MANNERS. Manners are more important than
money. A boy who is polite and pleasant in
his manners, will always have friends, and will
not often make enemies. Good behavior is es-
sential to prosperity. boy feels well when
he does well. If you wish to make everybody
pleasant about you, and gain friends wherever
you 60, cultivate good manners. Many boys
have pleasant manners for company, and ugly
manners for home.
We visited a small railroad town not long
since, and were met at the depot by little boy
of about eleven or twelve years, who entertain
ed and cared for US, in the absence of his faith
err, with as much polite attention and thought
iul care as the most cultivated gentleman
could have done. We said to his mothor before
we left her home, "You are greatly blessed in
your son, nc is so attentive and obliging."
eyes" she said :-"I can always depend on
Charley when his father is absent. He is a
great help and comfort to me-" She said this
ss if it did her heart good to acknowledge the
cleverness of her son.
The best manners cost so little, and are worth
so much, that every boy can have them.-Chit-
dren's Aduocate.

FAILURES IN SoCIETY.-Society is full of fail
ures that need never have been made full of
Elen who have never succeeded, when they
might have and should have succeeded full
of women who, in the first half of their days,
did nothing but eat and sleep and simper, and
in the last half have done nothing but perpet-
sate their follies and weaknesses. The world
is full, say, of such people, full of men in
every trade and profession who do not amount
to anything, and of girls and women without
any trade or profession, who have no desire to
amount to anything; and 1 do not speak irrev-
erently, and l trust not without due charity,
without making due allowance to the inevita-
BILE in life, when l say that God and thoughtful
men are weary of their presence. Every boy
ought to improve of his father; every girl grow
into nobler, gentler, more self denying wo-
manhood than the mother. No reproduction of
former type will give the world the perfect
type. I know not where the millennium is, as
measured by distance of time, but do know,
and SO do you all, that it is great way off as
measured by human growth and expansion
We have no such men and women yet-no age
has ever had any-as shall stand on earth in
that age of peace that will not come until men
are worthy of it.-Rep w. II. II. Murray.

"FG1'3le for SAFE" !"


From the Hearth and Home.
A sweet home place, and l turned to look
again. An old farm cottage among the trees,
the hazy hush of summer over all; the gleam-
ing sunlight drifting through the leaves, rest
ing in golden patches on the grass and blossom
ing clover, tossing the shadows hither and
thither. A sweet voiced bird chirped in the
maple by the gate as we passed and the pale
lips of locust blossom, peered forth from leafy
in tiny seas, and the dancing footsteps of a
little stream left cleaning line across the low
green meadow. A beautiful home farm.
"FARM FOR SALE"
Yes, these were the words in rough chalk
letters above the gate, "Farm for sale" Why
sell the farm? Have hands grown tired of
plough and sickle and hoe, hearts wearied with
oft returning seed time and harvest? Has am
bition cast her apple of discord in the midst of
your sweet content, whispering of riches and
honors and splendors Jared in upon the heart
music? Have visions of yellow gold and the
worlds proud shows shadowed with their de-
lusive wings the simple hopes, the every day
happiness which blesses the little farm? All is
there grave Death has cut deep down through
the blossomng sod, ploughing up grave so
deep, so chill, so dark, that from its shadow
your heart can be lifted never more? Has she
the dearest, most blessed-even the home
out from those gentle eyes-the light of that
soil, the embodiment of love and peace, and
faith and patience-has it passed on to the
awaiting glory Isit thy desolation, oh Death,
that has compelled the EARN for sale?"
All how many EARNS for sale ?" and with
what longings will hearts that go out from
these farm homes crowned with joy, turn back
from the summit ofmany years to look upon the
dead face of that old-time joyousness, wonder
ing at the strange happiness of the farm child ;
wondering that never more is sky so blue, never
sunshine so gorgeous, never earth so full of mu-
sic as before that EARN for SALE" How will
tired feet pause, mid the dust of life's high
ways, aching to press the whispering grass be-
meath the locusts, and hands hard with count
ing gold pine to pull again the violets down by
the valley spring How will heads grdled by
thorns of care, rest again in dreams on the soft
moss, swept SO oft by child curls in the long
ago, and hearts, weary hearts, and longing
souls will pause in the great world strife to
catch again the far off laughter of those waters
in the meadows, and the singing of the bird
lings in the naples And how will eyes grow
tear-dmmed in this far seeing, as a vision
sweeps by, revealing above the little gate,

PETITION FOR THE RELEASE ~
PICKETT.
The annexed petition was circulated
in San Francisco a few days ago.:

Inc nex petition was clfcuiaseu
in San Francisco a few days ago:
To the Honorable the Supreme Court
of California: Your petitioners, citi-
xeits Of California, considering that
Charles z. Pickett has been imprisoned
for four months in the County Jail for
an act of contempt of your Honorable
Court, hat his otfeu>e was actuated by
an error of judgment and not by mai
Ice; that he supposed he would render
q service tn the public, not tn himself;
that no injury WAS done by him TO any
person, aud that no material obstruc-
ton WAS offered To the administer ration
of justice, respectfully pray that your
Honors will order his release from
further punishment.
Pickett is an eccentric individual who
has lived in San Francisco for mahy
years. He claims to be a Kind of
prophet, and some people have grave
doubts of his sanity. The Alta be-
lieves that nine-tenthS of the voters OF
California would take pleasure in sign
ing that petition if it were offered to
them, and would even 20 out of their
way to get the privilege of signing.
Net a newspaper in the State has COM
mended the sentences; many have con-
demned lis severity. Pickett was sen
fenced to pay a fine of 81. 900 or be
imprisoned 800 davs-one wear. four
months and a half-and as he had not
the money he has still a year to serve.
His punishment is as severe as that
usually inflicted on burglars and high.
way robbers. His otfen>e was a venial
n at the worst. Before the court had
been declared open he sat down in the
chair of one of the Justices-who, in
the opinion of several ex-Ju>tices OF
the Court. and many other able law
yers, has no right to the place-and he
was elected by force before the court
was formally open. No act of that
kind is a contempt, unless committed
in open court: bat the Supreme Court
disregarding the law and taking adj.
vantage Of their power. declared thai
it was a contempt of Court, and sem
fenced Pickett Ia pay a fine OF five
hundred dollars or be imprisoned two
hundred and fifty days. Thereupon
he said he detied them. and they sen
fenced him to a like fine, and in case of
on-payment, to be imprisoned for a
like term after the expiration OF the
preceding term. His defiance was an
undonbted contempt; but it was .justi-
fled by the Illegal act of the Court in
=condemning him for an act not made
punishable by law; and the Alto noti-
aes the Court if they persist in hold
ing Pickett a prisoner lor the fun term
of five hundred days, they will ac-
cumulate against themselves a popular
prejudice that will not expire SO long
as they may live.

BCTL.ER.

Benjamin is evidently disguised. He
has been making a speech already
since the assembling Of Congress. He
IS disposed to find fault with both OF
the old parties. In his recent speech he
delared that the Republican party has
become a party with the bondhoiders
and monopoli>ts at it's head and the
negro at its tail. The Democratic party.
he said, has come to this, that its head
is made up of old Wing bondholders
and its tail of Irishmen, with no atfili-
alton between head and tail. Butler
ought to start a party of his own. An
exchange advises him so train with the
Independents, but he is not likely to
do it. He understands too well the
buttered side of his bread. He cares
nothing about principle. Success, with
him, is the only orthodox religion.
Butler will not unite with the indie
pendents. TIE chances of success are
entirely too slim in hat organization
to meet his views of right and wrong.
