DON'T--PLEASE, DON'T.

Don't tell the little one who may he
slightly willful, that the black man
will come out of the dark cellar and
carry it off if it does not mind" Don't
create q needless fear to go with the
child through all the stages of its ex-
istence.
Don't tell the little fve-year-old jim
my 6" the school ma'am will cut off his
ears" pull out his teeth"-"tie him
up'-or any of the horrible stories that
are commonly presented to the childish
Imagination. Think you the little one
will believe anything you tell him after
he has become acquainted with the gen.
tie teacher who has not the least idea
of putting these terrible threats into
execution?
Don't tell the children they must not
drink tea because it will make them
black, while you continue the use of
it daily. Your example is more to them
than precept; and while your face is as
bright as June morning they will
scarcely credit the oft-told tale. Either
give up drinking the pleasant beverage
OF give your children better reason for
its non-ilse
Don't tell them that they must not
eat sugar Or sweetmeats, because it will
rot their teeth. Pure sugar does not
cause the teeth to decay; and sugar
with fruits is nutritious and healthy,
notwithstanding the /" old saw" to the
contrary. The case of city children is
often cited as if the cause of their pale
faces and slight constitution were al
over amonnt of sweetmeats with thei1
diet, when the actual cause is want OF
pure air and proper exercise.
Don't tell the sick one that the medi-
cine is not bad to take when you can
hardly keep your own stomach from
turning inside OUT at the smell of it.
Better by far to tell him the simple
| truth, that ii is disagreeable, but neces-
sary for his health, and you desire him
to take it at once. Ten to one he will
swallow it with half the trouble of coax
ing and worry of words, and love you
better for your firm, decided manner.
Don't teach the children by example
to tell white lies to each other and tc
their neighbors. Guard your lips and
bride your tongue if you desire te
have the generation truthful. Truth
fulness is one of the foundation stones
of heaven. Remember the old, ole
Book says, "no liar" shall enter withir
the gates of the beautiful city. There
is no distinction between white lies ant
those of darker hue. The falsehooG
is an uutruth, whether the matter bt
great or small. .---Ru7dl Net1 Yorker.

"ExcUsE Ny GLOVE. Certain kinds
of mistaken politeness, sincere as they
are, are absurd enough to be grotesque.
A common mistake of this sort, with
some persons, even in large cities, is to
say, "Excuse my glove" when they
offer their hand to a casual acquaint-
ance, or on introduction to stranger.
It might be inferred from this remark
that the wearing of gloves is rather ex-
tremely rare in q civilized community,
or that the wearer wishes to advertise
the extraordinary fact that he has gloves.
All he really desires is to appear polite
never suspecting for moment that he
is simply ridiculous.
If you offer to shake hands with any
one in place where it is customary to
wear gloves, you certainly need no ex-
cuse for compliance with the habit. You
might, with equal reason, on receiving
visitor at your house, apologize tc
him for not removing your coat before
bidding him welcome.
The phrase probably had its origin II
the days when gloves were clumsy, ano
used more for protection than as al
essential of dress. Then the naked
hand was thought to be an evidence o.
good will and cordially. Since gloves
have been universally adopted, the ide'
of asking pardon for wearing them Ii
an anachronism as we'll as improperly
Gloves are now made to fit exactly
so that, were it courtesy to take then
off on encountering ones friends or &C
quaintances, an amount of time ant
trouble would be required which woult
inevitably render social greeting a
once a comical exhibition and bore

A TALE OF Two PoETs. james Rus
sell Lowell, the elegant and high-cul-
tuned poet and professor of Harvard
University, who has just refused Grants
offer Of the Russian mission, took occa-
sion in visiting this place to call upon
and make the acquaintance of more
youthful child of Parnassus, whose
roseate productions had attracted his
notice. The poetical sapling Qet me
call him X.) felt quito overcame, and,
in short, was really i'll n state of suf-
fusion" when the lofty genius, at once
famous and obscure, made his appear
ance, revealed his name, and stood be-
fore him in his limited quarters. AS
soon as X. had recovered his self-poise
he sought to appease the author of The
Cathedral by an incense offering, and
in softest voice, with gracefullest bow,
he rendered him seductive cigar from
handy box of Flor del Fumas. But
havn't We got pipe?" said Lowell:
that's what I'd like" X. happened
to have Just that sort of thing at hand,
produced it with the Killikinnick, and
presently vast clouds, rolling from Low
ellis mouth swept around his mead
Hereupon, amazed at such queerness,
X. produced decanter of wine, which
he placed before the creator of Hosea
Biglo,o.
"But havn't ye anything stronger
than that ?" was the sound that came
out of the smoke-cloud.
\. grappled bottle of whisky
("That's what I like" said LOVELY,
passing it to the "Vision of Sir Lunfel, /"
who seized it by the neck, poured out
a couple of stiff horns, and there, over
smoking pipes and jovial forums the
elder poet and the younger got to know
and understand each other, and estab-
lished themselves in cooperative atti-
tude of mutual admiration like unto
that which they might have enjoyed by
reciproca'ly quafing the oracular bever'
age of the Castilian font
Such is Lowell-one of the friendli-
est freest and juciest of the high-toned
products of literary culture. - Cincin

AFnmIIInr Face Gone.

L. +. Knipe was found dead in his bed
at Ewes hotel, near the Chattanooga depot,
early yesterday morning. He had been IN
narrow circumstances since the fall Of
1866, when he was rendered p rmansntly
lame by jumping from a window Of burn
inc building. Thus untitled for active en-
plOyment, he became depressed in spirits
and fell into habits which ultimately ledtO
his death.
A Pennsylvania by birth, he settled in
Nashville a few years before the war.
When the war broke out, he sided with
the South and, as a member of Company
c. First Tennessee Cavalry, served until
the surrender. The COnfederscy had no
drawer, no more faithful soldier. lie had
brother, Gen. Joseph Knipe, Of Harris
burgh, Pa, who won much distinction a;
a Union cavalry commander, and who /:
still gratefully remembered for his humane
treatment of our citizens when Nashville
and the surrounding country was occupied
by the Federal forces.
The family of the deceased, in Harris
burgh, were notified by telegraph Of TIM
| sad event. The remains will be taEeI
| from GrOomes', Cherry street, at ten O'clOcl
| this morning. and will be deposited in
vault at the city cemetery, until the wishe
| Of the relatives can be ascertained.
Mr.. h ipe had never married. His at
| fairs are in the hands of General W. b
! Bate, who, with other friends, has made al
necessary arrangements for the funeral.

Case, Goes Up For Fifteen Years-Our
Big OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
To the Union and American:
don't know Of any news ahOat in our
little city, except the conviction Of John
GOsey, col, the principal in the Herbert
poisoning case, and sentenced to fifteen
years in peuitentiary. The court is to-day
engaged in the trial of Fanny Herbert, COL,
another party implicated, and from what
information outsiders can gather, she will
share the same fate. The poison case and
the Wilson case, are the only ones that ek-
cite much interest. After our Criminal
Court adiOurns, aud perhaps before, our
sheriff will bring down larger instalment
Of members Of the striped brigade, than
usual.
DR.. Clark, of our city, is dangerously i'll
al this time, and although somewhat i'm
proved, is still in a critical condition.
We were all glad TO hear that Cal Wagner
had turned up again in your city andi billed
| for tonight, but were correspOndingly sor-
~ that we could not muster up sufficient
currency to 90 and see aud hear him. We
hope TO be able to come TO the celebration
on next Monday, and ia ,e part in the jubi-
lee on the birthday of the Father of hi:

ticIpated by your patriotic sons, and We
hope you will make it a success.
