THE Marietta Silver Cornet Band
has been reorganized with corps of
musicians comprising the best talent
of the city. They have commenced
practicing and are making excellent
progress. Most of the members be-
longed to the old band and conse-
quently they experience but little
difficulty in making ''sweet sounds"
There are only two married men in
the band, but as a "little leaven
leaveneth the WHOLE" we may cons
fidently expect to see them all mar
ried before the close of the year, for
when they get to playing in the

charming music will be irresistible.

"blowing" 6Dw, it is not necessary
for us to "blow" for them. Success

A Word to Mothers.

Each mother is historian She
writes not the history OF empires or oi
nations on paper, but she writes her
own history on the imperishable mind
OF her child. That tablet and that his
tory will remain indelible when time
shall be no more. That history each
mother shall meet again, and read with
eternal JOY or unutterable grief in the
coming ages of eternity. The thought
should weigh on the mind of every
mother, and render her deeply crcum-
spsct, prayerful and faithful in her sol
emn work of training up her children
for heaven and immortality.
The minds of children are very sus-
cepuble and easily impressed. A word,
a look, a frown, may engrave an impress
sion on the mind of a child which no
lapse Of time can efface or wash out
You walk along the seashore when the
tide is out, and you form characters or
write words or names in the sand which
is spread out so clear and beautiful al
your feet, according as your fancy NAV
dictate; but the returning tide shall in
few hours wash out and efface all you
have written. Not so the lines and
characters of truth and error which
your conduct imprints on the mind of
your child, which neither the floods nor
the slow-moving ages of eternity can
obliterate. How careful should each
mother be in her treatment Of her child
How prayerful and how serious, and
how earnest to write the eternal truths
OF God on his mind-those truths which
shall be his guide and teacher when her
voice shall be silent in death. and her
lips no longer move in prayer in his be-
half, in commencing her dear child to
her covenant God.

Paris, erstwhile so furious for his blood
raised him and her on their shoulders
and wild, furious array marched
away down the street TO where La Com.
mune sat with closed portals. La
Commune was, however, easily got at,
and when the wild array burst in will,
its hostages borne aloft, it was only
too happy TO grant what was wanted,
and when they returned, like sea
going out, the two were landed close
together, and he, the great general, the
proud marquis, folded her in his arms
and kissed her, while the tears stood
in his eyes. They were very happy.
Do YOU see that couple yonder-
that tall gentleman with gray hair,
riding behind the Marshal of France |?
Well, that is Monsieur the Marquis,
and the tall lady, with hair like a sun
beam, is his wife.
They are married, Yes B.; and though
the red ashes of La Commune are
crushed out dead forever, as they ride
on the boulevard many a cap is touched
that way, for they are always very kind

getting. though she is now Madame
the Marchioness, that she was once
only poor sewing-girl.

A Sign Of Degeneracy.

DIR. Cuyler thinks that the scramble
on the part Of native born Americans
for ''snug berths," for situations" for
anything rather than for good trade.
is sign of national degeneracy. He
adds, in the Evangelist
AS . necessary result of this grow
ing mania for living by the wits, there
is lamentably small number of our
native youth who are learning any
trade. Horace Greeley said to US
year before his death, IL cannot lay
my finger on single young American
who is learning q trade. They are
dbore it; and they leave mechanical
pursuits to foreigners" Our modern
Franklin spoke the truth. What Mr..
Greeley observed has quite Tailed with
our own observation. In the last half
dozen years, among the scores of our
young countrymen who have applied
TO us for aid in getting ''situation,"
only one desired to acquire mechani-
cal pursuit. He got discouraged very
soon, and turned ''counter-jumper' in
thread and needle store. u New
lork dry goods merchant or the presl-
dent of an insurance company should
advertise for clerk, they would have
an hundred applicants in an hour. If
boot maker should advertise for Il
smart Yankee boy to come and learn
his trade, he would not have two ap-
pllcatlons IN a week. Nearly every
shoemaker that we know of in BROOKLYN
is German. The great Roger Sher-
mans useful and honorable trade is
sadly out of fashion. Lyman Beecher's
father was blacksmith but if one of
Lyman Beecher's descendants should
take to the anvil, ne would be publish
ed far and wide as a phenomenon.
In our native region, thirty or forty
years ago, nearly every lad either
learned trade or went to work on a
farm. Here and there one migrated to
a large town to become merchant, or
entered college for professional edu-
cation. All this has changed now-a-
days and for the worse. Mechanical
pursuits are voted vulgar. They are
mostly left to foreigners. The rage is
for clerkships in stores, or banks, or
public offices, Or for a hap-hazard life
OF speculating and getting rich easily
and rapidly. Hard work and slow,
sure gains by honest toll, are becoming
out Of vogue. The race of native
Franklins, Shermans, Burritts. Gree
leys, Henrys, Palmers and Wilson's,
who have risen into eminence from
humble mechanical pursuits, is likely
to become extinct.

ed Inc. think the enraged cook, the
steersman, and the deck hands, must
have thrown away half barrel of

under the bridge, and hit the bridge,
but not one hit the mark they were
aimed at, if l except few lively
spatters Of juice and mashed pulp from
one or two that struck the timbers

His whole life, in its broad philanthropy,
in its prevailing spirit OF service, in its

In his simplicity and truthfulness, he
spake as one who was consciously full

men. We mourn his departure as an
irreparable loss. Yet is there not ground
for thankfulness that he was taken from
us while we could lament his removal;
that he was spared the slow decay, the
living death, which added years might
have brought; that there is no sad ap-
pendix OF decline and intirmily to the
fair volume of his life; that he has been
