Some years ago benevolent lady
of this city took little negro into
her family, intending to give her a
very thorough, moral and religious
training. Unfortunately the child was
much given to lying, and though the
mistress strove necessarily by pre-
cept and example to eradicate this
vice, her efforts were far from sue
cessful. One day, returning home
after some hours absent the lady was
met at the door by her sable hand.
maid, who, with many tears, inform
ed her that she had broken very
valuable china pitcher, ali heirloom
in the family.
Here was light in the darkness at
last, stric. truthfulness in the face
of reprimand or punishment, and the
good mistress was delighted. Such
an opportunity toreward and strength
en- virtue must not be lost; SO the
lady magnanimously forgot her an
noyance at the loss of her cherished
pitcher, lone of a pair, and taking
out penny, said kindly, swell, ,Jcn-
ME, since you have been such good
girl, and told the truth so quickly, !;
shall not even scold you. Here is a
penny for you.'
Alas, the next morning the lady,
returning home from the market, was
met at the door again by her prom
ising pupil, who delightcd'y exclaim-
ed: "Oh, missus! Use broke the
other pitcher. Won't you give me
another penny"

American Wheat In Eng land. !.

The London Pal Mn Gazette
says: The enormous import Of wheat
from the United Sta'es into this
country, and the probability that it
will increase rather than diminish in
time to come, leads us to reflect how
it happens that Indian corn, which is
SO largely consumed in various forms
by all classes in America, fails to find
favor with Englishmen at home. In
some ways maize is certainly to be
preferred to wheat; and those who
have once acquired the taste for it on
the other side of the Atlantic certain
ly miss the Indian corn on their re-
turn. We suppose, however, that
there is little hope that our working
classes will ever take to this cheap,
wholesome and nutritious food. The
mere fact that it is cheap, operates in
some measure against its adoption.
There is nothing, perhaps, in an Eng
lishman's nature so stupid as his dis
ike to have it supposed that he is
content with cheap food. And In
dian corn is very cheap. It is main
tanned by those who ought to be well
informed, that it pays to grow maize
On the plains at shilling bushel,
aud that If there were sufficient de-
mand it could be prodtably exported
thence and sold in our manufacturing
cities at three shillings q bushel, or
twenty-four shillings a quarter
about half the price of wheat.

which only wife can perform. And
how do you requite her?
Do you ever praise her? DO you
ever say her coffee is excellent, her
preserves like amber, her sponge
cake light as feather? You can
say all this at Mrs. jones' table read
lily enough.
Do you ever praise her golden
curls now, or notice her neat fitting
dress, or the becoming ribbon at her
throat? Do you ever kiss her when
she stands on iip-toe to tie your
cravat as you used to do?
Ohpyou say, a man cannot be for.
ever courling a woman! When he
marries that sort of thing ends.
We think that in all true marriages
courtship begins at the altar; and
from the results Of varied observation
among large circle of married
friends, we are satisfied that between
husband and wife tenderness--"spoon

so-pays.

too great to secure to you what falls

Personal attractions most girls pos
sess-at any rate, in sufficient de-
gree to render them attractive to
somebody, for although there are
standards of beauty, yet these do not
prevail with all persons. There is
something wonderful in the difference
Of aspect which the same face wears
to different beholders. Probably the
same philosophical explanation of this
is what, if hidden from all others, be-
comes Immediately and instinctively
apparent to the eye of love. How
can moderately good looking girl
increase her attractions? by culture.
She must cultivate her mind. An
ignorant, illiterate woman, even if
she attracts attention, can not attain
the interest of an intelligent man.
She may do this by reading, by study,
by reflection, and by familiar conver-
sation with the best and most highly
educated persons with whom she
comes in contact. But the heart
must be cultivated as we'll as the
head. 'Of al things" exclaimed a
most elegant and refined gentleman,
after nearly life times familiarity
with the best society-"of all things
give me softness and gen,leness in
a woman A harsh VOICE, coarse
laugh; trities like these have sudden
ly spoiled many favorable first inn
preston. The cultivation of tho
heart must be real, not feigned. A
woman who studies to appear rather
than be good or generous seldom sue
ceeds in deceiving the other sex in
these respects. She who in truth
seeks earnestly to promote the happi-
ness OF those around her, is very apt
soon to obtain admirers among men.
Above all other requisites in a woman
is conscientiousness. Without this
touch-stone Of character, no matter
what her charms and requirements,
she can not expect to command the
lasting regard of any man whose love
is worth having.

Gem Thoughts.

When the spirit is willing, but the
flesh weak; when the law in the
members wars against the law of the
mind; when, though you would do
good, evil is present with you; when
scme irresistible current seems to be
setting you down away from what
is good and right;-then remember
that you need not despair; that you
are not asked to do more than you
can, but only what you can; that,
having little, you are to use diligence
gladly to give Of that little, and that
your reward will be greater if you
use your own talent Alright, and i'm
prove it to the utmost, than those
will obtain who, having great en-
dowmcnt of power and faculty, make
little use of it, James Freeman

A new and good story OF President
Lincoln is told by the Boston Tran
script. 1t is of "Li,,lc Bennie,'
boy who enlisted at an early age
One night the companion who went
with him was sick, and the boy had
to go out on picket duty in his stead.
The next night Bennie had to go out
again. As it was his second night
without sleep, he became weary and
fell asleep. He was tried and order
ed to be shot. When the news
reached his father and mother in Yer
mont, it was terrible blow to them.
News came also that Mr.. Licoln was
not going to interfere again in army
affairs; SO the father and mother
thought there was no hope for their
boy. There was little child in the
family who had read the life oe Lin
coin, and she knew that he was q
man of compassion, and she said to
herself, "If Mr.. Lincoln knew all
about the circumstances, he would
not let him be shot" She took the
train and went to Washington. She
went to the White House. The sen
tries, after little, passed her in. She
went right to the Private Secretary,
and he too passed her into the room
to tho President. There we're Gov
ernors and Generals there, but when
Lincoln turned around and saw the
lassie. he asked her what she wanted
and she told it all out in her own
way. AS he listened, the great tears
came stealing down his chceks-he
couldn't keep them back. He at
once wrote dispatch, and telegraph
ed it to the front, to have the boy
sent to Washington. lie went homo

Another Story Of Custer's Death.

The Detroit (Mich.) Daily Ne,os
Of the ID of August prints a letter
from a soldier in Gen. Reno's COM
mand, who, describing the last s.rug-
gle Of Gen. Caster in the battle on
the Little Big Horn River, says:
General Custer and his FIVE com
panies took position on a ridge in the
centre Of the Indian camp, cut off
from access to water, and there they
fought desperately all day long, a
CONSPICUOUS mark for the savage
marksmen all around them. At last
when half his command had been
killed, he called on those that re-
NAMED to follow him aud dash bold
II through the red devils. 1t was
running the gauntlet Of at least two
thousand rifles for the whole distance.
His men did not follow him, and
when he got through he found him
self with single Crow Indian, one
Of his scouts. He would not leave
his men perish alone, and turned to
go back, but the Grow, recognizing
that such movement would be fatal,
grabbed his horse and implored him
not to do SO. Custer only laughed,
and, putting the reins of his horse
between his teeth with a revolver in
each hand dashed back through the
hell of smoke and flying bullets. As
if by miracle he reached the rem
nant of his command, which was now
reduced to forty men. Calling on
these survivors again to follow him,
which the example and success of
his former charge disposed them to
do, he led them from their place of
peril over the path Of lis solitary
charge.
sThat was the last seen of them
until the battle was over, when the
whole party, with Custer in their
midst, were found stark and dead
within a circular rampant formed by
their horses bodies. They had evil
dently at the last moment made up
their minds to sell their lives dearly,
shot their horses, and then raising
them as breastworks fought on with
the vigor Of despair until tho last
man was dead. What they suffered
and what they did within the fatal
circle will ever remain locked in mys-
terry. OF all Of Clusters men only a
Crow scout and a sergeant Of Com
pany ! escaped.
"From the descriptions in the pa
pers you cannot imagine the hor-
rors Of the scene after the battle. !
went over it with the artist as the
dead lay IN heaps where they fell,
and ! shall ever remember it. Gen
eral Custer was found with his clothes
upon him, bu. his two brothers were
terribly mutilated. When the fight
was in progress the Indian squaws
would rush in among the wounded
soldiers and beat out their brains
with clubs.
"Charles Reynolds, Clusters chief
scout and the best shot on the Mis-
souri River was shot off the back of
his horse, and in falling caught the
horse and killed him, and making a
breastwork OF the beasts body, he
commenced terrible slaughter of
the Indians. He lay behind his
horse, dying and still shooting, and
every shot he fred his deadly aim
sent savage to the devil. When
he was taken off the field after the
fight twenty-five dead Indians were
found around him."
