4 Eeathen's Idea.

The Virginia City (Nev) Enterprise
relates the following: : ''Riding along
trail on the crest Of a mountain ridge
east Of the Lower Sink OF the Carson,
in 1860, in company with Piute Cap
itan, we came upon an old grave-a
mere sunken spot a few feet off the
trail. There, said the Captain, there
lies one of my men. He was a good
man. We buried him there four years
ago Said we, Is he in there yet ?
No. said the brave, pointing upward,
'he is in Pah-ah's country. 'Now,
said we, wishing to draw out his no
tions in regard to the Immortality of
the soul, now, suppose We were to dig
there, should We not find the skull of
your man--his thigh bones and his
ribs 2 Yes, answered the Indian :;
we should find these Then how
can he be III the Pah-ah country 2
His bones, his skull and ribs and all
his bones are here, sand the Captain,
'but his dream is above with Pah-ah.' =

The FUTURE-'.The future is al
ways fairylahd to the young, Life Is
like beautiful winding lane; on eth
er side bright flowers, and beautiful
butterflies and tempting fruits, which
we scarcely pause to admire and to
taste, so eager are we 20 hasten to an
opening which we imagine will be more
beautiful still. But, by degrees, as
we advance, the trees grow bleak, the
flowers and butterflies fail, the fruits
disappear, and we find we have arrived
at a desert waste, in the center of a
stagnant and Lethean lake, over which
wheel and shrek the dark-winged birds
and embodied memories of the past"

-WHAT PARENTS WANT OF
Schools One of our most distinguish
ed teachers says that in the case of
two thousand or move boys who have
passed under his care, no parent has
ever forgiven him If he said, ''Y our
boy is not quick OR bright; but he is
thoroughly pure, and true, and good. "
They did not forgive him for saying
50, because he took it FOR granted that
the goodness could be attained in any
odd hour or SO but the brightness or
quickness seemed Of much larger i'm
portance. On the other hand, if the
teacher said, '3Your boy learns every
lesson, and recites it we'll; he is at the
head of his class, and will take any
place he chooses in any school," nine
parents, he says, out of ten, are salts
fed, though he should have to add,
Il wish | was as sure that he was
honest, pure, and unselfsh But in
the truth, the other boys do not like
him; and [ am afraid there is some

Nations, like individuals. interest
US in their birth and early growth :
every motion, however irregular; seems
to US natural graceful; an Indication
of vigor or intelligence. For some
time afterward, the sallies of forward
ness and of passion are not only for
given in them, but applaunded and adj
mired. Soon, however, what we fan
cied pleasing popularity, becomes an
awkwardness and uncouthness what

MARRIED lice AND JOURNALIST


Our recent leading editors have all
been married men this, too in spite
of the pressing nature of their engage
ments, which so continually distract
matrimonial life. How they found
time for courtship is surprising. Gree
ley married a school teacher, with
whom he got acquainted at his board
ing-horise. She went South to teach,
and they corresponded but how any
woman could decipher his handwriting
is a wonder. Bennett was the most
repulsive man, as to his face, | ever
saw. The woman who could say she
loved him must have been strangely
fascinated with concrete and hideous
ugliness, but still he got wife, whom
he allowed $4,000 a year to travel
with, and thus a large part Of their
matrimonial life was spent. David
Hale, formerly of the Journal Of Com
merce, was very able editor, and was
the best exponent Of Yankee character
in this city of his day. His wife was
one Of the most remarkable h0usekeep-
ers on record, and, while he was in a
successful career, she voluntarily open
ed a large and fashionable boarding
house, which was well known as "Mrs.
Hale S. This was kept up for many
years, and was a popular resort for
frst-class families. Henry J. Ray
mond left widow and a family. His
son is now young man who has not
thus far displayed any Of his fathers
genius. Manton Marble, Of the World,
lost his wife a few years ago, and if
be married again l have not heard of
the event. Hugh Hastings, Of the
Commercial, is not only married, but
has children in the same happy condi-
ton. One would not think this from
his countenance, but probably he start
ed married life at an early year. The
late n. ?. Willis, who, as literary
man. was more successful in journalism
than in book making, was married
twice and left widow. Willis was
one Of the most selfish and soulless of
mankind, and despite his pretty poetry,
his career was one of cunceit and
heartlessness. In this respect his
character is very unenviabIe. Among
our young journalists it may be said
that Louis Jennings, the admirable
managing editor of the Times, is mar
ried, while James Gordon Bennett and
Whitelaw Reid are still in bachelor
hood. If any woman marries an edi
tor she should at first consider whether
she has a call to this peculiar sphere.
They say it requires a peculiar charac-
ter to be minister's wife, er the wife
of a physician. Heaven knows that
it also requires peculiar character to
succeed as an editors wife, but [ am
not going to describe the character at
present.-Ctncinnnti Gazette.
