CoNFIDE. IN YOUR CHILDREN
In American society there is an
amazing separation of old people
from Young. 1t comes, we believe,
of the lack of family intimacy bet
ween the old and young. To most
narents children are incapable crea-
tures, TO be taught, provided for,
ruled. disciplined, mentally conde-
scanded to, from babyhood to that
Astonishing morning when they dis
cover that the babies are young men
and women in whose plan Of exist
once they have little vital part. The
mother buys the daughters hand
kerchiefs and pins, up to the tlme
bar trousseau is needed. The father
dacides all questions for his boy till
the boy is ready to leave the home
roof. Boy and girl go outside the
house for their intinates and their
interests. They are not expected TO
bear their part in the entertainment
of puests or cast vote in the house.
hold committee of ways ana means.
The deep social question of the
daughter. The issues of war and
peace, of politics, of hard times,
private straits or public dangers, the
father talks over with his stupid
neighbors, but not with his quick
witted eager sons. Not making
their children their companions and
friends, parents are yet smitten win
paip and bitter sense of ingratitude,
when they find that their children,
Young men and women, do not care
to make companions and friends of
them. Perhaps this parental reserve
is a legacy of the stern Puritan
days, when the parental office and
authority were so magnified that the
statute book permitted those chill
dren to be put to death who "cursed
their orderly parents after the age
of sixteen. But, whatever its
source, its effect is infinitely mis-
chievous.

Hop BEER. - This is healthy,
easily made, and really valuable.
1t will keep six or eight months;
three months after it is made it is
almost equal to ale. This recipe
makes Is gallons: II ounces hops,
6quarts molasses, 10 eggs; put the
hops in a bag and boil them 10 min
utes in 8 pals of water; put in the
molasses while hot, and pour imme-
diately into a strong ale eask, which
can be made perfectly air-tight, and
put in the remainder of the water
cold; let the mixture stand until
cool, and then add the eggs, well
beaten. This beer will not ferment
IN cold weather, unless put in quite
warm place.

How TO Cook CoDFIsH.-Wash, /,
pick up little, and soak it for a
long time, say four or five hours in
summer, or all night in winter, in
warm water; change the water and
drain; pick out the bones and heat
1t scalding hot, but do not boil.
Make some good milk gravy, adding
cream if you have it, and butter, a
small piece, with dash OF pepper.
Let this boil little, then add the
hsh in about the proportion Of a
PINT of soaked fish to quart OF
gravy. Never let the Goldfish boil; (;
1t hardens it.

A JUST DEMAND.-The publishers
of Webster's Dictionary have been
asked to purge that book OF the Of
fensive meaning of two words. The
word &" Jew," when as verb, is said
to signify to cheat or detraud, to
swiudle; and the other is /" Jesuit" >"
which is defined to mean crafty
person, an intriguer. They have
promised to expurge the verb "Jew,"
but refuse to change the meaning of
- Jesuit" This seems to smack of
intolerance. In the beginning these
words did not possess any offensive
signification. No religious society
that the world ever saw numbered
among its members more acute IN
tellects or more self denying virtue
than the ." Society of Jesus" No
race ever produced better scholars,
ADLER Statesmen, purer morallsts, or
more gifted and accomplished artists
than Jewish. If ignorance or big
otrv has affixed an offensive mean
ing to these or any other words of
like character, let learning and piety
remove it, and let current language
be like a good conscience, that IS
..void of otfense toward God and
man. ."-GdiUeStOH NeUS.

THE San Antonio Express says OF
noted western celebrity, " Big
Foot Wallace" so celebrated i'll the
story papers as an Indian fighter,
was on the street this morning. We
suppose he is one of the men who
"woke up one morning and found
himself famous" We took a good
look at the alleged celebrated scout,
and found him to be stout, roughly
dressed, rough faced, gray headed
man, of about fifty-tive years OF age.
He was in his shirt sleeves, wore an
old battered hat, and shoes and
clothes to match. We did not see
his foot measured. In conversation
he appears to be jolly, hearty and
good humored, though with a very
unassuming manner.

called the Union, used jointly by several
denominations. The Episcopalans are
making strenuous efforts to build a place
of worship for themselves. A flourishing
school for both sexes formerly under the
fostering care of Rev. Mr.. l., but now
presided over by Mr.. B, an ex-lawyer
and an ex-Nabob. Alas alas he'll never
be Nabob any more l must not forget
to say there is Jail, most important
adjunct to the Court House.
Apretty town is Munroe. The houses are
neatly finished, though most of them only
one and ahalf stories in heighth surrounded
by neatly kept yards and gardens, even
now, when the sun shines, fragrant with
the odor of violets. There are pretty
walks in and around the town. Great
oaks, " from little acorns grow" and
spread their branches broadly. Other trees
there are not of my list of friends, some
evergreen, some covered with brown leaves
which hang till pushed off by the saucy
young leaflets that come il the Spring
time to take their places. China trees
there are, some low, shaped like an open
others large and covered with
yellow berries which the hooking birds
feed upon till they are positively drunk.

a greater influence for the better would be
exerted on the public. A great many
wear church membership garments, which
are so threadbare that the eyes of the world
have no trouble in discerning all kinds
knavery and hypocracy within. A dozen
men and women who live pure lives, wear
their hearts on their sleeves out side the
church, and make some personal sacrifices
for the sake of honesty, exert more influence
for good on the world at large, than thous
and churches filled with long faced Davids,
whom the world will not trust or believe.
There is vast preponderance of sham

TO SPRING..
BY BRASSEYA ALLEN.

Welcome, welcome, genial Spring;
Welcome, all the joys you bring;
Now will every muse her Tyre
String with soft poetic fire;
Milton to the grand sublime
Did in this sweet season climb:
Pope, as gentle as the SWANS,
Whom his fancy aptly feigns;
Gay that tells, i'll rural sports,
Where the sylvan game resorts;
These attun'd the Mantuan reed
In the fields that Spring array
Now do leaves adorn the groves,
Where the thrushes sing their loves;
DRESSED in green, the cheerful trees
Culver in the passing breeze,
Culver ev'ry leaf, and shew
All their beauties, as they blow:
Youthful zephyr fondly flies
Ger the tiowertS, as they rise,
Kissing each and on his wing
Bearing all the sweets of Spring.
In the shepherds bosom CLOVIS
Love that pure from nature flows,
Love that never barters bliss
For joyless venal kiss;
Fly, We hayward passions, fly
With the Winters sullen sky;
All is calm and sweet around,
Calm should too the breast be found.
Hawthorns, in the early dawn,
Shed their fragrance DER the lawn,
And the wild heath, sweeter too,
Sprinkled with Aurora's dew,
Emblem of the virgin mind,
BY sense and modesty retin'd.
See the farmer where he stands,
Plenty teeming from his hands,
Whjstling, as he strews the grain
Ger the fallow brown-clad plain;
Whilst |, pleas'd, survey around
Every flower that decks the ground.
Whilst l view, with ravish'd eye,
Natures sweet variety:
Shall the power, that form'd the whole
Known, ador'd, from pole to pole,
Be forgotten Nature cries,
"Thank the God that babe me rise
Let my heart, and let my lay
Homage to my Maker pay.
