Don't IIlom Talent to Hast.

As by constant friction steel is kept
highly polished, so by constant exer-
else is talent ever at its brightest, ALI
our powers grow by use. If we neg
lect to cultivate the habit of observa-
ton, we might as well walk through
the world blindfolded. We lose our
faculty-what the. artists call our
touch by neglect of practice on
other things beside the piano. The
man who seldom reads, reads slowly
the woman whose writing is confined
to an inirequent letter to some absent
child, spends more time over that than
does practical writer over dozen
pages of manuscript. Exercise of
possessed talent is absolutely necessary
then, if we would retain our gifts
For examples: If our occupation is
sedentary, We need plans for walks.
rides, and active games to keep our
muscles 1.-THE and serviceable. But
If our employment gives US enough
muscular action, 1T Is not one with
less important to our health of body,
we should plan for mental exercise
for employment enough OF our MEM
DRY and reasoning powers to keep them
from rusting. And, in either case,
that life must be dwarfed and un-
healthy one that does not provide ex-
ercise for our spiritual faculties-for
worship, and charity, and patience,
magnanimity. Exercise of soul, mind
and body can alone bring US to the
stature OF the perfect man.

Gov. Brown on Louisiana.

Governor Browns message to the
Legislature closes as follows:
Permit me to express my congratu-
lations that unlike the Legislative As
sembly of our sister State, you have
been allowed to assemble peaceably
and perfect your organization without
intimidation. No military force sur
rounds your capitol or drives from
their rightful seats the representatives
of the people. The edict of petty
tyrant does not here avail to dispense
the State Legislature. Yet, your i'm
munity from such an outrage is just
now made more cOnspicuouOus by the
spectacle of Louisiana tramped under
foot and despOiled Of her liberties
If we may credit the reports that reach
us through the daily press and which
seem 10 have the sanction OF official
authority, the power of the national
government through its military arm
is being used for the subversion of the
liberties of the people of Louisiana.
Possibly it is not in your power TO do
more than interpose Il solemn and ear
nest protest against this glaring crime.
Yet if this be all that the representa-
tives of so valorous State as Tonnes
see may do, | trust that your protest
may be made with such emphasis and
earnestness as to arrest the attention
of every patriotic citizen in this Re
public and awaken the people every.
where to sense of the danger that
threatens our constitutional liberties

CORN SONG.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Heap high the farmers wintry hoard!
Heap high the golden corn;
No richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn.
Let other lands, exulting, CLEAN
The apple from the pine; go
The orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bestow,
To cheer us when the storm shall DRIFT
Our harvest fields with snow.
Through wales of grass and flowers
Our plows their burrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers
OF changeful April played.
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grair
The robber crows away.
All through the long, bright days of Jun,
Its leaves grew bright and fair.
And waved in hot midsummer noon,
Its soft and snowy hair.
And now with autumn's moonlight eyes
Its harvest time is come,
We pluck away its frosty leayes,
And bear its treasures home.
Then richer than the tabled gifts
Apollo showered of old,
Fair hands the broken grains shall sift,
And knead its meal OF gold.
Let vapid idlers roll in silk
Around the costly board = -
= Give ms the bowl of samp and milk
By homespun beauty poured
Then shame on all the proud and vain,
Whose folly laughs TO scorn f-5a
The blessings of our hardy grain,
Our wealth of golden corn.
Let earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye;
Give TO the worm the orchard fruit,
And wheat-fields TO the fly.
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let ns for his golden corn
send up our thanks to God.

Charge 1t.


A simple little sentence is this, to
be sure, and yet it may be considered
as one of the most insidious enemies
with which people have to deal. 1t is
very pleasant to have all the little
commodities offered for sale in the
market. and it sometimes hard to deny
ones self of the same when they can
be obtained by saying charge it. =
But this habit Of getting articles. how
ever small the charge may be, without
paying for them, keeps ones funds in
low state most of the time.
Il have no money to-day, but should
like the article very much, says a
young man who happened to 90 into n
store, and sees something which strikes
his fancy.
Never mind, says the gentlemanly
clerk. you are good for 1t.
We'll, will take it, and you may
charge it.
And so it is that little accounts are
opened at one place and another, till
the young man is surprised at has liza
bilities; which though small in detail,
are sufficiently large in the aggregate
to reduce his cash materially when
settling day comes.
In many instances, if the cash were
required, the purchase would not be
made. even had the person the money
by him; but to some getting an article
charged. does not seem like parting
with an equivalent.
Still when payday comes, as it al
ways does, this illusion vaniShes, and
a feeling is experienced of parting
with money and receiving nothing in
return.
If there is an actual necessity for
making purchase, and the means are
not at hand, there is a reasonable ex,
cuse for obtaining the same on credit
but when the article can be dispensed
with until payment can be made, it Is
much TO the advantage of the purch,
aser to do so.

POSTAGE.-We were of opinion that
it would require twenty cents to pre-
pay postage on our paper when sent
out of the county, but we find, since
testing it, that fifteen cents will meet
it. Persons wishing to take the paper
for six months, will have to remit ten
cents to pay the postage. We hope no
one will ask or expect us to send them
the CHRONICLEwithout the cash. All
owing us prior to Jan. l, of the pres
ent year, will confer a great favor by
renting the same at once, as We are
in pressing need of money.

RADICAL MALrGNITY,
A Mean Assault Upon the Southern
MethOdists.

i
The following is from the Cincinnati
Gazette, one of the very few Repub-
lican papers of the country claiming
any circulation or influence that have
sustained the infamous course of Grant
and Sheridan toward Louisiana:
The Methodist Episcopal Church
South wants the United States to pay
it $4,000 as damage for its occupancy
of the Book Concern at Nashville, du-
ring the war. 1t is not denied that a
large proportion Of the membership
of the church was disloyal, but it is
held that the church. as such, was a
non-political body, and SO not hostile
to the Government. In considering
the responsibility of corporation, one
must look at the conduct of its au-
thorized representatives and it will not
require much searching to discover
that DIR. McFerrin, the agent of the
Book Concern, and the editors of the
different Church periodicals at Nash
vile, we're fierce rebels. All the en-
ployes who did not take the oath of
allegiance to the Confederacy and sym
pathlZe with Its cause were dismissed
at the very outbreak Of the war;
When the national defeat at Bull Run
was known at Nashville, these officials
were open in their Civilizations, and
some of them were seen discharging
fireworks, while others exclaimed that
the Lord was on the Southern side.
Bishop Andrew recommended the
agent to secure the printing of the
Confederate authorities, and there
were actually issued from the concern
school books, alma hacsand other pub
LEGATIONS of an out-and-out rebellious
character Pirated editions Of North
ern works were also published there.
Other bishops of the church besides
DR.. Andrew were undisguised in the
expression of their rebel proclivities.
f,then, the officers and membership
of a church were Overwhelmingly

TIE FOOTSTEPS OF DECAY.


The following is a translation from an
ancient Spanish poem, which, says the Ed
ingburgh Review, is surpassed by nothing
with which we are acquainted inthe Span
ish language, except the lode of Louis de
Leon"
Oh. let the soul its slumbers break
Arouse itssenses, and awake
To see how soon
Life. in its glories, glides away,
And the stern footsteps of decay
30 Come stealingon-
49, - e 81 o. q q asr 81 aafE.
And while we view the rolling tide,
Down v hich our flowing minutes glide
~ Away so fast,
Let us tire present hour employ,
And deem each future dream a joy s1s
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive the mind,
No happier let as hope to find
Tomorrow than to-day;
Our golden dreams of yore were bright.
Like them the present shall delight
Like them decay.
Our lives like Fastening streams must be
That into the engulflng sea lsJit.Ltg
Are doomed 10 fall
The sea of death, whose waves roll on
Ger king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rivers lordlY tide, s-.
Alike the humble rivulet's glide
To that sad wayei -a.
Death levels poverty and pride,
The rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is bnt a starting-place;
Life Is the running of the race,
And death the goal
There all our glittering toys are brought,
The mai IA alone of all nnSOnglf
Is found of all.
See, then, how poor and little worth
Are all those glittering toys OF earth
That lure us here
Dreams of sleep that death must break;
Alas before il bids us wake,
We disappear.
Long ere the damp of death can blight,
The cheeks pure glow OF red and white
Has passed away;
Youth smiled. and all was heavenly fair
Age came and laid his finger there
And where are they?
Where isthe strength that spurned decay,
The steps that roved so light and gay,
The hearts blithe tone?
The strength is gone, the step is slow,
And JOY grows weaTiSome and woe
When age comes on

Value of Smiles.

Who can tell the value of a smile
1t costs the giver nothing, but is be,
yond price to the erring and relenting
the sad and cherries, the lost and
forsaken. 1t disarms malice, subdues
temper, turns hatred to love, revenge
to kindness, and paves the darkest
paths with gems of sunlight A smiis
on the brow betrays a kind heart, {
pleasant friend, an affectiOnate brother
dutiful son, a happy husband. Il
adds charm to beauty, it decorate:
the face of the reformed, and makes ;
lovely woman resemble an angel il
Paradise.
