Teach children Tc Converse.

Comparatively few people know the real
value of being able TO converse well. And
yet,ssis there really any accomplishment that
is as valuable and delightful? Ambitious
mothers exert every energy to have their
daughters accomplished in music, drawing paint
ing, to have them perfected in science and liter
ature but how few think OF the one over
crowning excellence of all, the art to convey
to others in clear, sensible and attractive
manner, the stores of the mind Great caro-
should be taken to make ideas of children cor
rect they should be taught to look carefully
at small things-at everything desirable to know
at all to understand thoroughly, and then learn
to communicate this, first by talking and
then by writing about it. In this way, by I'M
perceptable degrees, children learn to converse

inKtOns NaIchet.
The Meade county (Ky.) Mirror tells the fol-
lowing story, but oblgingly tells us that it can
not vouch for its truth "One day last week,
while man, whose name we are unable to learn,
was engaged in cutting slaves about two miles
from Painsville, a rabbit sprang out of brush
pile, and the man, with visions of rabbit hash
looming up before his mind, hurled his hatchet
with great force in the direction of the cotton
tail
Missing it's aim the hatchet diss ppeared down
a hole in the ground short distance off, to
which the man proceeded and as he could see
his weapon lying about SIX feet below, proceed
ed to lower himself for the purpose of recover
ing it. Arriving at the bottom, he observed a
room like cave, about ten feet square, which
was dimly lighted by the sunlight without.
Casting his eyes about him, he discovered
a pile of Indian toiuahawks Toward
these he advanced for the purpose Of ex-
animation. While doing 50. he discor-
cred two earthen vessels, almost within reach,
which be saw were iilled one with silver, the
other with gold coin. lalalyzed for the mo-
ment at the discovery ot SUCH vast riches. he
stood and stared in blank astonishinent For q
moment only did he stand thus, but advancing
with panther like leap, he was about to seize
his prey, when there arose succession Of such
shrieks yells and noises that he paused,
and glancing up he saw gazing upon him
eight or ten things resembling men who
had once lived, but now nothing remained but
their bones. 1t is useless to say the staye cut
ter lost no time getting out OF the cave, with
out even obtaining one piece OF the precious
metal to bear him out in his story. 1t appears
that he is truthful man, and his story is be-
lieved by quite number, who are organizing
themselves for the purpose OF making an exam
