made by her. She knows nothing
as to Luoette Meyers. She never saw her
until she appeared as witness in the case.

LIES GIANTS GLACES.o
IAN Anecdote of the Fronde, 1850. |

IAN Anecdote of the Fronde, l65o.I
Wrapped in smoke stood tine towers OF Rethel,.
The battle surged fierce by the town,
On terror, and struggle and turmoil,
The sweet skies OF Champagne looked down.
Far away smiled the beautiful uplands,
The blue VOsges lay solemn beyond;
Well France knew such discord OF color,
In the terrible days of the Fronde.
At the breach in the ramparts of Rethel
Each stone was bought dearly by blood,
For De Rssln was leading the stormers,
And Turenne on the battlt ments stood.
Again and again closed the conflict,
The madness of strife upon all,
Right well fought the ranks of the marshal,
Yet twice they fell back 10 the wall
Twice, thrice, repulsed. baffled and beaten,
They gla ed, when in gallant array,
Brave in gliding, and broidery, aid feather,
Inc Guards in reserve, watched the fray:
Z I'm avant; les giants glaces!" they shouted,
sc sulienly fearward they bore,
The gaps deep and wide in their columns,
The hnes ali dripping in gore.
At the ch1lleuge, the Household Brigade
Dressed ranks, foated standards, blew trumpets
And flashed out each gittering blade;
And carelessly, as to a banquet,
And j0yOusly as TO a dance
Where the Frondeurs in triumph were gathered
Went the best blood of Scotland and France.
The gay plumes were shorn as in tempest,
The gay scarves stained crimson and black
Storm of bullet and broadsword closed Ger them
Yetnever one proud foot turned back.
Though half of their number lay silent,
On the breach their last effort had won,
King Louie was master of Rethel
Ere the day and its story was done.
And the fierce, haunting cry grew proverb,
Ere revolt and its horrors were past;
For men knew. ere DER Frances fair valleys,
Peace waved her white banner at last,
That the softest tones in the boudoir,
The highest of steps in the "ronde,"
Was theirs whose keen swords bit the deepest
In the terrible days Of the Fronde.

Assassination of q Missionary in Mexico

Assassination of q Missionary in Mexico.
The Boston Traveller of the seventh says:
Il will be remembered that the American
board sent two young men to Guadalajara.
Mexico, in the autumn of 1872, to engage in
the missionary work in Jalisco. They have
beer much encouraged in their labors, and
it was recently decided that one of them,
Rev. j. l.. Stephens, should commence
operations in Ahualulco, about ninety miles
from the home of his associate. He had
been very active, and apparently successful
in his efforts, and, though there had been a
good deal of opposition, he wrote on the
thirty-tirst instant that it had entirely
ceased. But telegram received this tore
noon at the missionary rooms contains the
following sad announcement: march Q
Stephens assassinated in Ahualulco. Body
horribly mutilated." Thus has fallen a
noble young man at the beginning of most
hopeful endeayOr."

The River.

The Memphis Appeal of the thirteenth
says:
The Mississippi river at this point was on
a stand yesterday, which will be glad
tidings to countless readers. Below here
the river has overleaped the banks, and in
many places the levees have given way I'M
der pressure of the water, which has del
uged the bottoms and caused much dam
age to planters. Opposite this city, the
Arkansas bottom is flooded but we have
not heard Of any loss to property there. 1t
is hardly probable that the river will con.
tinue to rise, as it is now but sixteen or
seventeen inches below the high water
mark of 1867.

placing before the people of the State the
| two tickets which were run at the last cleo
| tion-tickets which we're in some respects
cheats, both to the different political par.
ties and to the people at large.
On the anti Republican side the thing re.
solved itselve into pure and simple Demo
cratic ticket, and very weak one at that.
John McEnery at the head was very weak
man before the people, mean those who
were expected specially to support him
because neither in point of ability nor poll
tical antecedents did he possess any rally
ing points; and particularly did his record
since the war drive off as per very force all
the cOlOred element. And the fact that this
ticket had on it one. very deeply dyed
African made the matter even worse, be-
cause the attempted cheat was too plainly
apparent. All the power and influence this
ticket carried or commanded. with John
McEnery at the head, was found in the
fact that it represented the played out
but still maddened and unrepent-
ant rebel element of the State-an ele-
ment strong in animosity and ability,
but very fortunately most gloriousIy
weak at the polls And the thinly disguised
fact that this ticket was purely an at
tempted cheat upon the people, in that it
was hidden effort to steal march upon
the Republican party, and get into power
by stealing from that party disafected
votes, made the movement still weaker
influenced and induced many honest
minded men who had before co-operated
with the Democratic party upon undis.

squarely with the Republican party: So it
is all mistake that any number Of Repub-
licans worth naming voted against their
party at the last election in this State, or
that Governor Warmoth welded any tell
ing influence in that respect. do candidly
believe that what was looked upon ~ his
treachery or infidelity strengthened the
